A country editor who first studied
base ball rules when a Sunday school
boy, gives utterance TO the following
~antiquated comments upon the national
game: "The devil was the first coacher.
Eve stole first Adam stole second.
When Isaac met Rebecca at the we'll,
she was walking with a pitcher.
Sampson struck out a good many when
he beat the Philistines. Moses made
his first u when he slew the Egyp-
tians. Cain made a base hit when he
killed Abel. Abraham made a sacri-
flee. The prodigal son made a home
run. David was a long distance
thrower, and Moses shut out the Egyp-
tians at the Red Sea-"
A license was granted by the County
court to-day, Friday, to A. P. Farris to
conduct a saloon at Rose Hill, a small
town at the terminus of the Missouri
Southern R. R., and eight miles west
of Centreville. This is the first saloon
license that has been granted in our
county for Is or 16 years. The petit
ton asking for the issuance of the
license contained over two-thirds of
the resident tax payers Of that, Jackson
township, and the court could not do
otherwise than grant the license for
six months. He was assessed $500 for
the license and vas required to give
bond in the sun of $4,000 which he
did. with w. H. Carter, u. G. Smith
and James Mooney as securities. -Rey-

John Swaringim of Hogan and his
bride were in the caboose Of the
freight train which was struck by the
north-bound passenger train just north
of Des Arc on Monday of last week.
The caboose was turned over and badly
wrecked and Swaringim and his bride
experienced no little Inconvenience,
and though they escaped serious in
jury were quite badly bruised. The
next day the claim agent for the rail-
road company happened along and the
payment of $40 got Swaringim to sign
a release from all further claim for
damages. The claim agent thought
he had done a good days work and
vas we'll pleased while Swarlngim
claims it was the easiest $40 he aver
made in his life. So everybody is
pleased and happy.
81 have stood at the bedside of
hundreds of dying people," said an
old physician at Topeka yesterday,
land have yet to see a dying person
shed a tear. No matter what the
grief Of the %bystanders may be,
the stricken person will show no signs
OF overpowering emotion. have seen
a circle of agonized children around a
dying mother-a mother who in health
would have been touched to the quick
by signs of grief in a child-yet she
reposed as calm and Unconditional as
though she had been made of stone.
There is some strange and inexplicable
psychological change which accom-
panies the act of dissolution. 1t is we'll
known to all physicians that pains
disappears as the end approaches.
And nature seems to have arranged it
so that mental peace shall also attend
Jul last lingering moments"
j. w. Craven, who at one time was
cashier of the bank here but who is
now selling groceries in the country
west Of here, about ten days ago
bought a horse from James M. Logan
in Belleview. He took the animal to
Salem where a livery man offered him
$175 for the horse provided he would
''match" another horse the livery man
had. The horses were tried together
and made a good match team. The
livery man went in his office to write
a check for the amount and Craven
went with him. While they were gone
Craven's horse in some way got away
and from that day-a week ago-until
this there has been no trace OF the
missing animal. As $175 was a fair
price for the horse Walter thinks he
was in pretty hard luck to lose him
just at the moment the trade was
made. We think 30, too.
Judge Fox in chambers in this city
last Friday heard arguments in an in
junction proceeding brought by the
St. Louis and Memphis Railroad to
prevent the Southern Missouri Rail-
road from crossing its track in st.
GeneveiYe county. 1t seems the
Southern Missouri had their right-of-
way cleared off and were laying track;
one night the St. Louis and Memphis
laid their track across the right.of-
way Of the Southern Missouri; when
the track layers of the Southern Mis-
souri, arrived at that point they found
a road built across their r%ight-of-way
and the Memphis people with a large
force OF men on hand to prevent them
from crossing; the Southern Missouri
cleared their right-of-way with dyna-
mite and the sheriff of the county had
to quell the disturbance. The law
was then resorted to by the St. Louis
and Memphis road. After the case
had been heard by Judge Fox, he
gave the attorneys for both roads, to
understand that he was very weary Of
