The st. Louis Republic in making
notes Of happenings Of 25 years ago
tells ola Democratic meeting in the
old 7th ward presided over by Silas
W. Dooley and addressed by Martin
L. Clardy and Joshua LaDue, Of
Henry county. Mr.. Clardy is general
attorney for the Mo. Psc. Ry. Col.
LaDue is dead; Col. Dooley is q prac-
ting attorney at our bar.
We are requested to announce that
Hon. Jas. A. Reed will speak at
Hume on Saturday, October oath.
Mayor Reed is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. He ia one OF Missouri's most
brilliant orators and strong men.
He has many friends in this county
who are giving him loyal support.
We have no doubt the people of that
section will give him hearty recep-
tion. They should all turn out and
give him respectful hearing whether
they are for him or not.
The earth quake shock at Nevada
appears to have been about on the
same basis as the Gartrell grave rob-
berry at this place, accounts Of which
have been running in the st. Louis
Republic for several days. II the
metropolitan papers require manu-
featured sensational stuff. we sup.
pose this kind is about as harmless
as any a Economically inclined cor
respondent could originate. The
Mail says there is nothing in the
earthquake shock at Nevada. II
anybody had desired the Gartrell
body, they would probably have met
with slight objection, as his relatives
showed an utter disregard and indli-
ference as to its final disposition.
Captain W. C. Bronaugh was in
the city Sunday and Monday, meet
ing his old friends. Captain Bron.
augh will be a candidate for Railroad
Commissioner. He made very
creditable race at the last state con-
vention held at st. Joseph for that
Office. Captain Bronaugh has writ
ten a book which is now in the hands
of the publishers, giving an account
OF his quarter of century fight to
have the Younger boys pardoned
from the Saltwater, Mimi, peniten-
tiary. 1t will contain several hun
dred pages and detail many facts OF
which the public is in ignorance. In
his fight extending over these long
years Capt. Bronaugh was brought
into contact with nearly every promi.
nent man in the whole country.
A. L. Mcbride recently traded his
residence property in this city to E..
Bennett for his fine farm OF two hun
dred acres, six miles southwest OF
Butler. This place is under a high
state Of cultivation and improve.
ment, and will make q fine invest
ment. This is very excellent trade
for each OF these gentlemen, and II
will make Mr.. Bennett an elegant
home, and inasmuch as Mr.. Mcbride
expects to sever his connections with
the Farmers Bank the first of the
year and move from Butler, he could
not afiord to leave a. valuable q
property behind to be rented. Each
party gives possession Of their respec.
tive properties March first next.
