Reunion of Illinois Families.

Thursday, August 80, 1906, 80
former residents of Bureau
county, ILL.,, now living in Chari.
ton s9 lnty, were royalty enter
tanned at the country home of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter McNeall of
Mendon.
! At 2 o'clock the baskets were
all placed in spring wagon
and drawn by some Of the young
ladies to the nearby woods.
Dinner was then spread on the
ground and each one present
did himself or herself ample
justice, so much so tnat it was
feared that to some it might prove
an injustice. Immediately after
dinner came II large water
melons of Mr.. uIcNeall's own
raising, but they could not all
be disposed Of and had to be
taken back to the cellar whence
they came 80 far as Mr.. McNeall
would reveal to US. Then there
were apples, grapes and peaches
passed around.
In the afternoon music was
rendered by the Misses Emma
and AIDA Crisman, Ethel Nc
NeaIl and Annie Ober and Mrs.
William Palmer. Also an in
teresting paper entitled, ERE
newing Old Acquaintainces,"
was written and read by Miss
Lulu Crisman which won the
applause of the crowd.
An organization was formed
of which they elected William
Palmer of Mendon, president,
and Miss Lulu Crisman of Key
tesville, secretary.
The association was named :.
Bureau County Friendship Re
union;
Annual Reunion of Bureau
County Friends.
Friendship Association Of
Bureau County, ILL.,
And will meet annually at the
home of the different members,
votes being cast each y ear as to
where it shall be held the follow
ing year. This time the votes
favored S. l.. Osborn of Bruns-
wick.
We then adjourned and re
paired to the yard once more
where another feast of water
melons awaited US. Of course,
we could not resist the tempta-
ton and pitched in, full force
Those present we're:
Daniel Crisman, wife and four
daughters of Keytesville; John
Crisman, wife, three sons and
one daughter, S. L. Osborn,
wife, one son and one daughter
of Brunswick; j. K. Ober, wife.
one son and two daughters; Will
liam Palmer and wife and W. S
McNeall, wife, two sons and four
daughters of Mendon.
| Several were absent, owing tC
the uncertainty of the weather
in the morning.
We returned home by moon
light made happier by spending
a day with the old friends from
our native state.

hanging Imply at his sides.
"Lordy -mighty!" he groaned, Nor

damage, but didn't know it could skew

to take meditatin and a lot of it"
Five minutes later he was on his
back across the log cabin-pattern quilt,
snoring with a vehemence that made
the windows rattle.
When at last his eyes snapped open he
realized that he must have had quite a
nap, for the westering sun was blazing in
through the window-and he also realized
what had awakened him. Two strident
voices were vigorously discussing some
thing in the adjoining room.
DO you suppose it's me-" cried one
that's had two men row me down from
Newry Bridge, searchin' ev'ry eddy and
logan of this river for his remains, that

He rolled off the bed and stood in the
middle of the floor, blinking his sleep,
dimmed eyes, Through the window he
saw bateau pulled up on the shore.
Anyone that will ketch and rob the
body of a drownded man amt no better
than a thief" continued the shrill voice
"C1orinthy's GOMEZ" he gasped
You touch that hat or that sack Oh

and Ill drive this hot fat-iron right

Also evident that Aurory is still

to his mouth.

I'D be a pretty spectacle standin
here and givin' away some one else'E

Il call on you once more to deliver

in a voice that grated orninously.

There was equal menace in the tones O
the spinster.

open the door and stepped into the
kitchen, shutting his eyes uneasily as he
looked first at one and then the other

the widow with SO much self-possessior
that Bushee snapped indignant eyes a

Then the foreman of Tiger Company

WORE STEEL LINED BLOUSE
Chinaman's Garment Padded with
Metal Plates as Protection
for Body.

