An exciting incident transpired last
Wednesday morning at the johnson
store. Ed Akin, while engaged in burn
ing some pasteboard boxes chanced to
direct his gaze upward when he beheld
flames in the vicinity Of the ceiling. In
an instant he had given the alarm, be-
ing convinced that the building was on
fire. and quite crowd had soon arrived
upon the spot. Investigation, however.
soon demonstrated that fortunately the
young man had mistaken the burning Of
SCOT in the chimney for the ignition OF
the ceiling. The mistake was not an un
natural one as quite an Aperture occurs
between the upper and lower sections OF
stove pipe. thus causing deceptive op-
tical phenomenon. Had there been any
real danger. little doubt is entertained
that Eds promptness would have effect

looked out into the future with calm
hope, and declared he did not fear the
judgment to come.
His funeral was conducted by the
minister at his late residence, March
II, 1900, after which he was laid
away in the cemetery at Newcomer to
await that morn which will be followed
by no night. The bereaved compan-
ion and children have the inspiring
hope OF glorious, unending reunion
in that city where there will be no
more separations.
May the good Father bless this sad

Realizing that every precaution was
necessary, the city council of Keytes-

lished rigid quarantine against Sails

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney o. P.
Ray of Keytesville went up to West
vile Monday to represent the state
in case against Price Standley, a15-
year-old youth who was charged with
stealing lap robe, a pair of slippers
and silk dress pattern from Fred
Sanderson's buggy at Bethany church,
two miles north Of Westville, the night
of Nov. 4, 1899. Standley was ar
rested shortly after the theft of the artl'
cles from Sanderson's buggy and was
brought to Keytesville and lodged in
jail, where he was made "a trusty," but
took French leave and was re-arrested
a few days ago by Constable Oldham
of Clark township and brought back
to Jail. When his case was called in
Justice Clark's court Monday the
lads attorney, Dan Mclaughlin of
Marceline, demanded jury trial,
which resulted in the boys acquittal.
-
Thos. Knuckles, the man who
hired horse from Chas. Parker, a
Keytesville liveryman, January 80,
1900, which subsequently proved to be
a ruse, Knuckles' sole object being to
steal the animal, was captured by the
police at Chillicothe last Thursday,
and Constable L. A. Embree OF Key

inst. and returned shortly before noon
with Knuckles in custody. When
taken before Justice VIM. P. Jared

water-works and Sewerage.


Another citizens meeting was held
at the Keytesville opera house Tues
day night, Judge o. F. Smith presid-
ing as chairman and c. P. Vandiver
acting as secretary. Captain J. c.
Wallace was called upon to make a
report for the committee on water
works and sewerage, but asked Major
w. S. MCClannahan of Monmouth,
H., the gentleman who had charge of
the preliminary survey made in an
tlclpat1on of water-works and sewer
age, to deliver an address. Major
McClannahan promptly responded,
and gave the audience a plain, prac-
teal talk on the proposed improve
ments, setting forth their advantages,
and also giving a partial estimate Of
the costs. His remarks were listened
to with much interest and the smajor
was heartily appIauded at the conclu-
sion of his speech.
Major McClannahan said that two
of the greatest enjoyments of life were
sewerage and water-works, as they
furnished pure air and pure water,
and his estimate as "starter" was
about SIS, 900, if a we'll were put
down to sufficient depth to strike
St. Peters sandstone, which furnishes
an inexhausuble supply of pure, fresh,
sparkling, health-giving water.
Enthusiastic speeches were made
by Captain J. C. Wallace, N. o. Tate,
Judge H. c. Minter and Judge o. F.
Smith, all of whom expressed them
selves as being heartily in favor of
water-works and sewerage.
Major McCIannahan was added to
the committee, who were empowered
to confer with the city council looking
to the submission of the question of
bonding the city for the purposes
named.
Under the law city of Keytes-
vllle's taxable wealth ($2oo, ,ooo) can
only Issue.bonds 10 the amount : of
$4,000. and the balance, of the
money necessary can be raised by
other plans, principal among which
will be the large saving in the cost of
insurance, and the hustling qualities
of N. o. Tate.
The water-works and sewerage
committee met with the city council
Wednesday morning, and arrange
ments will be made to have the propo-
sition to bond the city IN the sum of
Sic, 1000 submitted to the voters at no
distant day.
The majority of our people seem
to be much in earnest in regard to
the contemplated improvements, and
we would not be at all surprised to
see the citizens of Keytesville enjoy
ing the modern comforts and revel-
ing IN the happy contentment of
water-works and sewerage before the
snow flies next fall.
