ing was set for Thursday morning
Mr.. Hurley claims he knew moth
ing of the burglary and gave bond,
Frank Bell, after trying most OF
the day to fill a bond, while in
custody of Constable Cowan, gave
the constable the dodge Wednes-
day evening and got away. Bell
is a son-in-law of Mr.. Theobold OF
this city and no one thought he
was leading the life he was. The
arrests created a surprise owing to
the parties being so well known in
De Soto.-De Soto Press. +
The quarantine upon the Jail
will be raised within a few days,
and everybody heartily wishes to
bid a long farewell to the yellow
flag that has so long distinguished
that public institution. Sheriff
Polk is still confined to his room
and will remain there until he may
rejoin his family and the outer
world with absolute safety to
them. Nearly all the clothing and
bedding used during his illness
was burned last week, and the re-
mainder will be sacrificed to the
flames at the end. It is a matter
of congratulation that the rigid
quarantine adopted seems to have
fully served its purpose and pre-
vented the spread of the fearful
disease, of which MI. Folks case
was OF the worst type. He GER
tainly can consider himself hence
forth immune and produce many
a mark in attestation thereof.
Perhaps no section of this great
state is making such rapid prog
ress as Southeast Missouri. We
have untold wealth of minerals,
vast plants are being installed, a
large number of people are
moving in this section. We be-
lieve the day is not far distant
when it will be one of the most
populous and wealthy sections OF
the state. The climate is not so
rigorous as the northern and west
ern portions of the state, the health
of the people is being greatly i'm
proved by the drainage system
that has been introduced, the wat
er is clear as crystal, the people
are kind and generous and heartily
welcome the newcomer. With
proper effort we look for thousands
to seek homes in Southeast Mis-
souri,. But to attract the best class
of citizens, orif we ourselves prove
worthy of our heritage, we must
look we'll to our social, educational
and religious needs. No section
can become great or desirable for
home-making with wealth alone.
Our sons and daughters must have
educational advantages equal to
other portions of the state, hence,
we take pleasure in calling atten-
ton to Marvin Collegiate Institute,
an institution under the care of the
M. E. Church, South, located at
Fredericktown, Mo. The church
has rallied to this college and pro-
pose to make it worthy of this
growing section of the state, and
in this they ought to have the SYM
pathy of the people. The expert
mental stage has passed, the col
lege is now better equipped and
more firmly established than ever
before. A college home has re-
Gently been completed for the ex-
elusive use of young ladies who
come from a distance. The home
and college building are lighted
with electricity and heated with
steam, and thus all modern COM
forts have peen provided. The
property cost about 5000 Rev.
9. M. Gray is president of the col
lege. He, with his family, live in
the college home; thus the young
ladies have a home while they at
tend school, a Christian home with
every care thrown around them.
The aim of this college is to sur
round the pupils, both male and
female, with the very best inhu-
ences, and thus not only provide
superior educational advantages,
but seek to build characters that
will make the pupils an honor to
their parents and a blessing to- the
state; in other words, they are
seeking to make men and women,
in the highest sense of those words,
out of the boys and girls entrusted
to their care.
