JESSE SCHOOL HOUSE.
Spelling Bee-0rganixation OF q Lit
erary Society-Noble People
The "Ledger" I'm Almost
Every Household.

A reporter of the LEDGER hied
himself to the Jesse School House Fri
day night with the purpose Of spelling
down the school, but we got badly
left; the school was too much for
us and We took our seat on the 4th
round. We had a bad cold and did
not feel like spelling anyway. Prof.
J. E. Jesse has charge of this school
and it is one Of the most prosperous
in the county. Jesse School House is
3 miles west of Mexico, situated right
in the midst OF the kindest and most
hospitable people TO be found in all
this broad land OF ours. The young
people are all jolly and happy--the
girls the fairest under the sun, tho
boys as brave as brave can be; while
the old folks are prosperous and
happy on their broad, fruitful acres,
their happiness greatly increased by
the light Of the LEDGER, which shines
into almost every household in that
section Of the county. After the
spelling bee literary society vas or
ganlzed with The following officers:
J. l.. Ware, President; Prof. John
yanderford, ice-president; Miss
Sallie Jesse, Secretary; Prof. j. Il.
Jesse, Attorney, aud Frank Arni-
stead Sergeant-at-Arms. Thirty-threc
members were enrolled. Before the
exercises commence next Friday
evening short debate will be had on
the question: Resolved, THAT habit
has more influence over person than
duty" As there are many orators
out In that district o warn" time is
anticipated. All friends Of education
are invited to attend.

BENTON AND GARLAND.
Correspondence Between the Attorney.
General and Col. Benton.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Hon. M. Il.
Benton, it was learned to-day, ad-
dressed letter last week to Attorney
General Garland, asking for more
specific explanation of the reasons for
which he was suspended than the
presidents order set forth. The at
torney-generai replied by inclosing
without comment a copy of the pres
ident's order against active partisan
ship and a printed list of announce
ments of political speeches by Mr..
Benton. Many of the Mlssourians in
Washington are of the opinion it
will he found reasible to secure the
reinstatement of MIR. Benton if the
president is approached in the right
spirit. Stories that Senator Geo. G..
Vest is coming to Washington on a
buldozing trip, based on knowledge
as to the intentions of the senator,
have been manufactured in Washing
ton for the deliberate and premedit-
ated purpose of making an unabridg-
able chasm between the Missouri
Democracy and the President.

A POLITICAL FEUD.
Congressman Heard Assaulted by a
Son-in.Law Of Major Gentry.

SEDALIA, Mo, Nov. 3.-The bitter
feeling existing letween the Gentry
and Heard factions of the Democratic |
party came very near resulting in |
bloodshed this afternoon. Major
VIM. Gentry published card in one
of the local papers yesterday morning
in which he repudiated Congressman
Heard and gave as a reason that the
latter had pandered to the Knights of
Labor. This morning Heard pub
lished card denouncing the charge
that he pandered to the Knights of
Labor as an infamous falsehood and
asserting that his refusal to recon-
mend Mr.. Gentry's son-in-law for
postmaster of Sedalia was the true
cause Of the difficulty between them.
Shortly after o'clock 7. w. Cloney,
a son-in-law of Major Gentry, STEP
ped into the Office of Sicher's hotel,
where the Congressman and his
brother were seated. Heard spoke
pleasantly to Cloney, who turned
fiercely upon him and called him a
lying Heard was in the
act of arising to his feet to resent the
insult, when Cloney seized his cane
and dealt him severe blow on the
side Of the head. The Congressman
was on his feet in an instant, wrested
the cane from his assailant and threw
him to the floor. Friends separated
the combatants and endeavored to eff
feet reconciliation. They after
ward came together in the hallway,
when Cloney made motion toward
his hip pocket as if to draw a pistol.
Heard drew his revolver and called
upon Cloney to defend himself. The
latter threw up his hands exclaiming,
II am unarmed." Heard remarked
to him that the matter might as well
be settled now as any time," and ad-
vised Cloney to arm himself. The
latter left the building and Heard re.
turned to his office. Five minutes
later Major William Gentry entered
the room and stepping up to Heard
seized him by the shoulder. He was
Igreatly excited, but before any blows
were exchanged Heard broke away
from him and drew his revolver. The
room was crowded with excited mer
by this time, and the angry politicians
were separated before any injury re
suited to either. Following SO clos,
upon one of the most bitter politica
contests that have ever taken plac,
in this district, the hostile meeting,
, between these noted leaders of tb,
Democratic party created a great sen
sation. Mutual friends have endeav
ored to effect a reconciliation be
tween the chief actors, but up to I
late hour tonight nothing in that di
rectioB has been accomplished. Boil
men are high-strung and cordial,
hate each other, and it is feared th,

