deriDg Miss Eta Hancock, a
Former Student of the
State University.
SURELY A JUST VERDICT.
The Young Lady's Friends Elated
Over the Result of the Trial

Over the Result of the Trial
In 1885 Mr.. T. j. Hancock OF near
Keytesville moved his wife ard
daughters to Columbia. Boone coun-
ty, for the purposs of educating the
young ladies at the state university.
Mr.. Hancock remaining on the farm
There Iurked an adder in Miss Etta
Hancock'r path. and she was stung
by the poisonous tongue OF slander.
DIR. J. ;. Blackwell, one OF the pro-
fessors of the university. being the
possessor Of that vile tongue.
The Infamous slander OF Miss Eta
Hancock 10y Prof. Blackwell was
brought about by that distinguished
lineuist's own in6iscretion, he hav-.
ing on one occasion nude advances
to the young lady by attempting to
kiss her. She Indignantly repulsed
his approaches and on returning
home informed her mother OF what
DIR. Blackwell had done
The shrswd tD professor, who
speaks 40 different languages We
believe, was NOT slow TO see the unen-
yiabls dilemma in which he was
placed, and realized fully thstit
would be necessary to place the
|. young lady in u questionable light
in the community or he would be
ruined
About this time a sum OF money
amounting TO $40 or $40 was stolen
from the residence OF Prof. Purinto1,
anoi her one OF the university pro-
fessors, aud for some tat that time)
unknown reason suspicion fell on
M:ss Eta Hancock as being the
thief. The case was turned over tn
CITY Marshal Clinkscales.
At this iuncture DR.. Blackwell ap-
peared as her friend aud offered to
go on Miss Etta's bond and to as
sist her in every way possible.
Ii afterwards developed that DIR.
Blackwell was the man who directed
suspiciou to Miss Eta, and that he
had told Prof. Purintou that he
(Blackwell) hadn't a doubt but
what Miss Hancock was the one who
took the money from his (Purin-
ton's) residence.
On hearing of the desperate game
Blackwell had played and now fully
recognizing him "a wolf in Sleeps
clothing. the irreparably wronged
and injured young lady consulted AN
attorney, who promptly advised her
to bring suit against Blackwell for
slander. This she did in the Boone
county circuit court, but the plain
tiff took "A change OF venue TO
Montgomery county and defendant
from there TO Lincoln county, where
the suit was dismissed by the plain
tin, but was subsequently, reinstitu :
ted in Boone county for S25, 600.
The case went to trial last Friday
afternoon and was given to the jury
Saturday night. a verdict being re-
turned in favor oI the yonng lady
lass Mordav or $4,000. Her
attorneys wrr.. Messrs. Guitar, Cor
don &6ord"U u; Columbia.
There Is uu doubt about the
amount of, money being recovered
from tie dci.ndant "a Blackwell IL
estimated tn oe worth from $35. 900
to $4,000.
Since this suit wns brought against
him he has resigned his position in
the faculty of the univerSity, thereby
greatly purifying the moral of that
institution.
The fair plaintiffs friends. both at
Keytesville and Columbia, are great

H Touches Our Heart and Has Re
suited in the Reduction of the
Price of the Courier TO
SI.00 a Year.
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
No Family in Charlton County Can
Now Afford TO Do Without the
Great Favorite Weekly.

The COURIER il at the head of the
procession of Charlton county news
papers. Ii leads while others follow.
1t originates while others initiate.
It gives from two to four times as
much county news as any OF its con-
temporaries. and is known and rec
ognizsd as "the best paper published
in Charlton county"
The above facts have led us TO be-
lieve that the COURIER was worth
more than 81 n year, aud We have
therefore charged S1.50, and az this
advance in price we have succeeded
in increasing our subscription list
from 1 200 in September, 1889. TO
nearly 1 800 mp to- the present time
and our list still continues 10 grow.
But the low prices of farm pro-
ducts and the plaintive letter of our
friend and patron Of long standing
below has set US TO thinking, and we
have concluded TO reduce the price
OF the COURIER to 81 u year. as we
regard the 81 rate as more in keep
ing with the present times.
In making this reduction we sh2l
Hexpect every one of our friends to as
sist us in booming our subscription
list. and We feel confident they viii
gladly do so. Tell your friends and
your iriends' friends about the 81
COURIER and induce them to sub
scribe. =, ssrs.s. -.
In order to get the benefits of this
reduction. all old scores must be sec
tied at the rate of S1.50 a year be
tween now and April Let, 1895. Al
whose subscriptions are not paid by
that time their accounts will b'
placed in the hands of an attorney
for collection.

