An Innova ton in Poker.

The great American game of poker
has been given new impetus by those
philanthropists of their kind, the men
who enjoy the game. The only fault
that could be found with this senatorial
pastime was that it did not admit
enough players who could lose money.
The rules of the game were all right,
because those were works of genius,
and are as elastic as the atmosphere,
but the hitch came right in the pack,
because Pharaoh l., of course, didn t
know anything about poker and he is
believed to have been the first man
who ever correctly called turn.
Some benefcent spirit has improved
the pack of ffty-two cards, which
made it rather difficult sometimes for
six men to play. He has dilated it in
to pack of sixty cards, so that eight
good poker players may indulge their
bent to the destruction of their fortunes
or the repletion of their stock of good
temper.
The cards that are added are the
eleven and twelve spots of each suit.
The ten spot in order to alter it into
an eleven has an additional spot in
the center, and to become a twelve
spot there is given the card three
PARALLEL rows of four spots. 1t is a
novelty of the newest kind, and now
there will be no longer any unsociable-
ness about the game.
Just think that under this improved
condition of things eight of-you have
had your cards dealt you and there
will be still twenty in the pack to
choose from.-N. Y. Herald.

Gov. Brown May Retire from the
Race,

LEXINGTON, KY, May 2.-The tragic
death of Archie D. Brown, the Oldest
son of Gov. John Young Brown, at
Louisville Tuesday, will no doubt
cause the Governor to retire from the
race for United States Senator. Gov.
Brown has had more than his share
of domestic troubles during the past
year. 1t has not been long since he
lost a beautiful and accomplished
daughter, and less than week ago his
sons wife secured a divorce. Every
effort was made to keep the divorce
proceedings secret, in order to spare
the Governor the humiliation of a
public scandal, but the facts leaked
out. Now comes this last and crush
ing blow, the death OF his Oldest child.
to whom he was fondly attached, And
the manner and place in which he met
his death renders the blow all the more
severe. The close friends of Gov.
Brown believe. therefore, that, bend
ing under the weight of the terrible
affiiction that has come upon him, he
will quietly retire from contest which
promises to be one of the bitterest
races for United States Senator ever
conducted in Kentucky.

We Are Proud of Our Water Works.

we are fEOuu Oh OuE "dteE "OEhS.
Cape Girardeau can boast of the
best water works system in thecountry.
There is not another city in the
country that is supplied with as pure,
clear water as we have here in Cape
Girardeau. 1t is Mississippi River
water pnrest of water and it
comes from the water mains as clear
as crystal. 1t is filtered by means of
a new invention-the only one of the
kind in the Mississippi River. There
is no deviation in the quality of the
water. 1t is clean and clear every day
in all parts of the city and the pressure
from the mains remains the same all
the time.
Our water works has the capacity to
supply water for a city with popu-
lation of one hundred and fifty thous-
and people, and while we do not ex-
pect to reach that population soon we
do believe that if we will all pull to-
gether we can double our present
population in the next five or six
years. We have the advantages here
to make Cape Girardeau great city.
For the location of factories there is
no city in the Union that offers better
inducements than We can offer here.
We have the raw material in this
section of country for the manufacture
of most anything. Land is cheap in
the country fs and property in the
city is cheap. There are splendid
sites in the city for big factories that
can be had almost for the asking and
since We have water works ground can
be had suitable for factories off of the
river and at such figures as would not
hurt the purchaser.
We are proud of our water works
and we are the everlasting friends of
the enterprising men who put their
money in the enterprise that gives US
the convenience they afford us.

In Union There is strength.

An exchange says: The citizens of
prosperous communities invariably
work in harmony with each other for
the welfare of the neighborhood in
which they reside and do business.
They do not discourage those who visit
their town by whining about hard
times, but use their united influence to
encourage the establishment of manu-
factories in their midst which will give
employment to the idle laboring men
and mechanics. Our town certainly
has entirely too many hard-times
croakers, and the sooner they realize
that fact the better it will be for the en-
tire community. Cape Girardeau Of
fers opportunities equal, if not su-
perior to any other city in the State,
and our citizens should lay aside all
personal differences, political or re-
ligious, and unite for the purpose of
encouraging desirable settlers in our
midst. This is the only hope of in
creasing our population. So long as
eight or ten residents of any COM
munity sit around street corners and
tell every newcomer that their town is
dead" with no prospects of i'm
provements, will times remain un-
changed. Do not discourage others
even if you feel that way yourself. All
communities have their seasons of
financial depression. Those who have
the welfare of their community in view
will, therefore understand the present
situation and act accordingly.
No sensible person will slander or be-
little the community in which he re-
sides. So long as a community re-
mains divided-pulling against each
other like oxen crossing a bridget
cannot and does not deserve success.

