A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
James Arthur WitherS Found
Dead i'm His Fathers Drug
Store at MarceIine.

The Marceline Mirror of last
week contained the following &C.
count of the mysterious death of
James Arthur Withers, the 81
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alonzo Withers of Marceline,
who formerly made their home at
Westville, this county, where
the senior Withers was engaged
in the drug business:
At 6:15 Wednesday morning,
Alonzo Withers, proprietor of
drug store on Kansas avenue in
this city, found the dead body #
his son, James Arthur, in the
store. The cause of the young
mans death is still a mystery,
but it is thought now that it may
have been due to his having
taken an overdose of acetanilld
for the purpose of curing head.
ache.
The body was found at the top
of the stairway leading to the
wall paper room, the left hand
supporting the head and the left
elbow and left side of the body
resting on the floor of the room
while the feet and legs were on
the upper steps. The young
man had evidently gone. to the
head of the stairs and taken q
seat on the top landing. He had
placed a broom handle across
q projection on either side of the
landing, in front of him, evident.
ly in order to prevent himself
from falling.
When the senior Withers found
his son, he at once called medi-
cal assistance, Drs. Perrin
and B. B. Putnam being the first
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1907-09-20

and still mentioned bis headache.
When he returned to the store
his father, before leaving, asked
him to come home early.
The son told him he had an en-
gagement at $50 but would
start for home as soon as pos
sible afterwards.
Mr.. Withers went home and
retired, thinking little more
about the matter, as his son was
usually prompt. In the morning
on finding that James had not
come home, he hurried to the
store and made the shocking
discovery decribed above. The
young man had evidently been
in the store all night.
On account of a morphine
bottle being out of it's place, Mr.
Withers' first conjecture was
that he had taken the drug with
suicidal intent, though he knew
of no sufficient reason for his
doing so. Afterward he found

physicians to arrive. They ssaw
at once that it was too late to
render aid. While the body was
still warm, the young man had
probably been dead an hour.
After being taken to the rooms
of local undertaken, the remains
were carried to the Withers home
on West Gracia.
James Withers, the elder son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alonzo Withers
of Marceline, recently came here
to assist in conducting the drug
store at DR.. Shelton's old stand,
bought last spring by his father.
He was at work as usual Tuesday
though he complained to a mum.

he had had some dental work
done and had resorted to the
use of liquor to allay the pain,
using it also on the day follow
ing. He went to supper at the
usual time Tuesday, but ate little

that a customer had been served
from this bottle, and it was left
exactly where it had been then.
In the space at the rear of the
store, behind the prescription
case, a bottle of acetanilid:tablets
had been taken down from it's
place.
Each of these tablets contain
three grains of aoetanilid, aswell
known heart-suppressant, much
used for headache medicine
''Four of these would!provekfatal
to any one having a weak sheart
such as my son had," ..said tMr.
Withers, "and, as Isknow of no
motive for suicide, its.seems that
Jimmie might have taken an
overdose of these while trying
to cure his headache"
James Arthur Withers was 81
years and 25 days old, having
been born August II, 1880, in
Charlton county. He was an
unusually bright boy, and his
father spared no means in edu.
eating him. He became "a COM
petent accountant and book.
keeper, and for several years has
held positions in Kansas City,
until coming here this summer.
While of a quiet and reserved
disposition, he had many friends,
and in a business way attracted
all by a gentlemanly demeanor.
The blow to his parents and
brother and sister was as heavy
as it was sudden, and they have
the sympathy of the entire com.
munity.

Crops Good and Prices Higher Than
Since the Civil War.

Adverting to high prices of all
products of the farm, the ReaAing
Times says: This has been a farm

as rule, been good, but the prices
of everything the farmer has to sell
have been higher, perhaps, than at
any time since the civil war. All
spring and summer long the price
of eggs has been 20 cents and over;
butter has been anywhere from IS
and IS cents per pound; wild ber-
rles, that need only to be gathered,
have been selling at from I3 to IS
cents per quart; corn and oats have
not been so high in years, notwith-
standing the excellent crops Of last
year; wheat is also up, and may 60

higher in this market than during

An Effect Of Idleness.

With the coming of the apart.
ment hotel has come a problem
Its injurious effect upon women
who occupy it is alarming. They
become mentally, morally and ply
sically fabby. The principal rea.
son for the development of the
apartment hotel is that life, daily
life, everyday life, might be made
easy for the mistress of the home.
1t has been. In the apartment
hotel she has absolutely nothing to
do, and we all know who provides
mischief for idle hands and idle
minds. says the Delineator.
The number of women thus
liberated from the "degrading
drudgery" of homely plain duties

vertisement which causes false

women dogs take the place of child

there must be something to cuddle,

these women which often leads to

RURAL DELIVERY.
0yor Thirty.seycn thousand Routes in
Operation.

