More Ways Than One.

Our young friends, J. W. Plunkett
and Charley Murray, took their wives
with them to Moberly when they at
tended the Select Knights conclave
Tuesday. Charley and Pomp thought
they would fix it up Sc they could
get out early in the morning and get
something to sharpen their teeth
with before breakfast. So they put
their wives together in one room and
they took another. As is always the
case, the women folks were too smart
for them. They took their bed cord
off and tied the boys door shut and
when they tried to step out in the
morning they found they were locked
in like rats in a trap. Not to be out
done they took their own bed cord of
and made a fire escape Of it. They
went down from the third story win.
dow just as though the house was on
fire, only faster. In the morning
the ladies waited till they thought
they had had fun enough and they
unlocked the door and opened il
expecting to have the laugh On the
boys, but the room was empty and
on going down stairs found them
eating breakfast. The ladies are in.
cllned to think Pomp and Charley
did not 60 to bed at all but were out
| all night on a red whiz.

PORK POINTS.
A Louisville Firm Wants all the Porl
In Audrain County.

A letter has been received from
Louisville KY, making inquiry in
regard to the facilities for packing
pork in this city. The firm is one
of the largest in the country and
wants all the pork in Audrain coun.
ty. At the present low price il
hardly pays the farmer to ship his
hogs, and as the Kentucky firm offers
inducements that will repay him, he
had best make a note Of this fact
and govern himself accordingly.
Although the subject has been
worn threadbare by the newspapers
of this city, Mexico is much in need
of a large pork factory. True, pori
is packed at this city every year,
and much credit is due to the mer
who have had the enterprise in hand
but it is has not been done on a scale
large enough to supply home con
sumption. The business and enter.
prise of the city demands something
larger than this-more liberal in
vestment 10 a bnsniess, that, oncs
established, is almost certain to b.
q success. Now that we have cleo
trio light and water works. let /.
move be taken to establish a large
pork factory.

Burglars Captured.

Saturday morning while Mr.. and
Mrs. John Standiford, who live just
east of this city, were out in the field
gathering corn, their house was en-
tered by burglars and a number of
household articles stolen, including
two or three pieces of jewelry, a pair
of shoes, &c. Suspicion rested on
two young men, supposed to be
tramps, who were seen near the prem
ises during the day, and who were
afterwards seen going in the direction
of Rush Hill. When Mi. and Mrs.
Standiford came in to dinner they
found that their house had been bur-
glarized, and Immediately set about
to catch the thieves. They were heard
of at Rush Hill, and about 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon captured at the res
idence of Tom Robnett's, between
Rush Hill and Laddonia. They were
brought to Rush Hill and taken be.
fore Justice Doolin. They gave thsi,
names as James Blackmore and james
Richards, and pleaded guilty to thu
charges against them. In default o.
$500 bail they we're brought to thu
city Saturday night and lodged il
jail. Neither of them is over 20 year
of age.

STOOD H TEST.
Unanimously Accepted-Moberly Water
Works Completed and Perfect.

E-JJor Emmons, Councilman Tur-
ner, Engineer Rodgers, and Fire
Chief White went to Moberly Tues
day to witness the test Of the water
works just completed by the same
company that is building works for
Mexico. The test was perfectly sat-
isfactory to all who saw It. Six
streams were started at a pressure Of
100 pounds, which was gradually in
creased to 1876 pounds, minutes being
kept at the company's offices of the
variation Of pressure and ITS effect
on the streams. The whole number
appeared to attain the same altitude
when thrown vertically, and to reach
the same distance when held at an
angle Of forty-fve with the surface.
The height was variously estimated,
IS feet being the lowest and 100 feet
the highest. Water was forced into
the pipes at the rate of 1850 gallons
per minute, making 175 gallons for
each nozzle per minute. The last
test was made on corner of Carpenter
and Fifth streets through $50 feet OF
hose, throwing 125 feet horizontal
and IS feet high. In the extreme
outside limits of the system two
streams were thrown through 1000
feet of hose 1875 feet actual measure
ment at the same time, equivalent to
a heighth Of 80 or IS feet.
The people of Moberly are not
only pleased with the water-works
but delighted, and the council of that
city and all others who have had bus.
mess with the company speak in the
highest terms of each individual
member and say that they r not
only men who do what they agree but
more.
About 8 O'Clock An elegant lunch
was served at the Grand Central
Hotel, which was attended by the
leading business men of Moberly and
invited guests. G. S. Masten was the
host and right royalty does lie enter
tain. Neat toasts and appropriate
responses were made and general
congratulations made on the success
Of Moberly's last enterprise. Boil
White responded to the toast, "Mex
leo, our beautiful sister city" Boil
eats better than he talks on an occa
sion of this kind. Moberly is
daisy town with gas, electricity
sewerage and water, but Mexico il
right after her.

