and self-respecting member of our COM
munity. Taking all the qualifications
into account that go to make success
full teacher, it will be difficultto fill the
professors place, and it remains to be
seen whether the action of our School
Board in voluntarily dispensing with
his services was judicious, or not. Be
that as it may, it is a fact that the pro-
fessor was paid a high compliment by
the School Board of Moberly recently.
The board locked horns for several
weekly sessions over the question
whether the present superintendent of
the Moberly schools or Prof. Scott
should be appointed superintendent for
the coming school year. Prof. Scott
was endorsed by President Norton, of
the Cape Girardeau Normal school, and
other prominent Missouri educators.
The deadlock was only broken by a
petition signed by a large number of
citizens of Moberly requesting the re-
appointmentment of the present in
cumbent A salary of 81 500 year is
attached to the position of Superin-
tendent of Moberiy public schools,
which has been filed by such success
full educators as Hon. L. E. Wolfe,
present State superintendent of public
schools, and by Hon. w. E. Coleman.
after his retirement from the Office of
State superintendent of public schools
in November, 1890, till his death, We
can therefore see that Prof. Scott ranks
high among the educators of Missouri,
and we sincerely hope to hear OF his
appointment TO position adequate to
his merits before the opening of public
schools generally in September next

There was a rumor current in the southern portion of the county to the effect that Burt Potter was contracting tor cattle for big northwestern firm, and paying $12.5O for twos and $16 for threes. Some parties, who had steers for sale, wrote to MT Potter for the facts. His answer was that he was not buying for any one and had offered no such fig ures. The story was evidently started by some evil-minded person with ma licious intent to interfere with some con- tracts already instituted but not con- summated. We are pleased to announce the gentleman failed of hls purpose. As soon as the above facts became known the deals were made and part of the pur- chase money paid.

The enterprising town of Winslow is on the rustic in making preparations for the hereafter as we'll as the present. The first servlce in the Union Church of that town was held on Sunday, Feb, 12, 1893. The Union Church is the third which has been built, and its existence is mainly due to the members of the Ladies Guild of that place. Winslow is to be congratulated upon having women who have the energy and ability to take hold of and complete work of this kind. The thanks of the citizens of the town should be given to T. R. Gabel, the General Superintendent of the 4. X P. R. R. Co.,, and F. T. Aspinwall, the popular agent of the Railroad Company at Winslow, for the assistance rendered by them during the construction of the building.

J. H. Bowman, of Holbrook, presi- dent of the Live Stock Sanitary Com mission, has prepared and proposes to send the following petition to the Secre- tary of the Interior under the new ad- ministration in behalf of the settlers and stockmen of the northeastern portion of Arizona:
 To the Honorable Secretary of the h. terror, Washington, D. C.-Sir: We most respectfully petition and ask that you give the northern portion of our terri tory relief from the constant invasion and encroachment of the Navajo tribe of Indians, more than one-haif of whom constantly run about with their herds of sheep and horses outside the lines of their reservation, erecting no improve ments, paying no taxes, ignorant and indifferent to our laws and constant menace and annoyance to the settlers, thereby preventing the advancement of that portion of our territory.
 We therefore pray that you will at an early date investigate the cause of our complaint, feeling assured that you will then adopt such measures as will afford us needed relief.
 MT. Bowman might have added that they are exceedingly careful when kill ing a beef to select one belonging 10 some white man, and are not overly par ticular in cutting out stray horses that may have gotten into their bands when they drive back to the reservation, but are overly particular in seeing that the horses never get back to the same local ity again. They are also as particular about sheep. Let good sized cut from some white mans flock, get into one of their herds and that bunch starts for the reservation immediately, and the white man can whistle for his sheep. Taken altogether they are not desirable neigh bors,

Natures Surest Ally.

If nature did not struggle against dis ease, even in weakly constitutions, swift indeed would be the course of malady to it's fatal termination. While nature thus struggles let us, lest worse befall us, aid her efforts with judicious medic inal help. Experience must be our guide in battles with diseases, and that ''lamp to our feet" indicates Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters as a safe, tried and thorough ally of nature. If the blood be infected with bile, if the bowels and stomach are inactive, if the kidneys fail to expel inn purities of which they are the natural outlet. a course of the Bltters IS the sursst reliance of the sufferer, one, moreover, that is sanctioned by profes- sional indorsement and use for nearly half century. No American or foreign remedy has earned greater distinction as a remedy for and preventive of chron- ic liver complaint, malaria, constipa- ton, kidney and rheumatic trouble and debility.

but there was look of determination
homeward.
Saturday night came; Arthur and a
couple of officers lay in hiding near
the mill At II O'Clock a strange man
appeared and began to clear away the
top of the rocks. An hour later Mr..
Desmond came in view .Grigson show
ed him the work of the previous
nights. Chow many Of them timbers
will stand after the fuses go off? asked
Grigson, triumphantly.
cit is even better than I expected, :"
said Mr. Desmond. "We'H blow the
thing to atoms. Barstow didn't know
who he was trifing with when he re-
fused to sell this site at double it's
worth, but I guess he'll be willing to
sell it after to- morrow night. What
think you, Grigson?"
"You're bout right, calculate, Mr..
Desmond" answered Grigson.
"To- morrow night,o said Desmond,
about to take his departure. 'I'll lis
ten for the explosion and if I don't
hear it it will be because-''
Because you are behind prison
bars" cried Barstow, as he and the
officers sprang forward. Desmond
fought like tiger, but was over
powered after desperate struggle
and securely handcufed.
Grigson, however disappeared; he
had leaped into the river at the first
of the attack, and though the country
was secured right and left no trace
could be found of either him or his
cave.
The evidence Of the foul conspiracy
was so strong that Desmond was con-
victed in spite of a long, tedious trial
in which he was defended by the best
legal talent that money could afford.
He died before the end of his term in
the state prison and his indomitable
will was conquered at last.
It is needless to add that Arthur and
Annie were happily married.
