Keytesville July 4, AZ the great
est celebration ever seen in
Charlton county. The weather
was fine. Sunday night a COO
breeze came up and it continued
well up into the day of the Fourth,
By the time the merchants parade
started the streets were filled
with a happy good nstured
crowd. At no time in the day
was the weather unpleasantly
warm.
The greatest success of the day
was the parade. John D. Taylor
and Warner Ford were marshals.
The parade started at the court
house led by Mr.. Taylor. Fol.
lowing him, was the cannon
which was fired at 6 O'Clock that
morning. Then came 80 girls on
horses led by Miss Anna Eliza
Pearson. Miss Pearson repre-
sented the United States of
America, and the other girls
represented different nations.
The floats representing busi-
nesE firms in Keytesville and
some of the farmers in the vicin.
ity, comprised the next section
of the parade. The floats were
all beautiful and showed that q
great deal of time had been
spent in getting them up, and
they showed the originality and
enterprise of the merchants here.
Following the floats came the
Hooligsn parade headed by the
Hooligan band. Many of the
comic section characters of the
Sunday papers were represented
and the costumes and antics
greatly amused the crowd. The
whole parade was three quarters
OF q mile long. Logsn's band
furnished music throughout the
day. The band is good, and
many complimentary things were
said about it by visitors.
Mrs. L. E. Cook, made q fitting
pstriotio and numerous speech
at the band stand at 1880
O'Clock. A great many visitors
brought lunches in baskets and
the park was filled with parties of
persons eating lunch.
In the afternoon the regular
events of the program were run
off. The ring tournament and
the pulling off of the head of the
creased goose caused a great
deal of merriment and excite.
ment. A list of the events and
the prizes won is given below.
After darkness came, or tried
to come, the sky was kept bril-
liant with sky rockets and roman
candles and other kinds of fire
works which were fired from the
roof of the COURIER building.
The fireworks were not exhaust.
ed until a very late haur, and the
crowd stayed late. A dancing
platform was erected by the
Bank building and
the young people crowded around
it.
Some of the visitors who came
in the morning went home asI
came, but new crowds
came in with the dusk from
Brunswick, Salisbury, Dalton,
Glasgow, Mendon and other
places. Stands. doll racks,
strength testers, etc., were
plentiful and the crowds had no |

TEACHER MAY BE IN GAME

1t is the belief of coaches and play
ers of the University of Missouri foot
ball team that the game here Satur-
urday with Iowa University probably
will be the hardest game of the sea-
son, and every effort is being made to
put the best possible team on the field
against the Hawkeyes. 1t will be all
the more difficult to defeat Iowa be-
cause the Tigers are still maintaining
a large hospital list.
William Hollenback, head coach OF
the Tigers, said this morning that Iowa
has a very strong team and it will be
necessary for Missouri to try it's hard
est to beat them. Some improve
ment, he says, has been made by his
team this week and hard work has
been and will be done to whip it into
shape by Saturday. Dr. Hollenback
declared that although he was yet I'M
able to name any definite lineup for
the game he could; say that there
would be many changes made. The
team which faces the Iowans will be
very different, said the coach, from the
one which could do no better than tie
Rolla.
Thirteen Are Injured.
Frank B. Thatcher, captain OF the
Tigers, said yesterday that he believed
the team had shown much improve.

desired
The list of injured now includes
Saunders, quarterback; Hackney, Hall,
Dexter. and Mills halfbacks; captain
Thatcher, Johnson Graves, Fitch,
Craig. Miller, linemen; Burress and
Shuck, ends. Captain Thacher says
that his leg is little or no better, but
that he is going to be in the Iowa game
anyway. Hackney was out in a suit
again yesterday. but as his case Of
charley horse" is little better he was
kept out of the scrimmage. Hall and
Saunders are getting only light WORK
outs now but probably will be in con-
dition to enter the game Saturday.
The other men are not severely enough
hurt to keep them out of the scrim-
mage.
Held Scrubs Easily.
A little more than an hour was
spent yesterday in scrimmage, the
scrubs being used as buffers for the
Tigers. At first the scrubs held the
Varsity down, but in the latter part of
the practice the Tigers seemed to get
together better and handled the Sec
ond string men more easily. Pixlee,
who Won his letter last year on the
never. defeated Tiger team at end,
played fullback yesterday for the
scrubs. Given the Iowa formations,
the scrubs used PiXlee time and again
to buck the line and while he stayed
in "PiX" continued to make regular
gains of from five to ten yards through
the Varsity line.

the Varsity and did some good work,
especially on defense. Nowelrs kick
ing and tackling ability may win him
a place in the lineup against Iowa.

the first backfield to play on the Var
sity yesterday.
About forty-five men are now re-
