DR., BROUWER is POOR
Says He Must Buckle Down to Re-
trieve Name and Fortuna.

TOMS RIVER, Oct. 19.-Dr.
Frank Brouwer got out on the porch
of his Main street home at sunrise
yesterday morning and drank deeply
of the cool, refreshing air of freedom.
He said it was a glorious thing. All
of yesterday he vas busy with call
ers, many of them on professional
errands, but many of them merely to
congratulate him upon his escape
from the clutches of the law which
gripped him for five months. The
doctor is practically penniless, his
trial having impoverished him; but
he bravely faces his task and says he
will work to retrieve his fortunes and
his good name.
"Extravagance and poor business
Ways were two of the things that
brought me to the predicament from
which I have just escaped" said DR..
Brouwer yesterday. 'If | had been
more careful about business matters
and kept accounts, collected bills and
paid bills, | would not have had all
the trouble l have. Just at the time
| was arrested | was embarrassed for
funds. l had the hardest time to
raise money to defend myself and if |
had not succeeded / would have beef
hanged.
"This property is still in my name.
but there are two mortgages on it
and the necessity of my getting down
to work are confronting me. I'm free.
but my savings for years are gone"
DR.. Brouwer talked freely about
every incident connected with his
wife's death, his trial and his preyi-
Gus life. He attempted no evasion
or secrecy. 81 have been beaten, but
have escaped with my life, and Pm
content. There's no sense in my
nursing revenge at this time, any
way.
All this trouble began after my
wife's death. A relative came to my
house and started practically to de-
molish it. She said it was my wife's
wish that she should have several
things. | objected to the removal CT
some articles, and much bitterness
followed. l am too happy at this
present moment to say anything
about what may happen to some per-
sons who have m%aliciously lied about
me. My lawyers will take care Of
that matter"
The jurymen said that they polled
every night, and that after an extra
long session they decided early yes
terday morning on a verdict of not
guilty.

How to Beat Mail Order Houses.

People must know you treat them we'll
On what you keep and have to sell,
And with the wisdom thus expressed,
You with riches will be bless'd;
You will shine forever more
And beat the big mail order store
Who have catalogs ito burn"
And will "do" you on every turn.
Their price lists come in stacks and
loads,
On rural routes and wagon roads;
They never stop one week or day,
No matter what you merchants say.
You must act wise and in your turn
Show that you, too, live and learn
That there is no means otherwise
Than to hustle and advertise
Every week and then some more
To beat the big mail order store.
Keep the people posted we'll
On what you keep and have to sell.
The trade must know you treat them
right,
BY taking all they have in sight
From the nest OF eYgs to an old tough
duck
Produce, grain and garden truck.
The mail order man does no such thing
He gets the buyer on the string
The cash must come in every case
He laughs and holds them to their place
He seeks the customer to befog
BY means of his willy catalog,
And when he done he turns them loose
They trot to town with their produce.
The only way to beat the deal,
Is to use your head and don't conceal
Your goods within musty store
lust come right out in words galore.
Play we'll your hand, be true and wise
But you must always advertise.

VERSAILLES TO HAVE POWER.
The Quigley Proposition to Furnish
the City With Electric Power
Carried, PAP to 13.

The proposition of Quigley g. Set
tie to furnish the city of Versailles
with electric power generated on
Gravois Creek and to be transferred
by wire to the city limits and to be
distributed on the City's wires now in
use was submitted to vote of our
people Tuesday and was settled be-
yond any doubt when the votes were
counted after the polls were closed
Tuesday evening. The official count
resulted as follows:
West Ward, for proposition 139
/" against -
East Ward, for proposition 1O3
s. s. against - 9
Total 1O9
The total vote cast in both wards
was PAP favoring the proposition and
13 against, which indicates that our
people were nearly unanimous in
favor Of the motor system, and a
change from the present system Of
producing the power to operate the
city's electric light plant, while the
new power, at stipulated price, is
to be furnished for all purposes, in
accordance with the provisions of the
contract.
Now that Messrs. Ouigley & Settle
have secured all rights and privileges
| relative to the construction of their
+ power plant and establishing their
lines to this city from the Gravois
creek, they expect to move their
Offices and full equipment from St.
Louis to Versailles and begin opera
tions at once. The construction
work will be pushed to the limit and
the plant installed at the earliest pos
siblc date. What this means for the
future of Versailles cannot be APP
proximatcd at this time, but it will
be sufficient to fully repay our Citi-
zens for having given the promoters
the rights and privileges required tc
Justify them in establishing their big
power plant in our midst.

EVANGELISTS CONDUCT SERVICES
 FOR WORKING WOMEN IN FACTORY

ened to the evangelist. women whose stopped shoulders told of tho constant bending over machines through weary weeks and toiling years. There were those on whose brows times ravages were traced with lines indelibiy drawn: there were women who had passed the first bloom of youth: there were young women. too, bright faced young women with whom the prospects of life contain something yet of aliurement. something yet of promise, a hope of emancipation from the constant. arduous toll Of the present and something better. farther on" There were a few little girls who looked on at the unusual scene. wide eyed wondering and to them. how ever serious to their elders. the ser vice was but an incident--nothfng more. =
 There were only fifteen minutes In which to tell the sweet, old story. only fifteen minutes in which to sing HIS praise. Yet i nthat fifteen minutes. those two, preacher and singer. preach ed and sang their way to the hearts Of their audience. At first there were those, the timed ones. who stood back, but at the invitation of the preacher to come nearer. they all gathered closely about him, and, when he told them of the invitation to ''come"-that the spirit and the bride say. eome--and He than heareth say, come, let him that is athirst, come.s they listened atteri- lively, even eagerly. When he asked if there were those who wanted the prayers of Gods people, number re- sponded by raising their hands.
 To close the service Mir. Carter sang "Nearer My God to Thee" and at the request of MT. Hendricks, oen after ar- other caught up the refrain and verse after verse was sung by the women, verse after verse of the betutiful old hymn, that for ages has carried hope and consolation to tens of thousands of His children.
 few words of prayer, earnest, i'm pIoring, by Rev. W. M. Crawford. clos ed one of the most interesting and satisfactory of the revival services neid by the Evangelists.
 Many of the women crowded about the. preacher and thanked him for his words and thanked Mir. Carter for his songs, and asked that they come to them again before the close of the meeting, which they promised to do.
