The transcription site needs a name. It's my understanding that there will be a link to go to Charlotte's Pearls or to the new transcriptions. I've been asked to make it a two word, catchy name like Kay's Korner. However, I'd prefer to use my maiden name of CLERC (pronounced Clair). The volunteers have suggested several CLEVER ideas, making it very hard to choose! It's finally narrowed down to 'Clerc's Clues' or 'Clerc's Couriers' - which name should it be? -Kay, FL

I am guessing you are talking about the pages with copy that starts or ends with --- that means the image was either cut off on either the left or right side of the page, some of the story made sense, some did not, some contained names, I have been trying to transcribe them best I can....not much to read but if someones surname appears in it, I would hate to skip over it and them not know it was there, at least this way they can try to investigate further about the story if they see a tidbit.

The Library Association is short of funds. Have you paid your quarterly dues! Do it now. Judson POUNDS and wife of Morse Mill were in town Friday and settled a little court matter out of court. Circuit Court has adjourned until April 2nd at which time all the jurors are ordered to report for further duty. Sheriff Frank CLARK and his deputies are making good in the court room and are attending to business and obliging to the attorneys, witnesses, and visitors. Keep it up. Sheriff CLARK returned from Jefferson City Tuesday evening where he went tot take a prisoner, William LOESCH of De Soto. the trip was made in about fifteen hours, a record breaker. Schools are hard at work on the “Exhibit” display, only a month off. Citizens other than school people are looking forward with pleasure to the big event which begins Washington’s Birthday. George F. BOOTHE, an attorney of Sedalia has business in court here last week in court. It will be remembered by Jefferson County people as the former County school commissioner. He also taught in De Soto and Hillsboro. Dr. Kirk, Banker Gus WENOM, constable TANBOLD and about half of Rock Township official and civil were here on witness service in the KOHLER trial Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The case is laid over for trial next term. Miss Etta FRISSELL of De Soto Star Route, a well known teacher in the county is critically il at her home having been stricken with peritonitis more than a week ago. Her physician Dr. GIVSON has pronounced her out of danger at the last report yesterday. Miss Lillian, a daughter of Rev. A. HILKEMAN, one of the county pastors, graduated from the Grover Cleveland High School tomorrow, and the Record friends acknowledge with thanks an invitation to attend. Congratulations and good wishes to the young lady, who made some friends in this county while here on a visit last summer. The open winter has been an advantage to the poultry business, eggs being plentiful and forty cents a dozen, here and higher elsewhere. A Rock Township poultryman told us last week of getting more than 1,000 eggs a week. He has a machine and delivers them to private customrs [sic] in the city at 42 cents per dozen. The Jefferson County hen, like the Jefferson County cow, is a real source of revenue. W. A. BERGMEYER, a son of Esq. E. BERGMEYER of Antonia, arrived in the County January 9th for a visit to his parents and the scenes of his childhood. Mr. BERGMEYER is associated with Mr. Andrew KOHLER of Great Bend, Kansas and expects to remain in the county until February 1st. He was a recent visitor of the county seat and while here called on the Record for which he has been a subscriber of long standing. Charles VIEHLAND and Louis VIEHLAND of Oerman were in the county seat paying taxes yesterday. The former has lately returned from St. Louis where he had his eye removed. Sometime in the fall, while riding home in the dusk, a low hanging branch pierced the eye which had ben blind for about eight years. His suffering necessitated its removal, and altho he is still compelled to wear a bandage, the healing progresses satisfactorily. Robert A. HOLEKAMP whose farm home is “Sorgenfrei” two miles north of Hillsboro has an important letter before the farmers and dairymen of Jefferson County which appears elsewhere in the Record columns. He is a very practical man, is thrifty, energetic, wideawake and anxious to be of benefit to his neighbors and the county farmers. His article should be read by all the farmers and the business men of the county. Mr. HOLEKAMP is not the only wideawake farmer who has expressed a lively interest in “Farm Agent for Jefferson County” to the Record and urged us to