over to Chicago, Feb. "a, and
promulgated a new national
political party. This party is to
be comprised of only sincere,
pure pluperfects. No bad men

do with it. 1t is to be run with
out leaders, and therefore with
out bosses. 1t will be ideal and
its leaders will form an angelic
choir. And this is but one Of
the stopping places in the end Of
the political course of w. r.

boiling faction in the democratic
party oil New York state, and
was quickly sat down upon and
kicked out. He got too big for
his party. Jerome, the great

We wonder how many Of our
readers have noticed the differ
ence between the man who has
been married but a short time
and one who has been married
several years. You can always
tell a young husband from an
old one. When a man has been
married a few months, you will
generally see him working in the
garden or fixing up about the
house and while he works he
whistles, or sings, or occasionally
looks up toward the window to
see if anyone is watching him.
a year later he is still working
IN the garden but the smile has
been exchanged fora frown and
he occasionally looks up toward
the house wondering why in
thunder breakfast is not ready.
Another year rolls by and his
looks would sour milk, but he is
still at work, stopping occasion
ly to kick the dog or throw a
brick at the cat. Next year we
find him sitting on the front
porch, smoking, while his wife
does the digging in the garden.
Now just watch our young men
as one by one they are caught in
Cupid's net and see if this rule
does not work out the problem

ELECTION CONTESTED.
Legality of Local Option Election in
~HigginsyilIe to Be Tested
in Court.
Hlgglnsville Jeaersonlan.

Deputy Sheriff Peacock of
this city served papers on Mayor
Mollenkamp Wednesday evening
giving official notice that the
local option election held in this
city the 18th of this month would
be contested in the circuit court.
The proceedings are brought by
Fritz Langkrahr by his attorney
r.. B. Ruff Of Marshall, the cause
being set for the April term of
court at Lexington. After the
usual premable the following
reasons for the contest are
given;
First-Because no legal notice
as provided by Article 8 of Chap
ter %, of the revised statutes of
Missouri of 1899.
Secondhand the notice pro-
vided by an ordinance duly pass
ed the Board of Aldermen on the
9th day of Jan. 1908, was not
published in the Lexington News
and the Advance as provided for
in said ordinance,
TEird-Because the notice of
said election published in the
Lexington News and the Advance
were misleading and calculated
to mislead the voters entitled to
vote at said election, and further
for the reasons that the notices
published had the effect of mis-
leading and preventing persons
entitled to vote at said election
from casting their votes at said
election.
Fourth-Because the said no
tice published in Lexington
News was not published for
four consecutive weeks Civ
ing the full notice as required
by law for the holding of a
special election to vote on the
question Of local option.
Fifth Because the said cleo
ton 50 held on the 9TH day of
February 1908 was not held
under any valid and subsisting
ordinance of the city Of Higgins
vile, Mo.
S-ixth-Because the Board of

Seventh Because ordinance

signed by persons as judges who
were not qualified to act as
judges of said election.
Ninth Because at the said

of April, 1908, and such special
election was so held constrary to
the provisions of section 3O28 re.
vised statutes Of the State of
Missouri of 1899.
Because said cleo
ton was not conducted and re
turns thereof made and result
ascertained and determined in
all respects with the laws and
ordinances Of the said city Of

T~welfth-Because the said
