''DettGr than Mother
Used to Make. %

| once heard OF a rich and
handsome bachelor who was
crank about coffee. For
years he lived with his moth
er, who made coffee that just
exactly suited him. When
his mother died he declared
he wouldn't marry until he
found a woman who could
make as good coffee as his
mother. He never found such
a woman so he died single.
If that man was alive to-
day he would have no trouble
finding a wife here in Key
tesville who could fill the
bill. She could not only
make coffee just as good as
mothers, but actually better
than mother used to make" :"
All she would have to do
would be to use Blanke's s
Roasted coffee, which [ sell
at 4 1-2 pounds for a dollar.

Lightning's Work.

During the electrical storm last
Saturday evening a barn belonging tc
Arnsperger Bros. of two miles east OF
Salisbury was struck by an electric
bolt and destroyed, together with its
contents. as was also a barn and what
it contained belonging to VIM. Dough
erty of ! I-2 miles southeast of Key
tesville.
The Arnsperger barn was a new
structure and cost 5000, but was
only insured for $500. The contents
consisted of about 900 bushels OF
wheat, 40 bushels of clover seed and
a lot of farming implements valued
at $500, on which there was no
insurance.
Besides his barn Mr.. Dougherty
lost one horse, I2 tons of hay and his
farming implements. He carried
$500 insurance on the barn and $Ioo
on the contents. The insurance will
lack at least $500 of covering the
loss.
Gilbert Green of near Salisbury
had two valuable Hereford COWS
struck bylghtning and killed.

KEYTESVILLE, MO.
Mrs. Harper's S Speech.

Mrs. c. L. Harper OF Triplett
entertained the Bryan and Steven
son club OF Keytesville township
at the courthouse last Saturday
afternoon in an address Of about
an hours duration. AS she was invited
to address a Democratic club it was
expected that she would discuss the
political issues OF the present cam :
paign exclusively, but such was not the
case. Whatever other people may
think, we are satisfied that Mrs. Harp
er is possessed of the idea that she is
called of God to do what she can to
impress upon the people of this coun-
try the importance of maintaining the
institutions OF government as our
fathers left them and the paramount
claim that God has upon them over
and above everything else.
She takes her Bible along with her
and frequently quotes passages of no.
ly writ to sustain her position.
While large portion of her talk
is connected with solemn and serious
subjects, she spices it with wit and
sometimes SarCasm, that creates a
hearty laugh, whether her audience
intends it or not.
Her reasons. as given, for leaving
home and going abroad as a lecturer,
is chiefly because of dream she had
some months since, concerning the
Kansas City convention and things
she saw and heard while there.
Her speech, made at the courthouse
Saturday evening, we think will be
productive Of good. Some of her
hearers, who, we suppose, had not
laughed for SIX months, were almost
Convulsed with merriment at the fun
ny things she SAID. Her address can
not we'll be described. The most that
can be said of it is that it was a pref
ty good mixture of religion and pol
ltics, and caused everyone who gave
her an attentive hearing something
to think about.

The Maccabees picnic at l indian
Grove last Saturday was not as well
attended as it would have been had
the weather not been so disagreeable.
Those who were there, however, en- :
joyed the day as much as could have
been expected under the circum-
stances. The edibIes were up to the
usual lofty standard of the good
housewives of that community, and
the address delivered by Sir Knight
A. Upper, great recorder-keeper for
the state of Missouri, was instructive
to outsiders and highly edifylng to the
members yf the order.

well consider themselves fortunate in
getting off as well as they did.

Attorney o. P. Ray of this city re-
ceived letter from his sister, Miss
Pauline, few days ago stating that
she had procured position as teacher
in a school at Grangeville, Idaho, for
eight months at a salary of $50 a
month. Miss Ray was a popular and
successful teacher in Charlton county
for several years, and went to Idaho
thinking the change of climate would
help her to recover from the effects of
an injury she received to her nerves
from being struck by a train while
crossing the Hannibal & St. Joe rail-
road track in a carriage at Laclede
two years ago, She writes her brother
that her health is much improved,
which intelligence her numerous Char
iton county friends will be delighted
to learn.

Wabash Detective \. P. Kemp of
Moberly filed complaint with Justice
VIM. P. Jared of KeytesvllIe last
Thursday charging John Tremon with
firing three shots into Wabash passen-
ger train, No. IA, near Sumner, two
or three weeks ago tonight, the first
shot narrowly missing the engineer;
the second coming in uncomfortably
close proximity to postal clerk, and
the third finding lodgment in the side
of the baggage car. Detective Kemp
was put on the case and after some
shrewd detective work, for which Mr..
Kemp is noted, he soon located John
Tremon as being the guilty party.
Tremon confessed the crime and
agreed with Kemp to come to Keytes-
vile and appear before Justice Jared
for preliminary hearing, but instead
of keeping his promise he left for
parts unknown. Mr.. Kemp and
Constable L. A. Embree of Keytes-
Vile laid on the banks of Grand river
up where, it Was supposed, Tremon
would underta ke to cross last Thurs
dav night. but as he failed to show up
the officers did not get to bag their
game. Tremon is still at large, but
with Kemp and Embree both after
him he might as well surrender, tor
his capture is only a matter of time.

feddant. and who decided the case in
favor of plaintiff and assessed his
damages at 500. The &defendant
subsequently appealed to the circuit
court.
Joseph Barnhart VS.. E. B. Kellogg
ct al, debt-appeal. The plaintiff in
this case brought suit against E. B.
Kellogg ct al, composing the Kellogg
Syrup Manufacturing Co. of Sumner, to

petition that he was lawfully married
TO defendant in Charlton county No
vember 20, 1898, and that plaintiff
and defendant continued to live to-
gether as husband and wife until Au-
gust 10, 1899; that during all that
time plaintiff faithfully demeaned
himself, discharged all MS duties as

TOMATOES ON GRAVE.
PECULIAR CASE REPORTED FROM
BOSTON,.
Parents Fond of the Vegetable Have
Child Marked ON Head with Image
Beaver Dam, Pa. Suffers Severely
from Fire.

Tomato plants that grew mysterlously
on a grave in Holy Cross cemetery, Bos7
ton, have been stolen and reward mas
been offered for the apprehension OF the
thief by Rev. d. w. Savage, father OF
the child buried there. Mr.. Savage's lit
tie daughter, Grace, had been, ever since
she was able to eat wonderfully fond OF
tomatoes. This was looked upon as
result of parental influences, which were
also responsible for birthmark, the ex-
act shape Of tomato on the back OF her
head Her fondness for tomatoes seemed
to grow with her years, and it seemed as
if she could eat them all day. About
year and half ago the little girl died.
Early this summer her father was as
founded to see several tomato plants
growing up among the flowers and plants
on her grave. No one had planted them,
so far as could be ascertained, and no one
could explain how they came to grow
there. But a day or two ago Mr.. Saw
age discovered that someone had evident
ly carried away the tomato plants and
large share Of the flowers on the grave.
