As national lawmaker Senator George T.

When Jas. Gardner, col, who was
being taken to the county jail by
Deputy Constable Sam Wallace on
Tuesday morning, broke and started
to run, he was shot and badly wound
ed by the officer in charge. The
bullet struck Gardner in the hip
and lodged in his body. The attend
ing physician probed for the bull
let. Just how bad he is hurt Is NOT
known.
The authorities at Moberly tele-
phoned to this city early Tuesday
morning to arrest Gardner, wanted
in that city for jumping a fine. Con-
stable Wallace was detailed to
make the arrest. The negro was
found by the officer at Kemper's sa.
loon, and arrested. The officer and
his prisoner started for the Jail and
had reached a point on the west side
of the City Hotel, when Gardner
broke and ran. Constable Wallace
demanded that Gardner stop, where
upon he refused and was shot.
Gardner is considered mean me-
gro. He and Sonny Boy Mitch
ell got in mix-up several years
ago and Sonny Boy" shot him
through the arm.

Poultry raising has grown into
such an enormous industry that it
can no longer be classed as a side
line, ranking, as it does, next to
live stock in the amount of money it
brings annually to the farmers.
The surplus for the year 1907
brought i'm the grand sum of $44S66,-
447, placing the State ahead of Iowa,
Indiana, Ohio and one or two other
commonwealth, which had long led
the list of producres.
According to the advance informa-
tion the poultry, eggs and feathers
placed ON the markets of the large
cities of this State brought to the
farmers $44, 4,96O,972 in 1908, which is
a gain of $94,S26 IN value over 1907.
Surplus Is Large.
OF course it must be remembered
that the poultry and eggs the farm
ers consumed themselves and what
they sold TO their immediate neigh
bors are not included in the large
valuation just given. ALL turkeys
chickens, squads, ducks, geese anc
pigeons which were hauled into the
large cities and towns, and the vast
amount shipped out by rail, boat
and express make up the calculation
In figures this surplus amounted tc
100 ,215, ,S42 pounds of live poultry, val
ued at $12,021 ,5S4 and S3,95O,62i
pounds of dressed POULTRY, valued al
$10,O74,074.
Allowing pounds to each fowl i'm
cluded in the tabulatlon and givint
each fowl enough room In whicl
to move around in, 1t would require
an Enclosure covering nearly twenty
two square miles to hold the 40,

bined live and dressed poultry sur
plus.

RID, ,Graniteville, vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints snch as
inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, tibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia Z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay 1t is worth noun
tains of gold to suffering women.
