A Joke and Suicide.

J. Robert Hord,well known, we
believe, in Eastern Audrain, fired a
bullet into his right temple at
Clarence, Mo, last Friday week
Death was instaneous. The deed
was committed in a chicken house
in the rear Of Mr.. Hord's place. 1t
was a great shock to his wife, who
when the shot was fred, was in the
house preparing to accompany
him to MOberly.
The only message left by the I'M
fortunate man was scrawled upon
the top of box. lie began writing
with n pencil but when the point
broke of he finished his message
with the sharp end of a nail. 1t
read as follows:
No family trouble. Good bye 10 my wife
aud children. My trouble is more than
can bear. These lies have run me crazy
! am innocent Good bye. Love and kis-
SOS Meet me in heaven Bury me at
Andrew Chapel; cheap coffin for body
want my vife Mary.to administer. with
out bond Brother odd Fellows leave
them in thy care.
The lies TO which he refers in the
above grew out of a joke enjoyed
at Mr.. Hord's expense sometime
ago, says the Paris Appeal. Being
in i'll health he had been persuaded
to take treatment from a lady os.
tcopath Some of his friends, it is
said. twittcd HIM about the lady
and from their jocular remarks re.
ports Of an embarrassing nature
got THEN start. Being of a sensi-
tive nature, Mr.. HOrd became wor-
ricd over the talk to such an cx-
tent that it led him to take his
life.
For many years he was a prom
iment merchant at Clarence and
had prospered TO such an extent
that he was able to retire with
property to the extent of $4,000
a few weeks ago. Besides this, ne
carried life insurance aggrcgating
Sc, 900
On the morning Of the tragedy
Mr.. Hord and wife were prepar.
ing TO go TO Moberly TO investigate
position which had been offered
the former, their intention being
TO move 70 Moberly if the position
proved acceptable.
Mr.. HOrd was n member of the
Presbyterian church and an enthu-
siastic Odd Fellow. lie was a
man of integrity and enjoyed the
confidence of all who knew him.
That his sell destruction should
have been caused by such thought
less and baseless reports makes it
doubly deplOrable.

The Burch Bill.

jefferson City, July 9.-The
Legislature last winter enacted a
law giving authority to the board
of railroad and warehouse commits
siOners to supervise under certain
restrictions passenger train service
at stations along the lines in this
state. The bill passed is known as
the Burch bill, introduced by Mr..
Burch of Audrain comfy. Since
the law became effective in June
many petitions have been present
ed to the commissioners asking for
better passenger train service al
various places in the state. Re
Gently there were two hearings Gu
this matter, one at Kingsville and
one at Neelyyille. In both of the
instances it was agreed between
the parties in conference that one
additional train would make rcgu-
lar stops. The citizens of Gallatin
are now asking for better passen-
ger train service at that point, and
hearing has been ordered and set
for Gallatin, August 10,

hilarious. 1t knew the load it car

THE "RED DEVIL"
Judge Kendall Argues That He
Ought To Be Suppressed.

Ougnt 10 be suppressed.
The following appeared in the
Mexico Daily Ledger n few days
ago and by request of n couple of
our farmer friends is reproduced
in the NJ EssAGE:
Mexico, Mo-, July 2G, 1905
From the accidents that we read of
we must conclude that the question
that has to be settled is to which
has the right. of way on the public
roads, the horse or automobile as
with safety both can not go on the
same road at the same time. We
see that in Chicago where there
are many autos, that there has
been seven persons killed and lif-
ty-fOur crippled since last January
in various ways, caused by automO-
biles, and within the last few days
we hear of at least two autos hav.
ing been run at a reckless pace,
and in order 10 avoid a collision
with teams, were forced over an
cnbankment, killing some of the
occupants and wounding several
others severely and ending in the
burningOf the machines. In factlyou
sean pick up Il paper, but you can
see an account OF some accident
caused by these red devils.
Here in Mexico only a few
antos have been, just look at the
damage that has been done. See
ing all of the destruction of life
and property, would it not be well
to ask ourselves the question, '"docs
it pay?' " | think that outside of q
few sports in the cities it would be
the verdict, that it does not. If on.
ly one person would be killed IN
account of them, in hundred
years we would say, no.
| have been talking with some,
who justify the use of the auto, and
their argument is, that the rail
roads and the threshing machines
scare horses. That we will admit,
but it is very different thing. The
threshing machine is a necessity,
aud during the forty years that the
threshing machine has been in
Aubrain county, they have not
done one fourth the damage thai
the few autos have done in the last
year. AS to the railroad, they tCC
are necessity and they own theil
own road, aud keep up their cross,
ings and the people know where
they are, and are suffi .iently warn
ed to avoid any danger, and if thu
owners Of the automobiles will buy
the right of-way through the coun
try and build roads as the railroads
have done, then they might, with
some prOpriety, say they might
run through the country otherwise
they should not, as they are not {
necessity in any sense of the word
They are nothing more than an
aristocratic fad. and ought to bt
condemned by all who value the
lives of our people.
Yours Respectfully,
S. e. KENDALL.
