SALVATION ARMY.

Paradfng with Drums and TambOu-
 r1nes-The New Officers in Charge.
 The Salvation Army were out again last evening with drums and tambourines. They were parading thusly no doubt on account of the new captains, who arrived Wednesday night The former captains were ordered to report at headquarters in Brooklyn. After their noisy demonstrations on the State House steps they marched to the hall. where the evening services were held. Here the small boys seemed to be in their element. They booted and shouted, which forced the new captains to shout "steady," 'steady, but instead of subduing them they grew worse and few had to be ejected. The meeting was very slimly attended and about seventy-five cents was collected. The new captains are quite young and seem to know just what is wanted of them
 No warrants were issued for the arrest of members of the army last night. The officers on the street do not propose to take the re- sponsibility of arresting them without orders from the city attorney, who has seen their complaints entered in their books.

Close of the Campaien.

The monotony of Thanksgiving
Day was somewhat relieved at three
O'Clock in the afternoon by a novel
wheelbarrow procession around the
public square, the result Of an cleo
ton wager made between Mayor r.
H. Fowler and L. H. Hightshoe, the
latter one of the staunchest Repub-
licans in this section, and also anoth-
er between T. L. Moore, Democrat,
and Herman Stellhorn another good
| Republican. Both Democrats enjoy
ed their ride. which was witnessed
by a large crowd, after which the
Mayor made a brief speech of con-
doience to his less fortunate friends
who furnished the muscle for the oc'
casion. MI. Herman Stellhorn also
made a short speech which brought
tears to his Republican friends. II
was hard to tell whether the riders OF
propellers enjoyed the affair thu
most. Every mi was in good humol
and all participating agreed tina
Thanksgiving day was the proper
time and a wheelbarrow procession
the proper affair to close the cam

The Kansas City Times Funny

The Kansas City Times, whenever
it has no argument against a man or
measure, tries to work IN a little funny
business. 1t takes q great deal Of
work and brain to grind out funny
stuff" of the Times variety. There
is a gentleman connected with that
paper not unknown to fame, who can
furnish column after column of with
ering wit which is much more effec-
tive than all the argument that the
rest of the entire force could posi-
bly, furnish. Speaking Of the boom
the press is giving Crittenden for
Secretary of the Interior it appears
to think the papers engaged in the
work will never reach Cleveland's
eye but get on the pantry shelf al
the mansion, anu says: "The bare
possibility that a bottle of tomato
catsup or a bowl of raspberry jam
or a jar of pickles may at this mo.
ment be resting or the Mexico LEDG
Err and ~perchance on the very name
Crittenden, is a thought not to b
endured. Crittenden and catsup

pickles!" Now our friend, tn
Times, is mistaken about the primar
use the LEDGER is put to. The pape
the LEDGER is printed on is selecte
by a lady with a view to getting pa
per that folds well and hangs graceful
ly over a string. Of course whe
not being worn it can be read If til

, in one channel then in another. {
course if we had any funny nan col
, nected with the LEDGER like Colon

i. Kansas City Times, we would not |
so solicitous about getting an anch,

A Short Scrap.

A small fight relieved the m~onotony of
of the morning session of the Exchange
yesterday. +. d. Graham, of Mexico,
Mo, and j. w. Carson, formerly partners
in the 'bucket shop business, but who
have not spoken for some months, met in
an aisle Of the Call Board and Graham
struck Carson in the mouth, drawing
blood. J. Will Boyd rushed between the
two and Rolla Billingsley hurried Graham
off the floor, while Carson withdrew to
the wash-room to remove the blood that
covered his face.-St. Louis Globe-Demo
crdt.
The above are about the facts in a
little unthoughted scrap a couple OF
our citizens had in St. Louis Tues.
day. We think the St. Louis Repub.
lican does Mr.. Graham an injustice
in its account of the affair. Graham
is a man who attends to his own bus.

never had a fuss before since he used
to snow ball while going to school.

THANKSGIVING Day,

Thanksgiving was generally OBJ
served IN this city. Union service
was held at the Christian church and
was largely attended. DR.. John
Wayman conducted the services, as,
sisted by Rev. J. s. Smith, Elder J.
w. Higbee and others. The choir
was under the leadership of Prot. R
Fl. Kinzie, and rendered some excel.
lent sacred music. After services a
collection for the benefit of the
worthy poor was taken up, and
quite a handsome contribution was
the result. The donation was turned
over to'a committee from the differ.
emit churches, consisting of Mrs. VIM
Stuart, Mrs. Josiah Wright, Mrs. G
M. Carroll, Mrs. John P. Clark and
and Mrs. James Galloway, for distri.
button. No such Thanksgiving has
been observed here for years.

Book Agent Retarded.

Our contemporary hardly ever says
e good word for q man who wants an
Office, unless he is the editor or own.
er of that paper. But We notice il
steps a little to one side to support
the book agent who once entertained
the editor of the LEDGER so rapidly,
for sergeant-at-arms. We suppose
the editor wants to reward the book
agent for doing what he himself has
often wanted to do but for private
ar6 sufficient reasons refrained from
doing.

The Laddonians enjoyed Thanks
giving very much in the way of big
dinners, social chats, feeling thank
full for their prosperity, etc. At night
Elder Shumate preached at the Chris
tian church. His sermon was a re-
view of che history of our country,
and Of the grand improvements that
had been made, and how we were
blessed in having so good a govern
ment. On that evening, our worthy
postmaster, Mr.. j. G. Bruton
brought home from Macon, Illinois,
his accomplished and highly cultured
wife, Mrs. Wilkins, to whom he was
married on the 26th. OF course he
felt like returning thanks
The snow and rain have hindered
the cor from coming in as fast as it
did, but the ducks come in, in large
quantities, and by SO doing a thanks
giving dinner was easily gotten up,
even if turkeys were scarce. Two
barber shops and two meat shops in
town. but beef sells SO high that many
Laddonians are content to 60 and
take a look at the fine slices, and 60
home and enjoy eating fried mush.
Doctors WEIGH and Roberts have
moved into their new Office on 2nd

Mrs. Dick Shell continues verJ
sick, but is thought to be improving
slowly. The health of the town ir
general is good.
Christmas is talked of and also

to get up a tree that will far surpass
any that has ever been here. The
building boom has not ceased yet
but continues lively. Laddonia wants
in the spring a big brick kiln, {
