The entertainment for the benefit of

pleasant and successful affair. All par
Elephants did we'll and the audience
seemed more than pleased.

The term of Circuit Court just closed
was one Of the lightest We have had for
years. The petit jurors Were discharg-
cd Thursday afternoon and the grand
jurors Friday morning. The latter
body. it is understood found but few
matters to investigate and the number
of true bills returned We're small. Court
finally adjourned Friday at noon and
Judge and lawyers all left for home on
the trains that day.
Among the attendants on Circuit
Court last week was Hon. Louis HOuck
of Cape Girardeau. Mr.. Houck is pres
ident of the Cape Girardeau IL Fl. Smith
railroad and by his energy and talents
has probably done as much for this sec
ton of the State "a any man now liv-
ing. 1t was through his efforts that
the Cape railroad was built and much
else has he done for the town by the
river. M. HOuck says the Cape and
his road are prospecting.
4 mining expert by the name of
Schneider of st. Louis who made an ex-
animation of the silver mines last week,
on departing announced that the prop
erty was an excellent prospect. and
that work therein on large scale
would begin in the near future. PeO
Pile hcreabOuts. however. have little
faith in promises of renewed activity at
The Silver mines for the reason that We
have been 80 often deceived in the past.
We hope for the best. however.

the course of the trouble Crotzer drew
a revolver and shot Callahan who was
taken to the hospital in a serious con-
dition. Crotzer delivered himself to
the officers. bat. pending the result Of
the wound. nothing has been done with
him.
In a small way there was a horse
show on our streets last Friday morn
ING. That j., several of the neighbOr-
ing stock men happened in town and
their prancing steeds drew quite "a
crowd. Thompson Blanton. a Martin
and DIR. Hull. We're present with their
fine horses and many We're the cOmpli-
ments passed on the animals. 1t is
gratifying 10 note the Improvement in
the breed of stock that has taken place
in this section of late years. and it
promises not To be long until this sec
ton becomes noted for its fine horses.
