A FIENDISH ACT.
Boy Sets Fire to Another's Clothes
Roasted i've.

Hannibal, Mo, Aug. 31.-Chas.
Christian, the 11.year. old son of
Lee Christian, was burned fatally
at Union street here tonight by
another boy named McLain, who
dashed a can CT gasoline over the
clothes of young Christian and
then applied a lighted match.
Christian was playing on the
street with several other boys when
the McLain boy walked up, swing
ing gasoline can. lie approach
ed and told Christian he was go
ing to roast him alive. Tne boy
thought that McLain was joking
and paid no attention to him.
McLain then went into the store
of Edward Eales, nearby, aud
bought can of gasoline. He
came back to the place where young
Christian was playing and repeat
ed his threat.
Quickly unscrewing the cap of
the can, he rushed upon Christian
drenchcd him from head to foot
with h gasoline. Christian
started to run and McLaiu follow
ed.
He caught the fleeing boy,
lighted Il match, aud reaching
down touched the blazing bit of
wood to Christians trousers, which
were thoroughly soaked with the
fluid.
Instantly the boy was enveloped
in flames. lie was Immediately
overcome aud fell TO the ground
fighting the flames, which blazed
around his head as he rolled in the
st rect.
Many persons ran hastily to the
scene when they saw The flames.
Rolling the boy in coats and other
garments they quickly extinguised
the flames.
Every stitch of clothing had been
burned from young Christians
back by the blazing gasoline, and
he was literally roasted alive.
Doctors Clifton and Kabler were
called at once but they pronounced
the case hopeless, and it is expect
ed that young Christian, who has
been Unconscious, will die before
morning.
The McLain boy has been ar
rested. He offers no explanation
for the deed, and there is a belief
that he is mentally unbalanced.

Comments the Farber Forum:
The cases against j. r. Brown and
7. R. Miles for selling liquor at
Farber did not come up at Mexico

given a bond of 81 900 not to sell
any more intoxicating liquor, and
that he is to mail his government

hence we give the above facts, W.
honor Mr.. Orear for pushing these

essary and is determined to use ey'
cry effort TO enforce the law. IL

Mexico Missouri message., 1905-09-07

A Mexico young lady played a
cruel joke on her mother the other
day, so the story goes. She acci-
IDENTIFY found letter that her faith
er had written to her mother in
their halcyon days Of courtship.
She read the letter to her mother,
substituting her own name and that
of her lover. The mother raved
with anger, stamped her foot in
disgust, and forbade her daugh-
ter's having anything to do with
a man who would write such sick
ening, nonsensical stuff to a girl.
The girl then gave the letter to
her mother to read, and at once
the house became so quiet you
could hear the grass grow in the
back yard.

Of Curryville, Mo. Mr.. Gates is a
merchant and has come to buy his
fall and winter goods. He regis
tered at the Interstate merchants

Mr.. Gates whiskers are four
feet in length. They are of a
brunette shade and there are no
signs of silver threads among the
black, altho their owner is well
past so years of age. They grew
very rapidly from the start, and
nothing in the way of hair tonic
has has been used to encourage
them. Mr.. Gates attributes their
fourishing condition to the climate
of Missouri.
There is no Haunting Of his SUI
periority on the part OF Mr.. Gates
Instead of going among the peo'
pie with his luxuriaut beard dis
played, he has the whiskers neatly
braided and tucked away under
his vest. This tends to make him
stouter than what he really is and
makes it harder for the breezes t
whistle thru.
