Frame James is published as aa advertisement for the Paragoukl, fair. Queer tastes people have. Ohio will have its election next Tuesday. Democrats claim to be eoa-fldent of success over Hanna qnd his methods; but it does not seem that they can win. Luetgebt, the sausage-maker, who was on trial six weeks, at Chicago, tor the alleged murder of his wife, will not hang yet awhile, the jury disagreeing.

There is considerable doubt about his guilt. His wife disappeared; the officers say that he killed her and boiled the body into soap; but the story seems improbable. The Yukon river is frozen anil no more gold or men will come out of the Klondike country this season. It is said that Dawson Citys population of 5,000 will he in distress before spring as there is not enough food there to supply so many.

Paragould got scared Wednesday and quarantined. Inoculation against inebriety is the latest discovery. A San Francisco physician is the discoverer and he thinks children of parents subject to drunkenness may be kepi free of the disease, which he thinks inebriety is. If the discovery proves a success, it will be more valuable and important than all the discoveries for the prevention of small pox or the cure of diptheria or rabies, if the so-called gold-cure can destroy the appetite of drunkards for intoxicating liquors, may it, or some other discovery, not create a dislike for intoxicants in even W. 3.

O. D. Jones, one of the curators of the state university, In a letter pub liahed in the Herald, last week, said We the curators were plainly told, respectable persons, that out of boot S5 teaehera in it the university in the late campaign, about 50 or 56 of them were pronounced adherents of the single gold-standard and sound money and that they did not hesitate to so announce and create am atmos phere in and around the institution." He further says that the principal teacher of political economy had been absent over year in Europe studying political economy, still drawing his 9,000 salary and hiring a 9890 substitute. This is not all Mr. Jones says; hat it is part of his defease against the chargee make against him and Corn tors Given and Benton that they, free-silver men, were at tempting te lajeet politics into the university manage ment.

Just wait until the country districts get tolly posted, and there is going to be shaking-up of dry-bones in that public institution, sure enough. A 1A1LR0AD KOKTHWSST. A timely suggestion was made last week by the Poplar Bluff Citizen concerning needed railroad, from that place west, to connect with the Kansas City and Memphis road. The Citizen says that there is a tram road, belonging to a lumber company, from Grandin to Beaverdam, in Butler county, 15 miles from Poplar Bluff, and it is a well-constructed, broad-gauge road. If this were extended to Poplar Bluff, it would let the Memphis road get into the rich part of Southeast Missouri.

Then, from Poplar Bluff there is an easy route to Campbell, in Dunklin county, on the Cotton Beit, the northern terminus of Houcks Dunklin-Pemiscot road. From Camp bell, a road has already been built, standard gauge, with heavy BUNjfffRP. ISSom'M northwest to the St. Francis river, onU rifSt-HaiS fCOfl. a direct line to Poplar Bluff, by the I Ward Lumber company.

Why not build the connecting links? Thu Houck road would be a valuable feeder, and It might be absorbed, if necessary. This is a project that railroad mea should oonelder, and the sooner the better, too. It is said that the Cottoa Belt has been fearing that the Ward lumber road would get into the bends of the Iron Mountain and thus give the latter route into Dunklin eoonty. call and see him in his office, west Sheltons store, Dr. Harrison bnilding.

The sale, by the government, of the Union Pacific railroad, to enforce our lien, a as to have occurred next month and a rich syndicate had fixed to buy it at a very low figure. Newspapers exposed the deal and showed that it was but a scheme of Mark Hannas to pay a 2-million dollar MoKinley campaign debt; public sentiment protested so loudly against the sale that it was indefinitely postponed. But, as soon as the sale was ordered postponed, the reorganization committee agreed to meet the governments claim in full, If the sale was made, and so it will likely go.

He dea lean over do banister on holler oat: Marble Hill Times: The tide of immigration has been moving toward the productive lands of Dunkun coun tr for sometime. Well enough it is that something is dime to keep up the population, for the number of murders that are committed in that county is very great as compared with the other counties of this section. For some reason the Times rarely lets an opportunity pass when it can give Dunklin county a slap that it does not do it. And it should not.

A considerable ortion of Dunklins population is made up of ex-citizens of Bollinger county, and they are generally doing well here. Come to think of It, maybe that is the very reason the Times is envious of Dunklin? As to this county having more murders than any ot her of the Southeast Probably it has; but the population of this county has increased about 50 per cent in A. J. LANGDON.

Occasionally, one comes from Bollinger county. One killing of this summer was by a Bollinger county man, atrawn; but that does not make all Bollinger county people murderers. Be fair, neighbor. Dunklin can feed the hungry and clotho tho naked drouth sufferers of Bollinger; it can give the idio work at cotton -picking, umploymonc in tha timber or on its suveral railroads being constructed. 3bt, if Dunklin is such dangerous, murdorous place, does it not look suspicions that tho of the Times should wan-, his competitor of the Dress induced to move hero?
