Burglary at Benton.

Sunday night the saloon of G. F.
Bonnefon and the general store Of
Jumbo Reeder were entered by bur-
glars. The burglars had entered the
blacksmith shop and secured tools
with which to pry open the door,,
A sledge hammer was found in the
saloon next morning. Evidently the
burglars had intended to demolish
the safe and cash register, but as
these had been left open it was not
necessary. The register contained
about two dollars in nickels and
dimes, but the safe was empty.
Not being satisfied with this
water haul" the burglars next en-.
tered Reeder's store. Here they got
aplated prize watch and some shirts,
In all they did not get more than ter
or twelve dollars worth.
The next morning Deputy Sheriff
Henderson tracked them to below
Blodgett, where they took to the
woods. John McAuliff and brother
who have been laboring in this neigh
borhood, are missing and the author

The Social club failed to meet with
the success it deserved, as regards
its big ball, rs it looked like the
weather fiend had turned loose all
the vials of wrath that he possessed
or ever expects to possess. The roads
were covered with water in every
direction and it kept raining. Not
withstanding this fact, however,
there were enough ladies present to
compose two or three sets and about
twenty or twenty-five young men,
who deserve credit for making a
turnout in such a stress of weather.
Among those present from surround

Stricken Editor.

A recent issue of the Texas from

the memory of Mrs. Spinner, the
talented wife of the editor. He
says freely.
'Thus my wife died. No more will

An Ugly AFFAIR.

About 4 o'clock Tuesday evening
the citizens of Sikeston were dis
turbed by pistol shots. 1t seems
that Ben. Marshall, son of John Mar
shall, Sr., was under the influence of
drink and was quarreling with Thos.
N. Myers, Jr., in front of McCoys
store.
About the first thing that attract.
ed attention was a pistol in the
hands of young Marshall, who fired
at Myers. Myers clinched, took the
pistol from him and fired shot
also. Neither shot took effect. The
only serious damage was done tt
Marshall, who was severely beaten
up by Myers. We understand that
the affair is the result of an OLD
grudge.

head of the family began dishing out
the vegetables, and turning to the
guest said:
Twill you have some of the little

TOO MUCH DECEPTION.
The Ring Has Bit off More thar
1T Can Possibly Chew.

1T Can Possibly Chew.
"You can fool all of the people a
part of the time, and part of the
people all the time, but you cannot
fool all the people all the time"
We believe it was Abraham Lin
coin who made the above declaration
and it is our opinion that the Scott
county ring is beginning to fully re-
alize the truthfulness of it.
The old ring is on its last legs.
They are becoming both frantic and
desperate, They stop at nothing.
Whiskey, religion, money, falsehood
and deception is their stock in trade,
and all are being used, separately or
collectively, as they see fit.
Unfortunately for them their
''jobs" are not panning out we'll.
Their latest attempted deception in
bringing out G. N. Welch, of Ty-
wappity, against Judge Evins has
resulted disastrously. The people of
the first district are dead onto their
game. They want to defeat the
present county court and elect one
that will be more favorable to them.
They also want to retain the present
prosecuting attorney because a more
asinine tool for their purpose could
not be unearthed. In this way they
hope to be able to withdraw the
suit of the county against Leftwich
before a decision can be reached.
We do not wish to be understood
as charging that either Mr.. Hale OF
Mr.. Welch would lend themselves to
such a scheme. These men were
brought out by the ring and are ig'
norant of the fact that, if elected
they will be expected to dance to the
music as arranged by the dictators
At present neither Mr.. Hale nor Mr..
Welch know why they were sostrong
ly urged by our "leading citizens
to become candidates, unless theil
eyes have been opened by the people
We have it upon good authority that
when Mr.. Hale was approached
about his candidacy he said he had
been solicited by some of our best
men. When asked to name some o.
them he remarked that he had beer
solicited by Jim Allen, VIM. Hunter
MIR. Leftwich, ct. al.
| Unfortunately for Mr.. Welch he i.
not politician and innocently ex
hibited o letter from VIM. Hunter
urging his candidacy. 1t is alst
known that on the day of the count,
convention Mr.. Welch and ]. E. Mar
shall were closeted in Judge 'LeedyI
Office for about an hour, and that af
ter the caucus Mr.. Welch declared
himself a candidate.
The people of Tywappity township
are indignant. Said one: "Whel
the people OF Tywappity want t.
bring out candidate they will do so
We don't need those fellows up a
Benton to do it for us. They ar
not in our district, much less in ou
township. We knew nothing of Mr.
Welch's candidacy until he announcer
it himself, and l do not believe thai
he consulted, or was solicited by ,
man in our township. We under
stand it all and our people will vot
for EyinS ~
