w. G. Cock, member of the last
legislature from Henry county. has
the following to say in card to the
st. Louis Republic in reference to
the race for secretary of the next
state senate:
Col Ladue is not only we'll quail
fed for the important position, but
his claim is paramount to that of anv
man in the state, if ability and long
continued effective and efficient SER
vice for the success of democratic
principles is to be considered. It
seems to me that on the incoming of
new administration, these posi-
tions, or the aspirants for them,
ought not to be prejudiced by prom
ises made by holdoyer senators. The
new body, as a whole, it would seem
ought to be left free to choose its
own officers. It does not look ex-
actly right for man to commence
two years in advance, and take ad-
vantage of his association and ac-
quaintance with senators (who are
almost always disposed to grant ia
vors to the officers of the senate) to
fix things for two years ahead. It
savors too much of machine poll
tics" 1t is not true, as stated in
the Republic, that E. NJ. Vance. can
didate for chief clerk of the lower
house, resides in, or halls from. This
(Henry) county. He has notresided
here for many years. and his fathers
family reside in st. Clair county.
Let us have fair play.

AN ARTIFICIAL LAKE.

Pleasant Hill has a beautiful lake
within three quarters Of "a mile Of
the business portion Of the town,
covering 80 acres, with convenient
boat house, bath house, etc, an e2-
cellent resort for the people to go
after business hours and have
delightful time Clinton has a lake
supplied from the artesian sulphur
well. Nevada is building one now.
Butler has a well of water over 1,3O0
feet deep within 80 feet Of the top.
The parties who drilled the well,
with the machinery at hand, attempt
ed to lower the water and found Ii
impossible to do so. We already
have between three and four thous-
and dollars invested in the well, and
with a very little more expense a
small engine could be purchased to
test the quantity of the water. If
found sufficient it would be but very
little expense to make al artificial
lake here. The natural advantages
would all be in our favor. It is To-
Gated in a basin, surrounded by
hills the ravines alcne would have to
be damned when we could have thirty
or forty acres in as beautiful a body
of water as imagination could de-
pict. Then would come the time
for rustic bridges, boat houses, bath
houses, boating on the moon light
waters, etc, ad infnitam. The
lake could be constantly replenished
by fresh water from the well by
a wind mill pump. The ravines
running into this natural basin could
be utilized to advantage III filling
the lake at the start. Then with such
a body OF water at our command
the water-works question for Butler
would no longer be problematicai.
We have heard an expression from
some of our business men who
would be perfectly willing to invest
little more money III tho arteslan
well project from which We are sat
istied could be derived large returns.
Will some of our enterprising cit
liens talk this matter up and take
steps in this direction. We would
| suggest as al excellent committee
for this purpose the names of the
following gentlemen: Wln, E. Wal
ton, Capt. F. J. Tygard, JAS. X.
Brugler, p. c. Fulkerson, Judge
Sam Levy, Rev. A. Walker and r.
j. Hurley. We suggest these names
as coming first to mind and know
they would make an excellent COM
mittee it they would but take hold
OF the matter. Let us get to work
and have lake completed by early
spring that will be pride and Joy
to Butler and eclipse anything of the
kind in the west.

John p. Willis, Deputy Z. S.
Marshal, will be o candidate for
sergeant at arms of the next House
OF representatives. MIR. Willis has
held his present position under Mar
shal Gates for three years and is
held in the very highest esteem by
that gentleman for efficiency and
gentlemanly conduct in Office. In
the labor troubles in 1856 he estab-
lished deserved reputation for
courage by running an engine out
of the yards at Nevada through an
immense throng of strikers at the
point of a pistol. He has been a
life long democrat and labored hard
for his party before he was old
enough to cast vote. If long and
active party service counts for any
thing then, Mr. Willis ought to be
rewarded He is competent to fill
the duties Of the office and the dem
ocratic representatives ~ould make
no mistake by making him their
caucus nominee.

Citizens of Clinton, if you would
have a substantial town, plenty of
money and business whether full
crops are made Or not, you must
encourage manufactures. To do
that in way easy to everybody. a
Manufacturers Building and Loan
Association should be organized at
once. 1t would keep the savings of
our people where it would do them
the most good. A tiling factory
would probably be the best paying
investment, and it could be increas
ed in capacity until it would give
employment to a small army OF
workingmen, and then not keep up
with the demands for it's wares

'Til,' i .,i..' Circs.it Court Confirms ii
Tax-%ale .ten1.

KAS5As CITY, Dee. 10.-In the
United States circuit court to-day
was handed down Judge Phillips
decisi III III the case of VIM. FLYNN
against J. z. Edwards, an action of
ejectment for the recovery Of the
possession of 10 acres of land situa-
ted III Bates county, custer laid in
1858, the defendant claimed title by
mesne conveyance under tax deed.
The evidence shows that the land was
returned as delinquent for taxes and
suit WAS instituted in 1887 against
the plaintiff III the name of the state
to enforce the collection Of the taxes.
Speciai executions was issued and
the land sold Tor S76 and on the
day following deed was issued.
The purchasers sold the land to the
defendant, who has ever since re-
mained IN possession. The validity
of the defendants title is assailable
upon the ground, principally, that it
was the duty of the sheriff to have
sold the least possible quantity of
land that would satisfy the judg-
ment and not the whole 4O-acre
tract. Judge Philips decided that
the neglect of the sheriff to sell the
land by its smallest legal subdivision
did not invaidate the sale, and that
when a defendant, having knowledge
OF sale, permits it to stand unques-
toned for long time his inaction
affords strong presumption that he
acquiesced in the sale. Judgment
was rendered for the defendant.
