HoMIEG PIGEONS
Fly From Here to Chicago in Six
Hours and Ten Minutes.

Last Friday j. A. Glandon received
by express from John Ahrens, secre-
tary Of Chicago carrier pigeon club,
a coop containing thirty long distance
flyers, with instructions to liberate
them Saturday afternoon at 5 O'Clock.
However, on account OF the threaten
ing weather Saturday evening, 1t was
not until 5 O'Clock Sunday morning
that Mr.. Glandon started them on
their race back to Chicago. The first
pigeon reached home there exactly at
lilo a. M, covering the distance in 6
hours and 10 minutes.
The pigeons were owned by different
members Of the club and each had a
distinguishing mark, small metal
band on its leg. Upon being set loose at
Mr.. Glandon's residence the pigeons
Immediately arose in a body, but in
stead Of making the usual gradually
widening circles TO get their bearings,
after first wavering slightly TO the
south and then a northerly direction,
started on a straight line toward the
northeast, and we're lost to view in
few moments.
The fastest railroad time between
Mexico aud Chicago is 10 hours, but
as is seen by computation the pigeons
made the distance In nearly four
hours less They flew at the rate Of
about SO miles an hour and had 1t not
been for the stormy weather and ad-
verse winds encountered In Illinois,
they would have flown at rate Of
even few miles faster.

They wear their breeches in the boots
Out west,
Their jewelry's the kind that shoots,
Out west,
Men are toughs with lighting sand,
The women holy terrors, and
The girls are fresh to beat the band,
Out west.
The maldens all wear cowboy hats,
Out west,
And wear no coBets ON their Stats,
Out west,
And when a lover seeh-s to feel
Too shy to make the sweet appeal,
They pull a gun and make him squeal,
Out west.

Out west,
Preach politics with voice and pen,
Out west,
And If a husband makes a play 49,
To take the sacred right away,
He grows baldheaded in a day,

And that is why we try so hard
To hold them in our high regard,

WARRENToN, Mo-, July 25.-Henry
PITT, resident of an island in the
Missouri River lying south Of Casei
Warren County, committed suicide
yesterday evening by shooting him
self with a shotgun.
Pitz had accused his wife of inhdelity
and on several occasions threatened to
kill her. On Thursday he repeated
his threat and neighbor by the
name of Augustine came to Warren
ton to swear out a warrant for his
arrest. Pltz's wife and children had
meantime taken refuge at the home
Of a sister in Hermann, and before the
Sheriff could reach PITT he had taken
his own life.
He left a letter in which he stated
that be would kill himself, and ex-
planned in detail how his property
should be disposed of, providing for
the payment OF his debts.

MEXICO AUDRAn COUNTY, MISSOURI THURSDAY JULY 1909
NAY WINTER HERE.
It is Reported That Ringland Bros,
Circus Will Spend the Colder
Season IN Mexico.

Although the circus companies are
avoiding this city this summer, Mex
leo may be recompensed for the lack Of
that kind OF amusement by having one
TO stay with us all winter.
Within the last two weeks,agents OF
the Ringland Bros. circus have been
making investigations in regard to es-
tablishing their winter quarters in
this vicinity. A prominent real es-
tate firm here has been consulted by
them, and if suitable property can be
obtained, they will, it is thought,
locate here.
This city and Audrain county offer
them every advantage as wintering
place for both their horses and me-
nagerie. Fine pasture can be obtained,
and, ON account Of the abundant
crops generally raised here, there will
be no trouble in always obtaining
proyender.
Should the show decide to come
here, the good that would be done to
trade interests would be excellent
stimulus.
With II would be the general mama
ger, the managers Of each Of the de-
partments, the wild animal trainers
and caretakers, grooms and hostlers
for the horses, and force of roust-
abouts for the heavy work, a number
of men estimated at between SO and
75. Also, a hundred or more horses
and the entire menagerie would be
included. So judging from the
amount Of business transacted by a
large circus each day when on the
road, 1t can easily be seen what inn
mense benefit they cou'd confer on
this city by five or six months stay
here.
AS is usual, the company will lease
section OF farm land, preferable
near a railroad, and erect large barns
and a menagerie building. So far, no
prospective sites have been viewed,
but it is supposed that either the old
fair grounds or locality east Of this
city would be chosen on account Of
their railroad facilities.

rRI.CO, POULTRY ASSOCIATION.
Both the Association and Executive
Committee Ret Here Thursday
Poultry Show to Be Held
Dec. 81 and Jan. 1-3.

