A warrant was issued Tuesday
for the arrest of John Wren of
six miles north of Keytesville in
whose house was found a hat
belonging to Mrs. Geo. West of
2 1-2 miles north of Keytesville
and baby cap, stolen from Mr..
Vests buggy in Keytesville the
night of the 4th of last July.
Wren has been in Keytesville
two or three times since the West
personal property was discover
ed to be in his possession, and
he appears to be anxious to hear
the matter investigated. He
claims to have found the hat in
the road in front of Edward
Walters place as he (Wren) was
driving out of town the same night
this Identical hat, another hat be-
longing to Mr.. and Mrs. Vests
daughter, baby cap and a lot
of baby clothes were stolen from
Mr.. Vests buggy AS to the
baby cap found at his house
Wren claims that it belonged to
him and that he bought it at
Blair Miller's in Keytesville
whre it was charged to him on
Mr.. Miller's books. This is the
explanation Wren gives of the
matter and we mention merely
that his side of the story may be
made public.

Cook Case to keytesville.

The S25O,OOO libel suit of
ex.Secretary Of State Sam B.
Cook against the st. LouisGlobe-
Democrat will by agreement of
the attorneys, be transferred
from the September term Of the
Charlton circuit court at Sails
bury to the November term at
keytesville. The defendant 5
attorneys could not possibly get
ready for trial by September,
and for that reason an agreement
0: transfer Of the cause to the
November term was reached
with opposing counsel.
This big libel suit of Mr.. Cooks 8
against the Globe-Democrat
grew out of the attacks THAT
ere made upon him in the
columns of that paper by a
party signing himself sold
Politician" 1t is said only
Capt. King,the editor-in. chief of
the Globe.Democrat, knows who
"Old Politician" is, but it is
reasonable to believe that he will
be smoked out at the trial of the
case and shown up in all his
hideousness as a character
assassin and traducer Of
Missouri's fair fame.
Much interest will be taken
in the result for it will largel y
determine to what extent a great
metropolitan newspaper can
attack the private and official
character of a man without
throwing around it the invul-
nerable safe-gard of truth. If
the truth Of the Globe-Demo-
Gratis charges against Mr..
Cook can be established it need
have no fears of the outcome OF
, the trial. But if the charges are
false then that paper should be
made to pay dearly for its
vallainy.
The attorneys in the case are:
For plaintiff, Will A. Rothwell
Of Moberly, Jas. A. Reed of
Kansas City and J. A. Collet OF
Keytesville; for defendant,
Ashley c. Glover of St. Louis,
Guthrie & Franklin Of Mac on,
Martin & Terrill of Moberly and
Fred Lamb Of Salisbury.

AT the Gospel Tent.

In the special meetings being
conducted under the auspices of
the Baptist church, the first SER
vice in the tent was held Wednes-
day evening. In this initial ser.
vice there was much promise of
good. A large platform was
filled by a chorus which under
the leadership of Rev. A. O. Viii.
hanson, of Kansas City, Mo.
render ed a delightful service of
song. The solo singing by Bro.
Williamson deserves more than
passing mention. The Rev. D.
P. Montgomery, Of Frederick
town, Mo. who is to preach dur
.ng this meeting was present,
and delivered a most forceful
and appropriate discourse. His
text was "make this valley full of
ditches,' and the speaker en-.
deavored to illustrate the follow.
ing truths from this incident:
l. God makes the extremity
of His people His opportunity for
interposition and blessing.
II. Gods ability and willing
ness to meet His people at the
point of their deepest need, and
bless and deliver them contrary
to all human probabilities and
expectations.
III. In order to the bestow-
me ent of Gods blessing, prepera-
ton and cooperation are neces-
sary on the part of both saint and
sinner.
1t is needless to say that the
sermon was well received.
The tent is we'll lighted and
comfortably seated, and even in
this extremely hot weather,
furnishes a surprisingly, delight
ful and pleasant meeting place
No doubt the people both from
the town and country will gladly
avail themselves of the oppor.

Vandalism.

1t is evident that some Key
tesville boys are laying the
foundation for anything but
useful or ornamental lives, anu
unless they change their
course the county Jail or the
penitentiary, perhaps both, will
surely be their doom.
The malicious destruction Of
property or vandalism is a
serious crime in the eyes of the
law, and yet several boys of this
town have been guilty of depre-
dations at the old keytesville
Touring g-mill for which every one
of them could be sent to the
penitentiary if they were only
old enough. AS it is they are
proper subjects for the county
Jail or for the Missouri training
school for boys at Boonville.
The old mill is now owned by
G. w. Surbaugh and has been
idle for several months, Mr.. Sur
bough having gone to Arkansas 8
almost a year ago. Before leav-
ing he locke the doors and nail.

more or less property destroyed
Loose irons have been carried
away by boys and sold, about 1
1-2 barrels of oil have disappear
| ed, brass and other castings
have been taken from the ma
chinery and disposed of as JUNK,
leather betting has been cut into
slips and plated into whips, and
nearly if not all the window
lights have been smashed with
rocks or other missiles.
We do not know what Mr.. Sur
baugh will do about this vandal-
ism when he returns, but if he
should see fit to seek redress for
the depredations somebody's
"darling boys will find them
selves in very serious trouble.
If the lads of this community
were put to work instead OF be.

idleness and getting into all sorts

better off in the present, leaving
