CUT IN EXPENSES OF ARMY
TAFT Orders Ten Per Cent Reduction
of Enlisted Force.

Washington, Aug. 23.-President
Taft's order for a 10 per cent reduc-
zion in the enlisted strength of the
army is said to be part of the general
plan of the administration to econo-
nnaze.
The army cut is expected to save
Uncle Sam about 100000. The re-
Auction of the force to $4,000 is not
expected to impair its efficiency in the
least. There will be no recruiting for
the next eight months. The natural
decrease of the enlisted force between
nsw and July, 1910, will be about
10000.

strategical reasons, any advance is

Tried to Blow Up a Mine.

Joplin, NO., Oct.-Twenty so
pound boxes of dynamite burned at
the Ave Maria Mine south Of Webb
City. Believing that the fire was of
incendiary origin, ]. C. Barr, super
intendent of the mine, has offered a
reward of $500 for the capture Of the
man who started it. Barr believes
some one, who has been discharged
from his employ, fired the magazine.
The employees are irate over the
occurrence and a lynching is in pros
pect if the guilty man is found. Liv-
ing near the mine are many miners
with their families and an explosion
would have meant many deaths.
When the flames were discovered
and the alarm spread, dozens Of per-
sons scrambled to places Of safety,
far from the blazing magazine. Van
dals tempered with the hosting ma
chinery of the mine and when the
first crew of workmen were lowered
a disastrous accident was narrowly
averted.

bareheaded, when the fire started.

Hadley Making More Voters for
Republican Party?

jefferson City, Oct.-Gov. Hadley
believes in standing by the Republi-
can party and there is never an op-
portunity that he can help to make
Republican voters that he does not
readily attempt to take advantage of
it. The past week he restored the
citizenship of two persons whom the
local Republicans believe will affiliate
with the Republican party in the fu-
ture. One of these was that of Grant
Talbot, a Jefferson City negro, who
was disqualified from voting by rea-
son of the fact that he was convicted
of petit larceny in the court Of Justice
George N. Winston and fined SIS.
The local Republicans took the matter
up and by petition to the governor
secured his citizenship. The other
was that of John C. -Weatherman, of
Christian county, who was released
from the penitentiary some time ago
after serving three-fourths of a five
year sentence for grand larceny.
This is a plain case of political prefer
ment, for the Republican representa-
tive in Christian county, Hon. R. M.
Naples, in his letter to the pardon
attorney asking for the pardon to re-
store the citizenship of Weatherman
says that he will appreciate the favor
able action on the application as will
every Republican in Christian coun-
ty. This letter was filed in the office
of the secretary of state with the pa
pers in the case.

lea, a farmer, shot from ambush and
probably fatally wounded Mr.. and
Mrs. w. B. Farris, his nearest neigh

three hours Oberlea lay in ditch at
the roadside in a cold drilling rain
waiting to avenge himself for fanci-
ed wrong at the hands Of his neigh
Dor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farris had spent the
day in Eldon attending the street fair.
They were on their way to their
home, four miles west Of town, and
had just reached the crest of a hill
overlooking their farm when 0berlea,
from his place Of concealment at the
side Of the road, fired. The charge
struck Mr.. Farris in the head and he
fell forward over the dashboard of
the buggy.

While the horses, frightened at the
report Of the gun, reared, Oberlea
fired a second shot. This time his
neighbours wife was his target, and
the charge struck her in the face. AT
the second shot the team started to
run, overturning the buggy and
throwing the wounded occupants into
a ditch, almost within arms length of
the man who sought their lives.
The road was travelled by many
farmers, returning home from the
street fair, but before any Of them
reached the scene Of the shooting,
Oberle had tied a piece Of binder
Irvine to the trigger of his gun and,
looping the end of the string around
his footshot himself through the head
Mrs. Farris Had Once Shot Him.
The runaway team attracted the at
tention of persons coming from town,
who stopped the horses and went
back to look for the occupants Of the
buggy. They followed the tracks
back to where the rig had overturn-
en-, and in the ditch at the roadside
found Farris and his wife uncon-
scious, and Oberlea dead. More than
year ago Mrs. Farris shot and
wounded Oberlea for an alleged insult.
She caused his arrest, declaring he
had again insulted her, and his hear
ing was set.
When the Farrises started for
Eldon they noticed Oberlea seated in
his buggy in front of his home;
and during the day remarked to
friends that he had followed them
to town and had logged their steps
throughout tn e forenoon. When
Harris got his team, preparatory to
starting home, Oberlea also got his
horse. Instead of gowing directly
home, the Farrises went to the home
Of a friend, where they remained for
almost two hours to avoid trouble
with their neighbor on the road.
