KEYTEsvHLE. MISSOURI. FRIDAY, JULY 90, 1901

thriving town of ABOUT 800 people.
We very much enjoyed our stay
there, and more especially the
hospitalities of Mr.. Bowman, who
was assisted in entertaining US
by his sons, E. A. and James,
and his daughters, Mrs. Anna
Patterson of Denver, Colo, who
is on visit to her father and
family, and Miss Elizabeth Bow
man. Our only regret is that our
stay could not have been longer
among such pleasant friends.
Saturday at noon we were in
debted to Brother A. L. H. Street,
editor of the Stroud Star, for a
splendid dinner and a delightful
visit at his house. May his shad-
ow never grow less and may his
tribe and "wealth" increase.
DR.. Clem Burton, who read
medicine under his uncle, DR..
Jeter of Dalton, some % or %
years ago, is running a drug store
in Stroud, and has wife and six
children to share his success in
business. DR.. Burton gave up
the practice of medicine about 13
years ago on account Of poor
health, but is now hale an /
hearty.
From Stroud we returned di-
rect to Kansas City and came
from there home, arriving at our
humble hut about 1 o'clock p.
m. Sunday feeling G. much built up
by our trip and highly pleased
with most everything we had
seen and heard.

Wants a Divorce.

Mrs. Frederick Hausseman of
Salisbury, through her attorney,
Hon. A. w. Johnson, has insti-
tuted suit at the next Septem-
Der term of circuit court at SAL
isbury for the purpose of obtain
ing a decree of divorce from her
husband, Jacob Hausseman, to
whom she was married in Ger
many March 13, 1873, but with
whom she has lived in Salisbury
since 1880, where the defendant
planted vinyard and began to
raise grapes and other fruits out
of which he made wine and cider.
According to plaintiffs petition
the defendant fell victim to the
products of his own wine-press
and began to drink to an excess.
III treatment of plaintiff by de-
fendant soon followed, also de-
fendat's neglect to provide for his
family. This state of affairs con-
tinued until 1895, when defendant
became more violent and abusive
and threatening toward plaintiff,
calling her vile names, accusing
her of being intimate with other
men, and even accusing her of
improper relations with her own
child, a boy not over 10 years of
age. At other times defendant
threatened to kill plaintiff with a
hatchet, striking at her on many
occasions, and threatening to kill
the whole family. Plaintiff AYERS
that during all the years since
1895 defendant has gradually
grown worse in his excessive
drinking until he was drunk near
ly one-half of his time, and his
threats and abuse of plaintiff have
become SO constant, and his dem
onstrations so threatening that
she was afraid to live with him any
longer and left him July 10, 1901.
Plaintiff says there were four
children born of said marriage,
all of whom are grown and able
to take care of themselves except
one son named Herman, who is
now II years old. Plaintiff states
further that defendant is able
bodied and owns a homestead,
we'll improved, of the value of
81 200 or $1,000, and has some
money loaned at interest, the ex-
act amount of which plaintiff can
not give. AS plaintiff has no
means of her own with which to
support herself or prosecute this
suit, she, in addition to her pray
er for divorce and that she be
granted the care, custody and
control of their 11-year-old son,
Herman, she asks that the court
award her temporary ali
mony in sum sufficient to en-
able her to prosecute this suit and
support herself while this suit is
pending, and such further sum in
gross on final decree as may be
just, and for such other orders
and DEGREES as may be proper in
the premises.

| Ell Reno is city of between
3, 800 and 1000 with, at this time,
a floating population of many
| thousand who will remain until
after the land drawing which
commences next Monday. AS
nearly as we can describe it when
we were there the great number
of people on the streets reminded
us of big day at a circus. The
only thing that caused us TO real
ize that it was not a circus day
was the absence of pink in the
lemonade.
| The editor of the COURIER
reached Ell Reno at 1O:3O o'clock
Thursday morning, succeeded in
registering at high noon, and
boarded the $3.50 train back to
Oklahoma City in the afternoon.
We met a great many people
we knew in our rounds, about Is
of whom were Charlton county
ians, who had gone down to "try
their luck"
We also run across some form
er residents of this county among
them being N. Fenstemaker, late
editor and proprietor of the now
defunct Charlton County Repub-
lican, formerly published at
Brunswick, who will shortly es-
tablish new paper at Hobert,
Okla, a new county seat town
in one of the three new counties
that are to be opened to settle
ment. We also met G.. A.
Hall, formerly of Salisbury, in
Ell Reno. He has sold his banking
business at Okarchie, Okla, and
will soon embark in business
elsewhere, most likely in ''the
new country" Edward Bowman
and his charming daughter, Miss
Elizabeth, who once made their
home at Brunswick, where Mr..
Bowman was engaged in mer-
camille pursuits for a number of
years as a member of the firm
of Morgan, Bowman & Co., were
also among the old Charlton
friends we met, and from whom
we gladly accepted an invitation
to stop off at Stroud, 90 miles
west of Oklahoma City, and
spend day or two at their home.
Mr.. Bowman is now merchan-
dising at Stroud and his asso-
ciates in business are his brother
in-law, James Morgan, and his
sons, E. A. and James Bowman.
They have large stone store
room 25x1OO and carry big
stock of dry goods, furnishing
goods, clothing, etc., and have a
trade that is bringing them re-
turns that are entirely satisfactory
to them and more than gratify-
ing to their numerous old Chari-
ton county friends. We spent from
Friday at l o'clock till Saturday
at l o'clock in Stroud, which is a

A Trip to Oklahoma.

