A Good EXCUSE.

Arnd Devinna, who went to Texas.
recently, to make the Lone Star state
his home, returned rather unexpected
ly last week, and gives as the reason
OF his return the following. His
fiddle bow needed filling, and he
thought he had better have the matter
attended to before leaving Missouri,
so took it to Mr.. Kidwell, OF the
legere--kidwell Undertaking estab-
lishment, to have the horse hair put
in good and fast. Mr.. Kidwell fast
ened n end, and being called away
hung it up until a future time to fast
en- the other end, but during his alb
scence Mr.. Devinna called, and got
the bow, supPosing it was fixed. He
didn't find out any difference until
after reaching Texas and attempting
to draw out the sweet strains, OF
which he is master, found that one end
was loose. OF course there could be
no music until the bow was repaired,
and no place to get it repaired but at
Versailles, Mo-, and no one to do
the job but Alb Kidwell, so back he
came all the way from Texas to have
that fiddle bow put in shape. Mr..
Kidwell fixed it up all right, and it is
now in proper condition to give those
Texans the "Devil's Dream" Rye
Straw" etc, to the queens taste.
But what kind OF an excuse will he
cook up when he wants to come no me
again? SAY there's the rub" but
he will come back, inst the same.
The Ladies of the Presbyterian
Church are going to dedicate the new
Odd Fellow Dining Hall next We'd
nesday evening, Nov. 18th, by giving
one OF the most entertaining dress
parade parties that this city has ever
seen. They have concluded to 20
back from 100 to $50 years for their
styles, bringing up the old colonial"
days, and feeding their guests in CO.
lonial style, and to some extent SER
wing old colonial drinks, (not all CO.
lonial drinks), bnt enough to make
you think of the ''old colonial days.
The intention is to have more George
Washingtons, Dolly Madisons, etc.
than has eve been seen in Versailles
before, outside Of picture books. In
addition to this, the Gypsy Girls will
be there with their old time music,
in fact the ladies are going to make
this one OF the most pleasant and
unique entertainments Versailles has
ever had. Everyone, that can, is re-
quested to come dressed in old time
style, come early, stay late, and ca,
often.

The Local Option Law Construed BY
A Prosecuting Attorney.

To the Editor of Sentinel Lebanon.
Dear sir:-Inasmuch as some have
asked ME for a construction of our local
option law, which takes effect the 18th
inst. in this county, and in order that no
advantage may be taken Of any one,
submit the following through the col.
inns Of the Sentinel.
By and under section 1882 of our
statutes it is unlawful for any person or
persons within the limits of this county
to directly or indirectly sell, give away
or barter, in any manner whsteyer, any
kind Of Intoxicating liquor OF a beverage
containing alcohol in any quantity what.
ever. This, however, has an exception
by and under section 3O34, which pro-
vides that it does not apply to the sale Of
wines for sacremental pui poses or to pure
alcohol for medical. art or scientific pur-
poses, sold by a druggist. But section
30;7 Of said statute qualities the above

only where the prescription is dated and

remedy. Our appellate courts have de-
cided that this section should be strict

Appeal, page 496, the Court, says: "This
law was intended to prevent the conver

paying dramshops, and that the druggist
should sell for remedies IN DISEASES
ONLY; and the court further declares
that this law must be strictly complied
with in each and every sale In order to
prevent the abuse Of the traffic" And,
in this construction, Section $3.50 says
that ANY physician who shall make or
issue any prescription to any person for
such Intoxicating liquors in any quantity
or for any compound Of which intoxicat.
ing liquors form a part other than for
medical purposes, or who shall issue
more than IL prescription at the same
time shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
And Sections |, 2 and 3 of our late
session acts, page 232, make it a fine Of
not less than $500 MOI more than 81 .OOC
or not less than three months or NOR,
than one year in the county Jail. or both
the fine and imprisonment, for any per
son or persons to sell, receive for storage,
keep for or deliver as agent or otherwise
any Intoxicating liquors to or for an,
other person.

Rich Ore lo ssuoosl Consolidated,

j Monday evening NIT George D. Gross, superintendent for the Na. tional Consolidated Mining Com. pany, was in from the camp, and the gentleman was highly elated at the showing made by his work during two or three weeks past. The incline shaft k now down about sixty feet, and he is getting out from the bottom and from the drift a great deal of rich ore run ming high in gold and copper. It is rock which will pay handsomely as a shipping proposition. Several tons of the same kind of ore sent to El Paso three months ago or more netted $53 per ton.
 Upon the same claim the work ing shaft has cut into the vein at a depth of seventy feet, and in that working Mir. Gross anticipates finding the same pay streak that turns out so handsomely in the incline.
 The National Consolidated has many good claims, and their devel- opment will make the enterprise one of the most notable and profit able anywhere in the Southwest.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, June 2S, 1907.- Cattle receipts this week aggregate 35,OO0 head, against 50,O0O head last week. The big shrinkage was in Southern grass steers, receipts of which fell off one half, and there were also fewer fed cattle from Native territory than last week. The buying side of the market got pretty well filled up last week, and prices this week have been barely steady, in spite of the reduced sup ply. Fed steers have lost 10 to 25 cents, greatest loss on those show ing grass, but other kinds of cattle have remained steady or made a small advance, as in the case of stockers and feeders. Southern grass steers settled down to lower level last week, and held steady this week. One lot of fancy natives sold at 100 this week, highest price this year, bulk of fed steers $5.75 to $6.60, medium and grassy steers $4.75 to $5.75, grass steers in Southern division $3 65 to $4 90
 Cows and heifers have been in small supply pending settlement
