Another horrible cremation, the &C.
count of which We reproduce from the
Piedmont Leader: News reached
this place Monday night that woman
named Melvina Stone, and an idiot
was found lying i'm the door of heI
mothers residence near Clearwater
about four O'Clock of that day, burnt tC
a crisp. She was living with her
mother about one and half mile
above Clearwater, and 40 before stated
she was not of sound mind. On the
day of this sad occurrence, her mother
was away visiting, leaving the woman
and boy ten years old at home
About twelve o'clock the boy went
away and never returned till four
o'clock, then IN company with man
named Bob Allcorn. On entering the
house the sad spectacle met their eyes.
There lay the woman dead, every
vestige Of clothing burned from off her
and her whole body, neck and face
was charred almost beyond recognition.
Just how this sad affair happened 10
one can tell. but the superstition is.
that she was standing near, or fell in
the fire and her clothing caught and
being an idiot, as is natural to sup
pose, she could make no great effort
to save herself.
Squire Randall held the inquest and
the verdict was that she came to her
death by accident"

A correspondent of the st. Joseph
Gazette, writing from st. Louis, says:
at is no open secret here that the
liquor men all over the State entered
into conspiracy to elect Ford Governs
or. He promised them everything, es-
pecially that he would veto any meas
ure looking to the submission of pro-
hibition amendment to the vote Of the
people. Ten days before the election the
wholesale whiskey men became alarm
ed aud Withdrew from the scheme.
The beer men all struck, and the retail
ers. Of course there were number of
true Democratic liquor dealers who re-
fused peremptorily to have anything to
do with the plot, but these We're the
exceptions. In st. Joseph. Kansas
City, Sedalia and st. Louis the conspir-
ators were especially active, and from
these points of operation an immense
amount of devilment was done. Mar
maduke refused to make any pledges
to them whatever, while Ford promis-
ed everything. Now that they see
what fools they have made of them
selves they are scared we'll nigh to
death, lest there shall be some savage
retaliation"

Cabool was the scene of fatal affray
named Barnes and one Hicks, son of
the proprietor of saloon in Cabool.
The two men got into controversy,
which was not at first vindictive, but
after some chatting both lost their tenn
per and a fist-and-skull ensued=Rarnes
getting the first knCck-down. He tried
to get away before matters came to
that pass, but Hicks held on to him
until he was compelled to strike out to
save himself. Hicks Immediately rose
to his feet again, and rushed at Barnes,
when he again knocked him down, and
falling upon him was in the act of
striking him with his fist, when Hicks,
who had drawn aself-cocking revolver
from his pocket, placed the muzzle oy-
er his left eye and pulled, the ball pass
ing into Barnes brain and killing MIN
instantly.
Hicks atonee rushed out and escaped,
but was overtaken half mile out in
the woods and brought back. When
caught his clothing was found to be
cut in several places. but as Barnes
knife was found closed in his pocket,
the cutting must have been done by
Hicks himself as an after-thought to
make a case of seif-defence.
The wife and two children of Barnes
were notified and came in, when a

ed, and by eating the flesh a person

Our brother of the Blanchester co.
Star, evidently doesn't believe that
civil service reform is going to cut
much of a "figger" in the returns that
will begin coming in about the 4th of
next March. Here is little Esopian
incident he furnishes his readers as
anent the situation;
4 certain man named Cleveland, who
came into possession of farm, was visited
by large number of his hungry friends,
who came to congratulate him on the result
of the official count. Thspewly elected pro-
prietor of the farm, being moved with com
passion al the famished condition of his
friends, ordered that the heads of sew
eral fine ROSTERS, who had been cocks OF
the walk, be cut off, and that the ROSTERS be
cooked for the entertainment of the guests.
Upon observing the preparations that were
being made to cut off their heads, the 4nfor=
tunate Republican ROSTERS cried out piteous-
ly: "Why do you attempt to cut off our
heards? We thought you were a civil service
reform President. We were great favorites
with your predecessor, and we are very use
full in announcing the break of the day.
Mr.. Cleveland responded that he believed in
civil service reform as far as theory was con-
cerned, but that his hungry friends had to
be fed, hence the heads of the Republicans
had to come off; and SO, without any more
talk, he pi oceeded to chop off their heads.
This fable teaches that necessity knows no
law.

