VALLEY STORES OPENING.
Beautiful Attractions in the Line of
 Spring Goods Displayed.

The opening of the Edward Malley company's stores yesterday gave op- pcrtunity for those who visited the de- partments of the stores to see some of the most beautiful preseason offerings they have ever shown.
 In the millinery department the mod els are simply fascinating, even the French hats being possible in spite of the fact that they are large. Leghorn, leather color hemp, Milan, and fancy braids are shown, the latter being used for the turbans and for trimming on the larger hats The crowns are high for the greater part. the exception to this rule being the new sailor effects which promise to be very popular as they are almost universally becoming.
 As to the colors the cerise is the new est of course, and this is closely press ed by Copenhagen blue. brown in leather color, and yellow. Flowers are the most popular of the seasons trim mings, although the plumes, aigrettes and wings still hold their own. Among the beautiful French models which at tracted attention yesterday was hat of navy and Copenhagen blue braid, sailor effect turned up all around, trimmed with black and navy ostrich plume. handsome straw braid which formed the crown and two tall grace full aigrettcs, which was by Caroline Reboux.
 A beauty by Esther Meyer was a l ,t.it feathers of very large size. the crown being of maline and at the left side rosette of Val. lace backed by a large one of satin. Another very attrac- tive hat was of burnt orange satin straw, turned up one side, a large black plume falls on to the brim at i the right side from a rosette of ma line and spangled butterflies which l fastens it to the hat.
 l The window display gives small l idea of the exquisite creations to be seen in the regular millinery parlors. l the palms and handsome basket of 1 flowers shown, being samples small, of the array inside. The department de- voted to suits and gowns is also hav- ing an opening. a preliminary one, and a display of waists and gowns is made that is bewildering absolutely. There are the lace, embroidery and lawn prin- cess gowns, the jumper frocks of silks and wash materials, and the ever pop ular tailor-made suits: these are shown in such variety of styles that any taste can be satisfied The skirts arc plaited. gored and circular, and of va rious length to suit the wearer's taste Very handsome models of separate coats are shown also. Larger sleeves than last year are very noticeable
 and the Japanese effects are partlcu-
 larly popular
 Very charming waists are of lace
 and lawn. lace and silk. filet net chif'
 fon with filet, and some of soft silks alone. All are distinctive and pretty.

Mr.. Damron and his crowd took
this in gnod humor, laughing at
all his abuse. Sta mill, after abus-

voters Of Iron county, calling
them thieves and hoodlums for an
hour and a half, desisted, and

after saying that Mr.. Damron was
scared and having fits, we know
who was afraid and would not
stay to back up what he sa id.
The voters of Graniteville are not

to speak. He responded in a nice,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Oct. IS.
E. L. FARMHOUSE, Ironton, Mo-:
Dear Sir-In reply to your letter
of the 18th of October, concerning
the price at which textbooks may
be sold, l give you the opinion of
Attorney General on this point:
"Section ia provides that pub
fishers shall furnish books at the
prices listed with the State Super
intendent under the contract with
the State. When the price to the
State contains a provision that the
books will be furnished at a named
sum per book "f. o.. b." at the
place of publication or sale, the
price to the dealer would be the
amount required to be paid to the
publisher, plus the cost of car
rage from the place of sale to the
town or city wherein the dealer
was located, and to that sum, the
dealer would be authorized to add
Is per cent. as his selling price,"
Yours, truly,
HOWARD A. GASS.

fare inaugurated by the enemy,

fare inaugurated by the enemy,
the occasion was at hand: the per-
sonnet of the Republican county
ticket is by no means without
blemish. But | am no seeker al
ter the faults and weaknesses of
my neighbor, and and it will have
been noted by all who read this
paper, that it has contained no
''unparliamentary language" ex-
cept in rejoinder to falsehood, viii
LITIGATION and abuse. Perhaps,
according to polite ethics, it would
have been right to refrain even
then, And then, again, perhaps
not. "a soft answer" we are told,
''turneth away wrath" and silence
often gains the victory; but Meth
er one nor the other, nor both
combined, if that could be, can
avert or minimize studied detrac-
ton sent forth to accomplish po-
litical ends or vent the malice that
o'ersurges the heart.

