NARROW ESCAPE FOR
SHERIFF BULLOCK.
Shot Fired in the Dark by I'm
known Party.

Sheriff w. ]. Bullock narrowly eS-
capped being shot early Saturday
morning when some unknown person
discharghed gun on the east side Of
the square, the bullet striking the
sidewalk near the sheriff.
Mr.. Bullock had come in on the
north bound, which was late, and
went, with night officer Duncan to
Alsbach's cafe for a lunch. Leaving
the cafe on his way home, he started
south on the east side of the square.
AS he approached the stairway be-
tween the Star Theatre and the Globe
Trading Company, a gun was dis
charged a short distance ahead of
him and the bullet struck the side
walk near him. The flash of the re-
volver seemed to come from slight
ly above. As soon as the shot was
fired Sheriff Bullock stopped short
and remained absolutely quiet think
ing to hear some sound by which he
might locate his aSSaiant, but was
unable to do so.
Mr.. Kerr, proprietor of the restau-
rant, stated that he heard some one
descending the back stairs between
the restaurant and the Globe Trading
Co.
Up to date no clew has been dis
covered which would reveal the
identity of the party or his motive.

FRATERNAL INSURANCE DISPUTE

Two fraternal congresses are to
meet this month in Detroit and in At
lantic City, and will legislate on mat
ters OF much Importance to every man
who is a member of fraternal insur-
ance orders. 1t is proposed to unite
in one great merger, fraternal insur-
ance interests having outstanding GER
tificates approximating ten billion dol
lars. The total membership OF the
societies is about eight million Some
time ago the National Fraternal Con
gress declared emphatically that ade-
Quate rates of contribution by men,
bers was indispensable to the sound
ness of the societies. This caused a
split in the membership, and num-
ber of societies withdrew and organ
lied the Associated Fraternities of
AlucI I'D III l!lIS ldttel ldi Se llltlli-
bership in Columbia. and in all of the
states of the Middle West. The in
surance commissioners of the various
states have repeatedly warned the
fraternal societies that unless those
now insolvent voluntarily adopted
measures to secure solvency, the com
missioners would urge regulative
measures to bring it about and retire
the derelict society. Practically the
only gulf between the two bodies is
on the matter of rates. AS TO whether
or not this will be bridged at the
congresses this month there is diff
ference of opinion among prominent
fraternal insurance men.

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
cHIcAGO-AND COLUMBIA

The ordinance which provides pen
alty for unclean streets in Ch!caSo
might be a good one for Columbia TO
adopt. 1t provides that 1T shall be
unlawful for any person to throw. de-
post or sweep on any street. sidewalk
or alley in the city, within the liirlS-
diction of the municipality, any paper.
pasteboard. shavings, ashes. Carriage.
slops. fruit, vegetables, ill-smelling
LIQUIDS, or any kind OF dirt or rub
bish" Now, with an ordinance OF
that sort. and a municipality back OF
il to enforce its observance, it IS plain
that the streets Will be kept clan.
The penalty for violation OF this or
dinance in Chicago is 4 fine OF not
less than two dollars nor more than
one hundred dollars.
But, is there any valid reason why
the streets of pork packing Chicago
should be held to a higher standard
of cleanliness and beauty than those
of Columbia, the educational center OF
Missouri? Does the stencil from de
caying fruit and vegetables and of heI
garbage give offense in greater de
gree to the nostrils of the commercial
mad Chicagoan than it does to the
man OF intellectual, esthetic Colum
bia? Are the eyes OF the resident
of the Lake City more easily offended
by repulsiye, nauseating sights thar
are those of the man or woman OF Col
umbia, a city the very foundation O
which is culture, refinement, educa
tional excellence?
Ask yourself these questions, if yop
are resident of Columbia, and SEE
if you can arrive at logical reason
why sanitary conditions which wOult
not be tolerated in Chicago should b.
good enough" for Columbia.
