Mrs. Crooks Buried at Berear

The remains Of Mrs. e. M. Crooks,
who suicided Wednesday morning,
were buried at Berear churchyard
Thursday afternoon at 2:30.
Mrs. Crooks had been in bad health
for a long time and grew despon-
ent and brooded over her condition.
She performed her usual household
duties Wednesday morning, and sent
her two small children to the field.
She also sent the hired boy to the
wash-woman's for the clothes and
then, after having carefully planned
her death, suspended herself from the
ballustrade Of the stairway with a
thin strap.
The deceased was about 30 years Of
age and leaves a father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Rogers, OF neal
Santa Fe, two married sisters, foul
brothers and two small sons, aged 7,
and years. She was niece Of Squire
Dudley, OF this city. Her oldest
brother, Prof. ]. B. Rogers, is princi
pal of the public school at Madison
NO., and Stephen Rogers, who form
erly attended school here and latel
was ordained to the University at the
Baptist church in this city, was also Q
brother.
The bereaved family have the pro
found sympathy Of the entire com
munity.

THE Moberly mo Democratic says;
In seems that Grover Cleveland, like
Senator Vest used to, believes in
women ruling the world, but not by
assuming mans duties or manish ways
His description Of an ideal wife will
not meet the approval Of all women,
but IL will OF most men. He says the
ideal wife is "a woman who loves her
husband and her county with no
desire to run either" The facts are,
such women weld an influence that
is ten thousand times more powerful
than the strong minded, ,over-strenuou'
kind that assume the rights and man
ners of both sexes. lThese may be old
fashioned views but are yet essential
for happy bones.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat
says: On cross.examiuation during
the morning Miss Goodwin had testi-
fed that she had been promised by
members of Morris family, and she
thought by Morris himself, that she
would receive one-fourth Of the money
II Morris won his suit. She identified
letters she had received from Morris,
In one OF which he stated that he had
filed suit against Barnes, Lakenan and
Jesse for $3.50, 900 and that they would
both have plenty Of money II he won
the suit. The letter also informed
Miss Goodwin that she would be ex-
pected to testify at Mexico In June.
Another letter said he would send her
$3.50 on the first of every month and
and $3.50 on the 18th. 1t was signed
"With love, Geo., Jr."
On ross-examination Miss Good
win reiterated the statements she had
made the day before. When asked by
Mr.. Lehman why, II she knew these
facts before her former testimony,
she had not told him, she replied that
she did not mean to mislead him, and
she had gone to his Office to tell him
all about 1t once, but had found him
out. She said that after giving her
testimony she had gone to her EN-.
ployer, Murray Carleton, and asked
his advice, and that he had told her
in a general way to tell the truth, and
advised her to see Morton Jourdan
his private counsel. Mr.. Jourdan was
busy when she called on him and she
had not talked with him. She init
mated that she would have told facts
in the former examination II she hat
been pressed.

A Newspaper is like a man-because
general it reflects some mainland IL
as a man should be judged on the
whole. No man lives perfect life;
no editor prints a perfect paper. II
an editor is honest he is bound to
offend some one every day Of his life.
II he doesn't offend some one the
editor is namby-pambly and flabby.
The same is true Of the average man.
A newspaper is bound to make mis-
takes; in getting news it must nee
essarlly take hearsay. But IL in the
long run land In main, week after
week and year after year, paper
stands for decency, for honest thinking
and clean living, II it speaks for .th0se
who are ltrYing to do good and con-
demns sneaks and cheats, that Is a
good paper.
