1.-The Man Behind"

We DONE mean the man behind
the times, nor the man behind in
his payments. julius Caesar was
"the man behind" Rome. Washing
ton was "the mar behind" the Uni
ed States at a crisis in it's history.
Every successful bushes venture,
no matter how humble, has man
behind, the man who shoulders the
responsibility and plans the cam
paign who possesses those quail
ties that bring success 20 him and
to those associated with him in
business.
Young man! Il you wish to be
"the mar behind" a successful
enterprise, attend the Moberly Com
mercial College, Of Moberly, Mo.
Missouri's best school of Bookkeep
ing Business Training, Shorthand
and Typewriting. With such an
equipment as this school will
give you the time will come when
you will be "she man behind" a sue
cessful enterprise, when you will
become a factor in the business
world, and your name a synonym
of success, again exemplifying the
fact that with educated head and
skilled hands young men and wo-
men can carve their names upon
the tallest towers of fame. We can
place you in agood position just
as soon as your ours is finished.
Write for catalogue and make ar
engagements to enter at once. We
enjoy splendid patronage, which
shows the overwhelming popular
ity of the Moberly Commercial Col
lege; it shows that the people
appreciate the advantage of the
famous Byrne system we teach,
which saves the student, while
qualifying himself to hold a good
position, almost 5000 in time and
board over what it would cost in a
school teaching other systems.

Married.

The engagement has been an
nounced OF Miss Emily Bell, of
Nelson to Mr.. Franklin F. Mari, of
Ridge Prairie. The announcement
does not come as a surprise to the
many friends of the young couple
for such an outcome of along
courtship is but to be expected.
The bride-to-se is one of Nelson's
most beautiful and gifted young
ladies, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. E. Bell. She will be in
every way an honor to the home
she has chosen to fill. The young
gentleman is an enterprising farm
ar and owns one of the most beau
tiful homes in the community.
The exact date of the wedding
has not been decided upon.

Dearest allowed the most delightful

Mr.. Frank is the only candidate
whose friends are pushing his candi-
dacy and Is the only man who was
petitioned to run for the high honor.
TIE petition was signed by the best
mon in st. Louis, men who have been
associated with him in the courts, in
party councils and in voluntary bust
ness organizations formed to boost the
interests of st. Louis and Missouri.
Members of the auxiliary commit.
tee feel that Mr.. Franks standing as
a lawyer and citizen entitled him TO
the nomination. Mr.. Frank is basing
his candidacy on the record made by
him in congress.
He was elected from the city of st.
Louis as the first Republican member
of congress n 1856 and reelected in
1883. The outcome of the election
Of 1856 disclosed a rank condition in
the election machinery, then in the
hands of one man called a Recorder of
votes, a Democrat. He succeeded in
having the office abolished and a
board Of election commissioners sub
stituted, and at the same time sent
one, Jim Eagan, the leader Of an or
g~anized band Of ballot box suffers to
he p~enitentiary. That was the be-
ginning of the war for ballot reform,
now happily contaminated by Gov.
Hadley, in taking the police depart
ment, a Democratic adjunct to cleo
ticn frauds out OF politics.
He was chairman of the executive
committee OF the State Committee in
1894.
He has been a member Of the eX-
ecutive committee of the Business
Mems League since it was organized.
and all of that time chairman of the
committee on conventions and enter
tainment.
Mr.. Frank has succeeded in bring
ing more conventions to St. Louis
than any one la He secured the
holding of the National Republican
Convention in st. Louis in 1896, that
nominated William Mckinley for
President of the United States. He
is the personal friend f President
Taft.

charge the candidacy of Mr.. Nathan
