court house at Lancaster was dis
charged by the building committee
because he got drunk. 1t is evil
dent that architects even are un-
able to build "a respectable 'jag"
with Lancaster whiskey.
Last week Glenwood had n gen
uine negro show for few days.
Word coming from Coatsvllle,
where the outfit had been some
days before, that it was good
show for doctor bills, the whole
gang was arrested, taken to Ian
caster and fined.
Rev. Culpepper, who not long
ago gave the sinners of Canton a
shaking up, will return to that
town about October 1st to use up
some more of the abundant raw
material. 1t is his intent to be in
tent as long as good may be done,
and the tent will hold $500 per-
sons.
Edna was recently worked by a
lame beggar, who, after a fair
business in his line all day, laid
his crutches on his shoulders in
the calm of breezy twilight and hit
the trail for Kirksville. He wore
no epaulet, es, but his countenance
Indicated he had been one of Cox
ey's trusted officers in the famous
charge on the grass.
Two men were arrested in Hun
newell the other day for selling
spectacles without license. They
were fined s. each, but having no
money, they were ordered to work
on the streets. In spite of their
spectacles, they could not see the
use of working, however and fatty
refused.
The exchange that mentioned
that a young man named Gum had
taken an untimely departure from
its town, much to the grief of his
creditors, neglected a great Op-
portunity to impress upon the
minds of its readers the fact that
some Things often go off when it is
thought they are not loaded.
Rev. Cunningham, of the M. E.
church, and Elder Trickett, of the
Christian, will hold union services
in the park at Glenwood next
Sunday. The program includes all
the essential features OF a basket
meeting, and, with those able di-
vines pulling o-gether, the people
of Glenwood and vicinity will no
doubt enjoy ''feast of reason and
a flow of soul,' with an abundance
of spring chicken between acts.
Weatherford's mill at Union
vile was lately entered by burg
lars, one of whom had previously
given the owner tip, hence he
and two other men were concealed
and saw the thieves depart with a
sack of flower each. They were
followed, located, and arrested
next day The one who gave the
thing away will be used as wit
ness against the others who are in
Ijail. This was no "fowery
break
A man in Scuyler county, who
is Democrat because his father
was, and whose early education
did not extend beyond the scientif-
ic method of twisting rabbits out
of hollow trees, is out against sill
yer with Cleveland and Carlisle,
though he doesn't base his objec-
tions exactly as they do. Lately
he heard two prominent men of
his party discussing free coinage
of silver, and to the twilight of his
understanding the phase came as
"three- -cornered silver" Jump
ing at conclusion and pausing
not to hear more on the subject, he
entered his objection to such a
form of money, "bekase it would
war the pockit outen a feller' S
britches the fust day."

Cleveland administration, and the
proud American eagle will have
become a cuckoo.
The new woman will no
doubt spin, but, unlike her worthy
praumother, s,.ewill use a bicycle
for that purpose.
Withholding payment OF
the sugar bounty is not calculated

1t is claimed that the joints
and drug stores of Kirksvllle no
longer sell beer. but pretzels re-
main at the same old price.
THAT Horr-Harvey "debate'

The wind seeks vacuum, yet 1t
has blown toward Chicago but lit
tle more than common of late.
The exchange that bewails
the drouth has not come to hand
for several weeks. Perhaps its
forms have been washed down the
river. This is not dry joke.
If Dryden's fool had lived in
the n. .esent and had been inclined
to talk rather than whistle. he
would have been great figure as
an assistant in the Chicago discus
sion.
A poetical exchange has

The Democratic editor who

Three of the banks in Car

-Palmyra claims to have one
of the best fairs in Missouri,

THE man in Georgia who
sent Mckinley watermelon

known the great Ohioan carries

commit suicide with his appetite.
The mountain will labor at
Pertle Springs next Tuesday, and
it only remains for the National
Democratic convention to show
how ridiculous the mouse may be.
The farce cannot be completed as
it was in Kentucky, but the design
can hardly prosper to hide con-
spicuouS failures and encourage
fruitless hopes.
THAT newspaper correspon-
dent who recently worked the in

Kansas City police, detectives and

What the public would really like

"A young lady in Marion

suit, in which she estimates the
value of her recreant lover, as a

instance.
