Thomas L. Anderson of louisiana, No.
a student of Centred college at Fayette, won
the $40 prize given by the intercollegiate
Oratorical association Mt Kansas City last
Friday night in which there were six schools
represented, via: The state university,
Westminster college, Park college, vii
liam Jewell college, Missouri Valley college
and Central college. Paul D. Decker of
Park college won second prize, $40; A. C.
Harrison OF Westminster won 3rd prize,
$40.
Mr.. Anderson will represent the Missouri
association in the utter state contest
to be held at Galesburg, ILL.,, May 2nd..
The name Of Thos. L. Anderson has been
familiar to Aissourians for years. This
young man is a member of the Sd generation
bearing that name. His grandfather, Hon.
Thos. L. Anderson, lived for many years in
Palmyra, Mo-, and was one of the leading
criminal lawyers of the state.
In politics he was a whig and one time rep
resented his district in congress. In our boy
hood days we used to be delighted while
listening to his eloquent speeches, at the
bar or in political campaigns. The Anderson
family have been noted for their high order
of talent. We have never known a. me-
diocre among them.

The Taylor Brothers Trial.

The trial of the notorious Taylor

the murder of the Meeks family,
near Browning, Linn county, in
May, 1894. it is believed will result
in hung jury, and that the jury
stand ten for conviction, and two
for acquittal.
1t is alleged that two of the jurors
had accepted a bribe to hang the
jury, and were paid $3.50, each. by
friends of the Taylors to do so.
A special grand jury will probably
be empaneled to investigate these
charges OF bribery. and it is to bp
hoped the matter will be ferreted to
the bottom and the guilty parties,
il guilty they be, punished to the

Mr.. JuIian's Resolution.

inst at the close of the legislature, when
everybody was passing resolutions of thanks
and congratulations on everybody else
the railroad lobby enjoyed a little triumph
over one of its arch-enemies that serves to
toshoW how strong was its influence over
the most responsible officials of the house.
Mr.. Julian. with that fine sense of satircaI
humor that has delighted his friends and
confused his enemies through many des
perate contest, decided to cast just one more
drop OF bitterness into the cup OF his enemies
bliss. He introduced little resolution
"appertaining to the business of the house."
which was shat OF by the speaker SO
quickly that the other wags on the floor had
not even time to point the little moral it
contained, and before score of all tho
persons had been essayed. That resolution
was so quickly done for that even Mr.. Julian
himself has wondered whatever it was begun
tor. but as it isaltogether too good to be lost
in review Of this character it is reproduced.
Il read:
Whereas, The Colonies Phelps. Flanagan
and Carroll have been confined very closely
all winter by assiduous attentions to the
business of this general assembly; and.
Whereas. They have been very successful
in serving their constituents, having killed
the fellow-servsnt bill, and, in fact, defeated

Fruit and Crops.


Notwithstanding some unfavora-
BILE reports it seems that later devel-
opments show there is good pros
pect for fruit. Many peach buds are
killed, but on most trees there is a
sufficiency Of live buds to insure a
fair crop of peaches. Plume, apri-
cots, pears, cherries, apples, currents
and gooseberries are alive and
promise an abundant yield. We
can't answer for Strawberries, black
berries nor raspberries, but with
favorable weather hereafter we cer-
tainly will have an abundant fruit
harvest.
The wheat crop in Charlton coun-
ty, we think, shows about an aver
age prospect for good yield. In
some localities it was never better,
while in -vther fields it was injured
by the snsw being blown away and
leaving the plant without covering
and moisture during the cold and
dry weather.
