The strongest evidence against Hurley and
Carroll was a nickle found in their posses
sion, which was so marked that several per-
sons In Mayview could testify to it. Evident
ly they will never hereafter like that denomi-

Fun on the Bristol, ;" as played by E. D
Tannehill's Comedy Co., at the Opera House
Friday night of last week, was immense
The entire audience was convulsed with
laughter nearly the entire time, every char.
acter being well sustained. but Miss St.
George Hussey as the Widow O'Brien was
just 'too-too'
There was q very pleasant social gathering
at Col. NJ. ". L. McClelland's, last Tuesday
night, the principal feature Of which was
some music by Miss Josephine Hogs. Miss
Hoogs was in excellent voice, and charmed
everyone, not only with her singing, but with
her accommodating spirit, and pleasant man
ners. Musicians are 80 often crotchety, that
it becomes a refreshing treat to find one who
has all the graces with none of the airs-alrs
IN this sense not be understood as tunes.
The amount to be expended for the Central
College Library is $500. The young ladies
Of the college and their friends raised $3.50,
and Rev. W. B. Palmore, of Springfield,
Mo-, has added as much more. Mr.. Palmore
is the gentleman who gave the first 81, 900 of
the SIS 900 for the new Central College build
ing. 1t Is to be hoped that the friends Of the
college will take hold of the library fund IS
they did of the building fund, and make it
what it should be in such an institution.
The state grange met in the grange hall,
over the grange store, at Higginsville, on
Tuesday the Goth inst, at 10 a. m. w. NJ,
John NJ. Sneed, called the grange to order.
The W. NJ. filled the vacancies occasioned by
absentees, and the W. secretary selected Abb
ner 8. Smith as assistant. and the 18th annual
State Grange of Missouri, was organized for
business. There were about forty counties
represented. The meeting was very har-
monious and pleasant, but being principally
in secret little can be reported
Higginsyille Post:-''The Advance is well
come to get I'D all the homemade specials
it pleases, but when it copies from the Post
we trust it will be courteous enough to give
proper credit. The article IN its last issue
about the Millers' Convention Is taken bodily
from the POST" This reminds US of the news
article regarding the proceedings Of the coun-
ty court, which we prepare monthly. aud
which the Post takes bodily from the Intel
ligencer, and which, even after its attention
is called to the matter, it declines to be cour-
teous enough to properly credit.

In order to accommodate the country MEM
bers and to keep the congregation together,
last Sunday, the ladies of the Christian
church served q cold dinner in the basement
Of the church. Beside the immedi ate men,
bers of that church, the ministers and men,
bers of other churches were invited to be
present. The dinner was a most excellent
ole, the bill of fare being as varied AS the
tastes of the many persons who contributed to
it. The attendance was very large, but there
was an abundance for all. The tables were
waited upon by The ladies, who left no want
unsupplled, and who were especially polite
and attentive to the invited guests. Supper
was also served before the evening service.
Mr.. Charles Bergman, an old citizen OF
Concordia, a druggist, aged 63 years, who has
always heretofore borne an excellent reputa-
ton in all the relations of life, has been placed
in Jail here on a warrant charging him with
attempted rape on the daughter of Mr.. Henry
~Koppenbrink, aged 10 years, and upon the
daughter Of Mr.. Jacob Walkenhorst, aged !:
{ years. 1t seems almost incredible that such
aISasn should have committed so heinous a
/, crime. He denies the charges most strenu.
ously, and says there must either be some
terrible mistake or a ~blackhearted attempt tC
break him down or blackmail him. The evi
dence alone can determine the facts; and in
the mean time, in the interest of a common
humanity, let us hope that there is some mis-
take about the matter.
