oeing present. The bride is as lovely, cul-
tured and charming young lady as one
ever meets, and we can wish her no hammer
lot than that her conunbial life be as replete
with bliss as her IN rits fully entitle her.
The young couple will make SedalIa their
future home.
IN speaking OF our representative Mr.. Rim
gothic jefferson City Tribune last week said ::
/ Although the youngest member of the
house, Mr.. Ringo holds the important posi-
ton of chairman of the committee on normal
schools and is also a member of the COM
mlttee on municipal corporations. Mr.. Ringo
| led the fight in the normal school matter
which was up for discussion last week, and
demonstrated his abundant ability to handle
any subject he may choose to tackle. He
has bright future.'
The Piedmont Dramatic Company, an
amateur organization of that town, last
week made their first appearance before the
foot-iigh's in the popular play 1.-THE Turn
OF the Tide" Our informant states that
the rendition was warmly received and
loudly applanded on every side-in fact the
whole performance was far more character
istic of professionals than half the travel
ing companies that visit the towns in this
section. Friends of Piedmont, why not
favor lronton with the light of your genius
some night in the near future? Well try
and give you full house.
The blizzard that arrived last Saturday
brought us the coolest weather we've had
this winter and for a couple of days the
mercury in the thermometer lowered around
the zero point. Snow fell to the depth of a
couple inches and the creeks and ponds were
covered with ice from two to three inches
thick. The ice men commenced filling their
houses Monday morning and harvested a
good crop that day. By the following morn
ing, though, the weather had so moderated
that the work was pursued with difficulty.
At this writing, Tuesday evening, the thaw
has become so general that the slush is simp-
ly horrible. Are we now safe to remark
Farewell, Winterw
The Jackson Cash Book is fighting the
air. II saws: eve can not give our sane
ton to the bill introduced in the Legislature
by Mr. RIngo of Iron county granting hold
ers of Normal diplomas the right to teach
in any county in the State without being eX-
amined by the county school commission
ers." Mr.. Ringo never introduced any such
bill. That is the law now. 1t passed two
years ago. Under this law a graduate from
State Normal School is authorized to teach
in the public schools of Missouri without
further examination from county commits
sioners or any one else. The Normal diploma
is authority to teach. AS chairman of Norm |
al School Committee it was Mr.. RS duty to |
introduce the Normal School law so it could |
be revised If Bro. Mcclure were to read up |
on Normal School Law, wholesome knowl |
edge might displace previousness.
Mr.. E. W. Guild, of Watseka, Ills, who
is the guest of Judge Russell. was in to see
us Saturday and gave us quite an interesting
talk on the late election in his state. Mr.. |
&. resides in Iroquoi> county, which has a
Republican majority of about 1900, and his |
account of the way the e. o. p. leaders, run |
the thing" over there reminds US of the |
halcyon days of yore when the Radicals had |
full sway in this section. Their methods |
there now seem to be the same as those |
which characterized their high handed pro- |
ceedings here twenty years ago, viz: any |
thing to place their men in 0 flee. In Iro- |
quois, the Republicans being in such a
majority, they had all the machinery IN their
hands and Dir. G. tells us they used their
advantage for all it was worth. At the
polls no challenges that were made by
Democrats received any attention but on the
other hand many Democrats were unaw-
fully deprived of their right of franchise.
Then, later on, when the offenders were
brought before the grand jury-seected by
Republican otiicialS-no indictments were
found, but the guilty ones allowed to 90
their way rejoicing Having against them
such odds rs these and an unlimited supply
of Doodle, Is it to be wondered that the !
Democrats were not victorious in the recent |
contest in that State: On the other hand |
should every lover of liberty, justice aud |
truth not feel proud of the glorious fight |
made Dy the Democratic party in Illinois:
John Wilson, the GoIored knight of the |
Razor, is still in DURANGO vile, with his
liberty, evidently, afar off. Shortly after
his Incarceration, of which we made notice
last week, Johns inamorata, Pussy Hunt,
coal black maiden of tender years, who is
servant at Capt. Zwart's, went before Judge
DiDger, and swore out a warrant against

The story is rather complicated, but the
facts In The case, as our reporter obtained
them at the preliminary exaIinetion, are
as follows: 1t seems that one night. g day
or two before his arrest, John went to the
house of a colOred resident in the west end,
where "Puss" was spending the evening,
and wanted her 10 accompany him to her
room where he wished to while away the
hours that interviewed the dawn. She re-
fused, when he pulled out razor and cut
to pieces the shawl SIZE wore. This fright
ened the girl who withdrew iato tie house,
and Wilson departed IN no amiaDis mood.
He then went to the girls room where.
after secreting some of the girls clothes in
an out-of-the-way place, he passed the
night. pussy, on going to her lodgings
next morning missed some of her wearing
apparel, anG in day or two, when the
love that once inspired teE had somewha:

the complaint above mentioned, Wilson
had his preliminary last saturday when he
was bound over to await the action OF the
grand jury, and, in default of bail, Is held
for safe keeping. Professah, the way of the
