Higginsville Post .-"Lexington can lay
claim to one first-class hotel at least. The
Commercial fills the bill in every particular,
and the genial and popular proprietor, Lewis
Neale, knows how to feed his guests and
make them comfortable"
The complaint is being again heard that
young white children cannot be seen on the
colored boys and women. The pesceable
colored folks owe it to themselves to have
this nonsense stopped. as 1t is q reflection on
the whole race. and will surely lead to
trouble.
Higginsville Advance:-"A discussion is
going OH at present in the I~ntelligencer. be-
tween that paper and F. T., as to the words
~nirvana and heaven. F. T. contends that the
two words are synonymous, and the Intelli-
gencer has taken upon Itself to prove that
they are not. While we do not want to de-
eide between the two, we do say that the
discussion is quite an interesting one."
Elder NJ. NJ. Davis, of Butler, No., will
assist Elder Swartz In holding q protracted
meeting at the Christian church In this city,
commencing the second Sunday In November.
Elder Lucas, who Is we'll acquainted with
Elder Davis, says he is a fine speaker M Q
good worker. When Elder Lucas left here,
two years ago, he tried to secure the SER
vices of Elder Davis for this congregation,
thinking that he would prove to be just the
man for the place. This endorsement Of
Elder Davis cannot fail to firmly establish
him In the affections of the congregation
here. We welcome him, and wish for him
%uubounded success.
The case Of Elijah Jones, charged with cut
tiAe, AoOS iuSSoi sot AikSluStliIC, lhSt APTlIp
Was tried In the criminal court last Tuesday
afternoon. Deputy Sheriff Jackson, who
brought Jones from Lawrence, Kansas, on q
requlsition, testified that Jones told him
that after he did the cutting he ran out to the
bri:Eysrd, and then doubled on his track,
giving his pursuers the slip, and jumped into
a hollow and lay dow in the mud aud water.
entirely 'Oncealing his whole body except o
small part of his face. At night he went
home, got a new suit of clothing, and he and
his brother lett for Kansas. He consented
to come back with the officer, but just at train
time chasged his mind, and the officer had to
come home and get a requlsItiOn While the
officer was getting a requisition, the father of
Jones was trying TO get him out of Jail on q
writ of habeas corpus. The old man was a
witness for the defense, but he turned out to
be a good witness for the state. 1t was sur
prising to hear the number of witnesses who
did not see the cutting.
There was an informal meeting Of the may
or and five members of the council, last FRI
day night, to hear a speech from Mr.. N. C.
Irwin, agent for the Sperry Electric Light,
MOTOR and Car Brake company. Mir. Irwin
asked the coucil TO pass an ordinance similar
to the ones passed. at Carrollton, Chillicothe,
Moberly, and other cities of that class, and
read the ordinance for the information of
those present. He asked the privilege of
erecting poles. stretching wires. and other
wise establishing q plant. He did not ask ex-
elusive franchise for any length of time. The
matter was discussed some what, and then

ed meeting of the council (Which was last
nighf), and the city register instructed to
write to the mayors Of CarrOlIton .Chillicothe,
Moberly, Maryville, and Ottumwa, Iowa,
asking them about the working Of the Light
company, and its general standing, and for
all other information they could give. 1t
seems to be the general sentiment of the coun-
Gil that the offer is q good one if made in
earnest, but they are a little afraid that it is q
scheme to get a franchise, and then sell out
to the gas company. They propose to have q
guarantee that nothing of this sort IS contem-
plated in the matter. 1t is no part of the duty
of the council to protect the gas company from
fair and honest competition; neither should
the council recklessly throw open the door
for imposition upon that company.
We have re ceived from a friend at Corder
the following account of the murder there
o last Friday evening, just after the mail
train had gone west, or about 7:l5 o'clock.
two pistol shots were heard in rapid success
sion, ut or near the American hotel. 1t was
found that a man belonging to 81 extra gang
of work hands on the railroad at this place,
had shot and m~ortally wounded q miner by
the name of Y. Muller, both parties boarding
at the hotel. II seems they had some trouble
early in the evening but others interfering it
was supposed the trouble was settled, but It
seems that Len Fogle. the man who did the
shooting, went over in town and purchased q
revolver, returned to the hotel, walked up to
Muller, who was on the porch in front of the
hotel, and shot twice. one ball entering his
head back Of his ear, passing through the
back of his head. The other entering his
back. above the hip. Drs. Martin and Car
thrae were sent for, Immediately, and did all
in their power for the wounded man, but he
only lived until p. m. Saturday, when he
died. Mr. Muller was a native of GERMANY
and had been here but q short time. He
leaves a father and mother, brothers and sis
tiers IN Germany to mourn his untimely
death. FOgel disappeared as soon as he did
the shooting, and has not been found, neither
can any clew as to his whereabout, be obtain
ed. Muller was buried at the cemetery,
near town, on Sunday afternoon" Another
friend sends the following account: Lien
