stove wood and quietly hied to the
hen house. He surprised the thief
taking his pick of the chickens,
but when Mr.. Kendall appeared the
intruder dropped his load and
made good his escape.
VIM. Dooley, one of the p%artici-
pants in the famous Dooley-Har-
ris feud in st. Francois county,
was arrested in New Mexico last
Sunday. Dooley killed Will Har-
ris on a train near Doe Run three
years ago, and the authorities have
been endeavoring to locate him
ever since. Sheriff Murphy of st.
Francois county left Monday for
New Mexico.
I have built a large warehouse at
Arcadia where I will keep flour and
feed of all kinds on hand, which l
will sell at wholesale, in one thous-
and pound lots, to merchants, thus
saving them the freight on small
lots. / also have wheat sacks on
hand which l will furnish to farm
ers who wish to sell me their wheat,
and for which l will pay the mar
ket price. LOUIS MILLER.

A marriage license was issued
by recorder Hawkins yesterday to
Sam P. Beck of Poplar Bluff and
Miss Matte Long of Munger.
Both are deaf and dumb. Beck is
a printer on the Poplar Bluff Citizen
and Miss Long formerly lived in
Des Arc. Rev. Steel will perform
the ceremony to-day at the brides
home in Munger. In his long SER
vice in the ministry Mr.. Steel tells
us that this is the first time he has
been called to solemnize marriage
between two mutes.
The ice man says that, so far,
this has been a very unsatis-
factory and Improbable season
to him. He says that if the real
hot weather of a few days of last
week had continued for two weeks
or more then he would have had a
harvest. But he says just a few
days of summer doesn't sell ice.
He still has plenty of the natural
ice on hand and will not have to
import from st. Louis unless Sep
TENDER and October are unusually
warm. The consumption this year
has not been anything like the av-
erage.
Were you ever tempted to think
that the editor was indulging in
personal "digs" when you saw
something in the paper which
seemed to fit your case? Discard
that thought. Remember the old
saying that "Many a shaft at ram
dom sent finds marks the archer
little meant" Why only the other
day we read of a Texas editor who
published the ten commandments
in his paper by request, with the
result that he lost half of his sub
scribers before he could have time
to explain in the next issue that
no personal reflections were meant.

DR.. j. L. Eaton received, this
week, a Columbia Cabinet which
is a complete and combined Static
Electrical apparatus and X-Ray
machine. This is the first machine
of this kind ever brought into this
section of country, and DR.. Eaton
states hat it is the largest and fin
est one he could buy, and a ma
jority of physicians in neighboring
towns have slgnifed their intention
of using this machine; as Bismarck
is accessible by rail from almost
every direction, this useful ma
chine will be of advantage and
benefit to a large section OF coun-
try.-Bismarck Banner.
The world is too full of sadness
and sorrow, misery and sickness;
it needs more sunshine; it needs
encouragers who will lift and not
bear down, who will encourage,
not discourage. Who can esti-
mate the value of a sunny soul
who scatters gladness and good
cheer wherever he goes instead of
gloom and sadness? Everybody
is attracted to these cheerful faces
and sunny lives, and repealed by
the gloomy, the morose and the
sad. We envy people who radiate
cheer wherever they go and fling
out gladness from every pore.
Money, houses and lands look con-
temptible beside such a dispo-
sition. The ability to radiate sun
shine is a greater power than
beauty, or than mere mental &C
complishments.-Er.
About the time the State con-
vention in Jefferson City got down
to the business of nominating a
candidate for railroad commits
sioner, the Iron county delegates
were pretty well worn out and
ready to come home. So they left
the hall, giving Prof. Daugherty
authority to cast the vote of the
county and instructed him to vote
for N. j. Winters. About the time
the vote was being cast, the young
ladies who were at the convention
