how long a dog must lie dead In the
streets Of Arcadia before the carcass is
considered ripe for burial?
The sidewalks on the square north
Of the Odd Fellows building-on both
sides OF Main street-are sadly out of
repair. After a smart shower the I'M
wary night traveller encounters minia-
ture lakes and splashes shoe-mouth
deep into them ere he is aware of it.
This is embarrassing at this season of
pneumonia and colds, and cuss words.
if nothing more evil, are apt to result.
A few loads of gravel would obviate
all this. Will not the city authorities
see that the remedy be applied

Sheriff Polk and Constable Marshall
went to Annapolis Wednesday, and
that day brought to Ironton the wife
OF August johnson. Mrs. johnson but
a few days ago returned from the
asylum at Fulton, where she had been
confined for several months. Tues
day, however, word was received that
she was in a very bad condition and it
was deemed best to take the unfortu-
nate woman in charge again. What
will be done with her will be deter
mined by the County Court next week.
The Citizen learned from reliable
authority to-day that the Iron Noun
tain freight division will be moved
from this place to Hoxie the 18th of
next month. The move will affect
this place but slightly, for very few of
the railroad men whom the change
will affect live here. The locals will
run from this place just the same, so
none of the offices will be moved. The
passenger division will remain un-
changed. In return for the change
four or five operators for a dispatchers'
office will be located here. The Y. M.
C. A. will suffer the most from the
move. Economic conditions are what
caused the change.-Ioplar Bluff CGti-

its component parts, and the perfec-
ton of its construction-but | do beg
the favor of making grateful, If not
adequate, acknowledgment of the favor.
appreciate this evidence of good
will on the part of a lady whose rare
intellectual attachments are unques-
toned, and whose graces of head and
heart endear her to all who know her.
May the recipient ever live in the

Word reached here Monday of the
shooting of James Thurman (white) by
An. Clark (colored) In Greenwood
Valley, about three miles west of
Leeper. The trouble arose over the
possession of a piece of land. Clark
had possession last year but hadn't
got his corn all gathered yet. Thur
man had rented the ground this year
and proceeded to turn his stock in.
Clark demonstrated with Thurman but
to no avail. Monday morning as
Thurman was turning his mules in
Clark shot him down. He lived about
four minutes. Clark left Immediately
and has not been located. Clark is a
brother of Morg. Clark of this place.

The end of some more unfortunate"
is recorded in Mondays St. Louis
papers. We take from the RepW6lic:
"a Coroner's inquest will be held to-
day on the body of Amanda Gnadt,
who committed suicide at the Lindell
Hotel Saturday night by taking NOR
phine. The body is at the morgue,
where it was seen last night by Fred
Hanne of Morrison, Mo-, a relative.
Hanne says the girl, who was ri years
old, was the daughter of julius Gnadt,
a prominent farmer living at Frederick
town, eight miles from Morrison. He
says the girl left home about three
years ago for St. Louis. She has been
engaged In domestic work at No. 4334
Morgan street, the home of H. c.

home Saturday she stated that she was
going to visit an aunt on Chouteau
avenue. She was next heard Of at the
Lindell Hotel, where che was found
dying from morphine poisoning about

was a friend of the girl, and had re-
ceived letters from her, in which she
spoke Of being m%istreated, and said
