Beyond the River.

A welcome rain fell Monday
night.
This has been the dryest sum-
mer ever known in this section.
But crops have stood it remarka-
bly, well. Corn and pastures have
been INJURED most.
The Charlton river is lower than
it was ever known.
The occupation of the farmers
for the past week has been digging
wells. Edward and Daniel Darr
struck water in such abundance
that it, was impossible to put in
the wall of the well before it be-
gan to cave in.
The mill-stOnes that were in the
old water mill at Sloan and were
lost in the river during the great
flood of 1875 which floated the
old mill away, have recently been
found and placed in a mill near
Pure Air, by VIM. Swisher.
The West Centre school house
was completed and received Tues
day. 1t is neat structure 24x30
it. in size and is ornamented with
a neat belfry and flag staff on the
top. Nothing reflects more credit
on neighborhood than a good
school house.
For upon the education of the
youth of our land depends the
future welfare of our great Re
public.
The old school house which has
sheltered and afforded educational
facilities to our youths for we'll
nigh a quarter of century, will
soon be removed from the school
ground.

Murdered in Colorado.

Last Wednesday S. V. Parks, ot
Sperry received telegram stating
that his son, Moses Parks, had
been murdered the night before,
but gave no particulars. The
be-Democrat of August 10, con-
tanned the following telegram,
which gives the only information
that has been obtained in regal d
to the murder:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Aug. 8
Coroner NARROW, in an in
quest over the remains tf
Moses f. Parks, who was shot at
Gillette, Monday night, while re-
sisting two highwaymen, found
Albert Harding, alias Diamond
Kidd, guilty of the murder. Minnie
Norton and Eva Dean, who were
with Parks and Huddleson, were
held as accessories before the fact.
Harding was badly wounded in Il e
fight. For time it looked as if
lynch law might prevail, but the
prisoners were safely jailed in
Colorado Springs. Parks was su-
perintendent of the Maggie Rieves

The proudest thing the Re

publican party of Missouri has
done for long time is the squclch-
ing of that political shyster, known
as Dick kerrens, at the State con
vention Wednesday. He has been
a disgrace to Missouri Republican
ism for years, and it is relief to
know that the party is done with
him.

DANIEL FUTILE.
-Gorman is just now bigger
man than the President, and the
sugar trust is bigger than either
of them.
There is an abundance of
speakers in the Democratic and
Populist parties, but wonderful
dearth of thinkers
Five Hatch men have been
found in Kirksville, but the coun-
ty up to date has not revealed a
SINCE Hatch follower.
Experts have discovered
more han hundred errors in the
new tariff bill. The people know
that the entire bill is a mistake.
As soon as the House sur
rendered it passed pop gun" bills
to put coal, iron and sngar on the
free list, but the Senate would not
have it that way. There will be
no more tariff legislation during
the present term of Congress.
There is no country on earth
that viii stand a protracted drouth
like Northeast Missouri. In the
neighborhood of Millard where no
rain had fallen since corn was
planted, until last Monday even
ing, the corn will make one third
of crop.
There is considerable specu-
lation as to whether President
Cleveland will sign the new tariff
bill, veto it or let it become a law
at the expiration of ten days with
out his signature. The chances
are that he, too, will surrender to
the Senate and signl the bill.
The Hon. c. /. Filley was
elected chairman of the State Com
mittee without opposition. The
Republican party is to be congratu-
lated on again having at its head
the ablest organizer in the West,
and one who never faulters in the
fight or makes terms with the
enemy unless they are terms of
unconditional surrender. The Re
publlcans are again ready to
"Stand up for Missouri"
THE Republican State Con
vention convened in Excelsior
Springs Wednesday. w. NJ. Rob
inson, of Webb city, was nominat-
ed for Supreme Judge; J. r. Kirk,
of Westport, for Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and Joseph
Flory for Railroad Commissioner
The ticket is conceded to be a
strong one, and will receive the
support of a large number of Demo
Gratis
Mr.. Hatch has telegraphed
TO the Hannibal Journal that he is
satisfied with the tariff bill as die
tlted by the Senate, and that he
will be candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Hatch may be satisfied with
the Senate tariff bill, but the Demo
Gratis of the First district are not.
Mr.. Hatch will have to explain to
his people why he was so willing
to make an ignominious surrender
10 the German combination.
The house has surrendered
to the Senate and has accepted the
Senate tariff bill as it came from
that body with its Income tax
and all the other iniquities of the
measure. However, the
final agreement is a relief to the
as business can be adjust
ed to suit the changed conditions. |

salary is not as large as

aw, they can charge the loss mp to

REMOVAL

The Union Barber Shop, after
September 1, will be in the Mason

John T Hannah's old stand. The
building is being specially refitted

able to serve his customers in bet
ter style than ever before in the
nearly thirty years of his business
in Kirksville. Remember the date

The Richard Wagner Conserva'
tory of rlusic and Languages.

