Cant " n Snidow mamhar of

Capt. ". D. Snidow, member Of
the Missouri Legislature, failed to show
up when the Legislature was called to
order, but shortly afterwards he made his
appearance in tho legislative halls, with
shoes and trousers covered with mud,
and an ancient gripsack swinging from
his shoulder. He had walked from his
home in Hickory County to Jefferson
City, distance of Ito miles. This pedes-
trian feat was not accomplished with
view to solving the pass problem, but
was the result OF wager with his fusion
opponent that he would be reelected.
The disease which has been prevail
ing among the hogs is still epidemic.
There seems to be no certain remedy for
the trouble, and when it once gets hold
on the premises where there are many
hogs, but few, if any, will escape attack.
Not less than 500 have died in this section
during the past three or four months.
The disease is also epidemic elsewhere.
At Pineville, A. E. Bales Is reported to
have Sustained q loss of more than Is
hogs since the big snoW.-Roch Hill

= For some time past La Sale Barnum,
the nine-year-old son Of DR.. Barnum, of
Manila, Ind, has been addicted to an
excessive use of chewing gum. The habit
brought on appendicitis. DR.. Passon, as
sisted by DIR. Sexton, of Rushville, opera
ted on the child for the relief of the trou-
BILE. Two hours after the operation the
boy died. Tho operation revealed the
fact thai the case had been properly dag
nosed, as the gum was impacted in the
parts in such condition that death would
have resulted in short time.
Everybody kpows how hard it is to
look entirely unconscious If you have
nothing to put in the plate when col
lection is being taken, but it is an i'm
possibility in certain New York church,
where the contribution box used contains
small bell concealed in it, which rings
only when q contribution is made. The
collection is usually taken during the
sermon, and no stingy churchgoer can
fail detection.

The United States Supreme Court has
decided that the South Carolina Dispen-
sary Law is unconstitutional, 30 far as it
prohibits the importation Of liquor into
the State for personal use. This was not
uney pected. as that clause was generally
regarded as weak. What effect this will
have upon the Dispensary remains to be
seen. 1t removes, at least, one of the
chief objections to the law. We have
heard it said that citizen can order his
liquor great deal cheaper than he can
buy it at the Dis3ensary, and at the same
time g+t a better quality. 1t seems to as
that The State having monopoly ought to
be able to sell as cheaply as any one.
The liquor question is difficult to deal
with, but the Dispensary Law is on the
Statute books Of South Carolina, and we
think it is the duty of all good citizens
to help Gov Eller be enforce 1t 50 long as

Sixteen Burned Alive.

DALLs, TEX., Jan. 1G-Fire mpletely
destroyed the Buckner's Orphan Home
near here early this morning. Sixteen
children were cremated and nine injured
three Of them fatally. All of the dead,
except one were buried this evening in
the home cemetery. Rev. Mr.. Buckncr,
manager of the home, officiated. The
home physicians arc in attendance on
the injured. All the farmers in the vicin-
ity tnrned out and assisted in making
collins, digging graves and burying the
victims. There were IL boys and more
than 100 girls in the homo, but all are ac-
counted for.
The fire was discovered about midnight.
Mrs. Britton, the boys matron, had been
in bed some time when she was awaken
ed by the smell Of smoke She jumped
to the floor, but found it so hot that she
could not stand on it, and she immedi-
ately raised the cry OF fire. The attaches
were hastily aroused and sent in all d.
rections to rouse the children. Such was
Mrs. Britton's anxiety for tho safety of
the inmates that she forgot her own
danger and despite her frantic efforts at
rescue they were burned to death.
The fire is believed to have originated
under the room occupied by Mrs. Britton.
Before Mrs. Britton retired for the night,
she had the boys clean out and prepare a
stove situated in the room just under for
the morning fire. She then sent one of
the large boys to seeif the work had been
properly done. He reported everything
all right, but it is believed some live
Goals were scattered on the carpet near
the stove, which ignited and soon spread
to the woodwork. The building was of
wood and the fire communicated to its
various wings with incredible rapidly.
The children were hastily aroused and
hurried out of the building wrapped in
their night clothes and bed quilts. All
were badly frightened and when the
shrieks of those who were being cremated
in the roaring mass of flames reached
their ears they became unmanageable
and were with difficulty prevented from
rushing into the fire in an effort at req
cue. The building was soon destroyed
and at daylight the work of searching the
ruins was taken up. All the children
were accounted for by noon. The home
is 10 miles from Dallas and it would haye
been impossible to get aid outin time had
it been requested. The matter will lie
