over the paper at the breakfast table
an all of a sudden he says: Here
something to interest all of us
| Listen:
'''" The police gathered in at late hou
last night a smooth rascal sailin' unde
the name of J. Lester St Clair, who il
wanted in sev'ral places for deludin
foolish women into marryin' him anC
deCampin' with their cash as soon after
wards as possible. In some instance:
! the license, minister and all were shamS
! J. Testers list of dupes, several of whom
were captured through the medium O
mattermOnial bureaus, now number five
with sev'ral cities to hear from. 1t is
rumored that he was about to contract q
sixth alliance with an unsuspecting vic
tim from a country town when he was
provided with quarters at the expense OF
the city, whose guest he will no doubt
be for some days, when small suite at
Sing Sing will be made ready for
him -
Well, ma'am, I expected to see Aunt
Perliny keel over in a fit, an | never was
more surprised in my life than l was
when she fairly stiffened in her chair,
with her eyes flashing fire. Then she
brought her open hand down fiat on the
table an said: The scoundrel!' Then
she give herself a whack on the chest
with her clenched fist, an says: An
I'm as big a fool as he was scoundrel!
After that she sailed into her room an
stayed there all mornin'.
Her eyes looked real red when she
come out, but she was meek as Moses.
proposed a trip down town to see the
sights, an she fell right in with the idee
an seemed to enjoy herself real well, an
thank goodnessl she wore a real neat
black Jacket instid O that red cape.
That night after Puffer come home Aunt
Perliny come out O her room with roll
O. bills in her hand, an she says real
quiet like: Hiram, if it hadn't been for
YOU an Susy | reckon my three thousand
cash an me would of parted company by
this time, so | want you to let me give
you an your wife fifty dollars each now,
an III put you down for something in
my will when l go home
Wasn't that real sweet in her? She
stayed two weeks an enjoyed herself
real we'll She's still alive, but [ don't
reckon PufTer will come in for much
when she's gone
Why not?"
Because within six months she wrote
us that she had married a good stiddy
old widower of her own age in her own
town. We had a letter from her last
week, an she said they was real happy
an contented an they'd be glad to have
us make 'em visit; but | doubt if we
ever do.
"As 1 said at first, it's queer how love
acts, amt it? Still, it d be a lot worse
world than it is if there want no love
in it, don't you think?
Sweet purity gingham dress of your
little girls this is in the wash. It's the
real thing in gingham, but there mustn't
be no soap go on it, an it must be hung
on the line wrong side out an dried in
the shade or it Will fade in the very first
washin'. III put it right out while the
clio 'es-ree1 is still in the shade

$l.OO A YEAR
USED THE HICKORY FREELY.
Five Bruner School Boys Severely Punished
For Going Swimming.

There is serious trouble in the Bru-
ner school three miles northeast of
Laclede, of which Mrs. Hall, of
Brookfeld. is teacher. Last Tuesday
morning five of her pupils-boys
ranging in age from six to fourteen
on arriving at the school house and
finding the teacher absent, went to a
pond in a nearby pasture and went
in swimming, Notwithstanding they
had been previously forbidden by the
teacher to go there. For this all FIVE
of the boys were given whipping
that is said to have been more brutal
than human. They not only bear
marks and bruises, but gashes from
which blood flowed. The little six
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Dave
Stark was 80 severely punished that
he was sick all the next night.
The parents were naturally indig-
nant and reported the matter to the
board of directors, who are F. F.
Welsh, Chas. T. Sharp and VIM.
Collins. The board held an informal
meeting and suspended school during
an investigation. On Wednesday an
official meeting of the board was held
and the resignation of the teacher de-
manded. She refused.
Thursday the five boys, their par
ents, two members of the board and a
number Of other patrons of the school
came before justice O. F. Libby and
after a short conference it was decided
to lay the matter before the prosecut-
ing attorney and ask for warrant
for the arrest of Mrs. Hall.
Two of the boys are sons of Robert
Peacher, one Stark, one Fulton and
one Dudley.

Miss Grace WATSON Married.

