Do you remember the old days
when you used to 90 visiting in the
evening and the whole bunch of
you would gather around the cot
tage organ and sing?
OF course you do. And you re-
member the songs you used to sing
Darling Nellie Gray" Sweet
Belle Mahone," "Listento the Mock
ing Bird" old Kentucky Home"

Come Where the Lilies Bloom.
and all the rest of the sweet old
songs of those days.
How about it now? Different,
isn't it?
Now somebody sits down to the
piano and everybody sings 4 Wants
Nah Chicken" or Gimme Nah Pork
Chops Reglah," or Il Wants t Spoon
by the Light O the Moon," OF
"Whars Nah Honey Boy?" or some.
thing equally foolish.

some sweet-faced lass with nimblt
fingers plays "Maiden's Prayers" on
a cottage organ than to listen tC

old-fashioned, perhaps, but if it il

Macon. Mo-, June 20.-Clyde Will
son, 25 years old, pitcher of the
Macon Athletics, died at the resi-
dence of James H. Scrutchfield this
morning.
Wilson had been sick only six
days. He was not feeling well
when the game was played at
Moberly Sunday, June II. He had
been suffering from tonsilitis and
that last game, which the Macon
team won by a score of 6 to 0, end
ed Wilson's splendid baseball
career.
He came home ill and took to his
bed. The tonsilitis developed into
acute pneumonia. Special prayers
were offered for Wilson by all
churches last night.
A brother and two sisters were
with him at the end. The mother
is dead. Wilson lived in Illinois,
about twenty miles east of Hanni-
bal.

Centre Depot Burned.

The depot at Center, Rails county
burned to the ground Sunday after,
noon, the fire starting about 2
o'clock. There was heavy storm
at the time and it was due to
lightning that the building caught
fire. The electric current ran along
a telegraph wire and into the depot
and in a short time the contents
were ablaze. 1t was impossible to
save any of the papers or anything
else in the station. The wind blew
a gale for nearly two hours and the
heaviest rain of the season fell
The Short Line seems to be having
all kinds of trouble of late.-Han,

Pleasant, Profitable
The Meeting OF the Missouri Press
Association at Cape Girardeau.

Last year at fulton Col. Fred
Naeter representing the CONNER
cial Club and citizens of Cape Girar-
deau invited the Missouri Press AS
sociation to meet at the Cape in
1910. He promised to meet the
pencil pushers at ST. Louis and
many other features were also
promised but the live citizens of
the Southeast Missouri hub did far
more than they promised.
Wednesday morning of last week
about 300 of the press people
boarded the good Steamer Cape
Girardeau at St. Louis and the trip
down the father of waters was the
most pleasant ever made by the
members of the Press Association.
The dinner could not have been
better and the pleasant, courteous,
hearty welcome accorded by the
many citizens of Cape Girardeau
added greatly to the pleasure of the
trip.
] A hearty reception awaited us on
arrival at the Cape. All went to the
hotels assigned and they were good
ones. pleasant rooms and good feed,
was the rule.
| In the evening the first meeting
was held at the Normal and the
keys of the city were turned over
to the visitors.
Thursday was devoted to business
of the Association and the meeting
was a profitable one.
Friday a trip was made through
what is generally known as the
swamp country south of Cape
Girardeau. This trip was an eye
opener to the Missouri editors as
this territory is an empire within
itself. 1t is a land flowing with
milk and honey. No better soil can
be found anywhere on the globe
and the people are of the kind that
you are glad to meet and will al
ways be glad to have known.
The fish, frog leg and corn bread
dinner at Kennett was greatly en-
Ijoyed and E. P. CarutherS editor of
the Dunklin Democrat, the Com
mercial Club and the live citizens
of Kennett won the hearts of the
Editorial party.
For this trip the Frisco furnished
one of the best sclid steel trains in
America and the party was honor
ed by the presence of Vice-Presi-
dent Gray, Gen. Passenger Agent
Hilton and other officials of the
road. The press people were loud
in their praises of the Frisco.

year we're elected as follows:
President, j. R. Lowell, Democrat,
MOberly.
1St Vice President, E. L. Purcell,
DemOcrat-NewS, FrederiCktown.

Mangas Development company reports development work with the churn drills on the company's properties at Midway in the Burro mountains as progressing satisfactorily. The com pany has had much to contend with in their drilling owing to the character of the rock formation, but they have finally surmounted all difficulties and are making excellent progress. Two drills are at work in Emerald gulch and third one at Midway. Both drills in Emerald Gulch are in ore. The large star drill that was recently added to the outfit is going down at the rate of 60 to 100 feet day.

