WHO IS THEY?

A very important parsonage
has recently come to light in
Adair county. Just where he
halls from all seem at a loss to
know, but that such fellow e1-
lists there is not the slightest doubt,
and considerable effort is being
made to locate him, and not en-
tirely without a show of success.
The Importance of the individu-
al known as Mr.. They, comes from
the fact that he has quietly given
out that he has the power to dis
pense patronage and give Office to
whom he will, thus delegating to
himself the power that is suppos-
ed to be exclusively in the hands
Of the people.
1t was not intended, however,
that tie special privileges and
honors possessed by Mr.. They
should become known to the pub
lie. But it was inadvertently
divulged by individuals, who
stated confdentially at divers
times, that Mr.. They had promised
them certain rewards under Ger.
tain conditions. This started al
investigation by the people, and
an effort is now being made TO
locate this important individual;
andif found, it is needless to say
that he will be promptly squelched
because of his presumption and
egotism.

plications arise, which is always
possible, tribute could be laid on
any of our large seaports, which
would tax the entire energies of
the country to pay. Better build
navy, and establish modern for
tifcations than to pay out ran
SONS to European powers.
The Senate has had under
consideration a proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing
for the election of Senators by
popular vote instead of by the
Legislatures of states. The idea
originated with the newspapers
and grew out of the recent contro-
versy between the Senate and the
Press over secret sessions. 1t is
now so popular that this bill was
introduced and there is a prospect
that the amendment proposed may
be submitted to the states. Should
the Senate pass it it certainly will
be, for the House is eager to wipe
out this distinction between the
two bodies. The proposed amend
ment is unquestlonably in the
spirit of the more advanced idea
of Republican Government, and
should meet with favor. The plan
of electing a Senate by and
through the instrumentality
of State Legislatures was thought
necessary to the security of the
Republic in its early and expert
mental stage, butnow thata hundred
years have demonstrated that the
more directly q Legislative body
may draw its existence from the
people the more direct the respon.
sibility, the closer the observance
of the peoples will, and therefore
the securer the public welfare.

Sloans' Point Items.
Health good.

Health good.
Farmers are very busy planting
corn. Wheat and grass look well,
and we do not think any neighbor-
hood in the county can beat ours
for wheat.
Sunday school at Sloans Point
is progressing nicely.
sloans Point has base ball
club, and the boys are becoming
quite expert in the national game.
We think the Kirksville club will
receive challenge from them in
short time.
Last Saturday evening Mr..
Phillip Sharr went to the pasture
to look after his horses. When he
arrived there he discovered a
strange looking animal jumping
about. A closer examination re-
vealed that it WAS a jack rabbit,
and regular old timer, too. Mr..
Sharr went to the house and got
his shot gun, and we'll directed
shot brought the animal down.
Some idea can be formed as to his
size when we tell you nine per-
sons ate of him for dinner on Sun
day, and they ate not sparingly,
either, for the meat was far supe-
rior to that of our common rabbit.
How MIR. "Jack" got this far from
his native country is hard to tell,
but one thing we do know, he came
some way and Mr.. Sharr killed
him and he has the hide and ears
to prove it. G.

A Call for Mr.. Harrington.
WILSON TOWNSHIP, April 2S.

ED. GRAAHIc: As the Con gres-
sional race is being talked of, and
the time draws near to nominate a
candidate, 1 think it but right for
the people to have voice in Sc
lecting the one we want to make
the race. We think there is a
chance of giving the Democracy a
race in this Congressional district
that will be successful, if the right
man is put out. Who is the right
man to beat Hatch? There is no
better man than F. NJ. Harrinp-
ton. He has represented our
county in the legislature, and has
the ability, experience and means
to make a winning race. If he
should receive the nomination for
congress we believe he can be
elected. WILSON REPUBLICAN.

EDITOR GRAPHIC: Allow me to
say few words through the col
umns of your valuable paper in
answer to letters received from
friends in "Old Missouri" asking
in regard to this country. To all
people contemplating coming to
Washington, l want to say, that
those who have farms in Missouri
that are well improved, could do
no better than to sell out and co me
here, fer we want men with
money, as W. haVe school houses
and churches to build; also, court
houses, jails, es7lums, county
houses and penitentiaries. When
they come they would only regret
it once and that would be as long
as they lived. To young men we
would say, be sure to come, for
you can get one dollar per day
Wnen you Work and when you
don't work it only costs you SIPS
per day for board. Hands are
scarce and one mile apart on the
railroad.
10 those who are religiously in
ollned we would say, come, for we
need a few good missionaries here.
But when you do dome bring your
six shooters as they are good to
convert with.
The aged and crippled would
find this an excellent place, and all
their wants cheaply supplied,
as potatoes are only worth So
per cwt.; meat 20 cts per pound;
onions 4 cts per pound; butter 80
cents per pound; eggs 25 cts per
doz.; coffee 40 cts per pound, poor
quality; sugar Z lbs for 81; dried
apples l6 2-3 cents per pound and
everything else in proportion.

An Honest Car CONDUCTOR

A prominent citizen Of Union Hill
boarded a street car in Hoboken and
handed Conductor Spencer coin. Spen-
Ger felt the milled edges, and, thinking
it was fifty cent piece, he put it in his
pocket without examining it and re-
turned forty-five cents change, which
the other man quickly put in his pocket.
A few minutes later the conductor was
making change inside the car and dis
covered that the supposed fifty cent piece
was $40 gold piece. He put it back in
the denomination of the coin he had
given him. ut was a quarter" the
Union Hill man said.
81 gave you twenty cents more than
you are entitled to-" Spencer remarked,
quietly.
The Union Hill man laughed, but did
not offer to return the change.
"Tm satisfied if you are" said Spencer.
Nothing more was said until the car
reached the top of the hill at Weehawken
and the man had shown no sign of re-
turning the twenty cents. Then Spencer
said:
IF you keep my change I'll keep what
you gave me and call it square,"
The Union Hill man put his hand In
his pocket and exclaimed: by Jovel /
gave you $40 gold piece"
"You did" replied Spencer, land you
intended to swindle me out of twenty
cents. Here's your $40, but you don't
deserve to get it back"
The prominent citizen pocketed the
money and got off the car at the next
corner.-New York Sun.

An Indian Nights with a Lon.

One day an Indian made an excursion
10 mountain near Chevantzieurm, state
OF Michoacan, in Mexico, to look after
some fuel for his hut. While emitting up
dry oak he suddenly felt a bite on the
calf of his leg, given in the fraction of a
second. A moment later he felt coiling
around his body the terrible fold of boa
constructor. Instinctively he leaned his
his head over toward the wounded leg
and was almost fascinated by the glare
of two bright basilisk eyes, that CLEANED
like fiery Goals in the head of the serpent.
Quicker than flash the Indian ducked
his head and caught the neck of the rep
tile between his jaws, sinking his teeth
In the quivering flesh and clinging to it
with the desperation of the dying. The
huge serpent dashed his tail and tried to
twist its head in order to bury its fangs
in the Indian, but the latter chung on
and began to chew away at the neck OF
the boa, which is the thinnest and most
delicate part of the snakes anatomy
After chewing for long time, the In-
dian succeeded in beheading his antag-
onist, the folds dropped from around his
body, and the Indian was free.-New
Mexico News.
