About the only truths COR tain
ed in the Charlton Recorders
write-up of the Montgomery.
Vsndiver fight in it's last issue
were that j. E. Montgomery and
G. P. Vsndiver had q fight, and
! that Vandiver assaulted Mont.
gomery. Practically every other
statement the Recorder contain +.
ed concerning the melee, was
untrue aud founded on flSPrsnt
falsehood and msngy malice,
falsehood and malice seeming to
have served the purpose of the
editor of the Recorder better
than fact and fairness.
In the first place We did not
become offended because Mont.
gomery b id countermanded an
order for job work, but we had q
right to expect him to take that
part of the work that had al.
ready been printed, but he is not
even that much of q man.
We only became inoensed
when Montgomery called US q
vile name which no man would
permit without resenting such q
low bred insult. We resented it
and have no regrets to express
except that we were not physic
ally able to thrash Montgomery
within an inch of his life. True
he is a mighty light weight
about the head, but from the
shoulders down he is too lefty
for US to handle. His center of
gravity is in the region of the
bowel pan and posterior, and to
have knocked him down we
would have been compelled to
hit him below the center of
gravity instead of on the jowl,
and we are not given to striking
below-the belt, though we may
have to resort to that question.
able practice hereafter in our
bouts with heavy weights.
When the Recorder states that
we got the shot foot" it again
shows it's NANCY malice. The
editor of the COURIER has been
licked several times for telling
the truth, but we have never
shown the white feather in time
of battle nor taken to our heels.
The Recorder should indulge in
such lies in a community where
we are not known. They won't
wash in Charlton county, and
can only make blscker the pur.
pose of him who resorts to such
diabolical tao tics
The Recorder would also have
it's readers believe that Sheriff
A. N. Harding took exceptions
to what the COURIER han to say
about ga bankering for fees."
Mr.. Harding says him self that
this is not true, and he ought
to know better than the nincom-
poop who edits the Charlton Re-
corder.
The present editor of the Re.
corder was foreman of the

to become members he would
build a local chapter house for
them free of cost.
This plan practically makes
every member of the league a
stockholder in the Lewis Pub
fishing Co., as the further bens-
fiss ana the free support OF the
chapter house depend upon the
financial success of the company.
The plan is very liberal in it's
SCOPE and furnishes q most de-
sirable means for the women to
secure liberal benefits without
the actual outlay of any money,
and at the same time they are in
Q position to benefit the entire
community.
After looking into the plan
carefully | have failed to find
any sinister motive or any pro-
vision that is not absolutely,
morally or legally, fair.
The only expense required OF
the local members is to furnish
the lot on which the house is to
be built.
If the chapter hou 90 is built in
keytesville it will, of course, be
under the control of the local
members of the league, but un.
der the provisions of the Lewis
plan is to be used by every
missionary society, club, reli.
gious or social organization in
the town.
The women want the chapter
house. The men have public
halls and buildings in which
their affairs can be transacted,
but their is not q suitable place
in the town for the ladies to meet,
except their homes, and that
necessitates an imposition upon
the hostess.
There is not a business man In
Keytesville who would not fur.
nish a lot promptly if some one
would agree to give him q build.
ing that will correspond to the
one offered the league memb bers.
OF q necessity the women
must look to the men to help
them secure the building site.
The chapter house will add to
our to vn; it will be q public
benefit; it is progressive step.
Are the people of Keytesville
public spirited? The wo m n
have already demonstrated that
they ire, and are now waiting on
the men. Are there not enough
business and professional men in
Key tesville, who have sufficient
pride in their town, to buy a lot
and to donate it to the laGies in
this enterprise? Twenty men,
without any financial effort, can
easily do this. Who will be one
of the other nineteen?
Respectfully,
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1909-10-29
The ELECTRIC Line Again.

