PERRY, NO., Dec. 25.-Mark p.
Lafrance, a prominent citizen of this
place, was dangerously shot by his
little son, aged 4 years, about 1880.
The little boy, who had received a toy
pistol, had been playing with II

he laid it down and picked up a loaded
one from the table, and pointing it at
his father, playfully said: "Papa, I'm
going to shoot you,'' and pulled the
trigger. The ball took effect about
three inches above the heart and
ranged downward, passing diagonally
through the left lung and lodging near
the small of the back, making q dan
gerous, though not necessarily fatal,

THE following from the st. Joe
Neus indicates that the new Missouri
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS have already
begun trying to loot the National
Treasury:
Missouri sent n number of "acci-
dents'' to this term of Congress. The
eye of the public is upon these unex-
pected statesmen, and not n little
curiosity is felt as to what they Wilde
now they have been surprised into
Congress. 50 far their movements
suggest the kind of partisan work
that is a disgrace to any people. The
st. Joseph Gazette is authority for the
statement that our South-end-of-the-
CITY Hall Congressman Crowther,
has introduced a bill to restore every
man to the pension lists who has been
dropped during this Democratic ad-
ministration, rascals, frauds and all.
Well. that sounds like Crowther, aud
If there is any line of legislation that
we would expect TO find him pushing
it would be in some way connected
with the public pie, salary-grab or
something that had money out OF the
Treasury for its root.
Now the report that another
accident from Missouri, Joel ID. Hub
bard, who boat Bland. has introduced
a bill putting the Missouri Home
Guards on the pension list. The
"Home Guard" OF Missouri during
the war were pitted against the bush
whackers and were much like them in
irresponsibility and the character of
their warfare. Evidently the new Re-
publican statesmen from Missouri
have gone to Washington with but
one idea in their heads and that is to
get some of the public funds for their
friends.
