KEYTEsvILLE MISSOURI FRIDAY, JULY Ia, 1899.
Bankruptcy.

1t is with regret that we chronicle
this week the failure of one of Keytes-
ville's popular business houses. Her
bert White who for several years has
carried nice stock of gents furnish
ing goods, has failed in business, and
this week goes into voluntary bank
ruptcy.
His failure is due in part to carry
ing larger stock of goods than the
trade of the town demands, failure
to collect accounts for which goods
were sold on credit, system of busi-
ness which frequently results in disas-
ter to both debtor and creditor. and
the ruinously low prices at which a
bankrupt stock of goods were recently
sold in town and which defed all
honest competition.
We are glad to learn the assets ex-
ceed the liabilities, and 1t Is hoped
there will be no loss to creditors in
winding up the business.
Herbert White was born and reared
in keytesvllle, and we know of no
young man who has more friends here
than he, all of whom believe his failure
in business is owing to circumstances
over which, of late, he has had no
control.
Many a merchant who later in life
became safe and reliable business
man had to break one or more times
before he learned the secret of success.
Herbert White is yet young man,
and being possessed of a genial dispo-
ton, sober, industrious. energetic,
with close application to business has
time enough to retrieve his loss. He
did not quit business because he was
compelled to do SO, but could not.
with the poor prospects in view, see
his way out, and closed up voluntarily,
hoping that at the most only light
loss would be sustained T6y MS credi-
tors.
Mr.. White is a young man whose
ambition to succeed will not stop with
this misfortune, but will, in the future,
continue to struggle for prominence
in business circles. and whatever he
may do, wherever he may go he GER
tainly has the full commentator and
good wishes of the COURIER and the
citizens of Keytesville and vicinity,

Know or Not to Know
When the time appointed for the

as a consequence there was a rather
small turnout; the lecture, however,
vas both instructive and entertaining,
and showed considerable thought and

q The major read his lecture from
snanuscript, and was at some disad-
Vantage because cold and hoarseness
Prevented as plain articulation as
IS usual with him. His treatment of
the subject under consideration gave

about, and was greatly enjoyed by all
present. We have heard only words

Struck by lightning.

Wednesday morning during the
thunder storm, while Allen Jackson
was enjoying his morning nap his
house was struck by lightning which
went down through the roof following
the wall into the ground doing but
little damage. The paper along the
wall was considerably scorched and
ignited in several places. jackson n
says he was pretty badly scared and
thought the house was torn all to
pieces. When the shock came he
b3unded out of bed and rushed out
of doors IN @eSha6iIle disregarding
as customs of elite society. The
5sId rain, however, soon reminded
iiafT1 that il was necessary foT him TO
observe the American custom of
wearing clothes outside of 4 statuary
museum, and he rushed back in the
house as quickly as he came out.

A letter written to DR.. G. NJ. Dewey
by James Taylor, who is now at St.
Johns hospital, St. Louis, with his

was performed last Sunday on Mrs.
Taylor, removing large tumor. The
operation was a very successful
one and Mrs. Taylor is getting along
splendidly. Barring comPli cations
that may arise Mrs. Taylor will
return home entirely well in few
weeks, and all her friends in this
community join us in wishing tha
these hopes will be fully realized.

Rev. B. w. N. Simms, who has
been suffering for sometime with
something like spinal meningitis, has,
we are glad to announce, improved
sufficiently to be up and on the streets
again. He is yet very weak and
requires assistance in getting about,
but with little proper care will be
himself again. Mrs. Simms will
probably take him to Randolph
Springs, Saturday, where he will try
the salt baths OF that resort. We
feel assured that Rev. Simms will
return in a week or ten days entirely
cured and as strong as ever.

81. Herring of nine miles south OF
Keytesville lost his barn and contents
by fire, Monday night The barn
contained about two tons of hay. all
of Mr.. Herring's harness, saddles and
some machinery, besides over 500
bushels of shelled corn. Mr.. Herring
thinks the origin of the fire was the
work of an incendiary, as no fire or
matches had been used about the
barn Mr.. Herring seems to have
been particularly unfortunate in this
respect. as he lost a fine barn two
years ago by lightning.

SCALING DOWN PAY.

MADRID.-Great indignation has
been caused here by the publication of
dispatches from Barcelona and other
seaports to the effect that the soldiers
returning home from Cuba and Porto
Rico are receiving offers of the immed-
late payment of a quarter of their ar
rears of pay in return for a receipt for
the full amount due to them. The Gov
eminent officials who have been ques-
toned about the matter insist that if
such offers have been made it has been
due to dishonesty on the part Of the
army pay department. But the Gov
eminent is displaying so great reluct-
ance to make any definite announce
ment about the matter that it is be-
heved that the offer has been made on
behalf of the Government, the latter
being unable, even with the money
just obtained by means of a royal de-
cree, to pay the arrears in full.
