of the fair. The time made and
the premiums awarded will be
given next week.
Mrs. Logan declines to con-
sider the appointment of herself to
the position made vacant by the
removal of Corporal Tanner.
The capital of Europe is
now competing with American
capital in this country, and money
is becoming cheaper. This is the
kind of competition that our coun-
try can stand without any detri-
ment to It's interests or prosperity.
Major William Warner has
declined the appointment of Com
missioner of Pensions. In this he
has shown wisdom. 1t would not
be reasonable to give an entire de-
partment to Missouri. Beside,
there is something better ahead
for Major Warner.
If the present Administra-
tion has been fully and fairly ad-
vised on the political situation in
Missouri, Mr.. Filley will be Civ
cn the Post Office in st. Louis, if
he wants it. That is, if there is a
desire on the part of the admins
tration to recognize one who can
do more for the Republican party
of Missouri than any other man in
the state.
1t is said that the Brown
Sequard elixir, when injected into
the human system, has q peculiar
effect on the patient If the elixir
is the product of lamb the patient,
bleats and has n "hankering" after
grass; if it is of dog the patient
growls, and so on through the
list. The peculiar sounds emanat-
ing from the Journal office for
several weeks, leads to the sup
position that the Journal Editor
has had injected into his system,
a dose of elixir, which is the pro-
duct of macerated donkey.
Col. Switzler, Chief of the
Bureau of Statistics OF the Treasu-
ry Department, has placed his res
ignation in the hands of Secretary
Window. 1t is to take effect Oc-
tober 10. He has been in Office
four years and four months, and
has served nearly seven months
under Republican administra-
ton. His retention in Office thus
long is probably due to the fact
that mugwump Republicans like
Dyer and Henderson asked that
he be retained. Major Brock of
Macon is the most prominent can
dldste for the place and should
have had charge Of the Office six
months ago.
In matters of celebrations
Quincy always does every thing
well. The old soldiers attending
the reunion there this week re-
port excellent time. Every
train was met by committee and
band of music and escorted to the
park, which was head quarters.
There were printed directions
giving the location of every regi-
ment attending the reunion, also
committees to conduct strangers
to the headquarters of different
regiments. Every thing was re-
duced to a perfect system, and
every attention was given stran-
gers. So perfect was the system
that any soldier, who had been in
the city few hours, could direct
a new arrival to any regiment he
wished to find. Kirksville people,
who have returned, have nothing
but praises for the royal treatment
received from the city of Quincy.
The editor of the Journal
insists that the reunion was not
fraud. But this same editor
also insisted that there had never
been any investigation in Adair
county, and that no fees had ever
been illegally taken; yet, there had
been just the same, ard the peo-
pie of the entire county know it. |

never tried to deceive the people
