F. & l.. U. Quarterly Meeting.

The April meeting of the Audrain
county F. & L. U. will be held with
Cedar Grove Union, 5 miles south
west of Mexico, on Friday and Sat
urday, 22d and sd of April.
Opens Friday at 10 O'Clock a.. m.
All Unions are especially requested
to see that they are represented by
delegates, armed and equipped as
our law directs. There are some
dues that ought to be sent to this
meeting and I hope and expect that
each Union will realize that the only
way now to get the benefits that are
justly due us is to stand by our con-
stitution and demands. Our con-
stitution, however, must be obeyed.
There win be wagons to meet the

This seem to be a great year for the
multiplicity OF candidates, At our
village election yesterday where
there were five trustees to be elected,
there were thirteen candidates, all
anxious to serve the people without
pay, only for the honor there is in
the office. Following are most
of the successful candidates: JOS

Sipple, ]. B. Clark and J. n. Ros-
ser. The remainder are rowing

The regular school election passed
off very quietly. Glenn Doolm was
reelected director. The proposition
to increase the levy for school pur-
poses to sixty-five per cent. was
carried. The proposition to borrow
two thousand dollars to build a new
school-house was carried by a few
votes. We learn that steps will be
Immediately taken to erect a com
modious school building. The prop.
ositlon for an eight months school
was carried by a handsome major,

Two gentlemen last night from

parties an opportunity to have theil
favorite attorney to defend him.

the candidates for Prosecuting At

they fail to clear their friend the,

The Democratic Ticket Elected With
out a SkiR-Seme Scratching,
However.


The city election on Tuesday was
very quiet, A great deal of interest,
nevertheless, was taken in the cleo
ton OF City Attorney. Mr.. Buckley
was elected by a neat majority.
S. c. Hill was elected Assessor
without any opposition at all. We
are surprised to notice how much
scratching was done, especially in
the case of Recorder and City Mar
shal. The Democrats of Mexico
should either vote the ticket or quit
having primaries. The following is

Missouri NunicinoI Elections.

The municipal elections through
out Missouri Tuesday were attended
by hotter contests than for many
years past, and verylarge vote was
polled everywhere. The Democrats
held their own well in all the prin-
cipal cities and towns. The Kan
sas City election resulted in a clean
sweep for the Democracy, William
Cowherd being elected Mayor by
1900 majority over x-Mayor Daven-
port.
Sedalia reelected Mayor Stevens,
Democrat, by a handsome majority.
The interesting incidents of the
elections occurred at Springfield,
Kansas City and West PLANES,
Howell Co, At Springfield, Col. John
O'Day, the former general attorney
Of the Frisco Railroad, had a fight
with one Capt. Johnson, a U. S.
army officer, and got two pretty
black eyes. At Kansas City Rich
ard Gentry, a former resident OF
Mexico, slapped the jaws and broke
the nose of Maj. William Warner Ex-
Commander-in-Chi OF the GAR,
because Warner used abusive Ian
guage in speaking of Democrats
generally. At West Plains James
