Quoting an item TO the effect that
. long established Democratic daily
newspaper Of Little Rock had been
boyc0ited because Its editor had
been manly enough to denounce the
political murder Of John NJ. Clayton,
he says:
"a couple OF weeks ago we passed

aud God fOrsaken Arkansas town
where Clayton was murdered, and
saw the house In which the deed
WAS done. IL IL one OF those typical
Arkansas towns Of about 300 lnhab-

KANSAS mortgages have been .
familiar theme Of certain OF the
eastern newspapers with AEoic
notions about business and tremen-
dOus fear that their constituencies
might move west and grow up with
the country Into . condition Of hap
piness and prosperity. IL II peril
nent 20 note, therefore, that the
farms In Ohio are OFnsmented with
mortgages amounting to llH mil
lions; Indiana agriculturalists are
flying signals Of distress In the
shape Of ! o US for 835 millions; u
will cost Michigan farmers 500 mil
lions to get out Of the hole, and the
debt Of the KAnsans In the same bus
mess II only 2S5 millions. These
figures speak for Reconsideration.
We believe all those figures are
exaggerated. They were cooked for
consumption In the last campaign.
They should not be held up a. bogeys
TO brighten the timid any longer, at
any rate. Very many Of the people
are in debt, u IL true. But this
fact doesn't seem 10 prevent the
country from iOurishIng like .
green bay tree. Everything 10 going
right along. Even short crops for .
year don't appear 10 stop things.
The wealth Of the country il greater
than that Of any other country.
Everybody is happy except . few
crOakers, aud these will find some
thing TO kick" about when they

mortgages are q hundred millions or
less or more, Kansas IL advancing
with rapid strides TO the front rank.

We visited Mexico on Wednes-

and I. &. S%purlock, to witness the
public installation of Mexico lodge
Knights of Phythias officers. The

conducted the ceremonies, and a
most interesting and elaborate
programme had been arranged for
the occasion. There was vocal and
instrumental music, addresses, re-
citations. and an enjoyable time
generally. 1t was a are treat in
deed, and the affair reflects credi,
on the Mexico Knights. An oyster
supper was the last thing on the
programme.

This is all that Remains of the
Merry Times Enjoyed at
Union Hall.

Union hall. on Flat Rock, Is
closed. Its proprietor, Charlie
Douglas, coloyed, has gene to
Egypt, Illinois, III search of tresher
fields. The hall was closed Thurs
day night with Il grand farewell
dance for Charities benefit. All
Flat Rock was there i'll holiday at
tire, and the way the nickles and
dimes poured into the treasurer's
Golfer would make Il side show man
ager weep with envy.
: The dance began at 9 O'Clock
and the merrv-making continued
until long after the midnight hour.
Douglas. Of coulsc, was the lion Of
the evening and for hours al Il
stretch he was the center Of an adj.
miring group of charming black, or,
rather. chestnut bellies If Fiat Rock.
Douglas wore Il neat fitting "'splke-
tall with tight trousers of black
and white striped material. His
hair vas done up in the Prince Ed
ward style. and Il b"utonicrre of
Nareslai Neil roses covered the
left lapel Of his coat. He was the
very embodiment of grace and ease
and tits no wonder that the ladies
OF Flat Rock so openly evinced
their regret At his departure. eve
is SO sorry you's goin' to depart,
Mista' Douglass" said one sorrcl
damSel, 40 you's de on'y Gen'man
in ouah crowd who dance De
Je'sey or de Iia'vard."
Music was furnished for the oc-
%casion by Prot, John Lyons or
chestra the members OF which were
en>conced behind Il screen of rare
exotic plants, whose perfume rose
high above that of the native article
OF the same name, present. At
1880 refreshments were served in
elegant style. Douglas presided
in his own inimitablc manner. At
ter supper the dance was resumed
and continued until the dusky
maidens felt that it was time to 90
home. Their gallant cavaliers at
once donned their turs and great
coats and escorted them from the
building, and so the last grand en-
tertainment at Union Hall, under
the old management, was brought
to ID close.
This morning the weather strips
on the outside of the building flap
ped drearily in the winter wind,
and as the air crept under the
door and through the empty rooms
q wall like the cry Of Alice Gray's
ghost went up and died away as
a requiem. The house is closed as
a dance hall for good a tin sign
announces above the door that it is
vet "Iuniun Haul" but the re-
Iigjous meeting in the adjoining
church willnow 90 on undisturbed.

Missouri's Stuffed Elephant.

JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. l7.-Dr.
Laws and his ''stuffed elephant
are again being discussed. The
State board of regents have, by one
OF their acts, at the time of the
purchase of the animal, placed the
State under the necessity of buying
the same. When the elephant az
rived at the university it was found
too large to gel. through the door,
SO a hole large enough to admit it
was made in the wall. Soon after
the State board of regents met and
passed an order fo~rbidding any
more holes being torn in the wall.
The elephant is in the building
and cannot be gotten out, so il
seems that the State must buy the
creature.
