Missouri Laws in Brief

We notice in the press reports sent
out from Jefferson City that the joint
committee on code revision have de-
Iivered to Secretary of State Lesueur
the first copy of the revised statutes of
1900. 1t is understood that the new
code Will contain more than 1000
pages and will be issued in two vol
umes. 1t Is difficult for the average
citizen to understand the magnitude
and Importance of the labor incurred
in compiling theIstatutes OF the I'M
perial state of Missouri. 1t is safe to
say that the legislative cost alone was
not less than $500. .ooo Since the
adjournment OF the Legislature. May

seven Of the house OF representatives.
constituting the Joint committee, have
been laboring necessarily upon the
construction OF this great work 1t
has required of them almost 100 days
of constant labor to bring this work to
a successful termination
From those high in authority we
learn that this will go into history as
the most perfect revision that the
code of Missouri has ever had.
The road laws. which are of the
greatest importance to the public in
general and farmers in particular.
have undergone a change that is al
most revolutionary. The school
laws, in which every person should
take the utmost interest. have been
changed and amended almost beyond
recognition. In fact, the law has
been changed from beginning to end.
However. the new code is so COM
pie te in its simplicity that any intell-
gent person can easily comprehend it
and without trouble ascertain his
rights under the laws OF Missouri.
Aside from the general laws, the code

The Centralia Fire.

H l.. Sneed. the senior proprietor
of the eed-Richardson Drug Co.,
spent Sunday at Cenualia, his old
home, and makes the following report
Of the big fire at that place last Thurs
day:
The fire broke out about 10
O'Clock a. m. in some mysterious man
ner in Bryson's livery stable, in which
there were at least 60 head of horses
(the Centralia fair being on), lot of
hay, corn, harness. vehicles, etc.
Forty head of the horses were burned,
and many OF the others which broke
loose or were cut loose had not been
found up to last Sunday. Only few
vehicles were removed from the build
ing and some Of those were afterward
burned up in the street.
From Bryson's livery stable the fire
spread 10 a blacksmith shop and
Rulen's livery stable, thence TO the
Merchants hotel, and also con-
sumed a brick billiard hall adjoining
the hotel
On the east side Of the street from
where the fire originated, two black
smith shops, an implement building
and five dwelling houses were con-
sumed.
The total loss is estimated at $Ioo,-
600 with but a small amount of inSur-
anCe.

An Alleged Editor Slapped

The editor of the CoURIEK stated
sometime ago that personal differ
ences with our contemporary would
hereafter be settled on personal
grounds and not through the columns
of the COURIER. True to our deter
mination We slapped ]. B. Dameron
last Monday, and made him blush on
one side of his face. at least. for the
first time in his life, perhaps. The
trouble arose over the attack a thIev-
ing photographer made on US last
week through the sheet of which Dam
eron has the lofty honor to be the edi-
tor. We take the position that a
newspaper which espouses the cause
of or opens It's columns to a self-con-
fessed thief to abuse reputable news
papers, which have dutifully exposed
a swindler and fraud, is no better than
the thief himself. There were no ar
rests growing out of Mondays melee,
so it is presumed that the authorities
prefer that way Of settling editorial
differences to disgusting the public
with them in the papers.

A Social and Picnic.

Special TO the COURIER.
According to arrangements, a num-
Der of friends of Charlton and Linn
counties assembled at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan CLAIR of near
Newhall Saturday, September 9, and
enjoyed the day in having a grand
social and picnic. A general an
nouncement was made and an invita-
ton gwen to all, and by 10 O'Clock
the spacious lawn was filled with
men, women and children, greeting
and shaking hands with each other in
a broad, genial disposition known only
to true friendship. In due season.
and at the time of day when men re-
plenish their mortal bodies. tables
were prepared under the spreading
trees, and loaded with viands pre-
pared by the hands and skill OF the
ladies who were present, and Justly re-
Celved praise Tor the splendid and
delicious repast composed of the prod
ucts of the garden, field, orchard
dairy, poultry-yard and apiary in pro-
portion far in excess of the demands
of the great multitude.
Mr.. Clair is having a fine residence
built, which is well along under COM
pletion. Messrs. VIM. Mayo and
Robt. Lambert are the contractors
and builders and are capable and re-
sponslble artisans, we'll lskilled in the
science of architecture.
1t is also well to say that MIR. Clair
is an ideal farmer living in neigh
borhood of ideal farms that Charlton
county may be proud of.
Missouri hospitality cannot be en-
celled, and true friendship in Missouri
is founded on true manhood and
womanhood.
1t would be altogether out of pro-
priety to personify every one present
at the social, but it is a fact that all,
old and young, enjoyed themselves to
the fullest extent.
Monroe Manlove and VIM. Jones
both forgot to register at the begin
ming of their dinner and did not know
when to quit eating, and when they
came to halt they were found to be
on the lift. but there were no bad re-
suits, as later in the day they were
again able to sit UP and eat more ice
cream, and at the last heard from
them they were doing as we'll as could
be expected under the circumstances.

flom Kansas City, and 4 sister
to Mrs. Duval. and. therefore,
an aunt to Miss Fannie Bills. While
standing at Mrs. DuvaPs grave, hold
ing an umbrella over an aged aunt OF
Mrs. Duval, it is said that Mrs. Hunt
er offered to Snake hands with Mrs.

saw who it was that extended a hand
to her. she pushed Mrs. Hunter back
and spit in her face. Mrs. Strong has
an ungovernabe temper and that is
how her friends account tor her con-
duct. Such an occurrence. especially
on such an occasion, is to be greatly
deplored. A warrant was subsequent
ly sworn out for Mrs Strong's arrest.

on to give the news just as we find it..
