6ophers are Busy-Farmers report
that the gophers are out, and seem
to be unusually hungry and active
after their long winters hiberna-
ton. Some of the farmers have al
ready begun to satisfy those appetites
with sugar coated strychnine pills,
realizing that every gopher killed
early in the game, means dozens less
later on. Remember, this is the
time to kill the gophers. The little
pests are hungry and will grab at the
poisoned feed.

Trade at Home.

The following from Dubois paper is
applicable to Reyno'dsville: Trading
at home is advice worth following, is
the belief OF most citizens. No person
can be blamed for buying abroad that
which he cannot obtain here, but the
habit of purchasing groceries, clothing,
furs and other common stock articles
from jobbing houses or retail concerns
away from home sends money where it
never comes back, and as usual thing
the purchaser is not greatly benefited.
Our merchants have very complete and
satisfactory stock, and they are hoping
that people here will contract the tbuy
at home" habit. There is nothing like
protection of home industries, and this
is good way to put the principle into
practice"

1t Wasn't Schmulbach.

Since Schmulbach, the Joplin MUIR
derer made his escape two weeks ago
he has been discovered in almost every
town and hamlet in the southwest, our
own fair village not excepted. Last Fri
day fellow was seen on the streets
here who ia many respects fitted the
description of the murderer. Yes Wolf
and John Ward were so sure it was
Schmulbach that each concealed a
small arsenal on his person and hit up
the fellows trail. Said trail led them
to the depot, where the supposed
Schmulbach turned out to be a Mo.
Pacific lineman who was doing some
work at the station. Required to iden.
tify himself at the stern command Of his
captors, be did 30 with embarrassing
ease, and really seemed to enjoy the
joke. The fellow said he knew Schmul.
bach personally and was aware that
they resembled each other; IN fact be
had been mistaken for Schmulbach
more than once before, about the only
noticeable physical difference in the two
men being that he outweighed Schmul-
bach some twenty or thirty pounds and
was also several years older.
So for few days the shionable joke
in Jasper was to hold up your hands
and grin whenever you met Yes or John
on the street.
