BOTH SIDES READY.

The Celebrated Taylor Case WIN Be
Called Some Time Next Week.
CARRoLLToN, Mo-, July 1s.-At $50
p. m. the Taylor brothers were brought
into court, and Mr.. Bresnehan said the
state was ready for trial Colonel
Hale, for the defense, said they did
not want continuance, but that they
had three or four witnesses in Linn
and Sullivan counties who were sick,
and that they wanted an order from
the court to take their dispositions.
The court granted the order and the
defense answered ready for trial The
court ordered a special venire of 300
men from which to select a panel of
forty, and the sheriff was instructed
to have them in court Monday next at
1 o'clock. The court also instructed
the sheriff to allow no one to assist in
getting the venire except regularly
sworn deputy sherifs. This will make
the case come up for trial about Thurs
day.
The indications are that the case
will be more vigorously contested
than the former one. The attorneys
for the state are T. M. Bresnehan, T.
B. Fields, A. W. Mullins, L. A. Holli-
day, Sidney Miller, B. f: Pierce and
James L. MINIS. For the defense,
Colonel J. B. Hale, E. r. Stephens, D.
M Wilson, r. F. Lozier, James F.
Graham and T. M. Brinkley. The de-
tense has about 200 witnesses and the
state will have over 100. Both sides
claim to have important evidence, but
it is impossible now to state what it
is. Colonel A. W, Meyers, who has
been reported to have withdrawn from
the case, SAYS it is false.

The Hearne-De Young Libel Suit Be-

HANNIBAL, Mo-, July 18.-The ex-
element in the Hearne-D De Young libel
suit reached its height yesterday when
it was decided to search every person
entering Attorney Mahan's Office,
where the dispositions are being taken.
There has been fear expressed all
along that some of the interested
parties would take to shooting. This
was especially feared of DR.. Hearne.
This somewhat sensational step was
not taken, however, as plans were
changed at the last moment, as it was
learned that Dr. Hearne had no
weapons upon him.

whisky and vagabondagc.


There is one other cause of vagrancy
more potent than all / have described.
and it's name is-whisky. The love OF
liquor brings more men and women into
trampdom than anything else, and until
this fact is more conscientiously recog-
nized there can be no thorough treatment
of the tramp. There is no need to enter
into details on this subject: all that | can
do is to report the fact. The public needs
to realize more fully than it now does the
awful effects of strong drink on vaga-
bonds. A realization Of this fact is likely
to be productive Of some remedy for the
evils it represents. II the tramps of
America could be freed from the bondage
into which whisky has brought them,
there would not be very many Migrants
in the country. That the American tramp
is the result of the fluctuations of the la
Dor market, as some claim, ! do not be-
lieve. The American tramp does not
want work, as a rule; but | know that he
does want to be free from liquor. A d
if this can be accomplished, ! feel safe in
saying that he will 90 to work. Under
the influence of drink he becomes a sort
Of voluntary idler; but if he were temper
ate, he could be made valuable citizen.

eminent and the gain to the bankers Of
the syndicate who purchased S62, 800, 600

$40, S22, $50.
That is to say, the government bought
S62, 600, 600 plus Of gold, for which it paid
premium Of Is 10 per cent. and paid
in gold bonds, bearing gold interest, at
the rate of per cent. and having 30 years
to run. In Gen. Harrison's Administra-
ton bonds Of like character sold at a
rate which yielded less than 8 per cent. !,

FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular Of Br wn &,

~: FOR case OIL and long voyage general cargo
tonnage there has been an exceedingly quiet mar
ket during the week. Regarding the former staple
owners are completely in the dark as to the plans
ana policy Of the leading shippers but with the
knowledge that the tonnage supply receives very
light additions, they stand BY previous rates in
the hope that exporters requirements will neces-
state early action, and that the position Of the
market will soon be strengthened by actual bust
ness Barrel petroleum freights continue quiet,
and the fixtures OF the week indicate slight
weakening OF owners limits. Suitable tonnage,
however, is scarce, and with any important revival
Of interest the belief quite general that will
improve to more remunerative basis. The de.
mand for naval store tonnage to load at primary
points does not improve so far as surface indica-
lions are concerned, few charters, either here or
abroad, being reported. Lumber tonnage for the
River Plate has been in better demand with fix
lures reported from Provincial and Gulf ports,
the rates obtained showing no material change
from recent quotations of the market. Tonnage
for general cargo to South American and West
India ports has attracted considerable attention
Of late, though backward freight yet offers very
sparingly. The prospects for the Cuba sugar trade
the coming season are of very uncertain charac-
ter, the disturbed condition of affairs on thar
island upsetting all calculations relative to the
crop and boiling industry Rates for lumber
coastwise appear to maintained upon a gener-
ally steady basis, with fair demand for tonnage
reported. Coal freights continue slow, with pre-
valllng rates low and unremunerative.

The Weekly Paper the Best.

cit is somewhat amusing" says an ex-
change, s'to see how quickly some of our
business men will catch on to advertising
in haphazard sheet which is once looked
at and then destroyed, while weekly
newspaper that is kept through the week
and read by the whole family and their
visitors, is very reluctantly patronized.
This is only true in part. Successful
business men know and appreciate the
value of we'll established weekly as an
advertising medium. It is the fellows
who pass by the home paper to spend
money on every fake advertising scheme
that comes to town, or who think they
have done all that needs to be done when
they put card in the paper. Indeed,
you may pick out the live business men
of town by looking over the advertise
ments Of the weekly paper Of that town,
and noting who have the enterprise and
push to take space there, in addition to
all other means Of putting themselves be-
fore the public.

For Good Roads.

Colonel Albert A. Pope, who has done
such grand work for the national good
roads cause, writes:
ut would be a good thing if tie Gov
eminent would extend the good road work
in the Department Of Agriculture and
build the great national highways. Then,
if the States would follow the example Of
New Jersey and Massachusetts, and build
State roads, leaving to towns and cities
the streets, we would, in the course Of
time, develop a system Of highways not
excelled by any in the world. 1t has got to
come. Perhaps we may not see it, though
hope to. Horses have seen their best
days. Electricity and bicycles have par
TALLY done away with their use, and be-
fore this century expires practical motor
carriages will be in use. Then the de-
mand will be for still better roads and
good roads in all directions, and the poor
old horse will be relegated to the country,
where he belongs
