Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1908-07-16
Hints by the Horse Editor.


The Cleveland funeral was a SEN
sible affair. 1t was utterly devoid
of that display that characterizes
the average event of the kind.
There was no funeral sermon, no
public exhibition of the annotated
remains, no elaborate program of
heart-rending music, no display of
the family grief before a gaping,
morbid crowd. Some of these days
an era of common sense will bring
funeral reform of this kind and
when it comes it will be a mighty
relief to those who are really be-
reaved a substantial saving to
poor folks who impoverish them
selves in buying cut flowers, costly
caskets and providing other items
incident to what we foolishly term
decent burial" When women
quit wearing mourning and the pro-
cession avoids Main street on its
way to the cemetery substantial
steps will have been taken toward
reform. Paris Appeal.
The Stars Advice to Democrats.
For several days past the Kan
sas City Star has been showing a
great deal of apparent sOlicitude
concerning the candidacy of David
A. Ball, of Pike county, for the
Dem ocratic gubernatorial nominal
ton. 1t has had very many nice
things to say of Mr., Ball, both in
its news and editorial columns. To
the casual observer, unacquainted
with the ways and wiles of William
R. Nelson, it would appear that the
Star is an enthusiastic Ball organ
and that nothing would so please
the editor and owner" as the nom
ination and election of the perenni-
al candidates from Bowling Green.
The last statement is half true
and no more than half true. 1t
would be pleasing to the Star if the
Democrats of Missouri should NOM
mate Mr.. Ball for governor. 1t
fact, we know of nothing that could
happen in the near future in Mis-
souri, politics that would tickle the
Star so much as the nomination of
Mr.. Ball.
Nor would the pleasure be all
| Mr.. Nelson's. One Herbert S. Had
ley, attorney general of Missouri
and a Republican aspirant for the
governorship, would also hold a lit
tie private Notification in the event
that the Star should be successful
in its attempt to name the head of
the Democratic ticket in Missouri
There are also quite a number O
Republican politicians, hangers OF
and place hunters who would glad
ly volunteer to join in the hilarity

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, June 2O.-With a dull
heavy boom, like the breaking of a
log jam, the monster ice house of the
Marsh Ice Company, situated in the
north part of the city on the banks Of
Lime creek, burst open yesterday aft
ernoon at l o'clock. In the great
storage house nearly 1000 tons of ice
were packed. The entire south wall
giving way, precipitated over $50 tons
to the ground, exposing the crystalline
water to the sun and wind, with their
powers Of causing rapid return to
the liquid states. When the south
wall gave way, the great planks which
form the side of the building, were
broken squarely in the middle, and
the sawdust was thrown into the air
to height of nearly 100 feet. The
appearance and sound were much as
tho the building had been dynamited,
but such was not the case, the ire
sistiple force of the expansion of the
great mass of sawdust and ice from a
protracted spell of unseasonably rainy
and damp weather. being the sole
cause.
The huge blocks of ice We're hurled
by the force of their sudden release,
a distance in some cases of fifty feet
from the wrecked wall Of the building.
Men were Immediately set at work to
rebuild the wall and return the ice to
the interior. All afternoon forty men
worked, and all last night over score
continued the labor. Even with such
measures, the loss will be very heavy
and no part of it is covered by in
surance. Unfortunately, the collapse
of the building occurred on one of
the hottest days of the season thus
far.
