AN EDITORS ERROR.
He Made q Mistake i'm Not At
tending Previous Meetings
of the Association.

j. West Goodwin, with his white
hat and pocketful of BAzoo adver4,
Using cards, dropped into the Laclede,
got his supper and left ON the Missou-T
RI Pacific train for home in Sedalia.
Mr.. Goodwin had just returned from
Hannibal, where he had the honor
last week Of being elecied president
OF the Missouri Press associa ion.
81 di ! not want the presidency" he
said to a Republic representative,
mot if Ed Stephens, of Columbia,
would have accepted it again. But
Stephens is now president of the Ma
tional Press assOcistion and he did not
want to be our chief officer any longer.
The Missouri association is in better
condition now than it ever was. We
have got more bona fide newspaper
men in the organization now than We
ever had. There was nobody at the
Hannibal meeting who was not a
newspaper man, and We had glori-
Gus meeting. With a good strong Or
ganization we are going to he in q
position to do some good for our
country press.
Zone of the funny incidents oftbe
Hannibal convention, and one, too,
by the way, that illustrates the benefit
of attending these meetings, was the
love-feast or experience meeting we
had one day, when all the patent in
sides fellows got to telling their ex-
periences with the patent publishers.
One member said he was paying II :
cents quire for his paper, and an
other one, who was using identically
the same sized paper, said he paid IL
cents. One after another got up
ami told what they were paying,
and the prices ranged all the way
from IL to 10 cents. The man who
paid 19 cents said he had never at
tended meeting of the Press associa-
ton before. Il am the biggest sucker
in the bunch of you,' he said. III
had met you six years ago would
have saved $500 or $500 ON patent
insides. for l am paying 10 cents for
my paper
"This shows you what a good thing
it is for the country editors to attend
the editorial conventions. When the
legislature meets again we are going
to try to get bill passed providing
for the publication of all state laws
in the country papers. The Missouri
Press association is in splendid condi-
ton. st. Louis Republic, 26th.

Not suspecting anything wrong,

A WIFE'S WALL.
The Village of COncOrdia, on
the Lexington Branch,
Has a Sensation.

Our German friends ut ConcOrdia,
Lafayette county, on the Lexington
branch, have sensation, and it was
furnished on short order by a fellow
named Henry Strauss.
Strauss arrived in COncordia in
May last and represented himself as
everything that could be embodied in
man. He won the affec ion Of Miss
Julia Richstldt, respectable young
lady, and married her. He told her
of his great wealth, aud planned q
magnificent castle fer the unsophisti.
Gated and innocent girl.
Last Friday her dropped he note
and told her that he had to 60 back to
Germany, as he was subject to mill
lary service there, and Saturday, when
Mrs. Strauss returned home from a
visit al Alma, she found her husband
and all things of value belonging to
her gone.
He borrowed from s25 to $40 OF
each of her relatives, and small sums
of everyone be could before he disap-
peared. Strauss walked to Lexing-
ton and left for across the river, since
which time nothing has been heard
from him.

REV. j. e. RILEY ARRESTED.
The Memphis Clergyman Ar
raigned in the Police Court
on a Very Serious
Charge.

A man giving his name as j. C.
Riley, and claiming that he was q
clergyman, was arrested at the union
depot this morning by Officer G. E.
McGbee, and taken before Justice
Halstead to answes to the serious
charge of indecent exposure of person.
Rev. Rileyfwhen arraigned told the
police Judge that he resided in Mem
phis, Tenn, and was on his way to
Clinton, this state. He professed
perfect ignorance of the crime with
which he was charged, but offered no
denial to the statement made by the
policeman. Officer McGhee told the
court that the Rev. Riley had deliber-
ately made use of the depot platform
as closet, in an open and shameful
manner.
Judge Halstead fined Riley $40 and
costs, which he paid from a roll of
bills amounting to between $500 and
$500. He then requested Officer
MCGEE to accompany him to the de-
pot and point oHt to him the exact
spot where the indecent act was COM
mitted. This the officer did. Riley
appeared to be dumfounded. "Was
/ asleep" he asked MCGEE. 81 guess
not" replied the officer, ''yOu had
your eyes wide open"
"Was | drunk" was the next
question.
"Not far from it judging from the
fumes of liquor on your breath" was
the reply which put an end to further
interrogation. Riley was satisfied.

