From Shelbina.

Saturday as B. G. Moss was going
up North Main, he noticed a lady
and little boy on the cement walk
looking over the pretty hedge at
the beautifully ivy covered St. Jude
church.
When opposite the pair the lady
turned and asked as she nodded to-
ward the church: What is thatS''
Mr.. Moss told her it was the EpisI
cOpal church. She then remarked,

One Hero.

Celebrating the Fourth of July on
the third produced a hero by the
name of Jasper Henderson who is
fairly we'll known in this city as a
pOultryman but never before as a
hero.
MIR. and Mrs. MCGEE have several
small children who were firing
crackers about s a. IN. and an s
year old with a cotton shirt and
overalls on had his pocket full of
crackers. The bunch caught fire
and then there was several kinds of
a commOtion on. Mr.. Henderson
was passing and saw the child
would be ruined and springing to
its rescue stripped it right then and
there, and then the mother appear
ed on the scene and wrapped
the child, who was in the alto
gether, up in her apron and took it
into the house.
1t was the only accident of a day
that was a busy one for all young
people.

A Winning Card.

The day for sentiment and adj
herance to personal friendships in
the espousing of the cause of a can
didate has long since passed for the
Democratic party. A winning card
must be nominated, regardless of
whose personal friend he is or is
not, regardless of county or dis
trict, we must select a man who
can win for the party. Three State
officers are to be elected in the fall
fall of 1910, let every Democrat
make up their mind that they will
elect Democrats to fill these places
Missouri is not a Republican State,
the outcome last election was only
an accident. The hoard of diserunt-
led Democrats made it possible for
a Republican to take the seat in the
executive chair but the chances are
that by this time they see their
mistake, and are ready, even now,
to get back to the ranks of the
party, which they never did intend
to desert, but were lead by fragrant
falsehood, to believe they were do
ing best for the State. Let's get to-
gether and compare notes: The
most important of the offices to be
filled next election is that of Rail-
road and Warehouse Commissioner.
The cry has gone up over the State
that this Board has done nothing
for the people. John Knott is the
only man on the Board who had
any inclination to do anything for
the people and he has had his hands
tied by being outnumbered. The
thing for the Democrats to do is to
elect man who will work hand in
hand with what is right and they
will soon see things being done"
We need not look far for candi-
date who will represent the interests
of the people. Hon. Matt j. Conran,
of New Madrid county, who served
his people two terms in the Legisla-
ture and made a record of which
any man might be proud, would
make a candidate par excellence.
He is man in whom the people of
the State have confidence. will rep
resent their interests, and owing to
his exceeding popularity and SPLEEN
did record as a Legislator. will
make formidable candidate and
winning card for the Democrats.

Two Missionaries Dead,

Constantinople, April 19.-Confirma-
tion has been received of the killing OF
two American missionaries at Adana.
The murdered missionaries were Dam
fel Miner Rogers and Mr.. Maurer This
others connected with the missions are
safe, but do not dare to leave the mis-
sion house. They are suffering from
lack of provisions and medicines, and
have sent an appeal to the military
authorities for protection.
Mr.. Rogers was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. ID. o. Rogers, Of New Britain,
Conn. Mr.. Maurer's antecedents are
not known here.
Adana is still burning, and it is re-
ported that 5000 persons are homeless
at Tarsus.
Three French Warships are hurrying
to Mersina, where the situation is des-
perate. Foreigners and many Chris
tians have taken refuge in the CONSUL
ates. The local troops and the govar-
nor are doing their best to protect the
town, but there is great fear that it can
not hold out much longer against the
invasion OF the Moslems. who are
sweeping down in large numbers.
The American vice consul at Mer-
proceed to Adana owing to the inter-
ruption of communications. British
warship is proceeding to Alexandretta,
which is threatened by the Moslems.
Several Armenian farms in that neigh
borhood have been destroyed.
Alarm is felt at Kharput because of
serious depredations by the Kurds in
the surrounding villages, altho the
town itself has not been the scene of
any particular disorders.
The people of the capital are more
concerned with the advance of the
Saloniki troops than they are with the
massacres. Several of the members of
the parliamentary deputation which
proceeded last night to Tchatalje to re-
assure the Saloniki troops, returned
this morning. They report that the
troops demand the safe conduct and
protection of the SalonilSi deputies who
fled from the capital and the punish
ment of the ringleaders of the rising
last Tuesday as an example to prevent
the recurrence of such events.
The army, which is concentrating at
Tchatalje, has promised not to enter
Constantinople, but to await there the
fulfllment of its demands. Two re-
porters who accompanied the deputa-
ton were imprisoned on their arrival
at Tchatalje, but subsequently were
released and permitted to return to
Constantinople.
The officers of the Saloniki army
control the train service to Europe, and
the service as a consequence is much
delayed. Delay also has been caused
by. the arrival Of military trains,
bringing reinforcements to the concen-
tration camp.
