SOME OLD BIBLES.

Notices are going the rounds of the
country press to the effect that the
two oldest Bibles in Missouri are to
be found at Harrisonville-oneh having
been printed in 1898 and the other in
1852.
These may be ancient publications
to other parts of the State, bat to Mo-
berly they are very modern issues of
the Holy Book. Rev. DIR. ]. B. Briney,
pastor of the Central Christian Church
in that city, is the fortunate possessor
of a couple of Bibles himself. BY re-
ferring to them one can give the Har-
risonville Bibles short season of $50
years and then beat them several
notches. One of DIR. Briney's Bibles,
published in the Greek language, was
printed in 1920, and the other, publish
ed in Latin. in 15sS. B
R. d. Dunbar, of this city, is the
proud possessor of an English Bible
which is now about 200 years old.

turn Enlargement In 1897.

The "Girl From Frisco" company
which was TO have shown at the Opers
House last evening is. no doubt, one o
the funniest and most laughable enter
tainments even given in this city. Last
nights entertainment was, 10 fact, one
laugh from beginning TO the end, but
that one laugh az at the expense OF the
audience and was, perhaps, enjoyed more
by some Of the members OF the company
than il was by the disappointed audience.
The company has been heralded from
town to town ever since 10 struck the
peninsula as one OF a thousand and the
people OF Hancock and Houghton went
wild over the performance. In fact, the
people OF the latter town we're 30 taken
up with the company that they were
royalty entertained at the clubhouse.
When il was announced that a CON-
pany OF such ability and such side split
ting propensities would be here. the peo-
pie began to prepare week or so ago
for a good laugh, but whatever laugh
ing was done over last nights show
was all on the quiet and the many
funny things In the entertainment will
never be known here.
Ii seems that the company had not re-
ceived any pay for few weeks back and
the two leading ladies informed the man.
ager that they would not go on the
stage last evening until they received
their wages due. The head OF the CON-
pany, Mr.. Davis, was not here and the
m an in change was at loss as tn what
10 do. He didn't have any money him.
cell aud therefore could not very well set
tie the accounts.
The members OF the troupe wanted to
divide the proceeds OF the entertainment
evenly and the amount to apply on their
salaries, but they could not come TO an
agreement and 80 decided not to give
performance. Manager Cuddihy. OF the
Opera house. used every influence he
could to bring about an amicable under.
standing and give the show, bat it was
all 10 vain.
The company messed good thing by
not showing here, as the reserved seat
sale was very good. Five members OF
the company lett on the morning train
on their way to New York and the re-
msinder OF the troupe is still here unde-
cided as to what TO do. The leading
lady stated that il was simply a matter
OF business with her. Her salary was
long past due and the whereabouts OF
the manager was to her a mystery. She
says that she did not press him for her
pay down the road as they did not have
good audiences, but here they were TAX
ing in good money and she thought she
needed her salary and if she could not
get it she would not do any more acting,
and she will now have a chance to start
Tor that millionaire lover OF hers, one
reads about, at San Francisco.

John Williams Nearly
Succumbs to As
phyxiation.
Left the Coal Stove Door Open
The Damper In the Pipe Being Closed
There Wac No Exit for he Gas
Hut the Open stove Door.

John Williams, clerk employed at tn,
store OF the Wertin estate and residing
in rooms in the Isaacson building across
the street, had narrow escape from
death last night by asphyxiation and
his condition is still precarous, although
the attending physician thinks it is very
probable that he will pull through. Al
noon today he had not recovered con,
seriousness.
1t seems that Williams occupied the
front room on the second floor OF the
building and that the parlor is connec ed
with bis room v door. In the parlor
in large coal stove aud Williams, on re-
firing for the night was in the habit OF
opening the door into the parlor so as
to keep bis room warm. This morning
when he was called for breakfast there
was no answer and, aftsr time, one OF
the servants noticing a strong smell OF
gas in the hall, decided that something
was wrong and decided to investigate
When the door into the parlor was
opened the coal gas that came out OF the
room was enough to suffocate person.
Williams was found in bed almost dead
and in state OF inconsistencies. DR..
Mcleod was summoned and did what
he could to bring his patient back to
consciousness.
1t 10 supposed that Williams had left
the front door OF the coal stove open as
the night was not particularly cold
one and as the damper in the pipe was
found to have been closed tight, there
was no other exit for the gas but through
the front door OF the stove.
DR.. Mcleod said this morning that II
be had been allowed to remain in the
room for another hour be would haze
been dead, and as it is, he had an exceed
ingly close call.

silver still Advancing.

New York, Oct 20.-The rrice of
bar silver in London rose 3-lSd to day
to 27sd, and in New York the price
rose &c, to 594, This carries the price
above the rally Of September 20 when
it went to 274d in London and 53l in
New York. Today's price Of silver
has not been equaled since July 81,
when it was n 7l6d in London and
59g in New York. The present
strength of silver is attributed to va.
rious causes. There is at present a
good mintag5 demand in London and
there is also some covering of specu a
tive short sales. This is cour led
with present scarcity Of supply.
The Indian demand for silver also
continues good.
