Obituary.

John Boss, the pioneer of Middlebrook, is
gone to that place from where there is no
| return.
John Boss cime in the summer, 1S4S, from
I lJonesboro, ILL.,, to his present place, consist
| ing that time of small log house, occupied
| by VIM. Meyers, and five small log shanties
| used as a blacksmith shop and collier shant-
| les, and situated on 40 acre field owned by
VIM. Meyers, John and Abe Buford. Boss
moved with his family, his wife and infant
son, the now well known August d. Boss, of
Bismarck, IN one shanty. opened a shoe
| makers shop in another one and started in
the same grocery of n very primitive
character Thence he bought out VIM.
Meyers undivided one third part OF the
land, built on this in 1916 large story log
house and started general store in compa-
ny with his brother-in law, Chas. Masch-
meyer, who had removed here in December,
1S4S, the rendezvous place of nearly all Ger
mans, working at Iron Mountain and Pilot
Knob. Jolly times were had there some
times.
John and Abe Buford were soon bought
out too, and by and By, larger tracts Of join
ing private lands. A restless active man, he
ever has been, he had the best prospect and
chance TO become an independent, rich inan,
had he worked less himself and had watched
some of his employers so much more. But
he was too good, trusted his employers and
his customers too much entirely, and that
was, as it will be forever, a failure. He
does not leave a fortune, but five well reared
educated children, each one being able to
paddle his own canoe. and to cheer up their
grieYous mother. The ever joyial Mr.. Boss
will be remembered by those thousands, il
living yet, who have partaken Of his immeas-
urable hospitality in his better days, and not
forgotten by all who knew him, and many
are those who owe to his assistance in time
of need, their present situation. G. NJ.

Original Package Law"

The statement comes from legal sources
in St. Louis that the ''original package
law" passed by the legislature last wint-
er, repeats the local option law. 1t will
be a small misfortune if it does, for this
latter law has never yet been held valid
in single county where test case was
made. Out of sixty-five counties and
cities that adopted it we believe that it is
now only in force in one city and perhaps
two counties.
The ''original package law'' was intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Fogle of
Schuyler county, and it was notintended
to repeal the local option law or interfere
with it in any respect. The object of the
"original package law" is to require per-
sons who sell or give away spurious IL
quors in original packages or otherwise
to first take out a dramshop license. 1t
is intended to break up whiskey and beer
joints and place the liquor business in the
hands of responsible and licensed dealers,
This law is now in force, and any one
who sells intoxicants in original packages
must be either manufacturer or a licens-
ed dramshop- keeper All the penalties
of the old dramshop law cap be invoked j,
and persons convicted of violating the law
are subject to heavy fines and imprson-
ment.-Jefferson City Tribune.

QuayIsm is Republicanism.

After each defeat at the polls certain
number Of decent republicans in Pennsyl-
vania become prodigiously virtuous and
openly resolve that their party must be
purified. There is an element of weak :
ness in these protes tations, however, and
the latest uprising against Saint Matt

John" Wanamaker, "Pious John'
Kemble, Honorable john McManes,
''Angelic DOM Cameron, Righteous
john Delamater, and others of the
same ilk, like all that have preceded it, is
grit round about with declarations that
the 1eform must be within the party and
that nobody but a republican in good
standing can take part in it In other
words, the professed reformers adhere to
the good old republican doctrine which
has made Pennsylvania republicanism
synonymous with thievery that a bad re-
publican is better than a good democrat. !.
Some reputable men figure in the latest
republican declaration of Independence in
Pennsylvania, but they are not in earn

not to attack red-headed men or fat men
or lean men or long men or short men,
nor does he set out with the announce

formers in Pennsylvania have done this
very thing. They assert that they are
foes of public robbers and corruptionists,
but they are not their foes unreservedly.
They will destorv these pluderers if it
can be done without destroying the re-
publican party. and on those terms only.
There is the rub.

The newspapers are rendering Invaluable
service in this direction and a general
stampede in certain localities is about TO
result. The public cannot fail to be ben
Gifted by this upheaval.
The people naturally despise double

politics as we'll as the private business at
fairs of life it always pays man to be
honest. Probably there was 4 time when
members of the Missouri legislature could
hoodwink their constituents. but, happily,
Il different condition of affairs prevails
to-day, and the same man will not fool
the same people twice. The people are
determined to elect men to office who Will
neither intentionally nor ignorantly fall a

men who prefer to basl in the smiles OF
the lobby Will soon tiud themselves pOlit-
