A St Lour, Ciqiiuit ivests L'iirly in Mexico L.ial Estate. The Prom-ny. South- so, and rained their congratulations thick and fast upon Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland.

In order to keep the secret until ready to announce the facts themselves, procured the necessary license through a friend in the southeastern county of the state Dunklin county. Several gentlemen were made acquainted with the facts at the time, but were pledged to secrecy. The day was set some weeks beforehand, and in spite of a drenching rain, with electrical accompaniments, which a kindly Providence sent, as if to envelope the movements of the party in still greater secrecy, the plans were rarrieout to a letter. Mr. and Mrs.

Sutherland will leave the city, this afternoon for Kansas City, afterwards going to Excelsior Springs, where they will remain a few days. They return to Fnlton to reside. The Globe hinted of the above affair last Thursday, but by request of friends of the couple the facts were held from the public until this morning. SPECIAL PBEXIUKS Proposition to Units all the Denominations in One Church. Rev.

Frit sell, who preached at the Court House Sunday, has a plan for the organization of a German church at Mexico which bids fair to succeed. Rev. FriUchs idea is to urte all the Germans of the various denominations of this vicinity into one congregation. He is satisfied a church run on broad Christian principles, free from any sectarianism would succeed. He has talked the matter over with a number of the leading Germans of Mexico and the adjacent country, and feels that his plan will succeed.

Rev. Fritsch is a zealous worker and is taking hold of this matter in earnest. He is a member of the Evangelical Synod and is a man of talent. Preaching ill be held again Sunday afternoon, July 2Sth, at 2 oclock at the M. E.

Church, South, at which Rev. riedrich will preach. A committee to solicit contributions will call on our citizens in a few weeks for assistance. Rev. Fritsch thinks a strong German colony can be established here in a short time if proper effous are made in that direct'-on and th'ks a church would do more good than anything else to attract attent on to the locality.

He is greatly pleased with both Mexico and the surrounding country. Audrain County Agricultural Wheel. To tLc Editor of the lutelllvencer. Bentos City, July the last regular of the County held July 13th. the writer was appointed a comir.ttee to write and cause to be published, the following article, as expressed by the mem-herwof the Wheel in regular session: Whkkeas, In the tate twine transaction between G.

L. Few is and the Audrafu County Wheel certain panic- who are not Wheelers have tried to make it appear that Mr. Ferris attempted to sw'nde the Wheel. Therefore, Be it known that we, the members of the Wheel, do positively state that G. L.

Ferns hr fulfilled his part of the contract to the letter. Be it also known, Thatbysome unknown cause an inferior grade oftnine was shipped without ders toFenis, sud several Wheelers got it before the mistake was found out, and that Ferris at his own expense replaced the bad twine with good, and paid all damages from loss of time or otherwise by any one. We believe that Mr. Feiris has acted honest and upright in every particular in this whole twine transaction. We also believe that the twine committee did the best they could, and we he Wheelers are perfectly satisfied with the money saved by said committee for us.

By order of County Wheel. Saml'el 0. Wright, Committee. The 8heriff of Coaritou. Sheriff Anderson, of Chariton county, was in town Monday, en route.home from Jefferson City, where he had been to place L.

D. Foley in the penitentiary. Foley forged a check for $110 and got the money and left tor Illinois. He remained there fo? some time, but not hearing from the transaction and supposing that no one knew he was the guilty party, returned to Chariton county. He had landed in the county about twelve hours when Sheriff Anderson had him behind the bars.

Sheriff nderson says that crops were never better in Chariton county. Wheat is especially fine, many fields yielding from 15 to 40 bushels to the acre. A. H. T.

isfii i.r. Ci-Vi. for Vo. Vj. The auditorium of the M.

E. Church, South, was filled Saturday by the friends of the late James Callaway who were present to attest their respect and esteem for the honored -citizen. In all the large assemblage there was not one, man or woman, who did not feel that in the death of Mr. Callaway they had lost one of the truest and best friends this world can possibly give. The floral offerings were the most elaborate and beautiful that have been seen here for years.

A large broken wheel made of Mare-chal Neil roses was very handsome and appropiiate. It was from Mrs. Dr. Lamme, of Bozeman, Montana, a cousin by marriage of Mr. Callaway, who chanced to be here at the time of his death.

