is SUNDAY YADTERTISING LEGAL?


The Gazette mentioned incidentally the
doubt about the validity of liquor notices
in the Sunday Dispatch. The Gazette is
quite right in it's opinion, and is doing a
fair thing By calling attention to the fact
1t has been judlcially decided in Iowa,
Virginia, New Jersey, and in most of the
Now England and Northwestern States
that An advertisement in either Sunday
paper or in one not printed in English,
unless provision by statute law has been
msde to publish in some foreign tongue, is
not in compliance with the law relative to
legal notice. Applicants for license will
therefore exercise care in the matter. W.
regret that such is the law, as the Dispatch

The New York Tribune has been able to
interpret the cypher kilograms OF the Demo-

tempt to steal the electoral vote of Oregon

vice the Tribune is entitled to the thanks OF

corrupt aud shameless attempts to wrong

honest suifrages that has ever been known

The Situation in England.


LONDON, January 30th-The Con-
servatives in the House of Commons
are expected to give solid vote in
support of the credit Thursday. The
Liberals, on the contrary, are divided.
The Home Rulers have not determined
on their course. The majority for the
credit is already estimated at over
100. Meetings are being held
throughout the country to influence
Parliament against the credit, but
mostly by Liberal or Peace organiza-
tions. An open air meeting at Shelf
field yesterday, for the purpose of op-
posing the Government, was turned
into an anti-Russian demonstration.
An amendment to the original rcsoIu
tion against the credit was carried by
an immense majority, declaring that
the cause of peace and the interests of
the Government will be best promo
ted by supporting the foreign policy
of the Government.
The Sentiment in New York in Anticipation of

New YORK, Jan. 30th.-The gener-

in anticipation of the passage of
Bland's bill despite veto, is expressed
by the Tribune in an article showing
that gold goes up and silver down, be-
cause that measure will drive gold out
of the country. But insure the re
of silver by the Latin
Union without adding materially to
its use here, and paper will become
a promise to pay in silver and will



exclude silver from use. The silver
will fall, and paper will sink below it |
in value, as the promise surely falls
behind the thing promised 1t must
be plain to every man who knows
how business is done, and where act
i've capital is found to conduct it, that
the pending bill, if passed, will cause
a time of frightful disaster unless bus

ter, which is the most efficient means of
warfare against the 'hoppers, is very scarce
Many farmers have not sown any, and most
all have made some reservation tor the pur-
pose Of taking the chances OH some late
sowing. To these the prospect is fair. The
young 'hoppers, having come out much
earlier than common, will get their growth
and take their departure earlier, which will
allow time for late sowing to mature. We
have seen good quality of wheat grown
on fresh land that was sown as late as the
25th of May, and oats will often mature
when sown even later than this. A diligent
effort will protect many fields that are now
just up, since the 'hoppers are so young,
and by the time they become able to ferry a
good-sized irrigating ditch the grain will
have such start that they will go for fields
less advanced. Those who have adopted
the plan of waiting must wait week longer
to,be safe.

For several months past, among

working for the railroad company at
and IN the vicinity Of Poplar Bluff,
there has been one, trim very


smooth.iaced fellow, especially notice
able. He was populor with all his
associates, owing, perhaps to his boyish
ways and his ight,forward bearing.
He did not indulge in the use of in
toxicatlng liquor, and night after night
as the men were grouped around
the camp fire, his CHEEKY voice as he
sang the rude ballads of his compaions
made the forest ring. About ten days
since, he fell victim to fever and chills
and while delirious, his attendants
made the startling discovery that their
favorite was not what he claimed, but
woman in disguise. AT night on
the return Of the choppers to the camp,
the information was impaired, and the
next day the girl was carried to Pop
ular Bluff, where under the care OF a
physician, she soon recovered. Her
occupation gone, she found herself
an object of suspicion and curiosity.
Uuable to obtain work suitable for her
sex, few nights since she donned her
"old Clothes" and as we learn from
Conductor Welsh, came to Judsonla,
where she is again at her old occupa'
tion-driving team. The girl when
questioned as to her reason for leading
the life she does answers frankly that
she cannot obtain employment suitable
for woman, and that as man she
receives much larger pay than she
would as common domestic.
