Nearly Sufocated.

B. R. Burlington of Cockrell town.
ship, who lately moved to Kansas
City to engage in the live stock COM
mission business, had a close call for
his life last Thursday night at room
ing house on Ninth street in that city.
From what we can learn Mr.. and
Mrs. Burlington had gone to bed, and
lamp was accidentally overturned
and exploded in the apartment of a
man and his wife who roomed on the
next floor below Mr.. and Mrs. Bufing-
ton. The blaze from the lamp COM
municated to the lace curtains and in
a very short time the whole interior Of
the room was wrapped in flames.
The alarm was given, the ire de-
partment responded promptly and
Mr. and Mrs. Burlington were aroused
and gotten out of their room, but for
some reason Mr.. Burlington returned.
He failed to come out galn and,
fearing that some CALAMITY had be-
fallen hitn, a fireman eltered the
room and found Mr.. Bufirgton with a
lot of bed-clothing rolld about his
head, unconscious and iearly sufo-
Gated by smoke. He WIS carried out
into the street, but it vas sometime
afterwards before he egained con-
sciousness.
The first thing he laid after he
came to himself was; q Let Mary know
1 am all right"
Miss Mary lives in Salisbury and
has been in poor heah, but was some
better. The news ofher fathers mis-.
hap caused relapse she fearing that
the worst had been kpt from her.
We are glad to hRr, however, that
Miss Mary Is now lproving, and that
Mr.. Burlington is hnself again.

Sensations at Dalton.

Dalton had a sensation Tuesday.
An irate father, white man, wore a
buggy whip out on grass-widowed
daughter, and a couple of negro bucks
were given hours to leave town or
take their chances on being hung.
They left, believing they would live
longer without hanging. No arrests
are reported, hence we withhold
names.
AS an after-clap of the above, the
father of the woman in the case shot
at a white man Wednesday night, the
ball passing through the intended tar
gets coat. The combatants then
clinched, and rolled off of the sidewalk
in battle array, but were separated by
witnesses to the melee. Still no ar
ests.

Teachers Employed.

The board of education for Keytes-
vile village school met Monday night
and employed the following teachers
for the ensuing year:
7. Estill Harvey, principal.
Nv. Taylor, room No. S.
Miss Anna H. Groves of Corder,
Mo-, room No. 4.
Miss Lille Mann, room No. 8.
Miss Willie Davis, room No. 2.
Miss Anne Grinstead, primary.
P. 7. Robinson and Miss Julia
Moorman were retained as teachers
of the colored school.
From the above it will be seen that
the only change made in the entire
corps of teachers from that of the
term just closed consists in the SUBJ
stituuon of Miss Anna H. Groves for
Miss Lucille Taylor of Huntsville IN
room No. d. the latter not Icing an
applicant.
We have had most excellent school
during the past eight. months, and the
patrons may confidently expect
equally as satisfactory results for next
year.
''The new teacher" Miss Groves,
was born and reared at Corder, La
fayette county, and was one OF the
graduates of Central Female college
at Lexington, Mo-, four years ago,
and comes to Keytesville highly
recommended as an instructress.

Anti-Alum Baking Powder Law Upheld.

Judge Clark of the criminal courts
of St. LOUIS has convicted whitney
Layton of that city, who was arrested
on charge of selling baking pow
der containing alum, and fined him
$Ioo.
The law of this state prohibits the
manufacture or sale of baking powders
that contain alum. The object Of the
law is to prevent the sale of articles
injurious to health: the money received
in fines for violation of the law goes
to the good road fund of the county.
Thus every citizen has double in
terest in the enforcement of the statute;
that the highways of the state may be
improved, and that the health of the
people may be protected
Many retail grocers have been en-
couraged by the manufacturers of the
alum powders, who have hitherto de-
fed the law, to continue selling the
illicit goods. 1t is not safe, however,
for anyone to longer sell them. Re-
taiers should throw the alum powders
out at once, or return them, and let
the manufacturers bear the brunt Of
the prosecutions.
Any chemist can easily determine
the presence of alum in baking pow
der, but, as suggestion, the names
of some of the alum powders sold in
Missouri are printed as follows:
Pure Food, Calumet, Jack Frost,
Forbes, Shepards, Perfect,
Bon Bon, Eddy's Hotel,
Mammals Champion, K. c.,
Liberty Bell and Manhattan.