The new public school building al

The new public school building at
Pennington was completed last week,
with the exception of painting, and
the people whereabouts are justly proud
of it. The Times says cit is hand
some aud strongly constructed building
throughout, and is as conveniently ar
ranged as it well could be for the pur-
poses for which it is designed. 1t has
two entrance halls, from each of which
ascend broad and solidly built stair
ways, made ofselect heavy ash timber.
There are four large school rooms each
with capacity of seating comfortably
about one hundred pupils. To each of
these rooms are attached two cloak and
hat rooms, one for the boys and one for
the girls, making eight in all. The
ceilings are high and the rooms well
lighted with large modern windows.
The roof is of slate and tin, and the cor
nice of galvanized iron. The outside
appearance of the building is pleasing
in architectural design. There are larg-
er school buildings in the State, but it
is doubtful that any of them are better
constructed for public school purposes.

Mr.. Albert Crane, of Howell county,
has received an anonymous postal card,
the writer of which evidently endeav-
ored to s'strike terror into the heart of
the tyrant." Mr.. C.'s father some
time ago bought about Is, 600 acres of
land from the Government, and on this
land are several squatters with their
improvements one of whom no
doubt is the writer of the anonymous
note. Mr.. Crane is willing to pay these
men a fair price for their improve
ments, but they want their self-elected
''homestids" out-and-out. The follow
ing is the note referred to. 1t was
posted at Lanton, on the Goth ult:
Mr.. CRANE-,Sir: You are threatened
with shot guns and fire if you don't settle
with the men you have deprived of their
homes. Two men say when five double bar
rel shot guns are presented to your breast
you will come to your senses. One man says
he will stay in the woods till the moss grows
one inch long on his back to kill Crane. Ii
he can't get an old one he will take young
one. Some are waiting for everything to get
dry and then,th match will be forthcoming.
The advice of a good portion of the COM
munity would be to settle with those men.
That's all that stops them. If would give
my name it would give ME trouble.

Presence of mind in moments of dam
ger will not always extricate one from
injury or death, as is evidenced by this
item taken from the Benton Record;
yet all will pray that the brave woman
who suffered may recover from her
misfortune:
Mrs. Frank Luster, who lives with her
husband on the Harbinson farm met with a
horrible experience on Wednesday of last
week. She was standing by the fire place
combing her chil'ds hair, when her clothes
caught on fire. When she discovered the
fact she rushed out doors and ran for the
branch, but the flame had made such head
way that she could not reach the water, and
had to lay down and roll on the ground to
extinguish the fire, but did not succeed I'M
til she was terribly burned. Her hands,
which had coal oil on them at the time were
much worse burned than any other part.
She Is in critical condition.

The commonwealth of Reynolds
county has run itself deeply into debt,
and some of it's citizens would like q
solution of the problem. The follow
ing is proposed: Let some one buy up
the debentures of Reynolds county,
and bring suit on them i'm Federal
court. This would lead to solution
and several other things. 1t may be
suggested that if James r. Arnold is
alive and out of the penitentiary, he
will have good chance to get back
the money he lost in the swamp land
operation. And also that whilst the
ruling element is composed of awfully
nice people, yet it would be prudent
for the plaintiff and his attorney to re-
side at considerable distance from
that magnaninlous commonwealth.
George D. Reynolds of st. Louis, would
be admirable counsel for the plaintiff.
The nation has passed through the

Mr.. Blaine charges his defeat to a
personal pique of Mr.. Conkling.
Mr.. Blaine is mistaken. Mr.. Conk-
ling is only powerful as he is the ex-
ponent of the determination of the
American people to submit no longer
to the dominion of clique. The plat
form on which MIR. Blaine stood, in
suited the intelligence of the American
people. by asking their support for
clique which admits that it had done
nothing for twenty Years, and was SO
conservative as to be OILY obstructive.
Other reasons for his defeat existed
but these were amply sufficient.

Last week the citizens of Corning,
Ark, made up purse and bought
tickets for some paupers who were a
burden upon the community, and ship
ped them to Cairo. Complaint was
made to the railroad managers by the
Cairo authorities, and the agent at
Corning who had sold the tickets was
notified that in consequence thereof he
stood fined in a certain sum. The
agent refused to pay the fine, and he
was promptly discharged. Now. if
there was some way of getting at the
good people" who tried to shift the
care of their poor to another COM
munity, it would be much more graft
flying and satisfactory to the general
observer.

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently proceeded by sense
of weight in the back, loins ana lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection of the kidneys OF
neighboring organs. At times, symptoms OF
indigestion are present, as fiatuency, un-
easiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very disagree
able itching, after getting warm, is a very
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the application
of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and
affecting permanent cure. Price, 80 cents.
