GRANITEVILLE, No, Feb. 16, Is

GRANITEVILLE, Mo-, Feb. 16, 1890.
Ed. RegiSteT-lt has remained for some
person, evidently stranger among us, to
discover that an evening of harmless amuser
ment in the house of a friend, aud among
friends, is being the means of making the
lives of some in this place miserable or I'M
happy. The young people whom that per-
son is pleased to designate a gang" fail
to see the point of such a vulgar term az APP
piled to them. To a number OF lawess and
unruly people such term might properly
be applied, but to the Young people in ques-
ton it is an ignorant misuse of terms.
True, the most of the young people in
question are unmarried, but it yet remains
to be seen If that is any crime. Does not St.
Paul say, "He that marIieth doeth well, but
be that marrieth not doeth better:" As for
disturbing the peace of any ones home, per-
nit me to say that those married people In
whose houses the dances have been held
were those with whom al the young folks
We're Intimately acquainted, having known
them for many years, and, far from consld
ering the peace of their homes as being
rudely disturbed by us, they were the hap
piest looking disturbed people one might
wish to see in a lifetime.
We would advise might Owl" to get
around a little more lively, get better posted
en- facts ere rushing into public print, and
when 30 posted on facts stick to them, and,
even if not invited to all the good times 90.
Ing on, seek not to vent such petty spite as
this is because not reque sted to participate
therein, otherwise we may rightly suspect
that the story of the fox and the grapes is
likely to tit his case to nicely. "A little
nonsense now and then is relished by the
wisest menu ONE OF THE GANG.

Charley Holloman, of Pilot Knob, and
Geo. Blanks, both cOlored, got into racket
last Sunday because of having but one
bright particular star between them. In
other words, and in the language of the dali
ly reporter, there was ''!ady" at the bot
tom of the trouble. Charley indicated his
right to the coveted prize by assaulting
George with words and blows against the
peace and dignity of the State" and shatter-
ing to fragments the statute shielding the in
nocent and law-abiding citizen. For thus
kicking over the statutory traces, Charley,
after fair trial before Esquire Dinger, was
mulcted in fine and costs, and told to 20 his
way and sin no more.
Last Sunday week some bows were playing
about the shaft, IN Begley's field east of
town. The shaft which is eighty five feet
deep, and filled to within ten feet of the
surface, is covered over with planking. But
the boys peeped through the cracks, and
We're Startled by seeing The body of baby
floating on the surface of the water. They
were so badly scared that they didn't men
ton the incident to anybody for several
days. Then one of the BOYS told his mother,
and last Thursday she and some other wom-
en- went to the shaft. There was the body,
but on attempting to reach it with pole
and bring it up, the head separated from
the body, and all sank to the bottom. Con-
stable Patton was notified, aud next dav he
and one or two others went to the place, but
all that could be seen was something resem-
bling piece of flesh floating on the water.
1t was also observed that a small hole had
been dug under .he planking-just large
enough to let in the body of a small infant.
The mystery will probably never be explain
ed.
While in the city last week we called at the
Boatmen's Bank, and were cordially receiv

The building has just heen iii ed with new
outfit of electric lights-an electric hand
lamp being the most singular part of the
furnishing. While there we had the pleas
ure of becoming acquainted with President
Lakeland and enjoyed a ten minutes con-
versation with him. ApropOs to this item,
we copy the following from Sundays Re
public: 1.-The BOatmen's Bank, one of the
largest aud oldest financial institutions in |
the city, following the general drift of the |
larger St. Louis banks, will, about March l, |
reorganize DIS i national bank, and with an
increase of capital stock that puts them at
the head of all local banking concerns, start |
anew on career that is already well nigh |
unequalled for steady prosperity. The |
name of the reorganized institution will be |

stock is to be increased to II 100000 The !
present capitalization Is $2,000,000, and the |
bank has surplus of about 100000"

lout.ot this peculiar custom is on the part
of the straw man. Nowadays your straw
man will work for half the original fee.
When pleading as an art was scarcely
developed the courts used Ito hear suits
against animals. BY the old law of
France, if a vicious animal killed a
person and it was proved that his
owner knew of it's propensity to kill,
and suffered it to go at large, he
was hanged, and the animal was also.
In 1914 a bull having killed a man by
tossing him with its horns was brought
before the Judge and indicted as a GRIM
inal. After several witnesses had sworn
against it, the court condemned it to
be hanged. This sentence was confirmed
by an,order of Parliament and carried
into effect.
Old historical books tell us that as late
as 1850 the French had proper laws for
the punishmento of offensive rats, locusts,
flies and leeches. This was going very
far. To-day we should all be made very
happy if some genius would devise and
and put into practical working law for
the determination of the mosquito.

OFF FOR THE EAST.
Over One Hundred People Leave for

Over One Hundred People Leave for
Pennsylvania.
The excursiOnists left this morning
for the east, some on the Rock Island
and some on the U. 2. There were III
of them, nearly all farmers. They go
to Chambersburg, Harrisburg and other
PENNSYLVANIA points to visit friends.
They paid $50 each for tickets. The
party will spend $4,000 before return
ing. 1t certainly does not look as
though the farmers of Dickinson coun-
ty were suffering or oppressed. We
doubt if farmers of any state spend
more for recreation than those of Kan
sas.
The rate-cutting did not materalize.
The Vandalia and Wabash were only
here to get what they could of the
traffic and secured about 20 passengers
who left on the Rock Island. Their
work was honorable and they did no
cutting. The U. P. and connecting
lines took out 90, all making the same
rate, $50 for round trip, so day limit.

various roads were here: w. d. Muir

TOMMY'S MEDICINE
His Anxious Mother Doses Him with NO
Iasses and birthstone.


A small boy, more or less the light OF
a certain household and the scourge Of
the neighbOrhOod, showed signs of ae-
quiring the complexion of a leopard,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. That is
to say, his mother noticed that her
treasures face was becoming terribly
spotted.
She called the family doctors atten-
ton to the trouble, and be said in the
brusque off-hand way we all know so
we'll: ''Give him a level teaspoonful OF
birthstone every day"
The doctors word was law in that fam
lily, and considerable shipment of brim-
stone was procured at once Omitting
the details of administration, we may
pass on 10 the next visit OF the doctor to
the family of the boy.
"Well, hOws Tommy" was the doe
tors first question.
"Oh, he's very much worse. As you
ordered, gave him eleven spOonfuls
of birthstone and he's been raising ="
Eleven spoonfulsl never ordered
that many" shouted the doctor, as he
nervously sprung upstairs toward Tom
mys room "A level spoonful was what
| said"
