JEFFERSON Cry, No., July "a
Gov. Francis is in New York City
and from a reliable source it trans
pired to-day that he is preparing
the way for worlds exposition at
st. Louis in the year 1892, to cele-
brate the 40oth anniversary of the
discovery of America by Columbus.
The Governor conceived the idea
some time ago, but it was only un-
til lately that he had any time to
put Ii into execution. During fire.
quent visits to st. Louis he has had
interviews with the management of
the Fair and the Exposition and
with well-known public spirited
citizens, with the purpose of arous-
ing an interest IN the project, and
as result meeting will be called
to take steps toward an erganiza-
ton some time in August.
The Governors present mission
is, tits said, to ascertain all he can
as to what influences should be
used to effect the location. Mis-
souri, as State, outside of her in

Sam Britt, a colored man who

years ago for stealing. was released
Saturday and returned from
Jefferson City in charge of Capt.
Todd, of the prison force. Capt.
Todd came over with the released
convict for the reason that Britt
recently failed mentally and Is now
in a state of imbecility. He was
turned over to the county authori-

Judge Guthrie ordered his release
for a time. Britt recently escaped
at Jefferson, but was shot and re-

THROUGH A TRESTLE.
A Passenger Train on the Omaha
ana st. Louis Road Wrecked.

STANBERRY, Mo-, July 25.-At 9
o'clock last night an east-bound
passenger train on the Omaha and
st. Louis Railway went through a
bridge which spanned a wide hol-
low Is miles west of the city. The
engine passed over in safety. The
mail ear rolled down the embank-
ment, while the smoking car fell to
the bottom of ravine with the rear
of baggage car resting on one end
and the front of the chair car on
the other. The sleeper remained
on the rails. A man named Chance,
of Centralia, No., was injured in
the side, and Mrs. Maud johnson,
of Moberly, was injured about the
head. They are being cared for at
the Commercial Hotel in this city.
Their injuries are not dangerous.
The cars were badly wrecked, and
the trestle demolished. The road
will probably be open tomorrow.

Corporal Tanner.
From Texas siftings


If Corporal Tanner keeps on dis.
covering soldiers who were injured
during the war, the southern ex-
soldiers will hardly be able to un-
derstand why they didn't win.
Tanners desire to pension as many
people as possible is almost on a
par with suggestion in the Wo-
mans Journal, which proposed
that the government pension for
life every woman, rich or poor,
sick or we'll, who has ever been a
mother. Possibly the idea might
have been extended to include the
descendants of all who have been
mothers. Possibly Tanner may ul-
timately want to pension all who
talked about going to the war.

The citizens of Palo Alto county

telegraph ''got on a big spree and
after beating his mother until she
was insensible, attempted to kill
her with a butcher-knlfe." AS an
illustration of what brute, filled

excellent text for a prohibition

that the story comes from pro-
hibition State where the chief end
of the constabulary is to fight the

We are fully confident that more

and better attractions will be found
up at Mexico than any out
slider can realize, and hence,
if the people can attend but one
fair away from home, this is the

ance. There is plenty of hotel
room, fine grounds easy of access,
and most hospitable people to
make all comfortable.
The timing and the judging and
the starting at Mexico must be well

done so thoroughly professional
that the records made will be beyond
dispute. We fully expect some
good records to be made though on

Rilla Rounds Quisenberry Friday

Graumuller Again.

Gustav Graumuller, the young
German whose miraculous recovery
from what was deemed fatal injury
has been the cause of SO much won
der, is again on the high road to the
grave. He was taken to the coun-
ty infrmary Friday and given
over to the authorities. After a
hearty supper he retired and moth
ing more was thought of him until
Saturday, at breakfast time,
when he could not be found. 1t
was soon learned that he had
eluded the attendants within the
night and made his escape. His
mind being little unbalanced yet
as a result of the injury to his
head, he was unable to locate the
road to the city and for several
hours he roamed about the fields.
1t was several hours before he got
down town and when he reached
the county physician's Office he
was nearer dead than alive as a re"
suit of the unusual exercise. He
was put to bed at the Delmonico
and his recovery is among the i'm
probabilities.

One of the most remarkable of
the well-attested cases of longevity
is that of Macy Ferenz, who is now
several years older than the United
States. He is 1913 years old, hav-
ing been born in Hungary one year
before Napoleon Bonaparte was
born in Corsica. He enlisted in
the Austrian army in 1898, and was
in all the campaigns against Napo-
leon for 20 years up to the close at
Waterloo. He was born a peasant
and having survived SO many
changes of the kaleidoscope of en-
pire, he is peasant still, waiting
for death in his native village.

Bob Burdette IS nov preaching
in Pennsylvania, but he varies his
clerical labors by dipping into lit
era,ure occasionally. He is to edit
the humorous department in LIP
pincott's Magazine, Of late he has
been apparently more occupied
with theology than with fun, few
letters that he has written haveing
been quoted. It is question, too,
whether a mans wit survives his
fortleth year. After that the real
ties of life SO press upon him that
he has very little time for fun. He
he is more apt to cultivate sarcasm
than humor. The strain of being
perpetually funny is too intense
to last long anyway.

Mary Smitzimmer Saved From
Death-Her Story.

The sanitarium of DR.. Milen is
doing fiourishing business. Prob
ably the most remarkable case in
the building, however, is that of
Mary Smitzimmer. The lady now
eats like harvest hand and is rap
idly becoming robust. A fortnight
ago her life was despaired of and she
ate almost nothing. In fact, she
at times was unable to retain a
spoonful of milk on her stomach.
The patient had not been out of
bed for nine months when she be-
gan taking treatment and she was
brought to the sanitarium in car
riage. She now takes morning
walks and has no difficulty in pass
ing from her room down to the
treatment of the sanitarium. This
walk in itself includes the going up
and down of long stairway.
Among the patients recently ad-
mitted to the sanitarium is Will
liam L. Keeton, of Thompson.

ANOTHER SUCCESS.
/ The Harvesters Give Another
| Charming Entertainment
| to q Crowded House.

The Harvesters scored their usu-
al success at the Ferris Grand Fri
day eve. The house was packed
with splendid audience that was
appreciative in high degree.
Every number rendered was gener-
ously and deservedly applauded.
Miss Quisenberry was received
with delight and in a moment had
won her way fairly to the hearts of
her audience. With each selection
the wide range of her ability be-
came more noticeable and when
the curtain fell after the last num-
Der the auditors felt that they had
listened to one of the most gifted
young ladies in the land. Her
power is certainly remarkable.
Every one of the large number of
selections was as widely different
from the other in their natures as
day is different from night. This
tact more strongly brought out Miss
Quisenberry's ability as reader.
1t is safe to say that this charming
young lady has indeed bright
future, and her scores of friends in
this city will delight to hear of her
success. The selections rendered
by her last night are as follows:
CXXI Psalm, "The First Quar-
rel," "Nine Sultors," Scene from
"Much Ado About Nothing" "My
Young 'Un," "Half way Doin's,"
"First Settlers Story "The
Course of True Love-" A Chapter

A farmer who knows just what
he is talking about, hits the nail on
the head when he says nothing pays
better than good roads. 1t costs
something to secure them, but they
are the arteries which connect city
and country, along which the life
currents perpetually flow. Bad
roads, full of chuck holes, kill
time, team and temper. Be sure
then that money thus intelligently
expended is wisely invested and
sure to realize future results.
