ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 3.--V. 7, Will
liams. editor of the Stanberry Herald,
and +. A. Weimer, editor of the Stan.
berry Sentinel, have been indulging in
a newspaper quarrel. Williams stated
in his paper Tuesday that he had ac-
cumulated all his property himself,
and, while his taxes were not as
much as those of the editor Of
the Sentinel, none of his wealth had
come in the way Of a hymenal con-
tract made at the altar. Mrs. Weimer
considered that the paragraph re-
flected on her. She is the daughter OF
j. w. Hampton, Denver millionaire,
who lived for many years at Mount
Pleasant, la. The day of her mar
riage her father presented the editor
with check for $40, 900, and it was to
this present that reference was made
by Williams. In the afternoon Mrs.
Weimer accompanied by her husband,
went to the Herald Office and horse
whipped Williams, while Weimer

The Democratic cCunvsntion--Dark Horse

jackson, Aug. 2,--As the time ap-
proaches for tho meeting of the State
Democratic nominating convention In
tense interest is manifested here by the
friends OF tho various and numerous
candidates for honors and emolu ments
The convention, from the present out
look, will be the largest ever assembled
at this capital Not less than 1000 ac-
credited delegates are expected, besides
hosts Of friends Of the candidates, who
will come to work and log-roll for their
respective champions.
A rumor is current in political circles
that there is deal on foot to bring ont

and it is supposed to have in some way
connection with or to affect the race Tor
United States senator As far as can be
ascertained from expressions OF loyal
party men, such a course OF proceeding
is very much deprecated.
AS claimed by them, there are two
tried and true candidates for the posi-
ton who have made open and straight
forward canvasses Of the State, to-wit
Hon. J. II. Jones OF Wilkinson and Dr.
A. II. Bays of Webster. The former is
a lawyer Of great ability and has served
repea ledly in both houses Of the legis
laturr, and in the constitutional conven
ton If the State, wherein he reflected
honoe upon his State and acquired To-
bim,clf marked distinction and honors
and who also has been for many years
10 ,ding spirit in the political arena
aiding in shaping the course and achiev
ing the success Of his party. The lat
ter, DR.. Bays, is no less worthy and dis
,inguished. and well deserves the com
mendation Of his friends. Their friends
claim that it would be an egregrion
wrong to these gentlemen, after thei
arduous and expensive canvass, for

snrred no tolls and anxieties to come II

In an interview Phillip Didlake, 81
Rankin county, who lives in secti IN
where many barrels of molasses are
made, talked alJut the trouble the
farmers had to encounter in its manu-
facturc. He says the great trouble in
max ng molasses is that when it is
cooked a little too thick large per-
centage of it goes 10 sugar, and If cooked
a little too thin it sours during the fol-
lowing summer. A great deal moro
molasses would be made all over this
section Of the country, both for family
use and for the market, | think, il the
process of making, to avoid the two
troubles mentioned, was better known.
Any farmer or other person WHO las
| rule for making molasses and can
guarantee it free from these serious
drawbacks, would confer a favor on his
brethren by giving it to the public. A
great deal Of Louisiana molasses is
going to be made this fall, and that it
will be cheaper than heretofore, selling
at frG,n % to 35 cents, according to
