Love Feast.
The big Democratic State tunven
ton at st. .loselh this week was q
sad disappointment to republicans,
Their papers, backed up by their
allies, the mugwump and independ-
ent sheets, have been prophesyingull
kinds of trouble and discard. In
stead it turned out not only one OF
the most harmonious democratic
state conventions held in years past,
but democratic rally and love
feast. A few sore-h heads, headed by
Frank Walsh, of Kansas City, tried
to ferment trouble on Monday even
ing. They hired an opera house and
a brass band, and Walsh threshed
over a lot of old republican chaff to
a goou natured crowd, most ofwhom
were there ont of curiosity and not
in sympathy with the purpose of the
meeting. The next day when Walsh S
name was brought before the fifth
district caucus FORE election as COM
mitteeman. he received only five
votes out of forty seven, a most dis
astrous and overwhelming defeat.
This had such n salutary effect upon
the obstreperous member that when
the resolutions committee reported
the platform Walsh seconded the
IN otion made for its adoption, and
thus ended the hopes Of republicans
for democratic discord. DR.. ID. H.
Shields OF Hannibal, was named by
the state committee for temporary
chairman.

E. E. McJimsey, editor of the
Maryville, (Mo., J Tribune. was chair
man of the recent republican state
convention at Jefferson City. 1t is
not often, says the Clinton Demo-
crat, that McJimsey tells the truth,
but he did on one occasion when in
vited to address the republicans at
Topeka, Kansas, about year ago.
In that speech MIR. McJimsey said in
substance: Every year we make a
good deal of noise over in Missouri,
and claim the republicans are going
to carry the state. But YOU have
noticed that when the votes are
counted, We don't carry the state,
but are everlastingly showed under.
We do all the talking necessary, but
YOU see blow and bluster don't scare
theaverage Missouri Democrat worth
a cent. I'm awfully disgusted when
| hear our republican friends talk be-
fore election about carrying Missouri,
and the returns come mas they al
ways do-showing republicans have
lost out in every part-of the state.
But still we have republicans who
keep on talking about carrying Mis-
souri,, but it don't fool anybody un-
Jess it is some republicans living in

Shot From Ambush.

Hopkiusville. Ky, July 2O.-Frank
White, a wealthy planter, residing
south of here, was returning home
from a picnic across in Tennessee, in
a buggy with his brother, John
White. last night, when be was shot
in the side and fatally wounded. He
lived only a few minutes after being
laid ON the ground. The verdict OF
the coroner's Jury was that he came
to his death by shot fired by some
unknown person. He had for years
been ont OF the parties to a bitter
neighborhood feud,
John White, who is said to have
been drinking, claimed his brother
was fred upon from ambush and
that he made an effort to kill John
Knight, a boy whom he accused OF
the crime. Knight established an
abb. The dead mans coat was
burned by powder, and the ball en-
tered his left side, ranging upward
throu Oh the heart. 1t is believed by
some that John White accidentally
killed his brother.

Mr.. Morton's estimate was made

reports given him by agents of the
company in nearly every corn-bear-

Easily Done.

TO be a successful mind reader, one
must have a good memory, and by its
aid some apparently wonderful things
are done. one Of the puzzling tricks
performed by public 'c.airvoyants" is a
very simple deception. The performer,
standing on the stage, asks several per-
sons in the audience to write each q
sentence on slip OF paper and seal it
in an envelope. or course the station
cry is furnished and af ,erward collect
ed. One of the audience is u confeder-
ate, and writes a sentence agreed upon
beforehand. When the assistant goes
through the house gathering UP the en-
velOpes, the confederate's contribution
IL taken up with the others. aud all to-
gether are taken to the stage. The per-
formre picks out any envelope, and.
after feeling it. with much ceremony
pronounces the sentence agreed up n,
and the confederate in the audience ac-
knowledges that he wrote it. TO con-
firm this, the performer tears the en-
velope he has taken up. and repeats the
sentence as though he found 1t on the
inclosed paper, which is in reality an
other mans sentence, which he reads,
and then picking up another envelope
and fumbling 1t over, he calls out the
sentence he has just read. The one
who wrote 1t says 1t Ia right, the per-
former tears open the envelope, reads
what is in 1t, and proceeds in that way
through the lot.

Feeding Skim Milk.

There Is no doubt that skim milk
will bring the greatest returns when
fed to laying hens. provided one can
get twenty cents or more dozen for
winter eggs. and If one has but few
hogs and many hens the latter should
have the skim milk by all means. On
the other hand, 1t may be fed to hogs
with profit. and if fed with corn meal
will easily be worth twenty cents a
hundredweight. The trouble Is that
not one feeder in hundred feeds skim
milk properly. 1t usually goes into the
trough at any time when convenient
ana is often mixed with other slop that
Is not so clean, and 1t is made to take
the place Of grain to some extent.
