Friday night about 10 O'Clock Mr..
John Gamble, a we'll known citizen
of Lafayette county, living a mile
north of Higginsville, was shot and
MORALLY wounded at his home by an
unknown man. Mr.. Gamble retired
about 9 o'clock and was awakened
about 10 o'clock by some one knock
ing at the front door. He Immediately
went to the door, opened it, found
the visitor to be a strange man who
pretended that he wanted to know the
direc ion to Mr.. Young's farm. Mr..
Gamble stepped out OF the house into
the yard and was pointing out the
direction when the assassin stepped
behind him, drew a revolver and fired.

near the right side and passing almost

in the darkness. The wounded man

The Aspen Daily Mail, the paper
that John d. Russell started in Colo
RADIO, few months ago has suspended
and the enterprise has come to grief
is dismal failure. Russell will
kill any paper that he is connected
with, because he has not enough
gumption, energy and principle to
succeed. He published paper in
Sedalia on the eternal hate plan, adj
vocated the Knights of Labor and
boycotting. He held up in Sedalia,
boycottiDg as higher civilization in
comparison with the usual processes
of law.
If such thing were possible, the
Sedalia postoffice would have been
closed by the sheriff under his admin
istration.
He betrayed his best friends here in
Sedslia, and some who gave him fl.
nancial aid, are now fugitives to avoid
a term in the penitentiary.

About Alaska.

Judge L l.. Williams, late United
States Commissioner at Juneau, Alas
Ia, arrived from BOonville this morn
ing to meet a Mr.. Greer, an acquain-
lance of his during his residence in
Alaska. Judge Williams is one of the
two commissioners appointed from
Alaska to the Worlds Fair. He saws
that the territory will make a good
showing, and will have some rather
novel exhibits in the way of furs,
minerals, woods and Indian curios.
1t is also intended to have on exhibit
ton a mammoth panorama, on which
will be displayed much of the mag
nifcent Alaskan scenery by sea and
land.

burlington Securely shackled.

Passengers who came over from
Boonville this morning informed a
BAzoo representative that the 'Turl-
ington excitement has died down and
everything is moving along in the
Vine Clad as serenely as a summer
day. The prisoner is now shackled
in his cell, and it will be a miracle
if he ever skips by the
light of the moon again.
Owing to the indomitable energy of
the now nationally notorious criminal
and because of the marvellous skill he
has displayed in escaping from the
authorities, public sentiment in
Cooper county seems to be more
favorable than ever before. This
sentiment is so plainly manifested that
many persons seem to hesitate as to
whether burlington should be
hanged.
Sheriff Hornbeck recovered his
horse Sunday evening. The animal
had been desperately ridden. but
being a superior animal, stood the
flight very well.
burlington has resumed his Testa-
ment studies and is also engaged in
preparing communications for the
newspapers.

mystery. 1t must have been too
large for him to secrete it in his

he was searched.

escape. 1t seems like there is a screw

SLOWED TO escape twice from the same
Jail within such a short time.
E. III. Redman, editor of the Boon
vile Republican, is an outspoken gen
tleman. He seemed to regard the
matter as huge JOKE. Turlington's
escape on the eve Of the last election
was used for all it was worth by the
willy young editor in his CAMPAIGN for
congress. If he had had another op-
portunity such as this one, he might
have turned the scales against the
democrats, at least SD far as the sher-
iffalty was concerned.

that burlington left the Jail and the

deputies Who brought burlington back
from Kentucky.
There was rumor in Sedalia this
afternoon that burlington had been
lynched in Boonville this morning.
but reliable adyices received from
Boonville at a late hour this after
noon say that burlington is safe in
the Boonviile Jail and that there is
no danger of lynching.
Ii WIS also reported here to-day
that he would be brought here and
turned over to Sheriff Smith, as twas
feared the sheriff of Cooper county
would let him get away again but
there is probably no truth in the re-
port, as the BAzoo can not trace it to
any reliable source.

