Richelieu-James O'COnnOr and Troupe
A Marked Success.

James Owen O'Connor demon
strated the fact, last night, that he
IS an actor of true merit and genious,
and his personation of Richelieu,
the great Cardinal and King maker,
was real gem, fully appreciated
and heartily applauded By those con-
versant with portrayal of tragedy in
its truest form.
De Mauprat won many friends bv
his acting last night, while Julie, the
ward of the great Cardinal, was
most heartily applauded for her true
rendition OF the character which she
portrayed.
There was not single hitch or
break IN the play during the entire
evening, which was simply wonder.

Tonight will be given the Mer-

H {. Gregory, who has been

tarm three and one halt miles south
east of Pleasanton, struck lead last
Tuesday at depth of eighteen feet.
The mineral was found in bed OF

that, many years ago, when this
country was a vast wilderness and
inhabited by savages, the Indians
removed lead from the bowels OF
mother earth at this very spot. AT
least the indications are that the
earth had previously been stirred, as
it seemed very lose at several places.
AS will be remembered, about a
year ago several large chunks OF
lead were found in hollow stump,

put there to mark the spot. Mr..

Asking for a Reduction of Taxes.
The following petition at the IN

secretary of the Mo. State Grange,
is being largely circulated all over
the State and is being generally
signed:
Sign and return to AVA E. PAGE,
APPLETON CRY, Mo.
In VIEW OF THE FACT that a sys-
tenn of DOUBLE TAXATION, which has
ever been in force greatly to the detri-
ment OF all classes of property own
ers. and particularly to real estate
owners, and much to the creditor
class, VIZ. those who hold notes,
bonds and other evidence of indebt-
edness. In view of the fact that in
many counties taxation has become
so hurdensome both on tarm and
dwellings IN small towns as to render
investment wholly Improbable,
amounting IN many instances to a
very large percentage of the rental
of such property, differing in pro-
portion to the amount OF public
Indebtedness. In view OF the fact
tfsat under the present law property,
and especially real estate, IS taxe6
o. assessed to the owners without
giving him any credit for the mort
gage against it. The same law
nominally-taxlng the note or mort
gage against it; which in many, il
not in most cases, is evaded, ano
which, it not evaded, is double tax
atieu to the extent of such notes Of
mortgage and If not evaded as is thu
case in thousands of instances, place.
the whole burden OF taxation. which
should rest jointly upon the owner
of the property, thus working grea
injustice. In view of the great fac
that equity and justice in taxation {,
an inalienable right of the citizens o
free county, we, the undersigned
citizens OF - county ant
State OF Missouri, most respectfull'
ask OF the State of Missouri, that
law be inacted At the present Session
that while taxing all property a
now, shall exempt from assessmeu

Children Praying to

Who can tell what ideas children .. ten
der age acquire from what they read. Re
Gently mother saw her two children, aged
respectively and Syears, knceling in the
middle of the grass plot, with faces uplifted,
hands claSped, and lips moving evidently in
prayer. Curious as to their petitions, she
drew near unseen, and overheard the follow
ing: 'Oh. Jupiter, we pray thee ripen the
grapes and send us flowers" This was said
in unison. The younger then added: "Jupi-
ter, send the flowers to-day, just as many as
you can" The older took up the petition,
saying: "Ripen the grapes tomorrow, for we
need them very much" Horrified at this
pagan proceeding, the mother exclaimed:
Children, where did you ever hear of pray
ing to Jupiter.' "Oh, we read it in IEsop's
fables, and if people prayed to Jupiter then
why cannot we pray to him nova We want
grapes and flowers ROW, so we have been
praying to Jupiter for some time, SO that he
will be sure to hear us and give lis what we
want. New York Commercial Advertiser.

How "A Woman Reads the ;ponar


According to Gertrude Garrison, this is
how she does it: She takes it up hurredly
and begins to scan it over rapidly, as though
she were hunting some particular thing. but
she is not She is merely taking in the OBJ
scure paragraphs, which, she believes were
put in the out-ofthe-way places for the sake
Of keeping her from seeing them. As she
finishes each one her countenance trightens
with the comfortable reflection that she has
outwitted the editor and the whole race of
men, for she cherishes belief that news
papers are the enemies of her sex, and editors
her chief oppressors. She never reads the
headlines, and the huge telegraph lines she
never secs. She is greedy for local news and
tlevours it with the keenest relish Marriages
and deaths are always interesting reading to
her, and advertisements are exciting and
Stimulating She cares but little for printed
jokes unless they reflect ridicule upon the
men, and then she delights in them and never
forgets them. She pays particular attention
TO anything inclosed in quotation marks and
considers it rather better authority than any.

The columns in which the editor airs his

Views are of no importance in her estimation.
but facts are everything. She generally
reads the poetry She doesn't always care for
it, but makes practice of reading it, because
she thinks she ought to. She reads stories,
and sketches and paragraphs, indiscrmi-
nately, and believes every word Of them.

she lays tie paper down with an air Of disap-

Dakota Editor OF Visiting.

The mother-in-law is a valuable institution
out west. A Dakota editor made the follow
ing statement in his paper last week: Times
being rather hard, we are going to take our
wife to the home of our mother in law next
week for a short visit, and we will give our
readers little vacation by not issuing any
paper. They won't lose much, for there is
little news going just now, and we print this
week an editorial on the tariff which would
have appeared next week. The only thing
we have had TO leave out on this account is
Bill Jones advertisement about a farm for
sale; but that is of no consequence, as he
hasn't paid anything for it yet Brethren,
white paper is too blamed dear to fool it away
when our mother-in-law will keep us week
for nothing
