SOME MORE SCRIPTURE.

EDITOR NEWS: would like to
call the attention of the mono. metal
maniac gold worshipers to the xxxii
chapter of Exodus:
"And the Lord said unto Moses.
Go, get thee down, for thy people,
which thou broughtest out of the
land of Egypt, have corrupted
themselves.
"They have turned aside quickly
out of the way which / commanded
them and they have made them
golden calf and have worshipped
it,"
"And the Lord said unto Moses,
Il have seen this people, and behold
il is n stiffnecked people.
"Now, therefore, let me alone.
that may make it hot for them and
that may consume them
"And the Lord plagued the people
because they made the calf"
The men who are boarding up
gold and destroying silver will
eventually meet the fate of those
stiffnecked idolaters spoken of in
the scripture. Gold is the miser's
money. Silver is the money of the
people and it is only question of
time when the people will rule and
silver will be the standard.
l am afraid Naylor has "flunked,'
but the Lord is evidently on the
side of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.

The Tub Rustler's Story.

The tub rustler leaned over the
edge of the tub, while the ground
boss had gone out on top, says the
Joplin News, and thought the best
way to kill time would be TO tell
story, which the spade hands were
eager to hear. He said: Me and
my girl, Minnie F., who had n twin
sister, called Little Jewel took
stroll one day. She said she wanted
to see 'Nicholasville,' but told her
that IL was only suburb of Chi
cago' and then she changed her
mind and we started for Portland
but they switched us off and we
landed at Burlington which
George said was a Daisy We met
Ben (ham) there and he invited us
to He'll Upon EARTH, but they
keep things so hot there that we
had to stand under a Locust, and
while watching the twinkling of a
Lone Star we were approached by
Madeline Pollard who agreed with
us that the story about robbing the
Birds Nest was no Chestnut We
were joined by Helen Gould and
the 'Koohinour' she wore was big
enough to dazzle all the Eyes in
Leadville. l got somewhat ratified
when my girl said, Il Hope You
Know enough not to use such
words as Damfino' when asked If
the Lucky Five is as big as the
Big Eighth When we got to
South Joplin we proceeded to
inspect the Top Run of ore, which
Alma claims is better than the
lower, but they insisted that
'Bolin's' Birthday was coming
soon and we decided to wait aud
have some Porter along with
'StillwelP before going to Rex.
Here we met Harrison and James,
who said that Atwood was wearing
Rosebud and playing a Lone
Hand against an Arkansas Belle,
who held Lone Jack and that
both were beneath a White Oak
not far from Columbus While
we were watching them Reed came
in from Midway and at the 'Elev-
enth Hour busted up the game.
We were then invited to Dueneweg
where we lunched, but my girl com.

coffee, and caught 'Staley' winking
at her, when we left, arriving at
North Heights to gather May.
flower But at this juncture the
ground boss showed up at the
mouth of the drift, and the tub
rustler started his car toward the
shaft and with smile said "gee
whiz" and was off.

MOURNS HIS ILL LUCK.

The editor of the Cherokee Senti-
mel is another one of those individ-
uals whose hindsight is better than
his foresight. He says: "There is
great excitement at Galena over the
big strikes of mineral just north of
Empire City. Four years ago we
were offered the lease on this forty
acres aud we sent for a. n. Chadsey
of this city to come down and look
the ground over. He came aud
after day in the woods we con-
cluded TO not take il. There was no
mining on this ground till last fall
when two gentlemen leased it and
went down in an old mine where we
had examined the dirt which had
been thrown out in the early days.
They cleaned il out and only went
three feet deeper when they came
onto solid bed of ore. The entire
tract of forty acres seems to be a
body of ore, and there is great
excitement. The lease is now con-
sidered TO be worth 100000.

WHAT A MESSl

There are lot of low-down,
white-livered, pusillanimous, vii
lainous, God and morality on the
outside and devil-serving ours at
heart, who are all the time blowing
about temperance and prohibition
and slurring the officers because
the prohibitory law is not enforced
If this puck of human wolves will
furnish the proper affidavits we
will guarantee that the law will be
enforced, but they are as cowardly
as wolf in the daytime. They
howl through their pusillanimous
publications. We know some of
these human jackals who are in
the newspaper business.-Weir

Preliminary Survey.

Major Tanning, chief engineer of
the Arkansas and Northwestern
Railway Company, was in town on
Monday with two assistants, en-
route to Baxter Springs. They are
running preliminary survey from
Southwest City TO Baxter Springs,
via Spiitlog and Miami, and will
probably be engaged all of the
week in that work. On their return
they will run line by way of Fair
land, crossing Grand river at Har-
lan's Ferry, in order to compare the
routes.
The bill for right of way through
the territory has passed congress,
is now awaiting the presidents
signature and will be signed in due
time. The road is sure to go right
through now that the company is
doubly sure that clear title to the
right of way is in sigut. Within
few days after the preliminary sur
vey is completed and the report
made, the line will be ready for
final survcy.-Southwest City (Mo)

TIRED OE LIFE.

The following from the Galena
Daily Post of Monday, Feb. "A. tells
of the suicide of George Abbott, a
brother of the late Capt. Joseph ii.
Abbott:
This morning about $50 o'clock
the people of East Galena were
startled by the report of pistol,
and u crowd rushed to the home of
George Abbott, where the shot was
fired, and found the above named
gentleman lying in pool of blood
which was issuing from hole in
the right temple, produced by 49,
calibre pistol ball. and the weapon
was lying by his side.
The facts in the case as far as can
be CLEANED are as follows: Mr..
Abbott came from Pittsburg this
morning on the early Memphis
train, having visited relatives
there and at Fort Scott the past
week. 1t appears that he stepped
up on the porch at his home, set
down his valise and deliberately
shot himself through the head.
a letter was found in his pocket
stating that no one was too blame
for his death, and that his brother,
Ben Abbott, of Scammon. would
look after his burial and insurance
money.
Geo. Abbott was an old and
respected citizen, was formerly
clerk in the dry goods store of Jno.
NJ. Cooper & Co., and afterward was
in the grocery business with ]. A.
Byrd in this city. He was a
member of the X. of p, Modern
Woodmcn of America, y. o. U. W.
and Select Knights lodges.
He was the father of two
daughters, both of whom are
married, one being Mrs. Z. c.
Nicholson of Pitisburg and the
other, Mrs. X. b. Eddy of this city.
Mrs. Abbott, wife of the deceased,
was just across the street nursing
her daughter, Mrs. Il. b. Eddy, who
is i'll, when the fatal shot was fired
and rushed over in time 10 see her
husband breathing his last.
Funeral services were held
Wednesday and the remains
Inferred in the Galena cemetery.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited fol
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid. exhausted
feeling prevails. when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alternative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi-
cine will act more surely in counteractins
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache. indigestion, constipa-
tion. dizziness. yield to Electric Bitters.
