An American Missionary claims that
while on recent voyage of discovery

in a good state of preservation. 1t is
a lucky find, as no doubt some enter

the truthfulness of the report.

A Tough Experienee.

James Dill came to Mexico from
Perry Sunday with his family in a
spring wagon. The roads between
this city and that point are in a fear
full condition, but Mr.. Dill got along
tolerably well until he came in sight
of Mexico. When he entered the
lane leading north to the Cunning
ham bridge, and when near the
slaughter house, his horses mired in
a mud hole which is four or five feet
deep. When they got in the hole
they were powerless to pull out.
The harness was taken off and the
horses helped out by several persons
who came along. They were muddy
all over. A rope was procured and
with it and by the aid of several
fence rails the wagon a pulled to
the surface, after an hours work.
Mr.. Dill and family are thankful that
they escaped with their lives.

The Rainfall In May.

The past month was an unusually
stormy one. There was more or
less rain every day of the 81, with
few exceptions, the bright cases be-
ing few and far between. From 7
a. M. May / to 7 a. m. May 81 the
rainfall amounted to 7.94 inches,
making it the wettest month this
year, and in point of fact, the wet
test since June, 1883, when the
amount of rain was 500 inches.
The haviest rain in May fell upon
the 18th when there was a fall Of
1.48 inches. The normal rainfall
for May is All inches, and last May
the fall was only 2.73 inches; it can
be seen the past month has been an
unusually severe n in regard to
stormy and wet weather.

MIDDLETowN, Mo-, May 30.-At
a meeting of the f. & L. U. of Au-
drain county resolutions were adopt
ed asking the investigating commit
tee to use all means in their power
to see that every man in the county
paid his just proportion Of taxes. In
accordance with such resolution the
committee has made all effort pos
sible to secure just returns of taxa
BILE property, but we cannot say that
we have been altogether successful.
We have good proof that there are
some men in this county who have
failed to give in the full amount Of
their property. We will, therefore
have to appear before the Grand
Jury at the June term of the Circuit
Court, unless proper corrections are
made before that time.
We have a list Of all the merchants
licenses and the largest amount CIV
en- in is S. 5000, while some of them
advertise as high as $40 1000 stocks.
Some carry large insurance. The
taxes are all we want and these we
must have.

to all concerned.

Saturday evening there was a ter
rifle storm passed from the south
west to the northeast. About the
time it struck the Bryan school
house it assumed the shape of a cy-
clone or twister, the first damage in
its course being the stables at the
school house. 1t took them up and
threw them out in the road. 1t
seemed to rise then and the next
thing In its course was DR.. Blanken-
ships smoke house. Turning it en-
tlrely over it rose again and the next
place was the residence of H. l..
Berry. Ii completely tore the top
story off his house, scattering wear
ing apparel, furniture ETC.; in
fact, everything in the house is in a
damaged condition. Clothing of
all descriptions r strung in trees.
The table vas set at the time and
they only saved two cups and a
plate. There was a large grove in
its wake and it literally made splin-
tiers of nearly all the trees of any
size. The next house was w. Bren-
1t lifted his house off the
and moved it several
feet, damaging him greatly. After
there it struck the farm of
C. Berry, tearing his orchard to
pieces. The people came to the
rescue at once and are doing every
thing to help the unfortunate.

U. S. HALL, in the Second Dis
trict against Mansur, carried Carroll
county Saturday by about 500 ma
iority. This gives Hall the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Hall is the late president
of the F. & L. U. of Missouri. He
worked hard to perfect that organi-
zation in this State. He was de-
feated for reelection to his place by
Abiel Leonard, of Saline county, on
the sub treasury and land loan
issue. Mr.. Hall has been a Demo
erat all his life and is a lawyer by
profession. He is accounted one OF
the best politicians in the State, hay
ing a record of never having present
ed the claims of a man in a conven-
ton to have his man defeated. Per-

II r TRIAL.

On May 9th last year holland was
brought to trial before Judge Bur
CESS. Six Of the jury believed the
defaulting treasurer innocent. On
July 18th holland was found guilty
and his punishment fixed at two
years in the penitentiary. This
trial was also before Judge Burgess.
Six of the jurors who brought in the
verdict Of guilty were Democrats
and six Republicans. Noland's at
torneys took his case to the Supreme
Court which has to-day affirmed the
sentence.
On the day holland was suspended
the cash in the treasury was $11 900
short. The examining committee
found discrepancies in the accounts
with the following banks: Union
National Bank of Kansas City, ST.
40S so; First National Bank Of
Kansas City, $1,000; First National
Bank of Jefferson City, $50; State
Bank of Kansas City, 81, 109. 81;
Franklin Bank of st. Louis, 49,
299. 81. These amounts, with the
shortage in the cash, made the
total deficiency foot up $32, 735. so.

every prospect that the Democrats
will have it easy this year. Great
