What the Bad Boy Got.

"Onco upon a time" began the
teacher, ''two brothers started to
Sunday school on Sabbath morn
ing. Their way led past a fine
peach orchard, where the trees were
hanging over with ripe, luscious
peaches. One of the brothers pro-
posed going into the orchard and
getting some of the fruit, but the
other refused and sped away, leav-
ing his companion grecdily devour-
ing tho peaches. Now it happened
that the owner Of the orchard saw
them, and the next day rewarded
the good boy, who refused to steal
his peaches, by giving him so cents.
He got prize for his honesty, and
what do you suppose the other boy!
got for his dishonesty

every member Of the class, and

THE CLEVELAND SCANDAL.

I -
of an investigation of the filthy
scandal so industriously circulated
about Gov. Cleveland, maue by
highly respectable citizens, indie
pendents and Republicans, of Buff
falo, reproduced from the Times
Democrat in this evenings States,
will eliminate the indecent story
from this campaign. The story has
done Cleveland no injury. Such
stories, trumped up as this one was
for the grossest political purposes,
never do candidate any harm I'M
less they are sustained by clear and
indisputable evidence. By such
evidence the Cleveland scandal
never was supported. From its in
oeption up to the present time, after
having circulated through the col
umns of two-thirds Of the news
papers of the country, it has never
been sustained by any testimony
more reliable than the authority of
what is now known to be a disrep-
utable, irresponsible and sensation
al paper i'll Buffalo, and the en-
dorsement of an equally sensational
and disreputable preacher. But
while this foul story has in no
measure injured the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, it has
done harm otherwise. It has done
the harm that the circulation by the
press into every household in the
land Of any other indecent publica-.
ton would do. 1t has been read
by mothers, wives and maidens; it
has dragged filth and indecency
into circles where only chastity
should be known and pure things
talked of; it has sown the seeds Of
evil thoughts and evil deeds in
spotless souls, and taught innocence
a language it never knew before.
Every newspaper that has print
ed this beastly story haze committed
crime against society. Of course,
the excusc is that the newspapers
must print the news, and the pa
pers circulating this dirty scandal
defend themselves on the ground
that they are newspapers. So Mac
beth's hired assassins claimed to
be men.

'sTrue Democracy"

Judge Robinson's appeal to his
friend at the Burnett Opera House
last week to give to Col. Hutton their
earnest and undivided support-the
same they would have given to him,
is nothing more than was expected of
him by those who know his Democ-
racy. The Judge said that Col.
Hutton was the nominee of the party
and as such was entitled to it's sup
port, and that he hoped to see Pike
county roll up for him the entire
Democratic vote. He begged no one
to hesitate in his support on account
of disappointment, but to rally like
true men and Democrats to the stand
ard of Col. Hutton.-Louisiana Press.

" Never Better, Thank YOU"

We observe that Col. J. E. Hutton
has been nominated for Congress by
the democrats of the 7th Missouri
district. If he is elected he will rat
tie around in Judge Buckner's shoes
like a pea in a handbook. Col. Hut
ton has been an editor for a number
of years. He was president of the
Missouri Press Association at one
time. He lays claim, we believe, to
being the handsomest man in central
Missouri. As closely as acute OBJ
servers have been able to ascertain,
the colonel's chief stock in trade has
always been hay fever. Since the
high water of 1874 he has not been
heard to make q remark upon any
subject that was not coupled with the
statement that he had a terrible pain
in his nose.-Gene Field in Chicago
Neus.
The Col. don't care now, Gene,
how much you joke him. Most any
of us would even rattle around in a
whales belly or have four or five
stacks of hay in our nose if we could
go to Congress. The Col. never en-,
joyed better health in his life.

In CalIaway C~ounty-The End Not Yet.

FuIToN, No., Oct. IA most
horrible crime nj perpetrated ten
miles east of this place yesterday,
upon the person OF q ten-year-old
girl named Mary Bennett, daughter
Of Maj. Bennett, a respectable far
mer. She, in company with ayoung-
er sister, was returning home from
school, and while passing a corn field
half a mile from the house was waylaid
by three negroes working in corn
field, who seized and outraged the
oldest girl. The younger one es-
capped and gave the alarm, when a
posse went after the negroes, who
were found in the field, one armed
with q gun and two with corn-knives.
They at first refused to surrender, but
were finally induced to do SO, and
were placed in house under guard
at Guthrie, a small station. Early
this morning a mounted posse made
their appearance and opened FIRE on
the prisoners through the windows,
killing one of them The negro who,
it is claimed, perpetrated the crime,
feigned death, and the posse left.
The two surviving prioners were then
brought here and placed in Jail, but
the widest excitement prevails, and
armed squads are gathering in all d.
rections, and it is believed they will
lynch both the prisoners tonight,
though all is quiet at this writing in
town.
Maj. Bennett, father of the girl, il
a brother of Elijah Bennett of this
county. Up to date the guilty party
has not met his deserts.
