revised edition OF the Cook Book
they printed five years or more
ago. The former edition is Just
about exhausted and there are vet
frequent calls for the popular pub
lication.
Burglars entered the store of
Louis Miller in Arcadia, Sunday
night, and secured a little money
and some articles of merchandise
just how much cannot be told.
Entrance was gained through a
window. There is no clue as to
the offenders.
VIM. Lacks of Poplar Bluff,
chairman OF the Democratic sena-
torial committee will soon issue a
call for a meeting of the commit

opponents are also mentioned.-

Word was received here last
week that the wife of John Barger,
who lives at Montana, in the west
end of the county, is suffering from
a well-defined case of smallpox.
How Mrs. Barger caught the dis
ease is not known. The place has
been quarantined and every pre-
caution taken to prevent the
spreading of the contagion.
Rev. A. J. May, pastor of the
First M. E. Church, of Bonnie Terre,
Mo-, has been visiting the Rev. T.
G. Peterson of this city for a few
days, remaining over Sunday, Jan.
31st, and filling the pulpit of the
M. E. Church here; while Rev.
Peterson, pastor OF this place, filled
the pulpit of the First M. E. Church
at Bonnie Terre. Both report a
good time.
The impression now seems to be
that the primary election to nomi-
nate candidates for the county
offices will be held May 21st-the
same date as the Congressional
primary. In that case the ball
will soon begin to roll in affairs
local. The indications are that the
contests will not be numerous.
But that is only a matter of specu-
lation. There may be lots of fun
before the fight is over.
Will Rieke says that some one
broke the lock on his chicken coop
one night last week, and stole a
number of the inmates. He says,
however, that he will be fixed for
the next visitor. Every night now
he places a gun on the inside of
the coop so that when it is opened
by some one not on to the COM
bination the gun will fire. VIM.
says he is going to make it real fun
for the next chicken thief that
comes his way.
The attention of the reader is
directed to a letter written by State
Treasurer Williams to the Globe
Democrat, which appears on the
first page,o of this paper and the g.
DIS comments thereon. The Incl
dent plainly indicates how thor
oughly unreliable the Globe Demo-
crat is in all matters political. But
the State Treasurer was warm on
the trail and there was only one
thing for the CD. to do and that
was to retract and back-down.
And the CD. did it.
Prof. Paul Price showed us the
head, wing and foot of an eagle
killed a week before last by his
brother, Howard Price, near Coff-
man. The bird was of the golden
variety and is very scarce in this
section. 1t measured seven feet
two inches between the tips of the
wings, and weighed II pounds.
Only one larger has been killed in
the locality, and that several years
ago. 1t measured seven feet five
inches between the tips of the
wings.-Lead Belt NeWs.
Reports from the Flat River lead
districts are very discouraging, the
labor question seems to be in a
state of turmoil, liable to break out
at any time, with the mine owners
saying that at any of the mines
where another strike occurs, they
will let their mines fill up as did
the Central. The Doe Run COM
|pany, under the able management
of F. P. Graves, seems to be the
one bright spot in the mining
regions of that county; he has
treated his men in such a way and
the men have treated him in such
a way, that a strike is out of the
question with the Doe Run Lead

The Belleview school district last
spring voted an eight months
school for the coming year. Last
summer the school board made
contracts with Miss Jettie Sloan
and Miss Lizzie Russell to teach
eight months. Five months of the
term expired last Friday, and one
Of the directors, learning there was
no more money on hand with
which to continue the school, ad-
dressed a note to the teachers, tell
ing of the circumstances, and sug-
costing they stop teaching. The
young ladies, however, paid no at
tention to the note and are going
right on with the school, contend
ing their contract entities them to
eight months pay. A lawsuit
