Compromise of the A. J. King

Compromise of the A. j. King
case.
Attorney for the county files re-
port.
In substance the report states that
an investigation of the recorders
books was made, beginning with 1890
the last year of service of A. J. King
as recorder making actual inspection
of the entire work done in the Office.
They then proceeded to examine the
business for 1889.
For the year of 1889 the fees were
Sc, 516, King reported to the county
only 8, 595.95. For 1890 the fees
were 5,549. King only reported 49,
Az %.
From the above statement it is
shown that King failed to account for
50, 020.05 in 1889 and for 50, 1O1. %
in 1880. Suit was brought for these
a mounts. King claimed that the ex-
cess shown by the report was for work
for which he had not collected, but
the people knew him to be exceeding
ly close and that he never let a dollar
slipand gave little credit to this claim
The reports closes as follows: Mr..
King now stands ready to pay into
the county treasury all sums so found
TO have been earned by him over and
above the sum of 81, 900 for each year
less whatever amounts the court may
see proper to allow as clerk hire for
the various years in which No allow
ance has heretofore been made.
(Signed) l.. l. SCOTT,
Prosecuting Attorney.
STONE, HOss & KING.
Special Counsel.
Having read the foregoing state
ment / state the same to be correct so
far as the same relates to agreement
with the attorneys for the county,
January %, 1892. The county
court after proper investigation made
the following order:
1t is hereby ordered that attorneys
be authorized to accept s., 402 90 in
full settlement OF the claim of the
county against A. j. King.
PAYS UP N PART.
On the 18th day of January, 1892
A. J. King went to the Office of the
county treasurer and paid in s2l01
and it is presumed he paid the attOr-
neys the same amount. making total
of s42O2 paid in. This leaves bal
ance of $1,000 vet due the county. He
did not pay that in, claiming he was
entitled to clerk hire for two years.
That amount still remains due the
county, and Kings bondsmen will be
held for it unless he puts up the
money.
In the meantime The prosecuting at
torney, acting under the instruction
of the county court, has brought the
matter to the attention of the grand
jury and that body promptly indicted
Mr.. King and he stands under indict-
ment to-day His case was continued
at the last term, but his trial will
come up at the November term Of the
Vernon county circuit court.

WILL BET $4,000.

- SFu"it.
So far there have been few large
election bets made i'm St. Louis. al
though there has been good deal of
tall talking upon the republican side,
with declarations of a desire to wager
any sum from $500 up to SO, 600 on
Harri>ons election. 1t remains. how
ever, for democrat to put I'D the
money and ask republicans to cover
it.
Mr.. Alex. Ullman, president of the
East st. Louis Jockey Club, has re-
ceived instructions from certain East
ern gentlemen to place for them, if
possible, $4,000 in favor of Cleve-
land. Acting under instructions Mr..
ullman says he will wager $4,000,
or any part thereof at even money.
that Cleveland will carry New York.
and will wager a similar sum at the
same odds that he will also carry the
State of Indiana.
MIR. Ulman is now patiently waiting
70 hear of some republican who wishes
% back up Mr.. Harrison and he will
,e glad to have them call upon him
,ither at his office in this city or in
East st. Louis.
The fact that this money il sent
'ere from New York to wager indi-
ates that republicans in the East
ave but little faith in republican sue
ess. otherwise democrats of that Sec
ion would not be forced to seek a
Western market.

The Worlds Largest Active Volcano.

