Missouri PaOitic is Busy.

The Missouri Pacific railroad seems
unable to get enough men and engines
to do the work here at lola. Extra
trains run in here nearly every night
bringing ore to the smelters and as
there are no night operators the trains
have to whistle and toot their way
through to dodge the switch engine
which works all day and all night.
That accounts for most OF the night
racket.
Al present there is an extra train
working here, work train which
hauls cinders from the smelters along
the track and preparing for new. An
additional thousand of feet of switch
will be built on the east end OF the
switch north of the main line. This is
done to accommodate the outgoing
freight. The west end will be used for
town freight and The east end for
factory stuff, at present the mixture
creating much trouble and extra
work
Work has not yet begun on the
round house and coal sheds but this

The plan of action as carried out by

Fl. Scott's uniane Beer Trial.

The first Of the trials of the numer-
Gus men arrested by the Civic Purity
League at TT. Scott on evidence show
ing that they ran joints, is over and
the result is so peculiar it deserves
printing. Among the active members
of the League is Elder Price, who
some time ago walked into IA saloon

key. The trial is described in part by
the Tribune: In Justice Franken-
burgers court this morning a jury cf
six men not only acquitted Kirk will
liams, proprietor of the Owl saloon,
but they returned verdict declaring
that the prosecution brought by Elder
j. H. Price was malicious and assessed
the costs against him. The verdict
was surprise. 1t greatly pleased
the opponents of law enforcement and
greatly depressed the friends of that
movement. Rev. Price may get an
appeal on the matter of costs, but he
may have to submit to detention in
order to do SO. Several Witnesses
testified without hesitation that they
bought liquor at Williams place, but
the defense contended that it was not
shown that Williams sold it.
The Elder was asked il he tasted the
stuff he bought. A negative reply
brought out the query how he knew it
was beer he had bought. He said be
asked for beer and the bar tender gave
him the bottles. This, the state claim
ed, was no proof.

closing his argument had asked that

Last Sunday while a young couple
from out east were driving down West

ran away, jerking the buggy into the

not surprising that the final state of
the mind which has pastured on such

difficult to masticate, and, perhaps,
uncomfortable to an easy conscience,

repeats in various more-or-less-piq-

vices, craftiness, heartlessness, and
