Too Much Pie.

and $4,000 in four years, and il
that official position is held eight
years between $4,000 and
$780, will be realized by it's in
cumbent.
What has any one man ever
done for the Democratic party in
this county that he should be
given any such generous recoe.
milton? Would it not help the
party to allow two Democrats to
be recorder for four years, each,
rather than let one man monopo-
lie the job for eight years?
Too much pie has q tendency
to produce gout. Why not les.
sen the chances of that
elutinous disease in the recor.
ders office by giving two Demo.
Gratis a chance to get to the pie
counter rather than let one
Democrat eat pie for eight years?
We think eight years is too
much, and that a better feeling
would result in the Democratic
psrty's ranks when SIC, 900 or
$40, 900 worth of Office is divided
by two.
Some say it is 'oustomary"
and democratic" to let a man
have two terms, but we believe
that rotation in Office is a much
sounder and saner principle of
Democracy and would break the
monotony as well as the monop-
oily.
.If you look st it that way, you
should cast your vote for G. P.
Vsndiver for recorder of deeds
at the primary election next
Tuesday, August 2.
AS editor of the COURIER you
well know the things that Vandi-
yer stood for. We would like to
have your endorsement by your
vote IL you believe we deserve it.
That however, is question for
you to decide, and we shall
cheerfully abide by the result
whatever It may be.

of the Commission: The three
representatives of Keytesville,
designated by the commission
and citizens present have just
had q full conference with the
two gentlemen here representing
the Wabash Railway Co., with
, reference to matters complained
of. After frank and full dis
cussion of all the issues we have
reached this agreement:
The representatives of the
Wabash here have agreed to re-
port to Mr.. Miller, who is vice.
president and general manager
of the Wabash, in substance, the
contentious made by the citizens
of Keytesville with reference to
the insdequscy Of the present
service and also some recitation
of the facts with reference to the
number of times No. 8 has stop.
ped here and the number of
times it has passed without stop.

which ensbles us TO reach st.
Louis in time to make connec.

that as fair and satisfactory ser.

with the idea that the recommen.

tives of the Wabash to Mr.. Mil.
Ter will be acted upon favorsbly,
We withdraw all contention with
reference to the stoppsge Of

acts fsvorably on the recommen-
dations made by the Wabash
representatives here and stops
No. 8 for passengers to all points
where No. 8 now stops, in other
words, make this a regular stop,
that will end the controversy. If
MIR. Miller acts acoertably and
favorably upon the recommends"

The proposition as stated by
Judge Rucker was then put to q

Of the difficulties a short love

Judge Rucker Injured by FAN

Judge W. w. Rucker was
painfully injured Saturday after
noon, while helping to fix hay
NOW in George Applegste's barn.
AS he was coming down the
steps from the loft, he missed his
footing and fell headlon9, strik-
ing his right leg on one Of the
stalls in the barn, and falling on
his shoulders. He was not un.
conscious when reached by the
men who were helping, but he
was so stunned by the fall that
he had to be carried into the
house. His leg was bruised 80
badly that he has been walking
with crutches and canes ever
since.
81 thought surely my leg was
broken," said Judge Ruoker,
"snd 1 can't see how l escaped
alive. If l had struck on my
head instead of my shoulders, 1
am sure my neck would have
been broken" Excepting his
limb and the occasional pain
when he moved, the Judge was
in his usual health yesterday,
and he probably will be fully re.
covered in a few days.

being enunciated in Norman French. and
fourteen years later the baby king,
Henry VI. proclaimed in quaint English
The king forbfds that ma man play at

good Queen Bess launched AT the sport
their royal disfavor. The necessity for
such oft-repeated legislation against the
game would indicate the futilty of such
laws. And what picture is presented
of one of our rebellious fellow players

court of the kings bench during the
reign of Henry VIII:
And the grand inquest inuuiring upon
their oaths do present that William Wal
ton. yeoman. of the county of MiddleseX
at day and place aforesaid did misbehave
himself playing foot ball.
The love of the youth of England for
this game was too strong for it's princes
to quell. While the kings were assailing
this noble sport the sport was f1outing
the kings by passing into proverbs ! in
their English. "All fellows at foot BALI
