Mrs. BriertOn has been a citizen of
this place for twenty-five years and
reared a family of sons and daughters
who to-day give honor to her for her
unceasing labors to rear them after
her own Hfe-religiOus, honest and

Notwithstanding the late spring and
inclement weather many property own
ers and renters are painting. papering
and making their homes and places of
business fresh and new. Most, howev-
er, is being done by the parties who
rent. Never on this side of the earth
did any one ever see the owners of
property so misery stingy as those
who rent property here. They never
fail to hang around like hungry hounds
on the day the rent is due, but not
cent will they pay for repairing or
painting. If it is done it must be done
at the expense OF the occupant and pay
up rent to the minute in full each
month and should even a widow wOm-
an give notice of vacating her premis-
es the beer bloated landlord will ap-
pear in hostile outfit and read a ''get

DAVID BENNETT HILL announces that
he is greatly rejoiced at the victories
achieved by the Democratic party
throughout the land in the recent cleo
tions. Perhaps the Senator from New
York is not aware of what has hap
pened to him. The decapitated frog
is dead Notwithstanding the spasmodic
twitching of his muscles when the gal
yanic battery is applied. Mr.. Hill is
unlike the frog in one particular; no
amount of galvauism will ever restore
him to the semblance of life in the
Democratic party. His rejoicing at
Democratic defeat last fall or DemOcra-
tic victory this spring will avail him
little. His assertion that he is a Dem
ocrat, be it repeated never so often, de-
ceives no one, for he was not enough
of Democrat to support the party's
ticket in its hour of storm and stress.
Mr.. Hill may as well go over to the
Republican party at once. He belongs
there. He is opposed to every tenet
of Democracy. The rank and file will
not follow his lead. He can poll no
larger vote than did Palmer and Buck
ner. The Democratic party is now
well rid of the Hills, the Clevelands
and the Vilases, and if its usefulness
is to continue it will keep them outside
the breastworks.

THE Missouri patriots are still liv-
ing on promises. but, at the same time,
growing very impatient at the delay OF
the President in dealing out the offices.
Unless something is given to Missouri
very quickly the howl is going to be
loud and prolonged.

APPOINTMENTS were made last week
to a couple of post Offices in Southeast
Missouri-at Bonnie Terre and st. Ma
rvs. A straight-out Republican was
appointed in both instances. The
present incumbent at Bonnie Terre, b.
A. Roy. is a cuckoo of all the cuckoos,
who deserted the Democratic ticket
last fall. This gave him no favor In
Mr.. McKinley's eyes, however. it
seems. Good for the Major. He is
afraid to trust the traitors.

Perhaps it should not be breathed
aloud. but the fact is his honor. Mayor
Redington is a full fledged detective. and
therefore must be. eX-officio, chief of de-
tectives for this city. His last case was
the following which will be of interest:
Yesterday a man who keeps a second
hand store in this city. entered the may
orr office as that official was trying con-
illusions with a corncob pipe and the fol-
lowing conversation enSued.

wondering if he had got to go out into
