WITH GOLD WATCH.


An impressive scene was witnessed
I'm the county Commissioners room
ut the court house Wednesday, when
Attorney w. 8. Broome appeared on
the scene In the midst OF the pro
ceedings. asked permission TO be
heard and stated that he had certain
charges Of a very grave nature TO
present before the board-and the
most unpleasant 90 feature Of 1t all.
was that the charge was against one
Of the most influential members Of
the board.
AZ this statement each member be-
gan TO sit up and take notice. and IL
has gOod-naturedly been said that
there were hve trembling commission.
ers seated around the table where
the affairs Of the county are trans
acted.
Attorney Broome began his re-
marks in referring 20 the chairman,
Commissioner John G. Dampler. Com.
missioner Dampier's colleagues were
afterwards free to admit that. while
they began nervous, they felt very
much relieved when they understood
their chairman was the object Of the
nrst attack, and their nerves relaxed
Sufficiently TO permit them to sit still
and hear what Attorney Broome had
90 say.
In short. the entire bunch" felt
relieved when, after a few brief and
appropriate remarks. Attorney BrOOme
presented TO Chairman Dampier a
handsome solid gold case. containing
q seventeen-jewel waltham.moyemen
watch, which came from his constitu-
ents Of District No. I aud other
friends. as a token Of appreciation for
his faithful and efficient service to
the county as a commissioner. II is
safe 20 say. too. that Uncle John"
felt considerably relieved when he
caught on to the real purpOrt Of At.
torney BroOme's mission-and when
he saw the watch his friends declare
that he relaxed" his own muscles.
The remarks OF Attorney BrOome
were responded To with great feeling
BY Chairman Dampler. who expressed
his appreciation In n most impressive
manner.
The watch. as has already been stat.
ed. Is a handsome one. Il is OF solid
gold case. one OF the best movements
In the world. and in all a gift Of value
and usefulness. The case bears the
monogram initials Of Mr.. Dampler,
while on the inside is inscribed the
following:

American Society of Municipal I'm provements Holds Business Ses-
 sion in Capital City.

Little Rock.-After very sue cessful session the American Socie- ty of Municipal Improvement, con- posed of the most distinguished mu- nicipal engineers and experts in the United States held this year in the capital city of Arkansas, an attend ed by 47 delegates from through out the country, adjourned to meet next year at Erie, Pa.
 The convention was called to order by president James Owen, of Mont clair, N. J. E. A. Kingsley, superin- tendent of public works in Little Rock, one of the vice presidents of the organzation, welcomed the del egates in a brief, but appropriate ad- dress.
 The discussions by the engineers included every problem at all likely to be of serious consequence in the management of any municipality. It is a great honor and benefit to the capital city of the state to have ehis body of competent engineers discuss papers on municipal improvement in a manner which will impart valuable knowledge to the men who have in hand local improvements.

Mystery Surrounds Killing of J. ].
 McDousaId on Night of Raid.
 Little Rock.-Tne. inquest held on the body of John J. MacDougald, at daybreak. Sunday morning, furnished no particulars as to the murder, or gave the officers no fresh clew, but afforded the opportunity for all the known facts concerning the tragedy to be made public.
 In company with Constable J. O.. Roberst, Morris Thomas, a negro who was especially deputized for the oc- casion, and Mr. MacDougald, who was a deputy constable, left Gallo way Saturday night to raid craps game on the Baueum plantation, sev- erl miles south. After arriving at the place where the game was SUD- posed to be in progress, the officers found the house to be deserted. It is thought that the inended raid was tipped off.
 On the return from the place liar ris was riding in a buggy with MacDougal, and the two men were engaged in conversation. In pass" ing a spot close to Faulkners lake, which the highway skirts for some distance, two shots were fired from inside the barbed wire fence on the bank of the lake.
 In Harris testimony before the coroner's jury he stated that the dim form of a man was seen when the shots were fired. A full charge of buckshot entered MacDougaPs body just below the shoulder blade, and ranged upward, two of them coming out of the breast close to the right shoulder. The mortally wounded man spoke but once, and then said feebly, they've got me, I am shot through and through"

get then if you've the money-and you will not have to do much more than use the telephone and sign the check. For, let it be known, that in Kansas City you can buy anything in the animal line from a green-eyed mole to prong horn antelope, and if you've lot of animals that you're tired of you can trade 'em off for new ones For in Kansas City are the offices of one of the worlds four clearing houses for animals-the Horne Geological arena
 Over one ordinary desk in the office at SIS Keith and Perry building an imals to the value of thousands of dollars pass every week-iguratively speaking, of course From that desk they're sent all over the world, trad ed, bought, sold and rented It's the desk of I. s. Horne, one of the own CTS of the arena.
 AS to the animals, they're in all parts of the world. Some of them are just commonly tame, others are tame enough to jump through hoops, lay dead, roll over and do 20 other per- fectly good and guaranteed acts while still others are still biting natives and playing hide and go seek with hunters in their native jungles-or plains, as the case may be.
 The tame ones are at various parks, circuses and animal shows and are leased, rented or hired out for their keep. You can get those any time The wild ones can be got, but, of course, that takes a little time As for the prices, they're reasonable You can take a perfectly docile and guaranteed-to- be-city -and-circus broke hippopotamus home for the reason able sum of $3,000, no more than you would pay for limousine touring car. So why buy motors while hip popotami are so cheap? Elephants rent from $100 month on up Con- mon, ordinary lions cost $45O, while the better grades are worth on up to $1,000 Bengal tigers come higher, with the market always standing pat at $1,000 to $1,200, while a chim- panzee, if he's good, costs the moder- ate sum of $450.
 The Horne Geological arena has been in existence in Kansas City for years, but, as most of it's dealings are made outside the city, not much is known of it. And the size of the off, ces are no indication of the business, for every week enough business is done to equal that of large mercan- tile establishment Nothing costs less than $15 and from there on up to $1,500 and the greatest business usu- ally is done in the high priced ani-

 By this time the visitor was making his wants known. He had an idea that he would like littlN zoo of his own, so he had gone there to find out about it.
 "A zoo?" the animal dealer ques- toned. "Of course you'll want good one"
 "Oh, yes,' the visitor answered vaguely; thought I'd ask you about it. Now, what would you"
 Advise? Why, let's see, of course you'd want lion and some leopards and tigers. Pumas are nice and then, oh. yes, you must have a jaguar."
 "Oh, yes" again came from the viAitor. The animal man was busy.
