Martin Pacuuet. who murdered Hon

Martin Racquet, who murdered Hon.
James S. Barnes, in New Madrid coun-
ty in 1877, at the late term OF the cir
cult court of that county plead guilty
to murder in the second degree. The
history of this case is that of too many
wearing out of justice through delay
and he escapes with his life from a
murder that seven years ago filled this
section with horror and indignation.
The windings and delays in the case
are thus detailed by the Charleston
Courier: "Pacquet was tried some
years ago and found guilty of murder
in the first degree and the death sent
ence was pronounced upon him. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme Court,
upon writ of error, and that tribunal
granted new trial and remanded the
case back to the circuit court. Several
attempts have since been made to
bring the case to trial, but defendants
attorneys always managed to have
good grounds for continuance until the
present term when the above result
was brought about. Of late years
considerable amount of sympathy for
Pacquet has been manifested by his
New Madrid friends. Pacquet's health
has been failing fast since his incarcer-
alton and no doubt that helped in stop
ping his prosecution for murder in the
first degree"

Vandiver, who lives at the mouth of

Vandiver's house, and aroused the
sleepers, two persons besides Mr.. w.,
and after compelling them at the point
of pistols to dance, and go through nu-
merous other contortions. tied all but

concluded to shell OUT Accordingly
he produced between 81 200 and 81 500
in crisp greenback bills and gold pieces.
After securing this booty the dastardly
ly, and left. On the following morn-
ing the alarm was sounded, and parties
went in pursuit. We are told that Mr..
Jno. Gillespie traced the thieves as far
as Freddie, Butler county. where the
trail was lost. This is the third time
Mr.. Vandiver has fallen victim to
robbers, having lost considerable
amount of money by them some two
or three years ago. 1t is hoped these
last robbers will quickly meet the fate
of the others.

Fredericktown Plaindeuler: 1.-THE
County Clerk has completed the cur
rent tax book for 1885. The total val
uation of real and personal property is
S1,516, 500. The following is the amount
of the levies on same: State tax, Sc,
067..9; county tax, S6,O67.19; road tax,
S1.516.7S; special tax, S3,033.59; total,
SIG, 6s4.75. This is a falling off from
the tax levy of 1854 of the sum of $500.
The valuation of property is SIS, $50 less
than last year. We believe that Mr..
Watts has the credit of completing the
work of levying the taxes earlier than
any clerk i'm Missouri"

If Fredericktown fails to secure the
branch penitentiary, she may console
herself with the reflection that many
intelligent people think it isn't desir-
warned the locators away, and Kansas
City would none of it. Anent this
question the Piedmont Leader says:
"Fredericktown is spending no little
pains and money to secure the branch
penitentiary. All Wayne county asks
of Madison is, if she is unfortunate
enough to secure that coveted institu-
ton, she must keep her convict labor
from off Wayne soil, or there will be
trouble in the camp"

Esq, President of the Cape Girardeau

Maj. J. F. Brooks survey several routes
from the line of his road in Stoddard

with the view of building road to
connect with the Texas & st. Louis

that as soon as a railroad is built from

ton for making haste slowly i'm remov-
ing obnoxious, incapable and dishon-
est partisans from offices which never
should have been held by many of them

out more especially by reason of the

not well posted as to the doings in 9TH
