HON. WALDO P. JOHNSON DEAD.

OsCEOLA, Mo-, Aug 15.-At his old
home in this city yesterday, after few
days illness, Waldo p. johnson of the
city of st. Louis, passed peacefully to
rest. Removing when a young man
from Virginia, where he was born
September 80, 1917, to the county of
St. Clair, he soon gave evidence of the
legal acumen and forensic skill for
which he was afterward noted, and
within twenty years was successively a
member of the legislature, circuit at
torney, circuit Judge and senator in the
congress of the United States, which
last position he vacated to enter the
senate of the confederate states. In
that great struggle he lost everything,
save his energy and integrity. Return
ing home after the war he found him
self penniless and burdened with a
security debt of nearly 100000. For
saking the political field he paid every
cent of that debt before his life work
was ended and left to his family large
estate,
Since the close of the war the only
public act in which he engaged was the
convention OF 1875 that framed the
present constitution of the state, and
OF which he was made president. He
was safe counselor, a loyal friend and
the name of no more incorruptible son
will appear Oh history's pages than that
of Waldo P. johnson. 1t was here that
the first political honor was conferred
upon him; it is here that she who for
forty years bore his name and love is
buried, and to-day, after sixty-eight
years of warfare, the busy brain now
at rest will be laid by her side. His
son, VIM. t johnson, is prominent

A DEPLORABLE DEFLEOTION.
From the n. Y. Heraid.1

The Philadelphia Press is half in
clined to say of Mr.. Curtis. "With all
thy faults love thee STILL" Mr.. Curtis,
our critical contemporary declares, was
guilty of '..deplOrable detection last
year." but his steadfast support of re-
form mitlgates the anathema which it
becomes necessary TO pronounce.
Pray, what was Mr.. Curtis crime?
has believed in it ever since he laid
aside his pinafOre and put on trousers.
He has never believed In anything else.
The republican party got into bad ways
and he left it. 1t was accused of pilfer-
ing from the public treasury, and the
accusation was SO we'll established that
Mr.. Curtis determined TO part company
with it. Was Mr.. Curtis guilty of de-
flectiOn? On the other hand, it was his
party which detected, and SO badly that
tens of thousands of voters were
ashamed of il.
When Mr.. Cleveland was nominated
he made it distinctly understood that if
elected he would conduct the govern
ment as he would conduct his private
business. That was what the country
wanted, and the country believed that
Mr.. Cleveland would redeem his pledg-
es, and do it in spite of whatever OBJ
stacles might arise from whatever
source. Mr.. Curtis was one of the
number who voted for him, and he did
it because he was convinced that Mr..
Cleveland would give the people what
the republicans had practically refused
to give them. Was that "deplorable
defection!" We can only answer that
that kind of detection. so far from be-
ing deplorable, is evidence of honesty
and manly virtue, and constitutes the
highest kind of consistency. The voter
who defects from dishonest practices,
in whatever party they may be found,
shows that he is governed by opinions,
not prejudices.

MR.. KELLEY AND THE AUSTRIAN
GOVERNMENT.
From the N. Y. Herald.l

There is no doubt that any govern
ment may decline to receive as foreign
minister person who is not acceptable
to it, or may ask the recall of such q
one who is already in service. Our own
government has on several occasions
exercised that right. If the Austrian
minister of foreign affairs had been
content to write Secretary Bayard that
il would not be agreeable to the En-
peror to receive Mr.. Kelley, that would
have been painful to MIR. Kelley, but
our government could not have COM
planned.
But it seems the Austrian govern
ment gives as the reason why it will
not receive Mr.. Kelley that Mrs. Kelley
is a Jewess. That is a mere vulgar
brutality. disgraceful to the Emperor
and to the Austrian government. So
far as Mr.. Kelley is concerned, he can
return home uninjured; he and his wife
will deservedly receive the sympathies
of all honorable men. The contempti-
BILE and base intolerance Of the Austrian
government will bring down on it con-
demnatiOn not only here, but all over
the world.
The Austrian court claims to be the
most high bred in Europe. Its course
in this matter shows it to be devoid of
even the smallest elements of good
breeding or good sense.

SHELBY AND HIS RIDERS.
[From the Richmond Conservator.I

From the Richmond COnservator.
Tuesday, the 25th, will witness in the
emerald clasped village of Higginsville
q reunion of the veterans that followed
Shelby's guidons from where the m1r-
Ky waters of the Missouri reflected
back the flashing of Mulligan's guns to
the flower jeweled prairies of the Rio
Grande. Shelby will be there, and
Cockrell, and Marmadnke, and Gates,
and Bohannon, and Edwards, and
Cundiff, and Dick Collins, and hosts OF
others, heroes of a hundred daring
deeds, upon whose brows the lilies OF
time are slowly blooming. 1t is well
that such men should assemble in social
reunion. Their tattered flags are furl-
ed, their bugles blow no more on en-
purpled field; history has pantheOnized
now with peace lavishing its bOunteous
gifts from the cornucopia of plenty, as
private citizens, they will meet with
thousands of their friends and among
them many that followed the starry
baldric of the Union, who had met
Shelby and his rough riders often amid
the crash of battle, and when he COW
cred Prices retreat as he sullenly fell
back from Westport to the Ozarks.
Ray will be represented. Men that
responded to the bugle's call in the
early sixties, now in the eighties, will
let their plows rest for at least one day,
and with wife and children cross over
the river and warmly clasp the hand OF
| comrade and of friend, speak Of the
past, of those who bivOuaced on fame
eternal camping ground, who never
came back to waiting ones, who sealed
their valor with their blood, and OF
others who have since then fallen with
harness on, blessed by the presence OF
relatives and friends. The reunion al
Higginsville will be an event that must
linger long in pleasant memories, for
nothing will be left undone by the
chivalrous, iron.hearted people OF his
toric Lafayette to make it day mem
orable in its annals.