moral reasons and that he shall not
drink for legal reasons.' The diff
fieulty is not one TO come-it is pres
ent. The moral suasionist is COM
PEELED not to say to the drunkard, in
the same breath: "You ought not to
drink for moral reasons, but you may
drink for legal reasons. / have Just
voted to license a saloon next door
to vou, but / come to tell you it is
very wrong and ruinous to drink" If
DR.. Snyder will solve this difficulty
and insure that the appeal shall not
lose its value, we promise him help
when the day of his imagined trouble
comes. One of the strongest rea-
sons DIR Snyder offers for opposing
prohibition is that all sorts of dis
reputable politicians will flock to the
new standard. Besides the immacu-
late parties which dominate the coun-
try now; which hold half their city
ward meetings in saloons;swbich open
ly charge each other with ballot-box
stuffing; which even now in st. Louis
charge rival factions of the same
party with unblushing fraud, and
made their charges stick; which do
not hesitate to follow corrupt men
because they are available; under
whose tuition and fostering care
American politics is reeking with cor
ruption and foul with stencil; beside
these parties what fate will befall
this free country if another party
should rise, giving disreputable men
standing room? What must have
been DR.. Snyder's spotless affiliations
that prohib ition threatens him with
such a calamity. It is not reason
able that new party forced into ex-
istence by the corruption of the old
parties, praying as it organizes and
acts, and ruling the saloon out of all
its counsels, should be the embodi-
ment and receptacle of all the dis
reputable men of the land. Such a
declaration is slander upon the con.
sclentious men and women who are
in the new movement It is very
easy for DIR. Snyder to proclaim in
this far west that the Maine
law is a conspicuous failure. Down
in Maine the people know better.
After years of trial, they recently en-.
grated prohibition into their con
stitution by an overwhelming ma
iority. There are doubtless many
places in Maine where the law il
violated; SO there are violations il
Missouri of the law against theft
More might be said in reply to DIR
Snyder, but sufficient reply to mucl
that he said will suggest itself to th'
thoughtful reader. I congratulate
anti-Prohibitionists on having so abl
an advocate, and I will carefully pre-
serve his article as the very ables
presentation his cause admits.

Free Speech Forever.

If the effect of the Presidents
order against the "pernIcious activ-
ity' of Federal office holders in pol
itics is to he what it has been in the
campaign just closed, We say in all
seriousness, and with entire respect
to the President, that it would better
be recalled and revoked. The effect
has been to restrict that "freedom of
speech" guaranteed to all citizens by
the Constitution, without checking
in the least that active interference
of officials with the management and
manipulation of party politics against
which the order was ostensibly aimed.
The latest case in point is the
strange refusal by the President OF
the formal application of Gov. Ross,
of New York, to go before the peo-
pie of that territory to make some
public addresses ''in digniied, de-
corous manner, appealing to the rea-
son and loyalty of the people, and
not TO partisan consideration merely.
always and on all occasions remem.
bering the dignity of my office"
The object of Gov. Ross was te
"expose to the people the rottenness
of former methods of administration
in that Territory, and to defeat BY
this exposure the efforts of the cor
rupt rings known to exist there tt
prevent the reforms which he wa'
appointed to carry out. Unless h'
could go before the people, the Gov
ernor said his mission would be
failure. The President denied tn
requested permission, on the grount
that it would be an infraction of hi
Executive order.
II this order is to prevent sucl
public service as this by Fedora
officials, and to deny the right Of fre'
speech to citizens who hold an Office
it should be rescinded.

