The editor of the COURIER was
shown, Saturday morning, a fam :
lily heirloom belonging to Jas. P,
Monach of near Dean Lake,
and of which Mr.. Mon
ach is very proud as it was
once the property of his grand.

him as their manager on leaving
his situation November Z, 1887.
This box is a rare antique and
the work was done entirely by
hand. The covering represents
the rose of England, the sham
roch of Ireland and the thistle
of Scotland, and is both a
beautiful and valuable heirloom,
and it's Charlton county recipient
prizes it very highly. 1t was
given him by his aunt of Phila-
delphia, Pa, as he is the only
member of the family now living
by the name Of Monach, and his
aunt asks that it be passed down
to the ED est son through the

Thos. Coy OF the Hills neigh
borhood is now trapping for
minks. He started to his traps
a week ago and was exploring a
hollow when his feet got beyond
control and he fell. At the bot
tom of the gulch there was a
hole of water and over the hole
there was a log. Mr.. Coy fell
onto the log and into the water
and got wet to his waist. He
tunbled over the log with both
feet on one side and in the water
while his body was PROSTATE
across the log. That isn't all
He proceeded to his traps anC
got both hands fastened in one
of them and had to call on his
son, "Dock," to assist him tt

minus the minks. Mr.. Coy
however, is glad he is living
minks or no minks.

Mrs. Larl1ins' House Burned.

The country residence of Mrs.
P. A. Larkins of 3 1.2 miles
northeast of Keytesville was con-
sumed, with all it's contents, by
fire Saturday evening about $50
o'clock.
No one was at home at the
time.
Joe Larkins, who lives with
his mother, was in Keytesville
Saturday and on returning home
built up a fire and went over to
John Rains, a neighbor, after
his mother, who had just return :
ed from a visit to relatives at
Kirksville. Joe was invited to
take supper at Mr.. Rains and
accepted the invitation, and it
was while he was partaking
this evening meal that Henry
Wright and K. j. Finnell dis
covered that the Larkins house
was on fire, and they (Wrigh.
and Finnel) were the first to
reach the scene, but as the
flames were beyond all possible
control none of the house
hold goods could be saved
The house was insured for
$500 and the contents for $500 in
the Continental Fire Insurance
I Co., represented by Martin &
Taylor of this city.
We sympathize with Mrs. Lar
kins and Joe in being burned out
of house and home in the dead
of winter.

Senior Lambert, who. we under
stand, lived with daughter
about three miles distant from
his farm occupied by his sons,
Jacob and Joseph. There was
not cent of insurance on either
the house or the contents.
Jacob also went over to Widow
Perrin's, a near neighbor, and
almost scared the life out of
Mrs. Perrin and family by
"raising Cain" in several differ
ent ways, but reached the cli-
max when he kicked over a
stove with fire in it, and it
was only by prompt action on
the part of the inmates of the
house in extinguishing the fire
that the building was saved.
Joseph Lambert and w. r.
Mulinix brought Jacob Lambert
across the country to Keytes-
vile Monday, and the roads
were in such condition that the
trip was quite a tedious and
difficult one, and they did not
arrive here until 4:3O p. N.

Our New Announcements
In our announcement column
this week will be found the
names of three more candidates
who are seeking preferment of
the Democratic party for county
offices, They are:
COUNTY JUDGE-WESTERN DIS.
TRICT.
r. T. Morehead of Triplett,
who is serving his first term as
judge of the honorable county
court for the western district is
an aspirant for reelection.
Judge Morehead has made q
remarkable showing for himself
and his district in his official ca
pacity and has taken hold like q
veteran. He has stood firm for
that which he believed to be
right and has never swerved
from the path of his duty. In
regard to the allowance of
certain drainage district fees that
are familiar to the readers of the
COURIER. Judge Morehead says
he regarded some of the items
as entirely too high and very
frankly said 30, and declined to
vote for their allowance, and he
says further that the only reason
he did not have his dissent en-.
tered of record was because he
was the junior member of the
court in point of service and did
not wish to appear "too pert"
COUNTY JUDGE-EAsTERN DIS.
| TRICT.
VIM. Craig, one of the best
citizens of Salisbury township,
would like to be the next Judge
of the county court for the
eastern district. Mr.. Craig is
a native of Howard county, but
has resided in this county for
about 80 years and where he is
held in lofty esteem by all who
know him. When w. N. Ham.
ilton was elected Judge of the
county court for the eastern
district, Mr.. Craig succeeded him
as justice of the peace, first by
appointment and then by cleo.

of good judgment, plenty of
backbone and possessed of rug.

