Has a Hard Skull.
Samuel Lewis, a negro employed at
the Shickle-Harrison Iron Foundry in
ST. Louis, ought to be grateful that his
skull possesses adamantine qualities.
While he was at work, an iron ball
weighing four pounds dropped on his
head and bounded off. An examination
of Lewis head showed that he sustained
only a slight scalp wound.

received letter in reply to one written
concerning the building of the Sabine
Pass & Duluth railroad. 1t is pro-
posed to hold a meeting at Sedalia
about December Is. The interest in

The Antitrust Law.
Secretary of State Lesueur and Attor-
ney-General John NJ. Wood were in st.
Louis few days ago. Secretary Lesueur
told reporter that the main object of
his visit was in relation to the anti
trust law. ''The Acknowledgement and
myself" he said, s'will confer with Cir
cuit-Attorney Glover concerning certain
st. Louis corporations that have not
complied with the test oath as
to their arrangements and facil-
tiles for pooling and the forma-
ton of trusts. 1 would prefer not
to name those corporations at this stage
of the game, for obvious reasons;
neither would I like to outline my
policy in advance. There are about
seven hundred corporations in the State
that have failed to comply with the
law, and at least two hundred and fifty
foreign corporations. The Missouri
companies will have their charters re-
voked as fast as the Department of
State can get around to them. OF course
we can not revoke the charters of cor
porations having headquarters outside
of the State, but we will lodge informa-
ton against them with various prose-
cuting-attorneys as rapidly as possible.
Killed a Cripple.
A few days ago John Gamewell, who
was crippled in one arm and about sixty |
years old, visited the saloon of Joseph |
Schwarzendahl, in ST. Louis, where he |
drank until he was intoxicated. He |
lacked few cents of paying his bar bill, |
and Schwarzendahl knocked the old I
cripple down. His head struck the
street curbing, and he died in few
minutes. The slayer is a young man.
Additional Shortage.
An additional shortage of $1,000 Ia t
1885 has been found in the accounts of I
Collector Tandy II. Trice, of I
st. Joseph.