"A 4I1P w OAldAOuAo.
Monday afternoon of last week
the editor of the COURIER left for
Ell Reno, Okla, for the purpose
of seeing the country and also to
take turn on Uncle Sans
wheel of fortune in drawing 16O
acres Of the new territory that is
soon to be opened to settlement.
We spent Monday night and
Tuesday in Kansas City. We
were kindly furnished with trans
portation for our trip by Cal P.
Johnston, the gentlemanly and
efficient city passenger agent of
the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad, taking the Kansas City,
Ft. Scott & Memphis to Nichols
junction, thence over the Frisco
to Oklahoma City, thence q
miles distant by way of the Choc-
taw, Oklahoma & Gulf to Ell
Reno.
The crowds that were en- route
to the new Eldorado were simply
enormous, being too numerous
for comfort-in fact, were packed
on the various trains almost as
closely as sardines in box.
They were generally good ma
tured and we'll behaved, and all
seemed eager to risk a few dol
lars expense in order to have an
opportunity to make a draw for
land, although it is purely game
of chances something of which
the American people as a rule
are peculiarly fond.
For the most part we found crop
conditions between Ell Reno and
Kansas City much the same as
in this section, except that in
Southwest Missouri, Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma the corn is
further advanced, but will be
failure in large majority of
fields. The drouth was as bad
there as here at the time of our
visit, but few localities have
had enough rain to make some
corn.
The wheat crop was unusually
good all along our route, while
the cotton crop, both in the In
dian Territory and Oklahoma,
was looking remarkably well when
the dry weather was taken into
consid Grafton. Wheat and cot
ton are Oklahoma's chief agri-
cultural products, and cotton is
more depended upon by farmers
for making money than is wheat.
The metropolis of Oklahoma is
Oklahoma City, which has pop
ulation of IA, 900 or $1,000 people
and has many nice brick and
stone business houses, some of
which are three and four stories
high. All lines of commerce are
we'll represented and modern
business methods are in vogue.
The man who goes to Oklahoma
City, or, as for that matter, to any
other portion of Oklahoma ex-
pecting to find soft snap is sure
to find disappointment awaiting
him. Competition is sharp in
every line of trade, and a mans
success must be measured solely
by his ability to meet wide
awake, hustling competitors.

THE AUTOPSY AND INQUEST.
The Verdict of the Coroner's Jury-No One Charged
With Criminality,
ALTHOUGH PROSECUTIONS MAY FOLLOW

While newspaper is expected
to chronicle the happenings Of
its vicinity, there are some things
that give an editor great pain to
mention. We are especially griev-
ed because of the seeming neces-
sity Of publishing the circum-
stances attending the death of
Miss Glenna Tate, which occur
red at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. N. 0. Tate, in
this place the morning of the 10Th
inst. Miss Glenna was regarded
as being one of our brightest, best
and deservedly popular young
ladies. She was happily con-
verted during the great revival
meeting, held by Rev. T. H.
Swearingen in Keytesville last
winter, and many times testified
of the saving and Transforming
power of the gospel, and in her
dying moments expressed her
confidence in her redeemer and
said she was dying in the faith.
The peculiar circumstances of
her death, coming as it did in the
absence of her parents, seeming
ly justified an autopsy and a
.coroner's inquest. These, per-
haps, would not have been
thought necessary had not the
breath of suspicion and the tongue
Of slander begun to do their dead
ly and damaging work.
Suffice to say the autopsy was
held by Drs. Hughes, Dewey, AL
bridge and Knott of Keytesville
and lDrs. Bazan and Jennings of
Salisbury, the last named being
the coroner.
The result of the autopsy and
the conclusion reached by the
participants were made known at
the coroner's inquest, which be-
gan Saturday at noon, continued
through the afternoon and ad-
journed to meet again Wednes-
day morning in order to procure
the testimony Of local witnesses
and DR.. H. w. Tull of Carrollton,
who had been called in consulta-
ton with Drs. Aldridge and Knott
a few hours before the young
lady's death, and who made a
physical examination Of the pa
tient to properly diagnose the
case.
The testimony is too volumi-
nous to give more than synop-
sis of the important points. The
doctors differed, ,as other wise men
sometimes do, in regard to the
cause of her death. Drs. B.
Hughes, H. T. Garnett and j. T.
Dewey of Keytesville and c. A..
jennings, the coroner, seemed
positive in their conclusions that
a former state of pregnancy had
existed, followed by an abortion
or miscarriage and this produced
septicemia or blood poison, while
Drs. Bazan of Salisbury, j. T..
Aldridge and Isaiah Knott, Jr.,
Of Keytesville and H. w. Tull of
Carrollton agreed as to the blood
poison, but thought that it might
have been produced by other
causes.
The coroner's jury was COM
posed of the following gentlemen:
w. G. Agee, P. R. O'Bryan, j.
w. Hughes, VIM. Tillotson, E.
S. Pearson and w. w. Hancock,

