Wade johnson Drowned.

The postmaster at Keytesville
received a letter Wednesday
morning from w. H. Gibson of
Oakish Hollow. Vancouver,
British Columbia, stating that
Wade w. johnson had been
drowned there November 6, and
making inquiry as to whether or
not anything was known con-
corning his folks as he (Gibson)
understood that Johnson's adj
dress was Keytesville, Mo.
The only Wade johnson who
ever lived in this vicinity so far
as is known is Wade Hampton
johnson, son of D. E. johnson
of six miles southeast of Keytes-
vile.
Mr.. Gibson's letter to the post
master here was turned over To
the editor of the COURIER, and
we notified Mr.. Johnson by tele-
phone through his neighbor, G.
E. Hurt.
Mr.. Johnson came to Keytes-
vile to see Mr.. Gibson's letter,
and is satisfied that the young
man drowned is his son, Wade
Hampton, and has written to Mr..
Gibson for the full particulars.
1t was six years ago last May
since Wade Hampton Johnson
left home and went to CotoPaxi,
Colo, where he followed mining
for livelihood. The family has
not heard from him for about
three years, and when he last
wrote he said he was going to
Wyoming.
Young johnson would have
been 26 years old the next
January. Should he prove to be
the young man drowned at Oak
ish Hollow, his Charlton county
friends and relatives will regret
exceedingly to hear of his death.
and especially in the prime of his
vigorous young mankind.

J. r. Collet Badly Hurt.


j. r. Collet, father of Attorney
j. A. Collet of Keytesville, was
badly hurt Thursday morning of
last week by falling from q load
of hay. He was driving down q
slight incline on siding piece
of road, and as the hill was
not steep the horses were per-
mitted to trot. The wagon sided
to one side of the road and turn
ed over, Mr.. Collet being thrown
for distance of about % feet
over a nearby fence. Owing to
the distance of the fall and the
hard condition of the ground Mr..
Collet had his collar bone torn
loose at 10th ends, five ribs frac-
tured on the right side and his
right shoulder and breast were
painfully bruised. There were no
external abrasions on the head,
yet there must have been some in
ternal injury as the blood ran out
of his nose, ears and mouth, and
he was also rendered uncon.
scious for four or five hours.
DR.. w. j. Billeter Of Bynum.
vile was called and administer
ed to the patients medical needs,
and Mr.. Collet is getting along
very well, even better than was
expected. He, however. has one
unfavorable symptom and that is
he has been splitting up blood for
q few days, but we hope that
will shortly cease and that the
old gentleman will fully recover.
Mr.. Collet is 81 years old and
his age will considerably retard
his complete recuperation.

only laughs at locksmiths but
at parental objection as we'll, as
was proven by the marriage of
Eugene Stacy of st. Louis and
Miss Jennie Lind CASTOR, the
pretty and petite second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Cas-
ton of K eytesville. Mrs. CASTOR
and all of the members of the
family except Mr.. CASTOR have
been living in st. Louis at 4717
Vernon avenue since last Feb
ruary, and during the worlds
fair. 1t was in Missoari's me-
tropolis that Miss Jennie Lind
met her fate in the person of
Eugene Stacy, then a neighbor
of the Gastons in st. Louis, but
now of 1855 Maffett street. The
bridegroom is said to be a nice
young man, and is associated
with his father, N. G.. Stacy, in
conducting a drugstore at 1927
Newstead avenue. Mrs. CASTOR
objected to the marriage of the
couple because of their youth,
she being only 18 and her suitor
19 years of age, and her mother
had planned f& Miss Jennie Lind
to return home with Mrs. E. j.
Gibson OF Albuquerque, N. M,
Mrs. Gaston's sister, who khas
been visiting her. But love will
find a way, and instead of going
West as Mamma CASTOR had in,
tended, the loving pair met by
previous arrangement Saturday
afternoon, November 10, 1904,
and were married. The COURIER
joins the friends of the charm
ing bride and bridegroom in
extending congratulations and
hopes that all will soon be for
given, and that the maternal
hless;nu of the hride's mother
will soon be bestowed upon
her.

POWER OF THE FLAG
STARS AND STRIPES SUCCESS FULLY STOPS WIFE BEATER.
Russian Jew's Better Half Flaunts It Dehantly When Quarrels Arise
 --Mother-in-Law Also Seeks
 Its Protection.

By the use of small silk American flag the wife of Russian Jew protected herself from the abuse of her husband, kept the latter out of jail, and steered their troubles clear of divorce court.
 The incident came to the notice of Judge Hoard, one of the best-known jur- ists of Shelbyville, Ind, and it is he who tells in the Chicago Tribune the story as it came to him in the course of his services as a lawyer. It will also ex- plain to 8 great many people who have passed 8 certain little home in Shelby vile why flagstaff has been erected in the foreground and why the stars and stripes are there displayed on every oc- casion during the year. #
 One afternoon while the judge was sitting in his office a woman entered the door and in broken language managed to convey to the lawyer the fact that she and her husband had had trouble and that the neighbors had advised her to consult a lawyer. She told, the jurist that the man with whom she had emil grated from distant land beat her, and, as she explained, T thinks he 'buse me too much" .s5,-- .a
 The lawyer managed to make her un- derstand that, under the laws of this country, the husband could be punished for such an offense. When he explained that she could have him arrested and placed in jail, she held up her hands dep recatingly, and when she was further told that such an act would furnish the ground for a legal separation the ex- pression that came to the face of the faithful wife clearly told the lawyer that the idea was abhorrent 70, no, I not do that! I only t'ink he whip me too hard" she said. .s..
 The judge was quick to see that it was a case in which his professional services would not be employed, so he undertook to offer little advice gratis. Taking q small flag from drawer of his desk, he passed 1t over to the woman, telling her that the next time she and her spouse had trouble she was to wave it in his face and to tell him that he dare not strike her with the flag in her hand. It was difficult for the woman to clearly understand, but when she went out of the office she had folded the flag inside of her corsage, and the judge dismissed the matter from his mind.
 A few days after that Jewish looking

Prince Had a Business Mind.

The late Queen Victoria seems to have exercised a suzerafnty over the pocket money of her grandchildren. She held them to strict accounting ill the matter of expenditure, and if they did not make their allowances last over specified period, she stern ly called them to account. One week when the present Prince of Wales was at Eton, candy, tarts and other schoolboy delights proved his financial undofng. He had spent a months $ allowance in one week. With im- pecuniosity and indigestion came re- pentance. Accordingly he wrote a long mea culpa to his grandmother, confessing his fault and asking for an advance on account of the next instalment Of pocket money. In re- ply he received a long letter of ad- monition from the queen, refusing his request. The letter closed with a sentence in which the writer express ed the pain that it gave her in having so to write to him.
 A few days later her majesty received another letter from the fut- ure heir to the British throne. It ran much like this:- ~
 , Dear Grandmother Yours re- ceived.' Please don't bother any more about me. I'm all right now. l sold your letter for thirty shillings to one our fellows here, who is col tecting the letters of notable people, 7"
