One of the saddest and most shocking accidents we ever chronicled occurred at the residence of Mr. Reed, on last Sunday evening, which resulted in the death of Clara, the bright little'daughter, and fav orite of all who knew her. It appears that the child's clothing caught fire during the temporary absence of the rest of the family. The little one was first seen (running from the house towards her brother who was only a few rods distant, and who ran to her and removed the burning clothinjr, but to late to save her. She was' burned to a crisp, except her face and head. Sbe suffered untold agony until 11 o'clock that night wheu death relieved her. The neighbors were greatly shocked when it was fully realized. The funeral was preached by Father Correl, on Monday at 2 o'clock p. m, and was largely attended. New Callaway Courier. There is not much sense discussing the county seat question, but if Mr. Mori an, the B. & M. railroad attorney, retained to conduct the contest of the election in Curtis precinct, is correctly reported he said: "There is no doubt but that the old location, near the month of Mitchell reek, is thp county seat of Frontier county, Stoukvillo stole the county seat by refusing to allow the records to be moved." It should be remembered that the late contest was really more a fight between Stockville and the B.' & M. rail road, than between Stockville and Curtis. The polling of over 50O fraudulent votes became and was possible only by the aid and effort of the B. & M. railroad. In this connection, the Faber predicts that none of the election officers by whose connivance and infidelity these frauds were perpetrated will be punished. Stockville Faber. Several years since the combination of the safe containing the records in the county clerk's office failed to perform as it should, and as it was only required to be fire proof, the clerk ceased to lock it, and in consequence the combination has been lost for several years. Last Thurs day some one got to meddling with the lock aud succeeded in locking the safe and it could not be opened. Every one iu town who had ever had anything to do with the safe was called in, but it would hot yield. Monday county clerk Neeves telegraphed to Omaha for an expert, who came up yesterday and opened it as easily as if it had not been locked. As this is the third time the county has been at the expense of having a man from Omaha to open this safe Mr. Neeves had the lock fixed so it works well , and the combination will be placed where it will not be lost by future clerks.

Interview with Robert Bonner in New York Tribune: "Yes I believe in adver tising, and have always acted up to my belief. The first time the New York Herald printed sixteen pages was when I gave them an eight page advertisement at regular rates. I once paid the Tribune $3,000 for an advertisement, and I traced 4,000 letters to it. The partnership existing between' the democratic party and the solid south, will be likely to continue until after another presidential election. But slowly and surely the power of the old party is being broken. Prosperity in the south, brought about by the operation of the protective principle, is working a revolution in polit ical sentiment. There is to be an earnest effort made in the coming congress to open a portion of the Indian Territory to settlement, and to legalize public entry upon the vast tract of public land known as "No Man's Land." One of the propositions is to divide the Indian Territory by a North and south line and to throw the western half open to settlement, retaining the eastern half for the Indians. Another plan is to make these public lands called No Man's Land" a territory under the name of Cimmarod. 1 The Omaha World says: The people of Tucson, A .

A letter addressed to "Santa Claus" was received by Postmaster Judd yesterday.

Chicago Tribune. Francis Sadi-Carnot, the newly elected president of the French republic, was born in Limoges, August 11, 1837. He entered the polytechnic school in 1857 and afterward the government school of brid ges and highways. He was graduated in 1863 at the top of his class, and after hav ing been for some time secretary to the council of the school, was made a civil engineer. He was elected representative chateau d'or to the national assembly February 8, 1871.

" - - An amusing incident illustrative of absent mindedness is narrated of the last session of the German reichstax. Herr Wichmann was calling the roll of mem bers, when, upon reading out his own name, he naturally received no response . He called the name the second time, in a loader tone, and finally roared cut like a healthy lunged bull. But at this junc ture the laughter of his colleagues showed there must be something wrong, and soon realizing the ludicrous situation, he join ed in the hilarity and marked himself present The Argonaut. Champaigne is not stored in the London dock vaults, but on the upper floors of the dock warehouses. The Russians, who used to rival the United States in champagne drinking," are fast giving up that wine and betaking themselves to port. There were not more than 500,000 bottles of champagne taken to Russia last year. The English cannot understand the taste of Americans for new champagne. The mpression appears to prevail in the United States thatchampagne deteriorates after it is three of four years old, and it is said this impression, for reasons of their own, has been fostered by the trade in that country. The English and French augh at this. They do not touch cham pagne until it is at least seven or eight years old, ana a large dealer, wno was ooking at some of his stock in the ware house, said he had champagne of the vintage of 1868, which was much sought after.

He lived on Madison street, and when he reached his home he tried for several minutes to adjust his key to the keyhole, but couldn't strike the combina tion. Every half minute a car loaded with people passed by and everybody laughed at him. Then a cunning idea struck him. He went calmly down in his pocket, got a match, lighted it, held it up to the keyhole, inserted the key, un locked the door and stalked dignifiedly In, while an irrepressible shout went up from a car that was passing. Daylight might be good enough for some, but he needed a little extra illumination. He was used to artificial light Chicago Mail. Chicago Dry Goods Reporter, Dec. o: Careful investigation among the leading commercial and industrial interests dis covers that, while the general volume of trade the past month failed to show as heavy gains ovr November, 1886, as was expected by the September and October statements,, the increase was fairly satis factory in every respect. The bank clearings were $272,849,832, against $231,074,730 for the corresponding month of 1886. and $223,931,574 same time in 1887. The total clearings for eleven months aggregated $3,693,782,957, against $2,473,688,182 the corresponding time in 1886, showing an increase of $230,094,774. These gains may be regarded as more closely representing the actual condition of legitimate business during the current end last Year: because of the compara tively low average of prices for nearly all lines of produce and miscellaneous mer chandise the present year, and the unus ually small speculative trading in grain and provisions, as considered with 1886. Close estimates of the value of goods dis tributed by the jobbing trade justify the statement that the eleven months sales have been equal to the totals for tho entire year 1886. Some give even more favorable estimate. The activity with the manufacturing establishments has been even greater. In scarcely any line of industry has there been a slackness of orders. Profits are also represented as -better. Goods have been paid for with as much promptness as in recent years; and stocks of nearly every description are low beyond precedent. The only class of dry goods that have not met an entire ly satisfactory sale were heavy woolens, which, owing to a combination of adverse circumstances, have been slow, but even they have held their own, while all other descriptions show a very large increased distribution.
