The Democrat says that the

Graphic is unsettled as to whom
it would like to have for post
master. Yes, the GRAPHIC is we'll
settled on that point. 1t would
like man for postmaster who can
attend to the Office with one pair
of eyes. One who knows enough
about business to be gentleman
ly and courteous to those whom
he serves; one who can find a per-
sons mail when it is called for; /;
one who will not lore the patrons
of the Office to death for months
while he is learning the business,
In short the GRAPHIC would like
to see the most competent man get
the office, whether the politicians
favor him or not.
--There was one speech
Tuesday afternoon duiing the ex
ercises of Baldwin day that was
not down on the program. 1t was
the speech OF Hon. G. c. Fogle,
one of the most prominent Demo-
cratic politicians of North Mis-
souri,. After referring to the hap
py days spent in the Normal
school and paying an eloquent
tribute to It's founder, DR.. Bal
OWN, he compared the present
prosperity of the hirksville Nor
NAL with that Of the school at
Warrensburg. The KirksYille
| Normal, he asserted, at one time
had greater reputation than any
otEer school In the state. not ex-
cepting the University. Had the
school been honestly conducted as
it should have been 1t would now
have 1900 students instead OF q
little more than g third of that
number. He showed how the
school at WafrsDs!,nrg had gone
on increasing until now its stu
dents number more than 1000.
The great success of the Normal
at Warrensburg he attributed to
the fact shat the management of
that school had no political COM
binations to build up. and no
banking institutions to foster. He
asserted that he knew what he
was talking about, and that he tod
only small part of what he knew.
The speech came like the explo-
sion of a boTabshell and was re-
ceived with yociferous applause.
Ten years ago it would have been
political death for q politician to
have proclaimed to the public the
causes that have made the Kinks
vile Normal take second place
among the Normal schools of the
State. None but Fogle would
do it now. He has wrought a
good work, and the influence of
his speech will be felt in the
years to cor1e.

At meeting of the Board
of Regents Wednesday afternoon
W. r. Laughlin of Monroe City,
was elected Secretary of the board,
and r. NJ. Ringo treasurer of the
school.
At the meeting of the Board
of Regents Thursday afternoon,
all the old faculty were reelected
except Prof. Sheldon, who resign
ed. Prof. Proctor WAS elected to
Prof. SheIdon's position. Prof
Arnold had his salary increased
TO $1,000.
IS. NJ. Picker as master Of GER
emonies on Baldwin day WAS the
right man in the right place. The
great success and enjoyment OF
this eyer to be remembered oc-
casion, were largely due to his
happy faculty of saying what
should have been said and doing
what shouldihave been done at the
proper time.
The exchange bank at Mo-
berly failed Tuesday. This bank
was the depository of the Moberly
Building and Loan Association,
and the Moberly school fund
The Laborers of the Wabash rail
road were also large depositors.
The bank opened at 9 o'clock as
usual and received deposits and
an hour afterward closed its
doors.
The report has been circu-
lated that MIR. Charley Gartrell
mas withdrawn from the postofice
contest. The GRAPHIC has the
authority to state that Mr.. Gar
trell has not Withdrawn from the
contest, nor does he intend to do
50. When nine-tenths of the pa
irons of the Office want him for
their next postmaster there is no
reason for him to get ont of the
race.

having daily capacity of 1000
cans of three pounds each, will
not cost for its entire equipm ent
more than sl00, exclusive of the
building and the brick used for
the chimneys and to set the ket-
ties. The equipment for a 4,00OI
canning factory can be had for
$500. Not including bricks or
building tllree hundred dollars
will buy the equipment for a fac
tory turning out daily 10000 cans
of three pounds each. The aver
age labor cost in 1000 can fac
tory is about S25 per day.
The Democrat of last week
declared that the only interest the
GRAPHIC had In the postotfice
fight, was to raise HI among the
Democrats. Any one who has
watched the course of the GRAPHIC
and who does his thinking in the
front part Of his head instead of
behind his ears, would know bet
ter than to make such statement.
The GRAPHIC has more business
with the postoffice than any other
firm in the city, and from bust
ness stand point, if nothing else,
desires to see the most competent !
man get the office. AS to raising 3
sheol among the Democrats that e
is not the GRAPHIC's business. r

program in charge, and Judging y
by the latest evidence, he is sue r

The Story of a Needle.

NOBLESVILLE, Aug. 4.-Special.-
Some six or seven years ago Mrs. w.
w. Richie of this city accidentally
swallowed a needle. AS it was the
source Of no pain, but little was thought
of the occurrence until a few days ago,
when Mrs. Ritchie felt a sharp prick
ing in her left side. Upon investiga-
ton it was found that the steel needle
which she had swallowed so long ago
had lodged beneath the skin and that it
was just then forcing its way out. 1t
was extracted with the aid of a pair
of tweeZers and was as highly polished
as the day when it was made in the
factory. Although it had been in her
body for at least six years, she never
experienced a particle of pain from it.

sELLERsBURG. Aug. 1.-special.-
A sorrowful tragedy occurred at m
early hour this morning at Henry
Dold's. who lives az little distance
from this town. His near neighbors
are tho Cuddys. family composed OF
Michael Cuddy. his wife and several
children.
Yesterday Mr. Cuddy went 10 Jeffcr-

considerably there during the day. lie
arrived here on the o'clock train this
morning and proceeded. ah he thought.
20 his own home, but he made mistake
ana tried 10 get into Dold's house.
Dold was awakened by the noise and.
he says, he thought that a burglar was
trying 70 gain an entrance 10 hts home
After making several inquiries OF the
man he could get no answer. lie then
took his shotgun and banged away
through the door.
Upon opening the door Cuddy was
found dead on the steps. lie was filled
with shot and had evidently died in-
stantly. Dold, upon recognizing tho
dead as Cuddy, was very much sur
prised. and soon after explained the
matter and announced that he was
ready 10 give himself up 10 the proper
authorities.

A MINISTER IN TROUBLE.
His Wife Sues for Divorce and Makes
Serious Charges.

Serious Charges.
RICHMOND, Aug. 3.-Special-The
Rev. c. C. Goodrich of Detroit. Mich,
arrived here today. He is pastor of one
of the leading congregational churches
there, and this is his first appearance
here for several years.
Some months ago he filed suit for
divorce from his wife, Mrs. Hattie Good
rich, of this city, formerly Miss Brown,
and a few weeks ago Mrs. Goodrich
filed a suit here for divorce from her
husband. The fact became known to the
reverend gentleman but recently, and
brought him almost Immediately to this
city.
Some time ago he became involved in
some trouble in his church. a member
charging him with undue intimacy with
one of the lady members During a
meeting held to investigate the facts
the Rev. Mr. Goodrich assaulted one of
his accusers, and the incident produced
quite a sensation. He has finally man.
aged to clear himself with his congrega-
ton, and is, therefore, very naturally, eN-
tremely anxious TO square himself in the
divorce case, as Mrs. Goodrich in her
complaint charges her husband with
committing adultery with various per-
sons while they were living as man and
wife in Boston, Mass. Should Mrs.
Goodrich be granted a divorce it would
be a severe blow to the Rev. Mr. Good
rich, and his determination to fight the
case TO the end is evident.
Mrs. Goodrich has employed lawyer
John =. Robbins TO manage her affairs
in the case. and when il comes up for
trial next month some sensational de-
VelOpments are expected.
