When a man marries widow he
may be the chief mourner for his pre-

All precious things are found

The New Electric Railroad.

1t took a whole column in the
Kansas City Times of the tenth
inst. to publish a dispatch from
Jefferson City concerning the
progress being made by the pro-
moters of the Missouri Central
Electric railway that is surveyed
between BrookfieId and St. Louis,
passing through Keytesville,
Glasgow, Fayette, Columbia,
Fulton and other towns on to ST.
Louis. The company is reported
to be capitalized at 81, 10000
The officers made application
last Monday to the secretary OF
state for a charter. After get
ting the charter it will take
about a month to get the right
of-way and begin work.

the attorney for the road, owns
considerable stock and is en-
thusiastic over. the prospect for
completing the enterprise in
time for the worlds fair in 1904.
After beginning the work of
construction on the line already
surveyed it is the intention Of the
company to survey another line
from Glasgow to Kansas City,
and when this part of the road is
completed, Kansas City and st.
Louis will have an air line con-
nection, that, 1t is believed, will
transport passengers from one
city to another in six hours.
There are rich deposits of coal
in almost every county traversed
by this survey, besides the coun-
try through which it passes is
unsurpassed in agricultural and
horticultural resources.
Why should not this raj way
attract capitalists and the road
be built at the earliest period
possible?

The Criminal Calendar.

Davis Lemuel Jones, alias
George Parker, and with num-
Der Of other alias we wot not of,
was captured in Moberly by
Deputy Sheriff S. j. Shaugh-
messy. Wednesday night of last
week, and pleaded guilty when
arraigned before Justice d. H.
Hancock of Keytesville Thursday
to charge of obtaining money
under false paetenses from Chas.
Parker, a Keytesville liveryman,
some time last July, and was
sentenced to the county jail for
80 days. The old man will also
be required to serve 20 days for
costs. Jones, alias Parker, will
be remembered as the old fellow
who successfully played uncle to
Chas. Parker and worked Mr..
Parker and his wife and stepson,
Edgar Wilks, for few dollars,
but left for parts unknown before
the deception was discovered.
The same old chap worked B.
J. Moore of Shannondalei in much
the same manner before he
claimed kin with Mr.. Parker and
told him he was his Canadian
uncle and led his victim to be-
lieve that all his fortune would
be left to his Keytesville nephew.
Since working his graft on
Mr.. Parker this uncle inpersona-
tor victimized the warden Of the
Illinois penitentiary and quite
likely number OF others, inciud-
ing Mr.. Walkup, merchant at
Steinmetz Station, Howard coun-
ty, from whom he obtained $50
in cash, a duck oyercoat, a cap
and a pair Of boots or shoes by
making Walkup believe he was
his rich uncle. He will be taken
to Howard county to answer for
the Walkup crime as soon as his
jail sentence here expires.
