The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1909-11-25

Every few days we read in some
Republican or Assistant Republican
paper a sneer at the expense of Gov.
Dockery and the ''0ld Guard, "says
the Clinton Democrat. Would to
Heaven there were more Old Guard
ex-Governors such as Dockery.
When a man spends lifetime in
Congress, rounds out as chief execu-
tive of his State and then proceeds to
make himself genuinely useful pri-
vate citizen, it proves that there is
something to him.
Read the following from the Gal
latin Democrat.
Gov. Dockery completed the grad
ing of the county road from the Rock
Island overhead bridge to the Grand
River county bridge on Tuesday last,
and the township board is now get
ting matters in shape to furnish rock
to macadamize the road.
''The grade is said to be one of the
best, if not the best, ever made in
this county. When the rock is put
on the dump it will be "a thing Of
beauty and a Joy forever" and above
any ordinary stage Of high water.
"Mr. Dockery is negotiating with
the officials of the Wabash in an en-
deavor to induce the railroad COM
pany to grade and macadamize its
right of way from the county road
near the Calf Pen" school house to
the depot.
He is also trying to persuade the
Rock Island road to pay the cost of
grading and matchmaking its right
of way where the county road crosses
il near the residence Of Joseph Luke
hart. 1t is hoped that he will be sue
sessful in both efforts.
. Under the Governors supervision
the gulleys alongside the road from
the power house to the overhead
bridge are also being cleaned out, the
brush and debris removed and the
road rounded up so that the water
will be drained off on both sides thus
preserving the macadam.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this Is found In
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the toI
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges
ton, and yet 1t is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make 1t an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than il
fed on almost any other kind of food
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
ular size packages, large size family
packages and Theoretically sealed tins

LOEB GUSTS SEVENTY
NINE CUSTOMS MEN.
Sugar Investigation Leads to
Wholesale Dismlssals of
Federal Employees.

New York.. Nov.-Collector of the
Port William Loeb Jr. announced the
removal from the customs service of
seventy-nine employees and attaches
of the weighing and other divisions
of the customs service here. Among
those dismissed are James F. Vail,
formerly deputy surveyor of the
weighing division; James P. Hyland
and Joseph O. Carroll, ex-foreman OF
weighing divisions.
Secretary MacVeagh, in Washing
ton, announced that there WILL be nc
further grants Of immunity in the in.
vestigation. He made this clear, ex-
planning that he received this assur.
ance when he was in New York con-
ferring with Collector Loeb and
others. CollectorL Loeb, the Secretary
said, assured him that there would be
no further occasion for it; that they
had accomplished what was needed
by the immunity previously promis.
ed.
The three weighers who confessed
to the authorities, and whose evi
dence has figured SO largely in the
investigation, have not been-disturb
ed in the service, and they will re-
main SO far as the Government is
concerned. But Mr.. MacVeagh point
ed out that it was questionable wheth.
er they would care to continue in the
limelight very long.

STARR ADMITS HE DIDrT.
A Confession of . Colorado Bank
Robbery By the Outlaw.

Lamar, Col, Nov.-Henry Starr,
the bandit, surprised a courtroom
full Of spectators here by pleading
guilty to the charge of having partici.
pated in the robbery of the bank al
Amity, Col, last spring.
Since his capture some months age
Starr has insisted he was innocent
and that an attempt was being made
to convict him on his past record. He
said he had reformed previous to the
Amiy robbery. No evidence was
heard. Starts wife and baby were
in court, and Mrs. Starr wept bitterly
when her husband pleaded guilty.
Stairs baby was named after ex-
President Roosevelt.
Henry Starr is the last of the free
and wild class of clever desperadoes,
fearless, murderous and cruel but
not without a flavor Of dashing bravo
do and a leaven of romance. He is a
fit follower of the James and Young
er boys, a precise duplicate of that
earlier boy bandit, BILLY the Kid, "
and an able successor to his distant
kinsman, Tom Starr, an Indian des-
perado, whose exploits were the
thrillers of other days not so long
past.
In the early '9Os, when Henry Starr
was still a boy in his teens, evil COM
panions led him into his first crime,
the selling of whisky to the Indians.
But the genius of Starr was destined
for a more thrilling field than the
petty bootlegging of delectable Sire
water" In 1891 he and companions,
said to have been his brother, "Bill, "
who was later caught and hanged for
murder, and his sister, Belle, robbed
the express office at Nowata and fled
with the spoils. This adventure i'm
mediately placed him in the outlaw
category, for it was followed closely
by the murder of a deputy United
|
States marshal, Floyd wilson.
Wilson and another marshal named
Dickey set out after Starr and follow
ed him into his haunts on Wolf
Creek, only to find him gone. They
pursued him to x. U. Ranch on Cali
fornia Creek and came up in time to
see him leaving. Wilson got horse
and set out after the fleeing outlaw,
Dickey following some distance be-
hind. Wilson finally caught up, and
Starr dismounted. Then followed a
| fight in which Wilson was killed.
Starr escaped on Wilson's horse.
The killing of Wilson was the be-
ginning of the most bold and desper-
ate holdups, bank robberies and MUIR
ders since the times Of the JameseS.
In surprisingly rapid succession
bandits, said to have been led by
Starr, fell upon the Bentonville Bank
at Bentonville, Ark, the Chelsea rail-
road station, the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas train at Pryor Creek, Ok.
stores at Nuwata and Choteau, Ok,
the bank at Aldrich, Mo-, and the
Caney Valley Bank at Caney, Kan,
the last of which finally proved the
undoing Of the outlaw. Three thou.
sand dollars was obtained at Aldrich

have seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and

Lancaster, Wis, says: II suffered

hips for a few years. During that time
[ took many remedies but did not sue
ceed in getting relief. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my atten
ton, and I procured box. l used
them according to directions and my
kidneys have not given me any trouble
since. I consider Doan's Kidney Pills
a fine remedy and am glad to recon-
mend them to other persons suffering

An Unusual Opportunity.

DR.. Woodrow Wilson, president Of
Princeton University, believes that the
Democratic party is facing a great OPP
portunity and great duty. In re-
cent address he said:
THE party in power has become en-
tangled with all sorts Of interests, great
and small, has lost its freedom of choice
in a hundred ways, and may be said to
have allied itself with something less
than the nation as a whole.
1.-The democratic party, on the other
hand, is free from entanglements and
is at liberty to choose policies suited to
the national conditions as a whole. 1t
is free to make a program for the
general good if it will, with perfect
candOr and simplicity.
