AN EXAMPLE OF IMPUDENcE.

In This Tale a Vice Is Carried to the Apex
of the Sublime.
She was a very sweet, gracious old
lady; her manners were full of dig
nifty; when she conversed with a
young man it was distinction for
him; when she conversed with a
girl it was an honor for that girl.
When I first knew that old lady, she
lived in large house and kept car
riage; she gave rather stately dinner
parties; she had rather formal re-
ceptions; she was the queen of the
quarter where she lived Everybody
respected her, and all those who had
the privilege of her friendship loved
her. Suddenly she let her great
house and gardens and removed
into quite small villa, with little
garden; also she gave up her car
riage and limited her household to
one servant And she gave no more
parties.
1t was understood that this dear
old lady had lost her fortune. But
nobody knew the facts, nor could
anybody ask. She retired to this lit
tie villa and continued to have re-
ceptions, at which tea and home
made cake were the only luxuries
offered. Also, there arrived at ties
juncture niece, of whose existence
no one had previously been aware.
She was not nice, this lady; it is no
fault to be no longer young or
good looking, but one ought at least
to be well bred and good tempered
Now, after year or two, during
which the bitter tongue and the bad
temper of the niece caused continual
misery to the old lady, there came
time of sickness. It was the plague
of influenza. Many of us in the
quarter had it very badly, among
others the old lady's niece. For the
old lady's sake, not from any love of
our own, we were shocked to learn
that the niece was dead.
A month or two afterward the old
lady told me a story. She said:
you know that I lost all my money.
1t was lost for me. It was my man
of business who stole 1t. he forged
a power of attorney and sold my
stocks; he gambled with the proceeds
and lost the whole. When there
was no more, he confessed the rob
berry. But, he said, to prove the es-
teem in which he held me, he had
brought his only child with him, and
he would leave her with me until
better days So he kissed my hand
and left me, and that" she ex-
planned, ''is the reason why l had
to leave my dear old house and to
receive this poor creature whose un-
fortunate manners and bitter tongue
made me miserable all day long.

Arrested in This City.

John Repfrow alias Lee J. Spencer alias
j. Hamilton was arrested by acting mar
shal, Frank Maloney, in this city Monday
night on suspicion OF having committed
crime in Chehaiis, WASH, and being
wanted in that place to answer the
charge. Not deeming the city lookup
sufficiently secure Mr.. Maloney took his
prisoner to the county jail, and he was
placed in custody of the sheriff. The
fellow has beenworking for man named
Scott at Horse Shoe Bend, Wash, and
was in town with him when the arrest
was made. 1t seems that Renfrow had
been guilty of adultery; but before the
trial was had left Chehalis for parts un-
known. Last October he was found in
Portland, and the sheriff went there and
arrested him. On his route back, he
managed to escape from the train at
Scappoose, and has not been heard of
since until arrested by Mr.. Maloney.
Last night Sheriff Burnett arrived in The
Dalles in answer to u telegram sent. He
went to the Jail this morning and recog-
nized Renfrow as the man wanted In Che
halls to answer the charge of adultery.
When arrested he gave his name as j.
Hamilton, but had re2eipted bills in his
pocket to Lee J. Spencer, and his mail
had been received at this postoff1ce to
that address. To Sheriff Burnett when
first seen by him he pretended not 10 be
the man; but when closely questioned
his identity. He will be
taken back to Washington in the morn
ms, where he will stand trial for the
crime named. Prison life will be rather
rksome to him now after his freedom OF
he past few months; but he was not
lucky in his perambulations, and should
have kept clear of the Ugilant police Off
GERS at The Dalles if he inteded to retain
MS freedom.

.s-7rKirksyille is ready to vote
for q system of water works that
will be the best in the state.
~ -Kirksville can now furnish
water for all the towns around
her. It is something to be proud
of.
The people wanted pure water
before voting for water works. and
they have it. Now let us have
the water works.
When Macou City's pond
goes dry again, she can draw on
Kirksyille's Artesian well for q
supply of pure, soft water.
Circuit Court opens next
Monday. The docket is long and
the best paying one for the law
yers that there has been for many
years.
Mr.. Cleveland would feel
much happier if he had Repub-
lIcan Congress to assist him In
administering the affairs of the
country.
Mr.. Hatch deserves some
credit for hsying thus far during
the extra session, refrained from
introducing his option bill to bore
Congress and the people.
The problem of water
supply for Kirksvllle has reached
solution, and our city now has
enough pure, soft water for half
dozen towns of its size.
The President called Con-
gress in extra session, and he
should now request that body to
adjourn, and remain adjourned
until his administration is over.
The finding OF such won
derful supply of water makes it
possible for Kirksville to have the
best systems of water works and
sewerage in the country, and she
will have them.
The President is out of hu-
NOR with congress. 1t is to be
hoped that his anger will reach a
stage that will drive all ideas Of
tariff reform out of his head dur
ing his administration.
There will be no more dis
putting or discussions il regard to
the frog pond system of water
works for Kirksvllle. We have
the water, and the only thing to
do is togo ahead and put in water
works.
The Kirksville Water Com
pany went 1897 feet to secure an
unfailing supply of water. 1t is
fact, however, that sufficient
pure, soft artesian water, to run
any ordinary factory or mill, can
be obtained at a depth of 430 feet.
THE men who came to the
front and took stock in the artes-
ian well have done grand thing
for Kirksville. The city should
now take the we'll at $1,000 less
than cost, and lose no time in
giving us first class system of
water works. Let there be a
prompt move in the matter that
work may begin early nextspring.
1t is said that business
must wait on the action of the
Senate and the time has come
when the people would like to see
that body do something more than
make speeches. A month ago the
vote of the House caused SPAS
modic revival of business, for the
public took it for granted that the
Senate would in little while
comply with what was very re-,
sluctantly assumed to be the desire
of the great body of the people.
