Monster HOr.aS.

While the editor ofthe COURIER
was in Brunswick Saturday our
attention was called by B. L.
Kendrick to a monster pair of
horns on exhibition at the First
National bank, and which were
brought to Mr.. Hendricks wife
by their son in. law, Prof. j.
Frank Bell, from the province of
Isabella, Philippine Islands, where
Prof. Bell is engaged as super.
visor of the public schools.
The horns were fromithe head
of a wild water buffalo and
measure feet Inches from
the head to the tip and 10 inches
in circumference at the base and
are coal black.
Mr.. Kendrick said that. the
buffalo from which these horns
were taken was a very danger.
ous animal and killed three men
before it was captured.
frequently these animals are
domesticated and are used for
plowing and other work, but
when they take notion to go to
the water and have a wallow,
similar to that of hog, they 90
and carry plow, or anything
else to ~hich they are hitched,
with them.
Mr.. Kendrick also told US that
Prof. Bell had refused an offer
of $3.50 for the horns while en-.
route from the Philippines to
Brunswick.
As we gazed upon the monsters
We were impressed with the idea
that if the Democratic candidates
for governor of Missouri, who
aspire to wrest the nomination
from VIM. s. Cowherd, only had
such horns to blow in their in.
teress they might stand some
chow of being nominated. But
they haven't got them and must
be content with tin horns.
The Ball boosters, however,
are going further than tin horns
and have adopted megephones
if we are to judge from the
amount o; noise they are making,
evidently not realizing that it is
votes and not noise that will
count at the primary election

at time and during such alb.
sence would contribute nothing
whatever to either her or their
child's support. Plaintiff fur.
ther charges defendant with
committing adultery with divers
persons to plaintiff unknown.
There was born of said marriage
one child, Stella, female, now
6 yea1s old, of whom Mrs. Stuck
erin addition to her prayer for
divorce, asks the court to grant
her the care and custody. She
further says that while defend.
ant is not possessed of any
property of other than thrilling
value, she informs the court that
defendant is able. bodied and is
competent railroad trainman:
able to command good wages,
while she is without means of
support and for prospecuting her
suit. She. therefore, also asks
the court to adjudge to her such
support, maintenance and ali.
mony for such time and in such
sums as the nature of the case
and circumstances may require
and for all other proper relief.
A. A. Bailey of Brookfield is
Mrs. Suckers attorney.
Belle Ellington, COL, Va. Ed.
ward Ellington, COL, divorce.
Plaintiff and defendant were
married at Salisbury November
s, 1903, and continued to live to-
gether as man and wife until
June %, 1907, when plaintiff left
defendant because of unjustified
disloyalty and brutal treatment.
Plaintiff says that during the
first three years of their married
life they lived on q farm, near
Salisbury, and got along we'll
together, defendant treating
plaintiff in reasonably kind and
husband.like manner, but, tiring
of living on a farm, defen dsnt
moved to Omaha, Neb., where
he became shiftless and failed
and refused to provide anything
for the support of plaintiff and
their child, compelling her to
support herself and child by labor
asia domestic pay the house rent,
etc. Finally plaintiff became
sick and was thrown on the
charity of friends, aud when she
recovered she returned to the
home of her mother in Charlton
county. Plaintiff declares that
during all the time they lived to.
gether the defendant only fur
nished her with one dress and one
pair of shoes and no clothing for
their child since she was 2 years
old. Mrs. Ellington further
charges her husband with squan-
dering his wages on other
women. Plaintiff says defendant
is a stout, able. bodied man,
capable of earning from So to
$3.50 a day when he is willing to
work. Plaintiff. therefore, prays
that the bonds of matrimony now
existing between herself and de.
fendant be dissolved: that she
may be given the care and GUS
tody of their infant child; that
the court will award her such
alimony, in gross, and in such
sum as under the circumstances
may seem to the court to be
right and just, and for such other
orders and DEGREES as may be
necessary and proper in the
premises. Johnson 6; Johnson
of Salisbury brought the suit
