MoURNs A PARENT.
Mrs. G. Z. Dingle Informed Of Her
Mothers Death at her Home
in Mexico, Mo.

From the Maryland (Cal) Democrat of July %
Mrs. G. e. Dingle received a tele.
gram this morning containing the an
nouncement of the death Of her
mother, Mrs. Louisa Sims.
The sad event occurred in Mexico,
Missouri. The particulars of her last
illness are not at hand, but is known
that she had q very severe attack OF
the grip three years ago, from the ef'
fects Of which she never fully recov-
cred. The deceased was a native Of
Kentucky. She came of a distinguish
ed family. Her mother was a niece Of
John Marshall, illustrious jurist and
for a long time chief justice Of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Her father removed to Missouri when
she was but an infant, and that state
was ever aftsrward her home until
she died at the ripe old age of II.
We roget that the news came toe
late for us to obtain data sufficient to
enable us to write such an obituary as
this good woman deserved, All that
we can state at this time is that she
was the mother of six daughters and
three sons, all of whom are living, ex.
cept one daughter, who died about q
years ago.
From those who knew her personal
ly and intimately w have the assur'
ance that Mrs. Sims was a genial, ap-
probable Christian woman, whose
life was full of good deeds and who
found true happiness in making Others
happy.
She discharged the duties and obll-
cations OF wife and mother so faith
fully and well that she filed her home
with sunshine, and she was such
a devoted and loyal friend that those
who knew her tenderly and truly
cherish her memory.
II death was an unwelcome visitor
to those who stood around her bedside
In the hour of dissolution, how can we
measure the sorrow Of her who was de-
MED the blessed privilege of being
present when the spirit Of mother was
pluming itself for fight to the Land
Of the Leal?
The profoundest sorrow Of the en-
tire communitygoes out tu Mrs. Dlngle
in the hour of her great bereavement.

CIRCUIT D HAZEL.
Makes a Strong Charge to the Grand
Jury in Session at Jefferson City
to Investigate Boodlers.

Circuit Judge HAZEL In charging
the grand jury just called together at
Jefferson City for the purpose of in
vestigating b~oodlers, makes the fol-
lowing impressive statement:
From rumors, the investigation In
the Legislature grew into tangible
facts; confessions and other evidence
followed in the courts, till those who
opposed the investigation ceased their
opposition, and the whole State stood
as a unit in avenging the disgrace she
had suffered at the hands OF a band Of
organized criminals at jefferson
City.
"At the last special session the brib-
ers and the bribed were comparatively
secure, under a perfect organization
first, to carry out their nefarious
schemes to rob the State in the inter-
est Of the great corporations, and af-
forwards to protect each other from
prosecution and the Penitentiary.n
1.-THE people Of the State Of Missouri
are as intelligent and honest as the
people OF any state In the Union.
When a large number of the Legisla-
tive Assembly organize in the interest
of gigantic corporations it does not
mean that the sturdy masses Of this
great Commonwealth have lost their
moral stamina which must exist In a
free country; but it docs emphasize
the truth that eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty.
1.-THE State Of Missouri has been
held up to scorn and has been the tar
get for the shafts of ridicule ever since
the session Of the last General Assem-
bly,. 50 The air has been filed
with the noise Of demagogues of var
ious stamp, crying their remedies for
poor old Missouri, just as If malfeas-
ance in office, bribery or larceny, OF
any other crime, is more likely to
break out in one section of the Union
than another, or become more prevail
emit during the administration OF one
political party than another"
-
"If the vigilance Of the courts OF
Missouri can ferret out crime in high
places and set an example for the 9th
er States in furnishing the guilty, she
should be hailed as the Morning Star
Of a reformation that is 70 badly need
ed In our State capitols, whose moral
stencil smells to high heaven since the
enforcement of great corporations In
many of our states"
-.
"There is no crime in the calendar
that will more insidiously and more
surely sap the vigor Of free institutions
than m~alfeasance in office, If allowed
to go unpublished. 1t not only will
burden us with iniquitous laws that
tax the people to fill the Golfers Of
combines, but 1t engenders a disregard
Of all laws and thereby undermines
and strikes a deathblow at free gov
