fellow townsman, Mr.. A. F. Bond,
the popular representative of the
Norvell-S hapleigh Hardware Co.,
has magnificent grounds for a
damage suit against the st. Louis
Republic publishers for that picture
they printed of him last Sunday
in connection vito the account of
the drummers' celebration at Pop

way a faithful counterfeit present.

The cases against Arthur Spaugh
and his mother, Mary E. Spaugh,
for the murder of Sheriff Polk in
this county on May 25, 1905, yer
called in the Reynolds circuit
court at Centreville Tuesday. The
State announced ready as to Ar
thur Spaugh, and the defense an
nounced ready as to Mrs. Spaugh.
Nothing definite has been done up
to Wednesday morning. 1t is
probable, however, that both cases
will be tried this term of court.
Centreville is filled to overlooking
with witnesses, attorneys and visi-
tors, many being compelled to
sleep in tents.
w. III. Blick, who was called
over to relieve Station Agent Sy-
mon,s when the latter was taken
sick a couple of weeks ago, has
given up the job and left last
Wednesday. Since the railroad
company has cut down the force
at this station to one man, the
freight man having been taken off
recently, it is very hard for them
to find a man who is able to handle
the large amount Of business that
is transacted at this station. A
.young man by the name of Geo.
Berg of De Soto now has charge of
the office, and is trying to hold
down the job by himself.-Doni-

A deed has just been placed on
record in the office of Recorder
Cook, which was executed in Ger
many and in the German lang
uage. The heirs OF August Rompf,
who died in this country, all live
in Germany. Rompf left 1850 acres
of land, which was sold to Charles
Prewitt. The deed al made
through DR.. f. G. Reiloff, German
Consul in st. Louis, who furnish
the English translation of its con-
tents. Under the law it was neces-
sary to place on record both the
original deed as we'll as the trans
lation. Recorder Cook was in a
dilemma as to how to get the Ger
man part on record until Rev. John
Rothensteiner came to his rescue
and kindly consented to do the
writing for him. No other in
stance of a deed of this kind is to
be found on our records.-Freder-

The city served notice on Geo.
w Redden last Monday morning
to stop work on the frame build
ing he is erecting in the fire limits
of the city and gave him five days
to remove the same. The only at
tention George paid to the notice
was to employ an attorney and to
60 on building his frame in the
r fire limits. It's the city's next
move, but whether they will move
or not is a question. If this fire
, limit ordinance is no good il
: should be repealed, but if it is
= legal, it should be enforced against
! all who attempt to violate it; we
. know of several cases where nc
; attention was paid to this ordi-
nance and nothing was said about
it, if this ordinance is good, en-
. force it on all alike; if it is no gooc
repeal it at once and pass some
thing that will stand the test

The circus season of 1906 will
according to those who ought tt
know see more of the old fashioned
: wagon shows throughout Mime
$ sofa, Iowa and Missouri than TO
many years. This will be due tt
S the increased transportation rates
9 One manager in Iowa states tina
last year the transportation of hi
IS show cost about $3.50 daily, ant
y this year the rate charged by tn
railroad is $3.50 a day. All shows
.. large and small, have been affecte'
by the rise, and as a result man,
n companies have bought equipmen

shows make smaller Jumps. AM

face to face with the old-fashione
wagon shows of their fathers. c
