FARMERS BUILDING

Call II the Jersey Car Route, the
Short Horn Used As An Emblem
On Everything.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 27.-The
farmers who are building the electric
railroad from Springfield to Joplin,
with branches to Mount Vernon and
Pierce City, to be in operation in
1911, have adopted a Jersey COW rs
their emblem and have named their
road the Jersey Cow route. The short
horn appears on all OF the stationery
OF the company and will be spread
rampant in yellow paint on all OF the
rolling stock of the company. Several
attempts were made In years gone by
to build an electric line over the
route, but the regular type of inter
urban promoters never could get the
farmers interested. Then j. |. Wood
fill. a retired railroad man who owns
a big farm near Springfield, took up
the proposed road with his brother
farmers. and more than a year ago
the company was organized. Now
the work is we'll under way. The stock
is all owned by agriculturists who
will be users of the road. and IL Is so
held that there will be no chance for
hostile influence to get hold OF it.

that the road would add $4,000 a

afford them quick and certain access

ROBERT VALUE
 GETS FREEDOM

Because of the absence of one of the most important witnesses for the state, the case of the State against Robert Value, negro school direc- or of the Sherrill neighborhood who was charged with bribery, was dis missed in the Jefferson circuit court. The case had been called three times and each time had to be con- tinued because of the absence of T material witness. Value was indict- 'sJfor accepting s5 bribe from Gen. eva Lucas, a negress, school teacher, who has since disappeared. Several years ago he was tried and convict ed but the case was appealed to th,, supreme court by his attorneys, Nix on and Shaw, and reervsed. Judge Grace disposed of it yesterday, when another effort was made to get a trial without the most important state witness.

FORCERS GO TO
 THE GRAND JURY
Two White Men Admit Passing Worthless Paper Here and Tell of Similar Work at Helena and
 Friar's Point, Miss.

Frank Stanley and Robert Hobson. the two White men who were recently arrested in this city by Constable Frank Stewart and Deputies W. A. Branson and D. w. Stewart on d charge of forgery and passing worth less paper generally, were yesterday bound over to the Jefferson county grand jury by Magistrate J. A. Fraz- fer. the men could not explain hoy they came into possession of so maay checks and, the distribution of wolth- less paper here and elsewhere, and the cases were referred to the grand jury. Stanley admitted passing q worthless check on Otto Roedel at the Hotel Jefferson and said he want ed to be sent to the state prison a.; soon as possible and would like to plead guilty before Judge Grace and begin his sentence as early as pos sible.
 A letter was received yesterday oy- Constable Frank Stewart from tho Helena authorities stating that they believed Stanley and Hobson the same men who operated in that city recently, passing several checks. They said the men were also wanted at Friar's Point, Miss.

Discovery of Gas Pockets Made While Digging
 the Well. a
LAND LEASES TAKEN
Large and Small Tracts are Changing Hands and Gas and Oil Ex-
 perts are on Ground.

The well in the court house yard at Star City, Lincoln county, which has created so much talk of oil and gas in this section, was completed yesterday and will be used for water ing purposes by the city and county. The we'll was completed at depth of 1,4O0 feet and produces 75,000 gallons per day. The contract called for a reason the we'll was bored to such a great depth.
 The Clifford Well Company, which sunk the well released the job. L. B. Clifford, of the Clifford Company who has been interested in the discovery of gas pockets as the well was being bored, will not leave Star City, it is understood, but will begin the con- struction of other wells in the vicinity Of Star City. MT. Clifford F. c. Hol- land and Horace c. McGaughey ac- companied Mrs. D. B. Stinson and daughter to Star City yesterday in Mrs. Stinsons car, and spent the day there
 The last work on the well was done Sunday and during the opera tons, a gas pocket was exploded, but the operations did not stop, as it was desired to finish the well at once Messrs Holland, McGaughey and Cliff ford are all interested in the reports of oil and gas in this section and made the trip to look over the situa- ton.
 ! It is reported that since the dis cOvery of the gas pockets in the we'll at Star City, real estate at that place has greatly inc ceased and practically oil leases. It appears that the resi- dents of the town are greatly inter- ested in the prospects, but will not act. on account of the many experts who are in the city. It appears that they are holding back to see what step will be taken by the experts. It is reported that real estate in large and small tracts are now changing hands frequently among the experts and the residents of that locality.
 Mrs. Stinson reports that the roads between this city and Star City, are in very good condition, and the trip yesterday was quite pleasant. She insists that good roads will fin ally be one of Arkansas greatest as- sets and believes in boosting the work. She is general agent for the U. M F. automobiles.

 Those in charge of the popular store
 reported that they were we'll pleas

| which is predicted to be a favorite of all styles this fall. This remalk- able hat is made in two parts, with appearance of one hat The first part is a large black rim with plumes and ribbons, while the lower part is an attractive cap to fit the head. This hat is especially adapted to use in visiting the theater The two when witnessing the performance the top may be removed and still an at tractive head gear may be worn, but the ancient effect of one hat obstruet- ing the view of several hundred peo- pie, will be abolished Unless fash ion compels the fair sex to greaty increase their beauty curls to the ex- tent that hats have been growing in size, the combination hat will reign as the highest perfection of headgear that fashion artists have ever at tained. Madame Louise is given as the name of this marvellous crea- tion.
 Cute little automobile hoods are among the nobbiest creations. They
 are made with red satin and black velvet. Much attention is also given
 to Misses Hats.

 ed from the play of that name, are among the prettiest offered. They vary in colors and size. The milli- nery department of the Gordon Store
