Moses Tucker received a new steam
threshing machine last Monday. The
engine is a self propeller, and when it
is in proper working condition will be
apt to propel itself along any decent
road. In bringing it up Second street
Monday night, it caused considerable
of a sensation, but the machinery was
not in proper working condition, and
considerable trouble was experienced.
The street was blocked up with spec
lators, and horses passing cut some
queer antics. One horse upset the
buggy attached to him and threw the
occupant out.

Teaching has always been regarded as
one of the most genteel ways open to
them for self-support. It givesa better po-

education and the bringing up of a lady.
The salary may be small, but it is GER

u large number of the girls who be-
como teachers do not look upon it as @
life work, but only q temporary make
shift which will not affect their position
i'll society until they marry. The conse-
quences or possibilities of long years of
such wear and tear does not enter into
their calculations. With youth and
energy, probable drain upon the nerv-
Gus forces often counts but little.

regard her as their friend and helper and,

fic Admits all the Essential Facts Testified &c

tive was not Murder.
Maxwell, the alleged murderer OF
Preller, has testified in his own behalf
His recital of his personal history shows
that he has been accurately traced in all
his movements, his account corroborat-
ing oil witnesses who have testified
against him, except the detective who
was in prison with him. He gave his
name as Hugh Maxwell Brooks, aged 25
born in England. His account of the
death of Preller is identical with his con,
fession published a few days ago. He
had studied medicine, but had no license
to practice as a physician. He had
treated Preller for trifing ailments pre-,
vious to coming to ST. Louis, and at
Preller's own request undertook to re-
move structure. Preller was the CON
senting party to the use of chloroform,
and the case was one which might and
does sometimes occur in any physician's
practice. Preller died from the effects
of the drug while under treatment. Max

ing the circumstance at once, but he was
| in strange land, ignorant of the Gus
toms, and unaware that his report would
| serve him had he made it. Besides this
he was i'll great grief over the death of q
man to whom he was much attached as
q friend. In this state of mind the
thought occurred that he must hide the
body and get away. He then packed il
in trunk, as described, and took what
money he found in Preller'# trousers,
about 5000. He made q number of pur.
chases and drank q great deal before
leaving for California.
Questioned by his counsel: "What dc
you know about q piece of paper, read
ing, so perish all traitors to the great
cause?"
The prisoner: 'I wrote it. Ny idea
was that the authorities would find il
and that it would puzzle them until on
autopsy should be held"
Counsel: "Was it your idea to DELAY
them while you were getting away?"
Prisoner: eyes"
Counsel: odd you DO anything else
with the same object in view?"
Prisoner: eyes. I shaved off the
mustache."
Counsel: "Can you tell how that chi
came upon his breast?"
Prisoner: eyes. I did it with d seal.
pei, but can assign no reason for it."
Counsel: "Had you, when Won ad-
mnlstered that chloroform, anv inton.
tion of killing Preller?"
Prisoner: 'I had not, sir." CTho pria-
oner spoke loudly and emphaticallv,1
Counsel: clad you any intention OF

The rest of the testimony was taken
up with his trip to San Francisco, some
of the events which occurrsH, and his
explanation of some of the big stories
which he told about himself on his trip
to that city.

There are those who believe q COnSti
tuition of our own making is worth thi!
much, if for no other reason than to cal
our Constitution. The present instru
ment under which we live WAS made by
negroes, traitors and carpet-baggers. Il
was forced down our throats at the point
of the bayonet: It has provisions, man
datory at that, which have not and car
not be obey. Our legislators scorn an6
spit upon it when it suits, and give as
excuse that they are obliged to disobey
some of its provisions, and thus they
have lost respect for it. If for no Other
reason we need new one and should
have it.
But let us see whether the $140,000
which is little less than one mill, cal
not be gotten without additional taxa
ton. The work on the State House
should be stopped as soon as good ROOF
IS put on and needed repairs made. We
need education more than we do a grand
State House. Seventy-five thousand dol,
lars can be obtained right here, and with
out searching for n Legislature anxious
w w
rest and still reduce taxes. If the farm,
ers do their duty in sending men to the
next General Assembly there can be
many thick-padded places found that
will bear slicing. They can find ''places
to CUT if they want to. The Farmers
Convention has been blamed because
they did not go into details. We were
not Legislature and we knew it. We
intend to elect one, though, that will
carry out our recommendation if we
can.

1t would seem to be a truth appre-

fessors of the healing art, that to re-

ces do we see this trnth admitted in
theory, ignored in practice. The rea
