loan and insurance dealer OF
Memphis, Mo-. replying to certain
squibs being quoted from the Gate
City and Globe Democrat of June
20, 1894, wherein a Memphis cor
respondent blows his own bugle,
says: that while he (Bartlett) new

stories, to amuse prayer meet

street brawls and pugelistic en-
counters (with their inevitable ac-
compartment profanity and filth }
to display his concentrated BRAY
cry or crafty the baser rabble, he
may, occasionally, step on dog S
tail and make him howl, in order
to get a good advertisement. And
if the Howler dislikes the pinching
process, he should be sensible
enough to keep his nose out of
other people affairs, or his "tale"
out of reach of the metallic heel of
Bartlett's business interests.

1t is gratifying to see how liberal
ly the people of KirkSville have
patronized their new school, the
Conservatory of music and Ian
guages. Though but one year old,
in music proper over 120 pupils
were enrolled, in the languages
over $50. In the different studies
over 200 pupils are counted. Pro

this summer a board of directors
and then incorporate the Conserva-
tory so that diplomas and degrees
can be legally conferred. All of
our good citizens, the business
world in special, are kindly asked
to double their patronage. 1t
surely will pay our town. Profes-
sor Goldberg, teachers and pupils
from abroad, have spent no less
than $500 during the last year in
Kirksville stores. Please concen-
trate your attention upon the Con

cerned, and you will benefit and

The Taylor Brothers Captured.

William Price Taylor and George
Edward Taylor, wanted in Linn
county, Mo-, on the charge of the
brutal murder of the Meeks fami-
ly near Browning, the night of
May 10, are now in this city in
charge of j. c. South of Baxter
county, who captured them at
Buffalo City, in Marion county,
last Saturday.
The two do not deny their identi
| ty, but declare their innocence.
| William p, who acts as syokes-
man for the two, said this morn
ing: "We met Mr.. South last
Monday at Buffalo City, at the
Hayes house. where we We're stop
ping. He had evidently read of
us and the terrible crime attribut-
ed to us and on Saturday last,
while we were purchasing some
shoes in Mr.. Hayes's store, he
asked us if we were not the TAYLOR
brothers. We told him we were,
when he placed us under arrest,
and surrendered our pistols without
any offer of resistance, and volun-
tarily accompanied him to this
CITY. We are entirely guiltless of
the crime with which we are
charged and had intended leaving
on skiff for Batesville anyhow
and returning home for trial. We
hope to get bail and can give it,
any sum-s5O.OOO if necessary.
The murder of the Meeks family
occurred on the night of May 10,

lynch us if they caught us. We

us. But Mr.. Sonth has treated us
handsomely and we will never for
