Made Address To High School.

DR.. Marquis of Coe college made an
interesting address to the Audubon
High School Monday morning. In the
course of his remarks he told little
story saying that once on a time gen
tleman who was addressing an audience
upon our public schools said that he
wanted his boys to learn something of
utility, something they could make use
of when they became men and cited the
milking of a COW as an example. A
lean old farmer arose in the back part
of the room and remarked that what
the gentlemen said was all right as far
as it went, but he wanted his boys to
learn something besides in the perform.

Section 20 Years.

Versailles, Mo, January 30 The west
ern part of Morgan County is in state
of terror over the latest operations of a
mysterious criminal, who has been defy
ing detection for twenty years. Theft,
arson and the wanton manning OF ami
mails are charged to him, and so fire.
quentiy have these crimes been commit.
ted in the last year that several farmers
have sold their farms at sacrifice and
moved out of the State.
The extreme western part of the co,.n-
ty is fifteen miles from railroad. The
section is settled largely by farmers OF
German descent, who are honest and law
abiding. Someone among them, they
think, is criminal. but though they
have exhausted every resource, they new
er have been able to fastcn guilt upon
any man, or even to get convincing evi.
dence. Every Grand Jury for years has
tried to obtain evidence, but without
avail.
HARA:sED For 90 YEARS.
For twenty years the farmers have
been harassed by theft after theft; houses
and barns have been burned and stock
killed. These ontrages are not OF period
icai occurrence, but are continual, half a
dozen or more cases having been reported
recently.
Corn by the wagon load has been stolen
time and again from cribs aud fields
Wheat by the sackful and the wagonfu
has been stolen from graineries and
thrashing yards. Smokehouses havt
been robbed of meat in small and whole
sale quantities. Chickens and turkeys
by the dozen have slipped away from
their rightful owners, and yet the robbel
has left not trace behind.
Cattle and other live stock have beer
shot down in the woods in daylight. Cat
tie and horses have come from the pas
ture with their tails cut Oft close to the
body. A calf recently came up to the
barn from the pasture with its tongue Gu,
off. Much live stock has been similarly
mai;ned or killed in the last year.

FARMERS BARN DESTROYED.

A farmers barn, containing all hts hay
aud other feed, as well as many farming
implements, was burned to the ground
last Monday night and his telephone line
was put out of commission so that he
could not get aid from his neighbors.
Much merchandise has been found hid
den In the woods by farmers of the local
ity Recently gfaphaphone, new from
a store, was found by hunters hidden in
a tree top, far from any residence. In
a hollow log was found some horse blank
cts and fly rets "a another place, at
another slime, the,e was found some new
harness, robes and blankets.
We clip the above libelous and
abusive article from the st. Louis Re-
public of Jany. srss. II partly true
the exaggeration makes Il infamous, a
thousand times infamous il false. 1t
bears the ncar-earmarks of a scurril-
Gus article that appeared in the Globe
Democrat year or so ago in regard
to Camden County. 1t may be that
the skunk that slandered Camden
County has moved over into Morgan
1t begins to smell that way.
While there may be some slight
foundation for some of the minor
crimes, chicken stealing, ETC., such
as can be found in every county in
the State, yet the citizens of Morgan
County are as peaceable, quiet and
law-abiding a people as can be found
anywhere on earth. Our courts have
very little business, especially criminA
al business, before them, If such q
saturnalia of cinic as ,iescii6ed above
had been going on for the past twenty
years some of our home people would
have heard of it, some of our ener~
getic officials would long ago have
caught the scoundrel, and justice
wovld have been given him in full,
measure. Now II the writer of this
article is half as well posted as read
er would infer, and he is halfway
/ honest, he will communicate with
Prosecuting Attorney Livcsay and
Sheriff Goodman, and we will guar
antcc it won't take them twenty years
to catch the criminal. Why, if half
the story was true, it would be neces-
sary to call out the State militia, or
divide Morgan County up and attach
it to the surrounding counties for the
purpose of law enforcement.
Notwithstanding the scurrilous ex-
aggeration of the ST. Louis Republic
and its ghoulish correspondent, Nor
gan County continues to be the best
county in the Imperial State, with its
rich sweeping prairies in the north
h ilf, and its splendidly timbered hills
> and valleys in the south half, and
holds its own as the peer of any, and
here people from every land are well
E coined, and their lives and property
I are as secure as can be found any
where. and much more SO than in
. St. Louis.

I The officers will be chosen at the
first meeting OF ;he board of directors.
This is in accordance with plans
that were laid about one year ago to
enlarge the scope and to increase
the usefulness Of the hospital. Prior
10 that time, Dir. +. A. Wood con-
Quoted the hospital on private basis,
permitting other physicians to bring
their patients to it. This plan proved
to be unsatisfactory, and after the
fire, in December, 1908, he was
asked by the physicians of the town
80 make public hospital out of it.
Dr. Wood readily consented to
this, but it developed that the neces-
sary amount Of money could not be
raised and the proposition fell
thrA Auch however. several of the ply
sic2ans solicited and were given an
Interest in the hospital, and since
!sune L. 1909. only these physicians
have patronized it.
( This latter plan having worked SO
well, and With much more profit than
under its former mode Of manage
mcnt, a good many OF the most prom
inent business men of Sedalia have
secured stock and are determined
10 aid in establishing the haywood
on larger and frmcr basis, SO that
the city OF Sedalia will be assured of
a needed and of permanent institu-
ton: one that is a credit, not alone
to our city, but to all Central Mis-
souri,.
in this new arrangement, any doc
toy in Sedalia, Pettis or surrounding
counties may become interested and
secure the benefits OF the hospital.
The hospital has been greatly i'm
! proved during the past year. having
new operating rooms, new sterilizers,
new elevator, new bath and toilet
rooms and new frescoing.
The results accomplished under
the present plan for the past seven
months could not have been better.
From June /, 1908, to December 81,
1909; there were I4o patients in the
hospital; rs for medical treatment,
and 65 surgical cases. There were
no deaths from surgical cases, nc
deaths from any acute illness and bu
few from chronic diseases.
Many of our business men have
contracted for stock as soon as the
incorporation is completed, but only
the names OF directors appear on the
article of incorporation.
