VOLUME xXXv.

The REGISTER respectfully directs
the attention of the Pure-Ballot Repub-
licans of Missouri to the census frauds
in Maryland, whereby the party OF
Moral Ideas hoped to retain control
of the legislature of that erstwhile and
naturally Democratic State. So patent
were these frauds thai the Democratic
Governor, despite the opposition and
abuse of the Mark Hanna organs, call
ed an extra session of the legislature,
which was duly held and the State
saved from the ballot ravishers. One
Joseph FL. Ching has just been convict
ed OF completely in the census frauds,
and the ~penitentiary for some time will
have at least one representative of the
Pure-Ballot party on its roster. Judge
Morris, presiding at the trial of the
Hon. Mr.. Ching, thus sum med up the
evidence:
1t was proved beyond all question
that the schedules made out by them q
month later were made, almost with
u exception, of f~raudulently fictitious
names, abou: 100 in all. Ching's con-
nection with all these false schedules
was proved to have begun when he
procured Supervisor Rollins to send
extra schedules with his instructions
to further complete the work. Ching
at once ad vised the ~enumerators what
class of persons and names they were
to put down on those extra schedules,
hardly one of whom was proper to be
enumerated. Then he urged them to
get in the schedules by the first of Au-
gust, so that they would be sure to be
counted in the total of st. Mary's pop
ulation. He urged Guyther to get the
additional names and advised him just
how he was to do it. Abell's sched-
ules were kept back to the last, and
when Abel, after putting down over
400 names, refused to do more, Ching,
with his own hand, wrote down 20 adj
ditional fraudulent names, in order
that there might be the numbers re-
quired to effect the scheme, namely, to
entitle St. Mary county to an addition
al delegate in the state Legislature.
The REGISTER expects the Poplar
Bluff Republican and the other Pure.
Ballot papers of Missouri, while %rejoic'
ing at this legal v~indication of their
v~irtuous cause, to put on sackcloth and
cover themselves with ashes in token
of the loss OF party honor in Maryland.
That commonwealth lies far from the
bounds of our own beloved Missouri.

From GOOdWater.

Ed. RegiSter-The drouth has not yet
been broken here. Excepting a few
light showers-not sufficient to lay the
dust-no rain has fallen hereabouts
since May 23d. Vegetation of all
kinds is suffering from the lack of rain.
Meadows and oats-felds produced a
very light yield; in fact, in many in
stances, no crop has been, or will be,
harvested herefrom this year.
Wheat has also yielded an unusually
light crop throughout this section.
Though a few fields yielded we'll, most
of them failed to produce satisfactorily.
Corn, which bore the drouth re-
markably well until a few days ago., is
now suffering much; unless we have
ground-soaking raius within a week,
the corn crop throughout this section
will be very light.
1t is feared that the extreme heat
and the dearth of moisture have killed
the grass roots in meadows and pas
lures, and that, in many instances, re-
seeding will become necessary.
A furious wind storm passed over
this locality on the 18th inst.
DR.. Morehead and Mr.. Adam Hen
derson, of Burgundy, were in this
neighborhood on business on the 9TH
inst.
On the 18th inst, James Crocker
left here, to seek employment in ST.
Louis.
On the 14th inst, VIM. B. Alcorn
went to Mallow!s Mill on business.
James. M. Lucas has moved his
stock of merchandise and the Good
waite postoffice into his new store
house at what has hitherto been known
as Crocker's Mill. That point will
doubtlessly be known hereafter as
Goodwater.
During the absence from home of
John Nelson, ST., his house near Red
Point was burglarized and then burned
on the 22d inst. So far as learned by
the writer, 40 definite clue has been
secured as to who committed the crime.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. L. Townsend, of
Belgrade, passed through this section
last week.
Among those who visited relatives
hereabouts during June were Mrs.
Anna Brakefield, of near Brazil, and
Frank Martin and family, of near Mon
tana.
The following-named persons visited
relatives at the points named during
the past month: Mr.. and Mrs. Solo
mon Bays, neal Caledonia; Mr.. and
Mrs. A. NJ. Alcorn, near Tolu, and
VIM. B. Alcorn, near Oates.
Many farmers throughout this sec
ton are much discouraged by the con-
tinuance of the drouth. 1t is by far
the worst drouth we have ever expert
enced during the first half of the year.
Though frequently, during the past
five weeks, we were led to believe that
at last we would be once more blessed
by a ground-soaking rain, we have, so
far, been disappointed and many of US
realize the truth of the saying. "Hope,
deferred, maketh the heart sick"

THE COLD BATH.
Caution Must Be Exercised or Harm
May Result from Indul-
gence in 1t.