WHEN a Democratic county
court took charge of the affairs OF
the county in 1871, this item was
listed under the head of "Expen-
ditures': "For interest on county
warrants presented and unpaid
because the treasury vas empty

for payment since that year. Do
the taxpayers want to return to

3. IN less than two weeks it will be
all over but the shouting-and the
weeping. The Democratic skies
are bright with promise of victory,
and that VIM. Jennings Bryan
will be the next President seems
assured. AS for Missouri, Hadley

Iron county will send the "Ring-
Busters to grass. Here the
"Gang" has made and are maxi
ing a campaign without parallel in
its lacking of decency and disre-
gard of truth, All our Democratic
Officials, past, present and pros
pective, are charged with being
"corrupt'' and incompetent.
The. fact that most of these
charges are prompted by certain
members of the Gang whose code
of morals is not circumscribed by
justice or even political fairness,
makes them the more calling.

because Of his official duplicity,

IN a recent speech at Jackson,
Mr.. Cowherd made the charge that
the Anheuser- Busch Brewing AS
ISOLATION made a contribution of
S12,5 SOC to the Missouri Republican
campaign fund in 1904, Mr.. Cow
herd also said that this matter had
been investigated by a committee
of the Missouri senate and proven
to be true. He asserted that this
contribution violated the laws of
Missouri; that this violation had
been brought to the attention of
Mr.. Hadley, the encouragement,
but that the latter had refused to
prosecute the Busch
Brewing Association.
His testimony, printed in the Re-
public, October 1st, shows that Mr..
Cowherd's charge is true and that
Mr.. Hadley's denial is untrue.
The record, therefore, shows that
MI. Hadley was the beneficiary,
in 1904, of the contribution thus
made by the Anheuser-Busc
Brewing Association to the Repub,
lican state campaign fund.
In the present c%ompaign, Mr..
Hadley's St. Louis campaign
manager is Mr.. Otto Stifel, the
head of another big brewery as
ISOLATION, and the voters of Mis-
souri, are we II informed as to thai
fact.
A few days later, in a speech
at Poplar Bluff, Mr.. Hadley at
tempted to reply to Mr.. Cowherd''
charge and asserted that the S12
500 contribution Aad been made
by Mr.. Adolphus Busch and notify
the brewery corporation. Unfor'
tunately for Mr.. Hadley, the sworr
testimony of Mr.. Busch, given be-
fore the senate Investigating com
mittee in 1905, is a matter of record

II you are an advocate of Impe-

what he said at Philadelphia a few
years ago:

He was defending the Admins
tration's damnable subjugation OF

here is what Abe Lincoln said
some fifty years ago:

months before the selection was
made and action was finally taken.
The Dalton machine was not ta-
ken and Judge Schmidt voted
"No!" for the first time distinctly

and the same time set himself

Concerning Text Books.

The following correspondence is
self-explanatory. The only thing
that need be said in this connection
is, that Judge Farmhouse in his
charge for school books has never
exceeded the limit set by the law,
although no penalty would attach
to his action if he did. He p%roffers
to show his invoices for the books
to anyone who desires to see them.
His offending is not in over-charg-
ing for school books, but in being
an outspoken, enthusiastic Demo-
crat. That, in the eyes of the
"Gang," is enough to damn any
man. Here are letters:

HON. HOWARD A. GAss,
State Sup't OF Public Schools,
Jefferson City, Mo.
Dear Sir-Will you please give
me your opinion as to the school
law regarding the sale of school
books? Sec. Tia, Session Acts,
1907, reads, in part: "No dealer
shall sell said books at more than
fifteen per cent. advance on said
contract price" Now, when a deal.
er cannot buy school books laid
down here without said books cost.
ing him more or in excess of IF.
teen per cent. of the net contrac
price, can the dealer legally charge
fifteen per cent. profit based on the
cost to said dealer, without violat'
ing the law?
Respectfully, Yours,
E. L. FARMHOUSE.
