HARPER'S
Pictorial History
or THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at SI6 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are 164xII1 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but cculdn' t
afford SI6 and kept asking for the
old 'Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now 1t is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each If you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers Of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

THE rlEEKS FAMILY
MURDERED.
The Taylor Brothers, OF Brown
ing, Commit the awful
Deed.

Thursday night of last week Gus.
Meeks, his wife and two children
were murdered near Browning.
Linn county, Mo. The only survi-
Vor of the family is little girl
six years old. and the williams who
committed the awful deed suppos-
ed that she, too was dead. Meeks
was a witness against George and
William Taylor in Il cattle steal
ing case and had been recently
pardoned from the penitentiary by
Governor Stone that he might APP
pear in court as witness against
them.
1t is supposed that a meeting
had been arranged between the
Taylor brothers and Meeks. and
the word had been given out that
MeekS was TO skip the country for
a thousand dollars. Mrs. Meeks
fearing that evil would befall her
husband, went with him to the
place of meeting taking her three
children. The little girl states that
they met two men in the road who
rode up and shot her father, and
that he fell out of the wagon.
They then killed her mother and
little brother and sister, and struck
her on the head with rock and
she went to sleep and knew no
more for a long time.
After the murder the bodies
were conveyed to Il straw stack
on the farm of Geo. Taylor and
covered with straw, nearly two
miles from the scene of the crime.
Nextmorning the little girl crawled
out from the straw and went to a
house near by and told what had
been done.
The alarm was given and the
Sheriff of Linn county notified.
Soon bodies of men were securing
the country in search of the mur-
derers. But the TAYLOR Brothers
quickly found out that their crime
was known, and hastened to a
place of concealmennt. Since Fri
day officers with several hundred
men have been engaged in the
search for the murderers.
On Monday Sheriff Rupe with a
company left for the southwest
part of the county to assist in the
search, as it was reported that
they were in Walnut township,
but up TO the hour of going to
press the hiding place of the Tay-
lor boys is as much of a mystery
as at any time since the murder.
Gov. Stone has offered 5000 fol-
their capture and the sheriff OF
Linn county 5000.
George and William Taylor are
the same parties who two years
ago raised a draft that had been
issued at the Browning bank fol-
$500 to $1,000 and had the same
cashed at the First National bank
of this city. Their trial for this
offense is familiar to all tn,
Graphic readers.
Excitement over the murder is
very great, and it is probable that
if the murderers are caught there
will be no tedious trial to deter
mine their guilt or innocenSe.

The Democratic convention
at Kansas City failed to adopt a
platform or to endorse Cleveland.
The contesting delegations
to the Democratic convention from
Adair county were each allowed
one vote. This put them in a
harmless condition toward each
other.
THE Stone faction of the
Missouri Democracy paralyzed the
Francis faction at the Kansas City
convention. Mr.. Cleveland Will
prabably note the fact with con
siderable interest.
Boss Croker has given up
the control of Tammany. But with
$4,000. 900 made in Tammany
politics in less than eight years,
he can afford TO smile and he the
same old villain still.
Hope for the country is be-
ginning to dawn. \ Democratic
Congress has adopted the Reed
rules. and is now proceeding with
tariff reformation on the lines laid
down by the Mckinley bill.
General Kelley and his
army of Commonwealers are now
floating down the Mississippi river
on barges. Kelley deserves credit
for an original act, as it is the first
time in the history of the country
that the floating population has
taken to the water.
The Democratic convention
nominated Darlington for State
Superintendent of public inStruc-
ton on first ballot. The Adair
county delegations however had no
part in the matter, as the commit
tee on credentials fixed them so
they could do nothing but make
faces at each other.
THE labor commissioner of
Iowa disguised himself in rags
and soiled linen and joined the
Kelley army. After a thorough
investigation he was convinced
that, while the men. as a rule, are
well meaning fellows, the leaders
are unscrupulous schemers, almost
void of conscience. That's about
the size of it.
in Il recent issue the
GRAPHIC stated that a little more
than two years ago the state
tax was reduced to make cam
paign thunder for the Demo
cratic party, and then asked what
the farmers thought of having
their real and personal property
raised 10 per cent to 30 pei
cent for the purposes of taxa
ton. The astute editor of the
Democrat called the assertion il
question, and, after propoundins
two or three questions to the
GRAPHIC, gravely asserted that The
raise on real and personal property
in Adair county was made to con
form to the assessments made IL
other counties. When The
GRAPHIC made the statement that
so excited the editor of the Demo
crat it did not refer to Adair coun
ty, but to the whole state with the
exception of three counties. Next
time the Democrat gets after the
GRAPHIC its editor should post
himself sufficiently on state mat
ters to prevent an exhibition OF
ignorance that is ineXcuasble even
in the editor of a Democratic news
paper.
