THE JUDGE AND A BULL.
Judge Elijah Rob1nson's Expert
ence With an Infuriated
Bull.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo-, September
5.-Judge Elijah Robinson, recent
candidate for Congress from the
Seventh District, and Green Thomp-
son, prominent citizen of Frank
ford, sat in Strauss barber shop
yesterday morning thoroughly
lathered and ready for a shave.
They were both silent, the Judge
probably rejecting over the fick-
leness of politics as evidenced by
the nomination Of Dick Norton,
when an infur1ated bull came dash
Ing down the street with nostrils
distended, eyes afame and tail
curled defiantly in the air, and
with the noise and suddennsss OF
an escaped cyclone reared upon his
hindmost feet and pranced into the
shop with below that walked the
echoes for miles. One glance was
enough for the Judge and less than
that sufficed for Thompson. They
offered up instantaneous invoca-
tions for protective blessings, then
lit out through a side door and
went bowling along Main street
with lather dripping and towels at
half-lnast at sprinting gait that
would easily have distanced Joe
Murphy.

MONTGOMERY MARRIED.
Acquitted of Murder and Married
Second Time in Less

Murphy

For young man of 26 years,
Billy Montgomery, late of Carroll
ton, Illinois, has had lots of ex-
perience. Montgomery does not
look to be over 20 years old, yet
he was married Thursday for
the second time. He has a child
living back in Illinois, and last
winter he killed his brother-in-law
J. w. Davidson, in Green county,
his home State. 1t will be re-
membered that Montgomery was
recognized here by Joe Weiner,
of this city, who formerly lived
in Carrollton, and the local
authorities at once placed their
man under arrest. He had
been fugitive from Illinois justice
sometime when apprehended and
during his perigrinations through
this section of Missouri he met
Miss Lille May Lewis, of Wells.
vile, whose age is about eighteen
Soon after he was arrested and
taken home by the Sheriff of Green
county, ILL.,, and at the March term
o. c.. ii: Court in that county he
was acquitted on the grounds o
self defense. He at once returned
to Mexico and Thursday was
married to the girl from Mont
gomery county by Squire J. J
Winscott.

John G. Kennedy used to be a
policeman in Brooklyn, N. Y. He
fell in love with Miss Martha A.
Wood, and in a rash moment pro-
posed to marry her. For some
reason he changed his mind. They
say women are fiekle, but police
men are likewise an uncertain
quantity. Miss Wood pursued
Kennedy first on a criminal charge
and lastly for breach of promise.
On the last she obtained judg-
ment for s15, 900; on the first she
threw him in states prison fol-
four years. He served his time
and was discharged, Miss Woods
was waiting for him with second
warrant, but the prison authorities
appreciating the fact that if she go'
her clutches on him he never
would escape, let him go by an
other way and Kennedy has fled te
Canada.

Some Tariff Questions.

Here are few questions that the
average protection will fight shy Of.
They are taken from the New York
Standard:
/. Should each subject ofgovern-
ment contribute to its support in
ratio to the benefits received and
ability to pay?
2. Does increased cost of an arti-
Gle diminish demand and consump-
ton, and also the means of pur-
chase?
3. If the principle Of protection
is just, does it apply to state snd
individual as well as to the nation?
4. Should the golden rule or the
law.of reciprocity be practiced in
trade and commerce?
5. Is it a violation of natural
right to prevent a person from dis
posing of the result of his labor, OF
the purchase of the labor of another,
without being taxed?
6. Is it better to exchange pro.
ducts for these that can be produced
cheaper than to produce them our.
selves at greater expense?
Z. Do custom houses embarrass
trade and furnish inducements to
dishonesty, smuggling and bribery3
s. Does protection foster selfish.
ness and bribe men to forsake
principle for profit, to enrich the
few at the expense of the many?
8. Does a country become wealth
ier when her imports exceed hel
exports?

