Found Surgeons Case.

Item found in the Centralia
Courier:
II. E. Stone picked up IA sur
geOn's case with the name of w.
V. Walker, Mexico, on it, and a
kit of burglars tools near the
poultry house the latter part of
last week. There was complete
outfit of keys, saws, etc, and it
had evidently been lost by an ex-
pert. The surgeons case was full
of instruments, and evidently at
one time belonged to DR.. Walker,
Of Mexico.

Milk of Human Kindness.

The fact that little children, un-
attended, travel long distances
speaks well for the kindness and
generosity of railroad and steam
ship employees. Recently there
arrived in the city of Chicago,
Rosa Reber, a little Austrian girl
aged } years. This child travelled
alone from Austria to Chicago and
was on her way to Darlington,
Wisconsin. Attached to her clo-
thing was IA card, bearing the
words: This child, Rosa Reber,
is going to Gottlieb Reber, Oar
lington, Lafayette county, Wis
consin." Because steamship and
railroad employees and men and
women generally are full of the
milk of human kindness, this little
girl will doubtless reach her desti-
nation safely, and yet it is hardy
wise to start child OH long
journey alone.

"He Believes In Me-"

There is nothing which quite
takes the place, in boys life, of
the consciousness that somebody
his teacher, brother, sister, father,
mother or friend believes in him.
One of the most discouraging
things to youth who is apparent
ly dull, yet is conscious of real
power and ability to succeed, is to
be deprecated by those around
him, to feel that his parents and
teachers do not understand him,
that they look upon him as Il pro-
bable failure.
When into the life of such boy
there comes the loving assurance
that somebody has discovered him,
has seen i'll him possibilities un-
dreamed of by others, that mo-
ment there is born within him a
new hope, a light that will never
cease to be an inspiration and en-
couragement.
If you believe in a boy, if you
see any real ability in him, (and
every human being is born with
the ability to do some one thing
well, tell him so; tell him that
You believe he has the making OF
a man in him. Such assurance
has often proved of greater advan.
tage to a youth than cash capital.

lieves in me. ."-October "Succe s.. y

BOOMS LAUNCHED.
Clark and Stonc-Latter
Would Compromise on
Is to |.

Paris, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-Former
Gov. William J. Stone and Con-
gressman Champ Clark, both of
whom are senatorial candidates,
made speeches at the Fair Grounds
here yesterday, and briefly outlin-
ed their present political positions.
Both men made the financial is.
sue and the question Of reorganiz-
alton the chief features of their
speeches.
Gov. Stone declared that he had
never receded from the position
the party occupied in 1896 and
1900. He said that he had not
declared against the ratio of l6 to
/, but that he would be willing to
change that ratio as a concession
in order to secure a repeal of the
act of 1873 and to restore bimetal-
lism.
Mr.. Clark made direct answer to
this point. He said that he meant
to stand by the whole of the Kan
sas City platform, omitting no de-
tail, and that he meant by this
that the ratio would continue as
set forth. He said that conces-
siOns mean defeat.
Mr.. Stones speech contained
no appeal for himself, but it was a
very clear declaration of princi-
pies. He explained that the Kan
sas City platform needed no bet
tering; that the test of a mans
Democracy should be a record of
unfailing fealty, and that there
would be no reorganization" be-
cause there was no occasion for it.
He felt that defeat did not mean
error, and that the principles that
were good and true in 1896 and
1900 are good and true now.
Mr.. Clark said that he was as
tonished to find a man of the gov
ernOrs sagacity trying to teach
Democracy to an audience. N Mon
roe county, where the majority is
greater than that of any other
county in Missouri. He said that
reorganization talk was not to be
considered by Democrats. TIL,
party had no need for it. 1t was
organized already and organized
to win. He didn't want to change
the Kansas City platform. Il
didn't need it. He did not be-
lievc in concessions as to ratio
Concessions meant defeat.
The speeches were delivered
from the body of light spring
wagon under the shade of tw,
great trees. 1t was a memorabl,
and primitive method of launching
two great senatorial boOms.
Both speeches were delivered il
the speakers most forcible style.

DR.. CLEVELAND WINS
DISCHARGED BY JUDGE DICKEY
TODAY,
Was Tried on Charge of Having Com
mitted Assault and Battery by Vac
-cinating a Little School Girl.

Mrs. DR.. L. S. Cleveland was tried this
morning before Judge Dickey on a
charge of assault and battery upon An
ME KanihO, the six year old step daugh-
ter of Herbert Mossman. The arrest of
DR.. Cleveland grew out of her action in
Vaccinating the little girl contrary to
the wishes of its parents.
The child has been attending school.
Last February Mrs. Mossman was in
formed that the child would have to be
Vaccinated. The mother preferred hav-
ing her private family physician vac
cinate the child, rather than the regu-
lar physician employed by the govern
ment to go about the schools, so she had
DR.. Walter Hoffman perform the opera
ton, a certificate being given,
At the first part of this term Mrs.
Mossman was informed that the child
would have to be vaccinated. She in
formed the teacher Miss Garvin that
the little girl had been vaccinated be-
fore and said that she did not desire the
vaccination to be repeated.
In spite of the childs protests how
ever DIR. Cleveland the government
doctor for this school work vaccinated
her. In her defence, DR.. Cleveland
said she had not been able to deter
mine whether the first mark on the
child's arm, was a vaccination mark
or not The child's arm was exhibited,
both of the marks being quite appar-
ent. The court said he did not consider
the defendant guilty Of assault and
battery and discharged her. He also
said that vaccination was not much
more than washing a childs face, any
how.
