The burning over Of the swamp
lands in south Missouri and north
Arkansas is considered to be one
great setback to malaria. There
can be no question but that it will
be an improvement in the health
condition of this section.
Charleston Democrat: From an
estimate Of the years transactions
prepared by County Clerk Bridges
to be presented to the court it ap-
pears that the county's finances have
been we'll managed. The expendi-
lures so far for the year 1894 have
been s9,997.3 80 and all the heaviest
expenses have been met, while the
estimated receipts from all sources
for the revenue fund for the year
foot up $1S,l97 Thus it will be
seen that there will be'a very neat
sum left to apply to the county's
indebtedness.
The extraordinary fall and winter
has given the farmers of this county
an opportunity they have not been
slow TO take advantage of. Perhaps
more land has been opened to cul-
tivation, more and better bitches
dug and improvements generally
made than before in three or four
years time.
st, Louis Post-Dispatch, Dec, s:
J. D. Dickerson, a prosperous farm
ef living ten miles south of Dexter,
has disappeared, leaving an anx-
ious brother and family. Mr.. Dick
erson was last seen by those who
know him last Monday IN Dexter.
He left home Monday morning to
go to Bloomfield to pay off mort
gage on his farm, having in his pos
session considerable of his own
money and $3.50 which he had bor-
rowed of his brother, Henry Dick
erson. In place of going to Bloom
field he came to Dexter, deposited
something over $50 in the Bank of
Dexter to pay the interest on his
mortgage and also on that Of his
brother, then wrote two letters to
his brother, telling hfm what he
had done and that he would find
the mare he had ridden to town in
the stable at Mr.. Green's. In these
letters he gave his brother instruc-
tions as to what disposition to make
of his property and told him to
take certain of 1t for the money he
had borrowed Of him before leav.
ing. He advised him to rent out
the farm and let the rents pay of
the mortgage. From a hint thrown
out it is believed that domestic diff;
ticulties caused Mr.. Dickerson to
quit his home.

GENERAL NEWS.

In Congress the senate is, as it
was at the last session, the controll-
ing factor in legislation. and eau.
Gus Of the majority Of that body.
has practically determined that
there will be no tariff legislation
of any consequence. No organized
effort will be made to push the So
called popgun bills, and no cloture
resolutions will be adopted. On
the other hand, the senatorial eau
Gus has decided to present for con-
sideration and to press for action
bills dealing with the subjects of
bankruptcy, the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, the currency, the
admission of the territories of Ari-
zona and New Mexico, the election
of United States senator's by the
people, and such other measures,
including appropriation bills, as
may be deemed important by the
managers constituting the so'called
steering committee. Among these
measures it is understood the bank
ruptcy bill will have the right Of
way.
One of the most interesting and
important propositions laid before
congress at the present session is
that brought forward by Repre-
sentative Mccall of Massachusetts,
who proposes the creation Of a com
mission to promote uniformity in
legislation. The commission pro-
posed, says Bradstreet's, is to con-
sist of three persons appointed by
the president, is to continue five
years, and is to prepare codes of
the substantive law upon subjects
of commercial and mercantile law,
and especially the law. upon sales
and sellers liens, stoppage in tram
sit, the making and execution of
deeds, and the law Of domestic re-
lations, including marriage and di-
vorce, and upon such other topics
as may seem desirable in the direc-
ton of uniformity. This measure
is deserving of the attention of con-
gress. Although the time may not
yet be ripe for the adoption of uni
form legislation on all the subjects
proposed, yet something has al
ready been done in the direction Of
stimulating interest in the move
ment, and much work of an edu-
cative character can be accomplished
in the course of the next decade.
1t is scarcely necessary TO remark
upon the practical value of the
work outlined, which should receive
every stimulus and encouragement.

wanted to smoke the best cigars at the cheap

Immediately insured the whole stock. When
he had smoked the last OF them he demn nded

the grounds that the whole of his insured
stock, ten boxes OF cigars, had been con-
sumed by fire. The Soiomonic court decided
In favor of the plaintiff.

of having Intentionally put fire to his own
