Will Do Mis- sionary Work.

Rev. c. ID. Bradley, who has
been doing evangelistic work in this
county as a missionary for the Amer
lean Sunday School Union, was here
this week and expects to establish his
headquarters in Versailles while he
works in this and surrounding coun-
ties. His mission is to evangelize
destitute neighborhoods not reached
by our churches; combine all Chris
tians in union work; organize union
Sunday schools and hold evangclistic
meetings, and to do work along these
lines without bringing up scctarian
differences. Rev. Bradley's mission
is a laudable one, and he has plenty
of field to work in. No doubt he
will meet with encouragement in this
territory.

A Sad ChrtStmas.

On Sunday evening, December 2lth,
1905. at four o clock, the Death Angel
entered the home of l.. r. Boyce, OF
Bagnell, Mo, and whispered to his be-
loved companion that her work on earth
was finished.
Mrs. Mary Boyce was born August ~,
1875, and died on the allowed named date
after a very brief illness. She was a
daughter of Henry Thoss and was horn
and reared on a farm near Fortuna. She
was a beautiful and accomplished young
lady when she left home to make her
way in the world. We find her first in
Livingston county, Mo, from there to
Jefferson City, and thence to St. Louis,
where she met and was married to Roy
Boyce on November y, 1903. They re-
sided III the city for eighteen months,
after which they moved to Bagnell in
the early fall of 1908.
The remains were inferred in Moreau

Decided Favorable to the Teacher.

The case OF Miss Lizzie Donohue,
teacher OF the Bethel school north OF
this city, was brought before the
Board OF County School Commissions
ers at the court house here last Satur-
day. ThoS. Morris preferred charges
against Miss Donohue to the efiec,
that she cruelty whipped and beat
his sons on October 10Th, 1908,
and had otherwise overstepped her
bounds. After hearing the evidence
the Commissioners rendered a decision

An Old Resident Desc.

Through an oversight last week we
failed to note the death Of James j.
Morris, an old and we'll known citizen
living five miles northeast OF this city,
who died at his home Friday evening,
January 9TH, 1905, aged 76 years.
Deceased had suffered for months
with dropsy, and for several weeks
prior to his death was confined to
his bed.
He came to this state from Ten
nessee with his parents when a mere
boy and has resided here the larger
portion of his life. He was married
to Mrs. Caroline Rutherford in 1850.
To this union two children we're born.
Edward Morris of this county and
Mrs. Charles Parks of Indian Terri
tory, while he had one step daughter,
Miss Francis Rutherford, all of whom
survive him, his wife having preceded
him in death several years ago.
Deceased served as a soldier in the
Union army during the civil wal un-
der Capt. John Sims. He was a sue
cessful farmer and was noted as a
breeder Of fine stock. While he was
not identified with any church he held
to the Methodist faith. The funeral
was held Sunday, the 7th inst, the
remains having been inferred in Mt.
Nebo cemetery, Rev. c. ]. Polston Of
Versailles officiating. Deceased was
an uncle of J. +. Morris of this city.

Real Cause OF the Revolt.

dent Roosevelt with regard to his
civil service policy, has created some
little stir in Republican circles out
side of the small bailiwick where the
paper sheds its light. Those here
who are acquainted with the facts in
the case simply laugh at the caustic
attitude of the editor of the Statesman
in lambasting the President, who has
up to the present been the idol of that
sheet.
In the first place, Baker cares no
more for the Elkins reappointment in
the postofice at Columbia than ne
would for the selection of a consul
to Jerusalem. He simply used the
Remley case as a means by which to
make it appear that his revolt is the
real article"
For months it has been known in
Versailles that Baker wanted the APP
pointment of postmaster of this city.
and he has left no stone unturned to
reach the goal of his ambition. He
worked among the ''big 'uns' at the
head of his party. Softly and silently
he laid the ropes until he felt sure
every avenue was fully secur and all
he had to do was to blde his time and
the plum would drop squarely into
his lap.
In the second place, J. w. Mills.
the present incumbent in the YER
sailles p~ostofice, has held this posi-
ton two terms. and unlike the Remlcy
case. no petitions or endorsements
were necessary to prove his efficiency
as a public servant. Had he wanted
them. lin Mills could have secured the
signatures OF 80 out OF every 100 pat
IONS OF our postofhce. irrespective Of
| politics. to testify to his unblemished
record in his capacity. He did not
need them, and Baker left the petit
ton business severely alone. MIR. Mills
rested his case on its merits, but did
not go to sleep and allow p%ie-hunters
to gobble up the pastry without an
effort.
He not only stood well with his
party at home, but Senator Warner,
who stands shoulder to shoulder with
the President, knew of Mr.. Mills
fine standing in the Postofice Depart
ment at Washington, and was only too
glad to have the President take the
responsibility OF reappointing Mr..
Mills on his civil service code and
because OF that incumbent's strict
efficiency over an untricd novice.
Last week a bomb bursted in the
Baker political wigwam when news
came from Washington that reap
pointments would be made at
Versailles. Windsor, Columbia and
other points where the postmasters
had proven their efficiency and their
records were good.
The cream in the CoCoanut was at
that moment split 50 far as Baker was
concerned. Then it was that he be-
came sore. so sore in fact that he at
once jumped at President Roosevelt.
and reeked his vengeance upon the
Chief Executive until it is doubtful
whether the President could be in
duCcd to come to Morgan county ii
a whole herd Of grizzlies were at his
disposal. Bakers disappointment is
the whole secret of his soreness. II
the President had knocked Mills out
and given Baker the pie, it wouldn't
have made a particle of difference to
the latter whether Elkins or a Demo-
Graf got the Columbia postoffice.
Roosevelt would have been 1T" in

STRANGE Facts.

1t seems strange that sometimes your
stomach or bowels won't digest your food,
no matter what you eat
1t may be the weather, or it may be
just the state of your general health,
but in any case, there Is only one certain,
safe and positive method of cure, and
that is the proper use of that universal
remedy for all forms of dyspeptic trouble
or digestive weakness, whether in stom-
ach, liver, kidneys or bowels-Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Strange, 1t is, that in such little tablets,
to be taken few times day, may lie
such wondrous potential possibilities, that
by their use the course of a mans whole
life-yes, of the world--may be changed
Yet, who would not appreciate the fact
that if Napoleon had not been suffering
from cancer of the stomach he would
have won instead of lost-at Waterloo?
And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets would
have cured his stomach trouble had they
been invented, as they have cured thou
sands of others in the past ten years, who
have suffered just as Napoleon did.
So you can readily appreciate that to-
day, by curing all these people. Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets is helping to get the
worlds work done. by people who would
do worse work If they were sick, so they
must be having a great influence in a
quiet way, on the worlds progress.
They may therefore, be classed as one
OF the triumphs of science, amongst other
discoveries in medicine mechanics, trans
portation, etc.
Let this, then. remain in your memory,
a fact upon which to act when occasion
requires:
When any organ in your vast digestive
machinery gets out Of order. you have
at your command one Of the great inven-
tons Of the age, in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, to put your machinery in order
again.
BY so doing you will save much use
less friction, add to the energy and work.
ing possibilities of your bodily machine.
and relieve yourself from suffering, dis
ease. weakness, premature old age and
death.
All this is strictly In accordance with
the most modern teachings OF the best
scientific schools of health. hygiene and
medicine and it will be to your advantage
to lay these facts to heart

pair of socks, evidently exchanged for
some of the stolen articles, were found
here Nothing was taken from the court
house apparently. The identity of the
party or parties, is a mystery, every track