Cards were received here this week

announcing the marriage of their
daughter, Grace ", to Chas. N.
0verton, at the Watson home in
Kansas City on June A. Mr.. aud
Mrs. overton >wiIl be at home in
ChillicOthe after June Is. The brides
many LacIede friends extend best
wishes for their future happiness.

Sad Death.

One of the saddest deaths we have
ever been called upon to chronicle is
that of Miss Isabelle S. Fletcher which
occurred at her home in Laclede last
Sunday evening, June 4, 1905, after
a weeks illness. Deceased was the
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. c. Fletcher, and at the time of
death was % years, 10 months and
% days of age.
Almost her entire life was spent in
Laclede and no encomium could be
printed here that would add to her
sweet, christian character and many
admirable traits of noble young
womanhood. Having had her asso-
ciated with us in office work for a
time we know something of her bright
mind, cheerful disposition and kind
ness towards others. In her untimely
death the community has been robbed
of one of its brightest jewels and has
brought sorrow to all who knew her.
She united with the NJ. E. church
in 1895, during the pastorate of Rev.
Dayhof, and lived a pure christian
life. She was member of the P. E.
o. sisterhood.
The funeral services were held at
the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Robi-
son. The attendance of sorrowing
relatives and friends filed the church,
and the floral offerings were profuse
and beautiful. The remains were
laid to rest in the Laclede cemetery.
The loss of one whom they tenderly
cared for in childhood and who in
later years has been such a comfort
and help to them, has been a great
shock to Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher and
in their sad bereavement they have
the sympathy ofthe entire community.

Children's Day at the Presbyterian Church

Rev. Bradley will preach at the
Presbyterian church next Sunday
morning at the usual hour. In the
evening children's day exercises will
be given by the Sunday school. The
program will consist of banner exer-
cises, recitations and songs. Miss
Ethel Bradley will sing a solo; Miss
Bradley and Mr.. Common, duet; Mr..
and Mrs. 81. B. VanValkenhnrg,
Mrs. Georgia Savage and Mr.. Con-
non, quartet, and there will be other
special singing.
At 8 o'clock Sunday afternoon chill
dren's day exercises will be held at
Sunny Point school house, two miles
north of town, under the direction of
7. M. Elliott, superintendent of the
school at that place.

his assurance TO the preSloeht, Oeh"'
tor Aldrich Immediately thereafter
secured from the democratic leader,
Senator Gorman, pledge that if the
house would send over a tariff bill
during the special fall session the
democrats in the upper house would
permit it to come to vote before the
date for the beginning of the regular
session. Of course, now that the
presidenent has deferred the convening
of the special session until so late a
date there is no chance for the demo-
Gratis to redeem Mr.. Gorman's pledge,
while the speakers argument against
opening the tariff question on the eve
of an election has gained added force.
The "stand patters" are therefore
doubtless correct in their assertion
that, while the president has in no
way parted from his original convic-
tion that some readjustment of the
tariff schedules to changed conditions
is essential to square deal, he has
dealt tariff readjustment in the next
session death blow by his abandon
ment of October 16 as the date on
which to convene the special session.
The president has not, despite all
reports to the contrary, taken any
steps toward the promotion of peace
between Russia and Japan. Much as
he would like to further the cause of
peace in the Orient he is powerless to
do anything in that direction without
direct request from the Gear and
then it is questionable if he could
accomplish anything. The japanese
are determined that they will have no
more to do with intermediates, or
even with Russian ministers, unless
the Czar selects an Intermediary who
will guarantee the observance Of good
faith by the Gar. The Japaneze
claim that Russia intimated that she
was prepared to discuss peace terms
after the battle of Laio Yaing and
then when Japan showed her hand
she Immediately ordered Rojestvensky
from Madagascar to Vladivostok. 1t
is further pointed out that when
Great Britain agreed to arbitrate the
Dogger Bank incident Great Britain
agreed that if an Englishman were
found guilty he should be punished
and Count Lamsdorff agreed for
Russia that if the, Russian officers
were found guilty he should be pun
ished. The blame was ultimately
placed on the Russians and the Gar
refused to make good the promise of
his minister by furnishing them. For
these reasons it is clearly intimated
that there must be every assurance
of good faith on the part of Russia
and that the Gar himself must take
the initiative before any effective
peace movement can be undertaken.
