Great improvements.

The Mineral Springs Hotel is
being re-organized, remodeled
and almost rebuilt. stipend Gus
improvements a re being made in
each and every department. The
basement is being made soliG con-
crete and handsome concrete
walks have been laid around the
building. A handsome new en-
CINE and boiler have been INSTALL
ed in the southwest corner that
will furnish steam heat, hot water
and run dynamo to furnish elec-
trio lights all night. About two
dozen bath rooms are being pre-
pared, the cuisine department
completely renovated and made
over, so to speak. The main
building and the annex both are
being gnoe over carefully by
plasterer and painter and every
thing will be spick and span new
and bright in the near fut nre,
Mr.. J H. Faircloth superin-
tending these and numerous other
improvements and seeing that
every thing is up to date and
properly done. Mrs. NJ. l.. Rob.
inson, of Bonneville Miss, will
take charge on January lst. 1910.
The universal testimony of all
who have enjoyed the hospitalit y
of this lady is that she is a peer
less manager of a public hosterly,
has all the necessary tact, ability
and disposition to make a success.
All these things cost money
some $4,000 in all--but the results
will be vastly beneficial to the
town.

Who Gets Michael Reward

There is a squabble among
those who participated in the APP
prehension and arrest of Fred
Michael, the boy murderer, who
was taken'into custody at Mexico
Christmas night, as to who gets
the $500 reward.
Michael was first apprehended
by Thomas Bruce, e clerk at
Joseph Barth's clothing store.
Bruce reported his suspicious to
City Patrolmen Kemp and Me-
| Cormick. The patrolmen did not
think much of the matter at the
time, but conferred later with
special officer William Barnett
who had jast received news of 9

A Heavy Side Line

Dairying and Poultry Keeping
are a good combination for a
heavy side line to general farm
ing. OF course the cream or but
ter only is to be sold and the
milk retained for feeding. Milk
less the water, is rich in postein,
an essential for egg production.
Chickens will drink milk in any
foTm-sweet, sour or buttermilk.
1t is an excellent ingredient for
their mashes, and chickens young
and old will thrive and grow on
it. A mixture of poultry and
dairy manure makes one of the
best of general fertilizers.
Poultry droppings carry a high
content of strong mineral plant
food and cow manure furnishes
an abundance of organic matter
for humus forming material, so
that the two make a complete
chemical fertilizer besides fur
nishing a largo proportion of
bulk in organic matter, mild and
quickly available.-Journal OF
agriculture.

DAVE BALL FOR A RECOUNT
Would Opeu Ballot Boxes to Settle
Painter-G meIich Contest.

In an Interview at Jefferson City
last Monday Col. Dave Ball is
quoted as making the following
st atements "The returns, as
originally certified by the several
county clerks and election COM
missioners in the contest for lieu
tenant governor, would be unfair
f1r the reason that every vote cast
for either of the candidates should
be counted as cast. II mistakes
were made they should be correct
ed, but to say that county clerks
could certify additional retu rms
would be to set a precedent that
would be bad; therefore, the
ly way to do it would be for the
Legislature to appoint a committee
to open the ballot boxes and count
the votes in ali counties where mis-
takes are said to have occurred.
In this way the actual vote for
each candidate could be ascer-
tanned and in this way every hon.
est man in Missouri, whether
Democrat or Republican, will say
is fair; any other way, they will
say is wrong"

very promptly dumped the money

Sheriff j. G.. Houston of RAN
dolph county and Harry Hutton,
the Wabash detective, brought the
prisoner here Saturday night in
stead of taking him back to the
scene of the crime or to st. Louis.
The sheriff said sentiment did not
justify the risk of taking the pris-
oner back to the scene of the
crime. He left him in jail here
pending a preliminary trial.
When confronted by his fath-
or in his cell he wept bitterly. His
father begged him to cheer up and

Sheriff Houston and the Prosecu-
ting attorney of Randolph county
to leave his son in the Jail here
until his trial, 80 he would be
safe from mob violence.
Before departing today Mr.,
Michael brought his son a Bible
and told him to be a good prisoner

says he attributes his boys down

slant reader OF scent novels and
a cigarette smoker.

The First Sabbath School Began in
"Sooty Alley."

"Bobby Wild Goose and his
ragged regiment" was the name
hooted after Robert Raikes, the
first modern Sunday School adj
vocate and his scholars. The
thoroughfore was "Sooty Alley"
and the scholars were the ragged
boys, who toiled in the pin fac
tories of Gloucester, England.
Robert Raikes paid Mrs. Brandon,
a poor woman, one shilling each
Sunday to teach the boys the
Bible. That was in 1880. -Four
years later there were $50, 900 boys
and girls attending Sunday
School in the Kingdom.
To-day the Sunday School
hour in City or village, the civil
lied world over, resembles Lilli-
