irving at that point a crowd called on the
engineer and fireman to leave their posts,
which they did. The mob here soon be-
came 80 dense that il Yves deemed advis-
able to clear the yards and summon the
police. Soon q force OF $50. commanded
by the Chief of Police and his captains,
arrived at the scene. The crowd was
then ordered to dispense, and upon refus-
ing to do 80 the police made q charge on
them, hoping TO drive them away without
using clubs. The latter alternative, how
ever, became necessary. During the
struggle which ensued several strikers
were badly beaten by the police, some OF
whom were in turn badly bruised from the
rocks thrown by the mob. After q brief
fight the crowd was dispersed and driven
from the yards. Another engine was then
procured. which. after being coupled to
the abandoned freight, drew it from the
scene OF the riot under q guard of about
so policemen, who accompanied it as far
as the city limits, no interference being
met with. Just after it had gotten away,
carrying . large portion Of the police
force the mob, numbering about 5000
men, made a rush for the machine shops
Of the Missouri Pacific to take possession
OF them. The courage of the majority Of
them failed, and only about 40 Of them
proceeded halfway. and they loon aban-

OORDER.

The roads are almost impa ssable;
but the weather is favorable to wheat.
The farmers can do nothing but
feed, and dislike to do that.
What in the world is the matter with
teacher and trainer? Brothers must
not tall out and fight.
We notice some have announced
themselves as candidates; we suppose
those in power are waiting to see how
many they will have to fight.
l think most of the farmers were in
too big a hurry about selling their
corn; from present prospects it will be
worth from thirty to forty cents per
bushel in a short time.
We did not know "W. G. NJ" was
a poet. The memory of the 'Old
Oaken Bucket" seems to have inspired
a forcible proof of the controlling in
fiuence of early impressions.
Died, March 5, Julia VI. Tabb, wife

son county is several thousand dollars
ahead of her older and richer sister,
Lafayette county. The school question
at once solves the problem. From this
township, (FreedOm) alone, johnson
county has drawn away more than
81, 900 in cash, besides some good fam
lilies. Even the country school district OF
the ''Hoop- pole" county has passed the
age of monthly mails, emi-mOnthly
preaching, and six months schools.
One of the poorest districts of john
son county ran eight months of school
in the year while Ebenezer, one of the
richest districts struggles along with
only six months of school. Population
and wealth will center with good pub
lie schools. All districts of Lafayette
county, am proud to say, are not in
the back ground. One district, learn,
near Napoleon, has ten months of
school in the year, paying the teacher
$40 per month is winter, and $50 per
month during the summer term. Six
and one-half mills is the levy of that
good district. Ebenezer with all its
wealth and number of children ready
for school, has onlyfour mills, and it can
not be expected that this small levy will
run good winter and spring school.
For years Lexington has been the
Athens of Lafayette county. Not only
this, but it possesses the best educational
facilities of any town in Missouri, out
side of the professional schools. Her
public schools and academies have
drawn, for years, pupils from the best
families over this and other states.
No one need tell Lexington people that
| good schools make good towns and re-
fined society. Take her schools away
and she would stand only as a monu-
ment of departed glory on the banks
of the Missouri. The schools of Lex

WAVERLY.

What are the wild waves saying
That old Waverly made an abortive
effort to suicide to-day.
By some misunderstanding among
the railroad men, combined with a
small dose of neglect, she failed TO send
her delegates to the bridgemeeting at
Chicago. But her locality in the agri-
cultural Eden of Missouri, adamantine
river-bed her bee-line gratuitous right
of way; her cOntiguity to some of the
richest coal fields in the state; and the
shortness of route over all others lust
224 inches will save her.
That her hands and hearts are ever
open to contribution, and the like
should not occur again.
That you must not feel envious, for
"canst thou bind the sweet influence of
the Pleiades, or burst the holy bonds of
uniOnI"
Automatic truths are incontroverta.
BILE.
That you did not mention Hon. E,
NJ. Edwards among your candidates
for representative. That he is all old
slayer and will be the man to lead us,
not only through the next general as
sembly, but over the c., B. & O.
bridge as well. "The steed that knows
his rider has nothing to fear"
That the wheat looks fine in this
vicinity, and an abundant yield is look
ed for.
That we have an "open sea- at last,

That wild ducks are plentiful, and
our hunters begin to assemble al the
lakes every morning.
That wild flowers peeping through

FERGUSON SCHOOL HOUSE.

We recently attended the close of a
very successful school, taught at this
place, by Miss Lizzie Webb. The
forenoon exercises consisted of pub
lie, (oral,) examinations, and to the
credit of both teacher aud pupils, were
good. At noon bountiful dinner was
spread to the school, and the many
friends and patrons that were present,
notwithstanding the muddy roads.
Among others who waited upon the
table were to be seen the pleasant
smiles and fun making remarks heard
Of Mrs. P. A. Ferguson and Mrs. fl.
Mccormack, which added much to the
interest of those who were partaking
of the chicken and pig, as well as the
pie and the cake. After these rarities
had been enjoyed to the satisfaction of
each person, the table was cleared
away, more having to be put back into
the baskets than had been eaten. Such
is the generosity of our friends here
The bell was rung and the evening de-
voted to rhetorical exercises. The
essays were as follows: "Cheerful-
ness" by Miss Carrie Ferguson
"Smiles and Frowns," by Miss Katie
Ferguson; 1885," Miss Eva Kelley
"The Brush," by Miss Ellis Chanslor
All were rare productions and well ex
ecutea, showing depth OF thought and
expression of mind, thus showing the
excellence of our girls. Strive onward
and upward girls. Beside these were
many recitations, and not one, from
the smallest to the largest but was a
success. Then followed remarks from
friends; then a nice treat from the
teacher to her school. Now came the
parting, which showed an unusual! deep
feeling and many tears were shed when
the pupils bid their kind and loved
teacher good bye. We extend our
thanks and congratulations to all con-
cerned.