we, tIle jury, lHu CnaC Cne
deceased came to her death from
blood poison caused by a pre-
vious abortion or miscarriage"
The jury, as may be seen, was
composed of sensible, good and
true men and their verdict was
conscientiously rendered. Still,
it seems strange that of the sew
eral reputable ladies who testified
in the case, some of whom were
with the deceased much of the
time during her illness, not one
of them had ever seen any sign
or indication that would lead to
a justification of the verdict or
the conclusion of half of the doc
tors; and, furthermore, not one
word Of testimony was elected
from any witness to show the
guilt of any one connected with
a crime, had there been one.
Miss Tate's death has many
peculiarly sad features connect
with it. In the first place, a
bright young life has gone out,
shrouded in mystery, which
occasions an impenetrable gloom
and unfathomable sorrow on the
part of remaining loved ones and
friends. But let us hope this
dark cloud has a silvery lining.
Persons who witnessed Glenna
Tate's conversion during the
meeting here last winter heard
her lovely talks and earnest and
eloquent prayers and her dying
testimony will be slow to believe
that it was not well with her in
death, or that it will not bewellwith
her throughout eternity. God
does not permit even a sparrow to
fall without His care ana will
clothe His saints with robe of
righteousness and will work out
for them ga far more exceeding
and eternal weight Of glory
We say to the especially be-
reaved ones, you have the SYM
pathy of this entire community in
which you have made scores of
friends during your brief stay.
May He who doeth all things
well and is too wise to err give
you that comfort which mortals
cannot impart.
The remains of Miss Glenna
were taken by her parents and
sisters, accompanied by Mrs.
Nita Norman, to Indianola,
Iowa, their former home, for in
terment. Mrs. Tate and the
daughters remained there for a
visit among friends. While Mr..
Tate and Mrs. Norman, accom-
panied by j. F. Hendrickson, of
Indianola, special friend of the
family, returned to Keytesville
Tuesday and witnessed the re-
mainder of the inquest.
Whether or not any prosecu-
tons will be attempted is mat
ter that has not yet been deter
mined, although it is generally
understood that there will be,
but we have not been able to
learn the names of the prospect
i've defendants as no warrants

TIPS oa FALL STYLES.

Hopsacl1ing, it is said, in deep cream or dark natural flax tint, will be 'sthe newest thing for fall"
 Renaissance will be quite passe as a fall trimming lace. Guipure, cluny and point d'arabe will be much preferred.
 Majestic coats and gowns Of the Louis XIV. era of velvet, trimmed with Venetian point, will form many elab- Drate autumn toilettes.
 For the fall, tailor-made Eton bIouses and Louis XIV. coats are all exhibited among the advance models Only the season itself will prore the fayorite, but indications point to the continuance of the Eton for popular wear.
 A greater tendency to combine col DTS will be a new autumn feature. Elm erald green, in particular, is to have strong vogue as contrast trimming. This new notion, it is predicted, will be strongly in evidence on both hats and combinations.
 Top coats promise to be long, about f2 inches, with half-ftted backs, and with or without 9 yoke. The former will be smarter. but for women who have to wear a coat several winters will look more passe when it's vogue is over.

NEEDS OF MANILA.
City Would Re Greatly Benefited by Trolley Line, Department Store
 ana Good Hotel.


 Manila is city of 25o,ooo persons. with practically no street car service. An electric street car line and lighting plant, an American department store, handling American goods, and good hotel are the city's most crying needs at present, and all these enterprises would pay enormous profits. Nor, con trary to the prevailing impression, is there any hindrance to the forPation of stock companies to do business in the Philippines, says the Manila core spondent of the New York Tribune. Following is an extract from an opin- ion on this subject by the leading att torneys at Manila:
 'We are of opinion that corporation duly organized in any of the United States in accordance with the laws of such state, can engage here in the business authorized in its articles (such articles should provide for the operation of the corporation in the Philippines). and that such corpora tion would have the undoubted right to acquire and hold property of all de- scription, including real estate, in the Philippine islands,