Another beautiful design was the gates ajar with the word "father artistically arranged. A sickle with sheaf of ripe wheat, a beautiful pillow and a number, of other smaller designs were among the offerings. A special choir was arranged for the occasion composed of B. F. Dobyns, J.

M. Marmaduke, J. T. Nelson, G. E.

Laforce, Prof. Trr-loar and Frank Spence, with Miss Lizzie Marmaduke a8 organist. The services were opened by the choir rendering Abide With Me, followed with "We Shall Know Each Other There. Dr. John D.

Vincil, of St. Louis, then led in prayer and the choir sang "Only Waiting. The funeral srrmon wa? then deftvered by the pastor, Dr. Miller, whose heart wub so touched by the death of his loved friend that it was difficult at times to control his voice. He paid the deceased a touching and beautiful tribute.

The entire audience was in deep sympathy with the pastor and there were few present who were not moved to tears. Following Dr. Miller, Dr. J. D.

Vincil, who was pastor of the Mexico church during the years 1875 and 1S86, and who was a devoted friend of the deceased, Epoke for a few minutes on the life and character of his depaited friend. Dr. Vincil is a strong, eloquent talker, and his words on this occasion sank deep into the hearts of not only the children id immediate relatives of the deceased, but of the entire assemblage. The choir then sang "God be With you Till We Meet Again. when the remains were taken to the cemetery and interred beside the grave of Mrs.

Callaway, who died )ittle over two years ago. A beautiful floral design arranged by Mrs. Carroll was placed so as to unite the grave of My. Callaway with that of his wife, and containing the words, "United Again. The pall bearers were John M.

A. ewiat of Annual Meeting at the jo0l Sunday Nighs.n, of the the -lroh Audrain County Auxiliary Bible Society met at the Chrietianchurch Sunday evening, presided over by the president, J.

In the Pittsburgh Dispatch Sir Morrell distinguished surgeon, issues a serious warning against cigaret smoking as far more injurious than any other form of smoking, and especially as it is the great cancer breeder in the mouths and throats of those confirmed in the practice. "Our forefathers, Eays he, "who used regularly to end their evenings under the table, seem to hawe suffered little of the well known effects of alcohol on the nerves; while the modem tippler, who is never intoxicated, is a being whose whole nervous system may be said to be in a state of chronic inflammation. The cigaret smokers aggravate the effect by inhaling the smoke, and not "puii.ng it from the lips outward; thus they become victims of narcotic poisoning.

The victims fate, if it be slow, is always sure. But it is frequently rapid. If the cigaret does not kill the body at once, it speedily attacks the vital forces and the victims usefulness in life is over. In the race of uiler demoralization the ofecohol is beaten, so much more deadly is excessive cigaret smoking, and rignret smoking always becomes excessive. We remark on this subject thr frequently from a sense of duty, especially as it concerns yonng men.

The state has tried to pre vent the sale of cigarets to persons under 16 years, but although the law for that purpose has thrown an obstacle in the way of such sales, it has hardly interfered with cigaret smoking by that class of persons. Some more thorough means will have to be taken. What Politics Did for Dr. Macfhrlane. The following communication addressed to the Board of Trustees of the Agnews (Cal.) Insane Asylum shows why Dr.

W. W.Macfar-lane resigned the superintendency: "Efforts have been made for the past sixteen months to force me to resign, and in order to accimpltsh this purpose I hare been subjected to repeated snubs and petty insults and indignities. "Your Board has appointed every officer and employe without regard to fitness, and every officer and employe so appointed by you whose salary has been, or is, over $50 without exception, is a Republican. You have undertaken to manage all the details of the asylum to suit yourselves and without consulting me. I have been surrounded with disloyalty and spies and tattlers, who hare made garbled reports to individual members of your body and have been encouraged to do so.

You have neglected and refused to make and adopt by-laws for the government of the asylum as the law required. You have discharged officers and employes without cause or investigation or-from erratic testimony. Therefore, as I am a Democrat, and your board is four to one Republican, and the good of the public service seems to require it, hereby tender my resignation as Superintendent of the State Insane Asylum at Agnews, said resignation to take effect July 1, 1889.