push the matter. Let us hear from others at once. Farms Wanted I have cash buyers for several small farms. If you want to sell, list your farm with me. F. J. ADAMS, Real Estate, Hillsboro, Mo. ~ Missouri Farms Need Lime ~ The use of ground limestone of some form of lime to sweeten sour soil will soon become regular farm practice in many parts of Missouri. The reasons for this practice were given by R. A. KINNAIRD of the College of Agriculture in a recent lecture during Farmer’s Week at the University. Soils which were originally poorly supplied with lime and even limestone soils have lost so much of the lime which they formerly contained that crops suffer from soil acidity. The continuous leaching to which soils in the humid regions are subjected and which is greatly increased by cultivation is largely responsible for this loss of lime. The greatest soil acidity, therefore, is in those soils which were originally poorly supplied with lime and especially in regions where the land has been cultivated a long time with little attention to soil fertility. Practically all of the soils of the prairie region of northwest Missouri are quite sour. In the northwestern part of the state there is much less acidity. In the Ozark region soils derived from limestone have been leached until they have become very acid. There are also soils in the Missouri and Mississippi River bottoms that are sour. Not all crops are injured by an acid soil, but unfortunately most important cereals and forage crops, expecially clovers and alfalfa, cannot be grown successfully on a very acid soil. Acidity is indicated by the failure of these crops and by luxuriant growth of red sorrel, Canada blue grass and water grass. To sweeten an acid soil, a sufficient amount of finely ground limestone or slacked lime must be scattered evenly over the plowed ground and worked into the top soil. Ground limestone is usually the cheapest and most satisfactory in general, though it takes effect more slowly than quick lime, slacked lime or hydrated lime, and a larger quantity must be applied to get the same results. The screenings from the ordinary rock crusher can be used. Coarser material has little immediate effect on the soil, but if a much larger quantity of the course material is used it will keep the soil sweet for a longer time. Screenings can be obtained at from one dollar and twenty five cents to one dollar per ton. In some cases where hauling from the railroad is expensive and where limestone is accessible, small grinders can be used to grind the limestone on the farm. Persons interested in the use of limestone on acid soils should write to the College of Agriculture, Columbia, Missouri, for more detailed information. ~ Bees Help Fruit Growers ~ Did you have a full apple crop last year? Failure of some varieties of apples may be due to lack of pollination. T. J. TULBERT, of the College of Agriculture, told farmers’ week visitors at the University of Missouri recently how bees helped to make fruit crops. Many varieties of apples like Arkansas Blacks, Jonathan and York Imperial are self sterile and corss pollination is absolutely essential if a set of fruit is obtained. Other varieties like Ben Davis, Yellow Transparent and Willow Twig are only partly self fertile and again cross-pollination is necessary. The numerous white snowy flower clusters act as a guide to the insects and may attract them far away. When a bee alights on a flower its hairy body may be covered with pollen from another variety of apple. As the bee works its way down to the bottom of the flower to get the nectar it rubs its dusty body against the stigma or female organ of the flower and cross pollination is accomplished. It is a well known fact among the bst [sic] fruit growers that the weather conditions during fruit bloom has much to do wit hthe [sic] setting of fruit. If the weather is clear and warm at the blooming time the bees are active and cross pollination process rapidly, while if the weather conditions are wet cloudy and cold the insects are not active and usually a poor set of fruit is assured. Strong cold winds may often prevent the bees from cross-pollinating one side of the apple trees and this may account for the set of fruit on one side of the tree. Actual counts and observations at blooming time have shown that the honey bee is decidedly the most important insect in the work of pollinating the fruit flowers. Many counts have shown that from seventy five to ninety per cent of the insects pollinating the blossoms were honey bees. The wind cannot be relied upon as an agency to transfer pollen from apple tree to apple tree through out the orchard.

