Man With a Red Nose Will Not be Fa

1t was on a Sixth avenue elevated
train going uptown, says the Detroit
Free Press. A man with a red nose
which terminated in a knob got on at
Franklin street and sat down beside a
little girl about 5 years of age, who
was accompanied by a brother of II.
She was a sh~arp-eyed, handsome
child, and after a few minutes the red
nosed man felt his heart warm up to
her and he said:
"Well, little girl, are you going
somewhere?"
She looked up, but made no answer,
and after a minute he smiled more
blandly and continued:
"You r an awfully nice little girl,
and I wish l had some candy for you.

From the st. Louis Republic.
An "ex-Democrat of Missouri" has
in the current Arena an article on
"Bland and a New Party, in which he
lectures Mr.. Bland for not leaving the
Democratic organization.
This writer wants a new party whose
first precept shall be free coinage at
15k to 1, a ratio he calls the natural
one. Next comes removal of any Off
cial or Judge at any time by popular
vote. Then he would have a demand
for a revised system of government
under which every class, calling and
trade will be represented in proper
ton to its numbers.
He does not tell whom he would
suggest as the leaders of his new party
and the managers of its organization
We suppose he is thinking of Stand
ard Oil Sibley, Silver Mine Stewart
and the other di~sinterested patriots
who have been roofing at Memphis
for a new party. He may also have
in mind a few specimens from the lat
Populist State administrations in Kan
sas and Colorado.
Mr.. Bland will hardly listen to {
SIRENS call which has about it so mucl

Silver, National Bank and Greenback
Men Fight in the State Prohibi-
ton Convention of Ohio.

SPRINGFIELD, o., June 12.-The
Prohibition State Convention con-
vened at 9 a. M, and the Committee
o Permanent Organization reported
Gen. Walter S. Payne, of Fostoria,
ex-law partner of ex-Secretary Chas
Foster, for permanent Chairman,
and w. G. Leet, of Toledo, for Secre-
tary.
Chairman Payne spoke for an hour,
denouncing the wealthy men of the
country. Referring to Foster, he said
if he ever learned anything from him
he learned it from his feet, and not
from his head.
The platform was presented by the
committee, and it was decided to vote
on each plank separately. First and
second planks, declaring for Prohi-
bition, and womap's suffrage, were
adopted.
The committee reported in favor al
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1.
John Richards of Hillsboro offered
as a substitute for the Government
national bank system, that the Gov
eminent start banks and loan the peo-
pie money on products, goods and
land.
A. B. Chase of Marion introduced a
regular greenback plank.
The convention adjourned at noon
without agreeing.
1t is stated that a deal has been
made by which E. j. Pinney, a Cleve-
land attorney, will be nominated for
Governor and R. s. Thompson of this
city for United States Senator.

q OF ORCHARDS.
Agricultural Department Will Issue a
Valuable Paper.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Common
abuse of orchard tracts is pointed out
in a statement to be issued by the ag-
ricultural department. This abuse is
the custom which prevails generally
of counting the orchard as a field of
the farm, and calling upon it for it's
crop of corn, oats, wheat, grass and
hay in rotation with the other fields.
According to the official warning
nothing could be devised as more
likely to permanently injure a grow
ing or %fruitening orchard than such q
policy. When the trees have reached
a fruitening age no other crop should
be grown in the orchard, though while
it is young and reproductive of fruit
it may be wise to grow other crops
than trees, though there must be
double ~fertilizing, one for the devel.
opment of the trees and the other fol-
the incidental crop. The cultivation
and fertilization should be as regular
and constant as if a crop we're an
nually removed. This plan, it is point
ed out, would revolutionize orchard
culture in many sections, and make
many seemingly useless orchards prof

THE KABRICH CASE.
Mrs. Eagleton Receivers Damages to
the Amount of S1450 Against
Messrs. Kabrich and Longley

