The tabernacle meeting, five miles north of
town. is still going on with considerable in.
terest and will continue over next Sunday
There have been something like 130 conver-
siohs, perhaps n little more, possibly less.
The audience last Sunday was very large.
The tabernacle which has a capacity to seat
one thousand was full and running over
0urself and better half are indebted to
Messrs. A. y. Taylor, Millard Courtney and
Others at whose generous board we Jared
sumptuously last Sunday, and also to sever
al otheres who invited us to partake OF their
hospitality. I'VE never saw a better or more
bountiful supply Of provision than is sup
piled by the generous people of that vicinity
for their Sunday basket dinners. There was
plenty to satisfy the demands Of every one
on the ground, and many basket fulls re-
turned unused, The endurance OF Rev. and
Mrs. Buchanan for so long a time, the one
to do the preaching. and much of tina pray
ing, and the otner to lead in the singing, is
remarkable.

Doctor Watts Dead.

Mrs. Capt. Wallace received infor-
nation last Saturday evening that
her father, DR.. j. j. Watts, of Fay
cite, was dangerously i'll. In order
to reach there as soon as possible
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace left for Fay
cite by private conveyance late Sat
urday evening. They found the Doc.
tor still alive, but there were no
hopes of his recovery. Mrs. Wallace
remained, and the Capt. returned
home Sunday evening. On Tuesday
evning Capt. Wallace received
a telegram from Mrs. Wallace
bearing the sad intelligence
OF her fathers death, which
occurred at 3 O'Clock, p. m, of that
day, whereupon in company with his
four daughters, he went to Fayette
Tuesday night TO attend the funeral.
DR.. Watts was nearing his four score
years, was q native OF Virginia, but
had lived in Missouri for many
years. He married Miss Martha
Lewis, sister of Rev. w. II. Lewis, of
the Missouri conference, and j. T.
Lewis, Esq, OF Glasgow. Deceased
leaves q widow, two daughters and
four sons to mourn the loss of one OF
the best husbands and fathers we ev-
er knew. HIS house had been a
house of prayer for many years,
hence he was prepared to pass
over the dark river. Peace to his
ashes.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
Central once, Columbia, no.

The mean temperature for the
week ending Saturday. September
22nd, was from one to three degrees
above the normal except in the
southwest section where there was a
slight deficiency. During the fore
part of the week the weather was
cool in most sections and light frosts
occurred in the northern portion OF
the state slightly damaging tender
vegetation in some localities, but to-
ward the close the weather became
warmer, the mean temperature OF
the 22nd ranging from 3 to 13 de-
grees above the normal. The per-
centage of sunshine was about nor.
mai. The rainfall was generally suf-
ficient for present needs except in
portions OF Andrew, .Daviess, Clay.
Gentry, Moniteau. Stoddard, New
Madrid and Carter counties where
rain is still needed. The average
rainfall for the several sections was
as follows: Northwest section, Al
inch; northeast section. LOS inch;
central section, AT inch; southeast
section, ,3S inch, and southwest sec
tion, 81 inch.
In many counties corn cutting is
about finished and few correspond
ents report the crop better than was
In the southern sections
there Is considerable late corn that,
with late frost, will make q good
crop. In a number of the central
and western counties corn in shock
has been considerably damaged by
rain and damp weather.
Flowing and seeding has progress
ed favorably except in a few locali-
ties in the southeast section where
the ground Is too dry, and in por-
tions Of Lafayette and Cass counties
where the work has been retarded by |
rains. In number of the western
wheat sowing is about COM
pleted! The weather has been favor
Ale for the germination OF the seed
and wheat and rye are coming up |
we'll in all sections.
Grasses have made good growth |
and prospects are favorable for
plenty OF fall pasturage.
In some localities there Is COM
plaint that potatoes are rotring |
badly owing to the ground being
.oo wet.
Cotton picking is progressing ia
in the extreme southeast
'rn counties.
Sorghum making is general and
ew correspondents report that the
quality has been injured through the
.ane having made second growth
ince the rains.

Your Home Paper.

There is not newspaper Office in
the country but what has had some
kind OF experience, more or less var
led. with the man who is taking so
many papers that he thought he
would come in and stop his home pa
per for q while. He reads a paper
published In st. Louis and another
one that comes from New York, each
OF which is stretching its columns to
help along fellow who cannot af-
ford to take his home paper. Yes
sir, these papers are loaded with
leaders showing up the superior
qualities OF the community in which
the fellow lives who is taking so
many papers that he is compelled to
drop the advocate of his home and
Industries. This same fellow who
cannot take his home paper, is the
one when he gets taken In on some
snide scheme that the home paper
has exposed a dozen times rushes in
and askes that his name be with
held as having taken the first prize
as the champion sucker OF the state.
The same fellow, when he gets into
some disreputable scrape, does not
want a word said about it, but il he
wants tree puff he has no hesitancy
in asking the home paper to give it,
and he will stop whatever work he
may be doing to read it. he is the
same fellow, who when he dies, ex-
poets the home papers to tell q lot
of lies about his public spirit and
and what a valuable citi-
zen the community has lost. Yes.
the home paper is good enough for
some things, but the fellow who is
too busy to read it should ask no
Isvors Of it.