NELSON, of Madison Wis., rep- ---enting the minority members of the ---use Judiciary Committee, on Jan. ---presented in the House a report, ---ich for the first time in American ---tory, deals directly with methods ---obtaining equal suffrage and by ---political conventions last year, is ---burdened with the necessity of ---king an argument for the principle ---suffrage itself. The report marks a new era in the ---nal suffrage campaign. The question ---whether women shall enjoy suffrage ---assumed to have been settled by the ---omises of political conventions. The ---estion of how these promises shall ---made into law alone engages the ---iters of the report. The report examines in detail the ---iculties confronting constitutional ---endments in each state, pointing ---that a relegation of suffrage to the ---ates presents almost insuperable ob- ---cles. In closing the minority report ---r. NELSON deals with some of the so- ---istry opposed to suffrage says: “No one can justify his obstructive ---titude to the minds of fairminded ---n, nor deceive for a minute the far- ---hted, clearvisioned women in the ---efront of the onward march of wo- ---nhood toward a larger democracy, ---r beelond [sic] the minds of the host of ---men they represent throughout the ---d. Women knows the way, and she ---d follow it, if need be, to the end ---time.” Mr. NELSON and his colleagues car- ---atly recommended the adoption of the ---int Resolution No. 1. Conspicuous for their good looks and ---arm, among the people who attend Governor GARDNER’s inauguration ---Jefferson City, Jan 8, were a group of St. Louis suffragists who wore yellow badges and were greeted with the greatest courtesy and consideration everywhere. They were given seats next the inaugural platform, and were invited to an informal reception at the mansion immediately after the Colonels on the Governor’s staff were presented with their swords, as well as to the ball in the evening. They were driven in motors through the surrounding beautiful country, and were shown the prison. One prominent mail anti-suffragist was heard to remark: “Well, if such attractive and intelligent women as these are espousing the cause of suffrage cause it is time for me to change my views on he subject.” Miss L. C. TRAX, suffrage organizer went out the National American Suffrage Association from New York, is now in Jefferson City. Miss TRAX is working with Mrs. HARSCH of Columbia, Suffrage Chairman of the Eighth Congressional District, and their aim is to show Congressman SHACKLEFORD through his constituents that it is important for him to support the Federal Suffrage Amendment at Washington. Miss TRAX spent two days in Mexico, Mo. doing suffrage organization work, and will be active in the Eighth District all of next week. Mary Semple SCOTT, State Press Chairman. Missouri Equal Suffrage Association ~Entertainment and Box Sup. ~ There will be an entertainment and box-supper given at Heads Creek school on Saturday, February 3rd for the benefit of the school. The program will begin at 7:30 p.m. Admission ten cents. Ladies bringing boxes admitted free. Jos. A. OTTOMEYER. ~ Farm Names in Missouri ~ Missouri was the first state in the Union to enact a farm name registration law. The Missouri Sate Board of Agriculture has just issued a bulletin, “Farm Names”, the author being W. L. NELSON, Assistant Secretary of the Board who was also the author of the farm name bill referred to. This bulletin, in addition to giving the names of 1,000 Missouri farms, tells how many of these names originated and offers suggestions for the naming of farm homes. The origin of the names of famous places in other states is also given. Many Missourians and others have contributed to this bulletin, thus making it of unusual value. In a list of 1,000 Missouri farm names “view” is used 88 times, as in “Fairview” or “Lakeview.” Other popular basic words are “valley”, used 38 times; “Maple” 34; “oak” 24; “dale” 28; “walnut” 23, “side” 22; Then there is found frequent use of “hurst,”; Old English for thicket or grove, as in “Hickoryhurst” ; “foyle” a leaf as in “Glenfoyle” meaning a leafy glen. This bulletin on farm names is free to Missourians. ~ Advertising the Farm Name ~ The Missouri State Board of Agriculture, in a new bulletin on Farm Names, has the following to say as to advertising the farm name and its products; “Once an appropriate farm name has been chosen, there is need of good taste, discriminating judgement and wisdom in its use. Even when the name is used a a [sic] trade mark; used commercially, it should not be in a fashion to offend the best of taste. The name should be used for identification rather than as a nadvertisment. [sic] A carefully lettered sign on the front gate, the R. F. D. mail box, or on a small board made for the purpose is to be recommended. Letter paper and envelopes should always bear the farm name. The farmer who neglects to use printetd [sic] stationary is missing a great opportunity to advertise his business. In this day and age no farmer can afford to conduct his correspondence on blank stationary, or worse still, on cheap, shoddy stuff containing the advertisement of some city concern. A small halftone illustration showing the farm home, the entrance where the name is displayed, or even some of the leading products of the farm, may be used as a trademark and also on stationery. It matters not which is preferred, the material should if possible, be secured through some local firm, preferably the newspaper, which can and should be of farm and its products. It is worth much to have the newspaper make liberal use of the farm name, even in its news columns. The local printing office is not always prepared to turn out embossing or perhaps certain halftone work, but ca nalways [sic] secure the desired article without increased cost over that the customer would be compelled to pay elsewhere.” This Bulletin, of which W: L: NELSON, [sic] Assistant Secretary is the author is free to Missourians. ~ Rock Township Teachers ~ The following program will be discussed by the teachers of Rock Township at the Kimmswick school house. This may be our last meeting so let us try and be present. We open our program at one p.m. Saturday, February 3rd. Discussion on Kennedy. Address of Welcome, Miss Hazel WELLS.

