No FEAR OF The GALLONS In Boston Thurs
day night William Nowin, the brother of the
murderer of milkman Coleman, WAS arrested on
suspicion OF being about to commit deed similar
to that for which Eddie Nowin was hanged
Nowlin and herdc driver were caught in an
unsucce. sful attempt several months ago to rob q
gentleman. For this crime Nowlin was sentenced
to the reformatory. His conduct while in this
institution was not SO good rs to have him re
leased on probation, aud he found employment
with W. l.. Russell, milkmau. Nowiin it is
said hxd discovered that his employer had money
in his possession and planned to get it, just as his
brother Eddie had planned against his employer,
Coleman nearly two years ago. Early Thursday
evening servant girl, whose name could not be
learned met an officer on the street and told him
she had overheard Nowln and smother man plot
ting for the murder of Mr.. Russell. They had
their plans all arranged, the girl said, to over
power the milkmsn in his room at the stable, Sc
cure bis money aud take the train for New York.
They hao herdic engaged 10 wait for them snd
take them to The New York and New Englsnd
depot When the girl had heard this could not be
learned from the off :eIs. They ere now looking
for Nowlin's alleged accomplics, and have hopes
Of finding M They intend to confront him

THg EXISTENCE of the present salt trust
shows that Mr. Morton, the republican can
didate for the Vice Presidency, was better
man several years ago, when he was mem
Der of Congress, than he is now, for whereas
he then voted to take the duty of salt, he
now says that duty should be retained, and
that, too, though he knows that the duty
suggested the trust and made it possible,
and that save only and except for the duty
the trust never could have been successful.

The Fulton base ball club re-

$40 to have Fulton go over or
would take the same amount and
come to Fulton and play the re-
naming two games of the season
and named Monday and Tuesday,
June 4th and 9th as the dates.
Our boys answered them and told
them to come to Fulton. Yester-
day the Mexicans telegraphed they
would be here the 7th and Sth. We
can only look at the course pur-
sued by the Mexico club as a
square back down. From the fear
full drubbing received from the
Fulton club not long since, they do
not care to meet them again. We
would advise them to disband, sell
their bald-tace park or hire the st.
Louis Browns to play for them and
use the present nine for buffers.

1t was a magnificent audience
that greeted the fourteen young
lady graduates of Hardin College
at Kabrich's Opera House Monday
night. 1t is possible that its equal
and certainly It's superior has
never assembled there. Prof.
Schumacher, in charge of the
music, delighted the audience with
a number of selections.
The interior of the Opera House
was beautifully decorated and the
stage was a bower of beauty, with
its rich hangings, trimmings of
evergreens and settings of rare
plants. The programme opened
with the reading of essays by the
B. l.. graduates, as follows:
Miss Efie Cowgirl, Hamilton,
Mo-, ""The Philosophers stone"
Miss Grace Danforth, Charleston,
Mo-, "Old Woman, Old Woman,
Whittier. so High? To sweep the
Cobwebs from the Sky; I'll he
back by-and-by."
Miss Jennie Ferris, Mexico" Is

Miss Hattie CAN'T, Mexico,
"Mind thine own Aimes."
Miss Ada Aart, Brownsville,
Mo-, "Appomattox."
Miss Bessie Lakeland, Mexico,
individual Effort"
Miss Nora Pindall, Mexico,
"Whitewash."
Following an excellent vocal
solo by Miss Hewlett, of Charles
ton, Mo-, "Dearest Heart, Fare
WE'LL" came the essays of the A.
B: graduates:
Miss Leah Asbury, Higginsville,
Mo-, els our Age Degenerate ?"
Miss Matte Cauthorn, Moline,
Mo-, "Life is what we make it."
Miss Myrtle Dearborn, Kansas
City, Mo-, "Cranks."
Miss Maude How lett, Charles

Miss Ella Roberts, Mexico,
"Woman."
Miss Carrie Sproul, Mexico, GA
Determined will"
Miss Snodie Willis, Mexico,
"Talent worship"
Miss Dearborn, Miss Hart, Miss
Hewlett and Miss Danforth favor
ed the audience with vocal and
instrumental music.
At the conclusion of the reading
of the essays, President Yancev adj.
dressed the graduates at some
length, presenting the diplomas.
Two medals. one offered by S. B.
Cook and known as the "scholar-
ship prize" and the "home
medal" were awarded, Miss Efie
Cowgirl, of Hamilton, Mo-, captur-
ing them both. The benediction
was then pronounced by Rev. A.

most successful sessions ever held
at Hardin College.
