Vandiver of Lafayette.

From the independence sentinel.
Senator vandiver, of Lafayette
county, was in Independence Saturday.
Senator Vandiver was one of the most
influential of the new members of the
state senate during the last session and
will be heard from in Missouri politics
before 1900. He is very large man
and stands so straight that he leans
back. He wears a full beard which is
not yet gray, but is bald headed. his
right sleeve is empty and 1t was as an
officer in the confederate service that
he lost his arm.
Senator Vandiver, among many
other things, introduced one day in the
senate u measure providing penalty
for Missouri men who refused to
marry. This was done after business
had been disposed of, and was never
more than joke. The newspapers,
however, labeled it a good thing and
sent it along. One even had the bill
to pass both houses and be vetoed by
the governor. Senator VandiVer re-
ceived large number of letters on the
subject, and some from indignant
females. One woman in the east took
a practical view of the situation and
argued that as there was a surplus OF
maids and widows In her territory
there ought to be arranged reciprocity
section to the proposed law, and
either send the Missouri bachelors to
Iowa or the Iowa marriageable women
to Missouri. She didn't care which
plan was adopted. Senator Vandiver
don't want to hear any more about
that little pleasantly of his, but it still
follows him relentlessly.
Senator Vandiver made II number of
pleasant acquaintances in the city
Saturday among the old ex-confcderates
and others, and will be a welcome
guest whenever he comes to lnde-
pendence.

The Editors Song.

A country editor IN New York tunes
his Tyre and bursts forth into song
with the following result; "Oh! the
clothes press is swell affair for
garments nice and neat; the hay press
is grand machine and does Its work
complete; the cider press is lovely
with the juices red and sweet, but the
printing press controls the world and
gets there with both feet"

The Correct View.

From the CentraliG Guard.
A newspaper man needs no Sunday
and seldom gets one. His life is
usually so pure and good that he goes
into state or chronic humiliation and
regenerated sanctification that is only
a trifle below that of the angels. When
several other inhabitants of this terres-
trial sphere get out of old Charon's cat
boat on the other shore they will find
several editors fishing along the bank
for mud cats, and the new arrivals will
have to dig bait and spit on the hook.