WILL SUE FOR DAMAGES.
A Negro Jailed Last Evening
Will Make Trouble for Con
stable Gray.

Late yesterday afternoon Edward
Morton, a Georgetown negro, was
fined So and costs, aggregating
s1140, for having disturbed the
peace of Constable Gray, also Of the
village of Georgetown, the case hav-
ing been disposed of in Justice Fishers
court.
Morton paid 81. 40 on account, but
went to Jail in default of the remain
ing $40, and now says he will make it
warm for somebody before he is
through with the business. The
trouble arose in this manner:
Morton was requested by Road
Overseer Brown to pay poll tax of
81, but he most emphatically de-
clined to do so. Suit for the amount
was brought before Justice Castle, of
Georgetown, and judgment was
rendered against the defendant.
Morton still declined to liquidate
and a garnishee was run on wages
due him. The garnishment was
looked after by Constable Gray, who
was roundly abused by Morton, and
the next thing the latter knew he
was under arrest on the charge of
having disturbed the officers peace,
which resulted in the tax evader go
ing to Jail last evening.
Justice Fisher maintains that the
proceeding in Justice Castles court,
wherein judgment was rendered
against Morton, was illegal, as suit
to collect poll tax cannot be brought
uHtil after October 1st. On this
ground Morton says he will bring
suit against Gray and his bondsmen,
alleging that the former is responsible
for the alleged illegal imprisonment.
"Let him sue," said Constable
Gray. 81 took him to Jail on the ad.
vice of the county attorney, and am
willing to stand the consequences"

No matter how much advertising
costs it certainly pays. A single page
in an issue of the Century, taken for
advertising purposes, costs $500; in
Harper's $400 down to 500. A
yearly advertisement of one column in
the New York Herald costs $50, 304
for the lowest and $4,000 for the
highest priced columns. These figures
will doubtless be of interest to men
who invest 81 or So per month, and
fiatter themselves with the idea that
they are extensive and liberal adver-
tisers, and that because of their in
vestment they ought to control the
columns and dictate the course of the
publication.

able to resume work.

John Nicely, living on the old Ri
ley farm, about five miles southeast of
Arrow Rock, reports a new disease
among cattle in that vicinity. The
tongue of the animal becomes greatly
swollen and protrudes from the mouth
four or five inches, causing inability
to eat or drink and great suffering.
Only two animals 30 far have died
from it, though six of Mr.. Nicely's
and two of a neighbours are affected.
r. E. Williams says that the disease
is knswn as "black tongue" and that
il is quite fatal. He says that it used
to be quite common, the cattle con-
tracing it from pasturing where deer
affected with the disease had grazed.
This is the first case Mr.. Williams
has known of for thirty years.

City History.

Kenosha has been an incorporated
city fifty years. During that period
there have been elected eighteen diff
ferent Mayors. Of this number five
served from two to FIVE terms each.
In looking over the names of those
who formerly served in this office, it
will be seen that majority who &C.
cupied the position were gentlemen
of responsibility and creditable to the
city. 1t would hardly be true to
history to assert that some Of the
Mayors of late years were as wisely
selected as were those in the earlier
history Of the city. The voters of
the city should have a just pride in
choosing for the chief representa-
tive officers of the city those whose
talents, standing and influence will
compare favorably with similar Off
GERS in neighboring cities. Reason
as we may, the general character of
a city is to some extent at least,
judged by the intelligence and repu=
tation of its chief official officers.
Ex-Mayor O. S. Newell has again
been put in nomination for Mayor,
to which responsible position he was
elected in 1883. His nomination for
the office at the late Republican city
convention may be taken as an en-
dorsement of confidence in his fitness
and ability. He is too we'll known
in the city to need any Introductory
to the people; the larger portion of
his life has been spent here, and his
character for honesty and integrity
is not questioned by those who are
best acquainted with him.
