Benton Record: "Jesse Bolton, a
young man of the age of about twenty
three years. committed suicide one mile
below Sikeston last week. His friends
had observed, for the past month, evil
deDce that his mind was becoming un-
settled, but they did not anticipate
such course as he took to avoid the
humiliation of entirely losing his mind.
He was rather of q morose disposition,
intensely circumspect in his conduct,
and considered by all who knew him
as an honest. upright young gentle
man. For the the purpose of carrying
out his intention of ending his earthly
existence, he arranged gun to rope
hanging from the ceiling of ali out
house, near the dwelling in which he
lived, and with string in his hand
and one end tied to trigger, he placed
the back of his head to the muZzle OF
tho gun, and pulled-being killed in
stantly. He was well connected at
Sikeston and Big Prairie, and leaves
several near relatives to mourn his
loss"

The Ste. Genevieve Herald, in an
otherwise commendable article in ref
erence 10 a proposition from Nelson
Chesman & CO., advertising agents, st.
Louis, makes the following annunca-
tons: 1.-THE first principle upon which
the Heruld was founded is the welfare
of the peopleo of Ste. Genevieve county;"
and, 1.-The Herald is edited by the peo-
pie of Ste. Genevieve.n Now, that the
Herald is an advocate of those things,
generally, which are for the public
welfare, we have no doubt; any other
course would be suicidal: the public's
interests are its interests, and the well
fare of the one goes haud-in-hand with
that of the other. But to say that any
man on earth establishes a business,
primarily, for the public good, instead
of his own, is to tax the credulity of
sensible people beyond endurance.
What would we think of blacksmith,
or carpenter, or a merchant, or a
druggist, or butcher, or a baker, or a
book-maker, who would claim that he
set up his business, principally, "for
the welfare of the people?" Paugh!
the chestnut is stale and worm-eaten.

severe structures We have seen i'm the

Complaints come from every direc-
ton in regard to the recent advance
in express rates on the Iron Mountain
lines. 1t is a clear steal, brethren of
the press, and, if you will, you can
make it so Cdious that even the soul
less monopoly will heed the storm.
Keep it up until the meeting OF the
Legislature, and by the time that body
gets through with it, the Pacific Ex-
press Company will have arrived at
the conclusion that the people of the
State were not made to suffer uncheck-
ed extortion and spoliation. The Pacific
Express Company first drove the
Southern Express from the lines above
named, and thus destroyed competition.
Now the former company propose to
increase the fruits of its victory by pill
ing additional charges upon rates that
were already beyond reason. Only a
pull altogether will knock the scheme
i'm the head.

and mint pulIps all through the sum-
mer months for customers and quench-
ing your own thirst with rainwater.
He also says it is more fun to watch a
man read puff of himself than it is to
see him slip upon an orange peel. The
narrow-ninded man reads it over six
or seven times and then goes around
to the different places in town where
the paper is taken and steals what
copies he can. The kind-hearted man
goes home and reads it 10 his wife, and
then pays up his bill on the paper.

stopping Runaway Horses.

A Boston correspondent Of the Woon-
socket Patriot tells how a young police
man, Charles Mayne, stops a runaway
horse: when sou see a runaway com
ing do not try TO check him by a rush
from the opposite direction or the side,
for you will be Immediately knocked fiat
by the collision, but instead prepare
yourself for a short run with the horse.
Measure with your eye the distance and
start for the run while he is yet some
way off, perhaps ten feet in case of fair
TO medium runaways. You may depend
upon his keeping a straight line, for a
really frightened horse ia half
blind and would not veer for a
steam engine. He will 60 straight
ahead until he smashes into something.
SO do you'gct close to the line on which
he is rushing, and as he passes you grab
the reins near the saddle. Gather the
rcins firmly, and then, leaning backward
as you run, give them a powerful yank.
You may be able to brace yourself az you
give this yank, half sliaing on our feet.
The strong jerk on the Bit tells the horse
that he again has a master and prepares
him for a final struggle. A step or two
forward after the first yank, do it again,
This is The finishing stroke. 1t never fails
when given by a determined man. The
horse is on his launches. Keep a firm
pull on the reins till you grab the horse
by the nostrils and hold him so til! he il
paciiied.
In stopping a span Of horses Maynes
tries to get on the side Of the wilder one,
az, if pulled to its senses the other one
can be managed. The task is easier if
the horse has a curb bit. A runaway may
also be stopped by the driver in the same
manner. IF you pull steadily with all
your strength on a curb bit, says
Maynes, "the effect on the horses jaw is
Just what it is if you tie a cord tightly
about your finger. The blood doesn't
flow and the finger becomes numb. After
a firm pull has been maintained on the
horses mouth for a while it ceases to
have any effect.
You cannot then force him out of a run
If he is frightened. But give him his
head a little till the mcuth RECEIVERS from
the numbness, lash him with the whip If
you have a free road, and then give him
a sudden yank. He will come down. If
the first yank isn't enough give him one
more. There isn't a horse on earth which
can run away with q competent driver if
the harness holds" Maynes has riSked
his life a number Of times, and has had
some periious encounters before subduing
frightened animals. He has received a
medal from the humane society and $50
from the cab society.

He 60, His Money promDtIv.

AS stated In this paper at the time, Mr..
Jamie Rhodes, Of Eufaula, Ala, held
ticket No. as, i5j, in the October draw
ing Of the Louisiana State Lottery, for
which he paid one dollar. II proved 10
be a lucky Ii cket, for it drew the capital
prize of $500, 0G0 and entitled Mr..
Rhodes to one-twentieth of that AMOUNT.
or $1,000, If the ticket had
been a whole one for which Mr.. Rhodes
had paid $50, he would have received the
whole $500, 900. On inquiry, Mr.. Rhodes
found that he held the right number and
forwarded his ticket by express for col.
lection of his prize. II was promptly
cashed in a bank at New Orleans, and the
money was duly received by Mr. Rhodes
IN another day or two, and it is now on
deposit to his credit in the John McNab
bank of this city. Mr.. Rhodes is a most
worry young man Of about u years, of
moderate means and but recently entered
the mercantile business here in company
with his brother in-law, Mr.. Ed. Il. Long.
While his big luck was very gratifying,
1t did not daZe or unnerve him, but he
took II in a quiet and business like way.
and he will handle the money with care
and good judgement, as it gives him a
fine start IN business life. For thirty
years his father, Mr.. Chauncey Rhodes,
has been cashier of the John McNab
bank, in Eufaula, and no man il Ala
bama is thought more of by his friends
and those who know him. -Eufaula,

Albany Argus; A singular accident
occurred in Newburgh, n. Y. A train,
consisting of a locomotive and seven cars,
was making flying switch at the Erie
coal docks. The engine and two cars
passed on the main track, and the gate
man, supposing that was all of the train.
raised the gate. A team with a load of
brick attempted to cross, but was caught
by the rear part of the train. The wagon
was cut in two in the middle and was
ground to pieces. The five cars left the
siding on which they were running, and
jumped quite across and ran down the
main track after the engine. Neither the
t an nor driver was in the least injured.