Painful Accident.

James HALEY. the youngest son OF
Mrs. Sallie Haley, happened to a
serious accident at the Keytesville
depot last Tuesday morning.
A freight train was standing
on the south side of the depot.
James started to 60 on the
other side OF the track, and in
order to do SO he stepped upon the
link between the bumpers OF the two
cars. just at the moment he did so
the cars were moved, catching his
right foot between the bumpers
which came within an inch OF each
other, thereby mashing his foot in a
horrible manner. His shoe saved
his foot. no doubt. to some extent.
But for the shoe the foot
would have been mashed into q ielly.
AZ it Vas, only the bone OF the large
toe was broken. Billie Grinstead
witnessed the accident and hastened
to the depot to give the alarm. but
before he returned the vise-like grip
which held the prisoner. was released
by the moving of the train, which
"Jimmie" thinks was at least one
minute.
The unfortunate young man came
up on the street car to Sneed's hotel
where DR.. Dewey dressed the foot,
and relieved the sufferer to d con-
siderable extent. He is doing as
well as could be expected, but he will
not be able to go around for several
weeks.

The Gorin Train Robbery.

Lincoln Overfield and Charles
Abrams, the two captured partici.
pants in an attempt to rob a train
on the Santa Fe road, of which We
made mention last week, are giving
very damaging testimony against
the alleged detective McDaniels, who
they say persuaded them to enter
into the plot. He arranged the plan
and everything connected with the
robbery, and by promise of great
wealth induced them to undertake
the job.
There seems to bereason to believe
they tell the truth. They have not
been in each others company since
the robbery and have had no chance
to concoct q tale of that kind. As
they tell the same story under these
circumstances, it ia more than likely
they tell the truth.
The men in question are hard
working farmers, and have borne
a good character among their neigh.
bors, and it is hardly reasonable to
suppose they would originate q
scheme of that kind.
We hope there will be q close in.
vestigatioD of the case. and that no
guilty man will escape.
The wounded engineer has inti-
mated that there was some crooked
ness among some OF the parties who
had guns to protect the train. that
they might have prevented his being
shot, had they been so disposed.

Found Dead.

j. l. johnson, farmer residing in
Carroll county, 3 1-2 miles west OF
Brunswick, was found dead in the
rear end of b. NJ. Shrubs saloon, IN
that city, last Friday afternoon.
johnson was a Populist and had
been "looking upon the VINE when
it was red"and talking politics quite
numercusly during the day. But
growing weary OF talking and
drowsy from the effects OF drink, he
went to the rear OF the saloon and
sat down, where he was discovered q
short time afterwards by Bert Ran
dolph, dead. His sudden demise Is
supposed to have been due to an af-
lection OF the heart. Mr.Johnson was
q poor man, aged "a or 65 yearp,
and leaves quite large family be-
hind him.
lt is not strange that Populistic
rot, generously mixed with rank red
eye should produce q fatal affection
OF the heart.

The lighting OF KeytesviIle by
electricity is not only possibility
but a probability.
Our neighboring city OF Salisbury,
with commendable enterprise, has
voted favorably on a proposition to
put in a waterworks plant, having
had an electric light plant in opera
ton for nearly three years.
The waterworks plant will require
the putting in of another 100-horse
power boiler and a new 200-horse
power engine, and that increased
capacity will furnish sufficient power
to run two electric light wires from
Salisbury to .Keytesvilie from which
can be taken both incandescent and
arc lights.
IL our merchants will take hold Of
the matter as they should. there is
no reason why the project should
not be success. Electric lighte are
far superior to the kerosene lamps
beside being much cleaner, and are
about as cheap.
The scheme will be brought before
the city council, at Salisbury. next
Monday night. In the mean time let
our merchants and city fathers con-
slider the matter, and decide whether
or not they will embrace this oppor-
tunity OF a life time.
Mr.. Howard, the affable superin-
tendent of the Salisbury electric
light plant, win visit Keytesville in
a day or two and fully explain the
workings and cost of the proposed
project.
Let ss go forward and keep up
with the procession.

