Notice to Grand and Petit Jurors:

Owing to the crowded condition o
the Carroll county circuit court dock
et, and especially on account of ths
trial of the notorious Taylor BROTH
ers for the murder of the Meeks fam
lily near Milan last May, which is tax
ing place at Carrollton, it is deemed
necessary to adjourn Charlton cir
cult court for one week. All jurors
summoned to appear at Keytesville
on April 1st are hereby notified to
make their appearance on the 9th
prox. instead of the Let.
The land sales will be made on the
day advertised in the county papers.
All parties interested in the same
should be on hand.
By order of the court in vacation.
II. b. RICHARDSON, Clerk.
The above order wa made in com.
pliance with the following letter from
Judge w. w. Rucker to Circuit Clerk
IL. b. Richardson:
THE LETTER.
Carrellton, Mo-, March 10, 1895.
Mr.. II. b. Richardson.
Keytesville. No.
Dear Sir:-Just after you left last night 1
called mp the Taylor case and the defense an
nounced ready for trial. When we began
making arrangements about the jury, giving
sheriff time TO summons thom, and complet-
ing time for counsel to make their challenges,
found it to be physically impossible to try
the case during the two weeks have at this
place. As you know we have two other inur-
der cases. one in which the jury has already
been ordered. and another in which both
sides are ready for trial. / made close calcu-
lation and found that it was necessary to
have more time here or would be compelled
OF my own motion, notwithstanding the
announcements OF both sides for trial, TO
continue the case against the Taylors. OF
course do not want to take this RESPONSE
bility, and as the only alternative viii have
to exercise the power given me by section
3249 OF the statute. and adjourn the Key
| tesville court for one week. write you in
order that you may consult the attorneys
and notify them Of my action. aud also issuf
subpenas in harmony herewith.
Now would suggest that the dates OF al
the printed dockets, if they have not yet
been sent out, be simply changed SO as to
make each date one week later than the one
which it is at present. Also have the papers
make publication of the fact that the term
has been adjourned for one week. Ii you will
| cooperate with me in this matter / am salts
fed we can make the adjournment as stated
without any material Inconvenience to at
torneys or appreciable increase in costs.
dislike very much to make this order with
out consultation with the members OF the
bar, and too without knowing what incon
venience it might cause, but ieel that it is i'm
perative upon ne to do SO. / wish you
would see to it that each paper in the county
makes an announcement OF this and gives il
some prominence. SO that it may be sure to
reach all the petit and grand iurymen and
avoid their attendance on the first day oi
April instead Of the Monday following. Let
the article state that all jurors summoned to
attend on the 1st will be compelled under the
summons to attend on the Sth instead.
Yours Truly.

now, and the imitation is so fine that 1t is
scarcely worth while to talk of the real,
even If one can afford it.
All the dainty silks and laces in the
world will not crowd out the trim tailor
made gown. Those fer the southern and
transcortinental trips are being made now,
and they are a delight to the eye that
loves severe lines. Really, you know, they
are the most comfortable dress in the
world to travel in. because there are no
frills and things to get out of fix. and a
woman in a tailor-made gown can go
around the world and look as well at the
end as at the beginning of the trip If she
does not meet with some unforetold acct
dent. Tweeds, cheviots and boucle fabrics,
in fact, almost any coarsely woven mate
rial Is the choice, and there is an inclina-
ton to get away from stiff Innings, which
muss and add to the weight.
Some of these gowns are made In three
pieceS-Skirt, vest and coat-and have two
or three waists of silk or Saline. Others,
the one illustrated. for instance, have a
waist, skirt and cape all alike, and extra
blouse waists for warmer weather. The
cape Is usually lined with bright silk Of
some harmonious shade, but the only sign
of trimming on the gown will be stitching
wherever the fancy strikes you to put
them. A trimmed sailor or some varla-
ton of the English walking hat, with close
trimming, Is the only headgear permissi-
BILE with travelling gown, though you
sometimes see overturned big hats on
new travellers. If 1t Is the shade Of big
hat that Is desired, then trim 1t simply
as possible and don't wear flowers on a
travelling hat.

REPUBLICANS IN MISSOURI,
Their Chances of Success in the Com
ing Contests.

Their Chances of Success in the Com
ing Contests.
There are four candidates: Francis
Bland, Stone and Vest-himself to succeed
Senator Vest" remarked to Star report
er, a prominent democrat politician of
Kansas City, who is just now in Washing
ton to aid Controller Eckels in selecting
receiver for the Bank of Kansas City, Just
failed but If you want my square, honest
view, it is that none of them will get 1t. I
don't think the coming colleague of Sena-
tor Cockrell will beea democrat at all. 1t
looks cloudy for the Missouri democracy
next time. I expect the republicans will
walk off with the legislature and the gov
ernorship The governor will undoubtedly
be Mai William Warners Representative
Tarsney's predecessor in Congress from the
Kansas City district. There is almost q
certainty that the republicans will noni-
nate Warner, and Irfeel no more loubt Of
his election that lido that I'm alive. As
for Vests successor, it will be Chauncey 1
Filley of st. Louis
1.-The trouble arises from the rent and
torn condition of the Missouri democracy
over silver In the cities OF st. Louis and
Kansas City a strong gold sentiment pre-
walls, but out through the state In the
smaller towns andl country districts the
people are plumb wild for silver. In
state convention the silver element would
probably be the stronger and the state
ticket and platform OF the democratlc. part
next time will be for free silver. I rather
look in fact to see them name Dick Bland
for governor. But Warner would beat him.
All of the gold democrats all over the state
would vote for Warner and against Bland.
Warner would carry the cities of st. Louis
and Kansas City by tremendous majorties.
Thus is the Missouri democracy divided.
IF the silver men make the platform and
ticket the gold democrats will vote the re-
publican ticket. If the gold democrats
should be strong enough in the convention
to build the platform and name the candi-
dates the silver democrats will vote the
populist ticket. In either event it would
bring republican success, which brings me
around to the statement again that Mai.
Warner will be the next governor and
Chauncey I. Filley the next Senator from

ed by large hats. For church or evening
wear the flower capote will prove popular
all season, no matter what French au-
thority is quoted to the contrary. The
cute little bow bonnet, or its half sister,
the wreath of flowers, is becoming to most
American faces, because the American wo-
man Is less given to powder and rouge
than her foreign sister, and can expose
her unveiled countenance to the gaze of
the public without fear Of her makeup
being criticised The broader hat, with it's
cage-like veil. helps to cover up the de-
ception, and that makes it more popular
with a certain class.
For summer wear, hats are bound to
take the place Of the good-for-nothing-but-
to-look-pretty little head dresses that are
dignified by the name bonnet. Sunstroke
would be inevitable otherwise, though one
could wear a damp sponge on the place
that the bonnet does not coyer, but that
suggestion will scarcely be adopted. The
French authority just referred to says that
the Louis Seize hat. or rOund-crowned, fiat
and decidedly broad-brimmed chapeau,
boldly turned up at the back, is first favor
lite. 1t is trimmed with broad bows or
rosettes Of heavy ribbons, clumps of feath-
ers or whole posy patches of flowers and
yards and yards Of lace.
