One Ink Bottle.

Live and learn. We have seen
many methods and schemes re-
sorted to, to clean an ink bottle by
a mere man but George Chipman,
the popular ticket agent at the Joe
depot, has 'em all skinned a block.
We were at the depot Sunday
morning and saw him take his dirty
ink stand, look at it and then 90
and get his hatchet and then,
pshaw, he didn't smash the ink
stand, no stree, not a bit of it. He
just scraped the old dry copying
fluid off of it and out of it and
then reflled it as though it was an
old story.

Gay Paree.

James B. McClintic of just west
of this city, has lived within rs
miles of Gay Paree, the capitol of
Monroe county, for forty-one years
and until Monday had never been
in it.
Now don't for an instant think
that Jim has been buried in the
sticks all that time for such is
not the case. He came out here
from the Old Dominion in 1868,
has made many trips to Chicago
and St. Louis but until Monday,
overlooked one of the Worlds won
ders, Gay Paree, the capital of
Monroe County, Mo-, the home of
well bred horses and the school
of politicians. When he got there
he walked the streets like son
to the capitol born.

HORRIBLE
Was the Wreck in the Terrible
Binding Snow Storm.

There are a coed many versions
of the rear end collision of two
Wabash freights one half mile east
of Hassard at a o'clock Friday
afternoon, and we select this one
as the most accurate one.
There was a section crew at
Huntington and when the terrific
snow driven by a sixty mile gale
came On, two Greeks, rad Alice
and John Muster was sent from
Huntington 10 clean the frogs of
the HaSsard switch.
The two men had completed their
work and when one half mile east
and on their return trip a Wabash
freight came laundering along
with the storm and the two half
frozen men tagged it down.
AS the TWO men climbed on the
caboose the conductor left the front
end of i. thinking his train had
broken into or had run into snow
drift and stalled. His brakeman,
Jesse Burton, of Moberly, had
lighted his lantern and gotten as
far as the door where the Greeks
were when a special composed of
an engine and caboose with a
shrek and sliding grind struck the
CabOOse and three men with such
force (the engineer had seen the
train too late through the binding
storm and had reversed his engine
and slid for three rail lengths) that
the cabOose was thrown up in the
air and crushed like an eet shell.
The brakeman was crushed from
the hips down and instantly killed.
Alice was crushed and cut in places
all over and one foot cut off; but in
spite of his terrible injuries lived
for an hour and raved in his horri-
bic suffererings in the Greek tongue,
but there was no one to understand
him because Muster was dead.
Muster was simply crushed and
cut into a pulp. The skull crushed
flat and ne never knew what had
hurt him. He was caught in the
wreck which took fire and his right
leg and hip were badly burned.
'Thirty-five dollars in gold was
found sewed up in Dads drawers.
The body of the brakeman was
taken directly to his home and the
bodies of the Greeks brought to
this city and prepared as well as
could be for burial here, but rela-
tives in st. Louis ordered the re-
mains sent to them and the order
was complied with at 3 a. m. Sun
day.
In front of the cabooSe was an
oil car. The tank was on a wooden
frame and was hurled into the
ditch and the car with the caboo:e
burned.

