days in the Assize Court, was convicted
last night OF willful murder, with a recon-

were peculiarly atrocious and cowardly.

COUNTY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

About one-third of the presidents of
the county school boards met at the
Public School building on Tuesday at
2 p. m, for the purpose of selectin g
text books for use in the public schools
of the county for the ensuing FIVE
years.
Propositions were submitted from
several publishing houses. A Lively
discussion ensued and there seemed to
be general opposition to change.
At the same time there was an evident
determination to secure cheaper rates
on books, if possible,
P. F. Greenwood held that the series
of books must be selected at this meet
lag or not at all.
A. d. Risdon took the ground that
such was not correct construction of
the law, and that che meeting might
adjourn to some designated day and
members might in thu meantime cor.
respond with publishing houses and
get the lest terms. Motion was then
carried to adjourn to Feb. Sd. at which
time fnll attendance is urgently re-
quested.

Proud MISSOurIanS.

We see by special correspondence in
Post-Dispatch that the extent OF Mis-
souri's exhibit at the Worlds Far at
New Orleans up to date, is an untinlsh-
ed pyramid of beer bottles and whiskey
kegs. How proud a MissiourIan must
feel as he gazes on the proud monu-
ment of his states greatness and COM
pares it with those of Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Iowa and Illinois. We can imagine
we saw Professor Mason "strlke an at
titude" when he reached this particular
spot. Far away, half civilized, sheath
en- little Japan makes a far more
credible exh;tlt. Perhaps later on the
beer bottles and whiskey kegs may be
supplemented by chunk OF coal and a
piece of iron ore. Missouri has an ex-
ira large collection of pre-Adamite
fossils that might be added to the col
lection.
