KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July s.

employed in the law Office of
Trimble & Braley, in the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Building, has
disappeared. He has with him
81 900, obtained by a very clever
forgery, and he is said to also car
ry 50 900 worth of bank stock and
other securities once belonging to
his employers.
July 8 Breese, who is but Is
years old, appeared in the broker
age Office of w. J. Wellman 4
Co., at SIG Delaware street, and
represented himself to Mr.. Woll.
man as being commissioned by Mr.
Trlmble to sell ten shares of bank
stock. Young Breese was identi.
fed, Mr.. Wollman says, by Off
cials of the bank, and the certifi
Gates of stock being presented ane
found apparently signed by Mr.
Trimble, Mr.. Wollman purchased
them for 81 ,OCO. They were duly
and formally transferred to him OF
the books of the bank.
Young Breese, who robbed

City, was captured at Charleston
Mo-, with s665 on his person

Truthful Talk.


There is nothing in which men
more deceive themselves than in
what they call zeal.
1t is not work that kills men; il
is worry. Work is healthful; you
can hardly put more upon a man
than he can bear. Worry is rust
upon the blade.
A man who is not ashamed oi
himself need not be ashamed OF
his early condition.
To be selfish is to be ignoble.
1t is safer to be silent than to re.
veal ones secret to any one, and
telleng him not to mention it.
Behavior is a mirror in which
everyone displays his image.
Laughing cheerfulness throws
sunlight on ali the paths of life.
Content is the best opulence, be-
cause it is the pleasantest and the
surest. The richest man is he who
does not want that which is want
ing to him; the poorest is the mlser,
who wants that which he has.
How difficult it is to get men to
believe that any other man can or
does act from dlsinterestedness.

Well! WeIl..

From the HANNIBAL journal.
When Mr.. Dalton was a member
of the Democratic state committee
he was requested by prominent
Miss ourian to support a certain
young gentleman tor secretary OF
the committee. Mr.. Dalton had pre-
viously pledged his support to an.
mother candidate and was not aware
of the aspirations of the gentleman
whose name was presented to him.
The gentlemen making the request
regretted the situation but, like the
sensible man he is, did not censure
Mr.. Dalton for refusing to violate his
word. The prominent Mlssourian
is an out spoken friend ofMr. Dalton
for governor. The disappointed
young man is for anybody to beat
him. So far this is the extent of
the visible opposition to Dalton in
the state. This is trick of the poll
tician. The young man imagines
that he is paying off a political
debt with interest.

Child Murdered.

Rev. T. w. Brown, of Moberly,
was in Mexico to-day. He says
there was great excitement in Mo-
berly last night, caused by the
arrest of Mrs. Della Davis and Ed.
Davis for numbering the little son,
under year. old, Of Mrs. Davis.
On being arrested Mrs. Davis said
that she had given the child to her
stepson, Ed. Davis, to give away
and he had reported having done
80. The child was found in the
Wabash lake near Moberly with its
head cut off and one arm gone.
Rev. Brown says strong threats oil
lynching the parties were made
last nigh. and the Jail Is kept well
guarded. Davis is a we'll known
fireman on Wabash engine. The
murdered child was the joint off.
spring of the accused.

Trivial Causes of War.
From the American Register.

Among the curiosities of history
is the oft-recurring fact that many
OF the great wars Of the past have
been indirectly brought about by
trifling circumstances. One of the
wars between the Turkish Empire in
the zenith of its splendor and the
Venetian Republic was brought
about by the desire of the Sultan's
physician to marry rich Spanish
heiress. The lady and her mother
escaped to Venice, and the Sultan
sent an official after them to bring
them back with all haste to Con-
stantinople. The Venetian -Repub-
lie was at first willing to comply
with the Sultan's request, but the
ladies succeeded in making their es-
cape to Ferrara, and from thence to
Lyons, in France. The Porte COM
planned that the Venetian Republic
had not used due diligence, and ulti-
mately terrible war broke out over
this trivial circumstance. A con-
temporary historian says !: "The
agent Of the Venetian Government
at Constantinople informed the
council that the reason of the DIS
patch of the Turkish Envoy of Ven
ice was to require on the part of the
Grand Seigneur, that Spanish lady,
named Mendez, with her daughters,
should be delivered up to the Envoy,
and by him brought to CONSTANT
nople. The common rumor was.
that the lady Mendez had promised
to marry one of her daughters to the
son of a man named Rodriguez,
doctor to the Grand Seigneur. The
lady, however, changed her mind,
and fled with her daughters to
Ferrara, where they remained under
