YOU SHOULD REGISTER.

Parish Registrar Z. F. Newell
complains at the laxity of the quail
flied voters of the parish in the
matter of their registration, which
is sine qua non if they expect to
cast their ballots at the coming pri-
mary and regular election for Con-
gresham from this District, which
all no doubt desire to do.
Mr.. Newell has visited every ward
and precinct of the parish within
the past few weeks, carrying his
registration books with him, yet,
Notwithstanding this, there are a
number who failed to present them
selves for registration. Those who
are delinquent upon this score should
visit his office at the Court House
in st. Joseph before August 9th
and see that their names are duly
and properly enrolled.
The Gazette is anxious to see
Tensas the banner parish" of the
District for Hon. Joseph E. Rams
dell, in his coming race for Con-
gress, and this can only come from
a full registration, and then the
casting of their votes by those who
are duly qualified. Every one in the
parish knows what Mr.. Ransdell
has done for our parish and State
since he has been member of Con-
gress, and should show their appre-
citation of his earnest and indefati-
gable efforts along this line by sus-
tanning his candidacy to man.
The primary will take place on
the 9Th of September, and while
the election law requires. the closing
of the registration books thirty days
before an election, yet there is
ample time for all to prepare them
selves to exercise their right of SUI
frage, which they should do, be-
cause it is not only their duty but
they owe it to the distinguished can
didate.

Father Of Mrs. Vaughn Dies Of BrOk.

Monroe City,, M. Proctor, one OF
the wealthiest residents of north Mis-
souri,, died at his home in Monroe
City. He was 7S years old. Mr. Proc
tor was the father of Mrs. Alma Proc
tor Vaughn, indicted jointly with DR..
James B. Hull of Monroe City, OF a
charge of poisoning her husband, Pro
fessor John Thomas Vaughn, Of the
chair of American history at the
Kirksville State Normal school, ano
widely known as an educator and au.
thor.
The accusation against his daugh-
ter, whom he idolized on account Of
her wit and beauty, is believed to
have fastened her death. Mr.. Proc
tor had suffered from heart disease
for several years, but a few months
before Mrs. Vaughn was indicted he
had been greatly improved. Friends
believe that the immediate cause of
his death was a broken heart over the
accusation against his daughter, whom
he could believe to be only innocent.

Children.

Listen to this opinion from David
Starr Jordan:
There is nothing in all the world
so important as children, nothing SO
interesting. If you ever wish to go In
for some philanthropy, if you ever
wish to be of any real s in the
world, do something for children. II
you ever yearn to be truly wise, study
children. We can dress the sore,
bandage the wounded, imprison the
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there is always a chance
that we can save a child. If the great
army of philanthropists ever exter'
inmate sin and pestilence, ever work
out u races salvation, it will be be-
cause a little child has led them

Theodore Roosevelt's hunting trip in
Africa, officially known as the Smith
sonian African expedition, lasted near
ly eleven months and was most sue
cessful In every way. The coloners
desire to hunt big game was not all
that was back of the trip, for the
Smithsonian Institution wanted speci-
mems of the fauna and fora of the
Dark Continent and commissioned the
ex-president to obtain them. For this
reason, a part of the expenses were
borne by the institution, but Mr..
Roosevelt paid all the expenses OF
himself and his son Kermit, presuma-
bly, earning much of them oy his arti-
cles in a magazine for which he re-
ceived a record-breaking price.
Not wasting much time after leav-
ing the White House, Colonel Roose.

Taking train TO Kapitil plains. the
party became the guests of Sir Alfred
Pease on his ranch. An immense
caravan of 26O persons was organized
and on April rs Colonel Roosevelt
had his first African hunt On this
occasion he bagged two wildebeests
and a Thompson's gazelle. April 80
was a notable day in the camp on the
Athi, for on that day the first lions
fell victims to the craftsmanship Of
the Roosevelts. Theodore shot two
and Kermit one, and there was great
rejoicing among the natives who made
up the aravan After that the big
game came fast and cheetahs, giraifes,
! rhinoceroses and more lions were
added to the list, in all IA varieties of
animals being secured. Meanwhile
Kermit was busy with his cameras
and the n~aturalists prepared the spe-
cimens.
George Mcmillan, an American. was
the next host of the hunters, and sew
eral weeks were spent on his hne Ju
ia ranch and in the surrounding coun-
try. There the game was very pienti-
full and many fine specimens were
bagged. Members of the party made
several extensive trips of exploration,
notably on and around Mount Kenia.
The expedition left East Africa De-
cember 10, crossed Uganda and went
down the White Nile, getting back to
comparative civilization at Gondokoro.
There they went aboard a steamer
put at their disposal by the sirdar.
and journeyed to Khartum, where
Mrs. Roosevelt met her husband, and
accompanied him in a leisurely trip to
Cairo. During his stay in Egypt Col.
onel Roosevelt was the recipient Of
many honors and made several
speeches. One of them. in which he
praised the administration Of the
British, gave considerable offense to

graphing the animals of East Africa
and for preserving the specimens des-
tined for the Smithsonian Institution.
Kermit had trained himself to be the
chief photographer Of the expedition,
but he also turned out to be consider
able of a hunter.
A great throng of friends and adj
mirers babe the colonel farewell, and
he sailed away, but could not entirely
separate himself from the world, for
practically all the way across the At

over, at the Azores, and again at
Gibraltar, he found the officials and
people insisted on doing him honor,
and when he reached Naples on April

greet him with flowers and cheers.
Boarding the German steamship Ad-
