The jeweler, who sailed under the
enphoneous name OF O'Connor, and
who beat W. E. Cason, of the Trip
lett Rustler, out of 81 about three
months ago, has been heard from
again. 1t seems that he has been
stopping at Burton, Howard coun-
~. and went over to Fayette one
day last week, where he Joined the
salvation army. Before leaving
town he got quite as full of liquor as
salvation, and on boarding an ev-
eninG train for home he had a fit and
fell of the train, when he jumped up
and started of on a run, evidently in
a demented condition. The wretch
was caught and cared for at Fayette
until the next day. when he was sent
back to Burton. Such is the sad
fate of a fellow who beats the poor
printer.

The colored Methodist church, at
Salisbury, was struck by lightning
about II o'clock Monday night and
destroyed. The colored Masons had
their hail in the upper story of the
building, and lost all their lodge
-paraphernalia, as did also a colored
ladies' society. The colored cook at
DR.. jennings said that the ladies
had lost all their "court" dresses.
which is indeed sad considering that
Salisbury hopes to obtain two terms
of circuit court, and the colored la
dies, of that place, are now unpre-
pared to attend, having lost their
"court" costumes.

Storm Swept.

A terrific tornado swept over the country
Tuesday night, the terrible results of which
were felt in four different states, Kansas, Ne
braska, Indiana and Missouri.
IN MISSOURI
In Lafayette county the course Of thestorm
was miles long and 100 yar,s wide and
along its entire path not a farm house nor a
tree was left standing. Five persons were
killed outright and four, perhaps five, others
fatally wounded
In the western part of Crawford and the
OF damage was done to property, and 10 or
II people killed.
Thousand of dollars worth of property
was destroyed near Stanbcrry, Gentry
county, and two women repert,., killed be-
sides other persons who were seriously in.
jured.
The damage to property at St Louis is
placed at 100000, but no lives were lost.
Marshall was also in the wake of the Storm
where fences, sheds and outhous,,s were blown
down. Lightning struck Robt rinley's barn
in the southern part of Saline county, killing
nve head OF good horses and destroying the
barn and its contents.
At Mexico the Fleet Military academy and
Hardin college were damaged tn the amount
of several hundred dollars, many houses were
unroofed, barnE demolished and fences blown
down.
In Howell county, north of Vest Plains, q
was destroyed, and Mr.. Tomkins and his son
were badly injured. "A great deal of damage
was also done to small buildings and fences,
In other portions of the county.
From many localities the reports from the
storm are meager, and it is difficult to esti-
mate the amount of loss TO property and the
number OF human lives hurled into eternity.

Representative Williams, of Salis-
bury, was over Wednesday and paid
his respects to the COURIER while
here. Mr.. Williams says that he has
good reasons for every vote that he
cast during the session OF the legisla-
ture. although be realizes that, in
some respects, his action did not
meet the approval Of many of his
constituents. His vote for the re-
peal of township organization was
due to the large expense attendant
upon municipal townships controll-
ing their own affairs, while his vote
for two terms of circuit court, at
Salisbury, was matter OF local
pride for his town. He says that all
men elected to u public Office put
themselves upfor target TO be shot
at by public opinion, and that he
has proved no exception to the rule.

A Sad Sight.

A sad sight occurred in the circuit
court room last Thursday afternoon
when six boys, a We white boys and
one negro. were arraigned before
Judge Rucker. Four OF the boys
were from Council Bluffs, Iowa, and
we're charged with burglarizing a
freight car, at Brunswick, and steal
ing some clothing. All entered a
Flea of guilty and were sentenced to
the county jail for twenty days with
the understanding that they were
to leave the county at the expira-
ton of their jail sentence. All ad-
mitted that they had good homes,
in Council Bluffs. but concluded to
take q trip TO st. Louis. They were
Cn their way back home at the time
they got into trouble at Brunswick.
Jim Swinney, OF Keytesville, the ne
gro boy, was charged with burglary,
having entered Kellogg's saloon
through a rear window two weeks
ago. He admitted that it was not
his first offense. but said he would
not do so any more. He was sent
to the county jail for four months.
The sixth boy was Ed Shoemaker,
who forged the name OF w. j. An
derson, a farmer of near Salisbury,
to several checks on the Peoples
bank. Shoemaker said the forgeries
were his first offense, and he did not
realize. at the time, the gravity of
the crime he had committed, and
promised not to do so again and
that he would go to work and earn
an honest living hereafter. He was
sent to jail for twenty days. All
six of these boys, neither of whom
was 10 years old, had committed
offenses that would have landed
them in the state prison had they
been Of penitentiary age. Judge
Rucker gave Sheriff Dempsey rigid
instructions to keep all of the young
law-breakers on the rock pile when
the weather was suitable during
the period of their punishment and
to keep them in jail when they could
not be worked on the rock pile.
Judge w. J. Parks. one OF the
CoURIER's staunch friends OF near
Shannondale. made US an appre-
ciated call Monday. Judge Parks
is not only one of those wholesouled
gentlemen who is always good ma
tured himself, but manages to i'm
part his disposition Of sunshine to
all with whom he comes in contact.
The Judge showed rs a piece of ore
that was recently picked up on his
farm by bis son, James, and asked
our opinion of the find. Not being
an expert in that line we could not
give a satisfactory reply-in fact, We
have not seen any gold for so long
that we are loath to believe that
there is any in the country and
we told the Judge we thought he had
a piece OF iron ore, but our opinion
went for naught. The Judge says
that he is going to send the nugget
to Jaccard, at st. Louis. and thinks
maybe he has a gold mine on his
farm
