Judge Field will take his seat behind
his big desk in the circuit court room
when court %convenes next Monday morn
ing at nine o'clock. Everything is now
In readiness for his reception, and the
room presents q handsome appearance
with its new furniture, beautiful balus-
trades, desks, etc. IL is safe to say that

occasion.
There wal quite q commotion among
the colored people Thursday evening over
the report that q ~10-year-old colored boy
named Arnold Williams had been drown
ed while bathing In the river near the ball
park. He could not be found, and for this
reason his young companions thought
he had been drowned. He was re-
garded as surely dead until a little after
dark, when he went home, and the ex.
element caused by his absence ceased.
In the delegation to the state conven-
ton we find eight loyal democrats. On
reviewing the delegation we observe that
W. q. McCausland Is q bank president
and presiding judge of the county court:
Alonzo Barnes is q prominent merchant;
w. M. Groves, q bank cashier; G. d.
Ragland is county school commissioner;
Julius Voet is a postmaster; C. s. Glass
cock Is q prominent farmerS ). y. Here
ford is q prosperous merchant, and ID. p.
Groves Is q cattle feeder, stock dealer and
bank director. All OF the delegates, with
the exception of Julius Vogt, are original
silver men.
A second floor is being put in the Racket
store, between the lower floor and ceiling,
along the east side of the building. 1t
will be q sort OF platform, with heavy
supporting pillars. Upon 1t will be dis
played the fine line OF gents furnishing
goods carried by this house. The west
side of the room will be used mainly for
the shoe department. The new arrange
ment will give more Don for the accom-
mediation OF customers, and obviate, to
some extent, the trouble experienced by
the public In passing through the store
when it ia crowded.
Cattle shippers will file a complaint
with the officers of the Missouri Pacific,
which 1t is hoped they will not pigeon
hole without acting upon. The shippers
will ask that cattle sheds be erected at the
stock yards near the Pacific depot in this
city, as there are non there to protect
cattle aud hogs from the hot sun In the
summer and the cold rains and SHOWS OF
the winter months. The shippers say
that they have no way to provide water
for their suffering stock when confined
at these yards, and they will also ask the
company to dig q we'll so that they can
water the animals.
The east-bound train on the Lexington
q Boonvills road ran over and killed Mrs.
Luella Sailing, near Edwards station, lGet
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Sailing was deaf
and dumb and did not u to note the
approach of the train. She was carrying
a ccdple of buckets of water and walking
along In the center of the track. As soon
as the engineer saw her he blew the
whistle and an attempt was made to stop
the train, but being under considerable
Roadway and going around a curve on a
down grade the engine was upon her
before the trainmen could check up.
Her skull was crushed and when picked
up she was dead She was a widow about
hfty-six years old and resided with the
family of Mr.. Potter at Edwards. Coroner
Fulkerson and q jury viewed the remains
and Q verdict was returned in accordance
with the above facts. Though a deplOra-
bic accident, 1t seems that 1t could not
have been aVerted.
The democratic convention bestowed Q
worthy honor Monday Ia eleoting Col.
Sam White, of Odessa, as the temporary
chairman and permanent presiding officer.
Missouri is full of good democrats. but 1t
contains non that are more faithful,
honest. or elf-sacrifcing in democracy's
cause than Col. Sam White. In season
aud out of season he has been q jealous
worker. The road 10 never too rugged
nor the political weather too stormy, nor
the distance too long for Col. White to
make Q trip for the party. Among his
possessions is the great respect OF the
democrats OF Lafayette county, and this
possession has been won by a political
and personal record that challenges adj
And Col. White Is proud of
the possession. In politics he stands as
solid as a rock for his principles and his
friends, and his unanimous selection as
chairman of he county convention was
but another demonstration of the respect
in which he is held by the democrats OF
this county.