The case of Mary f. Eagleton VS..
Geo. Kabrich and c. G. Longley has
aroused much interest. An outline of
the case is as follows:
In January, 1894, when Mr.. Kabrich
was in the dry goods business in this
city, Mrs. Eagleton, who had been in
the habit of running an account at the
store for years, doing considerable
trading there, owed a bill of $35 there
for dry goods. Mr.. Eagleton and wife
then lived on the Crawford farm in
this county. Times were hard and their
house burned down and their goods,
ETC., were attached.
There was some insurance on the
household goods, but it took all of
that to relieve the attachments and
Mrs. Eagleton left the debt at Ka-
brich's store still unpaid.
Mrs. Eagleton, becoming aware that
she was likely to be arrested, attempt
ed to fee. She was overtaken at Ben
ton City by Constable J.T.Bunton and
c. G. Longley, arrested and brought
back here and placed in jail.
The sheriff becoming aware that the
woman was in a delicate condition, re-
moved her to the Leake hotel, where
locked up in n of the rooms she gave
birth to a child.
Upon the birth of the child Mr.. Ka-
brich withdrew the charge of obtain
ing money under false p~retenses and
she was released. Afterward she and
her family removed to St.Louis, where
they now reside, and soon afterward
brought suit against Messrs. Kabrich
and Longley in the sum of So, 1000 dam
ages for malicious prosecution and
false Imprisonment.
The trial lasted over two days. The
jury went out Thursday at eight
O'Clock and a little before II O'Clock,
they returned with their verdict.
The jury was composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen:~A.S. Carroll, w.
Fl. Wakefield, G. T. Bondurant, Ed
ward Atchison, VIM. Pike, j. s. Mus
ter, VIM. Vivion, VIM. Rowland, F.
w. Wisdom, I. j. Vanlandingham, r.
s.. Mcclure and E. F. Smith.
A.S.Carroll was foreman of the jury.
The attorneys for the defendant
were W. W. Fry, l.. P. Crigler and
Mr.. Murphy; for the plaintiff George
Robertson and E. s. CAN'T. Following
is the report and verdict of the jury:
And now on this day, June 13, 1885,
come the parties with their attorneys
and come also again the jury hereto
fore empannelled in this cause, and
thereupon said jury retires to its DON
to consider of their verdict and after
ward returned into Court here the
following verdict, to:wit: We, the
jury, find for the plaintiff against both
of the defendants and we ssess her
damages at the sum of fourteen hun
dred and fifty dollars.
A. S. CARROLL, Foreman.
1t is therefore considered, ordered,
and adjudged by the Court that plain
tiff have and recover of and from said
defendants the sum of fourteen hun
dred and fifty dollars for her damages,
found as aforesaid, as well her costs
and charges herein laid out and ex-
pended and that execution issue

Let Us Pull Together.

sAbAA LlN hlAhAt 49,
While the Illinois convention de-
clared for unlimited silver coinage al
16 to 1, Nick Perrin, of Belleville, de-
clared in a speech which seemed to
command the respect of the most in
telligent persons there, that:
"a ratio of IS to 1 is not an ire
vocable article of faith, but a rallyine
point, selected to give d~efiniteness to
the general policy of restoring silver
to its place as money"
Now, on such a platform there
would be little division in the Demo-
cratic party. Most of them believe in
bimetallism. The great trouble is the
ratio. Very many good Democrats do
not believe that without an interna-
tional agreement bimetallism can be
maintained at 16 to 1. They believe
that an attempt to coin by our minis
all the silver offered, into dollars OF
the present weight, without reducing
the size of the gold dollar, would re-
suit in silver monometallism, and this
they do not want. They prefer to
hAarthAil ills they have rather than fly
to others they k~nowenot of.
If Democrats viii declare for the
unlimited coinage of silver at such
ratio as will maintain the equality OF
the two kinds of dollars, then the
Democracy can present a united front
and go to battle with the hope of win
ming a glorious victory and accom-
plishing something for the good of the
people. But with al absolute declar-
alton for unlimited coinage at Is to 1
the party would break in pieces and
meet certain defeat.

State Democratic Convention.

