NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

Mrs. Jennie Edmondson and
little daughter Minnie spent Sun
day in Kirksville, visiting \. J.
Halfway and family. Edna Sen

Mr.. ]. T. Albright and Miss
Annie L. Preston were united in
marriage at the residence of the
brides parents in Milan on Jan.
l4th. 4 large gathering of rela-
tives and friends witnessed the
ceremony, and numerous presents
were received Sullivan Stan
dard.
David Buerk, boy of this city
about II years of age, and a son of
Mr.. Thos. Burk, has target rifle
- calibre, which he loves to shoot
as all boys do. Last Saturday
evening he pointed the gun at Miss
Annie Pelsue, who was at Mr..
Burk's at the time, remarking that
he could hit her. He pulled the
trigger, and contrary to his expec-
tations, the gun fired, the small
bullet striking Miss Annie in the
hip, burying itself under the skin.
This should be a warning to all
boys, and men. too, never to fool
with an unloaded gun or pistol, as
they rarely ever fail to do deadly
work. In this instance, the wound
is slight, but ii might have been
fatal. There ought to be law
made to punish severely, any one
who deliberately points a gun or
pistol at another, whether loaded
or not as it is a foolish and dan
gerous practice The only wonder
Is that there are so few people
killed this way.-Paris Appeal.

The Presidential Succession Bill.

The presidential succession bill
passed the House Friday of last
week in the same form in which it
cam from the Senate. Many of
the Democrats were not quite
satisfied with its provisions, but
the members of that party gener-
ally voted for it, also 3S Republi-
cans representatives. The vote on
its final passage stood aye 1S3, no
Il. The bill was intrduced into
the senate by Mr.. Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts, and its provisions are
already familier to most of those
who read the papers. BY its
terms the Secretary of State, and
IN turn, the other members OF the
cabinet are to succeed to the Office
of the president in case of the
death, resignation or other disa-
bility of both the president and
vice-president The provisions of
the bill are undoubtedly fair and
if not absolutely the best that
could be devised, are probably the
best under all circumstances which
could be had. Other bills had
been prepared by different mem
bers regarded as preferable by a
considerable number of both sena-
tors and representatives, but their
adoption is supposed to have in
volved a constitutional amendment
which supposing such a thing
desirable, would defer to an uncer-
tain time provisions for the con-
templated contingency. Public
attention has been very recently
strongly attracted to this subject
by the death of Nice-President
Hendricks. and there was a very
distinctly expressed and general
demand for some Legislation which
would settle all uncertainty in re-
gard to whom should succeed tc
the presidential ofioe in case OF
the death of both president and
vice-president.

wiped out immense numbers of
pigs that would have gone into
market next summer and fall and
make Il further decrease in the
supply.
3. The farmers who will, like
ourselves, keep right on, will raise
fewer hogs calculating that the
price will be higher, and they will
have the same net income on n
few of the many, and they can do
it at less risk and with less corn.
4. We know that there are vast
numbers of thoughtless farmers
who will drop the business al
together and quit in disgust, and
when prices come up again as
they will, buyIlargely at high prices,
and get in with full crops of pigs
in time for the next year of low
prices.
1t is always good time to 60
into business when everybody else
is going out. The rush of hogs
into the market on account OF
disease has run prices down too
low, and the outlook now is for
better prices for the next year OF
two, The prices of hogs will vary
greatly as long as from five to ten
hogs are produced at a litter.
| We have given our reasons for
our own policy. If our readers
think them sound they are at liber-
ty to follow them. Iowa Home,

rency, has just resigned to accept |
the Vice-Presidency of the Ma
tional Bar of the Republic, at New
York, on fatter salary than uncle !
Sam has paid him.
Should the report of the fortifi-
cations board, just handed in to
the president, be adopted; the
country will be again reminded of
the costliness of war, or of prepar-
tons for defense in the event of
war. The report estimates that it
will require about one hundred
and twenty six millions of dollars
to establish n good system of coast
defence, and considerably asks the
present session for only twenty
one millions with which to buy
the machinery necessary to begin
the works. While it is doubtful if
either sum will be granted now.
Some of our military men believe
that, with forts already provided,
and our torpedo systom, the coun-
try is able to defend itself against
any attack likely to ever be made,
and that stronger navy is more
desirable.
The most frequent Legislative
topic about the capital is admit
ting Dakota. The matter could be
settled in an hour, if Dakota would
consent to go back into the dark
ages, and come in as a democratic
state, as it is very evident all op-
position is based on partisan
grounds. And this opposition is
the crowning blunder of the pres
ent majority in congress, and so
inconsistent that even Mr. Butler,
of S. c., has been forced to aban-
don his charge of treason against
the people of the Territory, and to
crawhsh with q show of decency,
has introduced a bill providing for
the election of 175 delegates, to
meet next December for prelimi-
nary organization, the state then
to be admitted by presiden-
tial proclamation. On the con-
trary, Mr., Morrison's bill provid-
ing for the immediate admission of
South Dakota is rapidly gaining
friends, and may yet pull through.
While the week has not been a
livery lively one in congress, much
progress has been made in COM
mittee work, and in addition to
those already mentioned, the bill
t to relieve Fitz John Porter, lever
} heard of it before?) a resolution to
5 inquire into the employment of

viii ii Pay to Raise Hogs in 1886?

\ good many farmers are oues-
tioning whether it will pay to
raise hogs in 1886. They argue.
and rightly, that there is not much
II any profit at present prices,
even where there is no disease
whilst at the present time, the
hog is the most risky ofall stock.
We think it very probable,
and in fact quite certain.
that there will be great decrease
in the number Of hogs raised in
western Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska. 1t is for this very reason
that we think farmers should 90
slow in making any radical change
in their methods.
We have suffered as severely as
any man in the state, having lost
about ninety per cent this year,

They will raise a few scavengers
to eat up waste and that is all.
They will give little or no corn to
their hogs. There will be de-
crease there.

visiting the several departments,

enthusiastic speeches, and done
much to make all appreciate his
visit. Prof. Mason is a perfect
model of good humor, and has
probably done more to inspire the
young men of our state with
greater ambition than any other
man now living in the state. He
spoke in very high terms of our
public school, and complimented
Knox City on her educational
facilities. His lecture at LaBelle
Friday night was simply grand.

\ correspondent of the Sedalia
Democrat writing from Winfield,
Kan, gives a dismal and forbid
lag picture of that region in the
late cold spell cattle huddled to-
gether in exposed situations and
frozen stiff, and families suffering
almost intolerable discomforts in
their frail houses of upright boards
with the cracks unbroken by bat
tens. Il would not" he says,
give eighty acres of good land in
Missouri for a whole section in
