DisgruntIed Republicans.

Carthage, Mo-, May 16.-There is
much suppressed dissatisfaction
among the Republicans of this vi.
cinity over the financial plank OF the
platform adopted at the st. Joseph
convention. Many declare that il
this is forecast of what the St.
LOUIS convention will have to say on
the financial question, they will vote
for Bland, and in case he is not nom
mated, they will support the nomi
nee of the silver party.
The Evening Press, a local repub
can organ which carries the motto,
"Bimetalism and Protection at its
masthead, denounces the ST Joseph
utterances as un republican and de
clares that Judge Burton, the repub
lican candidate for Congress in this
district, who was nominated on G
platform declaring for the free coin

yer, will have to repudiate the Stat,

tloated to the river and were never
recovered. The ford is very steep and
swift, with feet fall in 40 feet. 1t
has four branches, each one from :
to s miles long and all connect before
reaching the crossing, SO that when
the river raises it backs up to the
ford, making it dangerous. During
the heavy rains last year, the ford
was not passable for Is DAYS.

When brother Austin, of the Re
cord, went to the republican state
convention at st. Joseph last week
it was hard for him to tell which Of
the two, Chauncey l. Filley or shot
hole through his hat Webster Da
Wis, he thought the most OF. He is
thoroughly convinced now that
Webster ID. has too much mouth
and too little brains, and that the
aforesaid Webster murdered his
chances as a gubernatorial prospect
when, in his speech nominating A.
p. A. Jones as delegate at large to
the st. Louis convention. he bitterly
assailed the character and political
standing of Maj. Warner. Said Mr..
Austin, "Webster Davis made com
plete fool of himself before the con
vention and effectually knocked out
his chances as a prospective candi
! date before the Springfield conven,
ton" The sum and substance of the
matter is, Webster Davis ia pulled
up nothing, gigantic fraud with a
hole in his face two sizes too large
for his mental calibre."

A tragedy of unusual order occur
red near Ozark, Mo, Tuesday. Mrs.
John Edmonds was watching by the
cradle of sick child near an open
fire place, when the tired mother,
worn out with anxiety and loss of
sleep, fell into doze. The woman
was aroused by the cries of other
members of the family and found
the cradle of the little one ablaze
and her own clothes on fire. When
the flames had been extinguished a
charred corpse was found in the
cradle.-Stockton journal.
Warrensburg. Mo, May 13.-Jerry
Gallivan, a farmer living south OF
the city, went to his pantry to get a
cup. He put his hand inside and
was severely bitten by snake,
which had gained entrance in some
way. He mounted horse and rode
to Warrensburg, but by the time be
reached here his arm was swollen to
the shoulder. The snake bite was
dressed by local physician, and
MIR. Gallivan will probably recover.
1t is not known what kind of snake
it was.

HE SAW A GHOST
John Laws had "A Peculiar Experience in
County Jail.

John Laws is a colored prisoner in
the county Jail. He was incercerated
there for some immoral tendencies that
developed in him at an evil hour. He
was not wealthy enough so that ne
could afford to be immoral and hence
he is in Jail waiting for some one TO
bail him out. John believes in ghosts
about as strong as Jerry Simpson be-
lieves in fiat money and he is quite
sure the spirits of those unfortunates
who wereF hung in the prison walk
about the corridors at night. Night be-
fore last the Sheriff thought there was
an attempted Jail break. He was sleep
ing in the residence part of the iail
when he heard the most unearthly yells
and screaming and he Immediately
jumped out of bed and down stairs TO
ascertain the trouble. John Laws wa
crOuching in his cell sweating ink and
his two big white eyes were all that the
sheriff could see. He could not talk for
several minutes but finally he regained
the use OF his tongue and told the sheriff
his story. To be brief about it he said
that he was lying on his cot in the
rotary unable to sleep and was looking
out at the darkness in the corridor
~hen all at once a ghost swung himself
on the top of the rotary. The ghost
