the seed is put where it can grow to
the best advantage. Glover has bet
ter chance in drilled grain. The drill
should be run north and south, so that
the sun can shine in between the rows
on the little clover plants.
Harvesting the Crop.
Preparation for harvest should be
made by having the bAder in perfect
running order beforehXd. If oats are
not cut as soon as ripe they will al
most surely go down and be lost.
Great care should be taken in shocking
to see that the bundles stand up firm
ly. If the straw is not too green the
shocks should be capped, as a capped
shock will shed rain better. A shock
that stands up straight and is well
capped will shed a great deal Of rain
without wetting In much. 1t Is much
better to stack than to thrash out Of
the shock. The oats will sweat some
where, and they will be of better quail
lty If they do 1t In the stack instead
Of in the bin. 1t has been proved many
times over that there is nothing TO be
gained by thrashing oats from the
shock. Oats that have been permitted
to 60 through the sweating process In
well protected stack are always Of
better quality than those which have
been hurried into the thrasher.

ARCHBISHOP GLENNoN COMING

The children of the Catholic con.
gregation will receive the Sacra-
ments of Holy Communion and Con-
firmation on Tuesday morning,
June LIST, at $50 o'clock.
Archbisop Glenuon will arrive
Monday afternoon from Dcsloge.
BESIDES being recognized as leader
among the fifteen million Catholics
Of this country, Archbishop Glen
uon Is, without II single exception,
the mast finished orator of the Cath
Ollie Church. His genial personal
ity, natural magnetism and highly
cultured voice are great aid to him,
but he is also deep thinker and
alive To the questions of the day.
Every person In town who is de-
sirous of hearing and personally
meeting him is most cordially invi-
ted and urged to be present at the
public reception to be rendered him
at the Catholic Rectory on Monday
evening, May n, from to $3.50
O'Clock.
The pastor had originally intended
issuing individual invitations to his
friends, both Protestant and Cath
Ollie, but fearing that some one whom
he intended asking, and who might
justly expect that courtesy, might
through inadvertencc he over
looked, he was persuaded that as the
newspaper Is the surcst medium of
reaching the people, newspaper
invitation would he better than any
other.
The Archbishop will also address
the congregation after Mass Tues
day morning before he confrrs the
the Sacrament Of Confirmation.

WANTS COUNTY JUDGES
TO REIMBURSE COUNTY.
Prosecuting Attorney Boyer Would
Hold Them Individually Liable for
Defending Mandamus Suit.

There was very interesting case
presented to the Circuit Conrt on
last Friday.
| II will he remembered that some
time last August the "wctsh insti-
tuted mandamus proceedings In the
st. Louis Court of Appeals to test
the validity of the local option elec-
tioT, Heretofore held on March eth,
1905. The petition for the writ of
mandamus was brought In the name
of the State at the relation of a.
Retornaz and against the then three
County Court Judges, to-wit; J. ID.
Mitchell as Presiding Judge, and
George W. Covington and G. NJ.
Heitman as Associate Judges, all
constituting the then County Court
of st. Francois county.
At this particular time the Circuit
Court was in session, and the grand
jury was also in session; and, for
this reason, the then Prosecuting
Attorney, K. G.. Tucker, was very
busy. After consulting the Prose
cutting Attorney, the County Court
made an oIdcr setting up these
facts, and that Of the Importance Of
this litigation, and made an order
employing B. II. Marbury as spe-
cial counsel to assist the States at
torney in the proceedings.
Mr.. Marbury made several trips
to st. Louis in attending the st
Louis Court of Appeals, caused
briefs tu be- made and printed, and
argued the case in that court. He
afterward rendered bill of Sij0 to
the County Court for his fee and
expenses, which the Court allowed
and paid.
The present Prosecuting Attorney,
B. II. Boyer, after assuming the
duties of the office, instituted civil
SUIT to recover from these judges as
individuals the Sl60 SO paid out,
taking the position that the Rotor
naz suit was directed against Judges
Mitchell, Covington aud Heitman
as individuals, and not as county
court, and therefore they had no
legal authority to employ Mr., Mar
bury as special counsel.
The attorneys for the judges con-
tend that they were the agents of
the county, that the suit was di-
rected against them as such agents,
and that as the Prosecuting Attor-
ncy was very busy and advised
them to do so. they, as such County
| Court, had the right to so employ
special counsel.
| Judge killian took the case under
| advisement, but stated that il was
both "a nice question and II close
One;n but II seemed to him that II
the County Court was acting as the
agent of the county and had author
ity to do so, that the SlG0 could not
he recovered; but II they were act
ing simply as individuals, and under
the law had to defend as such indi-
viduals, theu the money could be
recovered.
1t would seem to be a dangerous
proposition that County Court
Judge should be held liable In dam
ages for every dollar paid out, for
in that event no good man would
want to be elected to that office.
What good purpose this law suit
will serve, we are unable to deter
mine, nor do we know what prompted
Mr.. Roger in instituting 1t.
