amazement.
Il will make no distinction be-
tween fine saloons and the holes

about the same kind of goods.
The cheap saloons may put a little
more water in their whisky, but
it contains no more poison than
that which you purchase in the sa-
loon where oil paintings adorn
the walls and high priced mirrors

evening and the last heard of him
he was ON the railroad track east
of this place about eight o'clock.
Wednesday morning as the sec
ton hands were going over the
road they found his dead body at
the high trestle four miles east of
here. The trestle is 700 feet long
and he was only about fifty feet
from the east end where it is from
fifty to sixty feet high. He had
either fallen off the trestle or was
knocked off by the Passenger train
going west. Probably he fell off
as he was quite drunk, and at that
place the train slacks and goes
very slow. The coroner was mott
fed Wednesday and held an in

not learned at this writing. Sulli-

cases and for short time, but that
John W. Henry never was. 1t is
not that it was important whether

ty of the assertion of candidate

the remark to attention. Macon

Mr.. Higbee, in his remaks here
last Saturday, said that Judge
John w. Henry and Judge An

neys for the old North Missouri
railroad. We are informed that
this not true, that neither Judge
Henry nor Judge Ellison were
ever local or general attorneys for
the railroad. The railroad candi-

The Oleo Frauds are not on sc
high stills as they were, gasconad-
ing about the illegality of the law.
| They come nearer being on their
knees, even if they give no sign of
contrition. That is, they are al
most begging that the price of the
retail license may be lowered. Cur
ious as it may seem, that little S4S
retail license fee, promises to be
the rock on which the business
will split. The manufacturers can
pay their 5000 license, the whole
salers could pay!their $3.50 and they
combined could pay the S4S, fol
the retailer, as some of the big
brewers are said to pay the license
fees of the saloonists-so as to
establish an outlet for the contents
of their cellars, but the trouble is
they cannot give character to the
owner of a frst-class grocer, who
dabblss in Oleo. There is broad
difference in things; even in this
vain and sinful world. A man
needs a character to run a gooC
retail grocery with-he don't nee6
. much of one to run a low dive o
a saloon. SO it follows the true
r high-minded grocer couldn't afforC
to have his license given to him
