Brennan the Baker

Says in regard to this -four question: It
can be settled much easier than the tariff
question. Now the question is, who has
the best fourl Of course the baker who
uses the best flour makes the best New
England Bread. But remember, it is not
genuine unless Brennan is printed on the
wrapper. Now, Brennan will open one
barrel of his best, and let one barrel of
the so called Niagara -four be- opened, If
his best -four is not much whittier, stronger
and purer than the Niagara -four, he is
perfectly willing to forfeit his barrel of
best. Brennan having been born in a
cake and pies, ought to know good -four
from poor.

will Get Her Money.

| Mr.. j. Fl. Mason, of Macon City,
was in town Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week looking after the
proofs of Mr.. u. b. Cooks death,
which occurred about a year ago,
Jan. 25. Mr.. Cook was member
of the order of Maccabees and his
widow at his death was entitled to
$1,000 insurance on his life.
Some irregularities in the reports
of Kirksvllle Tent caused this in
surance to be withheld from the
widow, and suit at law to recover
the amc unit was threatened. Mr..
Mason's thorough investigation of
the books and records of the Tent
developed the fact that the Su-
preme Lodge was in no way to
blame for Withholding the money.
If the Supreme Lodge had paid
this death loss on the meagre proof
that had been furnished it would
have shown at once that the bust
ness was conducted in loose and
unsafe manner. The way in which
the lodge has conducted the bust
ness should receive the hearty ap-
proval of every Knight.
The fact is the proofs which
should have been in the hands of
the Supreme Lodge have been ly-
ing in Kirksville for months.
Now that Mr.. Mason, who is
thorough gentleman, has made
close and painstaking investiga-
ton of the books and records and
found them all correct, he will
make proper report of same to the
Grand Lodge, and there is little
doubt that Mrs. Cook will be
promptly paid.

Queen City Notes.

Fire! The citizens of Queen City
were aroused last Sunday morning
between the hours of twelve and
one o'clock by the cry of fire.
Your correspondent was among
the first to arrive at the post-office
building which was the scene of
the couhagration. Buckets, lad
der, bountiful supply of water
and plenty of willing hands extin-
guished the flames before they
did much damage. The cause of
the fire is unknown, but if it was
of 1ncendiary origin, rs many sup
pose, it was undoubtedly set with
the intention of burning the main
portion of the business houses of
Queen City. If it had not been
discovered and got under control
before it gained much Roadway
the amount of damage done would
have been inestimable. The
whole west side of the square
would have oeen burned together
with large number of the dwell
ings in the northwest part of town.
Tie Transcript Office, which is
situated in the rear part of the
post-ofice building. is almost a
complete wreck. The office furni-
ture was badly burned and in the
excitement during the fire almost
all the type in the office was pied.
Only printer can realize the
shape the office is in.
Valentine Day passed off peace
ably in Queen City, no fights or
other forms of amusement were
INDUCED in. Your correspondent
was the recipient of four "beau-
ties" in which he was respectively
named masher, dude, ape and
wind-bsg, great combination to
be possessed By one poor human
being.
There is talk of appointing Joe
Roberts night-Watch as he seems
especially fitted for that position.
Though some say he would not be
on his beat much of the time.