SeTenteenth Anniversary Of the
Order-Fifth Biennial Conclaye
OF Select Knights.

The Fifth Biennial Conclave of the
Select Knights of the A. o. U. w
assembled at Moberly, commencing Tues.
day, the 9th, and continuing W O,
three days. The Grand Lodge of the
Ancient Order of United Smer
also held their seventeenth ami s.sary
at the same time and place. A SQUAD O,
the Knights of the Lodge of this cit,
have been drilling for several weeks pas,
and attended the conclave.
The growth of this organization in
Missouri has been phenomenal. Since its
nrst Introduction it has struck the key
note in the great heart Of the American
people and to-day is one Of the largest
benevolent Organizations in the state.
Thu peculiar merits of the constitution is
one OF the causes of its great popularity.
1t allows a state with a membership of
over 1000 to form o separate jurisdiction,
states with a less number belonging to
what Is called the Supreme Jurisdiction.
Missouri has a membership of over l6, 900.
Nebraska not having the required 1000
and being so remote from the Supreme
Jurisdiction, was taken in by Missouri
and is now under the government OF this
state. The Order paid out last year
about $4,000 for benevolent purposes,
all received by widows and children of
deceased members. The members of the
organization represent the best elements
of social and business life, as well as the
highest types of physical manhood, and
it has gained a degree in military excel
lence superior to all organizations Of a
similar character.
Miss Mary READ has just completed
for the Knights of this city a handsome
banner. On on side of the banner is

COL A
He Appears Before the Council In Be.
half OF Mr.. Bedell.

Before the regular business of the
council begun Monday night, Col. G.
Clay was allowed q few moments talk
in behalf Of VIM. Bedell, who is now
confined in jail in default of payment
of his fine for selling liquor without
license. Col. Clay stated that he had
heard Bedell's story, and was some
what interested in his behalf. He
had nothing to say in extenuation Of
the charge against him - what he
wanted was mercy. The Col. said
that Bedell was In bad health, and not
being able to work on the rock-pile,
his incarceration was telling on him
that he was deprived of home COM
forts and his family needed his as
%sistance. Col. Clay stated that Be-
dell had no money to pay his fine,
but il the Mayor and council would
make a reasonable reduction, he
would assist him in paying it.
Bedell is penitent, he said, and If the
authorities grant him clemency, he
promises to give them NO more
trouble.
Alderman Turner: 7 think the
council would be willing to enter
tain any proposition of Mi. Bedell's
towards paying off his fine. His fine
is 1915, one half of which goes to
the informant. The city cannot at
ford to lose money on VIM. Bsdell.
Howell: I think this matter
ought to be considered in executive
session.
The City Attorney thought the
council had no jurisdiction in the
case whatever. The Mayor, Record
er, City Attorney and Marshal were
the only persons who had it in their
power to remit the fine or any part
of it.
In conversation with the proper
officials to-day they stated that it
was out of the question to talk OF
Mr.. Bedell's fine being remitted-
or any part of it for that matter.

Fine Farm.

We had the pleasure this week Of
visiting Harper & Turner'S ine stock
farm just southwest of Mexico.
These gentlemen believe in raising
fine stock and in taking care Of them.
They have just added TO their fine
herd some Thoroughbred cattle from
Anderson's herd Of Kentucky. They
have large barns to keep them in
through the winter. Without doubt
this is one of the best farms and the
best stocked and best managed in
the country. Every farmer in the
county should and could raise good
stock as easy as poor, and for LEST
feed.
