Breeders of Shorthorns.

S. ?. Emmons, of Mexico, Sec
retary of the North Missouri Breed
ers' Association, is one of the larp-
est breeders in the county, having
about 100 head of thoroughbred
Shorthorns. He ssld at the recent
sale Is head among which was
Baron Cruickshank, a red bull
calved June %, 1887, sired by
Airdrie Joe Young Mary bull.
The grand dam of the bull, Imp.
Sybill Is, was bred by A Cruick-
shank, Scotland. Mr.. J. M. Scott,
Huntsville, No., bought him for
sl3s, the highest price paid for a
bull. Red Rose, Mr.. Emmons'
four-year-old Agatha cow, was sold
to John Armistead, Mexico, for
s126, the second highest price paid
for COW.

Mo-, sold at this sale Is head.
These gentlemen are extensive
breeders, probably the most ex-
tensive In Galloway county and for
quality of stock few can equal
them. They sold nothing but
yearlings, excepting one two-year-
heifer, and all were greatly ad-
mired. The Browns went to Chica-
go last fall, to the cattle sales, and
selected from all the herds repre-
sented there a young Cruickshank
bull, from Luther Adams herd of
Scotch bred Shorthorns that was
pronounced by all the leading cat
tie men the best bull there, and
brought him home to head their

The Betting Man.

The betting man maketh himself
very conspicuous about these days.
He scenteth the election from
afar, and gathereth together shekels
with which to bluff the tlmid and
moneyless.
Where the better obtaineth his
funds with which to bet is what
maketh his friends to marvel ex-
ceedingly, for he is rarely known to
work.
"Behold, he acteth for a syn
dicate," saith one.
cor perhaps the money is coun-
terfit,' saith another.
But he continueth to shake his
shekels in public places and chal-
lenge men to bet.
Sometimes the betting man is
caught without funds, but in the
ardor of controversy. when he de-
bateth the tariff, and cryeth out
against trusts, and stampeth
his foot on free trade, or jibeth at
protection, he forgeteth that and
shouteth, "What will you bet ?"
His adversary meeteth him, and
produceth a roll of wealth, which
he cannot cover, and then it is that
the cry goeth up against the betting
man, like the roar of a mighty sea
-"Put up or shut up!'

Keene'S ENLARGEMENT.

The sale of seats for Keene is
fair and the prospects for the
tragedian's appearance here are
good. Col. Crumbaugh returned
to Columbia this afternoon, but

meantime, seats can be secured at
Carter's.
The sale of seats for Keene's
Columbia engagement is remarka-
BILE. All the students and faculties
of the schools in the Athens are to
see the eminent actor. 1t is pre-
sumed that Hardin College, this
city, will follow the example OF

Exit Sackv1IIe-West.

Secretary Bayard has very prop
erly given his lordship, Sackville-
West, his walking papers and to-
day the diplomatic relations exist
ing between this government and
the indiscreet British diplomant
are severed.
tits manifestly improper that a
foreign minister should disparage
the official integrity of the chief
ruler of the country to which he is
accredited. Lord Sackville's error
was even more glaring because he
impugned the honor not of the
President alone, but of all Of the
American officials and legislators
engaged in the diplomatic negotia-
tions with England over the fishery
question. Moreover, the opinion
which Lord Sackvill so freely ex-
pressed was intended to influence
the election. He calls it a personal
opinion, but in principle an at
tempt to influence one voter by
by means of private letter, differs
not in the least from an effort to
influence a thousand voters by
means of speech or newspaper
article. Judged by the delicate
laws of diplomatic propriety Lord
Sackville is an offensive partisan.
He has shown pernicious activity.
1t is right and proper that he
should go.

KIDS KNOCKING.
Some of the Small Boys Arrested
for Fighting-Must be
Stopped.

Some of the school boys have
been indulging in fights after
school and a SON of ex-postmaster
Woodward came near being killed
last Thursday by being hit in the
head with brick. There was
another fight Friday and young
Burhop came out of it looking like
he had been through threshing
machine. Several of the boys were
arrested and locked up for little
while after which they were
given a good solid lecture by
the Recorder. Next time they will
get something stronger. The
small boy must be made to know
his place, and that he has no more
right to fight than his elders. We
trust this will be tie end of the
matter and that node of our
boys will have to GO to the rock
pile and disgrace themselves and
their parents,

you MUST N'r BET.
If You do, the Law May Step in
and Take O Hand.