Consolidated PiOche at Work.

The Consolidated Pioche Mining company has work in full swing at No. l shaft, and the Thigh" line railroad has been kept busy during the week hauling ore and lumber up the hill from the Salt Lake Route depot. The engine was steamed up Monday, when the siren shrieked, giving notice that the company was ready to carry out the extensive campaign of exploration and development mapped out by the directors of the corporation sometime ago. MT. J. W. Carlton, who is in direct charge of the operation of the property, has force of sixteen men on the pay roll at the present time.
 The mine having been idle for a good many months, it was found nec- essary to repair the shaft, but yes terday morning, he had it in shape for operation and began hoisting the water which had accumulated to a depth of about 2 feet. As soon as it is bailed out, the shaft will be con- tinued on to the I2O0-foot level, from which point connection will be made with the old working of the Raymond & Ely mine.-Pioche Record.

that but limited depth is shown; in short, the ore that is yielding so heav- fly is practically taken from the grass roots region. In addition to the pleas ing condition, there is every indica- cation that the vein will continue in richness, the ore body being uniform with indications of holding out with depth.
 Advices from the miners working the property are also of an enthusias- tic description at the present depth, and the creation of another desert pro- ducer is the belief prevailing in the camp. The weather is reported very warm at the mine. but the work will continue uninterruptedly.-Journal- Miner.

Andrade Sells Rich Domain.

Alberto Andrade, the owner of a domain of Imperial size in Mexico, across the line from the Yuma valley and stretching southward to the Gulf of California, has sold two hundred thousand acres of his holdings to a German syndicate. The land sold lies just across the line from the Yuma valley, between the mesa and the river and is as line soil as the Yuma valley. The papers in connection with the sale have been signed and forty-five thou sand dollars of the purchase money has been paid through a Yuma bank and is now on deposit here.
 This German syndicate intend to colonise this land with two thousand German families. It is their intention to place it all under irrigation just as soon as the work can be done. It is not improbable that they will negoti- ate with the reclamation service for water from the Laguna dam.
 The title of this property has but re- gently been cleared up in the probate courts of the state of Sonora. The negotiations for the sale have been pending for months, but the consum- nation was delayed on account of the delay in the probate courts.
 This German syndicate expects to build railroad line from Yuma, pass ing through their land to the Gulf coast, terminating at some good har- bor. This work will be undertaken at once. Yuma will be the natural sup ply point for all this territory and the coming of the German emigrants means much to this town and valley. The development of the emigration scheme, the colonization of this great and fertile valley and the building of the railroad will be watched with in- terest by all on this side of the line Yuma Sun.

More Arizona Wonders.

Dr. J. w. Fewkes, of the Smith sonian Institute, returned on last Thursday evening from a trip POO miles to the Marshall Pass country ID Northern ArizJna after having been gone forty-five days. He was accom- panied by Mrs. Fewkes, Al Doyle and Robert Caring.
 Dr. Fewkes is the best authority on ancient ruins in the United States and has done more to protect them than any other person in the west.
 In describing the new wonders, Dr. Fewkes says they are among the larg- est and most perfectly preserved ruins of the ancient race in the southwest, and he estimates they are approxima- tely 800 years old.
 One mammoth cave has an opening of about 600 feet in front and extends back into the cliff about 100 feet or more. This cave contains from 75 to 100 rooms, all built of dobe brick. The brick are made of mud and straw and are about two feet long and four inches thick.
 Altogether over fourteen separate and distinct two-story houses of this kind, only one of which was built of rock.
 "The trip was the toughest one have ever taken during my work in the southwest" continued the doctor, land owing to lack of help I was unable to do more than build road to them over the Indian trail. Help from the Indians I was unable to se- cure, owing to their superstitious dread of what they call dead houses The country surrounding is exceed ingly rough, but well watered. There are some pine and fur scattered over the Mesas, and plenty of scrub cedar and juniper.
 'That whole section of the Navajo country has been set aside as a nation al monument by President Taft, pend ing the investigation, and as soon as possible I will make recommendation setting aside merely the ground cover ed by the different ruins.-Flagstat Sun.

The county will be formed from part of Graham on January l, when the off, cers elected in November will take their seats.
