NUMBER 81
City Council Meeting.

lily OOuuCIl mcctluS
A meeting of the city council
was held at the COURIER Office
Monday night and C. P. Vandi-
yer and j. A. Collet were sworn
in as aldermen from the First
aud Second wards, respectively,
having been previously appoint
cd by Mayor r. d. Edwards to
fill the vacancies in those Offices
caused by the resignation OF A.
l.. Welch and A. F. Taylor.
After allowing several &C.
counts, en- invitation the council
was addressed by E. G. Han
cock of st. Louis, formerly of
Keytesville, in the interest OF
electric light and water works
plants. Mr.. Hancock was ac-
companied aby Chas. E. Young
of st Louis, who was chief en-
gineer of the water works at the
Worlds fair in st. Louis last
year. Mr.. Young is also a
member of the FIRM of Young.
Fardwell & Hooke, civil eng-
neers, st. Louis. AS spokes-
man for the company Mr.. Han
cock proposed to install an eles-
trio light plant and a system OF
water-works in Keytesville to cost
between $40, ,0eo and s25, 200, and
to operate them provided the
city would pay the running ex-
penses and 10 per cent interest
On the investment, the city to
have the option of buying both
plants at anytime within 1Oyears
after their successful operation
had been practically demonstrat.
/ ed.
Mr.. Hancock was given every
attention by the members OF
the council, who will further
investigate the proposition.
The present revenues OF Key
tesville amount to between ST.
400 and 81 .5O0a year and Of this
amount $3.50 is now paid out
in salaries as follows:
Mayor, S100; marshal, $500;
clerk and,attorney, 500; treas
urer, SOC, land the board of alder
men, 800. This would leave q
net balance of between $3.50 and
$3.50 to apply annually on elec-
trlc lights and water works. The
remainder would have to be
raised by pledge from several
citizens, but just how that can be
arranged is yet to be determined.
The COURIER believes it is high
time that Keytesville was taking
step forward and adopting
modern methods and up.to-date
conyeniences.
This is a day of push and
progress and if our town ever
amounts to anything we must
move up with the times.
Let there be light.
Let there be waterworks.
Let the moss slide off your
back. Come out on the side ol
enlightened people of the pres
; ent day and generation.

committed to the county Jail Sat-
urday, January 21, by Justice

serve out a fine of S25 end costs,
for shooting craps. All three OF

ing to $500 and were released.

for felonious assault on Bob

Houston killed VIM. johnson,
alias Merritt, at Forest Green the
18th of last February, but this
cease against Houston was dis
missed on the grounds that his
killing of johnson was justifiable.
johnson had threatened Hous-
ton, and ran his hand into his
pocket as if to draw a knife when
Houston shot and killed MIN
with shotgun.

An old man. possibly somewhat eccentric in his
ways and with dogmatc views anent food and
medicine, might easily have acquired symptoms
calculated to deceive the eye of even experienced
investigator like George Lester.
The village doctor did not know that his imagn-
airy rival was of the most eminent PSYCHOLOGISTS
of the day Passing out of Edinburgh University
after taking the highest honors in nateria ntedica
and chemistry, Lester at appointed
lecturer in the first of these sciences but
had he laid the foundations of a most successful
career than he imperied his future by accepting
a trivial appointment the staff of West African
exploration company. In reality however he
enhanced his reputation. His studies in plant
and insect poison carried in the Ashanti BUSH
earned him world wide reputation. Before he was
thirty he was famous.
Such credentials, which be secured only by
genius allied to industry do not render
bumptious intolerant Only he who climbs the
tree of knowledge can tell how wary must be each
upward step, and George Lester, the brilliant
investigator, honored by his government, a
recognized authority in the medical schools of
the Continent, in a curiously humble frame
of mind as he entered the village. He already

Before he reached the 'Fishermans Rest" he
had made up his mind to pursue definite course.
His assumption that Lord Arncliffe had been
poisoned, either by design accident, rested on
more firm basis than guess, scientific guess,
it is true, but without the essential warrant of
thorough investigation. Perhaps he was mistaken.

There might be inquest with far-reaching con-
sequences. No matter what the inconvenience to
himself he could not shirk the outcome of his
definite pronouncement in the presence of four
persons. So George Lester wrote short record of
