with several invitations to attend the CON-

business engagements, coupled with the
celebration of the glorious fourth to take

A HANDSOME GIFE-Mr. @. Kline, our
enterprising neiglbor of the Old Reliable
store, has procured the local agency for u
new brand of soap, made from pure cocoa
nut and refined cotton seed oils, containing
no animal grease Or fat. This article bears
the appropriate name of Ideal White Soap,
and with every three-round bar, which
costs only % cents, the purchaser receives
a gift of a handsome silver plated teaspoon.
We venture to say that not one person in
twenty who sees one of those bars of soap
and the gift which accompanies it will fail
to invest quarter in the new soap.

MORE CROOKEDNESS.
The Whole Family in For a Good
Sized Racket With
Uncle Sam.

John White and his wife, who were ar,
rested short time ago, on United States
warrant, sworn out by Eli Sherer, charg-
ing them with having defrauded mis- wife
out OF 81 $40 pension money due her, were
re-arrested yesterday afternoon at about /
o'clock, on the charge of deirauding the
government. Harriet A. Sherer's name
also appeared on the indictment and she
was arrested last evening at about $50.
Deputy Constable Finch was detailed to
make the arrest, but for long time was
unable to find them. At last he received
information that the family was
moving to some remote part of the city. He
Immediately repaired to the house in which
they had formerly lived, and arrived just
IN time to catch them as they were leaving
the house with the last load of furniture.
The three gave bond in the sum of $500
each for their appearance at the September
term of the United States court at Jefferson
City.
The last charge is against the three for
obtaining pension money not due by false
vouchers. 1t seems that one is about as
deep in the mud as the other in the mire,
and Uncle Sam will have a good time with
them.

THIEF CAPTURED.
Frank Brown Attempts to Get
Away With Olmstead & JEFF
fersop's Team.

On the 18th inst, q man giving the name
OF Frank Brown went TO the livery stable
of Olmstesd & Jefferson, on Hancock street
and stated that he wished 10 hire two
horses and buggy to take his brother
home, who was lying sick near Warsaw.
He said he would be back Sunday even
ing. He procured the horses and when
leaving the stable picked up one of the
firms cards and put it into his pocket.
Sunday he tried TO sell the horses in
Kansas. The officers seeing that .it was q
fine team and suspecting from the exceed
ingly low figure for which he offer
ed them, that they were sto-
len, arrested him. On his person
was found the card which he had taken
from the stable. Upon this clue they tele-
graphed to Olmstead & Jefferson, telling
them that it was thought that team be-
longing TO them was held by the officers.
Mr.. Olmstead telegraphed back descrip-
ton of his missing horses together with
that of the man who had hired them. He
then appeared before Judge Halstesd and
filed information against Blown charging
him with having stolen the horses. With
the warrant and a set of shackles, Mr..
left yesterday in quest of his man
and will bring him back the same way he
Eent-in the buggy. 1t will take some
lime to get him here but Dick will bring
him just the same.
The team and buggy were valued at
800. Now that the thief has been cap
ured il is 10 be hoped that he will be
made to feel the strong arm Of the law.

THE SUCCESSFUL NAN

came forward to the chairman's table and
simply yet eloquently thanked the conyen-
lion for the honor which they had confer
red upon him. He had known what il
was TO win and what il was TO
lose. He promised a faithful dis
charge OF his duties and said that il he did
not roll up bigger majority in November
in the district than had ever been known
before he would never ask the party for its
sup port again. He expressed the deepest
admiration and esteem for his late compet-
itors and hoped that defeat might fall
lightly and not with bitterness upon
them.

Reese followed in speeches compli.
mentary to Mr.. Heard, pledging.
him their hearty and undivided support.

THE TWO TRUMPS.
How the Two Great Parties
Started, and What They
Have Been Doing.
Adam Was the First Democrat
and Cain DESTROYED the
Majority.

One OF the BAZoo Injuns and a friend
were yesterday afternoon sitting on the
sidewalk with their feet hanging over, see
ing who could come the furthest from tell
ing the truth. Ii is useless to saw who won
the match, for Judge Rife has already
given 1t as his opinion that, beside Mont
Carnes, the BAZOO takes the diiapidated
lily from of the dense shrubbery-and
Mont wasn't there. Finally the converse
ton flew the track and Topped over into
politics.
do you know how the two great
political parties first originated p asked
the Injun's companion.
Cant say, though have often supected
that they did not originate al all and were
the remains OF some past volcanic eruption.
You know there is always good deal of
smoke and noise around when the parties
get together"
We'll, do you want to know how they
originated"
Yes, If you know the circumstances sur
rounding the case would like to have you
tell me. But first, will you be able to get
through this week? If you don't / will
get too weak to listen. have 10 90 home
pretty soon and see if the neighbors have
brought in anything to eat"
swell, here goes, and may you be able
to remain. The democratic party was the
hrst In existence. Adam was a democrat.
and so was Eve, and
IF Adam and Eve were democrats,
where did the first republican come from
interruptingly asked the newsmonger.
Just keep your shirt on and / will get
to that part after while. The devil con-
cluded he'd take q hand In the thing him.
self and so told Eve to start party of her
own. This she did and callsd it the re-
publican party"
Then there was one democrat and one
republican. Where did the majority come
in7"
"Well you see two sons were born. Cain
and Abel. Cain was republican and Abel
was a democrat, and"
Eyes and still the parties were evenly
divided"
"Just 80. But the devil sometimes voted
the democratic ticket. Then Cain killed
Abel and that destroyed the democratic
majority, and Ben Butler went and voted
the Independent ticket, and then there was
a row in the camp. About this time Boss
Kelly came in and wanted to run the ma
chine, but Adam hit him in the eve
and sent him home. Then Finch was elect
ed temporary chairman o. the republican
More trouble. To wind up,
Ben Butler and DIR. Munford gave q spar
ring exhibition, and the democratic con-
zressional convention convened in Sedalia.
Of course"
The reporter became alarmed lest the
'rory should be as long as the holding in
Of the convention, and telling his friend
hat he suspected that his boss wanted
him, went over to his hole and pulled the
hole in after him.

A Remedy for Lung Diseases.

DR.. Robert Newton, late president of the
Electric College of the city of New York,
and formerly of Cincinnati. Ohio, used DR..
VIM. HALLS BALsAM very extensively in
his practice, as many of his patients, now
living, and restored to health by the use
of this invaluable medicine, can amply
testify. He always said thst SO good
remedy ought to be prescribed freely by
every physician as sovereign remedy in
all cases of lung diseases. 1t cures Con-
sumption and has no equal for all pectoral
complaints.

a Big Dollar.

As the reporter was meandsring around
through the East Sedalia yards yesterday
evening watching the cars being switched
from one track TO another, his attention was
called to one Of the yardmen who had inst
made coupling. He came half way out
from between the cars and given the engi-
neer signal TO pull ahead, at The same time
exclaiming "For Gods sake slack ahead ~
The engineer turred pale and the re-
porter turned on his heel, both supposing
that the mans hand had been
caught between the bumpers
and mashed. AS soon as the
cors were pulled apart, the engineer went
to the man and asked him If he was hurt.
NO." said he he 81 am not in the least
hurt"
did you get your hand caught ?" asked
the reporter"
"No, didn't get my hand caught"
Then what in the world did Won boiler
that way for?" asked the knight of the
throttle.
"You had a big dollar caught" said
the switchman.
The matter was then explained. The
employees are compelled to pay one dollar
for their coupling knives, and the yard.
man had his caught between the bumpers.
