Peter Morrill,, of Holland, a farmer
about go years old, was found hung
to tree in his sugar place Saturday.
The cause of his committing suicide
is not known. He had a case in court
which is thought helped to unbalance
his mind. The funeral was in the Cath
olic cemetry.
The first years record of the work

the memory of General Grout, who
worked so untiringly for the propo-

success.

MISSOURI'S BOODLERs.

The scene has shifted from ST
Louis municipal council TO the Mis-
souri, state legislature, and especial,
the Missouri senate, which has Ions
been open to brides and corrupt body
and has been SO regarded from e
to year, n lot supplanting another
lot, and all equally bad.
The current investigation and ex.
posure relates to pure food bill, in.
nocent on its face, but full of corrup-
ton within or rather behind. The
bill provided that baking powders
containing alum should not be sold
in the state, thus giving the cream
~of-tartar baking powder trust a COM
plete monopoly. The bill was duIv
passed, but when its real inwardness
became known it became very I'M
popular, and a bill was brought in to
repeal its alum clause. To prevent
the passage of the repeal bill the
trust began to issue $1,000 bills.
Lieutenant Governor Lee, acting for
the trust, distributed twen!y-sever1
of these bills at one time to senators
who were willing to stand by the
BAKING powder trust. The bill was
held up and finally defeated in the
senate, and when the truth was dis
closed indictments werefound against
ten Of the senators, and Lieutenant
Governor Lee has skipped out to
parts unknown.
Public sentiment in Missouri is
much outraged, and it may be that a
dozen or o senators will yet be
lodged in the penitentiary, although
they will fight long and adroitly.
The cases of the st. Louis boodlers
are standing still because of appeals.
and similar appeals would be made
in the senatorial cases. ATTORNEY
General Crow and Circuit Attorney
Folk are working hard to round up
the boodlers, and perhaps in the long
run they will succeed. It is at anv
rate something to rejoice over that
an effort has been begun in one state
capital looking to the extirpation of
boodling. If Missouri succeeds in
placing her boodlers behind bars.
other states may be induced to begin
and carry on a like crusade. All
American legislatures are tarred with
one stick, and the Missouri legisla-
ture is no worse than all the rest.
A Missouri man put seven mort
cages on one COW and then killed
the cow. That man should have.
been a trust promoter.

''BoozE."

He took a bottle up to bed,
Drank whiskey hot each night.
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But never could get tight.
He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues,
Until he took a bowl or two
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full of rheumatic.
His appetite was slack
He had pains between his shoulders
| Chills ran down his back.
He suffered with insomnia.
AT night he couldn't snooze:
He said it was the climate,
But never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down
AT least that's what he said;
His legs were swelled each morning.
And he often had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whiskey,
And if they didn't fuse,
He blamed it to dyspepsia
But he never blamed the booze.
He said he couldn't Sleep at nights.
And always had la creams:
He claimed he aIWay~ laid awake
Till early sunrise beams;
He thought it was malaria,
Alas twas but ii ru~e,
He blamed it on vefytlling-
But he eve blamed the booze.
His liver needed -craping
And his kidneys had the govt;
He swallowed lots of bitter5,
Till at last he cleaned them out.
His legs were sweiled with dropsv.
Till he had to cut his shoes;
He blamed it to the Il ~".t.r-.
But he never blani~t TIE Do3z.
Then he had the t~re:a~ns.
And tackled rats Ar. -...,k.s;

And the mourners had the hIue-.
