Kaths says the negligence of the
company was responsible for the
damaged car being in such posi-
ton that the accident could occur.
The fast mail on which Kaths was
running went through Beebe with
out stopping and the speed aided
in causing the accident. Accord
ing to the petition Kaths was torn
and cut about the head, left arm
and left side, incapacitating him
from his dutles.-S. Louis Republic.
We understand that the pro-
posed change on the mail route
from this place to Sabula has been
granted and the change to take
effect the Goth of this month.
Upon granting this change the P.
o. Department has discontinued
the route from this place to Corri-
don which will make it very in
convenient for the entire western
part of the county to get mail from
the county seat. Our papers
which are mailed here Friday
morning will reach the post offices
in the western part of the county
Monday if good connections are
made; heretofore they would reach
their destination the same day
they were mailed. We understand
that an effort will be made to re-
establish the route and we think it
very necessary. The Edge Hill
route will after August Both go
from Edge Hill to Lesterville in
place of coming to Centerville.-

An effort will be made to have
President Taft make a short speech
at the Iron Mountain depot on the
morning of October 25th, as he
will pass through here enroute to
st. Louis. The Commercial Club
will take the matter up with those
in charge of the Presidents
itinerary, and it is thought he can
be induced to show himself in the
Fountain City. Hon. Thomas j..
Atkins has written to the editor
of the Republican that the matter
will be left to the Business Mems
League in st. Louis, and that it
will take considerable pressure to
get the President to make a talk at
such an early hour, but that he
will assist us. Now, let us do
some hustling. De Soto never
had the honor of welcoming a
President of the United States,
and she is itching to show just
what she can do. Let everybody
aid the Commercial Club in this
matter. There will be no politics
in it, so let's wake him up anyhow.

Elvins, was attending circuit court
here on Tuesday. He told us that
Prosecuting Attorney S. G.. Nip
per. of Washington county, had
just been appointed supervisor of
the eleventh Missouri census dis
trict, which included the Thirteenth
Congressional district and ST..
Louis county. MI. Nipper was
formerly appointed private secre-
tary to Mr.. Elvins, but his Repub-
lican friends in Washington coun-
ty urged him not to resign the Of
flee of Prosecuting Attorney, and
as he could not discharge the
duties of both offices he resigned
the private secretaryship and his
place was given to Frank K. Fen
wick, son of Joseph Fenwick, OF
Perry county, one of the most
capable young Republicans in the
district. Mr.. Elvins says he is
we'll pleased with his committee
appointments, which are Enroll
ment, Mines and Mining, Immi-
grafton and Naturalization. He
was especially DESTROYS of MEM

thirty days to the Hawaii islands
at the invitation and expense Of
! the Hawaiian government The
party will travel on a special train
from Chicago to San Francisco
Only two of the Missouri Con-
gressmen were included in the
j party. Mr.. Elvins very naturally
considered it quite an honor to be
one of the two Missouri members
invited and felt that, not withstand
ing he is'very busy, he could MOI
afford to decline the invitation
) From the time the members of the
j party leave their various homes
until they return again they will
travel and be entertained as guests

is given by the Hawaiian govern
ment as an expression of gratitude
of that country for the treatmen
accorded it by the Congress of the
United States and also as a means
of exploiting the wonderful re-
sources and attractions of tina
country -Fdrmington NeWs.