STATE CONVENTION.
The Democrats in Cau-
Gus Adopt Some
Strong ResoIu-
tons.
Only Two Votes Against a Pro-
posed Call for a state Con-
Vention Recorded at the
Meeting.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, May 3.-The
caucus of Democratic Senators, Rep
resentatives, State officers and en-
ployes, held in the Senate Chamber
last night to take action on the matter
of requesting the State Central Com
mittee to call a State Convention for
the purpose of taking action on the
silver question, was largely attended.
There were sixty-six Democrats pres
ent, and the sentiment was practically
unanimous in favor of a State Con-
vention, only two of the sixty-two
voting against it. The caucus was
called to order by Representative Ju-
liam. of Kansas City, and Representa-
tive Schooler of Charlton was made
Secretary. Mr.. Sullinger of Gentry
introduced the following resolution:
Whereas, The vital question before
the people of this country to-day is
the money question, and, in our opin-
ion, the next Presidential campaign
will be contested, largely upon this
issue, and,
Whereas, The Democratic party,
from its organization, has always
been party of bimetalism, declaring
that the redemption money of the
country and the basis of all currency
and paper credits should be both gold
and silver, and that such metals should
be coined at the ratio of l6 to l, and,
Whereas, Since it's declaration of
such position at the Democratic State
Convention in May, 1894, the agitation
upon this subject throughout the land
has become constant and widespread,
now
Therefore, be it Resolved, That in
order that the Democracy of Missouri
may define its views upon the money
question before the people of the State
and Nation, the Democratic State
Committee is hereby requested to call
a State Convention to meet at some
central and accessible place at as early
date as practicable, not later than
August !, 1895, for the purpose of such
definition and declaration.
Speeches in favor of the resolution
wepe made by Governor Stone, Sena-
tor Yeater, Mr.. Sullinger, Hall of
Saline, S. B. Cook, Secretary of the
State Democratic Committee; Senators
Dunn, Cash and Basket and a. J.

pIowed Up a Buried Treasure.

OLD MONROE, Mo-, May News
has just reached here of a valuable
treasure find in this (Lincoln) county
last Saturday. A. Jackson, while
plowing on an island in Cuivre, one
mile north of Moscow Mills, turned up
an old log containing heavy tin box,
in which he found money and valu-
ablesaggregating nearly $4,000. Nearly
$3.50 was in money, principally in
gold and silver. The box contained
only small amount in currency, part
of which was in 10c and SOC Confederate
bills. The paper money was in a
poor state of preservation. Besides
the money there was diamond ring
worth probably S75 and a gold watch.
Mr.. Jackson had the land leased from
his father, Thos. Jackson. A Mr..
Shuts had been a partner in the lease,
but had sold his interest to young
Jackson the day before. The Con-
federate money seems to indicate that
the treasure was buried during the
war

WEAR MURDER CASE.
Alleged Attempt to Protect the De-
fendant and Defeat the Ends of
Justice.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May6-Judge
CAN'T, of the Supreme Court, to-day
issued writ of prohibition to restrain
Judge Wear, of the Butler County
Circuit Court, and Specie Judge G. A.
Standard from interfering with the
case of the State against Charles E.
Wear. This is a most remarkable
case. Charles E. Wear is the son of
Judge Wear. In 1891 he shot and kill
ed Charles Lail, at Poplar Bluff, and
was indicted for murder in the first de-
gree. The usualdelays afforded by the
criminal lawwere resorted to. At last,
after many continuances, the case was
dismissed in the Dunklin County Cir
cult Court by Special Judge Maiden,
few months ago.
Last February the Butler County
Grand Jury reindicted Wear, and then
followed a procedure on the part of
the young mans father, as Judge of
the Circuit Court, that is unprecen-
dented in the history of Missouri
criminal Jurisprudence. The term of
court was not adjourned until last
Saturday, and no capias was issued
for young Wears arrest, although in
dicted for murder in the first degree.
Under the statutes the Circuit Clerk can
not issue a capias on his own motion
dHring court time. On the 8th of April
Wear issued an order of record call
ing in Judge H. C. Riley, of the
Tenth Circuit, to try the case. Last
Saturday Judge Riley was present and
ready to take up the case, but Judge
Wear would not vacate the bench.
Assistant Attorney General Morton
Jourdon was also present on direction
of Gov. Stone to aid in the prosecu-
ton. Judge Wear put in most of the
time until 1 o'clock reading news
papers, at which time Judge Riley
notified him of his presence and readi-
ness to take up the case. Judge Wear
replied that he would run his own
court to suit himself, and ordered the
Sheriff to adjourn Mr.. Jourdon
protested, and scored Judge Wear
severely for his unprecedented and
unwarranted action. The Sheriff, how
ever. adjourned court.
To-day Judge Wear appointed G. 4.
Standard Special Judge to try the
case, and the Attorney General de-
cided to invoke higher authority in
order that justice may not be defeated.
The writ was made returnable to the
court in banc May p. Gov. Stone
has been made aware of the facts in
the case, and it is believed hewill con-
vey the same to the Legislature with
authority to institute Impeachment
proceedings against Judge Wear.
Public sentiment where the facts sur
rounding the murder are known is in
favor of Furnishing young Wear to the
full extent of the law, as the killing is
regarded as a coldbloOded murder.
Since the murder young Wear attempt
ed to kill another man and badly
wounded him. That justice has been
trifled with and even openly defied
seems to be apparent.

