FIRST CASE ON RECORD.

J. B. Renee of New Bloomfield
was indicted for divulging the ma
ture OF his evidence before the
grand jury, and on a plea of gull
ty before Judge N. d. Thurmond
Friday afternoon, was sentenced
to serve a term of three months
in the county Jail. Afterward Re-
noe was paroled on condition that
he. pay all costs, report regularly
to the court for a year, and dur
ing that time abstain from drink
ing liquor and every form of law
violation.
Renee is the first person ever
indicted in Missouri for such an
offense, though the law has been
on the statute books q long time.
His indictment and punishment
doubtless will cause others to re-
gard the sanctity OF their oatM
more carefully when they prom

The commercial club has been
holding daily meetings to arrange
for securing the right-of-way thru

The benefits to be derived from
this gigantic enterprise can hard
ly be estimated. Already city prop

have taken a big boost and in
many places their value will be
doubled when the road is COM

bear this in mind, and give the of

ANOTHER WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Electricity, telephones, airship5
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed i'm
possible a few years ago. But it
seems there is nothing SO i'm
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means of accom-
plishment. Prof. Emerson has now
discovered a preparation which
will really grow hair. Iowa peo-
pie r amazed and aStounded ,py
Emerson's new discovery for the
hair. Emerson said that one bot
tie of his new discovery would
grow a full head of hair and re-
store gray Or faded hair to it's
natural color. The people did
not believe him. 1t was too much
to expect and too good to be true.
They had tried all the highly adj
vertised hair restorers and had
always been disappointed and they
could not believe one bottle would
really grow a full head of hair.
But now comes the most startling
part 'of all-for Emerson proved
it - yes, absolutely proved it.
What do, you think he did? He
made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by the UNI
heard of offer, but they knew chat
he was financially responsible and
would do as he agreed if it cost
him his fortune. Thousands
bought bottles of his new dis

several important steps were TAX
en-. Mr.. Griffith, one Of the direct
ors of the road, spent the entire
week here making the final ar
engagements toward locating the
right-of-way and also securing
same. The company decided to
stay on the south side CT the Wa
bash and will not cross at New
Florence and Just west Of town,
as was at first contemplated. This
necessitates securing a new right
of-way through the western part
of the county. At Warrenton, too,
some very important changes
were made. Instead OF going a
mile south OF town, a new route
was laid out through the city linn

of his gates after he had maintained a
sort of open house for nearly half a
century.
His field of enterprise was DELHI
erately chosen amid the pine barrens
and crawfsh flats of Henrico county,
Virginia.
In the heart of this poverty-strlcken
region he expended In wages alone more
than half million dollars. only to
awaken to the fact that he had nour-
ished a tribe of callow communist

He will cheerfully disappoint the ra-

He will leave nothing for them to
prevaricate over or scramble for.
Fifty years is enough TO throw away