The Tri County Poultry Associa-
tion met in Mexico Thursday morning
at IL O'Clock and authorized the Exec
utlve Committee TO convene here in
two weeks to draft a constitution and
bylaws for the government Of the
organization The meeting was well
attended; with the exception Of plac-
ing two members, Geo. Knnkel and L.
II. Carter, OF this city, on the ESecu-
tive Committee, no other business
was transacted.
The Executive Committee also met
at the conclusion Of the other meet
ing and decided to hold the first an
nual show here on December 81, OF
this year, and January /, and-S, 1903.
W. $. Russell, Of Ottumwa, Iowa, q
poultry expert, was appointed Judge
Of the contests, but 1t win not be de
termined who shall act as SuperInten
dent until the next meeting Of the
committee.
The formation Of tlsis organization
is the result Of the efforts which j. r.
Lampson, George Knnkel and Others
who are interested in fine poultry have
put forth in the last few years.
The show next winter is expected tc
bring a number of persons here and
will be OF benefit to Mexico.
The association is stlll growing
larger. 1t is hoped that new mem
bers will continue to Join.

SOLITUDE.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone,
For this brave old earth must borrow
its mirth--
1t has troubles enough Of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure Of all your
pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There are none TO decline your
nectar'd wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.

JUDGE REPRIMASDs a WOMAN.
Public Censnre Because She Wrote
Him Concerning a Case in Hia
Court

PITTsFIELD, MASS, July 25.--JUstice
Fox, Of Cambridge, presiding in the
Berkshire Superior Court, to-day pub
licly reprimanded Nellie E. Haskell,
wealthy young woman OF Great Bar
rington, for attempting to influence
the court in her behalf In case which
was TO come before him in the court,
in which she was the defendant.
She wrote to Justice Fox state
ments concerning the case and he
summoned the woman before him for
contempt Of court She apOlogized
and said that she had no intention Of
improperly influencing the court.
One sentence Of the letter TO the
court read:
"Don't fear because | have address
ed you that there will be any sign OF
recognition in the court to embarrass
you. No one here has any idea that
have ever heard Of you.r
Justice Fox in addressing the
woman, said Of this extract OF the let
ter:
"This passage shows clearly enough
that In your view conceaIment was an
essential part of your enterprise. 1t
Is true, however, that this case cannot
be treated with the severity OF man
who was thoroughly acquainted with
the proprieties OF judicial procedure,
and this Is a case where judge should
take care lest his feeling Of personal
resentment influence his Judgment
"But unless we are to throw down
the bars altogether and invite private
and confidential communications, we
cannot ignore an net so offensive. Miss
Haskell, for reasons which have
stated aud because by your letter you
have sought by secret and improper
means to influence the course Of JUS
tic, you are publicly reprlmanded by
the court. Because you have express
ed your regret for your conduct the
court will take no further action"

KANSAS CRY, July 24.-Eva Beck,
Is years Of age, Of Van Buren,, Ark, is
a distinguished type, an up-to-date
twentieth century girl Eva rode
from Van Buren to Kansas City,about
600 miles, in a box car She had a
friend who, like herself, desired to
come to Kansas City.
Tuesday was a long, wearisome day
and the wayfarers were glgd enough tc
sleep when night came. The interior
of the car naturally was pitch dark
and the girls felt no hesitancy in re-
moving their clothing, 1t being so hot.
Eva slept as soundly as If she had
been in a Pullman. When she awoke
yesterday morning TO her surprise she
discovered that her companion had
disappeared. Then to her utter dis
may she found that her own ward
robe was missing.
Trainmen who were at work in the
Sheffield yards about noon yesterday
saw a strange sight A white hand
kerchief waving furiously, a human
hand, and just the suggestion Of an
arm were visible. To one Of the train
men she told her story. Garments Of
many shapes and sizes were secured
and after much "trying on" the figure
of a woman, fully clad, emerged from
the car.
