tesville, who has been to Ell Reno,
Okla, where he succeeded in
drawing valuable 100 acres of
land, says he came 600 miles to
plead ''not guilty" to the charge
Mrs. Chas. Parker had preferred
against him for gambling, George
having been among those in a
Keytesville gaming resort on
whom Mrs. Parker called to pay
her respects CD the night of July
20, 1901. He appeared before
Justice VIM. P. Jared Tuesday
afternoon and gave bond in the
sum of 500. Friday, August %, is
the day set for his trial.
Arthur Storm was tried before
Justice G.. w. Cunningham at
Brunswick last Thursday for as
saulting D. w. Bates at Bruns-
wick the 4th of last July. Storm
and Bates got into a controversy
over some wall paper, and Storm
emphasized his remarks by u.s.
ing a club on Bates corpus with
telling effect. Justice Cunning
ham held Storm to appear at the
September term of circuit court
at Salisbury, placing his bond at
500, which he was unable to
give, and he was brought to
Keytesville by Constable Cord
and City Marshal Turner,
turned over to Sheriff Veatch
and lodged in Jail.
LATER.-Storm gave bond We'd
nesday and was released from
Jail.
Constable A. L. Cord and City
Marshal Boyd Turner of .Bruns-
wick drove down to the capital
last Thursday with Harry Ander-
son and Arthur Bagsby, two
negroes, in custody who had been
fined $40, each, and costs by
Justice Chas. E. Finch for
climbing on a moving Wabash
train at Brunswick. In default
of payment of their fine and costs
the defendants were locked be-
hind the bars of the county Jail.
Anderson and Bagsby are both
strangers, one claiming Kansas
City and the other Chicago as his
home. They "beat'' their way
to Brunswick, and when they
again boarded train to continue
their journey without paying any
fare, they got into a rumpus with
a brakeman at whom one of the
negroes, it is said, hurled a rock.
The arrest Of both "coons' by
Constable A. l.. Cord followed
with the result given above.
Mrs. Glenn Allen, COL, and her
dusky daughter, Virlea, were
arrested last Sunday for disturb
ing the peace of Mrs. L. B.
Thrash Of Keytesville. Glenn
Allen discovered an old grey
horse running at large with a
saddle and bride, that very
much resembled the original
cold grey horse that came trot-
ting out of the Wilderness" and
Allen tied the animal up on his
premises, expecting that the
owner wonld be willing to pay
him (Allen) something for catch
ing the horse. A son of John
Carroll, who is also a nephew Of
l.. B. Thrash, seemed to think
that he, too, could get a quarter
from the owner of the equine and
went over to Aliens to get the
horse. Gl enn Allen had left home
in the meantime, but Mrs. Allen
and Virlea objected very voci-
ferously to the Carroll boys TAX
ing the decrepid steed. A gen.
eral row ensued, and Mrs. Thrash
had Mrs. Allen and Virlea ar
rested for disturbing the peace.
Their trial will take place before

ford and Chas. Parker failed to
appear for trial before Justice T.
j. L. Hutcheson of Yellow Creek
township last Friday to answer
the charge of gambling, and
their bonds of 500, each, were
declared forfeited. We are re-
iably informed that the defend
ants failed to 60 to Rothville for
trial upon the advice Of one of
their attorneys, Capt. j. G. Wal
lace. 1t will be remembered that
Dearmin, Binford and Parker
were arrested on warrants issued
by Justice VIM. P. Jared of Key
tesville on complaint of Mrs.
Chas. Parker, charging them
with playing poker, but they took
a change of venue from Justice
Jared's to Justice T. j. L. Hutch
eson's court at Rothville. Consta-
BILE James Reid came down from
Yellow Creek township with war
rants for the arrest of all three of
the defendants, out they sue
ceeded in giving Reid the slip
and wentto Rothville Friday night
and gave another bond to appear
for trial to-day (Friday.) In the
meantime bill of costs is piling
up that somebody will have to
pay, but whether it will be the
defendants or the state remains
to be seen. Prosecuting Attor-
ney L. N. Dempsey vows that he
intends to use his utmost endeav-
ors to see that the bonds Dear
min, Binford and Parker forfeit
ed last Friday are collected.
N. o. Tate filed an affidavit
with Prosecuting Attorney L. N.
Dempsey Monday, August II,
charging DR.. j. T. Aldridge of
Keytesville with criminal abor-
ton on the atlantis daughter,
Glenna Tate, on or about July 1,
1901, and who died July 10, 1901.
The affidavit further charges
Emmett DeMoss, also of this
city, with having unlawfully,
feloniously, willfully, deliberate
ly, melted, moved, procured, aid
ed, counseled, hired and COM
manded the said j. T. Aldridge
to do and commit the said felony.
Mr.. Tate AYERS that the instru-
ment used in performing said
abortion was of hard substance,
the nature and description Of
which is to the affiant unknown,
and that large quantity of
certain poisonous drug, the ma
ture and composition of which is
to the affiant unknown, was ad-
ministered by the said j. T. AL
bridge and taken into the body
Of said Glenna Tate, with intent
thereby to unlawfully, willfully
| and feloniously kill and destroy
the foetus and child of the said
Glenna Tate, the same not being
necessary to preserve the life of
the said Glenna Tate. Capiases
were issued by Circuit Clerk z.
T. Lamkin for the arrest of DR..
Aldridge and young DeMoss,
and were served by Sheriff F. M.
Veatch. We simply give the
substance of the affidavit of the
prosecuting witness, and refrain
from any comments, it not being
our desire to prejudice the case
one way or the other. Capiases
having been issued by Circuit
Clerk Lamkin the cases go direct
to the September term of circuit
court at Salisbury for a hearing
and there will be no preliminary
trials. Both of the defendants
promptly gave bond, O. B. An

