UNCLE JOE REGRETS
That He Has Decided TO Get Out of
the TTcadmlli of Public
Tife.

That hearty and bluff old Ameri-
can. Uncle Joe Cannon, whom while
we do not like his brand Of politics.
yet we love his genuine Americanism.
when he reached his home at Dam
ville H.. for a little rest prior to fin
ishmg his last term in congress, told
a reporter that il is fifty years since
he first went to Washington.
Il decided to retire Voluntarily"
said Mr.. Cannon, but I'm just a little
sorry now"
For forty-siX years "Uncle Joe" held
a seat in the house of representatives
At 81 years of age he decided to re-
tire from active political life Now
that he is back home contemplating
life out of harness he feels bit sorry
for the decision he made to retire.
Until men see the effect Of decisions
made they cannot be certain always
that they have done the right thing.
Sometimes they wish they might turn
back the clock and do some things
over, but in a different way.
Perhaps Mr.. Cannon made the right
move. His waning strength began to
be insufficient for the strenuous life
imposed by his office. He felt he
could not stand up under the strain.
lie says he has had enough.
If, however. there is a tinge Of sad
ness and regret in the fact that he
does not face more political combats,
it must be in his thought that he
comes 20 the end Of a career. That,
no doubt, Ia trait OF many who have
attained four score or more years.
They wish they had the energy to do
the work that challenges. Such a
desire Is a mark OF our common hu-
manlty. It is the fire of youth still
burning. It's glorious sight TO see
old folks like that. not placidly re-
signed yet graciously accepting with
/ Nst the human weakness OF regret at
not being abe to fight 'em as of old.
And to remember with Riley:
There ain't no use to grumble an
complain.
It's just as cheap an easy to re-
joices,
When God sorts out the weather an
sends rain
Why, rains my choice.

J. G.. Grems, seventy-n;nc years old,
residing on Fast First street is one OF
the two surviving Jurors who officiat-
ed in the first murder case which was
heard in Nodaway county. All of the
other persons but one connected with
the case are dead. The Judge the at
torneys for both the defense and the
prosecution the sheriff and the cir
cult clerk are all dead as are ten
members of the jury. The other sur
vivor is James Mckee of Ravenwood,
who was also a juror
The story Of the murder and the
trial as told by Mr.. Grcms and ex-
tractcd from the History of Nodaway
County. follows:
on Friday evening of August 10,
1856, between sundown and dark,
solomon McAlpin and John T. Cali
cult, two young men living near Haw-
leyville In Page county. Iowa, left
their homes in a wagon pulled by a
yoke of red oxen for st. Joseph to
purchase a load of apples. on the
following Monday McAlpin returned
home and circulated the report that
Calicutt had gone to the Missouri
river or to the mountains. to seek his
fortune and that he intended to
neither write home to his family nor
to return until the object of his
strange and novel adventure had been
fully accomplished.
Blankets Covered With Blood
on the blankets which they had
taken with them and which McAlpin
brought back with him We're spots Of
blood. McAlpin explained them by
stating that on their trip dawn they
had killed a pig and being about to
be detected by some passersby had
thrown it into the wagon and covered
it with the blankets.
Several other circumstances in the
conduct and statements of McAlpin
caused suspicion at length to fastcn
upon him as the probable murderer
of Calicutt. In February. 1868. a
skeleton was found near the road a
few miles north Of Maryville, which
bore marks of identity which served
to point out that it was the skeleton
Of John 7. Calicutt.
At the April term of the circuit
court of Nodaway county an indict-
ment was found against McAlpin,
charging him with the murder OF
Calicutt. He was arrested and cited
to be tried in the October term of
court but owing to the importance of
the case an adjourned meeting of the
court was held and in December.
1859, McAlpin came to trial.
Here is the story in the words of
Mr.. Grems:
