July in 1903 and lived together just one
year to a day If she has made no mis-
take in her petition for divorce which

one year from the day that they were
married that her husband deserted her
and that she has seen nothing of him
from that day to this. She doesn't
want much more than her freedom,

ANNUAL CORN
Show Take An Interest In II Pes Je
Will BeHefit You.

Realizing that as fne corn as
can be grown ON earth, is growE
in the Vicinity of .Aosros City,
Mo, the Monroe City DEMO
Graf some ten years ago estab-
lished little corn STOW tor the
benefit Of agricultural sub
scribers.
The farmers have slowly taK-
en- an increasing interest in it
until last year for the small
premium of 1 years subscription
of DEMOCRAT to the first white
and the same to fret yellow
corn, the entries had grown to
quite respectable number.
This year James B. Gray, Joe
Wilson, Allie Wilson, Byron
Mcfarland and several other
farmers have taken an interest
in it and promised to back the
little Annual Show with their
aid and influence.
To thatuend, Tuesday, Mr.
Gray and a representative of
the DEMOCRAT invited some of
the business men to cooperate
with them in a small financial
way and this is the result:
There will be four cash prizes
given. IS for the best 10 ears of
white corn and 81 50 foI next
hest and one years subscription
of the Monroe City DEMOCRAT
for third And the same three
prizes for same grade OF yellow
corn.
Quality, form and size of
corn will be taken into consid.
Grafton when corn is judged.
Now Mr.. Farmer, we ask
you to awaken and assist US IN
freely advertising you and
Grand Old Missouri It is for
you not for US, tor we are all
out and nothing in.
In the past the corn has been
given to those wanting il, @h0
would agree to use it for seed.
This year the farmers who have
taken an interest in the show
say: No don't give it away, re.
serve it and we will buy it for
seed Chat is why 10 ears is ask
ed for instead of 5 as in the
past) and whatever 1t brings
can be placed iu bank for prize
money rext year
So, now that you are ia your
corn do not be afraid that John
Smith or Will Brown will have
better corn than you, but pluck
up nerve and energy and select
10 ears. that are alike in form,
quality aud as near length as
possible and bring them in any
time between October Is, 1907
and October 26, 1907 if possible.

Court House.

The failure of the Court
House proposition has revived
among the wealthy and influeu-
tial men of the east end Of the
county, the idea of building a
court house in MONROE CITY
instead of Paris.
They think that at the best,
IT a court house is to be built in
Paris then let Paris that boasts
of paying 10 per cent OF the
taxes of the county and has
for more than fifty years re.
ceived the benefit of 80 per cent
of the taxes in the form OF
court house. jail and all busl-
ness accrueing there from. build
and pay for court house and
let the people in central and
western part OF county, who
have practically no interest in
a court house, out of the deal
and not tax them for thing in
which pride cuts a greater fig
ure than benefit or utility.
Or In other words remove the
county seat to the Metropolis
and then the county will not be
out anything.
BY the way, while Paris is
boasting OF it's paying taxes on
bonds for public purposes, let it
be distinctly understood that
no one but Paris derives a sim
gle dollars worth OF benefit
from any thing she is bonded
for.
Or to put it another way
When Monroe City taxed itsell
for a $25, 900 school building. it
was Monroe City's affair and al
no ones expense. 1t was tive
same way. when she bought as
good an electric plant as there
is in the state.
And if Paris will not build a
court house, if Paris will lay
down, then the east end of the
County and Monroe City will
build good one.
The proposition does not
come from the DEMOCRAT, tut
from heavy tax payers.
And there are no petty poll
tics in it," Simply a straight
up and down and fat footed
business proposition.
Onerfrom business men who
mean business. One from men
who for half a century have
paid taxes to help run the coun-
ty and who now think that as
the Lord helps those who help
themselves, it is now time for
Paris to do something or else
let others do, who are both
willing and able.
Another court house PROPOSE.
tion will bob up shortly and as
the Intirmary is assured, the
Court House will fall further
short of votes than it did the
6rst time.

hard to humble himself. He would rather deed, the former would have been easy to him. By sheer force of will he had been doing as much all his life.
 But Vic Morris was a very strong man, so much so that he could even give in on occasion when he found himself in the wrong. As the pitmen said, .'He could own up. but it gave him crick in the neck to do it!''
 And, indeed, his throat was dry and his tongue well nigh cleaving to the roof of his mouth. when at last he made up his mind to apologize-and that to the idle lout'' whom he had scorned so lately.
 MT. Calmont,'' he said, turning square ly in front of the young man. and there by stopping him as effectually as if by his art of engineer he had blocked the road from side to side 'I am here to ask your pardon. Down there I spoke like fool, as no man has the right to speak to an- other-no, not to his brother"
 And IT answered as a fool. beg your pardon"
 Really, we ought both to go back and beg Miss Vida's" said MT. Morris with some irresolution, taking half step in that direction.
 "No," said Phil stopping him in his turn with an outstretched hand, 'she does not want us."
 He had no desire to face Vida again that night. Vic Morris sighed
 '.I daresay you are right" he said. but I say, didn't she dress me down! And didn't I deserve it!''
 Phil kept silence.
 "Oh you may speak out." said Vic with a laugh, which sounded little hollow. T know I did. hope have enough sense for that"
 Phil knew that such knowledge was good for the soul, and still said no word. There was lengthy silence. They passed the end of several farm-loanings and came out on the unfenced moorland. which ran in dark patches of heather and dead bracken plotted on lighter ground of grayish bent-grass up to the black-splintered shale edges of Caiden Fell.
 q wronged you-chut!-that is not what I wanted to say; don't let's get down to book talk" said Vic, swinging his arms contemptuously. "You are one man, am another am your senior, and l talked like fool. like young, jealous ass. Don't think I want to intrude myseii. But, if you will tell me what you would care to do in the way of work. l VIII care to do in the way of work, VIII give No, better than that-my brother is a beast I would have nothing to do with him if he came begging to my office on his bended knees. Pshaw!-more pook talk, Well, what do you mean to go Tor! And. somehow, there was ring or such sincerity in the voice of the young en- gineer that Phil was moved py It. His ear. keen-set for arrogance or assump- tion could find neither now in the speech

public deposits of $71,715,7O0. against which a reserve Is not legally necessary, al though the clearing house banks carry one, the banks are short $35,060, 600 of hay ing a 20 per cent reserve against ordinary deposits. In other words, the reserve, ex- cluding government deposits is now 2l.o per cent, deficit of only 31a per cent be- low the legal p per cent, which, under the circumstances, must be pronounced sat- isfactory, particularly if it be remembered that within the past few weeks the banks of this city have shipped over $50, ,OOO,CO0 of cash to the interior. The feature or the statement which excited some unfa- vorable comment was the increase of S10000,000 in loans, but it is quite likely that this expansion was due to bond and treasury notes subscriptions by the banks, the latter sometimes carrying such items as loans to. the government The gain in cash of approximately $2,000,000 was less than anticipated, and the averages do not fully reflect the weeks recuperation i'll this particularly. 1t Is worthy to note that the government deposits in the New York banks rose $3.75o,o00. which very nearly coincides with the increase of s, 464, ,500 in all classes of deposits To put the matter in another way, the increase in deposits last week was due almost en- tirely to government transactions, ordi- nary deposits standing stationary. The banks are increasing their circulation reg ularly, the expansion for the week just ended having amounted to $2,S62. 400 Since October 19 the increase in circulation by the banks of this city has been sl0,50O000. The statement was computed on five days business on account of the inter vening holiday. One feature which the statement seems to reveal Is that the
 tlNzs., l from now on there will be more or less rapid increase.

THE MARVEL THEATRE
 BY PERCY CLARK.

When the Marvel was planned and equipped. the purpose was announced of entertaining the public with good, clean attractions, refined, instructive features. This standard has been con sistently maintained. Ladies and child ren who attend this miniature theatre are quite as much at ease as in any place they are accustomed to visit. No objectionable characters frequent the Marvel; the air of refinement by close scrutiny maintained by the manage ment, is not inviting to the public loafer and masher, quite too conspicu- ous in many public places.
 The Marvel is perfect miniature the- atre in all of it's appointments. and this has something to do with its popu- larity. It's seats are of the regulation leather mounted class used in larger houses. The stage is arranged for vaudeville sketches and playlets, some of the distinctive features of this place of amusement. The decorations of the house are artistic and pleasing
 The Marvel during the many months of it's existence, has always had a lib- eral patronage from that public who appreciate refined entertainment-the e best of it's class at popular prices. Here have been exhibited the very finest pictures made. some of them cost ing many thousands of dollars to work out in the original. Musical features of the very best quality have always been on the programme, and some ar lists have appeared on the Marvel stage who have been featured at the theatres of the larger cities.
 Always looking for the best, the Marvel has secured the very latest in the talking picture" and the throngs who hourly visit the house attest the success attending the enterprise of the manaEement in securing the exclusive right to this novelty.
 Picture shows may come and some may go but the Marvel still draws the crowds, and will continue to do so as long as the present management directs it. because it's the place to go.
