HOUCK ON TOP.
The Big Corporation
Again in the Soup.
The Attempt 10 steal the HOuck
Railroad Headed Off by Four
Against Three of the SUI
DreIue Judges.

The Supreme Court to-day overrui-
ed the motion made by the Missouri
Pacific for writ of seizure Of the Cape
Girardeau road. AS it will be remem-
bered the Supreme Court decided last
June that the Court of Common Pleas
had no jurisdiction to entertain suit
brought by the company to have its
property placed in the hands of Re
caiver. and made an order on Louis
Houck to deliver the property to a
Receiver that had been appointed or
might be appointed by the Stoddard
Circuit Court. This case was appeal
ed to the United States Supreme Court
but the appeal was dismissed because
no Federal question was involved in
the case. On the both of March a writ
was sued out of the Supreme Court
and served on Mr.. Houck to deliver
the road. which he refused to do. On
the 9th OF April motion was made for
writ of seizure and to turn the road
over 20 Eli Klotz. This motion was
stoutly contested by Mr.. HOuck and
Leo Doyle. through their counsel. Hon.
NJ. L. Smith and Hon. r. B. Oliver.
The point was made that in March.
1891. Mr.. Houck had taken possession
of the property as Receiver of the Cape
Girardeau Circuit Court in suit in
stituted by Mr.. Doyle to forclOse his
mortgages and that, therefore. the
property could not be turned over TO
Klotz but that property was now being
administered in regular course by a
court of competent jurisdiction
and this view the Supreme Court sus-
tanned. Judges Mcfarland, Brace and
Sherwood dissenting and Judges
CAN'T, Burgess, Barclay and the new
Judge, Robinson. sustaining the con-
tention OF Houck and Doyle.
It is to be hoped that this will finally
settle the barefaced attempt of the
Missouri Pacific to steal the Cape Cir
ardeau road for the paltry sum of
81. 500. co which is due on bonds held
by that line and which amount has
been again and again tendered to them.

Deal With Our own Merchants !.

1t seems wonderful how gullible
the greater portion of people are as
o general thing. Let any stranger
come into town with q glib tongue
and fake idea and he is almost
certain to reap a rich harvest. 1t
has been noticed for some time that
different travellers carrying a
small line of this or that, have set
up for a few days and have done a
fair business, walking off with
money that should have gone into
the pockets Of legitimate dealers in
the city, whose prices would be in
variably less than those paid to
the traveller. If an article is
bought from q local dealer.and does
not suit in any way, you know
where you got it, but when buying
from the other class your money is
gone and you do not know where
to find them. Our dealers are men
who live among us and have rep
utation; those have none to lose
but gain q fat living at the expense
of the people. 1t is SO in all things;
patronize home industries; deal
with tho men who have city's in
terest at heart and let others be
"taken in' by travelling fakes and
we certainly shall then be a pros
porous and wealthy city.

Test for Drinking Water,

A simple method of testing drink
ing water is to put into a perfectly
clean bottle with ground glass stop
per, five ounces Of water to be test
cd. 10 the water add 10 grains of
pure, granulated, white sugar,
Cork tight and set in a window ex-
posed freely to light, but not to the
direct rays Of the sun. DO not dis
turb the bottle, and keep the tenn
perature as near 10 degrees f.. as
possible, If the water contoins or
ganic matter, within As hours an
abundance of whitish specks will
be seen floating about, and the
moro organic matter, the more
specks. In a week or 10 days, if
water is very bad, the odor Of ram
cid butter will be noticed on re-
moving the stopper. The little
specks will settle to the bottom,
where they appear as white floccu-
lent masses. Such water should
not be used for drinking.

The murderer of James George
and the wounding of l.. A. Lurchin
near Sparta, last Feberuary, by
Geo, W. Chamberlain, was thought
at the time to be the act Of an in
sane man and the escape Of the
murderer without leaving behind
him any trace of his whereabouts,
although diligent inquiry has been
instituted to apprehend him, gave
strength to the theory that perhaps
Chamberlain had taken his own
life after the preparation Of his
horrible deed, says the Chronicle.
This has proven true. On Tues.
day last about midday, a boy by
the name Of Cotton, living in the
vicinity Of the scene of the murder,
was out on the hills searching for
a magpie's nest. He came to d

Judge DePeatt is looking after
the legal features of the deal which
is being carried through by the
Livelys. At Boise, the Walling
ditch, which furnishes irrigation
water, was examined with view
to purchasing, The price is $780,

that an enterprise is legitimate to

of the Bank of England to heck 1t.
London, July 26.-There are interest
ing developments in the money mar
ket here. A sharp rise in Paris ex-
change was naturally anticipated as
soon as the Chinese loan was fioated,
but the enormous rise of yesterday was
of course mainly due to the anticipated
remittance Of funds here, as cabled on
Wednesday.
Exchange receded this afternoon be-
cause the Bank of England has just
announced a reduction in the purchas-
ing price of French and Russian gold
coin to 76s. a14d. per ounce. This was
done to check gold shipments
from France here. 1t will probably he
France is selling gold freely, and it is
feared here that the accumulation of
gold Is likely to be immensely increased
during the next few months. Others
urge that the money market may be
frightened by a lookup of cash in the
Bank of England, but this view is not
supported by present indicat tons.
The money RENTED from France will,
it is stated, go to the credit, at the
Bank of England, Of the Russian gov
ernment. the first installment to Japan
not being due till November. Seven or
eight million pounds will possibly be
spent here by Japan In the renewal Of
her navy, etc. and some will go to
Germany for a similar object. Beyond
this all is mere conjecture, great secrecy
being observed by those conducting the
operation.
The theory that gold will be drawn
from America in this connection seems
unlikely considering the willingness of
the Bank of France to sell gold. Every
thing therefore Indicates a further rise
in French exchange and a prolongation
Of the crisis Of ease in money here.
