Last Friday o. P. McCarver was
brought down from st. Louis,
where he has been held since his
trial in this county, and on Satur-
day Judge Davis overruled a mo-
ton for a new trial and passed
sentence upon the prisoner to be
hanged January 9TH. McCarver's
attorneys at once filed notice of
appeal to the supreme court. In
the opinion of several lawyers, the
case may be reached by the higher
court next April. In the meantime
the prisoner was returned to st.
Louis for safe keeping until his
Miss Lula Hasty, daughter of
Joseph Hasty, about eighteen
years of age, died very suddenly
Tuesday morning. The young
lady had been sick several weeks
with smallpox but vas thought to
be convalescing. Tuesday morn
ing she was about the house, when
she was suddenly stricken and ex-
pired. DR.. Marshall thinks it was
a case of heart trouble. The en-
tire family now, eight in number,
are suffering with smallpox but
seem to be getting along very we'll.
1t is thought that the quarantine
has been successful and there will
be no other cases. How the fami-
ly contracted the disease has never
been ascertained.
They say all signs fail in dry
weather, and its true as trite.
Sunday'nightt the moor vas crown-
ed with as glorious a halo as ever
portended change. One lone star
was within the circle, and, accord
ing to rule, Tuesday should have
been ushered in with storm and
rain. Yet the skies were unblem-
ished with cloud, and stream and
we'll and field yet languish for
want of the life-giving element.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere is filled
with smoke from the burning hills
whose sides and crests at night
give us Worlds Fair Nominations
without stint. They are beautiful
to look upon, but just now | would
be glad to exchange them for
leaden skies and p~attering rain.
