There was a large gathering at St
Johns hall last evening to discuss the
eight hour question. The attendance
was in the main composed of Knights OF
Labor, members of the Carpenters
Union and other laboring men. The
question discussed was whether eight
hours was not a sufficient length of time
out of the twenty four for a laboring man
to do all the work that ought reasonably
to be expected of him by his employer.
Several of the gentlemen present made
short speeches and expressed their views
on this all important question. Almost
with one accord those who gave expires.
sion to their views were decidedly in favor
of the eight hour principle, and there was
scarcely a dissenting voice on the propo-
sition that eight hours was a sufficient
length of time for work in most lines Of
employment. This question is to be fur
Their agitated and discussed hereafter.

A MIDDAY BLAZE
A West End Establishment Visited by
the Fire FIend.

Yesterday, forenoon shortly after IL
o'clock the alarm of FIRE was sounded
through the city and in an incredible short
space oftime the FIRE department was out
in full force and on the ground. the cause
of the alarm being a visitation of the fire
iend at the house of Mrs. Livingston, at
the West End. The flames, which were
first discovered from the outside, pro-
ceeded from near the southwest corner of
the building and in the upper story. AT.
ter some difficulty, which were overcome
by chopping a hole through from the out
side, the water was poured in and the
flames quickly extinguished. The Durants
and the Alerts did excellent service, as
did also the Pioneer Hooks, all having
arrived on the ground at about the same
time. The damage to the building and
furniture will be about $3.50. which is
covered by insurance in companies repre-
sented by Riner 4 johnson and f. W.
Ransom. A thorough investigation into
the u Of the fire by gentlemen con-
nected with the insurance business, re-
suited in ascertaining that the FIRE origin.
ated from a lighted cigar which was ac-
cidently laid in a cushion chair in one Of
upper rooms of the house. This occurred
sometime during the night previous, from
which time no one was in the room until
the FIRE occurred.

THE HAeERMAN HoRsEs.
Twenty-Nine Of Them Brought to
CHEYENNE.


The "Hagerman horses" or rather the
horses said to have been stolen by Fred
Hagerman, and which were on a range
near Freel canyon, about fifty miles north
east of Cheyenne, have arrived in Chey-
enne, having been rounded up and brought
to the city by John Crafts, who was sent
out for that purpose by Sheriff Craig on
Monday last. The horses have upon
them all sorts Of brands and some Of
them none at all. Only twenty-nine of
the herd were found and brought in, al
though there are said to be eleven more
in that region which belong to the same
''outfit." The horses were taken in
change by Sheriff Craig and were taken
down to the quarantine yards Yesterday,
where they now are, and where there will
no doubt be many callers within the next
two or three days, as there are several
very anxious gentlemen around the city
who desire to know whether any Of their
animals are among the lot.

MARRIED-At the NJ. Z. Parsonage, Iron
to Miss LOTTIE MILBURN. The wedding
was quiet affair, taking place at 80 O'Clock
in the morning. 1t was evidently the action
of two honest hearts. Beating as one, they
became one.
There is something in the action of two
devoted ones that considerably, adyisedy
and discreetly came to The marriage alt ar
and pledge their faith and life each to the
other, that shows the finer and nobler aspir-
ations of the soul. There need be no osten-
tation or parade. Indeed it is to be feared
that too much effort is being made in this
direction. 1t is possible that the nobler i'm
pulses that should actuate hearts on mar
riage occasions are obscured or destroyed
by the routine and paraphernalia of fash
Ionable wedding. do not speak dispar-
ugingly, but the brightest and most cheer
full moments Of many are those spent in pre-
pairing for and passing through the marriage
service. When the realities of life, the
stubborn resistance of misfortune or wither-
ing disease disturbs the equanimity, the
fragrance of wedding flowers disappears
forever, beauty loses its charm, and hastily
and lightly estimated promises are broken.
The real essence of true happiness is found
in the rougher paths of life; duty is our guar
antee. May Tuly and LOttie find all desired

Fredericktown is getting some ex-
perience on the whisky question.
About month ago, the court, by
straining joint of law refused licenses
to the petitioners, and the saloons were
closed. Then the gallon " establish
ments blazed out in all their glory,
and the consequence is. Frederick town
has had more drunkenness on the
streets in the last thirty days than
ever before in the same period. In
consequence one saloon has been per-
nnitted to open in Bugtown, and the
others will resume at an early day.
Practice does not always bear out the
prognostications of theory. AS we re-
marked in the beginning, our neigh
bors are having a harvest of expert
ence, and we presume they will profit
by it.

never have done days work in their lives !;
who cannot, will not work, and must live
somehow, make this last pitying appeal.
Should our next legislature be unwise
enough to surrender their prerogatiye of
doing rs they please, and listen to the petit
tions of the people, against their better judg-
ment, should they then submit the question:
" Shall an amendment forever prohibiting
the manufacture, sale, &C., of whisky, beer,
ale, wine or cider in the State of Missouri"
be voted on, then we are indeed lost. And
God alone knows what would become of all
those people who have fame, position and
riches at the expense of, what some cranky
people term, the miseries and misfortunes of
their fcllowmen. In Imagination shudder
at the certainty and severity of their i'm
pending doom. Y. Y. Z.

Republicans of this county will not try

Greenbackers and Prohibitionists vote
or are allowed to vote the result can
not be the voice of the Democracy.
