Fifty Dollars Reward.

Sheriff F. M. Veatch has offer
ed $50 for the apprehension Of
William and Henry Gaulding, or
S25 reward for either. The two
Gauldings are brothers and
made their escape from the
Charlton county Jail the night of
the 10Th of last month while they
were awaiting trial for burglary
and larceny, they having broken
into and stolen Is pairs of shoes,
three boxes of white rubber
sheeting and one cabinet file case
from a Santa Fe freight car at
Dean Lake the night of the 26th
of last June.
Nothing has yet been heard
from either since their escape
from Jail.
Below appears a good picture
and description of each of the
the two brothers.:

all prepared in the most tooth.
some style of the culinary art.
We will mention a few of the
many incidents in the lives of
these good old people, promi-
nent among which has been and
is still their devotion to the cause
of Christianity. Mrs. Taylor
was converted and united with
the Baptist church at the age of
1S years. Judge Taylor united
with the same church in 1853.
For a number of years they were
prominent members of the New
Hope church in the Forks or
Charlton and Judge Taylor was q
deacon in the Keytesville Bap-
tist church for many years. In
all that time they have been con-
sistent in their religious walk
and are now as shock of corn
fully ripe, ready to be gath cred
into the heavenly garner.
They both belong to a long,
lived family. Judge Taylor's
father died at the age of 80 and
his grandfather at 95 years. Mrs.
Taylor's aunt, the only sister of,
her father, and husband, VIM.
Edwards, celebrated their Goth
marriage anniversary, : near
Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1888.
The 10Th of August, 1904, will
long be remembered by every
one who attended the late ami.
niversary of Judge and Mrs.
Taylor as a delightful period in
his or her life. Ali came away
breathing silent orison for the
future and eternals welfare of
their aged and honorable host
and hostess. May the pathway
through the remainder of their
pilgrimage grow brighter and
brighter until the coming of the
perfect day, is the prayer Of one
who has had the honor of their
acquaintance for 48 years.

VIM. Boydston Of near Guth-
ridge Mills has instituted suit at
the next November term of cir.
cult court at Keytesville for q
divorce from his wife, Artie M.
Boydston, on the grounds OF
abandonment. The plaintiff
says in his petition that he was
married to defendant May 8,
1888, and continued to live with
her until March %, 1889, when
she, defendant alleges, left him
without any just cause or provo
cation and has ever since lived
separate and apart from him.
Mrs. Boyston is now non-resi-
dent of this state. O. P. Ray of

Bad Roads.

There is hard proposition be-
fore the Keytesville people just
now concerning the condition of
the roads over which farmers
are compelled to travel in order
to reach this town. ), The roads
in every direction have had,
during most of the present sea-
son, places in them that were
almost impossible, and there is
not much probability that the
township road overseers will do
much toward bettering them.
We are not disposed to lay the,
blame for this condition of the
roads to the oad-overseers alto
gether. 1t may be they have
done the best they could. 1t is a
fact that farmers frequently re-
fuse to obey the mandate of the
road-overseer when he notifies
them to work the roads, and for
this reason he is compelled to de-
lay his work until a time that
suits the farmers to suspend
work on the farm. And the time
to suit them is generally late in
the season when the work done
is Of little, if any, benefit. Hence
we may not expect decent roads
at the hands of road-overseers.
And now the question to be
put to the Keytesville people is
this: 'sWill you put your hands
into your pockets and create a
fund to improve the roads lead
ing to town, and then see that
the money is properly expended,
or will you lie still and see the
trade that legitimately. belongs
to Keytesville go elsewhere?"
It is rapidly coming to that.
The people of the Forks of
Charlton have become tired of
pulling through mud between
Keytesville and Gen. E. w.
Prices, and one farmer threat
ems to quit coming up this way
altogether unless the mud holes
i and washouts in the roads are
fixed. Let the people of Keytes.
vile continue in their do-nothing
policy and they will wake up
one of these days and find q
/ gobd share of,their best trade has
forsaken them.

just had the house repaired and
had rented it to a party who in
tended to move in yesterday. An
old umbrella frame found in the

brate that Unusual Event.

