ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Council Ordered a Special Election
May 10.

The City Council held special
meeting Friday evening and after hav-
ing carefully investigated the question
of electric lights decided to submit the
question to the qualified voters at a
special election to be held on May 10
Elsewhere in this paper will be fonnd
the ordinance as passed and also the
notice of special election. Electric
lights are much needed in our city'and
city plant is q move in the right
direction. 1t is now the duty Of the
people to authorize the council to put
in plant. The Council will put in
Plant that will not only be a credit
to our city but will give good lights
and at the same time be the most
economical. Cities owning electric
light plants could not be induced to
do without the lights or to have the
lights furnished by private com
pany. Every property owner will be
benefited by the city owning an cleo
tic light plant and as it is to your
interest for the city to have good
lights it becomes your duty to 90 to
the polls on May 10, 1902 at the vot-
ing precinct in your ward and vote
for the proposition, and when YOU
have done this you have not done
your full duty. You should see to it
that your neighbors do likewise.

Out Look Bright.

There were many farmers in
this city Saturday Generally
they were in good spirits, but a
few, as usual, were feeling
blue. This time it is because
there has not been as much
rain as these who are pessimls-
tic expect. They all said they
never saw the ground in finer
condition and corn planting is
progressing. Some farmers have
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-04-24

finished, some have finished ex.
cept small patches which they
wish to plant late and then
there are some who have their
ground about ready but are
waiting for warmer weather.
From the conversations with
farmers we feel safe in saying
that fully three fourths of the
corn has been planted. Grass
has not grown as fast as it
would have grown had the
weather been warmer but is as
good as 1t EQUALLY is at this
season. Stock of all kinds is
in remarkable good condition
considering. Wheat in bottoms
never was finer aud there is
much good upland wheat. TAX
en- all in all we believe that
prospects for a big crop are
tiattering and we will be great
ly surprised if this year is not
a record breaker. If we will
perform our part of the work we
will not want.

STOLE AN ALDERMAN's HORSE
Lewis Smith, a Farm hand, Has Taste of
High Life But Ends Up in Jail.

Lewis Smith. Farm Hand, Has Taste of
High Life But Ends Up in Jail.
Lewis Smith, farm hand, who UNI
til Monday was employed on the farm
of c. H. Waldo in the town of Bristol.
had taste of high life in Kenosha
Monday night, but, as usual with high
lite, there was reckoning and Smith
spent the night in Jail with charge of
horse stealing hanging over him.
Smith came to Kenosha Monday
afternoon, and IN the evening he dis
covered the horse owned by Alderman
Charles Werner standing in front OF
the office of the Balm Wagon Com
pany. The horse looked like a good
one, and Smith decided to take it. He
Jumped in the buggy and started away.
His drive during the next hour took
him all over the city, and he stopped
at nearly every saloon along the route
to liquidate.
The experience was a new one to
Smith and the horse had to suffer for
the novelty. After the outlying streets
had been visited Smith started to take
IN Main street and stopped along the
street to get another drink. This stop
proved to be fatal one, for two police
men, who had been notified of the
theft of the horse were in waiting and
Smith was at once placed under ar
rest.
It is thought that the man is labor
ing under some mental delusion and it
is thought possible that he will not be
prosecuted for his crime. The horse
was returned to its owner late in the
evening, and Smith has not as yet
been given a hearing.
Later Smith was arraigned in the
Justice court this afternoon on a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses, it being alleged that
he secured a dollar from Charles
Parks, of Bristol, on the claim that he
was man named Waldo, who is we'll
known about the county.
