something About tho Lexington Murder
Case for Which Ten Farmers Arc
Imprisoned.
Especial to The State.)

Lexington, August 11.-The ten
white men under arrest for being i'm
plicated in the murder of w. p.
Bowers are comfortably esconced IN
the hall over B. II. Corley's restau-
rant and are enjoying something far
better than Jail fare. The history of
the feud between Bowers and his
neighbors, with all the embellish-
ments furnished by friends of both
sides, would read like highly spiced
bit of fiction, but the few grains of
truth sifted by your correspondent
arc all that he feels warranted to
make public.
Seven years ago w. p. Bowers
owned and at the time Of his death
still owned valuable farm. One
particular field which adjoined rich
neighbor, WAS coveted by several per-
sons. Like Ahab, one neighbor
whose name is not known, ardently
coveted the field on the banks of the
creek. No woman's name is men
toned in the case, but some male or
female Jezebel seems to have been
inspired by the evil one, to get rid of
Naboth, (Bowers) and success fol-
lowed his or their diabolical efforts.
There had been burnings of barns
and fences, turning of the channels
of streams, md various little neigh
borly attentions like those mentioned,
Oh both sides. Much could be said,
but your correspondent does not feel
at liberty to make more disclosures
or conjectures now, but the end is
not yet.

Corporal TAFT says that not long

you supply krog- -Jorgensen rifles

IL said, arc on hand ready at any

another OCCASION, Corporal TAFT says,
this message camo from Washington:

thcso messages.
"All the boys arc glad to got out

at Washington have at last concluded
to reopen the postoifice at Lake City
in this county. 1t is not known who
will be postmaster, but as only two
persons applied, and the papers

will get the appointment.
Mrs. McClam is q northern lady,
having been born and reared in An

The Governor has received official

Dr. Adriene Monod, French vice consul
He said to-day that the present trial of
Dreyfus will result in his acquittal If a
verdict of guilty is returned, the court of
cessation. the higher French authority,
will at once set it aside and order an
other court-martial. and so on until he is
acquitted. The court of cessation knows
that French law is being juggled by this
military court, and has two grounds on
which II could set aside such sentence:
First, violation of the law, and second,
abuse of power.
when the court of cessation sent Drew
fus back for second trial he was re-
author of the bordereau. Now, this is the
only thing he could be tried for Instead
of sticking TO this, the court has permitted
witnesses TO talk of his relations with
women and other outside matters which is
directly a violation of French law. If
some matter not connected with the bor-
dereau should come UP in the testimony
proving Dreyfus' guilt. the court of eassa-
ton would have to order a new trial for
the specific purpose"
N. Bureau said II was within the power
Dreyfus innocent. 1t fact, there We're but
two things for the tribunal to do-either
adjudge him not guilty or send him back
for retrial.
VI. Bureau is a lawyer and an intimate
OF the Dreyfus family. He left France
four months ago. and has been travelling

more of Quincy men are investing money

None of the Quincy men who have invest

MANY NEW LAWS IN EFFECT.
All Those Without Emergency Claus
es, Passed by Last Assembly, Be-
came Operatiye Yesterday.

JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 20-(Special }
All of the laws that were enacted by the
last general assembly and that did not
contain emergency clauses went into ef-
feet to-day, this being the ninetieth day
after the adjournment of the general as
sembly. The most important of these laws
to st. Louis and Kansas City are the new
police and election laws. The validity of
these is to be tested in each city. The beer
inspection bill and the department store
bills are of Importance to both cities, but
both of these laws are believed to be I'M
constitutional and will never be enforced,
as they will be tested as soon as the courts
can reach them. The beer inspection bill
is fatally defective through the imperfect
house journal, which, through the neCli-
Sence and incompetency of the house clerks.
does not contain a record of the bill having