According to the St Louie Re.
public of Tuesday, October 26,
articles of incorporation for the
ST. Louis. Kansas City Electric
Railway Co. were filed Monday at
Jefferson City. The company
proposes building a gradeless and
curveless, high-speed, electric
trunk line from the Mississippi
river to the Missouri, with q
branch from Glasgow, through
Charlton county TO Bro~kfield.
The capital stock is $1,000. 600,
divided into 80, 900 shares of 500,
each, of which S310, 900 is paid in.
Col. w. II. Chase, who was
conspicuous in organizing the
project, does not appear in the
formal incorporation. Deweese
G. Nevins of Denver is the act-
ual head of the company.
The directors, whose nance are
mentioned in the papers, are:
d. G. Nevins and Charles A.
Loomis, Kansas City; H. v.
Johnson, w. Weston and B. L
Dorsey, Denver; ]. H. Reeder
and H. E. Insley, Kansas City;
W. A. Hamilton, Chicago; L. M.
Nevins and Selden P. Spencer,
st. Louis; George A. Anderson;
Denver; w. H. Griffiths, Hays,
Kas.; w. B. Cawthorn, Colum
bis, Mo-, and Randall B. Young,
Kansas City. Messrs.. Loomis,
Reeder, Insley, Anderson and D.
G. Nevins hold 300 shares, each.
Although the enterprise origi.
mated at st. Louis and Offices
have been maintained in the
National Bank of Commerce
building, it is probable that
headquarters will be established
ct Kansas City. Several of the
promoters say the organization
of the company was made diff.
cult at st. Louis.
The line will be 295 miles in
length, and, according to present
plans, it will have double track.
The main road, etween st Louis
and Kansas City, will be 250
miles long, and it will traverse
st. Louis, st. Charles, Lincoln,
Warren. Montgomery, Galloway,
Boone, Howard, Saline, Lsfay-
cite and Johnson counties. The
Glasgow. Brookfield brancn will
run through Howard, Chari.
ton and Linn counties.
The organizers have been
negotiating with an English
syndicate for financing the road.
Arrangements have been made
for the necessary preliminary
funds, and the organizers say the
road will be constructed.

COURIER for over three years,
and we paid him more money
for less work than any man we
ever had in our employ.
He fooled us for q long time,
and when we finally got onto Lis
methods, some unplesssntness
occurred and he has had his
spinal column elevated at us
ever since, and at last leased the
opposition paper in Keytesville.
That he was q good riddsnce to
the COURIER every employe in
this office will testify. We are
now running the COURIER for So
less on the week than when we
had A. M. Child as foreman and
are getting more satisfactory re-.
suits.
Just before the editor Of the
Recorder shook the dust of our
office from his sandals he told
US he wanted to get on the sex. I"
list and wanted to be neighborly
and get along, and that he
wouldn't do anything TO cut
pricee. As to how we'll he has
kept his word the files of the Re.
corder since lsst January will
show. He has been q cut. throat
almost from the start, but i.
looks to~us like he is getting the
worst of it.
''The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but they grind exceed.
ing fine," and it is only a
question of time as to when the
editor of the Recorder will meet
his just deserts.
He may be able to hoodwink
some of you for a few years, as
he did US, but in the end you'll
find him out as we have done
many N m0nths ago.
You are at liberty to do as you
please in the premises, but when
We consider what he told ue
about prices, etc., when he left
the COURIER office, and the sub.
sequent issues of the Recorder
in which it's subrcription price
has been cut, in some cases,
more than half in two, we are
frank to say that we would not
believe him on oath.
The editor of the Recorder,
who poses as Osn)cca5, r,-
fused 70 vote for Montgomery as
the Democratic nominee for
prosecuting attorney, but when
Montgomery calls the COURIER
man a id lying 9 of b-h,
and resorts to kicks instead of
fighting fairly, the editor of the
Recorder at once rates him as
gentleman and a scholar who
has been outraged at our hands
Now wouldn't that stir our bile
But, perhaps, the cap sheaf of
the Recorders lies about our
scrap with Montgomery in its
statement is that we were stand
ing almost behind him, and yet it
says we struck him just below
the right eye.
''Oh. what a tangled web we weave
When nrst we practice to deceive"
He who the truth would shun
Will surely f1nd his hell's begun
He may not fight. but IL he's a liar,
All know he'll reach inierno's fire.
And when Old saien claims his own,
You'll hear the liar rave and groan.
But he can not get away
And the devil then will be to pay.
Now Jet the CALLED jade whine.

