THOMAS K. NEIDRINGHAUs' ex

THOMAS K. NEIDRINGHAUS' ex-
p%eriences in getting a senatorial
togo recall "Private" John Aliens
story. After Mr.. Cleveland's in
a~uguration "Private" John asked
for the appointment of a friend to
the postmastership at Tupelo. MI.
Cleveland put him off time and
again, and finally "Private" John
said: "Mr. President, down in my
district an old fellow died and
left his property to his son, maxi
ing the proviso that the boy should
demonstrate his fitness to care for
the property before it was turned
over to him. [ was made trustee.
The boy was a wild blade, and l
hesitated about giving him con-
troll of the property. After he had
called on me several times and |
had put him off, he called one day,
and after talking the matter over
he looked at me sadly and said:
John, when / think of the trouble
] am having in gettin' hold of this
estate, blamed if I amt some
times sorry that pa died."

A FEW months ago the cotton
mill owners of Fall River reduced
the wages of their employees even
below the starvation point, offering
as a reason that the high price of
cotton made it imperative that ex-
penses be reduced. The reduction
was the second or third within the
year, and left the average wage in
the immediate neighborhood of Sc
a week. The employees in sheer
desperation struck against the re-
duction, and so far have remained
firm To-day cotton is cheaper
than usual, but the mill owners
have not seen fit to offer a higher
wage because of hat fact. This is
a matter that tends to explode the
hollowness of the claim made by
the grasping employers at Fall
River.-Commoner.

THE esteemed editor of the Cur
rent Wave is behind the times and
predicates his conclusions upon
false premises. Does he not know
that ''the earth belongs to the
saints" and that every Missouri
Republican is, by inherency, a
member of the inner household?
I am astonished that he has the
temerity to set before a twentieth
century public such a proposition
as this:
When Sam Cook received $1,000
from Phelps for the Democratic
Committee, and credited it to HIM
self at the suggestion of w. j.
Stone, u Republican brethren
raised a howl about hiding its
source. Whatabout Niedringhaus
accepting SIS, 900 from st. Louis
brewers and crediting to himself
and asking for the Senatorship on
the strength of his munificent con-
tribution?

I SEE that Representative john
son, of Pulaski county last Mon
day offered a resolution in the
House asking an Investigation of
the State University at Columbia.
He alleges that the $4,000 ap-
propriated by the Legislature two
years ago to build and furnish a
dormitory for girls of moderate
means was diverted from its pur-
pose; that the "dormitory' has
been made a luxurious resort for
wealthy girls and a place for So
ciety functions-where the charges
are SO high that poor girls cannot
enter. | hope the committee will
make it's investigation of the Uni
versity honest and thorough.
When the State gives, it ought to
know what is done with the money.
The University people are asking
for an appropriation of 81, 00O, 900
this year. Their modesty GER
tainly bespeaks their merit!
Nevertheless a few "ejaculations''

Alleged Criminal Assauit-An ag-

the north end of the county was
brought to the attention of the author
tiles yesterday. The fact that there
were no witnesses to the crime and
that the victim, a little girl was too
young to admit of her evidence being
given weight resulted in the man es-
Gaping prosecution. The man had been
employed on a farm near Valley Grove
and has wife and two children. The
victim is the daughter of prominent
farmer of that neighborhood. 1t is said
that the man and his family nave re-
moved to another part of the county
to escape the wrath of the little girls

An EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT.
Cyrus Brownlee Newton captivated
Large Audience Last Might.

Cyrus Brownlee Newton, the noted
California humorist, was greeted by a
large audience last night at the High
Shcool auditorium on his initial APP
pearance before a Walla Walla au-
dience. Mr.. Newton well sustained the
reputation that he has earned and he
demonstrated last night that he is one
of the best entertainers in the country.
There is an ease about his manner,
graceful and refined, that unconscious
ly you are drawn to the man. The
audience laughed and laughed till their
sides ached. There was such versa
tility. SO it is difficult to say in which
number he excelled. His last number
as Aunt Stutsnicker' was a master
production for it's quaint hurnor, facial
expression and yet withal was done so
easily, which showed his real genius.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the evenings entertainment was
the singing of Guy Allen Turner He
save two splendid selections and re-
ceived a well merited encore from the
audience. Mr.. Turner Vas in excellent
voice and his strong. rich baritone was
heard to great advantage.

| Declaring that the statements made
were reckless, exhibiting neither bril-

pressed, Rev. Henry Brown, pastor of

nounced his determination to publicly

church, in a recent interview, in the
Morning Union under the caption,
stage Rivals Pulpit In inviting the
public to his church tomorrow night.
Statesman the following communica-
ton:
"Stage Rivals Pulpit"
To the Public:
In the Daily Union, January 18th,
appeared an article under the above
caption, which contains some very
strange statements. 1t starts out as
follows:
You have no doubt learned through
the Union that a splendid opera house
is to be constructed. How does this
project impress you from the stand
point of religion?
THE foregoing question was asked
of Rev. Andreas Bard. In reply he
said:
Frankly 1 know of nothing that
could please me to a greater extent.
We have schools enough, churches
enough, money enough, and wheat
enough; but above all things else now
we assuredly need the stage"
Then follows lengthy statement of
opinions, and of personal habits, in
cidents. and preferences, in which the
gentleman manifests a wretched mis-
conception of what ought to be the
character and conduct of a Christian
minister
His reckless statements, while they
exhibit neither brilliancy nor pro-
foundity, are nevertheless morally I'M
wholesome, and mischievous in their
tendency, and coming as they do from
"a clergyman occupying one of the
prominent pulpits of the city may pro-
duce the. impression on the public
mind that they voice the sentiments
of the ministers generally. That the
public may know that I take no stock
in such sentiments I purpose, from my
pulpit, on Sunday evening, January
22nd, to discuss certain questions and
incidents that appear in said article
under the general theme: Pulpit and
Stage"
