Then there was O mob. The ne
gro confessed the crime and was
promptly lynched in the presence
Of all the other negroes OF that CON-
muuity. Notice was served on Vest
that if he knew what was good for
himself he would leave Pettis coun-
ty. He answered the threat by
opening q law offie. And that is
how George Graham Vest came 70 be
q citizen OF Missouri July 4, 1853.
In 1856 he removed to Cooper
county and opened an Office at
Bonneville, q larger and much more
important place than Georgetown.
Here he was successful at the bar
and some time after he represented
the county in the State Legislature.
At that early date he was well known
as an orator and he used his elo-
quence in the Legislature of 1851 In
aid Of the movement to turn Mis-
souri, into the Confederate column.
He supported his opinions with
arms also and participated in the
battle against the Union forces at
Wilson creek, near Springfield, Mis-
souri,.
Vests Advice TO Lincoln.
A few days after the attack on the
Sixth Massachusetts Regiment in
Baltimore by the mob Vest arose in
his seat and, after he had stacked
his musket, he thus addressed the
house:
Mr.. Speaker / notice in morn
ing newspaper a dispatch which
reads as follows [holding up the
paperl: The bodies OF the soldiers
that were killed in Baltimore be-
longing to a Massachusetts regiment
have been placed on ice and shipped

Germans resolution for the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate !
the postoffice scandals was tabled by
a strict party vote. Of course the ex-
cuse will be given that the resolution
was merely a Democratic play for
partisan advantage. This excuse will
probably satisfy most Republicans, but
it ought not to be sufficient for any
fair minded and thoughtful men.
Unless there is more corruption in
the postoffice department than has
been given to the public, the admins
tration has far more to gain than to
lose by a thorough investigation. 1t
very seldom occurs that either party
or an individual seeks to avoid an IN
yestigation into it's or his acts unless
there is something to conceal. In this
case it looks very much as if the Re-
publican Senators preferred to stihe
inquiry, and trust to partisan bigotry
to sustain them, rather than take any
chances of an investigation in which
a part of the Investigators will not
be interested in covering up any cor
ruption which may exist.
Senator Teller broadly charged the
Republicans with trying to avoid in.

Meetings at Madison.

The two weeks union evangelistic
meetings under the leadership Of Evan
gelist H. l.. Gale, closed on Sunday
night. The meetings have been held at
the Methodist church with special meet
ings at the Congregational and Free Bar-
fist churches. Services have been held
afternoons and evenings throughout the
the two weeks.
The services of last Sunday were es-
pecially impressive. In the morning,
Mr.. Gale spoke to a congregation Of
men. His topic was the "Unpardonable
Sin" The address was logical and soul
stirring. AT the close of the service
many strong men expressed their desire
to live the Christian life. In the after
noon the church was packed and many
turned away. Mr.. Gales topic was
"Amusements," and he gave strong
and earnest plea for Christian people to
stand firm to their convictions concern
Ing questionable amusements." There
were no ranting and sarcastic remarks,
only straight, honest facts. These, COM
ing from man OF talent, of wide expo
ted the facts, made deep impression,
not only upon those who professed to be
Christians, but also upon the more
thoughtful of those who make no relig-
ious profession. The address will help
to raise the ideals OF many who listened.
In the evening the house was filled long
before the time for the service to begin.
Mr.. Gales last message to those out OF
Christ was based upon the words, 1.-THE
summer Is ended, the harvest Is passed,
and we are not saved" At the close OF
the service many took their stand for
Christ. Then Mr.. Gale spoke most help
full and instructive words to those who
had recently started In the Christian life.
Mr.. Gale has proven himself to be a
born leader, an eloquent speaker, a
manly man, consecrated Christian and
winner Of souls for Christ. He APP
pealed to the reason, the conscience, and
the will, and In response to the messages
over two hundred expressed their desire
to live the Christ life. The meetings
have been characterized by deep re-
ligious feeling with no excitement, and q
sweet spirit of harmony ameng the
churches.
Madison has received a moral and
spiritual uplift which will long be felt
and remem bered. Among the helpful
elements of the campaign was the strong
chorus choir led by Mr.. Z. C. Taylor OF
Skowhegan. Mr.. Taylor, by his full,
barytone voice, his evident sympathy
and sincerity, and genial spirit proved
himself a most efficient director.

Dreams are pleasant things to
have provided one has the right
stnff to make them of. The cares,
worries, sorrows, berevements, and
strenuous experiences do not fur
nish the right material Neither
do these furnish the desired ma

Many man does not find the de-
sired degree of success in secular
life, yet he does not dream, much
less think seriously, of oondemning

sonable to condemn and hold aloof
from religious things because they
do not yield all one may desire of

January is John F. Dryden of New Jersey, who is credited with S10,000. 900, nearly all of which was made in life insurance. He began operations with an office staff numbering but three all told and an outfit costing not more than S200. Today he has under his supervision over 30.000 persons in all parts of the country. John Kean, the other New Jersey senator, is rated at $5.000.000. mainly inherited

 The two West Virginia senators, Stephen B. Elkins and Nathan E. Scott, together own a large part of the state. It is supposed that each of tEem is the possessor of at least S10,000.000. Mark Hanna's s10,O00.OO0 is chiefly in vested in the iron business and in steamship traffic on the great lakes. Kearns of Utah and Wetmore of Rhode Island also count their wealth in this class.
 Then there are dozens of senators who reckon their possessions between $1 100000 and $5,0O0.O00, among the latter being Proctor of Vermont and Alger of Michigan. In fact, the num- Der of men in the senate who are mil lionaires comprises at least one-quarter of that august body.

He is five feet ten inches tall and weighs 329 pounds. Senator Hepburn is said to possess one of the most robust appetites known on the Pacific coast. but whether or not this reputation is deserved his girth is six ty inches. and his wealth is S2.000.000.
 Senator Ankeny is tall and slender and is known as the Russell Sage of the west. He commands more ready cash than any other capitalist of his section and is chief stockholder in twenty banks scattered throughout Washington, Idaho and Oregon. It is said that in forty-eight hours he could mass S3,000,000 in any of these banks to his own credit.

 Along in the eighties MT. Chamber lain made q voyage to the United States. The result of this trip seems to have been happy, for, as he often says, it was here that he made the best speculation of his life-the wooing and winning of his bride.
 One day he called upon Baltimore woman who happened to be giving a girls luncheon. The hostess, being un- able to leave her guests. came out to greet him and said laughingly that If he were courageous enough to be the only man at table she would be de- lighted to have him join the party and take the seat of a girl who had not ap- peared. The statesman was not timid and accepted the invitation. As chance would have it, the vacant place hap pened to be beside that of Miss Endi- colt, and so charmed was Mir. Cham berlain with his fair companion that not long afterward he asked the Puri- tan maiden to become his wife.
 The present Mrs. Chamberlain is the third wife of the distinguished Briton. She was formerly Miss Mary Endicott. daughter of Judge W. c. Endicott of Massachusetts, who was secretary of war during President Cleveiands first administration. The wedding took place ;n 1888.