The cold bath, whether a plunge
in the tub or the sea, is not for the deli
cate, the or those whose heart
action is weak. In sad emulation of
their more vigorous companions, many
have INDUCED in a cold bath to their
subsequent regret, says the Ledger
Monthly. The enjoyment of a bath
should be the measure of it's benefit.
Some who are hardy enough to ex-
perience the warm glow that follows
quick reaction may derive certain
tonic effects from the dip in cold wa
ter, but when nature hangs out her
danger signals of c~hattering teeth and
purple lips let one beware of repeti.
ton. No good can result, and harm
may.
1t is only by experimenting that one
can ascertain the temperature of a
bath that is most conducive to health
and cleanliness, but having found it
let her not be tempted by the advocate
of the daily cold plunge.
The cold bath, besides having little
or no value as a cleansing agent, cor
sumes more of the vitality in order to
effect reaction. Few persons are IN.
dowed with sufficient physical vigor to
be able to afford so needless an ex.
penditure of vital force. The hot bath
is just as stimulating as the cold one,
although it is not generally so con.
ceded. Cold baths have been found of
value as remedial measures in fevers
and kindred illness, but as a rule they
should not be taken except under med
ical supervision, ever by the young and
vigorous.

IN THE WORLD OF FASHION.
some of the Pretty Fancies That Go
to Make Up the Seasons
Costumes.

The latest fad is to fasten the belt
on one side, directly under one arm,
sometimes with a buckle, sometimes
6notted with ends, again with rib
oons finished with dangling pendants,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
An applique of white batiste flow
ers is seen on some cloth and sheer
fabric gowns. In garland form this
trimming is very effective.
A cluster of turquoises or a band
of enamel embellishes some of the
gold buckles which are furnished at
present for neckwear, but the plain
gold buckle is the leader. Buckles of
white or smoked pearl are also worn
and black enamel with a touch of
gold.
The new sweater for goInng is cut
low in the neck like the golf vest and
Is lapelless. The pattern is a striped
n in brilliant red or green and the
buttons down the front are of gold,
~ornamented with crossed golf sticks
of green enamel.
The regulation sweater, with high,
~turned-over collar and cuffs, remains
a ~favorite, and, in fact, is too com-
Portable a garment to be easily dis
placed. An opening at the shoulder
is the touch of novelty observed in
the newest designs.
Golf belts are of leather, with
leather buckles and sometimes stud
ded with nails. Ooze leather belts
are very stylish and are shaped some
what wider at the back than in 'front.'.
Soft light hats, fastened into odd
yet picturesque shape, are admirably
set off with large rosettes of soft lib
erty satin ribbon, showing a jet buck
lie in the center of the bows.
Crepe de chine of exceeding fine
ness and embroidered in dull pail
~lettes, is one of the seasons fabrics
that has met with much favor, but is
very costly.
Embroidered canvas as a substitute
for lace appears IN some new and
very handsome gowns. The finest
silk canvas, deep yellow in color, is
employed for this purpose and it is
cut out in medallions and scrolls,
beautifully embroidered with designs
of silk lace.
White lace with an applique of
pompadour roses down the center
makes a beautiful trimming for hand
some street gowns.
The fashion of wearing a bracelet
of black velvet ribbon is being revised
in Paris. The ribbon is fastened with
a gold or jeweled clasp or simply tied
in a fetching little bow.
Sequin robes are more elaborate
this season than ever before.
Yokes of point d'esprit threaded
with velvet baby ribbon are useful
for Transforming evening gowns into
ones suitable for less formal occa-
Sions.
Colored pongee, in the most deli.
cate blue and pink tones, represents
one of the novelties of the season
and is very desirable for fancy
blouses or entire gowns.
Plain colored gauze draped over
glace silk in floral design gives the eff
| feet of a hand-painted gown. A
Partisan model recently imported
was of white gauze over silk showing
rose design on white background
The yolk and belt were of the silk
