A Wandering Governor.

The association of the name of
Thomas G. Reynolds with the Spanish
mission furnishes Senator Vest sufIi-
cient prOvocation for telling reminis-
cences of the day when the. confeder-
ate states government of Missouri was
dOdging about i'm the bush down in the
Ozarks. Claib Jackson had gone off in
disgust and Reynolds was the acting
governor, establishing the seat of gov
ernment wherever Sterling Prices army
stopped over night. Even in those
days Reynolds was as punctilious and
polished as circumstances would per-
init. Vest says that one day he went
down to the farm house that was doing
service as the executive mansion at
that particular time. He had received
an intimation that Governor Reynolds
wanted to see him, and he walked in
wearing a apair OF top boots and a blouse,
and very little else. The governor re-
ceived him with considerable dignity,
and from time to time looked at his
outfit rather critically. However, the
evening passed along, and when supper
time came the governor and the guest
sat to meal which Senator Vest says
made his thoughts go back to the days
of tlapjacks at home. When they had
finished the meal the governor began on
his visitors attire.
"Vest," said he, ''you ought to be a
little more particular about your per-
sonal apre lranCe."
The visitor explained that under the
exigencies of the times he couldn't re-
spOnd to a dinner invitation in a dress
suit. After chatting awhile the COVER
said: Vest, you've been talking about
me-"
The visitor expressed surprise at such
an assertion and denied Its truth
promptly and emphatically.
Reynolds drew out OF his pocket a
memorandum book, evidently kept with
great nicity, ran down the index until
he found west, and opened to the
page indicated. Then he read COM
plete record Of some fiippant remarks
which Vest had made on an occasion
weeks before which the author had en-
tirely forgotten. The record contained
the date, place, witnesses and words of
the conversation. This was too much
for Vest.
Yes" said he, expIosively, ST did say.

"Oh, well" said Reynolds, ,soothingly,
well not say any more about ii /"
The conversation turned upon. other
matters, and before the visit closed Rev
nolds had appointed his visitor one of
Missouri's senators-to the confederate
senate at Richmond. Under those most
trying circumstances, when all about
him were forgetting civilization, Rey-
nolds was always the even-tempered
polished gentleman, Senator Vest says.

In commenting upon this Colman's Ru-
raj World says:
The breeders of trotting horses were
never in better spirits than at the pres
ent time. Those who have used the
best judgement in the selection of their
breeding stock Of course are making
most sales and at highest figures. The
demand is always for the produce OF
winning strains, those that have gone
TO the front, and proved their merits in
actual contests; and such breeders as
have this kind Of stock To sell are max
ing sales at higher prices than ever
known before.
ut is true there may be just as good
stock for sale for which there is not an
active demand, because their merits
have not yet appeared-but the owners
Of such stock or blood, should make

ELEcTRIcIrY.s WORK.
A Shocking Tragedy In y Beautiful Con
cert Pavilion.
MEXICO 1.-TWO Rcpublics."l

Mexico 1.-TWO Republican,
A shocking tragedy occurred on Sunday
night In the Zocalo, where the beaut fuI
concert pavilion has been erected for the
festivities OF All Saints and All Souls
days Ono life was lost and three men
were 50 seriously injured that life in their
case was despeired of. It was a case Of
peculiar interest A man known as Pam
taleon Estrada, q worker In guitars, tying
q stone 20 the end of an ordinary wire
threw it over the electric wire. Estrada
Immediately fell dead In his tracks. The
contact of the two wires killed him. A
policeman standing by and q street-car
conductor had much of their clothing
burned of, and were themselves so seri-
ously injured that their lives tremble in the
balance. The electric current affected
others also more o. less. The scene sue.
ceeding the tragedy was demoralizing.
For a moment the dumb terror of seeing
strong men totter and fall as If struck by
some invisible hand held the crowd SPELL
bound Succeeding the terrorized apathy
came wild rush for life. Fortunately.
exits were plentiful, and to that was due
the fact that many were not stamped to
death.
John Herbert, Of the Electric Light Com
pany, mounted ladder with silk hand
kerchisf in hand to remove the wire
thrown by the unfortunate Estrada. The
rain was falling heavily at the time, but
he did not notice that the handkerchief was
becoming damp. He applied it to the wire
to remove IL, and received himself a severe
shock that threw him from the ladder.
Falling TO the stone pavement his head was
cut open He win recover. however. The
police believe that Estrada represented a
gang Of pickpockets and thieves, and that
his object in throwing the wire was to ex-
tinguish the electric lights and give his
pals a chance to operate Whether that
was 50 or not is not known, for he who could
have told has had his lips burned 10 si-
lencs.

"Did't ye ever ever hear about Jack?

The number craze. You don't know
what that is? You eastern railroaders
don't seem to know much of anything.
Well Jack got 'em, his being the third
case ever heard of. Seven or eight
years ago they took holt of Jack, and
they kept growin' worse. In 1879 1

find the number of the year. Long
about the middle of the summer he
found 1t. Then he was happy. But
New Years day he started hunting for
1880. lie looked all summer and all
fall. Finally cold weather came, and
would you believe it? Jack would sit
out on the top Of the car looking for a
car numbered 1880. Whenever we pass

like wild man. He got so crazy oyer
it that he mighty neer lost his job.
Christmas day he found his car, but
New Years day'he started looking for
1881. You see, he got to believing that
If he didn't find a car numbered the
same as the year before the year was
out he would die before the next Eas-
ter. We couldn't talk it out of him. In
1881 he had good luck, and found the
number early in July. But in 1882 he
had no luck at all, Long the last of
the year he had hunted day and night.
Instead Of going TO bed he would take
his lantern and go up and down the
tracks in the yard looking at the num-
bers of the cars. After Christmas he got
frantic, and we saved him only by TAX
ing an old car and painting the num-
Der over for him on the sly, then steer
ing him around that way to look at it.
The narrow escape frightened him so
that early in 1888 he was as crazy as he
usually was in November. He got so
that he was of no use on the train and
he was fired. Then he spent all his
time going up and down the yards.