CIRCUIT CLERK.
Our boyhood friend, w. L.
Wright, than whom there is no
more companionable or more
genial young man in Charlton
county, is out for circuit clerk.
"Lute," as nearly everybody
calls him, has been a Democratic
warhorse ever since he attained
his majority and even before he
could vote. Friend or foe has
always known where to find him
in a Democr attic contest, but
when his party nominations
were made he appeared in the
thickest of the fight against the
lDemocracy's political adver.
saries. He feels now that he
would like to be admitted to the
pie himself, and he has
many friends who will give him
their loyal support to that end.
Luther is, unfortunately, a
bachelor, but if he is made
circuit clerk he will, no doubt,
hasten to remove all objections
that may now be made to him
because of his failure to ge5

ALL HALLOWS AND
VARSITY TEAMS MEET
Boys of Catholic Institution
Completely 0utclassed by
Opponents.

The first practice game Of the foot
ball season in Salt Lake occurred at
Cummings field Thursday afternoon,
when the varsity huskios met tho ALI
Hallows aggregation. Although the
two were uneguan-- matched, tho prac-
tlce served to point out the weak points
in both teams, which were especially
noticeable in the defensive work. As
the varsity boys completely outclassed
their opponents, no record of the score
was kept.
Utah Is PenahSed.
Utah was over.anxious TO see the ball
in motion, with the result that the
team was penalizcd about fift~ yards
during the game for offside plays. Both
teams were quick to get their plays
in motion. The All Hallows players
put up a game fight, despite their
handicap In weight.
The backfield on both sides did ex-
cellent work. McKcnna of the unlver-
sity team did exceptionally fine work
at left halfback. He carried the ball
greater distance than any other two
men. His interference was good. Pitt
and Sutherland worked out well at
quarter on the varsity team. Coach
Maddox will have difficult task to
choose the better of the two. The
showing tney make IN ScrilhHldSs Worh
during the next two weeks viii have
a bearing on Coach Maddox s choice.
Barney Quinn did good work as full
back for the All Hallows. Fitzmau
rice, the quarter of the same team,
handled his men well.
The lineup was as follows: Univer-
sity-Left end, Ashley and Anderson;
left tackle, Don Ray; left guard,

LEADERS Of TWO
LEAGUES To MEET
Americans and Nationals of
Chicago Will Play for
World HOnOrs.
OFFICIALS DECIDE UPON
OCT. 8 FOR FIRST GAME
Arranging to Accommodate the
Enormous Crowd of Fans
Expected.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4-The first game
of the series between the Chicago Ma
tionals and the Chicago Americans for
the baseball championship OF the
world will be played Tuesday, October
2, on the grounds of the National
league club in this city. The date
was decided today at a conference be
tween Charles W. Murphy, Charles
Comiskey and Harry Pullian.
Fnps Dollar,
Procedure in determining which team
should have the advantage OF the first
game was distinctly informal. Mr..
Murphy borrowed a dollar and spun
1t in the air. Mr.. Comiskey said
Heads He lost and the discussion,
IN which several newspaper men par
ticipated, turned to the seating capac-
ity and prices for admission to the
games. The presidents OF both clubs
expressed themselves in favor OF or
dinary prices, for the reason that both
the season. Mr.. Pulliam, president of
the National league, set the price ques'
ton at rest by stating that the matter
would be settled by the national com
mission, which has charge of the
games. An announcement on this point
is expected from Mr.. Hermann at Cln-
cinnati. Mr.. Murphy said that by rea-
son Of extra boxes, seating 1900 people,
and circus seats, he would be able to
seat $4,000 people in the West Side
grounds. Mr.. Comiskey declared that
similar arrangements on the South Side
would accommodate 10000.
Seats in Demand.
There will be no material change in
the rules of last years. championship
series in the present instance. Mr..
Murphy wants more room behind the
catcher for his extra hoIes, including
the press stand, than was allowed last
year. Mr.. Comiskey does not object,
but the matter will probably have to
be settled by the national commission,
which meets in Chicago next Monday.
The advance inquiry for seats, not only
locally but from outside cities, is very
heavy, but the presidents of both teams
state that they will be able to care
for everybody.