HIAINE AND CLEVELAND,

The Spokane Falls Review in an ey-
travagant eulogy on Blaine and his re-
ciprocity scheme takes occasion to say:
Contrast this magnificent statesman
ship with the narrow, insular ideas of
Grover Cleveland and the democratic
party, which contemplate nothing
broader or better than the payment of
perpetual tribute to Europe, and you
can gather pretty clear conception Of
the Unreasonable gulf that lies between
the two men,
That is a gross mistatement Of Mr.
Cleveland's ideas. In his famous tariff
message to congress he distinctly rec
commended the continuance OF suffi-
Gent protection to enable our manufac-
turers to compete with those OF Europe
and he urged also that our manufactur-
ers be given an opportunity to extend
their markets by enabling them to
compete with European rivals. How
did he propose to do this? Why, by
giving them raw materials free, or at
such reduction Of duty as would en-
able them to reduce the cost of the
manufactured article. South America
is going to buy where she can buy the
cheapest. II England with free raw
materials will sell her the manufactured
articles at less price than our manufac-
turers can afford, England will get
South Americas trade-that Is all. Mr..
Blaine's reciprocity idea issa glittering
sham unless he takes precisely the
ground that Mr.. Cleveland marked out
in 1887 when he said:
'The radical reduction OF the duties
imposed upon raw material used ir
manufactures, or it's free Importation, is
an important factor in any effort to re
duce the price Of necessaries. It would
not only relieve them from the increased
cost caused by the tariff on such mater
ial, but the manufactured product
being thus cheapened, that part Of thu
tariff now laid upon such product, as a
compensation to our manufacturers for
the present price of raw material, could
be accordingly modified. 1t would give
them better charc, in foreign markets
with the manufacturers of other coun.
tries who cheaper their wares by free
material. Thus our people might have
the opportunity Of extending their sales
beyond the limits of home consumption
saving them from the depression, in
terruption in business and loss caused
by glutted domestic market, and af-
fording their employees more certain and
steady labor"
II there is political salvation for
James G. Blaine he must become an
humble follower of Grover Cleveland.

THE leading republican newspapers
of the country are still keeping up a
plucky fight against the blind leaders
of their party in congress. The St.
Louis Globe-Democrat tells the force
bill champions that "What the republi-
can party wants is not legislation to
give it more votes in the south, but leg
islation to bring back the votes it has
lost in the north
The st. Paul Pioneer Press tells the
republican leaders they are making the
same mistake that they made in passing
the Mckinley bill. 1t says:
They know now, beyond peradyenture,
and infinitely more clearly than they could
know anything about the popular standing
of the Mckinley bill, that the bill for fed
eral control of elections is thoroughly un-
popular. They know that republicans do
not want it. They know that its passage
will confirm in their apostasy those repub-
licans who voted against the party this
year, and send another batch of disguised
voters to voice their protest in the demo-
cratic camp, where they do not belong and
whittier they do not wish to 20. In word,
they know that it is exec. ably "bad poll
tics" How they can have a moment's
hesitation concerning their duty in the
premises is mystery to men of strong
common sense. The most radical view of
the requirements Of party fealty does not
make it a duty for a man to vote with the
party when that party has had imposed on
it some measure which will work its own
destruction. If there is any republican
senator who thinks that it will in any way
advantage the party or himself to have the
experience of 1890 repeated in 1892, with
variations and amplifications, it is his bust
ness to vote for the Lodge bill. But if
there is man who believes that it is better
for the party to win than for the am
bition of Mr.. Lodge, and the jeal-
ousy which Senator Hoar feels t,ward his
rival in the house, to be gratified at it's ex-
pense, if there is n senator who will stop
long enough to consider that another blum.
der this winter will cost control of the
senate as we'll as the house, he must vote
against the elections bill. 1t is worse poll
tics to saddle upon the party the odium OF
a bad measure than it is to vote against
the party when shortsiRhted counselors
have got it into hole.
Contrast these clear and candid ut.
terances of able republican journals
with those of a defeated politician, az
set forth in the following interview
4 printed in the st. Louis Republic:
Garter, of Montana, the secretary of the
republican national congressional commit
tee. said that the alliance was an organiza-
ton in the interest of the democracy. having
its origin in the south, and that every
farmer who was in favor of honest elections
and opposed to fraud, intimidation and
bloodshed. would favor the passage of the
election bill.
What world OF difference there is
between clear-sightedness and pighead-
| edness!
