Importance to merchants, and it will

pay the special tax of s25 to the
government, and if they fail to do
so are subject to heavy fine and
imprisonment. Eight persons were
fined 500 each at Parkersburg last

selling essences; and all of whom
plead guilty. There is no appeal

Monday, regaing the boys with a
dream he had on Sunday night, in
which Hon. Jas. b. Manager was a
conspicuous figure. He dreamed
of being in some great city aud en-
tering a magnificent building he
saw some one seated on the stage
He made inquiry as to who that per-
son was that so much attention was
paid to. They told him that it was
Manager, of West Virginia. Mena-
ger soon recognized him, and com
ing down took him by the hand and
made him promise to tarry with
him. We hope the dream may yet
come true, for we believe that there
is no position that man could fill
that would make Menager forget
his friends. Col. Long is one of the
prominent Democrats of this county,
and perhaps the, dream of the Dem
ocrat may presage the fate Of the
republican.

who absconded, taking with him
some $1,000 of the company S money,
and deserving his wife, whom our
citizens raised money for TO send
her to Chicago. The story as pub
lished in the Post makes an interes-
ting chapter, and shows him up to
be the basest of low down scoun-
drels and villains. He is charged
with having five wives, and three OF
them living in Chicago. Detec-
tives are on his trail, and we hope
the scoundrel may be captured.
The article is too long for this issue,
but we viii try and give it to our
readers in full, next week.

He says the institution needs pc

should come to its rescue with lib
eral aid. Morgantown is charm
ing place; the climate is delightful,
The scenery beautiful, and with all
It's natural advantages and resources

The way to broaden out the insti-

GONG AWAIT makes us sick
at heart to learn that the Kanawha
Lumber and Furniture Company
has about completed negotiations to
remove this immense concern to
Duluth, Minnesota. If it goes, that
it will be a heavy blow to Point
Pleasant, it is no use to deny. If
our people had one fourth the push
and energy that the towns of the
Northwest, have, it would not
be permitted to go. The Com
pany has never had that encourage
ment and support from our people,
that it should have had. While bo
muses. in the shape of cash, was not
expected or asked for, yet our peo-
pie who had money, could have
purchased stock in the Company,
and thus have put it in good fin
ancial condition, and it would have
had no reason for moving away or
listening to propositions from other
towns. 1t can be still retained at
this place, if our citizens go to work
in a systematic manner to prevent
its removal. Let them meet the
directors and stockholders at their
meeting at 9 a. m, June Goth, and
be prepared to make the Company
a proposition that will induce them
to remain with us. If we expect to
retain what few industries we have,
and encourage other enterprises to
locate in our midst, we must at least
be as liberal as other towns. If it
goes away it will cause at least fifty
families to leave our town.

thanks to the Commercial club and

genial and hearty hospit ,lity extent
ed during our soiourn in the besuti-
full and enterprising city of Stdalia,
and indulge the hope that we may
have an opportunity OF returning tie
kindness in kind, if within our power,
That in returning TO our homes we
carry in our hearts and indelibiy
stamped upon our memoirs The hap
pieSt rec0llectiOns of this Wit, ami In
parting we Can find M filter language
TO express our feelings than the words
of the poet
Farewell, nut whenever you welcome the
hour
That awakens the night song of mirth in
your bower,
Then think OF the friend who once well
coined 1t too,
And forgot his own grieIs TO be happy with
you.
His grieis may return, not hope may re-
main
OF the few lat have Frightened his path
way OF fame.
But he ne'er will forget the short vision
that threw
Its enchantment around him while liDger
ing with you.

Hon. w. F. futile, Pettis county's
candidate for speaker of the Missouri
house of representatives, is in St.
Louis, looking after his candidacy.
He spent Saturday IN Jefferson City
and the Jefferson City Tribune, of
Sunday last, says of him:
"Hon. w. f. futile of Pettis county
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Tuttle
is a prominent candidate for speaker
of the house. Speaking of his chancas
of election, Mr.. Tuttle said that he
would have three competitors--Messrs.
Turner of Clinton, Webb of Jackson
and Fogle of Schuyler-aRd that the
contest is yet to be settled. Mr.. Tut
tie considers his chances of success as
good from present indications, and he
is entirely satisfied with the situation.
Mr.. futile is in receipt of a letter
from Capt. James L. Farris of Ray
in which the latter states positively
that he will not be candidate for
speaker"
The BAzoe is glad to note that Mr..
Tuttle's prospects are..growing brighter
daily and predicts his triumphant
election.

SEVENTH COMMANDMENT.

The following paper was filed in
Judge Blsir's court this morning:
Clara Muhrer being duly sworn up.

ton and AnRio Samueis, and says that
heretofore. TO wit: On the first day
of August, 1890, in Sedalia, Jack
Bratton and Annie Samuels, not being
married to each other, iewdly and
lasciviously abide and cohabt with
each other.
Mrs. Samuel, who rents house
from Mrs. Muhrer north of the Mo. 2.

ing and arrsignei, together with
Bratton, who had also been arrested,
in Judge Blair's court this morning.
BrattoD, who is single man, and the
woman were placed in Jail, not being
able to give the required bond.
Mrs. Samuels' husband was sent to
the penitentiary a short time ago and
she now has q suit for divorce from
him fled in the Pettis circuit court.
Judge Blair reduced her bond TO
800 and she will likely be liberated
from Jail this evening.
