Mr.. Hoxie, in behalf OF the Missouri
Pacific railway company, invokes the
protection of the law tor the property
which he manages. That is right; his
road is entitled to the protection of the
law as is the humblest citizen. But if
it is wrong to Violate law against the
Missouri Pacific railway company is it
not just as wrong for that corporation
itself to violate law? The constitu-
ton of the state of Missouri provides
that, "no corporation shall engage in
business other than that expressly au-
thorized in its charter or the law under
which it may have been or hereafter
may be organized" and yet while the
railway is only lawfully empowered to
transact the business of a common
carrier it is VIGOROUSLY engaged in the
mining and sale of coal, contrary to
this constitutional prohibition, and
against the interests of the citizens who
have the right to the use of its track
and rolling stock upon a free and equal
basis, void of discrimination in rates
per ton or the furnishing of cars. Mr..
Hoxie should purge himself Of con-
tempt of law before he becomes very
severe in his reflections upon Other
people for disregarding it.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE.

Mr.. Thos. w. Campbell arrived here
from Nevada after an absence OF eleven
years. His two sons and many friends
and relatives are rejoiced to see him
once more. He will return in a short
time to Nevada.
Aubrey and Claud Campbell, aged
8 and 10 years, have killed since Christ
mas, one hundred and two mice and
three rats. Can any others beat them?
Such work by each boy would save
many dollars in grain each year.
We heartily sympathise with our
Wellington friends IN their defeat, but
hope they will try again and never
give up, and that every neighborhood
will join them in their efforts to rid
themselves of saloons IN country towns
where they are not needed, and are al.
ways harmful, no matter how carefully
kept. Druggists furnish all necessary
spirits. Who will join the Wellington
advance guard? Will the intelligencer
keep a list of the names so we can tell
on which side is the majority?

Hon. w. E. Coleman, state super
lntendent of schools, writes as follows
to the county commissioners:-"The
law requires that after September l,
1886, applicants for certificates must
pass examinations in Physiology and
Hygiene. All certificates issued prior
to that date are valid until they expire
by limitation; and persons holding
certificates, the time ON which extends
beyond September l., 1886, are not
required to be examined in such sub
jects; only tho Sc who make application
for certificate after September l, 1886,
can be required to pass in this SUBJ
ject. This is not an ex post facto re-
quirement."

On last Tuesday afternoon an effort
was made by the Missouri Pacific peo-
pie to take a freight train out of Soda
liza. The train was made up, manned
and started all right. Three miles east
OF town, a rail having beer removed,
the train left the track and was wreck
ed. The train men all jumped off in
time and escaped any serious injury.
One officer had his wrist broken, and
another had his leg broken. This act
is,of course, a crime, and cannot be ap.
proved or palliated. While the trap
was set for a freight train, it might by
the merest accident have resulted in
the wrecking OF a passenger train and
the loss of the lives ofwomen and chill
dren as well as men in no way respon-
| sible for the strike.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen. causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the
kidneys or neighboring organs. AT
times, symptoms of indigestion are present,
flatulency. uneaslness of the stomach etc. A
moisture, like perspiralion, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, bleeding and
itching piles yield at once to the application
of DIR. BosankO's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the tumors, allaying the intense itching, and
e~ffectiny a permanent cure. Price so cents.

Let every lover of rod and line fishing
report every violation of the law to the
officials for prosecution and we will
soon see an end to this illegal fishing.
The parties on this side, who are in
the habit of using trammel and wing

lie are upon them. ROD AND LINE.

Atchison Globe:-"The prohibition
lists, through their secretary, have de-
clared their Willingness to allow eight
saloons to run in the city under a
license of 800 a month, in order to
keep down the clandestine selling now
going on. 1t is therefore probable that
front as well as back doors will be
open in a few days" What stronger
proof could there be than this that local
option, local sentiment, is the only
means to secure local prohibition. Here
are prohibitionists, forced by circum-
stances which bear ont the grounds for
high license and local option, to assume
the position of persons holding to that
view OF regulation.

comment since the commencement OF

One of his warmest friends in the sen

Jones is actually insane. He ignores
every effort made to induce him to re-
turn to Washington. 1t is thought
that had he paid attention to his sena-

ing a reelection to the senate for the

The contract for supplying the peni-
tertiary with coal for the ensuing year
has been awarded to the Tebo coal
company, of Lewis, Henry county, Mis-
souri, at nine and a-half cents per BUSH
ell. This is two cents per bushel lower
than under the contract just expiring,
and will make a great saving to the
institution, as it use about two car
loads of coal per day. There is one
point that it emphasizes. These mines
are about a hundred miles from Jeffer-
% City; the commissioner rate OF
freight for that distance, and the rate
probably obtained by the company, is
4 cents per bushel. The cost of pro-
ducing the coal evidently leaves but
little margin for profit, and the making
of such a price shows that there is a
permanent shrinkage in the value of
coal, which is a very strong argument
in favor Of a further reduction of freight
rates IN coal, below the rates now
made by the railroad commissioners.