A statement issued by the assist
ant postmaster general shows that
there are now $1,000 rural delivery
routes in the United States. The
largest number in any common
wealth is credited to Illinois, which
has ATS. Closely following the
leader are Ohio with 2,492, Iowa
with 2,3o3 and Indiana with 2,I3o.
Pennsylvania is the only other state
with more than 1000. If to the
central western states mentioned
there are added the showing of
M chigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Missouri, the total of routes is
more than II, 500. Figures indica-
ting the amount of business hand
led seem to show all increasing
popularity. Thus there are report
ed to be forty-six routes on which
more than 5000 pieces of mail are
handled every month, ten OF these
having a record of over 10000
pieces. Taking the country over,
the average number of pieces OF
mail handled on a rural route each
month is 4,425, again of twenty
per cent. over the showing of a
year ago, when the number was
1858. What is more encouraging
is that few routes show any falling
off, the gain being general.

MiltOn's Big Fair.
Everything Points to Good Fair and q
Large Attendance.

The Milton fair, which will be
held on the Ist, and, 3rd and 4th
of October this year, never had a
brighter prospect for a good fair
and a large attendance. The man
agement of the Milton fair has es-
tablished a reputation for square
dealing with its exhibitors and for
giving the public the best enter
tainment of any fair in Central
Pennsylvania 1t takes every pre-
caution to protect its patrons and
permits no gamblers or disreputa-
BILE characters on the grounds.
These features have won the conf
dence and respect of the public,
and the Milton fair lives and pros
pers while many other fairs have
either quit business or are dragging
along on the ragged edge. The
heads of the several departments
report that the indications are for
large increase in exhibits. The
racing this year will be better than
ever. The midway will be a pop
ular feature and will be free from
anything immoral or Objectionable,
and the attractions are the best
that money can procure. ExCur-

The Merry Opera of The Toymakers'

Those who want to laugh and
forget dull care" have treat in
store for them in the new comic
opera which like the book, is called
The Toymakers," and will soon
be a delightful attraction in this
city at the Opera House, and from
all advance information, those who
like to be amused will be sure to
want to see this musical absurdity.
The date of the production of The
Toymakers" is Thursday, Novem-
Der 2I and it will be for one night
only, SO that seats should be re-
served early.
The author of the book and play
is Charles FELTON, Pidgin Chief of
the Massachusetts, Bureau of Stats
tics. who wrote Quincy Adams
Sawyer" which was read and talk
ed about all over the country and
called "the best New England story
ever written and now he has
written another bright, witty book
in The Toymakers'' which is just
as amusing and full of interest as
his first book. Dry statistics must
be good daily food, for Mr.. Pidgin
simply bubbles over with merri-
ment in all his books and plays.
The music was written by Charles
D. Blake and John A. Bennett and
has twenty-six bright and catchy
numbers which are really new and
tuneful and they just fit the story.
1t is fantastic bit of comedy, show
ing the peculiar situations that arise
from the invention by John Sen
ior Stubs" Of a beautiful mechan-
ical doll which he brings to life by
the use of electricity, and it is easy
to imagine the amusing complica-
tions that arise from such combi-
nation of antique and modern in
ventions. That famous company
of merry comedians, singers and
dancers, "The Jollities, will pro-
duce this opera. and they carry
their own scenery. painted especial
ly for "The Toymakers" repre-.
senting an old English inn and the
interior of the toyshop. Their CO.'S

a more entertaining evening than
to hear 1.-The Toymakers."

Must Count All Mail Matter.
Local Post Office Employees Will Have Big
lob From Oci. t2 to 10.

An order has been received by
Post Master Brown, from the de-
partment at Washington, that every
piece of mail that passes through
the local office during the week of
October 18th to 10Th must be count
ed and reported to headquarters.
This order is far reaching, in
Gliding every class and sub class of
mail matter, and will mean an
enormous amount of extra work
for the post master and his assist
ants. The first, second and third
class matter, as we'll as all frank
and penalty stuff must be reported
separately. A report of the stamps
Cancelled must also be kept and the
amount of postage colectee from
the publishers of newspapers is to
be tailed. The same order will &c
into effect in every post Office in
the country at the same time.
At present there is an annual de.
fcit in the post office department
and this order is the result of ar
idea of one of the new officials oi
the department, who wishes to
gather data to improve the busi
ness methods. He states that the
post Office department can be pu
on paying basis in a very shor
time.

An Appeal for the Farm.
Governor Hughes, of New York, in
Leslie's Weekly.)


When you get out where a man
has little elbow room and chance
to develop, he has thoughts of his
own. His thinking is not supplied
to him every night and every morn
ing, and he is less of machine and
more of man, SO that / do not
think that the farmers need to he
looked upon, or want to be looked
upon, as dependents Of the State.
They do not come to the State gov
ernment asking aims. They are
self-reliant, they are intelligent.
What we want in connection with
agriculture is what we want in con-
nection with every other field of
noble effort. We want training, we
want intelligence, we want scienti-
fc method, we want direction, we
want the way shown, and then the
man can walk in it. There is no
reason why the same care and in
tention and skill and scientific con-
sideration should not be devoted to
agriculture as to industry and the
technical trades. The men who
are running away from the farms
too frequently make mistake, and
some day in New York-and the
day is rapidly approaching-out
young men, in larger numbers, will
wake up to the fact that they have
a pretty good chance on the farm,
and that they may be to greater
degree independent and happy in
life if they stay where their happy
lots were cast in connection with
their fathers farm or another which
they may be able to procure.
