the announcement of John I. Mar

number of terms and has made a
SPLENDID official. We have no
doubt that his excellent record
will be endorsed by the voters of
the township on the coming cleo

The st. Louis papers contained

While on a recent trip to St.
Louis the editor had the pleasure
of an hours talk with his old
friend, Barney Frauenthal. Barney
is now ticket agent for the Ter
minal Railroad Association and a
very busy man he is, too. But for
all his time is pretty we'll occupied
he is the same clever, genial, big
hearted and unselfish fellow of the
days of yore, when he had MOTH
ing (?) to do but sit in the Bureau
of Information window and answer
questions. Here's hoping that
health, happiness and wealth will
come to Barney and his!
Mr. and Mrs. N. H. MARBLE and
daughter, Miss Cleo, will leave to-
morrow for Coulterville, ILL.,, where
they will in the future reside. We
voice the sentiments Of all of Pop
lar Bluffs best citizens, when we
say chat our city loses. one of it's
most estimable families in their
removal. Mr.. MARBLE has just fin
ished an exquisite home in the
Illinois city and owing to Mrs.
MARBLES iii health decided to re-
move to that city. We can cheer
fully recommend this family to the
very best people of Coulterville
and say they will prove a valuable
addition to the society of that
place. Our loss is truly the gain
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Bluff Citi-
zen.
Barney Petty arrived home last
Saturday from his second seasons
engagement with the st. Louis
Browns. Barney has established
a splendid reputation as pitcher in
the American league, being second
in percentage on his team
this year. His pitching was most
ly of a high~class, but his team
made a miserable record at the bat,
which cut down their percentage
and kept them down to ''third
from last" position in the pennant
race, when their other work really
deserved a place at the top. Barn
ey will probably play with the
Browns again next year. He is
looking fine, feels well, likes the
profession and enjoys drawing his
$500 ''per." He is a good fellow
and we are glad of his success.
He and his estimable wife will
probably spend the winter in
