jefferson City, Mo, Jan. 16.-The
democratic caucus, called to nomi-

NJ. Cockrell, developed into an old
time democratic love feast. Speeches
not on the program were made on
the spur of the moment, members
who had no thought Of voicing their
sentiments except by vote, rose to
express their reverence for the man
who had faithfully served the people
OF Missouri for tweuty-four years,
and the reno mlustion of Senator
Cockrell was c'inched with an out
burst of enthusiasm as pleasing as
it was unexpected
For the republicans, Richard G
Kearnes was houored with their
nomination for the senate to succeed
Senator CockrelI. The opposition
TO Colonel Kerens fell to the ground
at the last moment, and, though a
candidate was named in opposition
to Colonel Kerens, his name was
later withdrawn and the nomination

Aom 1854 to 1858, and was buried
shsre during the civil war by John
Eoung, who lived on the place at

Fisher and few others who tried
10 rob him. He died without dis
slosing the hiding place of the
money. Nothing more was known
D the hidden treasure until few
pears ago, when Mr.. Ohmsrt found
syme money and paid off the morG
gage on his farm. Subsequently

thousands of scholars, orators pub
