and dismissed for the second
IL does not appear. that as yet any
great harm has come 10 any citizen
from excessive drinking by a police
officer. but there have been scandals al

Fourth Of July Picnic.

A movement is on foot to hold a
big Fourth of July celebration at
Arcadia, in which not only the
entire Arcadia Valley but prac-
tically all of Southeast Missouri
will be invited to join. A huge
tabernacle tent will be secured
from st. Louis, seating perhaps
1900 people, to accommodate the
audience at the exercises, which
will consist of patriotic addresses
by two or three well-known
orators. One Of the speakers, in
all probability, will be Hon. Mar
tin L. Clardy, for many years
Congressman from this district.
A fine band of twenty-one pieces
is to be on hand, and it is the pur-
pose Of those in charge of the cele-
bration to make this a memorable
event in Southeast Missouri his
tory. Arrangements are to be
made forthe running of excursions
from several railroad points.
