Baseball at ZaIma.

The zalma boys played game
of baseball Sunday evening with
the Trade Centers, composed of
players from Lutesvllle, Marble
Hill and Latin. The game moved
on nicely till the eighth inning, when
the score was "a to "a. The Trade
Centers made one in the ninth in
ming and when the Zalma's went to
bat they succeeded in getting two
men on bases with only one man
out, so the umpire for the Trade
Centers, seeing his men were sure
of defeat, simply called the batter
out, who was running to first base,
which was very close, and also at
the same time called the base run
ner out at third base, when the
base runner had been safe on third
some time before the ball reached
the third base, as was witnessed by
several hundred people.
The Zalma boys say, with the
exception of four or five players,
the Trade Centers and their UNI
pire acted unfairly in the game,
and the boys are not alone, either,
for nearly every person present
saw just what kind of decisions their
umpire made. Their umpire and
players sneaked out of town like a
lot of frauds. They were actually
ashamed of the way they had done.
The Zalma boys will play the
Trade Centers' same team on the
Zalma grounds on Sunday, October
3, for purse of $50, and they will
secure the services of one dlsintcr-
ested, honorable, upright and hon
est white man to umpire the game
for both sides. But if the purses of
their players are as slim as the prin-
ciple of their umpire they could not
make up their part of purse of 30
cents. We want it understood that
not only our players say their UNI
pire acted badly, but all the people
who were present-composed of
citizens from our county, Stoddard,
Wayne, Dunklin and Cape counties
say the same; that he acted very
unfairly in the game.

Convicted.

Murder will out Luetgert, the
Chicago sausage maker, is finding
this old saw to be true in his case,
says the Chattanooga Times. He
murdered his wife. He left "no
trace of blood" He came within a
little of leaving nothing else, what
with his deviishly ingenious con
trlvance Of that terrible chemical
desintegrant, caustic soda. But
the fend-as fends always do
forgot a little detail. He left the
rings on his victims fingers, and
caustic soda will not "eat up" gold.
The rings are found in the vat
where the body was thrown into
its bath, and they are positively
identified by several witnesses.
And now it is announced that the
fierce agent employed to efface
woman's body, in a night. refused
to do its work TO absolute perfec-
ton. 1t did not find and reduce to
unrecognizable pulp or powder
scrap Of forefnger bone and a bit
of skull, both of which, the experts
say, are human remains. This
makes the chain complete. The
woman disappeared one night and
has never been seen since. Her
husband and she were known to
have been, in the evening, in the
vicinity OF vat which he had charg-
ed with caustic soda, on the morn
ing before. Her trinkets are found
in the bottom Of the vat, among the
grewsome sediment, and if human
remains were found in the same
place they must be remnants of her
body. The conclusion is unavoid-
able, and conviction of the murder
or inevitable. The coil of the rope
of justice has been wound about the
criminal and made his escape inn
possible.
We may say he has really put
the moose about his own neck.

Thoughtful Observation.

All human beings need instruction,
counsel, guidance in a greater or
less degree. No one person knows
or can know everything.
Stumbling blocks seem to be plen'
ty everywhere. Stumbling blocks
for the children, stumbling blocks
for the young people and stumbling
blocks for the old people.
The man who rises no higherthan
the will of the people for his moral
guidance will fall far below what he
should be. The heroes of the world
are the men who have sworn fealtv
to God in all things.
No human life is large enough
not to be small in spots. It's large
ly a question as to where the pinch
will come, as to the locality of the
nervousness. Intolerance IS with
most an intermittent kind of thing,
springlng to manifestation, if not
into being, very unexpectedly.
Rejoice! Be glad! BE cheerful! Of
merry countenance, of a smiling
face. BE Of good oourage--never
somber, sad, or gloomy. Your rbusi-
ness is to bless; vour mission ls to
bind up the broken hearted; to lift
up the fallen; To inspire and encour.
age the despondent and fainting.
Persons who can most readily un.
derstand how they might have be-
come M intelligent, cultured md
noble as Others who have been born
IN loflicr stations, are often totally
unable to understand how, had they
been born In the slams, they could
have become like the vice and dcgra.
dation by which they would have
been surrounded.

state police called the rangers,
mostly farmers, who have police
powers. The republic Of Mexico
has a national organization called
rurals. They are farmers and
ranchmen, except in the small

A NUMBER Of our exchanges are
following the Post Dispatch in its
war on Gov. Stephens on account
Of his appointment of Hugh Brady
as election commissioner at ST..

Post Dispatch is too doubtful, we

say to influence Gov. Stephens.
Our governor is remarkably level

thorough democrat, and we are
ready to guarantee that he has
made no appointment unadvisedly.

A Deserved Compliment.

The st. Joseph Gazette pays a
high tribute to Gov. Stephens for
the prompt and effective measures
he took to sustain the credit of the
state. 1t says:
-The people of Missouri have
every reason to feel grateful to
Gov. Stephens for saving the credit
Of the state. His ability as a finan'
cier was recognized even before
he assumed the responsible duties
of state treasurer and during his in
cumbency Of that office the duties of
which, in a time ofperil, he discharg-
cd with marked ability and greatly
70 the benefit of the commonwealth.
When the last legislature failed to
provide for the current expenses of
the state it left the administration
to face probable deficit, and for
a time it looked as though the
credit Of Missouri might be placed
in jeopardy. Gov. Stephens grasp
cd the situation and lost nota minute
in preparing TO meet the emergency
and to avoid any unpleasantness.
His faculty and training stood him
in good stead, and, having laid his
plans, he promptly put them into
execution. Now he is both proud
and happy to announce that every
dollar OF current expense will be
promptly paid, and that 1t will not
bo necessary for him to call an
extra session of the legislature to
provide for deficit. The taxpay-
ora are not only saved the expense
ofan extra session but they are
spared the annoyance of having tho
financial credit Of the state qnes'
,loned. II isa great achievement
on the part Of Gov. Stephens and
the tlaxettc voices tho sentiment oi
northwest Missouri In congratula'
,Inr aad doing him deserved honor
