CarrienetioniZed.

''There was something doing
in Keytesville Tuesday night.
!. Elliott Martin and Chas. E.
Veatch went out hunting that
afternoon. While out they drank
some cider at w. M. Cocks, one
mile north of town, and upon
their return they went toaEdgar
Wilks' restaurant and drank
some more cider. Young Veatch
became intoxicated and went
home in that condition. His
mother, Mrs. F. M. Veatch, was
very indignant over her sons
bibulous predicament, and, arm
ed with a lantern, a pistol and
an ak, she repaired to Wilks'
place of business, which his
mother, Mrs. Chas. Parker, as
sists him in conducting.
After paying her respects to
Mrs. Parker and her son, Edgar,
in language not to be misunder-
stood, and also ''raking" some
others who were there at the
time, Mrs. Veatch compelled
Edgar Wilks, at the point of
revolver, to roll the keg of cider
out on the sidewalk where she
proceeded to smash in the head of
the keg with her ak and then
poured out the contents.
A warrant, subsequently
sworn out by Edgar Wilks before
Justice VIM. P. Jared for Mrs.
Veatch's arrest, charging dis
turbance of the peace and the
exhibition of a dangerous and
deadly weapon, was served
Wednesday morning by Con-
stable J. c. Phillips.
Mrs. Veatch was released on
her own recognizance to appear
before Justice Jared for trial
next Tuesday, Dec. Is.
There is quite a division of
sentiment over the matter, some
endorsing and others disapprov-
ing Mrs. Veatch's course.
She is a woman usually of q
sunny disposition, but has an

PreIi Iimlnary Survey Begun.

T. G. Stanley of Sedalia, the
civil engineer engaged to sur
vey the Charlton river with the
view of Strengthening the stream,
began work Monday last, COM
mencing on the Missouri river at
the mouth of the Charlton, thence
north to the county line. At
present Mr.. Stanley has an able

Lahman of Sedalia, and as soon
as the work gets under way a

A COURIER representative met
Mr.. Stanley few days ago and
h ad talk with him concerning
his work. We found him to be
an intelligent gentleman and
quite hopeful of succeeding in
his undertaking to the satisfac-
ton of his employers and to the
great ultimst, benefit of the
land owners along the Charlton
river bottoms.
In advance Of the success of
the enterprise we congratulate
Messrs. Theodore Doerrie, Peter
Witt and B. r. Burlington, the
committee appointed at a meet
ing of farmers held in Salisbury
some months since, for the pur-
pose of raising funds and
securing a competent engi-
neer to make the preliminary
survey.
T. G. Stanley's brother owns
a large and valuable farm in the
northeast part of Charlton county
on which is 10 ocated what is known
as clone Hill," containing some
700 acres in all, the larger part
of which is in the Charlton bot
tom on the west side of the river.

CAPT. DETCHEMENDY'S CASE.
Has Been Placed on the Retired
List

The case of Capt. G. L. Detchemendy of
the 22d Infantry has been settled by an
order placing that officer on the retired list
Of the army. Capt Detchemendy resigned
his army commission in March. 1902. on
the alleged ground that his services in con-
nection with the capture of Aguinaldo had
not been properly recognized by the War
Department. Since then his friends have
endeavored to secure his reinstatement in
the army. The claim was made that Capt.
Detchemendy was not entirely responsible
for his action in leaving the service for the
reason that he was mentally and physically
Ill as a result of hardships and exposure
in the Philippines.
At the last session of Congress an act
was passed authorizing an investigation of
the case Of Capt. Detchemendy and his
restoration to the army on the retired list
If 1t was found that he was mentally ir-
responsible at the time he rendered his
resignation. The examination was recent
ly conducted by board of which Major
General Young was president, and it was on
the report of that board that the Secretary
of War based his action in placing Capt
Detchemendy on the retired list.

Held May s16.
CHICAGO, April 29.-Thes. fourth annual
demonstration Of women In behalf of peace
and International arbitration will be held
this year on May IS. call was issued to-
day by Mrs. May Wright Sewall of Indian
apolis. president of the International Coun-
ell of Women. 1t says in part:
1.-The council has been active in organizing
a universal demonstration on each recur-
renee of the date of the convening of the
1S99 At first 1t was a cherished intention
of the council to preserve In the grateful
recollection of mankind the date of the
conference. but now, a court of arbitration
having been really organized. the date on
which that court was formally convened
namely, May 1S, seems still more significant
than May 15
Hereafter, therefore, May 18 will be OBJ
served as the date of the universal demon
stration of women. The committee having
the matter in charge in this country is
made up of representatives from every ma
ttonal organization affiliated with the Ma
tional Council of Women. OF this commit
tee Mrs May Wright Sewall is the chair
man. The committee has sent out letter
to the clergy of the country asking that the
tional court shall be discussed in some
church service on the first or second Sun
day of May. The aid of the press is also
solicited. The committee welcomes help in
this demonstration from all quarters, par
ticularly from womens clubs. temperance
unions, suffrage societies, missionary socie-
ties and other similar bands of women"

MIKADo REVIEWED FLEET.
Brilliant Naval Pageant at Kobe-Em
peror Compliments Captains.