THE NORMAL INSTITUTE

Was held at Odessa, beginning Tues
day, Aug. 4, and closing Friday, Aug.
IA. There were enrolled altogether
about eighty teachers. This was fair
attendance: about one half of the teach.
ers of the county. The veterans in the
service were, Messrs Cunningham and
Lee, of Odessa; Swearingen, of Aull-
vile, and Catron and Quarles, of Lex
ington. Capt. VIM. F. Bahlmann, of
the Warrensburg Normal, was present
two days, as the substitute of President
Osborne and did very acceptable work.
The younger teachers were enthusiast
cally in earnest. They seemed not only
willing but anxious to learn. Many of
them were quite intelligent. The wo-
men exceeded the men in number about
two to one; and, what may have sur
prised some, surpassed them in the
quickness and accuracy of their work.
This was noticeabiy so in the arithme-
tical examples. This is no small COM
phment when it is known that such in
telligent scholars and such excellent
teachers as Messrs. Ragland, Ham
mond, Cook, Ferrell and Chinn were
present; .a-.
The work was under the superinten-
dence of Prof. w. NJ. Beach, A. M,
the new principal Of the Odessa In
| stitute. This gentleman is recent ad-
dition to our teaching force. 1t may
be safely said that every one who at
| tended the Normal, went away with a
favorable impression of Mr.. Beach as a
scholar and wide-awake teacher.
Prof. Catron, our excellent and pop
ular commissioner, gave an examina-
ton Thursday, Aug. Is. Some six or
eight availed themselves of this oppor-
tunity.
The meeting was as profitable as,
under. the circumstances, could have
been expected. We were all too mex
perienced in the work, and the time
was too short to accomplish much
Next year we must give at least four
weeks to the Institute experienced and

arranged into classes, a programme fol

and strict discipline enforced; and fin

To review the primary or distric

REPAIRING TIN ROOFS.

A correspondent communicates to
the American Artisan his method of
finding and mcnding the leaky places
i'll painted tin roofs, which seems very
practical. "My wav Is TO start at the
bottom OF the root, with 4 piece of
chalk in one hand and q thin knife in
the other. | examine the seams in one
tier of sheets, and Il find place that
looks as if it might leak, try il with
the knife, and if it requires soldering, l
mark the place with chalk. In this way
go over each tier of sheets, and look
at every inch of the seams.
Of course, it is no little labor 10 go
over roof i'll this way. 1t often takes
considerable trouble to get on to a rou!;
but the workman who hesitates abou,
doing this work thoroughly belongs to
the same class as the 'other fellow who
was on the roof before and did not stop
the leaks.
The tools to be used other than the
regular soldering tools are Il hoe shaped
scraper, which can be made out of an
old file, and a piece of grindstone to
sharpen the scraper with, so as always
to nave sharp cutting edge. Alter
having scraped clean number of
leaks, tin the places by using ordinary
soldering acid, SO that every scratch
made in the tin will be well timed, and
not left to rust through. Then ipe Off
the acid with wet cloth. The leaky
seam is now as bright and clean to
solder with the use of rosin as when
the roof was new.
The reason tor using rOsin instead of
acid to solder with, is on account of the
curious way solder has of acting when
acid is nsed. With rOsin tho solder can
be piled on very evenly, AID II the
scraper is only as wide as the space on
which solder is required on each side
of the crack in the seam, then all the
soldered places will present an even
and orderly appearance.
The objection to this way of repair
ing roof is that the unequal expansion
and contraction is apt to break open
the solder. have noticed on old roofs
where the solder has been piled over a
nail head, that the nail had worked up
through the solder so it could be pulled
out with the fingers. To overcome this
difficulty, cut some pieces of tin, say
| three quarters of an inch wide, and
give them Sigh bend in the locker,
so the edges will not be apt to spring
III soldering. These pieces are to be
cut to proper lengths and soldered over
the cracks, and rs very little solder is
required they expand and contract the
same as the roof, and consequently will
| not crack of.
Another way to repair a roof, is to
cut some pieces Of cloth, three-quarters
of an inch wide, and run them through
thick paint, which can be done by
soldering wire OH the bottom of the
paint dish before the paint is put in !;
putting the strip of cloth through the
wire loop and pulling it throug gh the
paint, cutting off the desired lengths
with pair of shears. The seam in the
root should first be painted, then the
strip OF cloth can be made to lie down
nicely by the use of a small fiat paint
brush. have made at the rate of three
dollars per hundred patches repairing
roofs in this way"

patents to the Northern Pacific railroad
pending a decision fixing the legal
