A SOLDIER BOY.
Rufus e. Longan Gets the Prize
With r. Perry Spencer as
Alternate.

Examinations for Wsst Point ap-
pointment were held at the office of
Superintendent Smith, Saturday. The
appointment is to fill a vacancy from
this congressional district.
There were eleven applications for
the appointment. Three of these
failed to pass the physical examine
ton, which is very rigid.
The mental qualifications Of the
remaining eight were examined by
Superintendent Smith and Prot.
CRUDE, of the Missouri Valley col
lege at Marshall.
The examination consisted of ques-
tons upon the common branches only.
Rufus f. LOngan carried off the
best grade. making a mark Of 81,
with r. Perry Spencer, close second,
with mark Of Sc. Longan therefore
gets the appointment and Spencer is
the alternate.
Last year LOngan was an alternate
and passed the final examination for
admission to the military academy,
but was outranked in grade. He Is
physically as near perfect as they
make them and will consequently get
the place. Spencer, the alternate,
fell below Longan only in written
grammar.
The appolntee, Longan, is a school
teacher and his home is in the coun-
try near Sedalia. Spencer is a resi-
dent of Windsor.
Longan will proceed to West Point
at once as he will confront the final
examining board at the academy and
be admitted June 3. The young man
may well feel proud of the laurels he
won Saturday and as he is
bright and energetic, he will
doubtless reflect credit upon him.
self, his state and his country.
In five years, barring misfortune,
he will graduate from the academy
with the rank of End lieutenant in
the United States Army.

A BLACK DESPERATE.
Bad Abe Emmerson and City
Policemen Have a Running
Fight With Many Shots
Exchanged.

Black Abe Emmerson is holy ter
ror when he gets full. He was full
last night about six o'clock, and took
possession of West Main street. He
fiourished a big revolver and made
life burden to all the people neal
him.
Constable Gossage started after him
armed with a state warrant. But
three of the city constabulary. Officers
Scally. Eglebrceht and Wilfong, were
already trying to corral the black
fiend. These officers attempted to
apprehend him but he turned on them
with his revolver and began firing,
forcing the officers to hunt shelter,
though they returned the fire, but
without effect. A shot from Emmer-
sons revolver struck boy named
Martin. but did no serious damage as
good luck would have it.
After empting his revolver Emmer-
son started to run and it was a lively
chase to the gas works
where Emmerson soon bar
ricaded himself behind a pile of
debris. From this place he was dis
lodged by one or two well aimed shots
from Officer Eglebrecht's revolver.
Emmerson next sought shelter in a
frame shanty near by. Officer Scally
procured a Winchester and after he
fired one shot into the shanty, Emmer-
son concluded that he would best throw
up the sponge and he came out and
gave himself up.
1t was with some difficulty that the
officers landed the black desperate in
the county Jail. He was frenzied
with whisky and rage and his stub
bornness and great strength were
something to overcome.
Emmerson was given hearing be-
fore Judge Fisher Saturday and was
sent to Jail five DAYS upon the charge
of CARRYING concealed weapons and
was held in bond of $500 to await the
action of the grand jury on the charge
of telonious assault. Emmerson will
be unable to give the bond and will
have TO lie in Jail pending the investl-
CATION of the grand jury.

THAT LETTER
Which Gave the Boonville Girl
An linking of the Scoundrel
She Was About to Wed.

In the Boonville case wherein Miss
Derringer was deserted by a scamp
named Blanchard, it will be remem-
bered that he was discovered TO be a
married man by the finding of a letter
from his wife at Pilot Grove. No..
where he had been stopping and which
he had lost.
The letter is dated at Chillicothe,
Mich, is well written and Is full of
wifely love and devotion and breathes
in every line her affection and trust
in the man whose name she bears. 1t
is as follows:
My DEAR HUsBAND:-I will take
the time to write once more. / re-
ceived your letter yesterday and of
course was glad to hear from YOU. but
thought you felt a little cross, while
you were writing. You must not rail
at our having family, for they are
the beauty Of a household and as for
my finding fault with you, because |
have no home, have | not been rs
patient as any woman could be,
There is not one in a thousand that
would stay here with my family and
in my condition. l have not mar-
INJURED nor complained and as for nv
good sense or bad. | must say | have
as good as you, for all that l have 10
suffer there is not a soul hears me say
that my lot is hard, and as for YOU
not coming home | was disappointed
and as a husband YOU ought to be
glad to have me that way than
not. Six months Is a long time
for a man and his family
to be separated and the time
does drag very heavily, as | can't get
around very much. Although | was
down town yesterday, cannot 20
anymore until after my confinement,
which l expect to be the last of Sep
TENDER, but may happen before, the
sooner the better. You said YOU were
surprised that l had not got any loose
wrappers yet, why. Charlie, you must
think me fool. / have made As good
an appearance as | ever did and |
never had As many clothes a. | have
now. but | wanted cooler dress than
| had and which | now have. You
speak altogether too personal. but YOU
don't think of it or YOU would not. i
do not fight with your family, not be-
cause | could not, but because | have
a little good sense. let everyone pad
die their own canoe is very good
plan.
lam not so conceited that think lam
perfect and that always do right, no
more than anyone else. Well 1 have
your letter as near as |
could, so don't find fault with it. l
am feeling as smart as l can. The
boys are both feeling better. Fred
spends his time playing horse, plow-
ing and making hay while little Char
ley catches butterflies. He runs and
gets almost to them with his little
hand and then the butterfly flies
away. So you see how this little
darling does improve and do YOU for
4 moment think, l could say am
in the way am when l can't help it
and when l look at my little boys,
md see how hard l work for them,
not once do l regret it. When l look
It my little clothes l love them. l
