About twelve months after the In
terrupted festivities at Daisy Villa,
that particular neighborhood was
again the scene OF some rejoicing.
Standing before the residence of Mr.
Barnes were three carriages. drawn
In each case by pair of gray horses.
The coachmen and their steeds we're
similarly adorned with white rosettes.
1t would have been an insult to the
intelligence of the most youthful OF
the loungers-by to have informed them
that wedding WAS projected.
At the neighboring church all was
ready. The clerk stood at the door.
the red drugget was down, the usual
little crowd were standing all agog
upon the pavement There was one
unusual feature of the proceedings:
Instead OF solitary policeman, there
were at least a dozen who kept clear
the entrance to the church Their
presence greatly puzzled a little old
gentleman who had Joined the throng
OF sightseers. He pushed himself to
the from and touched one OF them
upon the shoulder.

tell me why there are so many of you

OIL STRUCK
NEAR DES MONIES
Great Excitement Caused by the Re-
port From Altoona on
Christmas Eve,

Oil has been struck in the vicinity
OF Des Moines, II the reports coming
from Altoona are to be relied upon.
Des Moines paper says:
It is probable that in the course of
the next few weeks the place will be
the scene OF busy activity as pros
pectors swarm in and around the VII
lage perforating the earth with holes
in quest of the liquid and fortune.
The oil leaked out of the earth at
Altoona on Christmas eve, coming as
a sort Of Christmas present for its
finder. The story OF the find leaked
Tuesday and reads like page from
some romantic story of adventure.
The rich discovery was made in the
we'll under the store of the Porter
Hardware company. of which ]. w.
Porter is manager The find was
made on the night of Dec. "a.
One of the employees of the store
went to draw bucket of water from
the pump that stands in one corner
of the storeroom. The well is under
the floor OF the building and enclosed
When the employe began to work
the pump handle he was surprised to
discover no water would flow.
Suddenly there was a suffering
sound coming from the vitals OF the
machine and in the next instant
stream of foam poured from the spout.
The liquid caught in the bucket was
carried to the light 1t had a peculiar
look and smell. One of the curious
who had gathered around when the
/ employe brought the bucket in. tasted
it. The faster suddenly emptied his
mouth and gave shout that 1t was
lie pure 'sile." Some of the stuff
lighted with match proved 1t.
For the next hour excitement ran
high in the village and strong armed
men were kept busy at the pump
handle with the result that barrels of
the liquid were pumped out.
1T is certainly OIL said ]. w.
Parker. manager of the store. yester-
day. That is. it runs about halt and

being in the water. for the we'll is en-
tirely enclosed and there is no chance
of oil being poured into the well No
Oil has been spilled here in years"
Mr.. Parker stated the well is dug
well and about fifty feet deep. II the
well is sure enough oil well-well,

FOUR ARE INJURED
Bridge Gang From LacIede Met With
Catastrophe Which Cast Gloom
Over the Entire
Community

Near Unionville, Mo-. yesterday
morning, two men we're instantly
killed and four seriously injured by
the falling Of boom" at the Black
bird bridge The Journal issued an
extra which describes the catas-
trophe as follows:
The Dead
VIM. Woods. bridge foreman, lived
at Laclede, married.
Eb Phillips. byidgeman, lived at
Iaclede, married
The Injured.
Chas Barnhart, bridgeman, Sumner,
single, leg broken, shoulder hurt.
Sam Tapscott, bridgeman. Laclede,
married. hurt internally.
VIM. Matsel, bridgeman, Laclede,
married, hurt internally.
Delbert McKisson, bridgeman, La
clede, married, hurt internally.
AT 0:30 Tuesday morning, by the
falling of boom. two men were in
stantly killed and four more were
injured, one of them SO badly that
he probably cannot recover.
The bridge gang from Laclede,
headed by Foreman VIM Woods, was
ordered here to meet the work train
and assist with some work at the
Blackbird bridge, three and one-half
miles north of UnionviIle.
They arrived on the stock train at
7:2o, coming here from Browning.
and met the work train at Rowland,
the first station north.
When No. 10 came along, the work
train side tracked at Blackbird
switch. and then pulled out on the
main line. and started for the point
where the work was being done.s
AS the. train passed over the
bridge. the boom struck some over
head timber. strained at the ropes,
and when few rods beyond the
bridge, fell, crushing the men, who
We're sitting on the fat car.
Vim. Moods, the foreman. was
killed almost instantly. his head be-
ing badly crushed, and one leg so
badly mutilated that the shin bone
protruded through the flesh.
Eb Phillips lived long enough
that the train arrived at the Union
vile depot before he died.
The train was brought to town as
quickly as possible, arriving here
within 10 or 30 minutes after the ac-
cident, and every available physician
in town was called at once to the
station TO render all possible aid
VIM Matsel was the most seriously
injured, apparently, of the four men
who were hurt, being crushed and
suffering internal injury
Sam Tapscott was quite seriously
injured, being apparently dazed He
was probably hurt internally by be-
ing crushed by the falling boom"
Chas. Barnhart had his left leg
broken below the knee, and was
badly bruised about the right should
err
Delbert McKlsson suffered most
from bruises about his shoulder and
the back of his neck.
The injured men were taken into
the waiting room at the station, and
given what treatment was possible
there, when cots were secured and
they we're removed to the Commercial
Hotel
The bodies of the two dead men
were removed 70 the Wentworth

The accident is one of the most
appalling that has ever happened in
this section and has caused gloom
to spread over the entire community.

DEGENERACY OF BURGLARY
Art of other Days Reduced to the
PlebeiRn Level of Bed
Stealing,

The burglar in the long ago farce, who
annexed a red-hot stove, fire, and all, is
at his old tricks. He has just visited a
North Side home in Pittsburg, where he
has stolen a bedstead with the springs, five
pillows, two blankets, a bedspread, and a
baby's cradle. If there had been a baby
in the cradle he probably would have taken
1t too.
This is reducing the science OF house
breaking to a merely utilitaran level that
all true connoisseurs should protest against.
To steal a Gainsborough portrait or a
Gainsborough hat may be excused as a
vagary Of the artistic temperament OF the
desperate act of an impecunious husband.
To steal a bedstead is almost as unpardon-
able as to steal a loaf Of bread. What does
a burglar want with a bed, anyway He
is supposed to be up and doing at the time
when that article Of furniture is in use.
He cannot afford to let golden opportunl-
ties go by while INDUCING himself in sloth-
full slmuber. No wide-awake burglar has
any use for a bed, or pillows, or blankets.
Still worse is the purlolning OF a cradle.
What possible use has a live burglar for a
cradle? Almost any other piece Of furni-
ture would be Of more service in his bust
ness. A stepladder or a piano lamp might
do him some good. A manicure set might
serve to pick locks or stab meddlesome
watchmen. But a cradlel The house
breaker h is grooming a gentle lullaby
when he ought to be OUT with Jimmy and
dark-lantern deserves to be summary eN-
PEELED from the ancient and honorable guild.
1t is to be feared that tho noble pro-
fession OF burglary is degeneratlng. It's
palmy days are past. The bright luminaries
that adorned its roster In olden days have
taken to other pursuits where they can get
the public's money easier, This explains
why the cost OF living is so high. Those
who will linger in the unremuneratiye and
d~espised vocation are the parlahs who
would stoop 10 anything. Even they seem
to be on the verge Of abandoning their evil
ways. The burglar who would steal a bed
stead has clearly made up his mind to re-