Hawaii is chiefly famous for its volca.
noes, says the Ariatic Quarterly. Kill
auea, the largest active volcano in tue
world, lies on the side of the mountain
Mauna Loa, at an elevation of four thou
sand feet. We usually think of an ele.
vation as a cone, but Kilauea Is rather o
great sunken pit, in the midst of vast
desolate plain which slopes up gently to
the summit of the mountain. It is pit
ofno less than nine miles in circumference
and the area of its lowest level is six
square miles. The level varies; but it
is at present six hundred feet below the
surrounding country, and is reached by
q steep descent down the sheer face of q
precipice, which extends right around
the crater, aud, as it were, walls 1t in.
Within the crater, toward its southern
end, is an inner crater, with one or more
lakes of fire, called Halemaumau, or
House of Everlasting Burnings, which
constitute the true chimney of the vol
cano. Here Kilauea exhibits its cease
less activity. In the outer crater occa-
sional grand eruptions occur, but signs
of the slumbering forces below are ever
present in the form of blowing cones aud
steam cracks, varying in size from mar
row clefts to great assures, from which
issue puffs and clouds of steam, fumes of
hot poisonous gases, and, from some,
liquid lava. The general bed is made
up of countless lava flows, of variety of
forms and contcrtlons difficult to de-
scribe. AT times it is surrounded by q
circle of crags, thrown up from the lake
in molten state and solidided as they
rose. They tower above the level of the
outer basin to the height of 400 to 600
feet. From the top one gazes down
ward into sea Of liquid fire.-Boston

An Increase In Longevity.

"The three.score aud ten years allot-
ted to man, will yet be increased to
twice that number" was the prediction
made by DR.. Charles Heinkle, at the
Laclede. ."Instead of the world grow
ing weaker and wiser, as the old axiom
puts 1t, it is growing wiser and stronger.
The average length of life is steadily in
creasing. In the days of good Queen
Bess women were considered passe at
thirty, and few men distinguished them
selves in statecraft, science or literature
after passing sixty five.
"Now the woman is in the heyday oi
her beauty at thirty, and, the ripest
fruits of genius are frequently plucked
at three score and ten. Gladstone, Bis.
marck and Blaine arc fair examples of
that green aud fruitful old age so fre-
quent in these daye.
"Yet, science IS but in its infancy
As it progresses the waste of life and
energy will be gradually curtailed;
While the fountain Of youth sought by
that interesting old crank, Ponce dc
Leon, will probably mover be found
the secret of remaining an ever young
Apollo. nor woman that of being as at.
tractive at sixty as at sixteen, firmly
believe that the meridian of life will yet
be raised from thirty.6ve to seventy;
that the day will come when man will
not be considered a back number when
he has reached his Tooth birthday. ."-St.
Louis Globe. Democrat.

Randall finished amid uproarious ap.
plause, and sat down, mopping his fore
head with his handkerchief. There was .
moments "vociferous silence" during
which there were some rapid changes Of
sentiment on the part OF Hobart dele
gates. Then "Pop" Gordon rose.
"Mr. Chairman, move that the NOM
ination Of Mr.. Burton be made by ac-
clamation, thar seemin' T. be no more

tionl" came from a dozen threats.
ssAIr. Chairmanp screamed Hobart
"faithful." 81 call the gentleman to-"
Here Bill Dover, chairman of the dis
senter's delegation, grabbed him by the
coat tails and pulled him down. Bill
was an astute politician, and he knew the
day was lost. But the enthusiast would
not "down." When the ayes and noes
were called for, he and half score OF
others came out strongly in the negative,
and when further nominations were de-
clared in order, he rose and nominated
Jere Hobart.
The ballot stood sixty three to thirty
seven in Burton's favor, and Ton
Owens, forgetting that in few minute.
the nominations for sheriff would b,
made, dashed over to Sile's house viii
the news, and was surprised to learl
that anxious little Mrs. Burton was no
there.
But the Chloride visitors who left tc
convey the news of Hobart defeat
home were more surprised than Owens,
when they suddenly found, on the way
home. where the missing delegation was,
and why it was missing, and it almost
took their breath. and the delegations,
away, to see that fire-eating Amazon OF
the rock collapse into very weak tear:
when she heard the glad news.
Hobart and his friends were mad, o
course; but one can not make war on a
woman, you know, and, besides, most
of them came to look on the matter
after awhile, as huge joke.
Boutwell, I am inclined to think
after 1t was over, that he was rather
glad than otherwise. Argonaut.

In the matter of hospitality wo might

the ancient notion that nothing should
be too good for the stranger within their

the theft of which was duly reported to