pleasant to human comfort as con-
tlnaance of the mild atmosphere would

TAXES ARE DUE.
County Treasurer Ewing Explains the
New Tax Law.

The new tax laws seem to puzzle
good many people. When asked in re
gard to them. County Treasurer Ewine
said today:
THE taxes fer 1899 are now due and
can be paid at any time, either in whole
or in part The condensed laws which
govern the payments are as follows:
CAN taxes are due on the first Mon
day of January in each year
Real estate axes may be paid in tive
equal installments; payment of the first
one half maybe made on or bafore May
81; payment of the second one-half may
be made on or before Oct. 81.
"a penalty of 10 per cent on the
who'e tax is added June 1. provided the
first one-half is not paid ON or before
May 81.
ga penalty of ten per cent is added
Nov on hesecond one-half If not paid
before Oct. 81. and said tax will become
delinquent on the first Monday of JAN
uary next, when an additional penalty
of S per cent is added. Tax sales take
place on the first Monday of May fol-
lowing, and the amount of sale draws
interest at the rate of per cent month
until redeemed. If not redeemed within
three years from date of sale all lands
become the absolute property of the
state or purchaser.
Personal property taxes are also now
due. If not paid on or before Feb. %
penalty Of 10 per cent is added. If not
paid on or before March 80 not only the
10 per cent. but clerk of courts and
sheriff's fees are also added. If not col
lected the amount goes into judgment,
and no transfer of property can be
made until the judgment is satisfied"

FARMERS WILL REJOICE.
The Open Winter has Killed Off 10.
sect Life.

Prof. Lugger, the state entomologist,
says that the unusually warm weather
which has prevailed this winter will
cause the death of many kinds of insect
life. not by freezing. as people gener,
ally suppose, but owing to the loss OF
rest. All insect and much animal life
requires certain amount of almost
absolute re>t which is generally enjoyed
during the long winter months when
food is scarce and cold p evails If GER
ain animals are disturbed during this
season, taken into a warm room, they
| will uncurl their bodies and move stu
pidly about, but when placed back in
the place in which they were slumber-
ing they will at once curl themselves
up again and, except for slight beat
ing of the heart at long intervals, they
seem dead. If this experiment is tried
several times the creature dies Prof
Lugger has observed number of hairy
caterpillars which have crawled from
under the sidewalks during the spring
like days under the mistaken idea that
spring has come. Other life of this
kind is as rest ess.
The English sparrows have also been
very active this winter and several
times have been seen gathering string
and straw preparatory to building.
This" says the professor who is al
ways the birds warm friend. lis be-
cause tbs English sparrow is a for
eigner. The other birds become more
active and restless during the warm
weather but they do not m ke the mis-
take of building until the time has
come. I have not been obliged to feed
the birds this year, but have done so
once with hay seed The birds from
the north which are usually here dur
ing the winter have not come down at
all; the woods have been so open and
food has been plenty"
The blue jays remain in Minnesota
all winter owing TO the oak trees and
have been very numerous this year,
there being no snow to cover the acorns
Prof Lug er has several white Holland
turkeys and one day recently found
robin feeding with them. He was not
an early conner. however, but had de-
layed his trip south too long.
There are probably not many people
who are aware that during January

body has discovered where, the same
place whence it came It's eggs have
often been kept for experiments, but do
not live. What troubles the scientists
about this fly is that it doesn't freeze.
Its little legs must have liquid of son o
kind in them. but it seems proof against
the very coolest weather.
