that the eWheelers should keep out of

from the Jefferson City Tribune is
tn the same direction;
The Wheel stores are now meet

they are rapidly being abandoned.
It was An unfortunate day when the
farmers undertook to drive out the
retail merchants, and it has not
taken them long to find ont their
mistake. The small merchants
have no combination, and the en-.
istsnce OF . number Of stores keeps
composition sharp and insures
reasonable prices. But few of the
mail merchants make money. and
It's highly desirable that t6ey be

Tuesday night Charles Vail was
arrested at St. Charles, Mo-. for
the murder of his wife, who died
suddenly a few days ago. The evi-
dence is largely circumstantial.
Some days before her death Vail
took out a one day insurance ticket
on her life and then invited her to
ride. The night was a bad one,
but as Vail had been mlstreating
his wife for some time she thought
perhaps the invitation meant a
change Of conduct on his part and
accepted. When they reached the
woods Vail jumped out with an
oath, threw the reins on the ho,se's
back and commenced beatingit. The
woman grabbed the reins and thus
saved herself from a fatal runaway
Later in the week she died sud.

volver in her husbands pocket.

1t is a curious thing that the
most chestnutty chestnut was the
one that received the most favora-
BILE comment from the London
papers. Barnum himselfis an in
FAINT in arms as compared with the
age of this story. It is about the
meanest man on earth. A grocer
and general dealer advertised a
drink with each purchase. He took
trade. A mean man came in with
an egg worth cent and traded it
for a darning-needle, also worth a
cent. Then he demanded his
drink, and took sherry. He said
he always had to have an egg in
his sherry, and the dealer broke
the egg he had just received from
him in the sherry. 1t happened
that the egg had two yolks, and SC
the meanest man demanded two
darning-needles because of the
two yolks. This story will be
found in the drawer of Harper's
Magazine somewhere in the '5Os,
and when il is remembered that
Harper's Drawer never allowed
anything to appear that was not al
least three centuries old, the age oi
this story may be roughly
estimated.

Davis scorned Such Warfare.

Davis ScOrned Such Warfare.
An ex-Confederate officer in the
Century tells of a reception he met
with from Jefferson Davis when he
exhibited pieces of hollow iron
shaped like Jumps of coal, and
which were designed to be filled
with powerful explosive and then
scattered among Federal coaling
stations. Says that officer: "The
Presidents eye fairly blazed while
he gave me such a blessing that I
would have been glad to crawl into
a rat hole to get away from him.
When he had exhausted his fury
he said abruptly: Return to your
station, sir, this very day. I
firmly believe he would have put
me in arrest and preferred charges,
but that he did not want the mat
ter to become public" The re-
suit of the introduction of such
bombs into a gunboat's furnace
would have been to send it to the
bottom.

Every horse should have some

Every horse should have some
green food in winter to keep his
bowels open. It is dry and con-
centrated food that causes fever by
constipating the bowels, making
the hair rough. The good effect of
.oil-meal consists IN the fact, not
that it directly makes fat, but that
it enables the stomach TO digest
food more perfectly. Carrots have
the same effect. a few given

WHETHER st. Louis secures q

w nEi uEh Ot. LOUIS StCuFco tuC
Worlds Fair or not, Missouri and
the claims of st. Louis have been
represented in such an admirable
manner by Governor D. R. Francis,
Col. Jones and others that incalcul-
able benefits will result to the State.
Francis is not the man to desert q
sinking ship or to "let go" because
he fears to be connected with any
movement which is likely to fail,
although he seldom is; and in face
of the fact that it is conceded that
st. Louis has about given up the
fight, the Governor, at the head of
a working delegation, is now at his
post of duty in Washington
in the thickest of the fight, making
one last supreme effort to secure
for his State this grand worlds
enterprise. Thousands of eyes
from all parts of the world have
been turned toward the State of
Missouri through the work done in
pushing the claims of st. Louis for
the Worlds Fair, and the grand
unprecedented immigration of solid
and thrifty people which will fol-
low should amply satisfy Mis-
sourians, whether they secure the
fair or not. An intelligent, in
cessant and brilliant fight has
been made from start to finish,
which every true Missourian
knows and understands how to ap-
preciate. No matter what the re-
suit may he, no powder has been
burned in vain.

Be Wary of Choosing. Girls.

From the Philadelphia Recafd.
It was excellent advice I saw
lately given to young ladies urging
them to marry only gentlemen or
not marry at all. A true gentle
man is generous and unselfish. He
regards another's happiness and
welfare a we'll a. his own. You
will see the trait running through
all his actions. A man who Ia q
bear at home among his sisters and
discourteous to his mother is Just
the man to avoid when you come to
the great question which Is to be
answered yes or no. You need
not die old maids. But wait until
the prince passes by. No harm in
delay.
You viii not be apt TO find him
in the ball room. Nor is he cham.