The prevalence of the gambling
spirit among politicians recently,
and the recklessness shown by
some of them in making their wa
gers. shows that the provisions of
the State relating to gambling are
not generally known. In chapter
2O6, Revised Statutes, the follow
ing is found:
Section %. Every person who
shall bet or wager any money er
property, or other valuable thing
on the result of any election au.
thorized by the Constitution and
laws of the United States or of this
State, or on any vote to be given at
such election, Or who shall know
ingly become stakeholder of any
such bet or wager, shall be punish
ed by fine, not exceeding $50.
Chapter "A. Revised Statutes,
contains the following:
Section Z. Betting on elections,
gaming: Bets and wagers on cleo
ton authorized by the Constitution
and laws of this State are gaming
within the meaning of this act.
Section s. Every stakeholder
who shall knowingly receive any
money or property, staked upon
any betting declared gaming by the
foregoing provisions, shall be liable
to the party who placed such
money Or property IN his hands,
both before and after the termina-
ton of such bet; and the delivery
of the money or property to the
winner shall be no defense to any
action brought by the losing party
for the recovery thereof; provided,
that no stakeholder shall be liable
afterwards, unless demand has
been made of such stakeholder for
the money or property in his pos
session previous to the time agreed
upon by the parties for the deter
mination of the bet or wager.
Section 8. Any action for money
or property brought under this
chapter shall be commenced within
three months from the time the
right of action accrued, and not
afterwards.

MIR. BLAINE.

The cheyalier is becoming both
caustic and mad; signs, usually of a
conviction of anticipated defeat,
Mr.. Blaine and family travelled in
Europe, carrying or bringing with
them twenty-five trunks. Gov.
Hill made allusion to the plenti-
tude of dry goods brought ever by
the Plumea knight, which aroused
his anger and uncorked the vials OF
his sarcasm. Nevertheless the war
wakes warm and the surging ranks
of the opposition, in New York and
Indiana, give promise of their
rout and of the victory of Cleveland
and the Old Roman. We shall be
pleased at Mr.. Blaine's leisure
hereafter; we believe it viii be less
injuriously utilized as q citizen
than as q cabinet officer.

COOP Old Aquilla jones, whom
Tom Hendricks had appointed
Postmaster of Indianapolis, is a
very sharp thorn in the side of the
Hoosler Republican. They are
continually complaining of him to
the Post-office Department. Lately
they accused him of sending out
letters without cancelling the
stamps upon them. Then he pro-
cured Il die az big as a silver dol
Jar that prints cleveland and

ever since. Still the unreasonable
Indiana Republicans do not seem
to be satisfied.

Morgan Day, electrician, was
working on the street lamp at the
corner Of Promenade and Water
streets last night, when he chanced
to put his hand on bare guy wire.
Before one could pronounce the
name of rnan known as Jack Rob-
inson, Mr.. Day was on his back in
the mud. The electric shock laid
him out completely and it is mira
culous that it did not kill him. 1t
seems that the current had become
grounded" and when Mr.. Day,
standing on the wet ground,
touched the wire, it found an easy
passage to terra frma through his

was of bringing to the mind of the
average citizen some very solid
political truths. Take, for in
stance, the other day in a speech in
Indiana, where he asked, "Why
are Democrats in favor of tariff re-
form?" and the answer he supplied
was this: "Because out of every
hundred Democrats you meet, fully
ninety will be workingmen.'' True
enough; and why are the Republi-
cans in favor of a protective tariff ?
Because most of the manufacturers
and tariff barons are Republicans.

THE great and only Phineas T.
Barnum made a speech up in
Bridgeport Saturday and declared
his unalterable determination of
selling out all his property in that
pretty town if President Cleve-
land is reelected" He made the
same offer in 1884, but his houses
and real estate still remain in his
possession. 1t is a good deal like
Mrs. Micawber's reiterated asser-
tion that she will never under any
circumstances desert Mr.. Micaw-
ber. Nobody ever wanted her to,
and nobody cares particularly
whether Mr.. Barnum sells his real
estate or not, SO long as he gives us
a good circus when the daisies
