His Wife and Two Children.

The police of this city have receiv-
ed requests from the authorities OF
Archie, Mo-, tie be on the lookout for
E. B Soper who murdered his wife
and two children at that place Tues.
day night.
Soper, who is butcher, appeared
on the streets of Archie Wednesday
morning and said that he was going
to Liberty, Clay county, to kill the
devil. His appearance was wild, and
but little attention was paid to him.
The wife and children Of the man
not being seen, it was decided by the
people to investigate the matter, and
the doors Of the house were broken
open, when most horrible sight met
their gaze. On the floor, bathed in
the clotted blood, lay the bodies of
the wife and two children who had
evidently been killed some time Tues
day night. They had been terribly
mutilated and had been beaten with
Il blunt instrument until their heads
and bodies presented a most frightful
appearance.
The criminal has every appearance
of being crazy although there are
many people at Archie who do not
believe it. kilograms have been sent
every where and if he is caught and
returned to Archie it is believed he
will be hung by a mob.

Books and its Results.

w. G. Wakefield of the Dump
vile schools is in a peck of trouble,
in fact he is in jail. His career of
crime was short and unOrdinary. As
the instructor of the youth of Dump

greater than when he was an ordinary
citizen. He was poor in the worldly
sense ofthe term and could not afford
to spend large sums IN educational
works and he deemed it necessary
that he should have them. He bit
upon the scheme of writing 10 the
publishing houses in different parts of
the country requesting them to send
him this and taat text book and rep
resenting himself as the Principal Of
Dumpviile schools. The publishing
houses were obliging they were glad
ly willns to send a sample book if

BAZOO GOSSIP.

| AdIuiant General WlcKnam afIi-
ved in the city yesterday afternoon
from Jefferson City en- route to Chair
ton county TO shoot snIpes.
Genera Wickhsm said that the
reason BE- came this way was that he
would have two or three hours for the
people TO talk encampment to him.
He said that the matter had not taken
definite shape yet. There was about
So, 900 which could be used for en-
campment purposes but he did not
know III that amount was sufficient.
He was in correspondence with the
com missary Of Genersl Merritt of the
u. S. A. at st. Louis and that official
was preparing him an estimate of the
cost and amount of rations that It
would require a weeks camp. ''Col.
Caffee of Carthage is opposed to an
encampment of all the state troops at
one place, said he, but if that plan is
adopted it will require encampments
in four paris of the state and at addi-
tional expense. There are only eight
companies north of the river that are
not on the line of the direct railroads
to Sedalia. These companies could
reach here however at small expense.
There are two companies in the south
eastern part of the state on the Iron
Mountain road that could come here.
Of course it would be a good place
for the st. Louis and Kansas City
regiments to come, aud they can do |
so with as little expense as anywhere
else. / think that a school of instruc-
ton or encampment where all the
state troups are present can do better
work than if they were separated.
Of course the matter will be submit

what will be done.

itican and a member of the late leg

Mr.. Blaine's mysterious visit to
Philadelphia Saturday last is now said
to have been for the purpose Of seeing
about his coal land investments in
West Virginia. The sudden cold snap
is supposed to have reminded him of
the Importance of coal lands. At the
same time, we think the explanation is
a little bituminous.