Begins its SECOND YEAR ON
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4th. The
prospects are very encouraging
Pupils are coming in larger num-
bers from the distance, among
them, music teachers who desire
to take a higher course. Quite a
number of its pupils of last year,
though having but taken but one
or two terms, found classes at
home of from five to twelve pupils,
whom they taught during the sum
mer. The fact is being more and
more recognized, that it pays, to
study at the Conservatory. There
is but one method there, and that
is the one recognized as the best,
the German method of Leipzig.
There is fixed course in which
you progress higher and higher,
until the end comes graduation
In the Conservatory the pupil does
not only learn to play, but also,
and chiefly, to understand the
principles of music, its why's and
wherefores. His or her musical
horizon as well as the intellectual
one is continually widened. Be-
ginners lay a foundation there,
which is solid, and on which any
good super structure will rest
safely. Pupils having acquired
bad habits, as for instance bad
time keeping and lingering, will
surely learn to free themselves
from these faults.
The faculty will consist this
ear of five teachers. Profess )r
:. NJ. Goldberg, the Director,
'iano, Organ, Harmony, Theory,
History of Music, German. French
md Latin, Lecturer on Music.
Miss Florence Stafford, a superior
singer and pianist, one of Prof.
Goldberg's excellent graduates at
Stephens College, Voice-culture
director of Children's and of
Adults Choral Glass, Piano and
Organ.
Miss Carrie Springer, former
ly principal of the Humphreys
College Musical Department, Hum
phreys, Nc, teacher of great ex-
perience and fine tact.
Prof Band and Orches-
tral Instruments, leader of the
Band and Orchestra.
Mrs. L. NJ. Goldberg. Latin, and
Greek, Secretary of the Faculty,
for three years principal of the
Ottumwa High school, Iowa.
A new feature in the Conserva
tory is the Enrolment Card. A
pupil and also her patent or guar
dian sign this before she can enter.
Of course it also presupposes pre-
vious financial settlement.
The musical Recital will take
place regularly every month, five
private and five public ones. No
less than seven Concerts will be
given by the Conservatory.
Young Ladies and Gentlemen.
Come enroll at the Conservatory!
Secure a musical standing! Let
the prestige of a higher musical
education open the doors of the
best society and the way to useful
ness to you.
The new circulars will be out
shortly. Send or call for them.

Among those who viewed the
wreck on the Santa Fe, last Sun
day, were Editors Cole and Baity
of the LaPlata Home Press, Ex p.
NJ. Hammil and deputy sheriff
Woods of LaPlata.
There was a frightful wreck on
the Santa Fe, at $3.50 Sunday
morning near Gibbs. Two of
those magnificent vestibuled trains
which are run on this road came
together with a crash which could
be heard for mile. Both trains
were running at a high rate of
speed, probably from 80 to 60
miles per hour. The two engines
which are known as ''moguls' and
are the large kind, when they
came together seemed to stand on
end like two monster beasts and
then fell over to one side where
they lay, total wrecks. Parts of
the engine weighing ton were
found 80 or 40 rods away. No one
could have lived and remained on
one of them. One engineer named
Ed. Humphrey, and express mes
enger, Geo. Coplinger were instant
ly killed and one fireman died
while being taken to Ft. Madison.
There We're several passengers
more or less hurt. One Dutchman
after the trains had come to a
stand still ran and jumped through
a window and was badly cut with
glass. There is a cut five or six
feet deep where the wreck occurred
and the cut was filled with broken
baggage and mail cars, demolished
into kindling wood. Baggage and
goods were ground to atoms; a
collection of animal and birds
which was in the baggage car on
No. 4, was exterminated with the
exception of two small ant eaters,
which were wandering around the
wreck. People began to gather at
the scene of the wreck before day
light and by 10 o'clock there were
many hundred on the grounds P.
d. Grubb, j. p, was notified by
the Railroad company early in the
morning; soon there was a coron-
ers jury organized and On the
scene of the disaster, where tn
dead were carefully examined, an,

the effect that the blame should b.
placed upon the conductor and en-
gineer of train No. 1 going east
which had orders to side track at
Gibbs but did not do so On the
dead engineer was a little emblem
which attracted the careful atten-
ton of many of the men. Did the

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Boston Courant, under the caption
of "Who is Astwood," devotes a
considerable portion of its valuable
space to a refutation Of some charg-
es that unsavory character makes
against Miss Ida b. Wells, and her
work. We think the Courant max es
a mistake in taking Astwood serl-
ously, for we of New Orleans, where
Astwood once had quasi residence,
know him to be a fraud of the mon
umental kind, and a man not toe
good to do any piece ofdirty work.

Our convention met and named
Hon. David d. Shelby, the giant
among the legal lights Of the State,
as the Republicans choice for con-
gresham. The nomination was a
fit one. Whether the distinguished
nominee will sacrifice his large and
lucrative practice for the unprofita-
BILE and onerous duties developing
upon a Congressional party nomi
nee is quite doubtful. Whether he
does or does not accept, the conven'
ton did the right thing in nominal
ing him. His disinterested devo.
tion to the principles of the party
marked him out as Justly meritine
the confidence and esteem OF the
Republicans thus shown.
