Up to last night, Mr. Miller had not got home, and Mrs. Miller is naturally distracted at his absence. The missing man is not addicted to drinking, gambling or any bad habit, and this fact, coupled with his domestic happiness, makes his absence the more difficult to account for, leaving the presumption either that in returning home, he was taken sick, or fouly dealth with. Mrs. Miller, several days ago, telegraphed the manager of the hotel at Cincinnati, where her husband stopped, asking if he had left there and when. The reply came that he left for Dallas at 4 o'clock a. m. on the 17th.

     Col. D. A. Williams, prosecuting attorney, takes a deep interest in the movements of the crusaders at Spicardsville, Lathrop, Trenton and other towns in northern Missouri. That ccountry was the colonel's stamping ground in his boyhood. His father founded a town near Spicardsville, in Grundy county many years ago, before the railroads spread network of rails over the country. The town boomed and became a good sized hamlet and a well-known trading point. But, the railroad fever struck the country. A line was built to the north of the prosperous village several miles and it went down like a rocket. In those days, there were live boys in the country district. They drank whiskey, ran horses, were inveterable gamblers, and when they visited a town, it was for the purpose of running it. Now, all is changed. In all country districts, saloons are prohibited by the local option law. That is, they were until a very recent date, when a judge decided that the local option law was null and void in Grundy county owing to some oversight in giving the proper notice of the election. The county court, however, refused to grant dramshop license and club houses and "joints" soon began to flourish. The ladies of the county charged that the officers winked at this lawlessness and made an attack on the saloons in many places, completely demolishing the same. They were arrested and fined, and the Colonel, as well as other Missourians in Dallas, are patiently awaiting new developments in this latest mode of warfare inaugurated by the women of Northern Missouri against an enemy which they regard as the greatest curse ever visited upon humanity.

I won't tell it to you in detail, as I know you will laugh at it. * * * The summer is lovely here, but the winters are tough, often below 25 to 30 degrees, and that's cold.

     Chancellor McLaurin has made known his intention of tendering his resignation, to take effect October 1. The bar of Vicksburg, where the judge is now holding court, drew up a memorial expressing regret at learning of this purpose, and declaring their high opinion of his ability and faithfulness to his duties. The Commercial-Herald says: "Judge McLaurin is truly one of the very best men in the state. He was one of the youngest judicial officers, at date, of appointment Mississippi ever had. He has served seven years as chancellor, and was twice appointed over competitors many years his senior and of distinguished ability as lawyers. He ranks among the foremost of the judicial officers of the state, as the Mississippi supreme court reports will verify. By his pains-taking industry; his fairness toward litigants and his uprightness as a judge, and in his private life, he has endeared himself to all who have had business in his court, or who have had business in his court, or who have met him in private. He leaves this state to take up his residence in Dallas, Texas, where he will resume the practice of law, and by his profound knowledge of the law and his large experience, both as practitioner and judge, he cannot fail of success. Those who know him best will trust him most. He surely has the commendation and best wishes of his people."