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 4.-The general
market showed strength from the open
ing. with Amalgamated and Steel COM
mon the leaders. 1t is reported that
the presidents message will contain
nothing alarming to the stock market.
Boston coppers were firm and slight
ly higher, but no great activity, prob
ably owing to the short session.
In the curb list, Superior q Globe
was advanced to So cents bid, with not
very much stock offered. The balance
of the curb list was very quiet
New York, Dec. 4.-Sentiment here
has been very favorably affected by
Mr.. Morgan's purchase of the Equitable
Life Assurance stock. The general idea
seems to be that this would put him in
control of a tremendous amount of
banking capital and as he is a bull and
always has been bull on the country
IL is argued that this means much high
er prices for stocks.
Bull tips are out on Gas and the In
terboro stocks and are beginning to be
circulated on the copper stocks.
Now that a rally has occurred in the
market the gossip is that the copper
merger is on again. AS a matter of
fact, it was never off.
The bank statement is expected to be
good today.
1 look for higher prices in the imme-
diate future but still continue to think
it wise to take profits on the strong
days.. w. p.
New York, Dec. 4.-Personally,'
think that the presidents message as
outlined this morning is going to be
rather disappointing to the street be-
cause. the one thing we wanted to
know about here. was, the attitude #
the administration in sherman anti
trust law, and that is the one thing
reserved for future discussion. OF
course, the conservative tone is fav-
orable. but it seems to me that it lacks
the one vital point so far as Wall
street is concerned.
We are now going TO be i'm n posi-
ton Of waiting for a special message
regarding the Sherman antitrust law.

UNLISTED STOCKS.

j. A. Minnear, q Co!lsay today:
Copper stocks were in better demand
during today's short session. Closing
prices showed fair gains throughout
the list. Sentiment continues to be
favorable and Indications point strong
ly to an active and raising market
Monday. President Taft's message is
not regarded as likely to prove disqui-
citing. The Copper Producers statis-
tics will be made public next Wednes-
day. and are likely to be bullish. This
fact with the curtailment in the Butte
camp has materially helped the metal
situation. The New York list was
higher today. h1I"

STOCKS

Boston-There was a very good de-
mand for copper stocks today with
very few offerings Next week we
should see higher prices all through
the list. We understand that the
presidents message will not cause any
uneasiness in the business situation.

drift the lode continues in good stamp
rock. At the 65O-foot level, drifting
will also soon start. Where the cross
cut cut the lode i'm this level first
class stamp copper was i'm evidence.
At the S00-foot level, going north the
drift Is showing good average copper
ground. At the No. l in this level
where the lode faulted the nature of
the ground is changing which is an
indication that the lode may be en-
countered any day.
HANCOCK CONSOLIDATED
There is every reason to believe that
Hancock is going to make good. Re-
cent developments tend to indicate
that the Hancock may make good
sooner than expected. That is one
explanation of the recent activity in
this issue i'm the share market. Early
last week the west side of the shaft
exposed the No. lode and it Is now
cut through. The copper is very good
looking matter. Some of it is deposit
ed in the quartz but the best show
ing is where the large pieces of the
copper are found impregnated i'm the
rough rock formation. The rock is
excellent stamping MATERIAL In con-
nection with the Hancock il is well not
to misunderstood the conditions there.
The Quincy or Pewabic lode has not
been opened and cannot be for some
months yet to come as the shaft must
go down 1900 feet further to get to
the intersection point. That the Han
cock mine will open rich and high
ly profitable formation at this greater
depth goes without saying. In the
meantime the present openings are
all additional assets that were figured
as possibilities when the work on the
Hancock started. on the sixteenth
and seventeenth levels there is proven
and well opened ground on the No. 8
lode. These with the showing in the
old Hancock formation. some $50 feet
to the east, makes the Hancock future
look particularly bright now.
LAKE COPPER
The figures on the second mill run
of the Lake rock were published early
in the week and they are fully up to
the showing made in the first mill
test. They show that the Lake has
plenty of this sort of high grade rock.
The further development of the Lake
territory continues to give greater evil
dence of the continuance of values in
the lower levels. The officials of the
company are planning to get every
thing in readiness for continued regu-
lar progress in the way of productive
results early in the coming year The
speculation in Lake has been the
most remarkable advancement In any
copper property since the phenomenal
rise in North Butte a few years ago,
and there seems to be substantial evil
dence of real values back of the mar
ket showing.
CALUMET AND ARIZONA
1t is reasonable to expect that the
next dividend disbursement of the CAL

the rate of $3.50 per quarter an adj

board there was a sentiment in favor
of such a raise but II was decided to
postpone action of this nature for one
quarter. The treasury OF the company
is in good shape to pay such a divi-
dend. The costs OF copper to this COM