THERE is sudden and unexplaln-

in the past two or three months for
small coins, chiefly cents and nickels.
For years there was an enormous
surplus of this petty change, and tons
of it were piled away in the United
States repositories. Now all this has
gone into circulation, and the de-
mand is greater than the supply.

EAST END SOLID.

The east end of the county always
comes up solid for the ticket. There
are no scratchers in that part OF the
county. Clay got very few votes
east of Salt River. Only one
man scratched at Laddonia and one
at Benton City. Cuivre did not give
Clay single vote. Candidates from
that portion of the county should be
remembered by our conventions in the
future. Leaders in the party who
work to keep the party solid and in
line should be rewarded by the party.

Pete Mathews Continuesl His Search,
With Startling Rssults--Thess0ld
MIL Seat"

The readers Of the LEDGER will re-
member having read Of Pete Mathews
finding lot of relics west of town
one day this week. Beng offs curious
nature, Mr.. Mathews continued the
search yesterday, with splendid suc-
cess. Near the spot where the first
batch Of relics was found is lake
lake of uncertain depth, and which
has neither an inlet nor outlet, appar-
emily. Thinking ii probable that the
aborigines had most likely gathered
around the lake, he commenced dig
ging on it's banks. Mr.. Mathews after
an hours work, having made no dis
covery, was about to give up the
search, when his pick struck some-
thing having q dull stone-like
sound. He removed the dirt, and
about 81 feet from the surface, came
across a large stone axe, which, un-
fortunately, was broken by the pick.
He continued to dig, each stroke OF
the pick bringing up something new
and curious in the relic line. Among
the relics was an old fashioned hand
mill, a large stone slightly followed
on top, in which TO pound corn, such
as the Indians used. The spot where
the curiosities were found has for
years been called the "old mill sent,
but for what reason, the Oldest in
habitant cannot tell; not even "Uncle"
Nathan Galbreath, who has lived
near the old lake for seventy years.
1t is now supposed that another old
hand mill had been found there years
ago, and the name clung to the place.
The 'old mill seat,'' on the banks OF
a mysterious lake, offers wide Geld to
the romancist, and the few supersti-
tious people living thereabout, even
60 80 far as to say that the clanking
of the mill, together with Rip Van
Winkle-like rumbling, can be heard
at the dead hour OF night.
Mr.. Mathews had no difficulty in
disposlng of the relics TO his neigh
bors at fair figures.

HORRIBLE.

The defeat of William r. Nor
risonis sapping the life-blood of the
Democratic party. The defeat of
Judge Phillips, of Kansas City, is a
disgrace. 1t is due to the same kind
of treatment that some so-called
Democrats of Mexico meted out to
Carter. The Democratic party can
not remain in power as long as Il few
jealous sore-head politicians and
mugwump editors are allowed to
throw cold water on the nominees.
Kick 'em out. If the party don't
keep itself pure, it deserves to 60

A REPUBLICAN Senator now upon
the stump has the presumption to
tell the voters that the tariff principle
favored by his party is to "place the
duties first upon imported luxuries.
How happens it, then, that more than
55 per cent. of the S1S1, 100000 col
lected from dutiable articles last year
was paid upon articles of almost
universal necessity? Senator Sher-
man has stolen the Democratic tariff
policy to masquerade under.

Audrain County Hunters.
From the Jefferson City Tribune.

FROM tne JEFFERSON City lflbune.
The party of Audrain county hunters,
four wagon loads strong, which passed
through here some ten days ago, came in
Tuesday night. They were hunting near
Koeltztown, in Usage county, and killed
twelve deer, ten bucks and two does.
The weather was SO warm that several
deer spoiled on their hands. They also
lost a valuable hound. The farmers Out
in that county are not in love with hunters
from distance, and are especially down
on hOundS
