kar S;is City Star: Gov. Stephens
has been holding back the national
guard from st. Louis. 1t WAS sap
posed that he did SO because of his
horror Of millitarism. While the
Governor of Missouri disapproves OF
mob violence he mas hesitated to sup

what he considers 4 greater evil.
Meantime, by his advice and instruc-
tions. the City of st. Louis was put
to the great expense of paying a vast
posse of deputy sheriifs and buying
300 repeating Shotguns with which to
arm them. To avoid the appearance
of militarism the Governor would not
issue state arms to the posse and ST.
Louis had to bug the weapons.
Now he offers another explanation.
He says he will send the state troops
if absolutely necessary. But, bless

defeated. Mr.. Hodges. in voting
against the bill made use of some ex-
ptessions that are applicable to all
cities which hope to have capital in

the enterprises aud industries they al

had no special regard for the Transit

credit of the council that the ordi-

Addresses.

<AuoEcSstSs
The Oraforical contest at the Nor
NAL Tuesday evening was unusually
we'll attended and the contestants
made most favorable impression
upon the assembled audience of about
800. Mr. Harry L. Albert, professor
of Biology, officiated as chairman.
He stated the order of the evenings
and announced the duties
of the contestants.
Prof. and Miss Eckhart opened the
programme with the rendition Of
march on the piano. Mr.. Robert
Bailey of Stoddard County delivered
the first Grafton with excellent effect.
The tall handsome speaker moved the
audielcs with every sway of his hand.
Not Qply did the listeners applaud
enthu fastically at the close of his
speech, but two of the judges, thought
him tie winner when the time for vot-
ing came. MIR: Bailey's enunciation
and choice OF words gave him a
.highsrank. His subject was ''Alexan-
der Hamilton. MIR. William Pierce
of New Madrid selected "Wm. Glad
stone' for his subject, and he handled
it with credit. His voice, however,
was too weak to be heard plainly at
the back part of the auditorium. Mr..

hands in gesticulation quite extensiv-
ely, probably.to to his damage.
The victor, MIR. a. Boehm of Frank

views on the subject of "Orators,i a
subject which so often wins in an ora

murder of Frank Leidenheimer, of
the "Mr. Plaster of Paris" company,

when, after one ballot, the jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. Miss

which insured her freedom, advanced
to the speakers platform and made
a most dramatic speech to the court
and jury. When she had finished
Attorney General Donaldson made a
demand that she be held for carrying
a pistol and the case was entered, but
no bail or other formal court recog-
milton was accorded the action. The

THE MN WHO LAUGHS

If he Would Come and
Hear the Street Talk
ACCUSED and ARRESTED
Geo. w. Akin Charged With
Misuse of Funds by a
Kansas City Firm

A man who cared nothing aud was
seeking something over which to
smile at human foibles could find
something to arouse grin, were he
to settle in lola and keep his care
open.
OF course someone would tell him
about the joints and the long and
tedious route necessary to get officially
at them. Everybody in town save
the police knew where the jOinta
were, that fines were being paid, and
yet there were strange names on the
records and all kinds OF stories were
rite as to the exact fetching up place
of the money. SO a change was made.
Here is where the faintest smile
would appear on the listeners face.
There were gamblers in town;
everybody knows that. Some of them
were arrested after as notorious a
piece of robbery (the lock graft as
was ever perpetrated. After an in
term there was more gambling, but
no official finger could find the spot.
Mayor Servey received letter one
day from a distracted father. "My boy
is being ruined. He is out every night
gambling and | can do nothing with
him Cannot something be done?" Tho
mayor made inquiries and that very
night James lien was arrested in
his rooms over the north side pool
room. Here the inquirer laughs
softly.
"You must remember" says the
gossip to him, "that the joint bust
ness seems not to have let up one
whit, although ten or twelve of the
offenders are in Jail. And no ar
rests were made after they had been
locked up. They claim that tn y
were promised protection IL they
would pay their fines and the first
grand jury would cost them 800 each
after which they could run unmolest-
ed. But the second grand jury caught
them, and they feel hardly used"
Then after a while, the mayor
bears complaints that the fines are
not all shown up on the police docket
and he goes into the investigation
business and thinks he has at least
one undeniable example of neglect to
make an entry. He summons the
council to investigate, and quorum
caunot be secured. Then, for the
first time the stranger laughs aloud
And all the time the'dethroned police

ALABAMA Is A WONDER.
Makes Fast Time on Her Trial Trip-Is
Fighter, Too.

Uncle Sans newest battleship, the
Alabama. made wonderful showing ut
her first speed trial off Boston, its aver
age being seventeen knots an hour over
Il four-hour course. 1t is true this record
is not up to that made by the Iowa
Bob Evans pet-but the thing that
gladdened the hearts of naval experts Is
the prospective showing 10 he made by
tins, the finest and most powerful fight
ing machine the United States has yet
put out According to the contract made
with the Cramps. who built the vessel,
speed of at least sixteen knots is re
quired. but the probabilities are that it
will do even better than seventeen knots
when her machinery is in smooth work
ing order. 1t is not so much what the
Alabama did as what she will do in the
future. Il. s. Cramp, who was on board
the ship during the test. said the en-
gines Were not forced in any way, and
he regarded the time made as merely
fair days work and nothing more.
The Alabama is regarded by naval eX
perts as the finest sea fighting machine
in the world. although not the heaviest
in point of tonnage. Its guns are of the
latest type, so placed as to be handled
with case and rapidity in action. its ar
NOR is practically impenetrable, and rs
a whole she is considered the perfection
of naval architecture