VICTORIA, B. c., April 29.-The steamer
Oanfa, from the orient. was at Kobe when
the great review held in the emperor's s
honor took place. There were five long
lines of battleships and cruisers all hand
somely decorated with flags The Japanese
squadron numbered forty-seven battleships
and cruisers and twenty-three torpedo
boats. About dozen foreign warships were
present This fleet was reviewed by the
emperor from the cruiser ASama.
The emperor's message to the fleet ex-
tolled the progress of the navy and urged
renewed efforts.
A grand ball was held at night, and when
the fleet concentrated there, forty-one ves-
sells being brilliantly illuminated.
Two Japanese papers publish stories to
the effect that the American officers sent to
watch the construction of the Manila gun
boats built for the United States by the
Uruguay Dock Company were bribed and
passed work which resulted in structural
defects in the first gunboat
The Niroku Shimpo says that defects in
the construction of the first gunboat were
reported by Japanese officers who took her
TO Manila, and as result the four gun
boats now on the stocks are being recon-
structed at heavy loss to the builders
The Japan Mail discredits the story of the
bribery.
A copy of the Singapore Straits Times re-
ceived by the Oanfa say two Chinese, one
OF whom Is believed to be Kang Yu Wei,
the noted reform leader, have been arrested
at Dar1eel1ng, charged with conspiracy
against China and have been ordered de-
ported to China.
Kobe papers report that young Japa-
nese recently dashed into a burning school
to save the emperor's portrait, and was
found burned to death by firemen, with the
portrait in his hands

NO DISCRIMINATION TO BE MADE.
Union and Non-Union Street Car Men
On Equal Footing.

CHICAGO. April 29.-The Chicago City
Railway Company and it's employees are
bound to a peace compact by board of ar
bitration that has been considering a COM
plant on the part of the men that General
Manager Robert McCulloch has been dis
eliminating against the members of the
union. While the board does not find the
complaint justified in the decision handed
down last night 1t does find that there has
been friction on the system that has been
detrimental to good service.
The pith of the decision follows:
THAT In the matter of union and nom
union men the board decides that no
maintain harmony between employees and
employer the company shall not discrimi-
nate against members of the union and en-
ployes that are not members, either in the
matter of appointments or in the matter of
transfer or promotion. and shall lay no
obstacle in the way of peaceable and law
full endeavor to strengthen the union or
enlarge it's membership
1.-THE board decides that the union shall
not discriminate between its own members
and their fellow employees who not
members of the union by boycott or other
wise, and shall pursue only peaceable and
lawful methods to extend its influence and
increase it's membership"

RETIRED OFFICERS UNIFORMS.
Ruling Made in the Case Of Pay Di.
rector Foster.

Acting Secretary Darling has made the
following ruling in the case of Pay Director
Foster, United States navy, retired. in re-
gard to the uniform to be worn by retired
officers on duty:
Officers on the retired list ordered TO
active duty do not, as stated In the third
Endorsement, have the precedence of the
grade from which they were retired. On
the contrary they take rank according to
their precedence under the provisions of
sections 1885 and 1886 of the Revised Stat
utes in the grade held by them, whether
that be in the grade from which they were
retired or in any higher grade under the
provisions of law authorizing increased
rank on retirement.
They are accordingly entitled to the
rank they hold. Among these Is that Of
wearing the uniform of their actual pres
ent rank, whatever that may be, with such
insignia as distinguish the corps to which
they belong.
I'm the within mentioned case, accord
ingly, Pay Director Foster, being an officer
on the retired list with the rank of rear ad-
miral, Is entitled to wear the uniform of
that grade. but with the distinguishing in
sigma of the pay corps only.
Paragraph IL on page 8. under the sub
head General Regulations of general or
der No. 4S (revised), February 27, 1902
ticular uniform to be worn by retired off,
GERS, Its purpose being merely to relieve
such officers from the necessity of keeping
up with the changes made from time to
time in the uniform prescribed for the sew
eral grades in the service"

MANCHURIAN CONTROL

ST. PETERSBURG, April 29-A semi
official note on the subject of Russian poll
cy toward Manchuria, just issued. charac-
terizes the demands ascribed to Russia in
the dispatches from Peking as being simply
inventions, as already cabled to the Asso-
ciated Press on the authority of the Rus
sian foreign office.
mo change has occurred says the note,
in the intentions of Russia with reference
to Manchurta. The exchange of views
about to occur between the Russian minls-
ter and the Chinese government can relate
only to the measures to be adopted for in
surfing the preservation of order and tran
quillity after the Russian troops have
marched out of the province
Russia has absolutely no intention to
place impediments in the way of foreign
trade
