way from here to Pilot Knob and

we ever knew it to be. Our Valley
roads used to be a source of pride.
But, alas, they are not now.
A deed from the Pittsburg Plate
Glass Co. to the Crystal City In
vestment Co. was filed for record
here last week. The latter COM
pany agrees as part of the con-
sideration to erect a brick hotel to
contain not less than twenty guest
rooms at a cost of not less than
S15,0 DOC, and are granted the ex-
elusive privilege of selling malt
and spirituous liquors in the town
of Crystal City for a term of five
years. The hotel is to be COM
pleted and occupied by June 1,
1906. The Crystal City Invest
ment Co. is a corporation under
the laws of Observation-Disclosures

The Missouri Sunday closing
law was enacted in 1885. Dan
Dunklin was governor at the time
and was passed by the old Wings.
Originally it prohibited the sale of
fermented Dr. distilled liquor after
8 o'clock in the morning, on Sum
day. But in the revision session
of 1915 the words "after 9 o'clock
in the morning" were stricken out
and the present law enacted. 1t
has been the law in it's present
form for go years, and is found in
every volume of the revised stat
utes published since then. This
was enacted before the Democrats
came into power in Missouri and
has been the law since.
State Game and Fish Warden
Rhodes is sending OFT plans and
specifications for fish ladders,
which according to the new game
and fish law, must be erected by
all owners of dams acros streams
in this State, by November list.
The plans as furnished by the
Warden are to be used in the cree
ton of fish ladders, and according
to the new law his instructions
must be followed. The ladder de-
rived by the Warden will certainly
permit the free passage of fish
either up or down stream, if con-
structed according to plans, which
the law says must be done. Over
1900 feet of lumber is required to
construct the ladder. The law
gives owners of dams until No
vember list to have the ladders in
place, after which time they may
be prosecuted.
Emory Grub, R. Asher and
George Grubb have been arrested
charged with stealing seventy head
of cattle from the Sligo Furnace
Co. They have furnished bond
and claim to be innocent. The in
formant is Tom Collins, formerly
a lunky in Grugg's saloon at st.
James. The story goes that one
night in June, 1904, the cattle were
taken from the Sligo pasture and
driven to Leasburg. From there
they were shipped to Kansas City
and thence to Chicago, whore they
were sold. The check was cashed
at the Bank Of st. James. In Sep
TENDER when the Sligo people
started to round up their stock
they missed the cattle stolen and
instituted a search for them and
the thieves. The result of theil
work is the arrest of the men as

The Lopez Store Co.'s Fall Mil
linery Opening last Friday at
tracted big crowds all day, es-
pecially during the afternoon. The
display, artistically arranged, OF
the several articles of dress and
ornament which excite the ad-
miration of the ladies, was large
and unprecedented in variety and
style. Music lent it's charms to
the day, gratefully congenial to
the light laughter from tuneful
threats and the decorous gaiety
that prevailed. Every lady re-
ceived a Souvenir teapot made
from some material the chemical
analysis of which | am, owing to
multitudinous other duties, unable
to give just now. The fair re-
cipients, however, were well
pleased with the presents, as they
apparently were with all the at
PENDANTS of the occasion. AND
why should they not have been:
The Opening was a success in
every way.
