Death Of Charles Sims.

Charles Sims, aged about Is years,
died at his home near Glensted last
Friday, after a lingering illness. He
leaves a wife and seven children liv-
ing and two dead.
Deceased was one of the old resi-
dents of Morgan county, being a
brother of Rev. !. +. Sims, the latter
being the only member of the family
now living. The Sims family was
prominently connected with the carly
history of the county and were among
our most highly respected citizens.
Last September deceased and his
wife celebrated the fiity-second ami
versary of their married life, and the
members OF the family living gathered
at home to- enjoy the occasion.
Those of the children now living are
Bud. Thomas, Ebert and Harvey,
Mesdames A. y. Cooper, Geo. Car
penter and ]. W. Jones, all of whom
reside in the county and are among
our best citizens, Mrs. Clarence Ford
and one son having preceded him in
death. He was also a brother-in.law
OF Mesdames John Rankin and ". II.
Kavanaugh Of this city.
Mr.. Sims had for many years been
a member of the Baptist church and
had always been strict in his religious
view and bore his long suffering with
a christians faith. The funeral was
held Saturday afternoon, Rev. c. N.
White of the Baptist congregation
preaching the funeral sermon at the
Freedom church, at the conclusion
Of which the remains were laid to res.
in the. cemetery adjoining. The wife
ChihtEed and relatives OF this WORTHY
and aged citizen have the sympathy
Of a large circle OF friends in thei,
sore bereavement.

He Was From Chillicothe.

The Jefferson City Tribune quotes
Judge w. n. Evans, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, as telling
the following story: A C%hillicothe
lawyer had a case in Judge Evahs'
court in Ozark county. Among the
crowd of "IIill Billies" in the court.
room, as defendants witnesses, was one
in particular whose air, whiskers and
general appearance attracted the in.
terest Of the Chilliocthe lawyer to such
an extent that he insisted that he must
have a snap shot photograph of the man
to take home with him to show what
kind of people lived down in Ozark.
Soon after the photo had been secur-
ed the subjuct thereof was called be.
fore the court. He was the plaintiff in
a divorce suit pending. where are
you FROM" asked the Judge. "Oh. l
an, from Missouri answe, ed the man,
was born and raised in this state"
How long have you lived in Ozark
county" he was next asked. About
eighteen mouths" where did you
live before coming to this county,
Judge. I was born at Chillicothe, Mo.
and never lived anywhere else until
came down here"

in Marvin last Friday morning at 10
O'Clock, aged Is years, 3months and
IS days, her disease, which took the
form Of pneumonia shifted into other
complications which finally resulted
in death.
Thus the grim reaper plucks the
young as well as the aged. Deceased
was just budding into ~womanhood,
and was the joy of her devoted par
ents and the home now bedimmed by
sorrow. Her pleasing manner and
lovable disposition had made her a
favorite with her numerous young
friends. Miss Neva was a grand
daughter Of Mrs. Frances Snorgrass
Of this city and vas we'll known to
many here.
The funeral was held last Sunday,
Rev. G. H. Harell Of Otterville
preaching the funeral discourse at
Beulah church after which the re-
mains were inferred in the Beulah
cemetery. The community at large
extend their sympathy to the parents
in this hour of their deep sorrow.

"The present session Of Congress is
remarkable for the fact that nearly all
of the leading questions before that
body are Of a strictly nonpartisan
character" says the Kansas city
Times. The Rate bill, for example,
relates to a policy twice proclaimed
by the Democratic party, c~rystallized
and urged by a Republican President,
advanced by a Republican Congress
and finally turned over to the man
agement OF the minority on the floor
of the Sanate. The Statehood bill is
neither Democratic nor Republican.
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
went SO far as to dwell on this phase
of the bill and to give advice to his
Republican colleagues such as one
Republican could consistently give
another. Santo Domingo treaty has
been handled with some color Of
partisanship by Democratic Senators.
but OF all the measures before Con-
gress this should have been the last
to cause a party division. Even the
Philippine bill, which may not have
been finally disposed of by the
smothering processes in the Senate,
has completely broken party lines.
The Pure Food bill has not yet been
pressed, but it will certainly not force
partisan lines, for it should have the
support Of every honest man in
Congress. The Ship-Subsidy bill, Of
course, is strictly Republican.
A large dog belonging to a family
named Yaryan, at Carl Junction, near
Joplin. cought a barn burner and
held him until he was delivered to
the city marshal. The Yaryan family
awoke to find their barn IN flames.
When the head of the household en-
tered to save his horse he found the
dog holding a stranger prisoner. He
led u the horses and, procuring a
shotgun, relieved the faithful watch
dog. The prisoner was lodged in
Jail in Carthage charged with arson.
The problem worrying the editor
of the Chillicothe Tribune is this:
