DIED-On the 16 inst. ALEX. s.
MOORE, of consumption, in Howard
Elk county, Kansas, aged 50 years
Mr.. Moore was resident of Reynold:
county in this state for long time
and will be remembered by many Of
| the citizens. He removed to Kansas
in 1879, where he resided until his
death. He was an exemplary citizen,
and all his friends hereabouts will re-
greet to hear of his demise. (Reynolds

w. 2. McCarver has changed his
notion, and at present will not remove
| to Poplar Bluff. He will continue to
sell all of his stock at cost during this
month. Then the building will be
| refitted and painted. Remember, ev-
cry thing at cost during this month.
He is compelled to move this stock so
he can paint inside of store. After be-
ing here with the people so long, it is
like home to him. Now is the time to
secure bargains at the Union Market.
Coroner Ricke has been doing his
best to learn something of the antece-
| dents of the person who was found
dead on the track at Pilot Knob station
several weeks ago. Mr.. r. wrote to
the various places where the deceased

ton SO far has resulted. The chief of
police at Detroit writes that. 10 such
person nor any person of the name of
Robertson Or Robinson lived in that
city. 10 the other letters no response
has been received. Will the deceased 8
identity never be known We fear
not; but we still persist in our inquiry:
What became of the dead mans mon

The case of state VS.. Martin Cox
was tried yesterday. Cox was charged
with having stolen lot of dynamite,
caps, etc.. from the Schneider Granite
Company. The articles were found in
his house, but he was an employe of
the Company, and claimed that they
were what had been left over from his
days work at various times, and that
it was his intent to return them and
use them in the prosecution of his US
ual lab Dor. The case was prosecuted
by Messrs. Jordan and Wingate, while
Mr.. Edgar defended. 1t was given to
the jury about four o'clock, which
half an hour later returned verdict Of

The orders have gone out from the
State Republican headquarters that the
legislature must be captured, and we
note in the various Democratic counties
that the enemy is very quiet and pleas
ing in regard to everybody except
him who is running for Representative.
But against him insidious assaults are
made, IN the hope that there may be
some fool Democrats misled, and, by
hook or crook, cajoled into voting for
the Republican candidate for the leg
islature. Boss Fllley is very slick. and
if you will give him and his negro lieu
tenants control of the legislature, they
don't care snap of the finger for the
other county officers. Democrats, are
you the sodden- pated fools they take
yCn and the
ing election will again teach them that
fishing for gulls must be profitably
done in other than Democratic waters.
The case of NJ. Seitz VS.. the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rail-
way was settled last week by agree
ment. The railroad company had
reinforced culvert adjoining Mr..
Seitz's property by putting in an inner
arch of brick two feet in thickness,
thereby reducing the the capacity of
the culvert for the passage of the wa
ter flowing through. In consequence.
when the heavy freshets of last year
and the year before came on. the wa
tiers. having no adequate outlet, were
damned against the railroad enbank-
ment. and the back-fow inundated
Mr.. Seitz's farm. causing considerable
damage. The company failing to rem
edy the cause of the damage, suit was
instituted, and this is the case settled,
as above stated, by agreement. Mr..
Seitz was given 1915 for damage done.
and assured that the culvert would be
properly enlarged. NJ. L. Clardy. for
the company, and VIM. r. Edgar for
Mr.. Seitz.