Who VIII Adopt the suggestions

There is just one masculine privi-
lege that I envy the men possession
of, and that is the free lunch. don't
see why some enterprising soda water
seller doesn't start up free lunch for
women. 1 don't pretend to under
stand these things, but if it pays a
saloon keeper to give away soup and
olives and cold slaw and bread and
cold meat and goodness knows what
else with a 5-cent glass of beer, surely
it ought to pay druggist to serve
sandwiches Or salad with every glass
of soda water. And think how it
would delight the bargain-loving soul
of womanl 1 quite wonder nobody
has tried it before this.-Washington

inside of the bus, they both displayed
remarkable activity by jumping out
at the rear and plOwing up the street
with their backs. Mr.. Medley climbed

AN OFFICER SHOOTS
And Kills a Prominent
Yonug Man.
Jas. v. Conran, Prosecuting Attorney
of New Madrid County Kills
c. I. Pinnell.

Last Saturday night about ten
o'clock a pistol shot was heard by the
people who were in town, many from
the country who were late in making
their usual purchases, and the crowd
were attracted to the place where the
report was heard, the livery stable OF
Mr.. L. F. Hunter. Marshal Richards
was one of the first at the scene and il
was found that the shooting was done
by Mr.. Jas. V. Conran, our prosecut-
ing attorney and the deadly missile
from his pistol had struck Mr.. G. T.
Pinnell, a well-to-do farmer, both
parties of prominent families. An
enmity had existed between the two
parties, and as Mr.. COnran sat on the
livery stable porch Mr.. Pinnell came
towards him walking down the side
walk. No words passed between them.
AS Mr.. Pinnell got near Mr.. Conran
arose and took the chair he was sitting
in and struck Mr.. Pinnell a blow on
the head and then threw the chair at
him, and afterwards fired the shot, the
ball striking andentering Mr.. PinnelI, Is
right side of the body and burying
itself somewhere in the abdominal
cavity. Both men had pistols. An
examination of the wound was made by
DR.. Dawson at his Office after which
Mr.. Pinnell was taken to the home of
his cousin Mrs. A. T. Stewart and was
cared for, and Mr.. Conran was placed
under arrest by Marshal Richards.
He gave bond in the sum of $1,000
for his appearance at the preliminary
trial which Justice Joel Cook set for
hearing on the eth inst.
Mr.. Pinnell lay in a critical con-
dition up to Thursday afternoon at
three o'clock when he died, conscious
to the last, and after having made a
dying statement in the forenoon of that
day he then made peace with his God
and with prayers which he desired, he
was satisfied to die. An uncle, Mr..
VIM. Harrington, and sister, Mrs.
Coleman, of Pemiscot county, were
present when he passed away and his
brother Mr.. w. W. Pinnell and
number of other relatives and friends
who witnessed his sad and sorrowful
dissolution.
a new warrant charging Mr.. Conran
and his brother William with assault
to kill and did kill las the warrant
read, was sworn out on the affidavit
of Mr.. W. W. Pinnell before Justice
Cook and they were arrested and held
without bail and under guard. The
case is to be heard next Tuesday.
An autopsy was held on fhe dead
at Richard Bros, Undertakers, that
evening, which resulted in the finding
of the bullet which had pierced the
liver and bowels and lodged behind
the spleen.
The remains were inferred at the
Price farm west of town about five
miles, the funeral taking place from
the Methodist church at p. m. yester-
day. attended by large concourse of
sorrowing relatives and friends.
The deplorable tragedy with its fatal
results cast a gloom over our city and
and it is most keenly re-
gretted by the friends and acquant-
ances of both parties throughout the
Madrid Record.

Mrs. Logan,s Mission.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May Mrs.
John A. Logan, who arrived in the
city last night, spent the day in the
two branches of the Legislature, by
whose members she was cordially re-
ceived. This is her first visit to the
Illinois State Capitol since the me-
morable senatorial fight of ten years
ago, which resulted in the election of
her distinguished husband to the
United States Senate. Her special
mission here now is to ask the Legis-
lature to pass a bill which has been
pending some time appropriating s10,-
900 each to Isaac r. Hit, to the widow
of Lawyer Wiltshire and to herself for
services rendered by Gen. Logan and
the two gentlemen named in securing
the enactment by Congress of a law
refunding to Illinois the amount of the
direct taxes paid by the State during
the war. The amount thus paid to
the State was something over 81 1,000,
600, and Mrs. Logan claims that $780,
900 is only reasonable compensation
for the services rendered.
