In the senatorial primary
James A. Reed was democratic
victor in the county and John c.
Mckinley was the Republican
choice, both by large votes.
Increased, but incomplete re-
turns from over the state show
that the entire Republican State
ticket has been elected by ma
jorities from 5000 to 10000.
The ticket will go to st. Louis,
in all probability, several thous-
and votes behind but the enor-
nous Republican vote in that
city will pull it through with

ich, Hays and SEWERS, but the
vote indicates the confidence
which the large majorities re-
pose in these gentlemen regard
less of what was said and done.
Aside from the county ticket
the proposition that received
next consideration was the Tenth
Constitutional Amendment pro-
hibiting the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors. In
every precinct in the county
workers for both sides were on
the scene and labored asidiously
until the curtain dropped at 600
p. m. The victory of the vets
was very decisive in this coun-
ty, the majority being 2016 in
their favor. The other amend
ments received very little con-
sideration and were voted for
and against, in many instances,
as was the voters desire in the
matter of the Tenth.
The Tenth Amendment re-
ceived a majority in only one
precinct-Oak Ridge-by 26
votes. Friedheim with a vote
of 1873 for and l against and Ap-
pleton 135 to 6 were the banner

The True Gentleman.

The following Characterization
of a true gentleman is clipped
from the Hardwood Record, a
lumber journal. and credit for it
is not given because the author
of it is not known.
The definition is most concise
and would furnish a splendid
code for mans life, that if he
lived up to, would make him a
good man and bless the world by
his having lived in it:
The man who is clean inside
and outside; who neither looks
up to the rich nor down on the
poor, who can loose without
squealing and win without boast
ing; who is considerate of wom-
en-, children and old people; who
is too sensible to loaf and too
honorable to lie; who takes his
share of this worlds goods and
let's others have theirs, is a true
gentleman"

GIRLS SLAYER SAYS
her MOTHER CAUSED IT

Martin Rollins, who shot and
killed Is year old Annie Austin
at Caruthersville last Monday
week, shot and killed himself
last Thursday in the barn of his
former employer, a short dis
lance from where he blotted out
the life of the schoolgirl of his
amour.
For three days Rollins led his
pursuers one of the most thrill
ing chases known in this section
of Missouri. Day and night he
was followed by bloodhounds
from Dyersberg, Tenn, accom-
panied by hundred armed men.
The chase led through almost in
accessible swamps, and always
the dogs was from three to six
hours behind the fugitive, who
was almost an iron man for en-
durance.
Rollins appeared at the home
of a Mr.. Maxwell. for whom he
previously worked. about IL a.
m. Thursday. He demanded
food, and it was given him. He
told his former employer he had
come home to die. Maxwell
gained the impression he pro-
posed to die fighting, and at the
first opportunity sent word to
Steele. Mo-, from which place a
posse started Immediately for
Maxwell's.
On arrival the man hunters
found Rollins had taken refuge
in the barn. When they began
closing in on him he shot him
self. Coroner Grove visited the
scene and conducted an inquest.
While Sheriff Franklin was
leading the posse through the
swamps along Little River, Rol-
Inns returned to Caruthersville
and passed Tuesday week night
at the home of, the sheriff. Be-
fore leaving he burned the off,
GERS barn.
Rollins is said to have killed
the girl because she refused to
elope with him.
Rollins sent the empty shells
with which he killed Miss Aus
tin to the girls mother to-day.
Accompanying them was a note
which read: Here are the
shells that killed your daughter.
and you are the cause of it. 1"
This message is said to have
been written by the fugitive
shortly before he burned the
barn of Sheriff Franklin.
The officials of Wickliffe, KY,
Rollins's former home, declare
he had the reputation of being a
dangerous man and was wanted
there on several charges. Threats
to lynch Rollins were made re-
peatedly, and his self-des.ruc-
tion in all probability prevented
it.

TAYLOR PRAISES auaaENHE1M

Congressman-atL Large Edward T.
Taylor of Glenwood Springs is staunch
Democrat and entirely too busy to act
As the press agent for Republican.
Yet he is not averse to giving credit
where credit belongs, no matter if his
statement may be misconstrued pOliti
cally. Congressman Taylor, who is
here to address the Sons of Colorado
today at their exercises commemorate
ing Colorado's admission to the Union,
was discussing the last session of con-
gress at the Shirley hotel last nigh,.
"You may state for me that Sena-
tor Guggenheim works for Colorado like
a beaver. He is on the job in the sen.
ate every minute and is known by his
colleagues as one of the hardest work
ing senators in Washington. Over in
the house i have occasion to handle
matters of legislation in which he is
interested. He is as solicitous in gain-
ing pension for a poor widow as he
is to attend important committee meet
ings, and his record at Washington
shows that he has got results. DEN
