Hog Shippers Take Notice.

During the past week or ten
days number of shipments of
hogs has been received in this
market that have killed out soft
and oily, showing evidence of
having been fattened on mast.
The regular buyers in this mar
ket haev line on the section of
country where these shipments
originated and are absolutely re-
fusing to buy any hogs from
doubtful territory except under
a guarantee, and want an allow
ance of &c per pound made on all
hogs that kill out soft or oily.
Some buyers bought these doubt
full hogs today without guaran-
tee at a discount of from &c to
l cent per pound from the mar
ket price.
Shippers should watch this
point very carefully, and when
you ship hogs, advise your COM
mission merchant whether they
are corn or mast fed; it will be
to your advantage. Don't try
to put one over on the buyers, as
they are watching hogs from
every section very close, and
when a lot of soft hogs show up
from any neighborhood, they
will refuse to buy any more hogs
from that neighborhood, except
under guarantee or at soft hog
prices. Bourbon Stock Journal.

morning ito night according to
dispatches, Adams County Ohio
has recovered from its first feel
ing of shame and chargin when
the revelations of wholesale pur-
chases of ballots were made 10
days ago.
Adams County is the most con-
spicous place on h e political
map of the United States to-
day because of the object lesson
in practical politics which the
disclosure resulting from i t S
special grand jury investigation
that began on December Ii has
furnished to the county at large.
If ther are any congratulations
to be based on h e discovery
that fully a third of all the votes
in an entire county have been in
the habit of selling their votes
ever since they had votes to sell
and the fact that the most effect
ual and abrupt termination to
this widespread practic is now
being applied they seem to in
clude among their number the
following:
1 The purchase and sale of
voters is not regarded as even a
moral offense in communities
where it is practical.
2 The so-called secret" Aus
tralian ballot which never was
Australian also is not secret.
3. The party with the largest
campaign fund stands the best
chance of electing it's ticket.

has been conservatively demon
strated that one courageous man
can "clean up" an entire county
if he wants to.

Death of Col. John A. Paxton.

Col. John Paxton, one of
Peirce City's best known and
most beloved citizens, died at his
home in this city Tuesday night,
Jan. 3, at 9 o'clock and was
buried in the city cemetery Thurs
day afternoon, the funeral SER
mon being preached by Rev.
Canady of Ramona, Okla, and
the Masonic order in charge.
Col. John Paxton was born in
Adair county, Kentucky, Sept.
%, 1881. He came to Lawrence
county, Mo-, in 1850, and spent
his early life much as did the
pioneers of that early day. In
1859 he was married to Miss
Elizabeth A. Lingo. In 1861 he
enlisted in the Missouri State
Guards at the call Of Gov. Jack
son, and fought under -Sterl-
ing Price at Wilson'S Creek and
Lexington. When the State
Guards were diSbanded he enter
ed the Confederate States SER
vice in Co. E. Musser's battalion,
which was afterwards conSolida-
ted with the 9th MISSOURI infan-
try, under John B Clark. He
remained with this regiment I'M
til the close of hostilities, gain,
ing official promotion for merito-
rious conduct in service in Miss
issippi and Louisiana. At the
close of the war Col. Paxton re-
turned to Lawrence county and
engaged in farming until 1883,
when he moved to SarcoXie and
engaged in the lumber and i'm
plement business. In 1891 he
removed to Pierce City, where
he managed his farming inter
ests and occupied local official
positions, and where he was
known as Judge Paxton. He
was a member of the Baptist
church, and although nearly 80
years old was active in Sunday
School work up to within two
weeks Of his death. In 1885 he
was married to Mrs. Hattie AL
len Garnett, OF columbia, NY.
He is survived by his wife, 2
sous, 4 daughters, l brother and
2 sisters.
During his life as an official
and as private citizen and bust
ness man Judge Paxton made
many friends by his upright life
and clean business and official
methods. He left many friends
who unite with his bereaved
family in mourning his death. -

The Work of a Mob.

Shelbyville, KY, JAM, Is: A
masked mob of fifty men cap
tured the police officials Of Shell
byville, turned off the electric
light power, cut the telephone
wires, battered down the jail
and lynched three negroes early
this morning, fulfilling threats
that have been more or less pub
licly made on the streets for
more than a week. The mob
apparently had planned to hang
all three men from the G.. & O..
bridge over Clear Creek.
Half the city was aroused by
the fusillade of shots fired by
the mob, which apparently made
no attempt to conceal its work.
Citizens following the trail of
the lynchers came upon the bod
les of two Of the victims before
daylight. An all-day search
failed to reveal the body Of the
third negro, but that he met a viol-
ent death no one here doubts.
The victims of the mOb's fury
are, Gene Marshall, 25 years of
age, convicted and sentenced to
death for the murder of a negro
woman; Wade Patterson, %
years of age, accused of attack
ing two white women in the
streets of Shelbyville on the
night Of December 5, and Jim
West, Is years of age, accused
with flirting with a 14-year-old
white girl.
/ Marshall's lifeless body was
found hanging from the G. &. o.
railroad bridge a thousand yards
from the Jail, at the break of
day, and was cut down two hours
later. Patterson had nearly es-
capped the vengeance of the mob
by reason of the rope breaking
after he was swung from the
bridge and made brave run for
his life, but was cut down at the
edge of the creek by one of sew
enty-fve bullets fired at him.
The body of West had not
been found late tonight. A wild
rumor on the street says that he
was taken far into the woods
and burned at the stake, but il
is more probable that he was
hanged to second bridge near
by and that his lifeless body will
in due time found in the creek.

Prediction.

This is not the prediction of an
astrologer but of the American
Red Cross the organization which
conducts q large work of relief
among people strikan by great
calanities than any other agency
in the world. Experience has led
the Red Cross to expect an aver
age of five or six serious disasters
in the United States every year.
1t does not know wheather they
will be caused by storm or fire
or flood or earthquake or explo-
sion. But it is sure that they
will happen just as one may b e
sure that fifteen persons of ever
thousand now living will die in
the next twelve months.
World wide service in humility
was shown in reports presented
at the recent national meeting of
the American Red Cross i n
Washington. This organization,
Of which President Taft s the
president is recognized by h e
federal government asthe officials
channel for the conduct of relief
work wherever in the United Sta
ties people suffer from the re-
suits of great calamities. Blu t
Red Cross does not cOnfne itself
to relief operations in this coun-
try. Its field is the world. Elk
perience proves not only that an
average of five or six disasters
severe enough to call for R e d
Cross help may be expected to oc
cur every year in the I'm i t e d
States but that the demands
from other country may be expec
ted to b { equally numerous &.
Some idea of the caracter a n d
variety of these den ands may
be gained from the disasters
with which the Red Cross dealt
in the last twelve months. These
include in the United States one
hurricane one mine fire tw O
mine explosions and forest fires
in Idaho Montana Oregon Wash
and Minnesota; in foreign coun-
try soldiers relief OF starving
captured soldiers in Nicaragua
foods in Mexico, France, Servia

in the United States SOC lives
were lost while approximately
$500 persons required immediate
assistance. Almost 5000 person S

the Red Cross in these relief
operation in the United States
was 1882, 900. Other relief funds
expended in this country in con-
junction with those of the Red
Cross and according to its plans
and methods amounted to 500 ,