How Do Butchers Live?

Mr.. EditOr-I am frequently called
to Ironton 10 make purchases for my
self and family, and find. as a general
thing, the merchants in sympathy with
the financial crisis now upon us: sell
their goods and wares accordingly
that is, at a reduction from former
prices. Everything is lower: the pro-
duce we bring to market does not bring
us within 80 per cent. of what we got
one year ago. Did l say everything
had come down? l beg your pardon!
/ forgot the butcher. and he sells his
wares as high as ever-no come down
with him. Oh, no! He can't stand it!
He pays from ct. to l J cts. pound
for his cattle, and only gets to 10 cts.
a pound. Why he reduced his price
on meat, he couldn't live!" Just think
of this: we bring in butter to sell; We
get from y! to Is cts. pound, with
the ground covered with snow and ice
a foot deep; we go to the butchers
with our proceeds and get /! to 2
pounds of beef for one pound of butter
and for the poor COW that produces
that butter we can get from l ct. to
il cts. pound. Stir them up, Mr..
Editor, Give US our meat at like re-
duction with other commodities. If
not. then change the name OF Irontou
to Butcherstown, for at their prices
they will soon own it.

Mrs. O'Brien is vigorously preparing
for the summer campaign. The car
penters and paper-hangers and painter.
will soon be hard at work putting il
| order the forty rooms of the Arcade
House. The grounds are being cleared
up and put in good condition; the ole
and useless tumble-dOwn buildings
which have numbered the premises for
years are being removed to make place
for more modern structures; and ere
long the famous old hostelrie and its
surroundings will assume their pris-
tine glory and sightliness. No one
who knows of her doubts that Mrs.
OBJ knows how to keep hotel, and we
predict that the Arcadia House will be
filled to Overlooking soon after the first
touch of the summer solstice.
We learn that Mr.. Mangold of Area
dia has let the contract for a sixteen
room hotel building on the Straw berry
Cottage lot, Louis Miller to do the
work. The Cottage has seven rooms,
and the addition will make a commo-
dious hotel plant. We understand
that the building will be begun imme-
diately and completed in time for the
accommodation of summer visitors this
year. The premises are in every way
desirable for the purpose, and we be-
lieve that under Mr.. Mangold's man.
agement the enterprise will prove a
success in every way. There is, nat
urally, no more desirable summer re-
sort liz the West, and, with suitable

those who spend the hot months out
of the city.
In proportion to the size of the city
in which it is printed, The Kansas city
Star has larger circulation than any
other American newspaper. Its re-
markable success has been achieved by
its unfaltering adherence to the rule of
giving its readers the best that The
Stars increasing revenues could fur
nish and it's improved facilities could
supply. The Star was the first news
paper to give Its readers full weeks
papers-six evenings and Sunday morn
ing-for 10 cents, thing that could
not be profitable except when done on
the big scale on which The Star does
everything. The Star was also the
first to establish a weekly edition for
the trifiing price of % cents year;
10000 regular circulation for the
weekly edition demonstrates the wis
dom of the idea.
Last Sunday afternoon about three
o'clock the north end of town had a
runaway which might have been at

ice, his forefeet slipped and he came
down fat on the ground. He was I'M
able to get up until released from the
shafts. and SO the runaway came to an
end without other damage to the occu-
pants of the carriage than good
shaking-up, both mentally and bodily.
After the horse was quieted they pro-
ceeded on their way to their destina-
ton without further incident or acct