Prohibition Would Wreck Much
Damage

L "Oulu VIVA uSH
Damage
Jefferson City, Jan. 80 Senator
George W. Humphrey, of Shelby
County, President pro TEN. Of The
Senate, has in preparation a statu-
tory prohibition bill, the passage of
which, he believes, will serve a
better purpose at this tire than
the adoption Of a constitutional
amendment containing like provis-
ions.
Shall we have prohibition in
Missouri? is an economic question,
and one that cannot be mixed with
politics" said Genator Humphrey
to-day, and | am Of the opinion
that the duty Of the legislators is
to test the efficacy of such a re-
strictive measure before wipiug the
liquor traffic from the State alto
gether."
Senator Humphreys idea is that
the driving of the brewers and the
distillers from the State with one
fell swoop would reap incalculable
harm. He contends that the man
ufactureS of malt and SpirituOus
liquors should be treated fairly.
We cannot be criminal, slap the
brewers in the face and tell them
they must quit business, without
first learning the true sentiment OF
the people in regard to this Ques-
ton" he said.
The Difference.
"A statutory prohibition law
would in effect, be the same as a
constitutional amendment, the great
difference being that the former
could be repealed by the LegiSla-
ture if it was found to be a failure,
while the latter, right or wrong,
would remain a part of the Consti-
tuition. The statutory as well as
the constitutional provision should
be ratified by the people"
The repeal of a statutory provis-
ion, it is argued, properly would
follow a certainty of the laws fail
ure without the expense of a spec
ial election.
Georgia, it is pointed out, passed
such law eight years ago, repeal
ed when its effects were found to
be harmful rather than beneficial,
and later, when the time was ripe
for such legislation, reincorporated
the measure in the State laws.
Senator humphrey OelleVeS, as
do other members of the Legisla-
ture, that the people should be Civ
en- an opportunity to vote upon
State prohibition at an election at
which no other matter should be
considered, and his bill will so pro-
vide. He also believes that, in the
event of the law being approved by
popular vote this year. it should
not become effective until January
1, 1911.
The men who have invested for
tunes in the liquor business, Sena-
tor Humphrey says, should not be
disregarded in any legislation that
may be demanded, and they should
be given ample time to meet the
exigencieS confronting them.

PRESBYTERIAN

The protracted meeting will con-
tinue through the week. So far
there have been three additions to
the church. The congregations are
good and the interest seems to be
increasing. Rev. j. f. Kerr will
preach each day at 2 p. m. and
evening at 7 O'Clock. We extend a
cordial invitation to the public to
come and worship with us.
HOLY ROSARY
Another change has come in the
Holy Rosary parish, one that causes
deep regret in the parish and out of
it, for Rev. Fr. j. A. Cunningham
has made a place for himself in the
hearts of the outsiders as we'll as
those of within.
He has been transferred to the
st. Rose church, st. Louis, where
he will assume his duties the last
of this week.
Fr. Cunningham was not only a
dutiful priest, a kind sympathetic
friend, but a musician of conSidera-
BILE ability. He was rapidly per-
fecting large number of his young
people in playing the violin, and
was the teacher and leader of the
Knights of Columbus band.
The conscious and unconscious
good will of the people will follow
him.
Rev. Edward Connally, recently
ordained at the Kendrick Seminary,
St. Louis, has been sent here to take
the place of assistant to Rev. Fr.
Thomas Mullen, He, like Fr. Cum
ningham, will have to make place
for himself,

HORSE RACE
FOR Big STAKES

A difference of opinion makes
horse racing and since the match
ed trotting race between Dick
Bright's horse and the kirkwood
bay that was held here during the
celebration, each Of the owners are
certain that their horse is the
fastest. To settle the question the
two horses have been matched for
a race to take place in Gardner
vile next Sunday afternoon and
a wager of $4,000 a side is in the
hands of stakeholder
The Bright horse won the race
held last Saturday by scratch.
MANY who witnessed the race are
of the opinion that the Kirkwood
can win and are willing to back
their judgment with the coin of the
realm. Rel o mas it that several
Carson sports will be on hand with
an auto load of money with which
to back the Bright horse.
Next Sunday will be real ex-
citing day.

WAS A SUCCESS
In EVERY WAY

The Fourth of July celebration
held in Gardnerville last Satur-
day was largely attended by resi-
dents Of this Valley and surround
ing territory. The main thor ough-
fare of the town was one mass of
streamers of bunting flung to the
breeze from the tops of the build
ings and gave very patriotic ap-
pearance to our hustling little
burg. From the salute fired at
sunrise until the early hours
of the following morning
there was plenty doing for
those who possessed the inclina-
ton to throw dull cares aside and
grasp the fleetng moments and
join with 90,000,000 of people in
celebrating the fact that they are
a part of this free and independent
nation.
Soon after the noon hour the
dedication exercises of the liberty
pole were held and with the band
playing "Red, White and Blue,'
the big flag was hoisted to the
dizzy height of the new mast.
Rev. Ball delivered prayer and
was followed by the reading of the
Declaration of Independence by
Frank C. Jones. Patriotic songs
and music concluded the cere-
monies.
The sporting events were all
good, the winners of which were
strongly cheered. The report of
the committee published in this
issue shows the receipts and dis
bursements of all funds.
Not one incident occurred to mar
the pleasures of the day.
