One Person Killed and Five In
iured-Baby Not Hurt.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May GA
little boy threw a fire cracker into
100 pounds of dynamite here today.
AS result one man will die and
five persons are injured. Cecil
Moore, three years old, caused the
explosion. While playing in front
of his fathers store he threw a
lighted fire cracker under the front
porch of the building. Some work
men had stored the dynamite under
the porch and in a few seconds a
terrific explosion occurred.
Marshal Stone, who was standing
in the street near the dynamite, was
fatally injured. John Sinder and
William Menteer were thrown 80
feet and landed hurt. Mrs. Ernest
Overstreet and Miss Elsie Wagner,
who were walking along a sidewalk
a block from the store were hurled
to the ground and slightly injured.
George Moore, father of the child,
was cut by flying glass and timbers
from the store, which was almost
totally wrecked.
After the explosion the boy was
found unhurt.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
SOUTH INVADED
May n, 1861, Federal Troops Were
Hurried Before Washington Be-
cause of the Advance of the
Confederate Army.

Washington, May 24.-Today is the
flftieth anniversary of the invasion
of the South which marked the real
beginning Of the war. Prior to May
%, 1864, the Union forces that had
FASTENED to Washington in response
to the call Of President Lincoln were
held on the north side of the Poto-
mac. With the approach of the
Confederates toward Washington,
however, it was decided that action
had become necessary, and in the
early morning hours of May 24 three
columns crossed the river and cs-
tablished a line from Alexandria to
the chain bridge above Washington.
For a month no further advance
was made by the Northern troops,
and it was not until July that the
soldiers OF the North and South en-
gagged in their first death grapple.

Atlanta, Ca, May 2.--Charles w.
Morse, in the federal prison here,
has been notified of the presidents
adverse decision in his case. Al
though no interviews were allowed
by the prison authorities, it is
learned that Morse is deeply
crushed over the refusal Of the

j. II. Donovan and Family Here
From Iowa-Bring Good Stock.

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. II. Donovan of
Des Moines, Iowa, accompanied by
their three children, Carl, James
and Mary, arrived in Mena last
week. They have their household
goods with them and will make
their home on a high and pictur-

chased a few months ago by Mr..
Donovan two miles west of town.
Mr.. Donovan for years has been
The proprietor of the Model Shoe
Store Of Des Moines, but on account
of asthma he was compelled to
give up his business. He came to
Mena last winter and found almost
immediate relief and began plan
ming TO make his home here. He
left Mena a couple OF months ago
to arrange his affairs there, and
has been troubled with asthma
again, until this week, in the
pure mountain air of Mena, he
found relief and was able to be out
riding on top of a wagon load of
fine registered Jersey Duroc hogs
which he had shipped from Iowa
to stock his country place.
Mr.. Donovans children have a
new pet that is attracting attention.
One of pair OF Shetland ponies
they brought with them has a colt,
born the day before the car left
Iowa. The tiny little fellow stood
the trip fine, and with its mother is
being kept at the Randolph livery

OF All Canines-Only Way to
Put an End to Rabies.

Kansas City, Kas., May 2i.-This,
the largest city in the world with
out saloon, besides being saloon
less is to be dogless, if an ordinance
now being prepared by Henry II.
Dean, commissioner OF parks and
public property, receives favorable
action from a majority of the city
commission.
The proposed ordinance will
supercede all ninely-day muzzle
proclamations, and every dog, be he
muzzled or unmuzzled, long tailed
or short, flea-bitten or sleek. pedi-
greed or without family history.
savage or loving, must bite the dust
or be deported from the confines of
The Kansas metropolis.
Owners OF dogs will be given am
pie time to dispose of their pets by
selling them or sending them to the
country but the ordinance is to be
a hlde-bound, water-tight, iron-clad
rule that will permit of no excep-
tons. The woman who attempts
to keep her lapdog, or the sports
man who keeps a pack of hunting
hounds will be in the same boat
with the urchin who harbors flea
bitten cur.
Not Dog Halter.
Commissioner Dean does not hold
and special spite for any particular
dog, or for dogs in general, as some
dog fanciers may think; in fact, he
was born in the Blue Grass state.
where in the past d man, a rifle and
a dog were inseparable, but he is
thinking of making Kansas City,
kas, safe place for women and
children.
Rabies scares have been frequent
in Kansas City, Kas., for many
years. Proclamati0ns declaring
death to unmuzzled dogs have been
issued; pasteur treatments have
been given, and numbers of dogs
have been shot, but the scares do
not stop. lnlS movement may
be unpopular, but I'm going to fight
for it," Mr.. Dean said yesterday.
1T may step on lots of toes, but it's
my honest opinion that it's the only
cure for the evil of rabies. The
United States Supreme Court has
held that dogs are under the abso-
lutte control Of the police powers of
the city, and we won't buck up
against any litigation in enforcing
the ordinance if it's enacted.
"A muzzled dog is not safe from
rabies, anyway. Even though muz-
zled he stands just as good a show
of being bitten by a rabid dog as
not. And later, when unmuzzled at
home he may inflict the infection
on some of the home folks. There's
a danger, too, to pedestrians if the
order to shoot unmuzzled dogs is
carried into effect, A bullet aimed
at a running dog does not always
find its mark. am for making
Kansas City, Kas., 'dogless' as we'll