Complete verification of the state
ment that members of the warning fac
tons in Chinatown wear coats of mail
TO protect them from the bullets and
knife thrusts Of their enemies was
found recently when the police, in in
vestigating the shooting OF Willie Lee
York, found an arinored coat In the
room of Lee Pock. his alleged as
sailant The coat is made after the
ordinary style Of a Chinamans loose
blouse and is of blue jean or heavy
drilling. On the body II looks like
an ordinary laundryman's working
blouse. but when the police picked it
up they found out differently.
The garment from hem to neck was
pieces about an inch and half
square. These do not lap IKE scales,
but are brought edge TO edge, and held
with loops of wire. That the metal
lined coat might conform to the body
the pieces of steel were pounded and
made slightly concave. Across the
body Of the garment, back and front,
is apparently a seam, but examination
showed that the coat was made of
double thickness in the lower portion,
and underneath the apron-like flap
In front there was a long pocket like
holster.
The garment weighs all told about
so pounds, and is about hree-fourths
Of an inch in thickness. 1t was
turned over to Superintendent Taylor
and will be taken into court as an ex-
hibit in the case of Lee Pock. who
was held at a hearing before Magis-
trate Gallagher to await the result of
York's injuries.

PLAYERS FROM COUNTRY
Boys from Small Towns Have Be
come Great Baseball
Artists.

IF it were not for the small coun-
try towns baseball would soon be a
thing of history" said Bradley Wal
ters, of Sterling, H. The really great
baseball players who were developed
in big cities can be counted on the
fingers of one hand, | believe. 1t is
the prairie player of the small town
who stands at the head of the profes-
sion.
The reason for this is easy TO find.
The city boy has so many restrictions
thrown around him by the police that
he cannot acquire any great ability.
The urchin is not even permitted to
play in the streets or alleys. IL he
does he must station few boys
around to watch the copper The
boy in the small town can play where
he likes. Then outdoor exercise has
made his eye quicker and his arm
stronger, qualities which are in great
demand In baseball.
THE quick eye develops judgment
In distances, another quality needed
by the baseball player. I find more
enjoyment In watching these prairie
youngsters play than in seeing a
league game. There is one thing
about these kids-they are dead In
earnest and out for blood. They are
your true amateurs, even II they play
for mask, a ball or even 80 cents q
game at times"

lBSEN's CONDUCT IN CAFE.
Frequently Wrote His Autograph
on Request While at
Table.

When Henrik Ibsen lived in Munich
he was a daily visitor to the Cafe Luit-
pold. Naturally he was the object of
much attention, relates a foreign ex-
change.
The most amusing thing about him
was the solemnity with which he used
TO write his autograph for Americans
who came TO the cafe. If they did not
know of his presence the waitress al
ways informed them She was also
willing to take cards over to him for
signatures and he always signed them
without question.
Frequently he wrote at his table and
there were usually pen and ink there.
The waitress would take over a card
with request for an autograph. Sol
EMMY and without glancing from his
newspaper he would put it down and
write his name.
Then he would resume his reading
without any further demonstration of
interest in the proceedings 1t was
in all matters of life.
When he first began going TO the
cafe he started out by trying every one
of the Liquors on the bill of fare. He
ordered one after another through the
whole list until he had sampled them
all. After he had learned from ex-
perience the taste of every one he re-
turned TO his beer or coffee.
When he went to live again in Chris
tiania the Mattresses in the Cafe Luit-
pold lost very lucrative visitor. They
increased very much the amount of
their tips by their stories about the
great man and his willingness TO dis
tribute autographs.

TODAY'S SITUATION
RUSSIA is ON TOP OF THE
DYNAMITE.
A Financial Crash Is impending If the
Peasants Don't Pay Their Taxes
Peasant Uprisings Are Reported
Near Warsaw.

st. Petersburg, July 25.--No word of
military disorders is now permitted to
be published discussing the financial
situation. The Rech today says the
quotations of the Russian securities
here and abroad are not exaggerating.
The paper says financial crash is
impending as the government is re-
sorting to Count Whites old system by
which millions are used in Berlin and
Paris as we'll as in st. Petersburg, to
bolster UP Russian bonds.
This is the only indirect reference
made by the press to the parliament
tary appeal to the country to cut off
the governments supplies by refus-
ing to pay taxes. In provinces the
suppression of newspapers and arrests
OF the agitators continue unabated.
Up to the present time there is no
evidence of the expected general ris
ing of the peasantry but thenews trav
els slow in the country. The only
sudden growth Of disorders among the
peasants thus far reported lis at Kos
troma, 200 miles from Moscow.
