Friday evening the editors
were given delightful musi-
cal entertainment at Kessler
hall, which is part of Central
Wesleyan college, and where in
structions in music are given.
This musical entertainment
was followed by real recherche
reception, given by the ladies'
auxiliary committee at the Ia
dies, home, which is also one of
the college buildings. At this
reception, cakes, strawberries
and ice-cream of a very deli
cious vintage" were served and
relished to the fullest extent.
After the serving of refresh
ments, Judge c.. E. Peers of
Warrenton took up the gavel as
toast master and toasts were
proposed and responded to as
follows:
ssOur Guests,' Prof. Henry
Vosholl; ssThe Press" S. How
ard Leech, Slick Index; 'Pro-
gress of the Age" Hon. J. B.
CARRIER; "Mothers, Wives, Daugh-
ters and Sweethearts,' Frank
Marshall, Kansas City Journal.
1t was a late hour when the
editors sought their couches of
repose, feeling under lasting
obligations for the greatly en-
joyed musicale and reception,
and which will long be held in
pleasing memory by the editor
men.
After the association convened
at the courthouse Saturday
morning and was called to order
by President Sosey. Col. R. M.
White, the versatile editor of the
Mexico Ledger who is called
"Bob" White by his innumer-
able friends, read paper on
"The Press and the Worlds
ua:r," In which he showed that
the country press was the daddy
of the big show to be held in st.
Louis in 1904, and urged the i'm
portance of the continuance OF
the corporation Of the press
with the worlds fair managers
in making the great enterprise
outshine all previous expositions
of similar character. Mr.,
Whites paper so well pleased his
fellow editors that a resolution
was passed requesting the ST.
Louis dailies to publish it in full
Next came practical talk by
c. w. Crutsinger, the St. Louis
printers roller man, intersperseo
with such interrogations in re-
gard to the care of printers roll
er as the editors present desired
to be enlightened on. Mr.. Crut-
SIM ger never talks that he doesn'1
say something worth while, anC
what he says is always interest
ing and can be turned to ones
profit. Mr.. Crutsinger is a phil
anthropist to the extent that he
gives the best advice to be had
on the care of rollers, when they
should be made, etc., thereby
protecting and showing a proper
appreciation of his customers
although his good advice otter
keeps money out of his pockets

KEYTEsvnLE. MISSOURI FRIDAY MAY 80 1902
Northeast M,ssour, Press Association

Northeast Missouri Press Association.
The editor of the COURIER and
daughter, Miss Sammie, left Key
tesville Thursday night of last
week for Warrenton, Mo-, to at
tend the meeting of the North
east Missouri Press association
which was in session Friday and
Saturday, May % and "a.
Warrenton is pretty little city
of 800 souls and is located on the
Wabash railway so miles this
side of St. Louis. 1t is the home
of Central Wesleyan college and
is also the place. where an or
phans' home is located, both be-
ing under the auspices of the
German Methodist church, and
are thriving institutions, which
at once commend them
selves to the good favor of the
public. The former institution
has 293 students, who are given
fine educational advantages and
at a very moderate cost, board
and lodging being only $3.50 a
week and tuition $3.50 per term
of six weeks.
The college has sixteen teach
ers, with Rev. Geo. B. Addicks,
D. D., as president, and all of
them seem to be we'll fitted for
their work, and live, earnest ed
ucators who are thoroughly up
to-date.
The orphans home has 90 in
mates and these, where they
show sufficient aptitude, are CIV
en- the advantages of the full
classical course at the college,
which is doing the noble thing
by the orphans of the German
Methodist church.
The meetings of the Northeast
Missouri Press association were
held in the spacious and beautiful
circuit court room at the court
house, which had been elaborate
ly decorated with flags, bunting
and flowers in honor of Warren :
tons editorial guests.
The association was called to
order by President john M. Sosey
Of the Palmyra Spectator at 10
o'clock Friday morning, and the
regular program was at once
taken up.
The address of welcome was
delivered by DR.. Tainter, mayor
of Warrenton, and was happily
responded to by w. D. Thomas
of the Fulton Sun.
Following Mr.. Thomas, de-
lightful violin quartet was rem
dered by Messrs. Morse, Polster.
Linnert and Baloun.
Next came an address by DR..
Geo. 8. Addicks, president OF
Central Wesleyan college, which
proved that gentleman to be a
man of scholarly attainments.
and graceful, fluent speaker.
who fully appreciated the power
and influence Of the press.
At the conclusion of DR.. Ad-
dicks address adjournment was
taken for dinner, and the editors
repaired to the college where
they were entertained, instead OF
stopping at the hotels, at the
moderate price of 81 day.
At the afternoon session of the
association some profitable s'shoI
talk was indulged in, and was
followed by a most excellent and
brilliant paper, read by Frank
Marshall of the Kansas City
Journal, his theme being ''The
Distinctive Fields Of the
Metropolitan and Country Press.
The production of Mr.. Marshal
showed much deep thought ano
careful preparation, and he was

Roosevelt Outdone.

Roosevelt Outdone.
The Baltimore Sun tells of a
recent pedestrian exploit of
President Theodore Roosevelt in
which our national chief execu-
tive lured Boston friend into. a
walk of over sixteen miles, which
was covered in just four hours,
they having left the white house
at 3 o'clock p. m. and returned
four hours later.
The Bostonian had an en-
gagement to dine with Senator
Lodge Informally at 1880 p. M,
and was barely able to reach his
hotel. He telephoned the SEN
ator that all that was left of him
would soon be in bed: that he
had been walking with the pres
ident and the senator would un-
derstand.
Now the man who outdid Pres
ident Roosevelt and his Boston
ian guest is. none other than
Capt. J. C. Smith of Keytesville,
who has charge of Hansman's S
distillery at this place as store
keeper for Uucle Sam.
| Capt. Smith was born March
20, 1889, hence was 63 years old
last March. He came to Mis-
souri, in 1874, and has lived in
this state ever since, which read
lily accounts for his being in the
vigor of his physical manhood
even at SO years of age.
Roosevelt at 43 is not in it with
Capt. Smith at SO when it comes
to pedestrian feats that are real
ly worth Dragging about.
Capt. Smith left Keytesville
Sunday morning at 1886 a. m
and reached Pee Dee, twelve
miles distant, at II 20 a. m. and
attended church, after which he
went home with Judge E. B,
Welch to dinner and came neal
creating a famine in Judge
Welch's bountiful larder.
The captain left Judge Welch's.
fearing that nothing had been
left for supper, at 2:3O p. m. and
arrived at Keytesville at 6 p. NJ,
stopping 10 minutes en- route te
talk to a friend.
If President Roosevelt desires
to continue to be youthful anc
robust all his life and maintain
the elastic step, the bright eye
the rosy cheek and the fire o1
splendid young manhood he
should move to Keytesville ane
take few drinks Of water out O.
the Mussel Fork, which is like
, drinking from the fountain O
perpetual youth and living for
ever.

oLINGHoUsE NOTES

Jno. Short In charge Of the No. |
mine is laying out new work. now con-
tempated by the owners Of this valu-
able properly, is fully carried out ac-
cording to plans laid down, the camp
will be greatly benefited and we doubt
not, that the owners may reap splen-
did reward in the way of knowing that
they hold mine capable Of making
them rich, This claim is favorable
situated in the mineral zone and we
see no reason why an application OF
skilled labor coupled with the energy of
present management need be other
than successful. The progress made
in the development of this property
will be carefully and faithfully reported
in the future.
Operations have ceased for a few
days on Butte and Gold Center claims
as Superintendent Olinghouse left
camp late Monday evening in responce
to word receivedlof the death Of q
brother
Benson & Co., have copper at the
$50 foot level in the Jumper mine.
There will be milling made from
Jumper ore in few days. Values are
said to be in the neighborhood Of $50.
per ton. Ere long W. expect to see
the hoist in running order and at work
at this mine.
VIM. Dondero. is now expending
labor in projecting the workings Of the
Cabin No. D. 1t is reported that rich
specimen ore was struck in the breast
of the lower tunnel on the 5th inst.

prospected for pay dirt, in sufficient
quantity to justify the use of large

will permit of ore being dumped from
the car to ore bin which is to be con-
structed in the near future. Superin-
tendent Poole has an eye to the future
in developing the No 3. in way that
will ensure the owners Of an extra pro-
fit gained through economy used in
handling ore. Undoubtedly there are
other places in camp where. at no
great expense, similar changes could
be made. There is not another line of
business in which there is greater need
of practicing tine most rigid economy
than in mining. 1t pays to study how
to make the mine pay the actual loss
by converting the loss to a profit.
Phillip E. Lawrence Los Angeles

camp examining some Of the propertise