of mortals to be permitted to live
in connubial felicity for go years,
but such has been the happy
experience of Judge John Taylor
and wife who live 2 1-2 miles
northeast of Keytesville.
Judge Taylor first saw the
light of day in Bracken county,
KY; September IA, 1921.
Miss Diantha M. Day was born
in Hamilton county, Ohio, o.
tober 4, 1924. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron
Day, who for many years lived
six miles south of Keytesville on
the farm now owned by their
grandson, A. D. Hurt, Jr.
The subjects of this sketch
were married in the Ohio home
of the bride August 20, 1874.
Six years later they came to
Missouri and settled in Bruns-
wick where Judge Taylor went
into the milling business with his
brother-in law, Artemus Day.
In 1868 he sold out and bought
and moved to the farm in the
Forks of Charlton now owned by
J.J Mcfarland. While living
there Mr.. Taylor was elected
member of the Charlton county
court, and served, as we remem-
Der, until the breaking out of
the war. Owing to the unhappy
state of affairs existing here in
1861 the family moved back to
Kentucky. They returned again
to Missouri in 1874 and stopped
for time in Huntsville. The
following year they came to
Keytesville and bought the j. j.
Mills farm and erected a nice
residence which has since been
their home. Three >children
were boIn of their union-two
sons and one daughter. Thomas
B. of Ottu umwa, Iowa, being the
only one now living. Artemus
D. and Anna sleep near each
other in the Keytesville ceme-
terry. The widow of ,Artemus
D. and son, John E. M, now
live in Kansas City. Anna be-
came the wife of Robt. Brummall
of Salisbury, and is survived by
her husband, four daughters and
one son.
There were four generations
represented at the celebration
Monday, August 20, 1904, the
parents, one son, six grand
children and four great-grand-
children. Several of the chill
dren of T. B. Taylor were not
present. The guests numbered
about 80 persons composed OF
relatives and neighbors, who en-
|joyed the splendid feast and
social converse incident to the
Ioccasion.
Among those present were;

ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.

ACC1UENIALLY UkUWN
John T. Hartman OF Brunswick Meets
Death in a Well.
The people of Brunswick were
greatly shocked last Friday
morning to learn that John T.
Hartman, an old citizen of that
place, had fallen into a we'll at
his home Thursday night and
drowned.
DR.. B. Hughes, coroner, went
to Brunswick and held an in
quest at which it was learned
from the testimony offered by
Mrs. Rosine Hartman, the wife
of the deceased, that Mr.. Hart
man went out about II o'clock
Thursday night to get drink of
water as was his custom before
retiring. Mrs. Hartman heard
him at the well and repaired to
her room and went to bed, and
paid no further attention to Mr..
Hartman, who occupied another
room, until 3 O'Clock Friday
morning when she got up and
went into his room and found he
was not there. She went down
stairs and looked all over the
place in the moonlight, but did
not find him. She then went
back to bed and got up at 4:45
and looked again, but still found
no trace of him. She then called
her granddaughter, Rose Dickey,
who has lived with her grand
parents all her life, and told her
her grandpa was not in his room.
Rose went to the we'll and found
her grandfather's hat and slip
pers on the opposite side. The
alarm was given and neighbors
came and found Mr.. Hartman's
body at the bottom of the well
and drew it from the water by
means of grabhooks.
The contrivance at the well
with which water was drawn
consisted of a chain and pully
and these had fallen into the
water. Whether the pully
struck Mr.. Hartman and knock
ed him into the we'll or whether
he was drawn in by the weight
of the chain and pully is not def
nitely known, but there were
no marks of violence found on
his person.
j His wife, his grand daughter,
Rose Dickey, Joe Boyer, j. w.
Mott and VIM. Pilatz all testified
that they knew of no reason why
4 Mr.. Hartman should have COM
mitted suicide. He was at Mr..
Pilatz' house Thursday evening,
and Mr.. Pilatz said Mr.. Hartman
was in good spirits when he left
there about 80 o'clock.
The coroner's jury, composed
of G. W. Rucker, foreman; Tony
Meyer, John P. Randolph, JOS.
A. Isle, Ed Murry and w. E.
Sasse, returned q verdict to the
effect that deceased came to his
death by drowning in his well,
and that the drowning was acci-
. dental.
I John T. Hartman was 80 years
old and was born in Germany
but had lived in Brunswick since
sometime in the 50's. He was a
soldier in the union army during
the civil war and belonged to the
Ninth Missouri cavalry. He
was of jovial disposition and
we never met him that he didn',
have something pleasant to say,
He held membership in the
Lutheran church and in the G.,
A. R. His remains were.laid tc
rest in the Elliott Grove ceme-
3 terry after funeral services hao
been conducted by Rev. Franc
Mitchell of Keytesville.
Mr.. Hartman is survived By

VERY OFTEN figures convey but vague idea
Of bigness or immensely. II Is hard for the
average mind TO understand the full meaning
Of million. much less Of q thousand millions.
When we speak of two billion bushel corn
crop the mind is bewiIdered BY the cold abb
stract figures. The curious individual, then,
who puts Unconditional. abstract figures into
some living, concrete, understandable shape,
does q service to the world at large. Some
such figure man presents our corn crop In this
shape. Were the corn Of seven corn states
loaded on wagons, forty bushels to the load,
and placed 30 the heads Of the horses would
come Just to the rear end-board Of the prece-
ding wagon. and it were possible for this line Of
march to cover the land and sea, an average
years crop from these seven corn-growing
states would make a complete belt Of corn
wagons six times around the world. Place the
crop Of 1902 in cars holding 500 bushels each.
and allow forty feet for car and coupling. and
we would have q continuous freight train
IS, 37s miles long.