HJCR1917A_13.jpg HJCR1917A_14.jpg HJCR1917A_15.jpg HJCR1917A_16.jpg Volunteer transcription - part 4 Jefferson County Record, Hillsboro, Mo January 25, 1917 No. 5 ~ Legislators are pleased with work of University ~ Junketing Committee Inspects Work of State Institution to Form Report Judicious and efficient use of the state’s money by University authorities, the smooth working organization of the schools forces, and the wide and healthy influence of the school in the state were the impressions given by the junketing committee of the forty-ninth General Assembly, headed by Senator G. M. BUFORD, chairman, which recently visited the University of Missouri. The other members of the committee were Representatives P. H. BARRIS of Vronn, and Representative W. L. SHOUSE of Shelbina. “ You may rest assured that the University will get an adequate appropriation and that all of the needs set forth will be taken care of in so far ar possible,” Senator BUFORD said after the trip of inspection. “The University is sending the right kind of men and women into the state and deserves the right kind of support.” ~ Will Recognize Practical Work On Missouri Farms ~ Putting into practice the ideas they have learned during winter short course in the College of Agriculture of the University of Missouri will give the short course students additional credit in the college according to a new plan adopted by the faculty of the College of Agriculture. The idea is to make the home farms laboratories of the College of Agriculture where the theories taught may be tried in actual practice. Seed growing, the use of pure bred sires, the records of dairy cows and spraying of fruit trees are among the subjects in which the additional credit will be given. ~ New Bank Organized By De Soto People ~ Capital Stock of $25,000 Fully Paid Up. A. O. WHITE of Kimmswick Will be the Cashier. The newly organized Farmer’s and Citizens’ State Bank of De Soto with a capital of $25,000 fuly [sic] paid up, was reported in last week’s issue. As all of the capital stock has been sold, and there are still a large number of people very anxious to secure an interest in the bank, the directors are considering the matter of recommending a vote to increase the capital stock. The character of a bank and its future depend almost entirely upon the character of the men who compose its directorate, and its body of stockholders. The Board of directors of the new Farmers and Citizens State Bank are men so well know in this community that their names alone are sufficient introduction for the new institution. They are: Dr. R. E. DONNELL, Mr. Lucas DUFFNER, D. A. MALLICOAT, J. L. MOTHERSHEAD, J. E. WILLIAMS, A. O. WHITE, and Mr. George V. WELCH. Arrangements are being made to provide the bank with the very latest and best safe, deposit boxes, office fixtures and equipment of every character, and the matter of a location has been carefully canvassed, in order that the needs of the community may be fully served. It is expected that the new bank will open its doors about March 1st. ~ Some laws favored by Missouri Farmers ~ The Missouri State Board of Agriculture recently asked its crop correspondents to express their views as to needed Legislation. The replies show the greatest demand for changes in the presnt [sic] road elaws. [sic] Ninety farmers place this subject first. Second in order is the request for a pure seed law, 64 correspondents answering to this effect. Sixty mention the need of a dog law. Thirty-nine are of the opinion that the school laws, especially those relating to rural schools, should be amended. That there is need for some system of farm credits under state control is the opinion of thirty-three. Better protection for the quail, or “Bob White,” is asked by 32 farmers, many of whom suggest a closed season of from three to ten years. Another suggestion on this subject is to limit the number of birds that may be killed by any one hunter during the open season. Next in order of suggestions for farm legislations come some provisions for farm organization, a bureau of marketing, support of the county agent law, pure feed law, and a stallion law. Other suggestions mentioned are better fertilizer inspection regulations, changes in revenue laws, a law making plain what constitutes a legal fence, a law requiring hedges to be cut and all obstructions at turns or intersections of roads to be removed. ~ Pretty Church Wedding ~ Miss Anna, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred PAUL of Seckman and Casper SCHAFER of Rock Creek were happily united in marriage at the Glaze Creek church January 14 at 2:00 o’clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Hugo FRIEDRICH. The bride’s sister acted as bridesmaid and the groom’s brother as groomsman. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white silk draped with lace. She carried a bouquet of white carnations. The bridesmaid wore a gown of white net and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Norma and Leona Yeager of St. Louis played the bridal march. After the ceremony a circle of relatives and friends gathered at the home of the brides parents to partake of the wedding dinner and the evening was spent with music and dancing. Mrom [sic] St. Louis were present, Mrs. S. BERNER, grandmother of the bride, Jos. A. YERGER, Miss Bertha SCHAEFER, Miss Minnie SCHAEFER, Frank SCHAEFER, Frank SPINNER, Charles DISHINGER. The happy coupl [sic] will live on a farm near Seckman. A friend. ~ Notice to Taxpayers ~ The land and personal assessment books for 1917 are now in my possession subject to inspection of the public.

