LADDoNIA, Mo-, Nov. 20.-Since
the election the "tariff Debates
have ceased /; yet we have a local
fight for office, and although it is
not SO broad, it is quite as intense
with those engaged in it, as the
election debates were, and they
work, If possible, with more zeal.
We mean the fight for the post-of-
flee, which commenced the day af-
ter the election, and wakes warmer
and warmer as time flies away.
Up to the present time there are
twenty-five gentlemen and sixteen
ladies who want to serve the dear
people by handing cut their mail.
They all did good service in work

would indeed be hard to say which
of the forty-one applicants would
be the most deserving.

"nhiS is a Cows

A COW is an animal with -four
legs on the under side. The tail is
longer than the legs, but is not used
to stand on. The cow kills flies
with its tail. A COW has big ears
that wiggles on hinges; SO does their
tail. The COW is bigger than the
calf, but not so big as an elephant.
She is made so small that she can
GO in the barn when nobody is
looking. Some cows are black and
some hook. A dog was hooked
once. She tossed the dog that
worried the cat that killed the rat.
Black cows give white milk /; so do
other COWS. Milkmen sell milk to
buy their little girls dresses, which
they put in water and chalk. Cows

Late Monday afternoon, in st.
Louis, frankie Wright, daughter
of DIR. Wright, of Moberly, suicid-
ed by taking morphine. Her story
is a sad one. The girl was of good
character. and the dependency
which caused her to seek death as
a relief was due entirely to her in
ability to provide for herself in an
honest manner. She went there from
Moberly, Mo-, several months ago
and went to an old friend, Mrs.
Johnson of 1919 Pine street. She
was looking for employment. She
answered an advertisement of a
man in Black Rock, Ark, who said
he wanted a companion for his
daughter, but who really wanted a
companion for himself. She un-
dertook the journey to Black
Rock, Arkansas, but learning the
reai~ character of the situation re-
turned to St. Louis. Her search
for employment there vas not sue.
cessful, and Monday she received
a reply to a letter she had written
her sister, Mollie, who lives in
Moberly, Mo-, informing her that
nc assistance could be given her,
and asking her not to "write any
more to me-" Forsaken by hei
friends, without money, home OF
hope, the poor girl sought nepcnthe
in deadly morphine. The crea-
lures dying request was that she
be buried In the lot of her father at
Moberly. Nothing has been heard
from the relatives of the unfortu-
nate and she will likely be buried
decently in st. Louis, at the ex-
pense of Samuel w. Cupples, a
philanthropist of that city.

succeeded in winning the girl, and
was married to her one month ago.
