Wild Runaway.

Thursday John L. Owen was a
business visitor in Hannibal and
met Frank Brown there. Mr..
Brown wishing to sell Mr.. Owen
some cattle drove him three miles
to the country and when they were
returning their horse ran away
threw both gentlemen out and de-
molished the buggy. 1t took eleven
stitches to close the wound over Mr.
Owens right eye and Mr.. Brown
was bruised almost all over.

The Autonomy of English.


Well begin with a box, and the
plural is boxes;
But the plural of OK should be
oxen, not OXes.
Then one fowl is goose, but two are
called geese;
Yet the plural of mouse should
never be meeSe.
You may find a lone mouse, or a
whole nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses,
not hiCe.
If the plural of man is always call
ed men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan
be called pen?
The COW in the plural may be COWS
or kline,
But you never speak of two or
three kline,
And the plural of vow is VOWS, not
vine.
And if l speak of foot, and you
show me your feet;
And l give you a boot, would pair
be called beet?
If one is a tooth, and a whole set
are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth
be called beeth?
In the singular you say this, in
the plural these;
But the plural of kiss should never
be keeSe.
We speak of a brother, and also
of brethren;
But though we say mother, we never
say methren.
The masculine pronouns are he,
his, and him;
And the feminine she, but not shis
and SHIN!
So the English, l think, you all
will agree,
Is the most wonderful language you
ever did see.

Champ Clark For President.

Hon. Champ Clark has received
many complimentary notices and
much praise for the active part he
has taken in his fight against the
iniquitious Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
In a recent article the Philadelphia
Public Ledger formerly owned by
the late Geo. W. Childs, names Mr..
Clark as the logical Democratic can
didate for president and in the
comment says:
The death of Governor Johnson
has started the discussion as to who
will lead the Democratic party to
victory in 1912. Eminent as Mr..
Johnson was in political life, pure
as he was in private life, able as he
was in the governorship of a great
state, the nomination of 1912 was
not for him. One man has earned
the right to that nomination,
Champ Clark, of Missouri. The
tariff issue will not down, even if
the last iniquitious measure, known
as the Payne-Aidrich, has become
the law of the land.
1t will not down because once
honorable party broke its faith to
the people and ignored its promises
to its adherents. 1t will not down
because the bill was passed by the
means of disgraceful deals and dick
erings between Mr.. Aldrich and the
purchasable senators of both politi-
cal parties. The honorable part
Mr.. Clark took all through that long
struggle of monopolistic greed
against the American people, is
now woven into the history of the
United States. Before the end of
the next presidential campaign,
with him as the leader of his party,
it will become a household history.
AS time goes on, the political
wisdom of associating with him on
the ticket Governor Judson Harmon
of Ohio, will become more and more
apparent. and will make the ticket
invincible. Their election will be
fore-shadowed by the choice of the
people in electing the members OF
the 62nd congress.
After their election the stigma
the country is suffering from will
soon become a thing of the past,
and the present spectacle Of it's
chief executive trying to read out
of his party the men who have
been true to its promises will end,
and it is to be hoped, forever end.

DtflGIl OF A MILLION

Finances of Georgia at a
Low Ebb.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE state
ment on the states finances, as made
public in the Sunday papers, contains
figures that will prove of great inter
est to f1nanciers and others who have
made a study of Georgia's pocket
book. Conditions show deficit that
is constantly on the increase.
Expert Accountant Alonzo Richard
son, who made the investigation I'M
der the direction of Governor Brown,
expresses the opinion that the state
deficit will reach three-quarters of a
million dollars by next January.
The report of the expert, which is
quite exhaustive and covers a period
of several years, shows the gradual
but steadily riding tide of deficit For
instance, the state spent $S1 900 more
than its revenues in 1908. For 1909
Accountant Richardson estimates a
deficit of $252,0OO in excess of rev.
enues.
The report shows that by January /,
1910, the accumulated deficit of the
state will reach the total of $728,-
526,50. Taken all in all the state is
said to face a grave situation.

"INO.SttD-lN.SPikI1'
SECT All TIE FINISH
Queer Body is Now About
Extinct.

Washington, Oct. 11.-One regrets
to learn from the Cencus Bulletin No.
103. devoted to Religious Bodies"
that heavy hand has fallen upon the
Two-Seed-in-the-Spirit Predestinari-
an Baptists. Some sixteen years ago
this dauntless, well-hyphenated sect
had 47S organizations and 10000 mem
bers. They still stick to their hyphens,
but their organizations, alas. have
dwindled to 55 and they have only ISL
members in the entire United States.
Once they hoped to be quite power
in the land. That, of course, was back
in the days of Elder Daniel Parker,
who held forth in Tennessee, in the
early 'S0's.
Like everybody else, the elder had
to face the problem of sin; how did
such vile thing get into Gods world?
The elder was impatient with the the
ology of his day, and boldly invented
something simpler; some of Ewes off
spring, he assured his followers, were
the seed of God and so elected to
eternal life; others were the seed of
Satan and foreordained to torment.
This had the two great requisites
for religion for the early SOS in the
South.
1t was simple and it was warm. A
camp meeting of the TwoSeed-iin-the-
Spirit Professionalism Baptists was not
always grammatical, but it was al
ways rhetorical. 1t opened the pores.
Like the Primative Baptists, the fol-
lowers of Elder Parker objected to
modern institutions, including theo-
logical seminaries and paid clergy.
This was where they made their mis-
take. Had they but fortified their con-
victions with property, who knows
how strong they might be today?

LASTS, GIRL LOOKS ON.
Then Had Bodies of Lovers
Carried Away.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Miss Louise Dit
man, a pretty pianist, sat in the par
lor of her home on Randolph street
and calmly watched two men fight a
knife duel for her love until both
suitors fell unconscious.
Then she called the police, who took
the duelists. Tom Begupa and William
Walker, to the hospital.
Both are reported to be dying of
their wounds. The men fought nearly
half an hour. Each had more than a
score of knife wounds when the duel
ended.
Miss Dittman told the police that
both Walker and Begupa had been
wooing her and quarrelled as to who
was the favored sutton.
Louise is my sweetheart" Walker
is reported to have told his rival after
an argument in the parlor.
Whose girl are your" asked Be-
gupa, according to the police. Miss
Dittman merely smiled.
Walker, enraged, rushed at Begupa
with a drawn knife. "I'll show YOU
whose girl she is" he said.
Begupa drew a knife and replied:
Come ON, l am as game as you are"
The woman sat in corner and
watched closely while the men stab
bed each other. When they sank to
the floor unconscious she went to the
telephone and called up the police
station.
Send the ambulance to No. 942
West Randolph street; two friends of
mine fought each other with knives
over me-"
Both men were found unconscious
by the police. Miss Dittman was held
pending the outcome of their injuries.