The “Base Ball” season will soon be here. This year it is to be ushered in with a strike impending. We hope nothing interferes with a fair start as it will be quite a relief from politics and war’s alarms. Decatur, Perry, Lawrence, Brainbridge, Paul Jones and many others are names dear to the hearts of Americana, because they raided the high seas and brought many British ships into port, captives to American supremacy as fighters and as sailors. We wonder if after the war is over if the Germanic Captains and Lieutenants who commanded the present raiders will not also be enshrined in the hearts of the Teutonic people. It seems quite probable. The docket of the Probate Court appearance this week. Judge MILLER wants whose docketed to understand that they are expected to be on hand on the day set or during the week. Under the law, if executor, administrator, guardians or curator fails to appear for settlement on the day they are docketed, the settlement is to be continued for ten days and unless the parties appear and make settlement citations are required by the law to be issued. Judge MILLER intends to comply with the law, so you had better be on hand or notify him why you can’t come. In another column we are giving excerpts from President WILSON’s address to Congress, relative to world peace. It is bold and incisive. It may give offense and then again it may result in final peace. Whatever the result may be, it is in accord with the sentiment of the American people and is in direct line with the policy urged on the country, and the warring nations by Ex President TAFT and his Peace League. Let us hope that good will come and if it does, let us not be chary in giving WILSON credit for the courage necessary to formulate and propose. Missouri Senators have five clerks and one stenographer. A good many of them employ their wives as clerks at $3.50 per day or some other relative. This is taking care of the public money with a vengeance. A Senator has about as much use for five clerks and a stenographer as a dog has for five additional tails. Thirty competent clerks would be worth more than the whole bunch employed. What difference does the cost amount to among friends! This seems to be the ida, but the people pay. How long are they going to stand for this sort of thing. Everybody gets a raise in wages or a bonus these days except the printer, the doctor, the lawyer and preacher. These are expected to trot along at the same old gait, attend the sick, write the wills, attend the funerals, write the obituaries and to look after the window and orphans and to do so for the same old price or for nothing, according to the exigencies of the case. The laborer is worthy of his hire and in the new adjustment of values your preacher, your doctor and your lawyer, and last but not least, your favorite newspaper ought not to be criticized if they are under the inexorable law of necessity compelled to charge somewhat near the true value of their services and expenses.

