the zerubla is q new invention,
whereas the mule is not. In fact,
the mule is not an invention at all,

Genesis records that Anah found
mules in the wilderness, as he fed
the asses of Zibeon his father. "
Ever since that time the invaluable
qualities Of the mule have been
recognized.
BE can do certain needed things
that neither of his progenitors, the
horse and the donkey, can do, be-
cause he possesses the abilities of
both parents. That he is subject
to certain vile South African dis
eases is really nothing against him.
The world would not respect him
as muchif he were proof against
them, like the zebrula. He is not,
however. to be considered as a
South African proposition, but as a
friend and coadjutor of the uni
versal man. For that matter, it is
quite possible the British, now
dominant in South Africa, have
prejuced the mules case there in
revenge for the assistance that the
American mules, by their untimely
stampedes, are said to have given
the Beers in the war.
The assumption that the zebrula
is going to replace the mule ignor-
es the moral aspects of the question.
OF moral attributes the new hybrid
we hear nothing, except that he is
at least as intelligent as the mule. "
This is saying a good deal, mas.
much as it is no uncommon thing
for the mule to be a good deal
smarter than his driver. OF sense
of wright and wrong the mule has

DOODLE CASES.
Farrls Sick His Trial May
Be Held Later.

jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 49,
Senator Frank H. Farris Of Craw-
ford County, who is under indict-
ment here for boodling in connec-
ton with the alum bill, is said to
be dangerously i'll at his home in
Steeleville. His condition may
necessiiate the postponement of
his trial, which is set for next
Monday. The absence of MIR.
Walter Aycock, formerly a com.
mission man at Lebanon, who ia
wanted by the defence, will be an
additional cause on which contin.
uance Of Senator Farris trial will
probably be sought.
The State is anxious to try the
Farris case in advance of those
against Charles A. Smith, Senator
Buell. w. Matthews and Senator
William p. Sullivan, all charged
with boodling, and the postpone
ment of the Farris case may cause
the postponement of the Others
which are set for trial within the
next two weeks.

ED. c. S. BROOKS.
His Church in Rails Holds
up His Hands.

New London, Mo-, Aug. IT,
The following resolutions concern
ing the Reverend Crayton Brooks
were unanimously adopted by the
Christian Church at this place last
night and signed by the pastor
and entire church board.
Whereas, Reports have reached
us to the effect that it is being cir
culated in Jefferson City Mo-,
that Elder Crayton S. Brooks
formerly pastor of the Christian
Church at this place, and now pas
tor of the Christian Church at
jefferson City, was driven away
from this city and forced to give
up his charge here.
Therefore, i'll view of the injus-
tice to Elder Brooks and the falsity
of such reports, we deem it proper
to most emphatically deny all such
charges aud brand them as absolu-
tely untrue, malicious and which
can be only intended to injure and
retard the eOmmendable and un'
firing work of Elder Brooks in his
present field.
Elder Brooks resigned his charge
as pastor of this church at his owr
election and against the wishes Of
a large majority of the members Of
this church and the citizens of this
community. His work here was
high and cOmmendable in every
way.
We have carefully watched his
course at the State capital and arr
proud of the fruits which his fear
less Christian efforts have borne al
that place. We heartily recommend
him to the law-abiding citizens
Of jefferson City and Cole County
as a Christian gentleman of sterling
worth and pronounced ability, ever
fearless in upholding the right anC
condeming the wrong.