DeMoss. Mr.. Tate has employ

Author of "In His Steps" Will Have
His Books Acted on the Stage.
The Rev. Charles u. sheldon OF To-
peSa. Kan. has belief that Christian
theaters are feasible. and lac is prepar-
ing to put his theory 10 test by dra-
matizlng his novels, says the New York
Journal He will not drainatize in
His Steps" until the experiment has
been made with others OF his stories.
Concerning the experiment which he
will make Mr. Sheldon said the other
day:
Some time ago l announced the fact
that / believed Christian theaters
would prove a success. and the dis
cussion which followed the announce
ment reached from Maine to Califor-
MIA The discussion was of the great
est interest to me and gave me many
valuable ideas about the experiment
which | intend to make.
ITO make the Christian theater
success from worldly point of view
and this is the point of view from
which IL must be declared success
1t will be necessary to make it popular
enough to pay expenses even while it

Unless the Christian theater ele-
Yates the public taste in theatrical
matters il Is not u success as Il Chris
tian theater. and unless it pays ex-
penses and draws the crowd ii cannot
get the approval of the public, by
whom it must be judged and whom it
Is intended 70 benefit.
'The play with which l viii make
the experiment is Edward Blake 1t
is college story, and for that reason
1 will make the experiment with a col
lege audience. / expect to have the
play put on by students in Washburn
college here [Topekal early next fall.
l would begin the work of dramatic
ing Immediately only the college term
ends next month, and there is not time
enough to get it into good shape and
give IL a fair test. The play will be
ready TO put on next fall.
Il think that this will be one of the
best methods OF presenting the ques-
tions of school life. and If the students
enter into this work with the right
spirit the stage will be a good place to
solve the problem. l think the play
can he adapted to the situation at
Washburn. and with the cooperation
of the students the presentation will
be successful"
The four main characters which the
play Edward Blake" will require are
Edward Blake, the hero of the story;
Willis Preston. his chum; Freeda Ed
wards, sister; Elda Seaton, her room
mate There will also be several minor
characters in the play.

OLD ORCHARD, Mo, Ian. "a, 'O1

OLD ORCHARD, Mo, Ian. "a, 'O1.
Upon completion of the first
(Cambrian) story of our geological
column, with its floor of granite and
ceiling of massive sIlicious limestone,
we see the close of the first period of
Organic Life upon the earth, provid-
ing the Primordial Base is indeed en-
tirely destitute of fossil remains
which, however, is a question en-
titled to some further consideration
We have already quoted from two
authorities who were by no means
ready to believe the general teaching
| that igneous rocks, such as granite
and its products had their whole ex-
istence prior to that of organic life.
But to have further opinions res
pecting primary rocks we will repea t
what another eminent geolog1st had
to say in regard to this ancient for
nation.
In Coal and Coal OIL" by Eli
Bowen, he has to read, 'In geologi-
cal order, what are termed non-fos-
siliferous rocks occupy tive distinct
formations the one termed Igne-
Gus, or Plutonic and volcanic, and
the other Metamorphic, or Strait
fed. The igneCus rocks include
granite and its varieties as primar-
les; and amygdaloid, porphyry,
greensboro and basalt IS secondaries,
or volcanic all of which, bearing
the trace of heat, exhibit no parallel
lines OF strati6cation. The Metamor-
phic (changed from sedimentarv
to crystalline) group comprises
gneiss, hornblende, mica, talcose and
clay states; and although they are
stratihed, 1t is assumed that none OF
them contain fossil remains,- a
proposition, so far as traces of vege-
tation are concerned, which hereaf
ter propose to question The
metamorphic group is not only DIFF
ferent from the igneous in its origin,
but differs in structure and charac
ter. Having been elaborated
. from the abrasion of the previous
rocks. they exhibit striking trans
. ition from them into those of the
. Paleozoic referring to the fossil re-
. mains of the earth) period
. may here observe that plumbago
and anthracite occur to some extent
. in the metamorphIc rocks, and l re.
. gard this fact as sufficient to estab-
lish the previous exisienc of vegeta.
ton, the remains of which have
been nearly obliterated by the heat
that metamorphosed them -
It is notable fact that the whole
of the limestones and sandstones OF
both the Cambrian and Lower Silu.
rian periods are poorly supplied
) with fossil remains throughout the
greater portions of the Ozarks, on
which account geologists-have been
at quite loss to positively deter.
, mine their true positions. The met.
| amorphosed condition to which
these rocks have been brought is the
only reason that can be assigned for
the nonexistence of these impressions
in intelligable forms. Any one who
will take the pains to examine frag-
