LOOKING FOR DOODLE.
Members of Missouri Lower House Say
WhitecOtten Must Prove
Statements.

Jefferson City, March 14.-Fri-
day, March 10, 1908, will go down
in the annals of the Missouri legis-
lature in red ink. Not on account
of the large number of laws that
were made by the Legislators on
that particular day, but because of
the raging tempest that broke
loose on the floor of the house dur
ing that days session.
The defeat of the Davidson text
book bill was the cause of it all.
Representative Chapman of Kan
sas City had made a motion to in
definitely postpone a vote on this
troublesome would-b law. The
motion carried. But this is the
way Speaker Whitecotten an
nounced it:
"The vote stands "a to 60 against
the motion. The lobby prevails"
Instantly protests came hurting
at the speakers head from all over
the house. Representative Wal
lacessof Rails county, who voted
against the measure, cried like a
child.
Itlwas up to the speaker to
explain.
He did.
He left the chair to do so and in
a short but most effective speech
and informed the house that to his
knowledge boodling, bribing, in
timidatiOn and wholesale corrup-
ton were rampant in the lower
chamber of the Legislature.
A motion at once carried to APP
point a committee to investigate the
speakers charges. After long
discussion the members of this in
vestigating body were selected and
it stands:
Representatives Eversole, Wal
lace, Tapley, Democrats; and
O'Fallon and Hildreth.
This committee held its first ses-
sion last night and decided to con-
duct its investigation behind closed
doors.
1t is known that Speaker White
cotten's charges of lobby rule APP
ply also to the alum bill as we'll as
to the text book measure. 1t is
said that he believes $50, 900 was
used to influence members on that
bill.

A QUESTION IN LAW.
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
This interesting legal question
was propounded the other night
by n of a group of law students
sitting around the table of a hotel
cafe:
ga drummer putting up at a
city hotel finds a valuable ring
under some paper in n of the
drawers of his bureau. He informs
the hotel proprietor and a cham
bermaid confesses to have stolen
the ring from a previous occupant
of the room, and to have concealed
it. The address of the previous
occupant is unknown. Now, the
question arises, who gets the ringY
The drummer claims it, having
found it; the proprietor says it is
his until claimed, and the chamber
maid says that she is willing to 60
to Jail, but thinks 1t ought to be
given to her. When the police are
informed they demand that the
ring be turned over to them.
Which of the four claimants has
the best right in law9"

Prof. A. S. Greene, of Sturgeon,

In a FlOurishing Condition.

Under the economical and bust
ness management of Prof. A. l..
Reynolds Capital City Lodge No.
9, A. f. & A. NJ, together with her
many friends, assembled in an
informal way in the A. M. E.
church, March 18th, 1908, ard
celebrated in a public way the ex-
tinguishing of all iudebtness of
said lodges.
Speeches were made by Past
Master G. W. Dupee, Past Master
A. Drake, Prof. j. w. Daniel,
Prof. j. H. Garnett, j. W., Past
Master Richard Winston, chap
lain, G. B. Laue, S. W., aud the
W. NJ, Prof. A. l.. Reynolds, who
is serving his fourth term as w.
NJ, of the lodge.
When Prof. Reynolds was first
installed as w. NJ, of the lodge it
vas about 800 in debt; and dur
lug his administration about $500
more fell upon the lodge from
deaths, funeral expenses, looking
after the sick, etc. All of which
has been paid and the lodge
stands today clear of debt and
owns it's hall with a store room
which brings in $13 monthly.
This splendid condition of affair
is due largely to III most worthy
w. NJ, A. l.. Reynolds. SO we'll
has he managed the financial
affairs of the lodge aud has pre-
sided with such dignity aud equal
justice to all that he has been
elected to the position he now
holds three times without solicit
ing it aud without opposition.
There is not a member Of the
lodge but what would vote for his
reelection at the annual meeting
in June if he would accept, but be
has positively stated that he will
not accept nomination as he wishes
to encourage other ambitious
young meu. He has made the
way easy and the lodge is in such
a condition that The next mau will
have smooth sailing.
Prof. Reynolds does not stand
high only in the Masonic F"aterni.
ty, but he stands high in school
work, in the community in which
he resides and in the state al
large. He is a member of the
faculty of Lincoln Destitute. He
holds three objects dear to him,
His work as a teacher, his church
and his lodge. He has been tc
his church what he has been TO his
lodge,-a fnancier. When the
A. M. E. church split into two
factions, one known as the A. NJ
E. q. church, he was superintend'
ent of the Sunday School. AL
though he was not identified with
the church and only a handful Of
the members left with a deb
hanging over the church Of $1,000
he did not falter. He soon after
wards joined the church and wal
elected one of its trustees. Through
his advice aud valuable counse
the church has reduced the bebt
from $1,000 to about 500. We
as a lodge, as a church and al
citizens + proud of Prof.
Reynolds and feel that it is no
only due him that something bt
said of him but it is due the race

is another skeleton. which hangs limp on the
wall or sits at times in a conversational atu-
tude in a chair, which used to rule over the
bones. but it's throne has been usurped by the
giant
The career OF the present ruling skeleton De-
fore it came to Flower Hospital has long been
a mystery to the surgeons and students OF
Flower Hospital and the New-York Hom9opa-
thic Medical College. Not even William h
Flater, the custodian Of the room, who has cared
Tor the bones until he call them all By name
knew where the giant came from until the other
night. How the secret finally leaked out Is told
best by one Of the medical students.
Just before the school opens each autumn
said the student, William always cleans up the
bone room he knows that no collection of
bones in the United States is as artistic as his,
and he is proud OF the fact. SO this year he
took out all the bones after their vacation on
the closet shelves and placed them on duty
around the room. The giant was again mounted
where he might command all the rest.
As he was polishing this imperial skeleton
with a solution Of ammonia and soap he was
surprised to notice that the great jaw was be-
ginning to swing. At first he thought he had
given the skeleton a joggle, and consequently
be was quite surprised to hear these words:
