"When and where did you conduct
yourself as alleged in the CIRCULAR"
"It was in 1879, before 1 became a
regular lecturer, when in Moberly
with a friend I drank to intoxicatlon.
While intoxicated, the circular states,
l committed various acts of impru-
dence, which is not true. The fact,
however, that l became ''tight," is
true. But that occurred seven years
ago, and here they are, continually
raking it up against me but as a rule,

over a mountain road near the haunt of

farmer who had never seen a 'tally-ho''
before. They passed the compliments of
the day, and then the farmers curiosity
caused him to ask: what do you do with
that kind of a wagginw "Oh, l use it to

the Colonel's response. ID it pay your

Queer Rites and Ceremonies Adopted by

Queer Rites and Ceremonies Adopted by
the Inmates of q Western Monastery.
from a Sermon by Rev. J. a. Ihomas.I
About twelve miles from Dubuque, La,
upon q blackened, desolate prairie, there
is q lovely monastery of the most solemn
of the old Roman sects- Every morning
at two o'clock tho monks arise. This we
may not look upon as SO great a hardship
when we are told that their only bed is Q
hard plank. Then they pray for seven
hours in wooden stalls that are so con-
structed that they will not permit Of their
reclining, but which compel them either to
stand or kneel the entire time. Their
prayers completed, their next duty is for
zach to 20 into the yard and dig O part OF
his own grave, and when they have it once
completed they Eli 1t up again and repeat
the operation indefinitely throughout
their lives. They are not permitted to
speak to each other except by special dis
pensation, which is very rarely given ex-
cept at the close of each meal, when each
says to the other: "Memento mori"-re-
member that you are to die. Their food is
of the very poorest. So they 60 on year
after rear until they die, when they are
placed in their graves, dug by their own
hands. No headstone with their name
marks THAR last resting place. Only the
name they have adopted when entering
the monastery is placed above them: AL
else Is omitted

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
An Audrain Man Arrested In Illinois
For Murder, but Subsequently
Released.

Sometime ago q man named Jacob
Young was murdered in Rails county,
by a man named Winsell, who escap-
ed. On Saturday last, Prosecuting
Attorney W~hitecotton, of Rails, re-
ceived the necessary papers to pro-
cure a man supposed to be Winsell,
who had been arrested and placed in
the Carrollton, ILL.,, Jail. The prose-
cutting attorney arrived in Carrollton
Monday at a. NJ, and, accompanied
by the officers, proceeded to the Jail
to identify the man under arrest for
the murder. Mr.. WhitecottOn having
known Winsell there was no trouble
anticipated in identifying his man.
When the iron doors swung open and
the officers stepped into the jail, the
prisoner was brought out. The
prosecuting attorney looked at the
man but a moment, for he saw at
once that he was not Winsell, and
stepping aside he told Detective Wal
lace and Sheriff Morrow that the
wrong mar bad been arrested. He
talked with the prisoner for some
time, and found that his name was
Robert L. Rigg, a young man who
had come from this county. Being
satisfied of this fact, the prisoner
was then told he would be released.
He accompanied Mr.. Whitecotton as
far as Bowling Green, where he took
the train for his home. Rigg lives
in the Southeastern part of this
county with his parents, and bears q
good reputation. His fathers name
is Samuel P. Rigg.

"TO BE OR NOT TO BE-"
MexicO's Insurance Business.

The City Council a few days since,
passed an ordinance raising the Ii
cense of insurance companies from
SO to 500 per year. The Council
passed this ordinance knowing that
the insurance companies were bene-
fitted more than anyone else by the
Fire Company and Water-works, and
thinking they would be willing to
assist other taxpayers in paying for
the same.
It appears from interviews with
leading agents in Mexico that the
various insurance companies, which
are pooled will not only refuse to
pay 500 per year, but will shut down
on the SO they have paid heretofore.
There are SO companies doing busi-
ness in Mexico, and if one-half of
them would pull out there would be
plenty left, but from what we can
learn, they work in harmony. When
the license in Moberly was raised
from $40 to $50 the companies gave
the city 80 days to reseind the ordi-
nance or they would pull out. The
city rescinded the ordinance. The
companies claim that they are not
compelled to pay license in Mexico
unless they feel like it. Mexico is OPP
porating under a special charter, and
we beg leave to call attention to Sec
ton 4, PARTICLE g., of charter as fol-
lows:
Sec. 4. The said City Council shall
have power to levy and collect a IL
cense tax on auctioneers, insurance
companies, merchants, grocers, con-
fectioners. taverns, hotels, restau-
rants, hawkers, peddlers, brokers,
banks, ball and ten-pin alleys, bill
lizards, hacks, drays, wagons, carria-
ges, and other vehicles used for hire
or reward in said corporation limits
of said city; organ grinders. street
singers, and to regulate their charges
and conduct.
Also to sections 46 end AZ, chapter
Is of the ordinances as follows
Sec. 46. That every insurance
company, whether life or fire, who
shall insure or offer to insure, by its
agents or otherwise, the lives or
property of persons 10 this city, shall
pay a license tax of ten dollars for
city purposes for every period of
twelve months, or fractional part
thereof, that said company may do
business in the city.
Sec. At. Every person acting as
the agent of any insurance company
or insuring or offering to insure the
life Or property of any person in any
but a company licensed as provided
for in the preceding section, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and, upon conviction, fined ten dol
lars for every such offense.
The City Council is doing in th,s
matter just what they think is pro-
per and right, In view of relations
existing between the citizens of Mex
leo and the insurance companies
doing business here.
