The Only Way to Do IL.

A way has at last been figured
out to reduce the trotting record to
two minutes. 4 rubber-eovered
track is to be built; the horse will
wear rubber shoes; the tires of the
sulky will be rubber the time watch
movement will be constructed of
rubber; the time keeper will wear
rubber gloves; the reins will be
rubber and at the finish the driver
will suddenly give slack to the lines
when the trotter will bound under
the wire at the speed of 40, 900 feet
IA second. The trotring record will
then be busted. This ought to
rub 'er out. Sedalia would be a
good place to make the trial.

~ A&~t -
inches tall, supposed to have been
dead three or four weeks, was found
in Geo. Batterton's pasture, 2 miles
northeast of Sturgeon. The body
was in a horribly deeomposed state,
the flesh having fallen off of face
and skull, also partly off of arms.
The corpse had an old valise under
the skull, which was used as a pill
low and was filled with miscellane-
GUS articles. The death is a mys-
terry and no one remembers of ever
seeing the deceased alive.

administering justice. In fact some
have been the victims of all these
shortcomings, and mere criticism
was too good for them. The Judge

in a bottle of malevolence and hang
it up in a skein of street yarn; keep
it in a hot atmosphere and shake it
occasionally for a few days and it
will be fit for use. Let a few drops
be taken before walking out and