MURPHY, Hillsboro, Mo., Route One. ~ A County Farmer Who Was There ~ Following We Publish the First of a Series of Articles by a Jefferson County Farmer. To the farmers of Jefferson Co: I have just returned from “Farmer’s Week” at Columbia, Missouri and as I am convinced that the farmers of Jefferson County could be greatly benefitted by employing a farm agent, I have taken pains to get information regarding this matter. There are a number of Counties in Missouri employing a farm agent and it appears they derive much good from his work. The farm agents are United States officers. They are under the direction of the United States Department of Agriculture, in connection with the Missouri College of Agriculture; they have free use of the post office for their official mail. They are partly paid by the United States Department of Agriculture, partly by th University of Missouri and partly by the county for which they work. This makes the expense of the county a small matter considering the amount of benefit the county derives from the work of these agents. The State of Missouri under the name of Agricultural extension service, County Agents work, has an office in the Agricultural building at Columbia, Missouri, under the management of P. N. ROSS, County agent leader; as the name implies, he looks after the agents. To get the benefit of this great work which the United States and the State of Missouri are doing for the farmers use to solve the problems of their county. The agent is employed to do certain things which the farmers as individuals cannot do and which they cannot do unless they have organization, besides having the county Agricultural agent. If your paper will give me space I shall try to explain in a series of articles what will be necessary for us to do in order to get the benefits our governments offer to us. I believe that we farmers ought to take advantage of every help that is offered to us and when the helping hand of our government is extended to us we ought to grasp it and accept all the assistance which we can get. Fellow farmers of Jefferson County, when you come together after church on Sunday or Saturday at the store or at any meetig [sic] place, talk about farm agents, as the work of these agents is not known well enough, and cannot be appreciated unless it is known. I do not want to make these articles too long so it may not require too much space I, therefore, close for this time. Robert A. HOLEKAMP Hillsboro, Mo., Route 1 ~ 1917 Corn Yield Contest ~ The Agricultural department of the State Normal School, at Cape Girardeau, will conduct a corn arcre [sic] yield contest again in 1917. The prizes and rules will be very much the same as in the previous contests. One scholarship, valued at $18.00, is given to the person growing the largest amount of corn to one acre in each county. Cash prizes for the highest yields in the district are offered by the Cape Girardeau Commercial Club. Circular letters are sent out to the contestants as the season progresses, suggesting things that will increase yields. All that is required of the contestant is that he keeps an accurate record of all the work he does on his acre of corn. On enrolling a blank is sent to each contestant on which he keeps his record. In awarding the prizes we do not consider the cost of producing the corn nor do we require any written essays. The yield is the only thing that is considered. No enrollments are received after April 1. The plot of ground used may be an acre by itself, or it may be a part of a large field. The plot must be regular in shape and be a full acre. As long as the supply lasts, we will be glad to send a tabulated statement showing how the winners of the 1916 contest grew their corn. Enroll now! You may win some of the cash prizes. Whether you win or not, you are going to learn, more about corn growing. How big a yield could you if you made the conditions ideal on a small plot of ground. Would it not pay to duplicate on a large field the methods used by the winners to get their high yields in 1916?

These transcriptions (posted by the volunteer team and Charlotte Maness) were on the archive site. Desoto Joe posted the Kimmswick Cemetery list. Only one reference is made to a 'Wm.' Bradshaw in 1881. Perhaps someone could check the County Court information for you to see what this was about. There's a mention of Lucy Bradshaw in 1899, but not much to go on. http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=MOJEFFER Kay, FL Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri FRIDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 1882 STATEMENT OF COUNTY WARRANTS ISSUED BY THE COUNTY COURT OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, CO., DURING THE YEAR ENDING FEBRUARY 1, 1882 SEPTEMBER 16, 1881 Wm.

