"OBITUARY NOTICE.

When the coroner is in possession of this
paper George f. Graham will be dead and as
little punishment will have been inflicted as
if he had been hanged by legal authorities.
1t is matter Of right to the community and
Justice to humanity that we ignore the law in
this instance. We recognize the fact that
our criminal statutes are not equal to all oc-
casions, therefore we have resolved to re-
move from our midst the worst
criminal that ever visited our country, that
we may hereafter and forever live and be
without his presence and vicious influence.
We heartily welcome all strangers to citizen
ship W no are worthy of it. We give this,
too, as a warning to eX-convicts and murder
ers who may invade our county to impose
upon our credulity. We also give warning
that any person or persons of any rank or
station who dare to discover the actors in this
tragedy will be surely and speedily dispatched
to He'll where all things are revealed to the
curious. In Justice to the memory of Sarah
Graham, loving wife and dear mother,
whose life was sacrificed at the altar of Hecate,
we subscribe ourselves citizens of Greene
county, Missouri. To Sheriff Donnell Keep
your mouth shut. II you reco gnize any of us
you will die the death of dog "
The history of Graham's checkered career
and cruelty is too fresh in the minds of the
public to need repetition.

fine walks and drives, all Of which
add to the deslrability of the village
as a summer resort, either for health
or pleasure.
There are many beautiful residences
about the village that indicate wealthy
and successful occupants. The busi-
ness blocks are in keeping with the
prosperity of the place. The village
has a system of water works that is a
financial and economic bonanza, the
water flowing from an artesian well,
and are now sinking another to add to
their facilities. There are two news

reason to fear. All along the route
we were joined by members of the

Skipped by the Light Of the Moon. p

Fowler & Warrington's famous

gagged by Manager Paul M. Roth to
present the great farcical comedy,
"Skipped by the Light Of the Moon,"
on the evening of Aug. nth and 18th
during the Soldiers and Sailors Re.
union to be held at that time. This
piece, which is the funniest Of all
funny plays, has been witnessed by
enormous audiences in all of the
principal cities in America from New
York to San Francisco, and Manager
Roth has shown good judgment in
securing an attraction that will afford
our visiting friends, as well as our
citizens, much pleasure and add to
the attractions of Owosso during the
reunion. The Detroit Free Press
thus speaks of this laughable play:
"Skipped by the Light of the
Moon,' is the title for play that
seems to be somehow suggestive Of
more fun than wilderness of monk
eys.' AT the beginning of the per-
formance last night the ladies of
the audience, vaguely conscious of
the prim proprieties to which they
are used, stuffed their pretty little
white handerkerchiefs into their
pretty little mouths; but they soon
yielded to the inevitable, and before
the second act ended they were break
ing their bonnet strings and gasping