w. Luscher, superintendent of the
general hospital, proved to the sat-
isfaction of the hospital and health
board that there was urgent need
for Mayor Browns proclamation
requiring dogs to be muzzled or
confined for thirty days, and said
there is increasing need for the en-
forcement of the order.

Mr.. Sangster took the position that
If congress had right to establish
an it-pound limit, it could extend
the limit until all freights would be
handled by the postal service and
condition similar to that in England
where the small town merchant had
been done away with, would pre-
vail. IF the hard-earned money is
sent direct to the producer what will
become of the commercial life of the
outlying communities and land val
uesY" he asked in closing his crit
icism.
Mr.. Lawson said 80 per cent of the
business Of the catalogue houses
came from the women, who were
caught by a picture and a descrip-
ton they do not understand and
they bought TO very large extent
the goods on which the merchants
made the most profit, because they
cost thin the most to carry. A par
GELS post would force the travelling
salesman from the road, close the
stores OF the small towns and force
the storekeepers back to the land
for a living.

They have none,' the speaker re-
piled. when the government made
an express carrier of the postal SER
vice, the merchants in the country
towns moved to London or went out
of business. They have a few gro
Gerry stores and candy stores in the
suburban towns and that is about
all. The people either go to Lon

chases for them"
An Expert OIL Advertising.
There is no outlay in wholesale
retail or manufacturing business
that pays so large return as ad-
vertising. It is an investment pure
and simple" said M. B. Becker, adj
vertising manager for the Boston
Store.
THAT the very best advertising in
vetsment is in newspapers no one
can dispute. The country news
paper is handicapped by the patent
insides, and when that kind of
medium is the only one open to
merchant a campaign with hand
bills could be carried on probably.
Put on sales and do things while the
other fellows are taking things easy,
you want the quickest and best re-
suits from advertising"
Mr.. Becker said the Boston Store
relied upon the newspapers for
nine-tenths of the results attained
from advertising, and had elimina-
ted most other kinds. Programs, he
declared, were absolutely worthless,
and while some of the causes were
worthy, it was cheapest and best to
make them a donation as charity,
rather than take space in them. He
held much the same opinion OF bill
boards. Display advertising brought
better results than readers. Having
the right thing in an ad was worth
twice as much as the space, and ads
should be prepared with care.
mo matter what kind of business
a man is in, he can't get along with
out advertising" said Mr.. Becker on
closing.

KENNEWICk THE
JUNCTION POINT
Great State Highways Will Con.
verge at This City---Means
Wagon Bridge Sure.

kennewick is officially named as
the junction point of the two great
east-to-west state highways by the
state highway department.
That this fact will in time bring
the twin cities of Kennewick and
Pasco the needed state bridge is an
accepted fact with the roads and
bridges committees of both houses
OF the present legislature. 1t is
generally conceded that move to
this effect at the next session would
be successful.
The committee bill of the house
committee on roads and bridges
provides that Kennewick shall be
the junction of state roads 19 and s.
State road s is already laid out as
far as a point OF the Columbia river
directly south of Goldendale. A
state aid road connects Goldendale
with the main trunk highway.
The extension, therefore, begins
with the junction of the Goldendale
state aid road with the trunk line
nd goes through Kennewick and
Pasco, thence do vn to Walla Walla
to Pomeroy, thence easterly almost
to the Idaho lire so as to run
through Pullman and Palouse and
so on to Spokane.
The second trunk road, provided
for by the committee, accepting the
plans of the highway department,
begins at Ellensburg, runs south
easterly to North Yakima, then
through Union Gap ON the north
side of the Yakima river through
the towns of Donard and Beulah te
Zilla. The road is to follow the
north side of the Yakima to Gran.
ger and then runs east and south or
section lines through Out Look
Sunnyside and Grandview to Pros.
ser. From Prosser the road runs
direct to Kennewick and Pasco.
| The bill met with amendments ir
committee and was reported ou
promptly this week for action.
