| The Pennington Herald: ssThe body
of /. G. Beal, at one time well known
and respected citizen of Pennington,
and which has been buried for over
twenty eight years, was taken from its
grave in the yard in the Beal property
in this city yesterday, and will to-day
| be placed in the Masonic cemetery be-
| side his wife who died last Monday.
The body was buried in metallic cof-
| fin and is in perfect state of preser-
walton. Almost the very features. it
is said, can be recognized by the few
of his surviving acquaintances who
have seen the corpse. The clothing,
to all appearances, is as perfect as it
ever was. the shirt and collar being
scrupulously white
Died-At the Baptist Orphan Home,
St. Louis, Emmat, infant son of 5. B.
Sproule, of lung fever. Born May 81,
1895. died February 10. 1896, age s
months and 20 days. The remains
were laid TO rest in Kansas City by the
side of his mother, Emma T., who

Sproule, in his hour of deep afiliction.
Speaking of the probable candidacy
of Auditor Seibert for Governor, the
Dunklin Democrat has this to say, ev-
cry word of which the REGISTER en-
dorses: HE has right to talk with
goldbugs, railroad magnates, silver
ties, populists, A. P. A. leaders, or
any body he likes. He is an honest
man and will probably not be contain
mated by such intercourse. 1t is all
wrong to question the motives of a
man because he happens to be on
friendly terms with some one we do not
like. A Democrat is not necessarily
traitor if he happens to be found III
company with a Republican. Politically
they may be enemies, personally
friends. Only very narrow, very jeal-
Gus, very envious people take any ac-
count of public officials every little
act and every association.
The Reynolds Outlook says that '.Wil-
lie Fox while attending church near
Polk Randolph's got into racket with
another boy by the name of Asberry.

we understand, will endanger his life. :"
The Centreville Refornaer of last
week contained the following bit of in
teresting news: 1.-The Laclede Land &
Improvement Company failed to pay
taxes on some land that was assessed
to them. Our collector levied on their
abstract book for the taxes. It was
found that the book does not belong to
them, but is the property of the Knapp
Stout Company. That being the case.
of course the Collector had to release
the book, and the land will now go de-
linquent. The Clarkson Saw Mill Com
pany also intended to do likewise, but
when they understood that the Collec-
tor would levy on their personal prop
erty, they paid their taxes"
The output of Washington county's
lead mines is said to be increasing.
New developments are being made,
and the work is done more systemati-
cally than in times past when the ..sur-
face-scratchers" abounded and their
methods prevailed. The Independent
of last week says that .sthe mines OF
Messrs. Curtis & Walker, on the Nc
Arthur lands just southw OF Potosl
are yielding large quantities OF lead
ore. The prospect is considered by
many to be lasting one and the out
