Just then Henri passed through the

Hendricks nodded after him as he dis
appeared.

no good,

Fred Rausch has a force of carpen- ters at work building hlm home at the foot of College Hill which, when completed, will be unique, attractive and very comfortable. It is an old style log house. Many citizens of this city, taken with the rustic and historic appearance of the numerous log houses which make the comfortable homes of so many citizens of this county, have talked of building such home on a larger scale but Mir. Rausch is the first to undertake it. After the fire, which destroyed his home on Sherwood ave- nue two weeks ago, Mir. Rausch and wife moved into little log house on some land he owned at the foot of College Hill. To this little house ad- ditions are being made, and modern improvements and conveniences are being added to make it large double log house with the interior finished after the fashion of modern city res- idence. The work will be completed within few weeks and then the old log house in the park will not be the only one in town.

A Bad Scare.

The fire bell rang out in all it's fury about 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. As the citizens rushed out in response it seemed. judging from the immense amount of smoke pouring up from the buildings at the corner of Sherwood avenue and De Queen street, that de structive fire was under big headway The fire boys made quick run. and upon arrival it was discovered to be a tub of tar on fire back of Pat Null raney's saloon, The honors for extin- gushing the burning liquid are divided between a chemical fire extinguisher in the hands of c. B. Neal, and a bucket of water thrown into it oy A. l.. Abbott.
 A couple of workmen were engaged in boiling the tar preparatory to put ting it on the roof of the Mulraney saloon and allowed their fire to get too hot, setting the tar on fire. 1t was making furious blaze and was dan gerously near the building.
 About a year ago the town had a narrow escape from a serious fire by the same kiud of an accident

CHAs. A. MCGEE. lice Surgeon Man ahan applied the usual remedies and succeeded after five hours hard work, in saving the unfortunate mans life.
 "McGee came here Thursday morning from Sedalia and intended returning home yesterday afternoon. Thursday night he went to the New Albany ho- tel and for some unacccuntable reason registered under the name of Charles H. Alexander of Sedalia. Yesterday morning he took large dose of nor phine with suicidal intent. The rash act was prompted by financial reverses. Before he took the drug McGee wrote note to his wife on the leaves of a little memorandum, in which he sad he could not longer bear up under his troubles and requesting her to give thelr children good education with the life insurance money she would re- ceive. McGe.- said in his note that he had made a bal business bargain in removing to Sea lia and that he saw DO way out of his fnanial difficulties.
 "McG..e had lived in Kansas City and was at one time engaged in run ming small furniture store at 16ls West Ninth street. It has been only a few weeks since he removed to Sedalia and he came here Thursday to settle up some business matters. McGee is a mem Der of Western State lodge No. lo9. Knights of Pythias, of the city. He says he also belongs to the A. o. U, ". and that he carries $4, poo life insur- ance in the two orders"
 To this history it might be added that after closing out his business here which was successful, although not so much but that Mir. McGee, with his changable disposition and energy, thought he could improve upon it. he went to Joplin, Mo-, and opened fur niture store. He only stayed there few weeks, when he moved his stock to Carthage. Mo- In as short time he closed out there and went back to Kansas City and began the study of Spanish with the view of going to Mexico to take charge of some mines there. He gave that up and went to Sedalia. Each change had brought financial loss, and the last one placed him where he saw nothing but ruin.
 MT. McGee has many friends in this city who regret his misfortunes. He was an energetic, upright, public-spir- that since recovering from his rash act he will again take hold and battle with his troubles and win a victory over them.
