FOR JUSTICE OF PEACE.
JOHN RICHEY.
SANFORD SNYDER,
B. W. ROSS.
FOR CONSTBLE.
JACOB SHOLLY,

War clouds are again gath
ering in Europe and are more
threatening than ever.
Now would be an excellent
time for the organ to turn ON
some of its power and make its
influence felt"
The execution of II. NJ. Brooks,
alias Maxwell, which was to have
taken plack Aug. 9th, has been
postponed until Nov. 18th.
Am I my brothers keeper?
Yes, [ ought to be, for he has been
mine for these many years. Be-
sides, you know, L am getting $500
per month while at this work.
Democrats are under no obliga-
tions to support the independent
candidate for circuit Judge. He
has ignored the democratic party
for the last ten years.
Let us get out of the mire;
The people of Adair county want
a good mill and they shouldhave
it. 1t will save many thousands
of dollars to our town and county
each year.
There is beginning to be
considerable inquiry for property
near town. Our schools and the
power of our soil to Withstand
drouth is attracting general atten-
ton.
We are glad to know that
our article on new school buildings
has awakened considerable inter.
est, and it is quite probable thai
Kirksyills will have two new neat
commodious school buildings with
in the next year.
-Repu blican papers have nc
ammunition to waste, even If thei1
shots are light, fighting the Pro.
hibitionists during this campaign
Democracy needs the attention OF
Republican papers just at this
time.
How does the Democratic
nominee like to be traded for Inde
pendent votes for circuit Judge? l!
is a rather cheeky proceeding, but
then independent candidates
are under no obligations to any
one, and are responsible for moth.
ing?
The Quincy Journal is
striking some terrific blows to
break the chains of Democratic
bossism in the First Congressional
district. Go it journal! You are
doing a great work for this part OF
grand old Missouri.
-Republicans are under no
obligation to support the inde-
pendent candidate for Circuit
Judge, but they are under ehliga-
tions to support Edward Higeee.
He is the regular nominee of the
Republican party, reliable man.
who nsrer carries water on both
shoulders, and the peer of any
awyer in the 9th Judicial circuit.

To Cool Water Without Ice.

Procure large jug, and cover it
to a thickness of half an inch with
one or more layers of any kind of
coarse cloth, carpet or other mate
rial. When filling the jug satu-
rate the jacket with water. Keep
the jug in a windy, shady place,
and the evaporation of water in the
jacket will absorb enough heat to
keep the water in the jug pleas
antly cool. This is called the cool
ing jacket method.
A tin pail, with very fine wire
gauze lid, and heavy saturated
jacket, set in a raised, shady win
dow, furnishes a far better place
to keep milk pure and sweet than
nine-tenths of the household re-
frigerators, which usually contain
a little of everything else but
sweetness.

of the Mulberry Sunday school,

ending June the 9th. The aver

first month 81, during the second
month 81; the third month rs.
The average number attending
during the. quarter SO; The largest
number present at any time 130;
the smallest number present at
any time 40. There have been
new pupils admitted nearly every
Sunday, which is very encourag-
ing. Our Superintendent was alb
sent once during the quarter; the
cause of his absence, attendance at
Presbytery-satisfactory. One of
the assistant superintendents was
absent once for good cause; and
the other one was present
every Sunday; secretary present
every Sunday; treasurer was alb
sent twice during the quarter;
teacher of class number / pres
ent every Sunday: teacher of class
number 2 present every Sunday;
teacher Of class number 3, absent
times; teacher of class num-
Der 4, absent once; the teacher of
class number 5, present every
Sunday during the quarter. This
speaks well for the officers and we
sincerely hope that they may
prove prompt and faithful, SO that
our quarterly report in the future
may show as good or better work
than this one. KATE MILEY,
Secretary.
l commend the foregoing report
because it shows the systematic
work of the Sunday school. This
point is to be kept in view con-
stantly, that the work may not be
spasmodic, uncertain and brief;
but systematic, regular and per-
manent all the year.

----- While ther,, 10 a lull IN the
fight against the prohibitionists
would be a most opportune time
for the editor of the organ to az
plain his connection with the
Normal catalogue business.
Do the taxpayers ever stop
to thiuk how much it is costing
them for the Independent candi-
date to hold his place and power?
There is the rent for luxurious
Office in which he receives his
friends that must be paid by the
people; such extras as were paid
the ring papers for publishing the
Normal catalogues; and a $500
man to sit around on the curb
stone and electioneer for him.
Quite expensive. Isn't it? While
the people have to pay all these
expenses, wouldn't it be better to
try something cheaper during the
hard times?

Horrible Scene on the GaIlous.

Louis for the murder, July 81, 1885, of William
A. David second mate of the steamer Fannie
Tatum, on which Wilson was deck hand
After the trap was sprung the body for mo-
ment remained motionless and then was en-
acted a scene of horror which chilled the blood
of all who witnessed it. Two doctors, one on
either side, were each holding his wrist, when
the violent contortions OF the hanging figure
shook them aside, and before they could regain
hold upon the man, whose actions showed
full possession and consciousness of all that
was going on, he made frantic struggles to re-
lease himself. His right hand shot up, clutched
the rope, and held it firmly. 1t seemed as if
the man must die by slow degrees of strangu-
lation, but one of the doctors succeeded in dis
engaging his hand, and in a short time death
ensued.
