Increased Land Values.

letter from John A. Lee, formerly county
clerk of this county, now clerk in the state
auditors Office at Jefferson City, to the
Charlton county court gives the information
that the state board of equalization, now in
session at the state capital, has increased the
valuation of Charlton county lands Is
per cent. over the valuation made by the
township assessors for the year 1894. Mr..
Lee states that he made the best argument
he could against such increase, but on invss-
tigation found that Carroll county lands
were assessed az an averdge Of $10-23 per
acre; Randolph, sS 63, and Howard county
1919.
The average assessment of Charlton coun-
ty lands for said year is 1928, and after de-
Quoting 100000 acres of swamp lands at
81 20 per acre the state board of equaliza-
tion still thought the average in the county
too low and raised il ! per cent which will
make the average $7.I6 per acre in
this county.
The total value of lands in Charlton coun
ty as shown by the assessors books for S94
is SO. 622 .921. his amount increased Is
per cent. will place the assessed land values
Of our county at 81, ,066, ,259.15.

KEYTESvILLE. MISSOURI, FRIDAY MARCH 49, 1894.
Was He Kidnapped

We take the following from the
Moberly Democrat OF Tuesday,
March 18th:
Roy Thomas, son OF w. A. Thorn.
as, was sitting in his fathers home,
917 West Rollins street, at about
9:30 last night. he had been play
ing With some trinkets which he had
saved up. He had about $1.5O in a
drawer. He took this out and Mre.
Thomas told him TO place what
change he had in his pocket back
with it. He did not do this but
placed twenty cents in his clothing.
He left the room and returned di.
rectly. He told his mother that
there were three men out in the yard.
Her reply was that he must be
mistaken. Roy went outside again
and has not been seen since. The
police were notified and made a
diligent search. looking the remain
der OF the night. The neigbors were
aroused and they also assisted in
looking for him. No one saw any
thing Of any strange men.
Roy was 13 years OF age on Dec.
"a. de IL small for his age. he
wore a light cap and coat and dark
blue knee pants He has light hair
and eyes. He had not spoken to
anyone about leaving so far as
known. He has been selling the St
Louis papers aroGnd town.
Frank Welty passed the Thomas
residence last night and was surpris-
ed when he saw Roy jump mp from
fence corner in the yard. Roy told
him that he bad seen three men
come out of the wood shed.
Mr.. Thomas thinks that his boy
did not run away. Ii he had he
would not have put the 81 80 back
in the drawer and retained but 20
cents. He was also in good spirits
during the day and had never been
crossed.
Many people suspect the gang OF
6ypsfcs, who havesbeen camping
east Of town for several weeks, and
who moved this morning, know
something about the boy. They
were reported to be on the road
northeast of town, travelling rapidly
east this forenoon.
Thomas is the only 10y that is
known to he missing.

any of her boy pupils who smoked
cigarettes, when up went several
hands. The bender OF young ideas
expressed surprise and administered
a gentle reprimand TO the youthful
cigarette fiends, whereupon one OF
them suggested that she inquire II
there were any of the girls that
smoked cigarettes. The same ques-
ton was then asked the girls and
the teacher almost tainted when
three or four Of the girls also raised
their hands. None OF these boys
and girls who smoke cigarettes are
over 13 years of age and some of
them are several years younger. A

will do the most good, is evidently

A BATTLE WITH A MANIAC.

No ultc CHARACTERIZATION "d> CIV
ated in the vicinity of Bell school
house last Wednesday morning. Ben
K. Bell, a young man of that neigh
borhood, has been confined in the st.
Joseph insane asylum several differ
ent times, but would obtain tempor-
ary relief from treatment at that in
stitution and return home.
About ten days ago it was noticed
that his mind was again becoming
unbalanced. and it was expected that
arrangements would soon be made
to again send him to the asylum. In
the mean time he was being cared
for at home.
Last Tuesday night his brother,
Walter, and Tom Coleman stayed
all night with Ben, and the next
mornisg the two fret named young
men went over to the formers
brother-in-law's, George Mackay'e.
to get their breakfast. leaving Ben
locked in the house.
Ben's breakfast was taken over to
him by Lilburn Coleman, a youth
about Is years OF oge, from George
Mackay's and when young Coleman
reached the house in which Ben Bell
had been left, he (Coleman) unlocked
the door, and as he did so
Bell took after him with an iron
poker, seemingly imbued with the
impression that Coleman had locked
him up in the house. As soon as Cole
man saw Bell with the deadly poker
and was made aware OF his deter
mination TO kill him. Coleman took
to bis heels with Bell in hot pursuit.
After running about $50 yards with
Bell after him Coleman turned and
told Bell he (Coleman) didn't intend
to run any further. Bell then. with
the uplifted poker, approached and
struck Coleman a blow over the eye.
and raised the weapon to strike him
ngafn. put Coleman lodged and in
the swing of the poker after missing
Coleman, Bell fell to the ground,
when Coleman rushed upon him and
succeeded in wrestling the weapon
from his grasp and dealt him three
blows with it over the head, infiict-
ing painful scalp wounds, which
seemed to have the effect of pound
ing Bell into partial Submission and he
was finally gotten back to the house
and again locked up. Coleman then
went back To George Maekay's 10
notify Walter Bell and Tom Coleman
Of what had happened.
On their return to the house where
Ben had been left it was found that
be had broken up all the dishes. had
killed two cats that were in the
house, had torn nearly all of the
from his body, and had a
sheet wrapped around his head,
which was bathed in blood from the
effects of the telling blows dealt by
young Coleman with the iron poker.
The unfortunate young man was
brought to keytesville. and present
ed a sad plight indeed with the
blood-staioed sheet wrapped about
his head and blood smeared over his
lace. To this spectacle add his raw
ings and more pitiable scene
could scarcely be depicted.
Bell was lodged in jail where his
were dressed by Drs. &. NJ.
Dewey and W. X. Hawkins.
he will be sent TO the asylum in n
few days.