Jefferson Democrat Thursday, December 18, 1890 page 1 column 6 Volunteer Transcription  by N.J. ~ Ground Into Pieces ~ ~Terrible fate of Two ladies and a Gentleman ~ ~All Killed By The Train~ ~The Unfortunate Victims to the Act of Boarding a Train When Run Down and Slaughtered by a Train Who They Were~ Minneapolis, Minn., December 11- ? D. TODD and wife of Sioux City and their daughter, wife of Master Mechanic SLAYION of the Kansas City road, were run down and instantly killed by a St. Paul & Omaha passenger train at the State University station this morning. They were in the act of boarding a Great Northern train when they were run down by the Omaha train coming in on an adjoining track at a terrific speed. Mr. And Mrs. TODD were ground to pieces under the engine, their bodies being mutilated beyond recognition. Mrs. SLAYTON was caught by the cow catcher and buried a distance of nearly twenty feet into the air, her body falling against a passenger coach of the Great Northern train. The remains of the victims were scattered along the track for a distance of nearly one hundred feet, and it was some time after they were collected that the identification could be established. The bodied were carried into the station and the coroner notified. Mrs. SLAYTON left a little girl at home who told those that called that her mamma had gone to St. Paul. Engineer of the Omaha train said he applied the air brakes as soon as he saw the Short Line train at the depot. He had a heavy train and the brakes did not answer promptly. Mr. TODD was a prominent conductor of Sioux City. ===================== ~ Compound Lard ~ Washington, D.C., December 9- Two bills imposing a tax upon compound lard were to-day reported without recommendation by senator PADDOCK from the Committee on Agriculture. One of them is the bill that passed the House last session, and the other is the bill introduced in the Senate last January by Senator DAWES, which has never been reported by the committee. Both bills are similar in purpose, and provide for the imposition of a tax upon and regulation of the manufacture of compound lead. The bills were reported without recommendation in order to avoid reopening the controversy of the last session and the hearing of argument, which would necessarily have greatly delayed any action upon them by the committee. It is understood that some features of the house bill were objected to by several Senators, but rather than consider the bill by sections in the committee it was deemed best to report them to the Senate at once, leaving the objectionable points to be considered when the bill comes up in the Senate for consideration. ----------------------------------------- ~ Bill NYE Saves RILEY~ New York, December 8- Bill NYE the humorist, is plaintiff in a law suit against the poet, James Whitcomb RILEY, his chum for years in the work of making Americans laugh. NYE and RILEY have been a money making combination for years, but Mr. NYE charges that, while his own humor was always dry, Mr. RILEY was to frequently wet. In Louisville, he says, early in the year, Mr. RILEY poured out to Bacchus libations which should of honored the shrine of Euterpe, and the result was that when the hour arrived at which the combination should appear to amuse the public Mr. RILEY presented a very willowy form to the audience. Hence Mr. NYE’s actions. The combination went in twain, and yesterday morning Mr. NYE hairless as ever, ascended to the office of WALKER Brothers, No. 25 (?) Broadway, who first formed the NYE and RILEY combination, and put them on the road. To them Mr. NYE told his tale of woe. There was fast writing for some hours and then an adjournment untill to-day. The action, which is for the recovery of some $30,000 from Mr. RILEY, will be tried at Indianapolis. The evidence is only now being taken. ----------------------------------- ~A Land Purchase by GOULD` Hutchinson, Kans., December 7- Another quarter section of land has been purchased by Jay GOULD’s attorney, making 1000 acres in all that Mr. GOULD now owns in Hutchinson. It is announced that the grounds will be used for additional salt plants. Mr. GOULD already owns three soda ash works and ground for terminal facilitation for the Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific, which meet at this point. He has long wanted to shorten his line to Denver, and it is said to be his intention to run an air line from El Derado to Hutchinson, hence west to the D. M. and A. at Larued, intersecting the Denver line at the little town of Utica, Ness County, shortening the distance forty eight miles. ---------------- ~ The Proceedings of Congress~ Washington, D.C., December 10- In the Senate yesterday Mr. PLUMB introduced a bill to require the surrendered votes of national banks and to provide for free exchange of silver. Mr. QUAY offered an amendment to the tariff bill to correct a typographical error. The election bill was taken up, and MESARS, BERRY and DANIELS spoke against it. ------------------------------------------------------------ ~ The House~ The resolution providing for removal of the remains of Gen. U. S. GRANT from New York to Washington was defeated, 153 to 92. A number of public building bills were passed. ------------------ ~ Strays To The Stripe~ Arkansas City, Kan., December 9- The report sent out to all stray cattle left in the Cherokee Strip after December 1 would be confiscated by the Government appears to be untrue. Thomas HILL, who had a large range south of this city, had over 500 strays. Last week he sent out a party of five cowboys to gather up strays. To-day they returned bringing with them sixty head of cattle bearing HILL’s brand. They were not disturbed by the soldiers. The party will search for other stray cattle. -------------------------------- New York, December 9- HOWE and HUMMEL made no protest against the admission to probate of Dion BOUICAULT’s will, because the signature was undoubted and the testament genuine. They say, however, that when the will was made Miss THORNDIKE was not the actor's wife. Agnes ROBERTSON not having then got a divorce. As soon, therefore, as searches of some of Mr. BOUICAULT’s real estate have been completed they will begin a contest on behalf of their client as the wife of the testator when the will was made. This may be within a fortnight. ---------------
