BLooDHOUNDS USED,
But They Fail to Follow the
Trail.

SEDALIA, No.. Aug. 17.-When the
Missouri Pacific express train, which
was robbed near Otterville, arrived at
the latter place at 4:40, message was
sent here to Supt. II. g. Clark stating
the occurrence. Detective de Horg and
Sheriff Smith left for the scene
with posse. Arriving there, a car
load of horses was ordered shipped
to Versailles. The posse, which had
been organized there in the meantime,
secured the country south to Otterville,
while the party at Otterville took a
special train for Versailles. Blood
hounds were pressed into service, but
failed to follow the scent. The search
has so far proved unsuccessful. Supt.
Fuller, of the Pacific express, states
this evening that seventy-four dollars
in money. gold watch, and a package
supposed to hold government supplies
was all that was secured by the robbers.

A new industry has made its ap-
nearance in the hotel corridors which,
from the satisfied expression of the
proprietor's face, seems TO pay hand
some profits. The man does not con-
fine himself t any locality, but is
now found in one familiar corridor,
now in another. His BUSINESS has a
certain amount of sentiment in it, for
out of thin sheet gold he manufactures
pretty lace pins, the design of which
is the signature of any fair one to
whom his customer desires to present
his offering. The signature, which,
s%ingularly enough, is almost without
exception the first name of the maiden,
is clipped from the end of a letter and
handed to the artist. After looking at
it closely through a magnifying glass
he gets a thorough idea of the proper
ton of its shading and all of its char
acteristics. Then with the thin sheet
of gold in his fingers and a delicate
pair of finely tempered scissors and a
hair file he reproduces the signature
in the precious metal i'll an incredibly
short time. The work Of soldering a
pin &c the signature and packing 1t IN
a box filled with tinted and perfumed
cotton is a matter of a few moments.

The As. and the wild Hor...

An Ass who was at Pasture one day
was approached by a Wild Horse,
whose graceful movements and perfect
freedom from the restraints of Man so
filed the Ass with Envy and Delight
that he begged the Privilege of max
ing an Excursion in his company.
The Horse consented and the two set
out together, but they had not travelled
above three or four miles when n pack
Of wolves made a rush and cut the
Ass off from his companion. I'e cried
out in Terror for Assistance, but the
Horse said, as he galloped away:
Il had forgotten TO mention the
Fact that this sort of life has its draw
backs as well as any other, and this is
one of them"

One dav this week l made the as
founding discovery that in order to be
eligible to jury duty it is not necessary
that the party summoned on a panel
should be q years of age. The name
Of my son, who IS not 20 years OF age,
was given in a list of young men, in
the house where he is employed, sup
posed to be eligible for jury duty.
when / went to see Judge Withrow
on the boys behalf, l stated the fact
of his minority, but the judge said
that made no difference; that If he
was but 9 years of age and possessed of
the requisite intelligence he would be
obliged to serve, and that failure TO
appear would lay him liable to attach
ment and fine. This was news TO me.
1t seems under the law that a man
may be too old for jury service, but
not too young.-Interview in st louis

TO YOUNG HUSBANDS.
Some Advice Regarding the Best Way to
Treat Your Wives.


One of the most despicable practices
that a married man can be guilty of Is
a kind of coarse testing at the bondage
of the married state, and a laugh at
the shackles which the wife imposes.
| On the contrary, be it your pride to
exhibit to the world that sight on
which the wise man passes such an
encomium Beautiful before God and
men are a man,and wife that perfectly
agree" Make it an established rule to
consult YOUR wife on all occasions
vour interest is hers-and undertake
no plan contrary to her advice and OPP
position. Independent of better mo
lives. what a responsibility does itfree
YOU from! For if the affair turns out
IN. YOU are spared r~eproaches both
from her and Your own feelings.
But the fact is, she who ought TO
! have most influence on her husbands
mind is often the person who has the
least, as a man will frequently take the
advice Of a stranger, who cares not for
him nor his interest, in preference to
the cordial and sensible opinion of
his wife. a due consideration of the
domestic evils such a line OF conduct is
calculated to produce might, one
would think, of itself be sufficient TO
prevent adoption but, Independent Of
these, policy should influence you, for
there is a woman of intuitive quick
ness Il sagacity, a penetration and n
foresight into the probable consequent
ces of an event that make her pecul-
iarly calculated TO give her opinion and
advice. IF | were making up a plan
of consequences, said the great Lord
Bo~lingbroke, Il should like first to
consult with a sensible woman"
Have you any male acquaintance

wife wishes you to resignl Why
should You hesitatef OF what consc-
quence can be the civilities or even
the friendship of any compared
with the wishes of her with whom you
have to spend your life, whose com

promised 10 attend to, and who has a
right to demand not only such IA
trifling compliance, but great sacri
fees if necessary Never witness a
tear from your wife with apathy or in
difference. Be assured, when you see
a tear on her cheek, that her heart is
touched, and do not behold it with

san Antonio r. o. Clerks.

San Antonio postoffice clerks are
not unrepresented in the conven ton
of postoffice clerks now in Washing
ton, as their proxy has been forward
ed to the secretary of the Legislative
committee of the postoffice clerks
association. The object of this
association is to receive from
government for postoffice clerks
the same privileges as are en-
joyed by carriers and other employees
of the postal department.. The con-
vention now in Washington repre-
sonts the postoffice clerks of the Uni-
ted States, and aims to receive for
them through legislative action a re-
ductiOn of hours of labor and increased
pay for their services. There is no
class of workers in any department of
the government service more in need
of congressional action than the clerks
in the pOstOffices, all of whom are
OverwOrked and underpaid.
