Where Are They!

The Mexico InteMgencer says:
"Since Editor Vandiyer, of the Key.
tesviIle COURIER, routed a gambling
den in his town he carries a gold.
headed cane and wears a plug hat,
presented to him by law and order
citizens"
The above is mistake, so far as
we know. But if it be that some fel.
low, who can not possibly be ashand-
some as us, has represented that he
was us, and has been presented with
gold headed cane and a plug hat,
by law and order citizens, then we
raise our protest. and kick with a
mighty kick, and will proceed to
camp on that scoundrel's trail the
moment we strike it.

Mrs. Wm. Sneller, a wealthy old
German lady. living in the Bruins
wick bottom, died last Sunday from
the effects of stroke of paralysis.
Mrs. Sneller was 81 years of age,
and on last Thursday evening milk
ed the cows as was her custom, after
which she cooked supper and cleared
away the dishes. She then went to the
family room and sat down in a chair.
Her husband had, in the meantime,
fallen asleep, and come time after
wards awoke, and looked up at Mrs.
Sneller and supposing her to be
asleep, Mr.. Sneller again passed into
the land of nod and did not awake
again until a youth, who lives with
them, returned from a party, which
was, it is said, about 10 O'Clock.
Mr.. Sneller then got up and crossed
the room to where his wife was seat
ed to wake her, and laying hold OF
her arm he found that her body was
cold and rigid. A doctor was sum-
moned as quickly as possible, and
all was done for the good housewife
that medical skill could suggest, but
with no avail further than TO pro-
long life until Sunday morning,
when the angel of death called Mrs.
Sneller's spirit home. Funeral ser
vices were conducted, at Brunswick,
Wednesday by Rev. +. q. Walther, of
the Lutheran church, after which
the deceased's remains were laid to
rest in Elliott Grove cemetery. Mrs.
Sneller had no children, but leaves a
husband who is some 20 years her
idnior. She is said to have left an es-
tate valued at 100000 or $4,000.
Her nearest living relative is her
brother, Mr.. VIM. Sasse, OF Bruins
wick, who is now &c years old, and
will come in for a large share of the
estate. Mrs. Sneller was an aunt
of "Sap" Sasse, OF Keytesville, who
is a son of VIM. Sasse, Mrs. Sneller's
brother. So "Sap" will, perhaps
some OF these days, "get a raise"
from his aunt's fortune.

A Deserving Case Of Charity.

The BrunsWicker says: Sometime
ago a man by the name OF IL. c.
FrUst, with his wife and infant child,
came here from st. Louis in absolute
poverty. He seemed to be honest
ard desirous OF doing well, but was
half sick, out OF work, without a
dollsr, and nothing to eat, and no
friends, no acquaintance. They
moved into hull of a house in the
west end OF town, and the man
started out for work. He at first
got work at the stave factory for a
few days. but he was delicate and
could not stand up to the hard la
Dor there. The mill men gave him a
lighter job, but in a few days it shut
down for the winter. He tried else
where for work and soon ran across
Rev. j. X. A. Vaughan and Mr.. John
Bragg. Mr.. Vaughan gave HIM n
cord of wood to saw. That started
him and soon he had made four or
five dollars. But he gave out again.
The attention of several citizens
was called to him as a man who was
poor, hut perhaps honest, and out
of work. They interested them
selves in the poorfellow, and this week
when Mr.. j. n. Gaines was in town,
Mr.. r. G. Beaxley called his atten-
ton to the man, who at once en-
ployed him. giving him a house to
live in, two cows to milk, some
chickens and n garden, and $13 per
month for whole year. Thus a
few good men, by simply trying,
have sa, r,l "A iellow-being from suf-
fering anu trrhaps despair. He will
now get th,e- meals q day, instead
OF want. poverty, cold and hunger in
st. Louis. and everybody who aided
him feels better for having improved
an opportunity to do kindness to
those who need il much.

Bad Side walks.

1t pays to have good sidewalks.
The Yandalia Leader says of Mexi-
co:
'Dilapidated sidewalks sometimes
prove to be an expensive thing. j..
). Copper, of Mexico, will bring suit
against that city for $4,000. He
claims that amount of damage for a
sprained ankle which he received
from a fall on a defective sidewalk"
There are a number of sidewalks in
Keytesville that are dangerous to
walk over and it is only a question
OF time when some one will get hurt
on them, and then a suit for dam
ages against the city is sure to fol-
low.
The stable should be locked before
the horse is stolen. Let the side
walks be repaired, and thus prevent
a damage against the city on &C
count of dilapidated and dangerous
walks, bad street crossing, etc.

At a meeting OF the city council,
IN Brunswick, on Thursday night OF
last week, Jasper Zimmerman filed
complaint against Brunswick's may
or, John III. Heisel, charging him
with using profane, loud and indie
cent language on the streets OF that
city. But Mr.. Zimmerman's COM
plaint seemed to have not availed,
as City Attorney Perkinson took
the view that il it was desired to re-
move or impeach the mayor that
the proper way would be to file COM
plaint before Police Judge Miller,
and have Mr.. Heisel tried on the
merits of the charges preferred
against him. At the same time the
city attorney pledged, if this were
done, that he would prosecute the
case against the mayor just as he
would against any other individual
accused OF wrong doing. A majority
OF the council, Messrs. Hagen, r. 81.
Smith and Freeman, coincided with
the views OF the city attorney,
but Aldermen Benton and j. r.
Smith seemed to want impeachment
proceedings to commence before the
council instanter. OF course the
majority ruled, and action against
Mr.. Heisel was Indefinitely post
poned.
