De Soto; Miss Reed, st. Louis; DR.. G.

The excursion from De Soto last
Thursday was not very great in num-
bers. There were probably about one
hundred people on the train. The
day vas an extremely hot one and the
visitors spent the day driving to the
various points of interest in the Valley.
The crowd at the park was a small
one aud the ladies OF the Baptist
church who had arranged to feed a
big crowd quit losers on the day.
Judge j. L. Fort made the Sheriff,
clerk and printer glad the other day
at Poplar Bluff in ruling that no
divorce suit would be entertained in
his court unless the plaintiff would
deposit the amount in full with the
clerk at the time of fling said suit to
pay all st.-Coarier. This is a
square deal. The practice should be
general.
Fourteen gallons of nitro-glycerine
were 'sshot of" in the railroad COM
pany's we'll at Arcadia one day last
week. The well has been drilled
some time but never supplied sufficient
water and the shot was made in the
hope of opening new veins. So far as
can be ascertained the water supply
has not been increased. A shot was
made in the we'll at Bismarck a few
days ago but no NOR water was
secured.
A young lady of a neigborlng city
has a beau in the habit of calling at
her home six nights in the week and
staying 30 late that he has become a
nuisance. The other evening as the
clock struck eleven she gave him a
pencil and paper and told him to make
eleven ciphers in a straight line and
draw a perpendicular line down from
the right side of the first and a line
up the right side of the fourth, down
the right side of the fifth, up the right
side of the seventh and eighth, and
down the right side of the tenth, the
lines to be about an inch in length.
Then she told him to read what he had
written, The hint was startling and
the fellow has not been seer since.-ET.
Will Bollinger, colored, born and
reared in this town, was taken through
here on No. 1 last Sunday bound for
Poplar Bluff, the Sheriff of Butler
county having him in charge. Boil
linger has been many years a resident
of Poplar Bluff and for some time past
has been %janitor of the Fraternal Opera
House and Butler County Bank. A
short time since a package containing
So, 900 was missed out of the vault of
the bank. Suspicion at once attached
to Bollinger who in the meantime had
left town. He was located in St. Louis
where he and his ''lady friend" we're
getting rid OF the money at the rate of
a hundred dollars a day. Bollinger
had but $135 left when taken in charge.
He will unquestionably get a good
term in the p~enitentiary.
The Crescent base ball team-De
Soto's joy and pride-went back home
last Thursday evening scalpless and
forlorn. They arrived here that
morning with flags %unfurled and ban
ners flying. Their record this season
had been one of unbroken success.
They had literally "swiped" off the
face of the earth everything with
which they had come in contact. "Of
course, they would beat the Ironton
Juniors. There was absolutely no
doubt about it," But they didn't, and
when the game was over the score
stood eight to six in favor OF the home
team. The evening sun shone golden
in the beautiful Arcadia Valley but the
visitors appreciated it not. Their
banners trailed in the dust of humili-
alton and defeat.
1t was reported here Tuesday that
on Monday afternoon Frank Harris
had shot and killed Bill Dooley from
ambush near Loughboro. In view of
the killing of Bill Harris by Dooley
last week the rumor was given some
consideration by everyone and many
believed it to be we'll founded, but
Frank Harris informed B. H. Marbury
over the long distance telephone from
Iron Mountain Tuesday at noon that
there was no truth in the report what
ever. At the time of this writing
"Wednesday noon) no arrest had been
made as a result of the killing of last
week, although a writ for Dooley was
sworn out and placed in the hands Of
the sheriff the next day after the
killing occurred. -Farmington NeWs.
1t is not permitted many of this
generation to live beyond the allotted
three score and ten, and it is a matter
of congratulation from her numerous
friends to Mrs. Theodocia Hall Of 1870
Tenth street that she attained the
above age in full possession of all her
faculties, and still is a charming and
agreeable companion of those whose
pleasure 1t is to know her. To her
friends, and their name is legion, she
has been for years companion, advisor
and friend in time Of sickness OF
trouble. 1t has been her aim through
life to do what her hand has found tc
