ment in three counts against Mr..
Mueller. j. w. Scivally
succeeded Mueller az cashier and
unearthed some of the irregular
ties, but he got sick and for some
time had not been able to work in
the bank. A Mr.. Jones, a repre-
sentative of j. E. Franklin, a large
st. Louis stakeholder in the bank,
followed Mr.. Scivally, and found
further errors, or debts, or what
ever you want to call them. Then,
within the past four days, John
A. Hope of st. Louis, representing
Mr.. franklin, and T. R. Ely of
this city, representing other stock
holders, made an examination and
found other facts. Then the State
Bank Commissioner sent a deputy,
Mr.. Plank, to Campbell, and he
gave the information leading to
the filing of the informant H.
Dunklin Democrat.
l saw her the other day. She
was a stranger, go far as l was
concerned. Her bouyant step with
neatly shod feet, and trim, grace
full form were good to look upon
and, being a mere man, I looked
as she approached my point of
vantage. l thought, as l had ten
thousand times before, that the
Lord had reached the supe rlative
of perfection in his creation of
Eve. Tell that story, that He made
her out of a rib taken from Adam
not to yours truly! The Furnishing
of brass in to pure gold would of
course be possible to Him, but He
has the gold ready to hand, and
wastes no raw material. No! Eve
is of metal as distinct from Adam
as silver from pewter, with a men
tality no man has ave yet fathom-
ed. But this is by the way, and
we will return to the young lady
coming down the street. Her
every movement vas grace, and
in her youth abounded. Surely
Mother Nature had denied her
+ nothing to be desired in her
beauty. Yet as she passed me
my old eyes amazed and
distraught, so to speak, by the
too, too vermillion hue of her
cheeks, evidencing the aid of the
rouge pot, it's contents literally
laid on! To me it seemed like the
painting of the lily and the gliding
of refined gold-and, aesthetically,
= about as successful. She passed,
: and with her passed the ideal a
more distant perspective had held.
Girls, the moral herein conveyed,
. is: powder a little if the nipping
= winds too greatly freshen the tips
of your dear little noses, but fire
the paint-pot out into the back
alleyl You are too sweet for the
aid of art.
The hearing of testimony in the
case of the State VS.. VIM. Brewer,
charged with raping Mrs. Lily
Mullane, near Annapolis, October
, 10th, occupied the time of the cir.
cult court last Wednesday and
Thursday. The evidence of the
state was much the same as that
a adduced at the preliminary trial
. in December, except that in the
circuit court, Mrs. Mullane, the
prosecuting witness, implicated
her husband, in accordance with
the statement she made to the
authorities at Poplar Bluff, a week
or so after the preliminary was
held here. The theory of the de-
! tense was that there v as no rape.
: That no force was used; that Mrs.
! Mullane submitted without pro-
q test. The attorneys made their
y arguments Friday morning and
! the case was given to the jury that
afternoon at two o'clock During
a lull in the proceedings Thursday
afternoon forty jurors were quail
: fed to try the case against Chas
Middleton, and shortly after the
. Brewer. jury retired and the trial
8 of the case against Middleton be-
) gan. The evidence was much
: the same as that in the Brewer
= case and all the testimony was in
: Saturday night. Court then took
a recess until Monday morning
when counsel made their argu-
: ments and the issues were SUBJ
. mitted to the jury about three
: o'clock in the afternoon. AS it
o was impossible to get through
with another of the trials before
Christmas, Judge Evans post
o poned the trials of the other six
" defendants until February 18th

is that of Elmer Lloyd. The Sheriff
was ordered to have a venire OF
= forty jurors here February 18th.
After celebrating about an hour
the jury in the Middleton case re-
! turned a verdict of guilty and fixed
u the punishment at eight years in
= the penitentiary. The attorneys
! for the defendant filed a motion
!, for a new trial, which the court
= took under consideration until
= February 18th. The jury in the
Brewer case, however, failed to
reach a verdict, and after being
: out more than three days-from
