day, Dec. 2i, contains the following
special dispatch:
KANSAS CITY, No, December 20
Miss Bessie Sims, who Is 81 years old
and the daughter of Judge James E,
Sims, of CANT, Audrain county, Mo-,
eloped last night with Hardin Rixey,
the 1s-year-old son Of a prominent
merchant of Mexico, Mo.
The young people came to Kansas
City at once and before they succeeded
in getting the knot tied they had gone
through the lIveliest experience OF
their lives. II was late in the evening
when the couple arrived in Kansas
City and, as they were not acquainted
with the town, they hunted up a rela-
tive of the boys, Charles Chambliss,
late q Sergeant in the Fifth Missouri
Volunteers.
Then the party started out to get q
marriage license. Before they could
locate the Recorder Of Deeds 1t was
midnight. He at fret refused to Issue
the license, but was finally persuaded
70 W So AAbH wv uCoASh Iva mAh
lster began. The young people bad
been journeying about town on the
street cars and before they could fnd
any one to marry them the street cars
stopped running, leaving them about
three miles out in the residence dis
trict.
Some one directed them TO the home
OF Justice Ross and while on their
way there afoot the party was held up
by a footpad. While the latter was
preparing to rob them young Rlxey
showed fight and was knocked down
and severely pounded by the highway
man. Then all hands pitched In and
the highwayman was worsted and
driven away. At $3.50 O'Clock this
morning Justice Ross married the
young people and late this afternoon
they left for Mexico to seek the par
entail forgiveness.

SUCCESSFUL business men arrange
for their advertising just the same as
they do for their rent, clerk hire, light
and other necessary expenses. Sue
cessful advertisers keep everlastingly
at 1t and advertise during the dull
season of the year, when they can get
better positions for their ADVERTISE
ments. The wise merchant is the one
who contracts with his local paper for
space by the year. 1t is not necessary
that he should use advertisements Of
the same size throughout the twelve
months because the exigencies Of the
several compel him to increase
his space at one time or other in order
to do justice to his business. he
should, however, keep his name and
his store continually before the eyes
of his constituency, no matter how
small that constituency may be.
