G. S. Cryne, Robert Lee and Geo.
W. Lee, three residents of Gladstone
and boomers of the West Missouri
country, We're in town on business,
Monday.
Envelopes, note heads, letter heads.

visiting cards and in fact everything
in the printing line neatly and
promptly executed at this office.
Call and examine our work and get
prices.
There is hardly quarter section
of land in Stark county that has not
a vein of superior Ignite coal under
lying it, varying in thickness from
seven to twenty feet. 1t burns as
well and does not make the dirt that
bituminous coal does.
When Vic. Smith puts his gun to
his shoulder something has to drop.
He recently killed nineteen deer in
one day and thirty-eight in three
days. This is feat in hunting
which we have not heard of being
beaten this winter. Vic. is un,loubt-
edly the champion shot of Dakota.
That uncalthly noise the other
night which awoke all the people
within a distance of two blocks, and
caused their hair to stand on end,
was made by Ed. Davis testing his
lung power on a new cornet. Simply
this and nothing more; but this was
enough.
1t is settled. The timber culture
and pre-emption laws will not he re
pealed. ''Resolved that the timber
culture and pre-emption laws should
be repealed was discussed by the
debating club Thursday evening.
q. j. Tamblin. VIM. Gibson and VIM.
Moore spoke on the Affirmative; w.
Starr and August Beisigl on the mega
tive. The chair gave decision i'm
favor of the negative as TO the merits
of the arguments produced. The dis
putants evidently took a great deal of
interest in the discussion and feel
safe in assuring us that the few lis
teners who favored them 10y their
presence will be pleased to come
again. They regret that the spirit of
cooperation on the part of some of
the citizens has been wanting. Hop
ing however that ut the next meeting
they will show their good will by
simply listening to what others have
to say in case they do not wish to
take a rart
The death of Henry Bowles, last
Saturday, caused quite shock to the
community. Coroner Powers was
notified, empanelled jury and held
an inquest OH the body Sunday. Sew
eral witnesses were examined and
Drs. Nc Donald and Stickney held a
post mortem examination, which re-
vealed the fact that his skull was
fractured very badly. One fracture
extended from over the left eye across
the forehead to the right ear, also one
that extended back of the left ear.
The verdict of the jury was that
deceased came to his death by fall
or from a blow OIL the head with Il
hard instrument in the hands of some
unknown person." Since the inquest
parties who were on the train say
that Mr.. Bowles stepped down from
the platform and stumbled pitching
head first into the ditch and this is
generally believed to be the correct
theory of the sad affair. His parents
who reside at West Bangor. N. Y,
were notified and sent word to for
ward the remains there, which was
done on Monday, Services We're held
in tho Eagle Hotel OH Monday after
noon and the remains were followed
to the depot by large number of
sympathising citizens. Henry Bowles
was a young man of good character
and made friends of all with whom
lie became acquainted. His sudden
death is another eXemplification of
the true saying that ''life is lmcer-
tain, death is sure He was an only
son and the bereayed parents have
the sympathy of the entire commun-
ity in their sad loss.
