The doctor had his own idea, and while

The devils harvest field is the
side walk. Here he gamers his
crop of ripe boys. There are all
kinds of signs by which he can
tell when they are ready for pluck
ing. Sometimes it is a furtive
lingering, longing, looking at the
ripe fruits or toys displayed in the
windows. Sometimes it is the
pranks and tricks played under
the cover of night. The sidewalk
is the devils hunting ground;
there he lays in wait for his quar-
ry, and bags his game. If we would
keep our children out of his
clutches let US provide some sane
tuary where they can keep out of
his way. The devil hates holy
water; he also hates libraries, hap
py homes and the society of the
tender loving mother. Let us give
our children all these, and you
may decide upon it the devel wont
follow them there.-Ex.

An Essay on the Dude.

The dude is of no account ex-
cept for head cheese. He cannot
be mortgaged, pawned, civilized or
canned. He is of quite recent
date and resembles a sugar coated
blue mass pill. The name came
from the Latin verb duo meaning
one pair of brains in two pair of
heads, not allowing for leaking in
the transfer. He is common
noun, last person, singular num-
ber, neuter gender. The conju-
cation is duns, daub, down, doe,
doowe; and he do owe all he can;
especially the tailor. He drinks
nothing but diluted lemonade,
hence there is nothing tight about
him but his pants. He resembles
two modern tooth picks stuck into
a sweet potato; is as soft as a ripe
tomato and as flat as the same
when stepped upon by Missouri
river fatboat or the foot of Chi
cago Belle.-Ex.

A THREATENED DANGER.

The presence, at the Knights of
Labor convention at Richmond of
numerous candidates for political
Office suggest the greatest danger
with which the organization is
threatened. Many of these candi-
dates are Knights in full member
ship, who must belong to the class
which Mr.. Powderly says are men,
bers "for purely selfish motives. :"
The Patrons of Husbandry had a
similar experience a few years ago,
when the alliance of every man Of
prominence was courted in the
hope of adding strength to the or
der. The result was large influx
of politicians, scheming to infu-
ence the grangers for their person
al benefit. The farmers soon ceas-
ed to be controlling spirits in the
organization and the other classes
let go as soon as they had accom-
plished their ends.
Already politicians in every
city where the Knights are
well organized, are calculating
upon the value of their support in
the elections. 1t is to the interest
of the Knights to ignore such men
entirely. Many things can be
done with the ballot, but the COM
plete reform of the condition of
the workingmen is not one of them.
The express objects of the Knights
of Labor can be better attained by
the attention of every man to the
principles of the order than by
any sort of coalition with politi-
ticians. Hence every man, who,
as soon as he becomes a Knight,
becomes also candidate for office
may properly be supected of selfish
motives.

We desire to inform Presi-
dent Cleveland that the post master
at Kirksyille leaves his office, and
comes out into the post-office lob
by to electioneer for the indepen-
dent candidate for Circuit Judge.
Under the Civil Service rules and
the Presidents orders to officials,
this is very serious offense. The
business of the Office needs as
much attention as the Inde-
pendent Candidate.
The Independent candi-
dates's black board painter did
bad work in Macon County, both
as a painter and electioneerer. We
understand he has been in Putnam
county for several days in the
same business, painting black
boards and electioneering fer the
independent candidate, but his
statements SO jeopardized truth
that his work in Putnam county
has reacted as badly as it did in
Macon.
When Edward Higbee be-
came candidate for Circuit Judge

the leading democratic papers of
North Missouri and the only
democratic paper in Schuyler
county, had the following to say OF
him:

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

There is a fortune in store
for the man who will start a fac
tory in Kirksville that will work
up our hickory timber into wagon
tongues and axle trees; our elm
trees into wheel-barrows, and our
Sycamore timber into tobacco
boxes.
Parties have been telling
that certain republicans in this
county would support the lnde-
pendent candidate for Circuit
Judge. 1t would be well for the
parties thus accused to nail the
statement by denying it through
the press over their own signatures.
Neither democrats nor re-
publicans have any doubt about
the ability or efficiency of the
Republican Co. ticket. With a
proper effort and a steadfast adj
herence to principle every man
on the ticket will be elected by a
majority of six hundred.
The splendid hickory trees
that are cut down and used for
fuel every year in Adair county
would yield a large if they
were made into wagon tongues
and axle trees. There is not a
town in Iowa where the timber for
wagon tongue can be purchased
for less than twice what the same
would cost in Kirksville.
The latest dodge of the
independent candidate for Circuit
Judge in Macon county, is to
promise bridges to certain portions
of the county if he is elected.
That is certainly a cheeky pro-
ceeding. We thought the County
Court was the only body authorized
by law to act in such matters, and
the Independent candidate has a
great reverence(?) for "the SUI
premacy of the law
a few days ago chillicothe
man received an order from San
Francisco for twelve hundred wheel
barrows. The mans business is
confined exclusively to handles,
and he has no machinery for max
ing wheel barrows. The machinery
for the work costs about thous-
and dollars, and the wheel barrows
are made of elm timber. Why
not have a factory in Kirksville,
and work up some of our elm tim
ber? The profits, on a couple OF
orders like the above would pay
for the machinery.

For the good of the First Dis
trict, Harrison should be elected
to Congress. For the good of the
9th judicial Circuit, Higbee
should be elected Judge. With
proper effort of every Republican
in these ten counties Harrison
will carry the Congressional Dis
trict and redeem it from the Hatch
ism that is so detrimental to every
interest that damands legislation
in Congress. A change from Eli
son to Higbee would be largely to
the advantage of this Judicial
Circuit. 1t is with the Republi-
cans of the Circuit to make the
needed change, and it will be
done and thoroughly, this year,
