On the Police Force

The following from a Kansas
City paper, in which M. R. Wisner
(better known here as Ralph Wis
ner) son of G. H. Wisner of Shar-
on, is one of the principals,
will be of interest to the friends of
the Wisner families. Ralph has
been on the Kansas City police
force several months, tips the beam
at 100 and is in fine physical CO n
dition:
CA negro bystander contrived the
escape of another negro who had
been arrested for robbing a white
man last night.
"George Roberts and M. R.Wis-
ner, patrolman, had arrested three
women near Ninth Street and State
Line. On the way to a patrol box
they found a negro holding up
John Horning. The negro had an
arm around Horning's neck and
Horning's purse in his hand. Both
were arrested.
GAS the policemen, with their FIVE
prisoners, neared the patrol box
another negro rushed through the
crowd and in the confusion the
negro hold-up man escaped. He
ran across the state line and was
pursued by a Kansas City Kas.,
negro patrolman, who fled when
Wisner began to shoot at the fu-
gitive.
"The three women and the vic
tim of the hold-up were taken to
the police station, the man for safe
keeping"

Mrs. Woodward Seeks Separation

On Wednesday, February 23rd,
Eleanor Woodward filed a suit for
divorce and alimony from her hus-
band, Hugh T. Woodward. Noble
g Tincher are her attorneys.
Mrs. Woodward was formerly
Mrs. Eleanor Hull. She is the
mother of Mrs. w. H. Moore who
is the wife Of the former Methodist
pastor of this city, now residing at
Kingman. Mrs. Hull was the wild.
ow of an ex.union soldier. She
resided at Topeka before her mar
riage to Mr.. Woodward and con-
Quoted private rooming house.
She complains that she surrendered
this and widows pension when
she became Mr.. Woodward's wife
and asks for reasonable alimony.
There is nothing sensational in
her accusations. 1t seems to be
merely a case of lncongeniality.
Each appears to be set in his and
her ways and they can not agree.
They were married November 6,
1909.
Mr.. Woodward is one of the
leading merchants Of this city and
has been in business here many
year. His friends regret to learn
that his second marriage resulted
unhappily.
Samuel Griffin is Mr.. Wood.
wards attorney. No answer to the
plaintiffs petition has yet been
made. The case will probably be
disposed of at the adjourned day
of court April 9TH.

The Missouri Girl March 3rd

In the last dozon years the 'Mis-
souri, Girl" has been seen in this
city several times and the visit
again this season which is announc-
ed for Thursday, March 3rd, will
be hailed with delight by the num-
erous theater goers who have so
long contended that this attraction
is the greatest of all comedies and
that eek" and"Daisy are the fun.
niest OF all stage characters. The
success of this attraction has stim-
ulated other managers to offer pro.
ductions of similar nature, but
none has ever yet succeeded in. pro-
ducing an imitation that will sat-
isfy the theater-goers who have
seen the original show.
The company this season is said
to be even stronger than when the
play was last seen here, and the
unusual demand for seats so far in
advance augurs we'll for capacity
business. The prices are in accord.
ance with the time and so reason.
able that everyone can afford a
brief holiday with "Zeke" and
"Daisy." The vaudeville features
this season are especially strong,
and the whole production is in
keeping up with the high standard
of excellence that characterizes
Fred Raymond's attractions.

matter is now under discussion. Mr..
Miller has his material where he can
command it at once and he binds him
self to have the plant in operation in
ample time to supply this seasons ice.
Unless there is halt in the financial
arrangements, which now seems i'm
probable, work on the plant will begin
within two weeks and it will be turn
ing out ice to consumers in less than
sixty days.
This is matter of great concern to
our city and community and will
bring more substantial benefit than
any other public facility that could be
desired Once established, there can
be no doubt of its success.

osity, occupied the Baptist pulpit
in this city Sunday afternoon and
night. The afternoon lecture was
for men only and the main room
was nearly filled. The evening
lecture was attended by large
audience, standing room being at
a premium. Rev. Armitage is
the same gentleman who re-
Gently lectured at Sharon. He
and his wife have taken up their
residence for the present at Attica
and he gains livelihood by lec-
turing. At the age of three years he
was crippled in the lower limbs by
taking calomel and they are fright
fully deformed. He moves about on
his hands and knees with the aid
of small blocks in his hands. Aside
from his physical condition, he
has another sad message. He was
confined in prison in New York
state nearly FIVE years, innocently,
and gained his liberty through a
pardon issued by Gov. Flower af
ter the guilty man made a confes-
sion on his death bed. The crime
charged against him was that of
setting a hotel building on fire.
He was bartender in the hotels
saloon and it was case in which
circumstances were plainly against
him yet he was perfectly innocent.
He tells some very heartrending
stories and pictures pitiable scenes
in prison life and it all reflects dis
creditably on those prison officials
who abuse their authority. Rev.
Armitage assumes responsibility
for having been a bartender apd
thus placing himself in a position
to be suspected of having commit
ted the crime for which he was
imprisoned but otherwise claims to
have always lived a clean life.
Upon entering the penitentiary he
made a pledge to consecrate his
life to the Master and he has al
ways been faithful to his VOW.

A Record for Economy

The expense of maintaining a
motor car is often exaggerated. A
good car carefully handled and
properly sheltered is in fact less ex-
penslve than any other means of
travel. To substantiate this state
ment may be cited the record made
bv H. L. Williams of Mlngona
township. Mr.. Williams purchas-
ed a Ford touring car, five passen.
ger, June 18, 1909 and kept COM
plete record of every item of ex-
pense since that time and the mum.
Der OF miles travelled up to Febru-
ary 20, 1910, and the record is as
follows.
Barbour County index., 1910-03-02

lhus 1T will be seen that Mr..
Williams maintained and operated
his car nine months and covered
1000 miles at the nominal cost of
$26.2o-$2.o1 per month.
d. w. Stone and Chas. Kimball
OF the same neighberhood have
even better records although they
have kept no precise account. Mr..
Stone has had his car about eight
months and his total expense, out.
side of gasoline, was in the neigh
borhood of $3.50. Mr.. Kimball
has had his car about six months
and has had no breakage expense,
but has expended about $40 for
cleaning engine and incidentals.
He did not keep an account of the
gasoline and oil used.
S. |. Field has owned his car a
year and has driven it 5000 miles.
Fifteen dollars covers his breakage
expense. DIR. Donovan has used
his car one year and drove it about
the same distance and has had no
breakage whatever.
All of these are Model T. Ford
cars.
These facts and figures are pre-.
sented to prove that any man can
own and use a Ford car, if he ex.
ercises ordinary care,at a very small
expense.
Any person inclined to doubt
these statements can have them
verified by consulting any of the
parties above mentioned.
G. N. Marshall handles the Ford
cars and will be pleased to show
you them any time. He has sup
ply of them on hand constantly