Uncle Jack Doughty and his hand

capital Wednesday on business and
shopping. Uncle Jack is always on
the look out Tor bis interest and to
this. end ssked us rather a hard
question, "What benefit has the
agricultural station Of Missouri ever
been to mei" He had never received
any information as to what was
done there. or what is proposed to
be done. We were sorry We could
not point out divers good deeds
the station had done and make the
fact 90 patent that he would readily
acknowledge it. There are other
farmers who keep "mighty think
ing" whether they make the audible
inquiry or not. The law requires
that at least four bulletins shall be
published yearly to give the farmers
Information concerning what Is
done In the way OF experimenting.
like this number OF bulletins
has been published during the past
ave years; perhaps it would be a
good idea to have the next legisla-
ture inquire ss to the reason why.
The institution is supported alto
gether by the U. s. Government, and
we suppose as long as tais is the
case, those having the matter in
hand win continue to receive the
money and spend it regardless of the
amount Of good there is being done
with it.

One OF the most destructive cy-
clonesthatever visited THE continent
occurred in portions OF Iowa and
Minnesota last Eriday night.
The serribl brm began its de-
structive WORK about ten miles south
OF Spen4 in northwestern Iowa.
Taking everything in its course, it
swept across the state just north ~
Emlnetsburg and Algona, wipine
out the little town Of Cylinder, but
doing most damage in the country
districts. Afser passing by Mason
City and running the country north
vest Of Osage, it bore Oh to the
northeast, crossing the Minnesota
line and running the little town of
Leroy. whore q bad fire added to the
destructiou. Spring WAS in the path
OF the cyclone and suffered severely.
Turning again to the east the little
towns of Homer and Lawthe were
badly damaged.
After crossing the Missiseippi
river, considerable damage was done
to farm buildings near Marshland,
Wisconsin. The storm passed over
Q narrow strip Of country, but was
about 200 miles long. The number
OF dead are known to be as many 90
% while other reports place them as
high as 100 besides q large number
wounded. The damage to build
lngs and stock was immense.

Populisrs Msst.

The Populist delegated convention
to nominate, or rather renominate,
a county ticket, met at Salisbury
last Tuesday. Their former coun.
ty mass meeting held at the same
place, was not altogether to their
liking, hence the convention last
Tuesday.
The air was laden with rumors for
more than q week past that efforts
were being made to effect fusion be-
tween the Populists and Republicans
in Charlton county. To Judge o. F.
Smith, it seems, was entrusted the
delicate job of forming q treaty Of
fensive and defensive, between the
big fish and little ones. We use sbig'
and ''little fsh" in no offensive sense,
having reference to the sixe of the
vote Of the two parties.
A secret session Was held before
which Judge Smith was called. ael
presented his case in his usual happy
style and made this liberal PROPOSE
tion. In substance at least: "YouI
take first choice Of the nominees and
We win take second, clear through
the list Of county officers" Having
heard the Judge through, hewas then
invited to retire, after which vote
was taken and the proposition re-
jected by q vote of 16 for to IT
against fusion. There being no fus-
ion the convention proceeded to
nominate county ticket as follows:
Representative w. j. Oliver, sheriff
f. M. Elliott, circuit clerk Geo. w.
Harlan, county clerk VIM. p. Davis,
treasurer G. +. Hedgpeth, presiding
justice Oscar Wood, Judge east. dis
rrict T. l.. Kunz, west. district ]. F.

Smith for prosecuting attorney,
which he respectfully declined, but
"he could not help himself and they |
nominated him any how. Juoge |

nee for probate Judge, was not pres |
ept, neither was there any one there |
who was authorized to speak for him.
The convention, however, made him |
their nominee for probate Judge. As

not help himself either, but this

The Facts in the Case.

The Moberly Democrat errs slight-
ly in saying that a young fellow
named Minter. only 10 years Of age,
called at Rev. j III Pritchett's house,
in Moberly, Sunday, in q starving
state. having indulged in a Tanner
fast for three weeks. and that DR..
Pritchett took the boy back to his
father, Judge Minter, at Fayette.
All the rest Is no doubt true. but
Judge Minter is probate Judge OF
Charlton county and lives IN Keytes-
ville.-Fayetfe Democrat-Banner.
Not exactly "true." Brothers
Davis and Hughes. The boy men
toned is in his 18th year and small
OF his age, and saving his uncon-
trollable desire for travelling is other
wise a good boy. At the time he
went to Rev. ]. 81. Pritchett's. in
Moberly. he had been from home
only three dsys-hence the Tanner
fast for three weeks," is a mistake.
Judge Minter is one of our nearest
neighbors, and we know whereof we
speak, when we say that he and his
wife are afiectionate, painstaking
parents. mild yet firm in their family
government. No boy has a better
home than has Jessie Minter, the
youth under consideration.
From early childhood the desire
for travel has been very manifest in
him. Several times he has gone
away from home and remained away
several DAYS but always came back,
or was brought back, as in the last
in a very penitent state
and readily made promises to never
do 90 again, at the same time saying
be did not know what made him
treat his parents in that way.
TIE fond parents have exercised
all their persuasive powers to induce
their only son to stay at home, but
avail. They are deeply af-l
tiicted over the wayward and seem
ngly thoughtless course of their boy.
This entire community deeply sym
oathizes with them.
