A Pointer for Kirksyille.

Mr. H. III. Dewey, the general
agent for the loan department of
the Phoenix Mutual Life Ins. Co.,
for this part of the state, informs us
that Krksville, is the only town
in w,aich his company will
make loans on city pro-
perty. No class of men are so
well posted on the present and
prospective values Of property as
loan companies. When a company
that has the wealth and standing
of the Phoenix Mutual selects a
town in which to loan money, on
city property, we may rest assured
that there are good reasons fol
belle wing it to be the coming in,
land town of the state.

Gladstone's Work.

The vote in Parliament on Glad
stones Home rule measure repre-
sents too strong an element to 90
to pieces suddenly as the result of
defeat in the first test made.
While all the members of the
Commons were not present upon
this occasion, the number voting
for the measure repsent forty-six
per cent of the whole strength of
the body, whereas the "Parnell-
ites' alone form but thirteen per
cent of the membership. 1t is
probable that there are other
members, convinced more or less
of the propriety of more leniency
to Ireland, or anxious to be reliev-
ed of the never ending troubles
with that country, who still vote
against the principle of Homerule
though pride in the greatness of
the Empire. From this class the
Home-rule cause may expect, as
it's principle or its details are
more fully developed, to draw re-
cruits until a majority is reached.
Considering the brief time in
which Home-rule has been discus
sed seriously by others than the
''Parnellities," and the further fact
that the designs of the Govern
ment are as yet but imperfectly
unfolded, the strength gained al
ready is remarkable. It cannot
be lost sight of that at the bottom
OF the course now championed by
Mr.. Gladstone is involved the
same demand for justice for Irish
men that led to the revolt of the
American colonies in 1776. Justice
cannot forever be obscured, and
the idea of a peaceable solution Of
the Irish trouble cannot fail to
commend itself to the British pub
lie in preference to blood-shed.
Mr.. Gladstone may not live to see
the fruition of his hopes, but he
may at least hope reasonably to
have his namein history connect
ed with a successful undertaking
of which the result is to be Justice
to millions of people.

Friday, June Is, 1856.
Political bubbles are like soap
bubbles, they burst when you
punch them.
The silver dollar has at
tanned a circulation of $50, 900, 900,
the largest amount ever in use in
the United States.
II takes but thirty minutes
to communicate with Washington
by telegraph and message of
ten words costs only seyenty-five
cents.
Newspaper puffs come high,
but congressman who feel that
there is a strong probability OF
getting left at the next election
must have them.
1t was amusing to have a
half dozen men run to US with the
Post Despatch" early Saturday
morning, to show us a telegram,
which we were positive would be
found, at latest, in Saturdays after
noon paper.
The labor controversy has
brought to public notice staunch,
able, honest man in the person of
Mr.. Powderly, and the working men
of the country should be proud
of him.
After the lower house has
spent much time in discussing
oleomargarine the senate threatens
another waste of time and words
and money of the same kind. The
infiction would be far less serious
if every member who can not de-
tect a ball of oleomargarine from
one of genuine butter, were barred
from the discussion.
The new postmaster at
Milan is having trouble. It is
claimed that he throws the mail of
the G. A. r. into the street. But
the charges are not substantiated
and the parties making the accu-
sation will probably get into m@e
serious trouble than the post-
master.
Friday morning it ceased
to be question of when shall the
appointment for the Kirksyille
post Office be sent to the Senate
and the absorbing thought became,
can it be done to-day? It must
be done to-day was the decision
or the 9th Judicial Circuit will be
lost.
The gentleman whose hu-
morous verses in the Boston
Courier make thousands laugh

He is native of Scotland, about

are among the most numerous

1t has been told that certa in
prominent republicans in this
county were supporting and would
continue to support the present
incumbent for the office of Circui
Judge in the present campaign.
The parties SO represented, have
been seen and they denounce
it as malicious fase.hood,

support a straigh out demo 'crat,

During the rain storm last Sat
urday afternoon the residence of
Rev. W. E. Chambliss was struck
by lightning. The electric fluid
entered at one of the dinningroom
windows, tearing off the shutter.
From the dining room it skipped
to the kitchen, shocking Mrs.
Chambliss and knocking over lit
tie daughter, who was in this
room with her mother, and for a
moment converting a gasoline
stove into a huge electric light. 1t
then left the building by the door
as unceremoniously as it had en-
tered at the window, slightly dam
aging some of the wood work near
the floor. Fortunately no serious
damage was done and none of the
family were seriously injured.

NJ. Fl. Beeman's little boy was
severely bitten by dog belonging
to Al. Mum last Saturday after
noon The father who was at work
in his shop near by heard the
screams Of his boy, and rushing to
his rescue, drove the dog away.
The boy was taken home and a
messenger was dispatched for the
marshall to come and kill the dog.
In the meantime a large crowd of
men and boys gathered about to
witness the execution. The deputy
marshall appeared on the scene
and with his pop" drew a bead
at the 'purp' and fred. The ball
grazed the dogs neck, who becom-
ing aroused to the situation sprang
into the crowd of men and boys,
thus preventing the marshall
making another shot, and made
good his escape. The dog is not a
vicious one, but the boys had been
teasing him till he became angry.

citizens of Knox County, Was
drowned in the Miss, near Daven-
