placed in nomination, his name be-
ing greeted by a great outburst of
cheering which continued fifteen
minutes.
John A. Dix, Of Washington coun-
ty, was also named for Governor.
The session was marked by extreme
bitterness. Mr.. Hearst being arraign-
ed and denounced roundly by a num-
Der of speakers.
The language INDUCED in stirred
the delegates into wild demonstra-
tons for and against the sentiments
of the speakers.
The platform was unanimously
adopted.

time he has held a responsible posi-
ton at the depot of the Seaboard Air
Line railway and has made many
friends among the young people of
the town. His bride is the only
daughter of Mrs. W. ]. Witherspoon
and since her debut a short time ago
has reigned as one of our most popu-

Mrs. Beville are located at the home
of the brides mother. The New

bOuntful measure of life's choicest

Mass Meeting.

A mass meeting Of the citizens Of Yer.
s~ailles, Mo, is hereby called to meet at
the Court House in said city at 8 o clock
p. m. Friday, May rs, 1906, to hear the
report Of the committee appointed one
week ago in reference to the proposition
Of Mr.. Quigley to furnish power to the
City Of Versailles. A full attendance Of
the citizens Is requested.

Chairman Citizens Meeting.

past two months, the facts still remain
that the city is involved to extent of at
least $4,000 with incidental indebt.
cdness amounting to about $500, and
no reserve fund created or no way Of
lifting the debt save by overburdening
our people with taxation.
The system is now at its best, the
machinery will depreciatc, and can.
not meet the demands of consumers
in the future unless the capacity is in
creased. This means more expense
and dissatisfaction. The debt stands
just the same, while the life of the
lighting plant machinery is being cx-
hausted and expensive repairs must
be made. With no income over the
actual consumption of light, and no
opportunity to go beyond the present
capacity, how is the city going to re-
lievc themselves OF the burden, unless
a halt is called? The proposition
at hand demands just consideration,
not from past experience, but as a
means Of choking off the strain which
is bound to come if no provisions
are made other than the present.
The proposition offered by Engi-
necr Quigley does not restrict the city
to any number OF consumers. They
will be in position. with the power
afforded. to place the lights in every
house within the city limits. and the
more consumers they have the less
will be the cost. 1t is a matter that
deserves prompt action and reasona-
bic consideration. Such opportuni-
ties do not come every day, and to
be able to clinch them when presented
without bonuses or effort and in a
business-like manner shows the pro-
gressive spirit which builds up a city.
Knockers should be relegatcd to the
rear il they bob up: let WISDOM and
promptness take the lead.
The Lighting system is a small item
compared with a proposition to place
un5ridled power right in our grasp at
nominal cost: power by which our
people are enabled to make a bid for
the largest manufacturing enterprises
in the country. while the smaller in
stitutions will drop in without %solici-
tatlon, and bonus propositions may be
laid on the shelf. The offer made by
Mr.. Oulgley is not unreasonable and
he should be met hall way on this
proposition. even though our city had
to sacrifice the entire electric light
system and start again from the basis
Of an ardlnary coal oil lamp. Wake
up, citizens. and crawl from under
the lethcan spell which smacks Of the
degenerate elements Of fogyism. We
are not against the electric lights as an
improvement, but we ever stand for
progression. You will notice the ''pie
bitter squirm when his bite is likely
to slip from his grasp, no matter how
much benefit accrucs by the slip.

AN OPPORTUNITY AT HAND.
Unlimited Power offered Our City
for All Purposes to DO Laid at
Our Door at Nominal Cost
Shall Il Go From Usp

J. B. QuigIcy, Of St. Louis, pro-
moter Of the proposed power plant
which is to be constructed on Gra-
vols Creek. southeast Of Versailles,
met in mass meeting with our citizens
at the court house on Thursday even
ing of last week 10 confer with then
on the proposition of giving the city
the exclusive option on the power to
be furnished by his company, for all
purposes within the city limits.
Mr.. Quigley is an expert engineer
and constructor Of power plants and
claims he can crib the waters of the
Gravois s o as to generate power for
all industrial purposes here or within
n radious Of more than a hundred
miles distant by electric lines, the
motor system being the basis.
This power has been thoroughly
demonstrated as practicable in many
sections Of the country, and there has
been few il any failures recorded.
1t brings with il an endless chain OF
industrial features and enterprises
which go to make a city and which
could not be drawn here without this
specific item OF power at a nominal
cost on the start. Every enterprise
having to use from the smallest to
the maximum amount OF power. at
once realizes wha, it mean to have
tins motor power ready to attach as
soon as other machinery i, installed,
while the greater problem of expense
is solved. The advantages Of this
class OF steady power are 50 many that
they cannot be enumerated here.
Mr.. Quigley stated his proposition
briefly but plainly. He offered our
citizens the first refusal Of the power
at ic per kilowat per day for the first
800 kilowats. &c for the second Cor
any multiple Of 300 kiIowats), and
&c for all above that amount used.

Hannah Dustan's Heroism.

On the 18th Of March. 1879, in an
attack upon the Haverhill settlement.
the Indians killed some sixteen Of the
settlers and carried twenty more into
captivity. Among the latter was Han.
nah Dustan, who. together with the 9TH
ers, was made to accompany her captors
in their northwsrd flight.
Soon the Indians separated, as was
their custom after foray. and Mrs.
Dustan, Mary NefT and Samuel LON
bardson, boy captured near Worcester,
Mass, became the charges Of sman
party Of two braves, three squaws and
seven children. On the evening 81 March
80, after a torturing march in inclcm
ent weather, they were all encanlped
upon an island in the Merrimac river
near the mouth Of the Contoocook. Mrs.
Dustan had instructed the boy to m
quire of one Of the Indians as to their
method of tomahawking an enemy and
securing his scalp Little dreaming of
the purpose behind the inquiry, the In
dian pointed to his temple and said,
"Strike um here" following this with
a graphic illustration Of the other opera
tion. The boy made careful report of
this to Mrs. Dustan.
On the morning OF the 31st. while
the stars were still bright in tho heav-
ems and the Indians slept on, the cou.
rageous women and the equally courage
Gus boy rose and with the tomahawks
Of their captors killed them all with
the exception of child and wounded
squaw, who escaped into the woods
Then scuttling all The canoes but one
and putting into that gun, toma.
hawk and such food as they could find
they began their homeward journey
They had not gone far, however, before
IL was realized that they had brought
little convincing proof Of their exploit
with them. They therefore returned to
the island, and, by the light Of thu
smouldering fire, scalped their ten dead
enemies and putting into bag thess
grim trophies, padded southwark
through the mists which hung above the
river, and safely made their escape