Wood for second choice. These
ten votes from Audrain, with six
from Rails and my eighteen, would
have given ilim thirty-four votes
and the nomination. Mind you,
100 ballots had been taken. We
were engaged in the second days
session of the convention. | had
made every offer to Mr.. McDear-
men and Mr.. Wood that could
make. Another dead lock seemed
imminent, and then mutual friends
talked to Judge Robinson and my
self, urging us TO compromise the
matter, bury our differences, unite
our friends and heal up the enmities
engendered in our heated and pro-
longed canvasses.
Judge Robinson and myself are
both young men, born in the same
county, studied law in the same of
fee, practiced law at the same bar
for years; neighbors all our lives,
and for six years we had been 60
ing into conventions in our district,
decidedly the strongest men in the
conventions, and yet cutting each
others throats. l am entirely sat
isfied Judge Robinson was the first
choice of the majority of the Dem
ocrats of the district if | was out of
the way, and that I was the first
choice of the maj jority if Judge Rob-
inson was out of the way.
And so we agreed to comprom-
Use. Judge Robinson selected his
friend, Mr.. Hughlett of Montgom-
cry, and I selected my friend, Mr..
Dryden of Lincoln, and we put it
in the hands of these gentlemen to
determine which of us should re-
tire from the contest. These gen.
tlemen, unable to agree otherwise,
adopted method sanctioned by the
constitution and laws Of the State
of Missouri, and by common-sanse
and fairness. The constitution of
1875 directed that the three judges
of the St. Louis Court of Appeals
should determine by lot the dura-
tion of their several terms of office,
which shall be respectively four,
eight and twelve years, and certify
the result to the Secretary of State. "
Similar provisions are to be found
in various laws of this and other
States.
"Mr. Hughlett and Mr.. Dryden
likewise submitted to the arbitra-
ment of chance that which they
were unable otherwise to amicably
determine. The choics fcll on me,
and Judge Robinson, in pursuance
of his agreement, withdrew his
name from before the convention
There was absolutely no agreement
that we were to control or attempt
to control our votes one for the
other, bat simply to determine
which should withdraw. After
Judge Robinson's withdrawal Pike
gave me her thirteen votes, Mont
gomery, eight votes-which were
instructed for me for second choice
Warren her three votes, St
Charles, eight votes; Lincoln, nine
votes, and Franklin nine votes,
making fifty votes out of sixty-six
and then the nomination was made
unanimous. AS to the charge that
there was an agreement to pay
81 600, or any other sum, for the
purpose Of paying expenses, or fol
any purpose whatever, there is alb.
solutely no truth in it. There was
absolutely no agreement further
than as heretofore stated; simply
that determination was to be ar.
rived at as to which-Judge Rob
inson or myself-should Withdraw
from the contest.

The Prayer of the Republican
Party.

Oh, Lord, thou knowest our upris-
ing and especially our down set
ting. Thou knowest our sins and
understandest that we have done
many wicked things in the sight of
the people, and that we no longer
have favor in their sight. Thou
knowest that the negro has for
saken our party, and that we can
no longer make them believe our
campaign tales that the Democrats
will put them back in slavery. Oh,
that we could pull the wool over
their eyes as of yore, and get them
to put us in power once more.
Thou knowest that tho Southern
Republicans no longer cleave to
US. Thou knowest that the people
Of the North no longer have faith in
the Bloody Shirt" and that we
are besieged on the right and on
the left by ''mugwumps." Thou
knowest that Cleveland's message
has knocked all the wind oua of
the "tariff tales" that New York
is hopelessly Democratic; that Ohio
is doubtful, and that we no longer
count on Indiana. Thou knowest
how our servants Malone and Rid
dleberger, desponded and died in
Virginia. Thou knowest that we
have no leader, now that our
"Plumed Knight" has been SO
ruthiessly slaughtered and that we
his people must be scattered an
sheep havingr.o shepherd to be de.
voured by "mugwumps" and weak
knees. Now we ask that our sins
and iniquities be blottcd from the
history of this government. Blot
out the name of Joyce, Avery, Nc
Donald, Mckee, Gunther and all
who walked crooked in the sight of
the people, or sold, or made, or
drank crooked whisky, and Oh
Lord, give US power to blet out of
Remembrance" the name of
Belknap, of Hayes and the eight
against seven Credit Mobilier.
Star Route contracts and numerous
i. other wrong doings, and give us
favor with the people. Give us
back the negro vote and return US
the Southern Republicans with
tens OF thousands Of mugwumps
ia the North. Give us stump
speakers in Indiana, and orators
in Ohio. Give US money by the
millions, and above all give us a
man TO beat Cleveland, for our
sake, Amen.-Scott City Sentinel.

PLUCKY MISS JOHNSON.
She Marches an Insulting Tramp
From the House With
Pistol.

Several mornings ago while Miss
Stella Johnson was alone at her
home ON West Love street, she was
surprised to see a burly tramp
standing in front of a window, look
ing in the house. He spoke the
moment she looked up, and asked
for something to eat. Miss john
son answered that there were no
cooked victuals in the house,
whereupon the tramp insultingly
asked if she couldn't cook him a
breakfast.
81 can cook a breakfast for you, "
replied the young lady, "but ]
WON'T
."Well, continued the tramp, ,whe
was respectfully dressed, 81 will
give you just ten minutes to get up
a good meal for me-" AS he con.
cluded he drew silver watch from
his pocket and noted the time
During the conversation Miss John.
son was kneeling before a trunk,
! the contents of which she was sort.
ing. AS the intruder completed
his last sentence, she reached down
to the bottom of the trunk, and
picking up a revolver, pointed it at
the tramp. The gesture was accom-.
panied by this cool remark:
'And l will give you just two
minutes to leave the place"
The tramp didn't wait for the
two minutes to expire. In less than
two seconds he had crossed the
fence and G moment later was sour
rying down the road.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Fifteen Months Old Child of
Noble Barnes Scalded Fatally.

A fifteen months old child of
Noble Barnes, who resides just
south of Mexico, fell into bucket
of boiling water at the home OF Its
parents Friday night and in a few
hours died of the injury. The lit
tie fellow was playing about
the vessel, which stood on the
floor, and in some way fell in. The
remains of the unfortunate little
one were inferred at Sunrise, north
of Mexico, Saturday.
The parents of the child are well
known in this city and in their be-
reavement have the sympathies oi
a host of friends and relatives.