FROM tine 81. Louis chronicle.
Since the meeting of the State Com
mittee, June /, not n formal demand
for a convention has been made to the
State Democratic Committee by a
county committee.
Prior to June 1, II requests were
filed with Chairman Maffitt, but since
the committee of the ia counties have
maintained a silence that has been
damaging to the silver cause.
Chairman Maffitt said Wednesday:
eff the people want a State silver
convention they have taken a strange
way of securing it, for l have not re-
ceived a single request to that effect.
"The only information l have had
since our last meeting, June /, OF the
sentiment of the people on the con-
vention question, l have derived from
the newspapers. Up to June 1 we had
received just II formal requests for a
State silver convention"

Columbia. Mo-. Post Office Row,


WASHINGTON, D.C.June 13.-Assist-
ant Postmaster Jones has rather a
peculiar Post Office contest on his
hands in regard to the site of the Post
Office at Columbia, Mo. There have

plants filed for and against the re-

it until to-day when he received an
astonishing dispatch from a promi-
ner: citizen OF Columbia. This dis
patch was from Mr.. r. B. Price, said
to be a near relative of a distinguished
General of that name, who informs the
Post Office Department that if the
ColumbiaPo Post Office is removed to the
proposed site it will completely ruin
the Presbyterian Church next door.
Mr.. Jones does not believe that q de-
Gently conducted Post Office should
have any bad effect upon a church
and he is anxiously awaiting a reply
to a request made by him of Mr.. Price
for an explanation.

THE E MYSTERY.
DIR. Hearne Sues Two Editors Fol-
S100,000-The Grand Jury Will
Investigate.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, June 13.-Stipula-
tions were filed to-day in the office OF
the Clerk of the Hannibal Court OF
Common Pleas for taking dispositions
in the case entitled DR.. Joseph Hearne
VS.. M. FL. Dreing and ]. II. Blunt, the
former being the editor and publisher
of the San Francisco Chronicle, and
the latter the city editor of the same.
A suit is brought by the plaintiff for
damages to the amount of 100000
The alleged damaging article was
published in San Francisco Chronicle
several months ago, relating to the
marriage, divorce and remarriage OF
DR.. Hearne and Mrs. Annie Stillwell,
widow of the murdered Amos ]. Still
well.
In the article the Stillwell murder
was incidentally referred to, which in
directly intimated that DR.. Hearne
and his wife knew something about it.
According to the stipulation, there
are 26 witnesses to be examined. Next
Monday the examination begins.
1t is thought the present Grand Jury
will take up the Stillwell murder case
while these dispositions are being
taken.

On to Mexico, Mo-, Again.


Our friends UP at Mexico, Mo-, have
organized a new Fair Association, and
will have a five days. meeting, begin
ming July 30, over the famous kite
mile track-horsemen say the best in
the world. About 81 1000 in stock in
the new association was taken by the
enterprising business men of that live
town in less than two days, which
shows that Mexico is still alive in the
matter of her horse interests. The
step that Mexico has taken is encour-
aging, and the Rural World hopes to
see Louisiana and Moberly line up on
each side of their enterprising neigh
Dor. Well patronized meetings can
be held at all these places, which, in
connection with Roodhouse, Ill, would
form a convenient circuit.
The stockholders of the Mexico As
ISOLATION elected the following direc-
tors: Sam B. Cook, w. J. Bolts, Jas.
T. Johnson, E. B. Norris, Chas. w.
Lewis, r. r. Buckner, j. E. Martin.
The directors elected the following
officers: S. B. Cook, President; w.
j. Bolts, Vice-President; Maj. H. A.
Ricketts,, Cashier Southern Bank,
Treasurer; ]. A. Glandon, Secretary;
B. B. Runkle, Assistant Secretary.
1t vas decided to open a 81, 900 stake
for saddle horses, which is a long
stride in advance of anything yet at
tempted in this line. Mr.. G. F. Clark
last year gave the Fair at Mexico an
$500 stake for saddlers, and it brought
together the best in the world. Now
the Mexico Association has decided
to 20 5000 better than last year. This
is a step in the right direction. The
| Rural World admires the pluck of it's
Mexico friends. They don't believe
in going backward. We expect tosee
the best on earth at Mexico this year.
Our Kentucky friends are hereby no.
| tilted that it is the largest premium
ever offered for saddle horses, and
that they must begin to put their good
ones in shape if they expect to COM
pete successfully with Missouri.
