E. B. ALLEN NOMINATED.
To he Internal Revenue
Collector at Sc. Louis.
Given an Enthusiastic Reception on His Ar.
rival Home Thursday Night.

The recep tion given Mayor E. B.
Allen on his arrival home from Wash.
ington Thursday ev ening was one Of
which any man might be proud, no
difference what honor or distinction
had been conferred upon him. 1t
was not swarm Of politicians and
place hunters with ulterior motives
gathered abouta successful candidate,
but a gathering of friends, neighbors
and citizens of all political faiths to
pay their respects to man who had
been honored by the appointment to
one of the highest federal Offices in
the state. Mr.. Allen arrived on the
$40 train and was met at the depot
by a regularly appointed reception
committee, accompanied by the Lin
neus cornet band and several hun
dred citizens. He was escorted to the
opera house, which was filled beyond
standing room, and there given an
ovation such as no other citizen of
Linn county ever received.
In opening the meeting, Chairman
F. W. Burke ittingly characterized
Mr.. Allen as one of the few of us who
happened to be awake when opportu-
nifty knocked at our door. Mr.. Allen
believed there was to be a change in
the internal revenue collectorship. 1t
was his opportunity; he grasped it
and is today receiving the congratu-
lations of a united republican party
throughout the state as we'll as from
many warm democratic friends.
Hon. G. G. Bigger was the first
speaker. In his usual eloquent way
Mr.. Bigger spoke of the honors
achieved by Captain Pershing in the
army and Lieutenant Sam Macy In
the navy, both Laclede boys, and
paid glowing tribute to Mr.. Allen
as man of high character, integrity
and honor and predicted that he
would so conduct the business of the
revenue Office that he would achieve
greater honors in the civil affairs of
our government.
Appropriate speeches were also
made by Judge R. M. Tunneli, G. W.
Green, of the Argus, J. V. Martin, of
The Gazette, D. B. Ormiston, of the
News, and G. W. Northcott, of the r
Sumner Star. i
At the close of the meeting there
was the biggest hand-shaking ever
held in Laclede. .-~. +
Mr.. Allen will be located in St. !
Louis, having an Office in the federal
building. The tenure is for four b
years and carries salary of $4,000 s
per year. He will be required to \
give bond of $4,000. The nom- v
nation has not yet been confirmed by D
he senate, but there is no opposition, a
nd it will be reached and acted upon a
n time for Mr.. Allen to qualify and 8,

MARRIED..

|
At the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Lomax, in La
clede, Wednesday, January "a, al
high noon, their daughter, Anna
Blanche, to Merlin Orrin Wilkins,
Rev. E. L. Robson, pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church,
officiating.
Promptly at II o'clock the bridal
party entered the parlor to the strains
ofthe beautiful wedding march played
by Miss Anna Lomax, cousin of the
bride.
The bride carried bouquet of beau
tiful brides roses. The beautiful and
impressive ring ceremony was used.
After congratulations the guests, num-
bering about fifty, were led to the
sumptuously laden. table by Rev. and
Mrs. E. L. Robson where a repast
was served which has never been sur
passed in our city. The table decor
ations were white and pink carnations
and ferns. Also bunch of violets
sent from Denison, Texas.
Over seventy useful and beautiful
presents were received from the guests
and relatives of bride and groom, in
Ohio, West Virginia, Kansas, Texas,
Idaho and Iowa.
The bride comes from one of the
most prominent families of North
Missouri and Mr.. Wilkins from a
good sturdy family of Iowa. Certainly
Mr.. Wilkins is to be congratulated
upon winning one of the most accom-
plished young ladies of the city and
certainly merits the heart and hand
of the fair lady he has won.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkins will reside
on a farm near Laclede and will be at
home to friends after March 1.

From Over the County.

Rev. Arthur Scott, of Kansas City
has accepted a call to the pastorat
| of the Christian church at Marceline
Three glandered horses belonging
to John Mathews, north of Mead
vile, were killed last week by ordel
of the state veterinarian.
The Mirror is of the opinion that
Marceline should change from a vii
lage to city basis by having water
works and sewerage system.
Two gambling house keepers at
Marceline were fined fifteen dollars
apiece last week, which probably rep
resents as much as one nights earn
ings.
The residence on Ed. Barton's farm
west of Linneus burned last Monday
night. The family that was living
there lost nearly all their household
goods.
The DeGraw, Brookfeld's hand
some new theatre, is now fully dedi.
Gated. An Uncle Tom show held
forth there last Wednesday and the
building is said to have withstood the
ordeal remarkably well.
Bulletin:-"We understand that
Ben B. Edwards, the efficient clerk
of Linn county, is gradually improv-
ing in health and now entertains hope
for complete recovery from his all
ment under the X-rays treatment
which he is taking in Kansas City.
His recovery will be gradual, howev-
er, and right here we would like to
offer the suggestion that in the county
soon to open, we believe
that the multitude of friends which |
Mr.. Edwards has in this county
should and will see to 1t that he is re-
elected to the office which he now
holds without requiring of him any
personal effort whatever in the cam
,aign. Mr.. Edwards and his assist
lnts have conducted the business OF

,ism and, under the existing circum-
stances, we believe he should and can

FEEDING THE ARMY
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COM
MIssARY GENERAL.
Advocates Service Corps - Favors
Instruction Schools in Baking and
Cooking at Militia Camps.

According to Commissary General Sharpe
in his annual report. the sum Of So. 174 59S
was expended last year for the subsistence
OF the army, and stores to the amount Of
$130,057 were lost by fire. wastage and
other causes,
A Service Corps.
The organization of a service corps in the
United States army is recommended for
favorable consideration. It is suggested
that the corps consist Of an enlisted force
to be permanently attached to the subsist-
ence and quartermaster's departments. and
to consist of as many men for the subsist-
ence department (not to exceed LOCO as the
Secretary Of War may deem necessary for
the performance Of the work of that de-
partment, including such as has been here
tofore performed by soldiers of the line de-
tailed on extra or special duty.
Gen. Sharpe recommends legislation au-
thorizing all officers intrusted with the dis
bursement of subsistence funds to hold re-
Stricted amounts of such funds in their per-
sonal possession for ready disbursement.
Attention Is invited to the need of legisla-
ton to authorize the sale at public auction
Of subsistence stores in good condition
which may at any time accumulate in ex-
cess at any depot or point Of supply and
which cannot advantageously or econom-
ically be transported to other points for
issue or sale to troops.
Cooking Schools Favored.
Gen. Sharpe renews the recommendations
made by his predecessors that officers and
civilian employees serving in the field be al
lowed one ration each per day. He recon-
mends that each militia camp have a school
Of instruction in baking and cooking dur
ing its annual encampment; also that the
emergency ration which is issued to troops
on active campaign when the regular ra-
tons are not obtainable be provided at the
expense of the government and not at the
expense Of the individuals, as at present.
Fireless Cooking.
In regard to fireless cooking in the army,
Gen. Sharpe states that the question of the
superiority of the cooking by this method in
comparison with the old has been thorough
ly demonstrated. At the recent encamp-
ment at Mount Gretna the men on outposts
at night were provided with hot meals
without the possibility Of revealing their
position. He says that experiments are still
proceeding with the view to finding a per-
fectly satisfactory cooker in size, etc., that
would be in all respects adaptable to army
needs, and 1t is felt that it will be only a
matter of a short time when the problem
will be successfully solved.
