The death of Gov. Marmaduks has

what they have often seen: that nc

THE LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Its Author Tells Us What 1t Means.
New LONDON. Mo. july 20. 1887

NEW LONDON, Mo-, July 20, 1887.
Hon. J. w. ALEXANDER:
Dear Sir--Replying to yours of the
18th inst, will say that in my opinion
the local option law, when adopted by
county or city, repeats the Ihdrnaacy
laJO, SO far as 1t relates to the sale of
Intoxicating liquors, except wine for
sacramental purposes or pure aNohol
for medicinal, art, scientific ~ me-
chanical purposes.
The local ption. law is in no sense a
grant of any right or privilege to any
vender of Intoxicating liquors.; on the
contrary it's every provision is to re-
strain under severe penalties the sale
of any kind of Intoxicating liquors ex-
cept those noted above. Under this
law the druggist can have no addition
al rights; any sale made by him must
be under all the requirements of the
pharmacy law; every right he had un-
der the pharmacy law except the right
to 'sell wine for Sacramen tai purposes
or pure alcohol for medicinal, art, sci
entific or mechanical purposes, Is to-
ken from him by the local option kaav.
The right that the druggist had under
the pharmacy law to sell pure alcohol
when prescribed by a physician is not
interfered with by the local option
law, but the right he previously en-
joyed under the pharmacy law to sell
any other Intoxicating liquor, such as
whisky, brandy, ale, beer, Rocky
Mountain Bitters,n ETC., is taken from
him by the local option loU. In other
| words, if your county should adopt the
local option law, my Judgment is, the
only kind of intoxicating liquor that
may be sold by any person, under any
circumstances a0hatosvcc-, or for any
purpose aohateuer, is the exceptions In
section s of the local option law. to
wit: Swine for sacramental purposes
or pure alcohol for medicinal, art, sci
entific or mechanical purposes Such
D0s certainly the understanding in the
Senate aolsen the provisions of this bill
Were under discussion, and such acas
my understanding AS ITS AUTHOR.
The physician cannot prescribe whis-
| ky, wine, gin, etc., for his patients,
nor can the druggist fill such prescrip-
tions If made by the physician. The
only remedy under the local option
law for snake bites' is pure alcohol

Several Lives Lost.
WICHITA, KAN, May IA strange
atmospherical phenomenon WAS Witnessed
at Maize, town west OF this city, yester-
day. A storm cloud bursted and extended
over space Of about 500 yards wide and
one mile in length. For half an hour the
ram came down in torrents. The heavens
were black, and darkness almost equal to
that Of night covered the entire
ares. Maize ia situsted on the
south bank Of the Arkansas.
An eye witness describes the rain IS
coming down in torrents, washing away
q number OF houses ana moving others
from their foundations. The house in
which family named Rocky lived was
taken up by the food, carried into the
Arkansas river and sunk, drowning
Rockby, his wife and two children. A
numbsr Of narrow escapes are reported
The water from the cloud seemed to
come straight down and could not have
been thicker had 1t fouad Its source from
lake in the air.

THE great tunnel through the Cascade
mountains on the Northern Pacific road is
5000 feet long, through solid rock nearly
an the way. When the nnal piercing is
accomplished there will be nothing left to
do but to lay track, and 1t is thought
that trains will be running through 1t
within two weeks. The tunnel was be-
gun early In 1885. and the contract WAS
for 81, 600, 600. The work has been car
ried on by electric light, power for which
is supplied by small mountain stream
which flows down the mountain and f.lls
directly over the mouth OF the tunnel.

cal that an editors life is not the an

not moved so much by national wrongs

Some persons are so fesrfully afflicted
with mental strsbismus that they cannot
recognize the truth. One OF the most
melancholy examples Of this sfliction is
Senator Ingalls, OF Kansas. The most fs-
millar political facts when transmitted by
the mind of Ingalls, become detected and
broken, like stick in the water. When
Ingalls, charged that the la:e Governor
Seymour of New York sympathizsd with
the southern rebellion ne was needless of
the fact that President Lincoln publicly
and officially thanked Governor Seymour
for his efficient services in behalf of the
Union cause In the darkest period Of the
civil war. A truer patriot than WAS the
late Hoiatio Seymour does not breathe
to-day. His memory cannot bs reached
by the charscterless espersions OF the
senatorial slandeIer from Kansas.

GALVESTON AND ARANSA6 PASS
The organization Of q strong syndicate
having representatives in all the leading
cities Of the state, for the purpose Of Sc
curing deep water at Arkansas Pass, does
not bode very good to Galveston's aspir-
atoms. Care seems to have been taken
in naming the directors to enlist very
general interest in the movement, thus
guarding against sectional opposition
thereto. TIE GAZETTE is not advised as
to the plan Of operations the projectors
of this new enterprise will pursue. II
they purpose following the example OF
Galveston and going to Congress for the
means they will of course make Glow
progress and have to fight Galveston's in
f1uence as well. They will at least, how
ever, in pursuing this plan, be on an
equal footing With, and have fully as fair

CONGRESSIONAL WRANeLEs,

| CONGRESSIONAL WRANGLES.
The IngslIs- Voorhees, debate in the
Senate has naturally attracted attention
to the personal relations Of members Of
that ordinarily grave and dignihsd
body. Many people who read the no,
passages Of the recent wrapgle-for II
was not worthy the Mans of debate-no
doubt waited to hesr Of challenges,
''pistols and coftse for two," and such
things. They will wait long time, fol
/. is not at sll probable such thing will
occur. The seemingly bitter tits on the
door of either House between Congress
men, are no indices whstever to the per-
sonal or social relations subsisting be.
tween the contestants. AS an almost
universal rule those who use in debate,
burning, singing words against each
other maintain the amenities and some
times the friendship Of social life.
When Thurman was In the Sen.
ate he and Eimunds were Of
ten apparently at dsggers points,
ca the floor they were the warmest
friends and preferred each others society
to that of their own colleagues or party
associates. Blaine and Ben Hill re-
sumed their personal friendship and SO
sid Lamar and Corkling. In Ingalls,
first speech this session he launched his
gall at the President. There is no
break in the social relations OF the two
and the ladies of the Kansas Senator's
family are received with cordially at the
White House BY Mrs. Cleveland. The
debate between Ingalls, and Blackburn
was almost as bitter rs the one week
ago to-day, but it is only three or four
days ago that Iugalls and Black
burn were seen acting as
judges at the races, taking drinks
together and apparently very friendly.
The public, at distance from the capital,
reads the excavations, the scathins
charges and taunss hurled by Senators at
each other and holds its breath
while 1t awaits the next chap
ter in what promises TO be
Z tragedy. But the tragedy never occurs
and the war Of words over social consid-
erations resume sway. II is very much
like opposing lawyers in court rooms,
who frequently, in The course If trials,
abuse and IRE away at each other, excit-
ing the listeners, and sometimes leaving
the conviction in the minds Of listeners
that either or both Of the vituperative
lawyers are greater rascals than the man
on trial. But court adjourned, and the
lawyers hob-nob and laugh with each
other as though nothing but compliments
had passed between them. So 1t Is in
Congress, and especially In the Senatorial
branch thereof. Instead Of more practi-
cal hostility between Ingalls, and voor-
hees, it is more likely, judging from pre-
cedent, that before the session is over
they will be on speaking terms again.
Congressman found out long ago that
men who are to meet in the same body
and legislate for the common good, must
peIforce maintain the comities of social
life II they desire to have influence and
usefulness.
