Wesley Watts, son of Johnson
Watts, who lives about two miles
southwest of B Bowling Green, Pike
county, met with sad death Tues
day night. Monday evening de-
ceased was in Elsberry and in COM
pany with Walter Mayes started
home just before sundown. The lat
ter had a Jug of whiskey which he
was taking home for medical pur-
poses, and on the way Watts took
three or four drinks, which was not
thought to be enough to intoxicate
him. They went on together until
they reached Watts barn, and then
Watts rode on to his fathers house.
In going to the stable where he kept
his horse it was necessary to go
through the yard, and one of his
sisters saw him go past the window
about six O'Clock. His supper was
left on the table with a light burn
ing, and as he didn't have to pass
through the room of the rest of the
family, it was supposed that he had
eaten supper and gone to bed. The
next morning his father went to his
room to wake him, and was sur
prised to find that the room had not
been occupied during the night.
Fearing that his horse had kicked
and hurt his son, Mr.. Watts started
to the stable, but when he reached
the porch, saw him lying stiff in a
corner OF the yard, almost dead. He
was taken into the house and DIR.
Hemphill was sent for. The doctor
worked with him all day, but SO
thoroughly was the unfortunate man
chilled that complete circulation
could not be started. Heroic meas
ures were resorted to and kept up,
but all to no purpose, and death
came about II o'clock on Tuesday
night. Lying out for over twelve
hours in the cold of Monday night
was too much for human endurance,
and human agencies could not
counteract the work of that night.

A negro named Tom Roman COM
mitted suicide in Huntsville last
Sunday night by jumping in well.
He was in Moberly on Saturday
night, and was known to have filed
up with liquor, and it is believed he
had delirium tremens. Some months
ago Roman was in Moberly in COM
pany with several colored lads from
Huntsville. On their return home
some one of them struck January
Wiley, ,one of the party lin the head with
a club, and his body was found next
morning at the depot. The theory
is advanced by some that Roman
knew more of the killing than he told
at the coroner's inquest, and this
preyed upon his mind to such an ex-
tent that he ended his life as above
stated.

Baker refused to give them up and
notified the authorities, who soon
arrested them. The Duncans are in
no way related. except that a sister
of one of the men is the wife of the
other. This woman was also taken

same charge and was fined 500,
which has not been paid. 1t is
thought she will be rearrested. Sew
eral hundred counterfeit dollars are
in circulation in Nodawaya and Worth

an organized gang in the neighbor-
hood who are manufacturing and
passing the bogus money.

highly elated when an official repset

Democratic Folly in Kansas.

New York Times, Democratic: 1t is
not surprising that many of the Demo-
Gratis of Kansas arc dissatisfied with the
action of the state convention in fusing
with the Farmers alliance and adopt
ing the Peoples Party ticket in that
state. The kind of expediency implied
in this action is not only thoroughly
unprincipled, but it is shortsighted as a
matter of policy. 1t may possibly Re
suit in the temporary defeat OF the re-
publicans, but it can hardly fail to
weaken the Democrats as an organiza-
tion. Nothing could be more inconsist-
ent with the principles of the democrat
ic party than most of the declarations
that serve the purpose of platform for
the Peoples Party, and to give counten-
ance to such wild vagaries by a fusion
in support of its ticket is sure to result
in losing hold upon the convictions OF
the people who are sincere Democrats.
1t would be better to forego any sup
posed temporary advantage in such a
combination than to sacrifice principle
and invite distrust and disatfection by
giving support to mischievous delus-
ions. Already it has caused serious
division in the party in Kansas.

Legitimate use of Edltorlal spnce.

Aberdeen News: Mr.. Wheelock's
address on the legitimate use of editor
ial space, read before the association,
was an able exposition of the question
and was highly complimented. The
News, while not able to give it COM
pletely, excerpts a few noteworthy
clauses:
THE recognition of journalism as a
profession OF the first rank dates back
but few years, comparatively speak
ing, and yet it seems judged by a code
of ethics more rigid in it's obligations
than that applied to any other avoca-
tion in life. Of no other profession is
it demanded by public opinion, that it
be governed by motives almost if not
absolutely disinterested.
** The newspaper man is expected
to contribute hundreds of dollars in
time and talent and space each year
to the common good, where his fellow
business men would not think of con-
tributing either time or talent, gro
ceries Or greenbacks, without "quid
pro quo"
The newspaper is primarily a
business enterprise, and to be success
must be governed by the same princi-
pies which should actuate honorable
men in all lines of occupation.
1t is unfortunately true in
many instances that this business esti-
mate is not held up, but dollars worth
OF space and even Of printed news is
given away under mistaken sense ol
obligation. X * A newspaper should
have a standard of principles out ol
reach OF any mercenary considerations
** The editor has a right to insist
that his special advocacy OF any views
in harmony with his own, to the neglect
of other matters OF general interest, be
paid for.

iner Diamond related the following in
cidentas having come under his personal
observation: A prominent third party
talker was railing against national
banks in the usual strain. He denounc-
ed them as enjoying special privileges
and made the assertion that they could
get all the money they wanted from the
government at two per cont. Mr.. Dia-
mond asked him if he was sure of this.
He was, of course, for all of those chaps
are. Then ensued the following colloquy:
Mr.. Diamond-You have some money
on deposit at your own home national
bank, have you not?
Mr.. Reformer-Ycs; have Il ccrtif-
cate OF deposit.
Mr.. Diamond-What interest does
your bank pay you on it?
MIR. Reformer-Four per cent.
Mr.. Diamond-And yet you ask me to
believe that shrewd business men who
can get all the money they want from
the government for two per cent. are
willing to pay you just twice that
amount.
Mr.. Reformer said he would go home
and think it over.
