Announcement was received
here Monday evening that Mr.. D.
B. Galloway had that day at noon
dropped dead while walking along
the street in Harviell, Butler conn
ty. Mr.. Galloway was for a num-
Der of years a resident of our city
and has travelled thr ough this sec
ton for some time as a represent
alive of a st. Louis meat house.
Early this year he moved to Fred
eticktown where he has been con-
Quoting the Madison House. He
was a most genial, jovial gentle-
man and we are sorry to hear of
his sudden end. To Mrs. Gallo
way-a most excellent and adj
mirable lady land the little
daughter we extend our assurance
of profound sympathy in their be-
reavement.
Effective July LIST, two new state
laws regarding justice courts are
to be observed by the local justices
of the peace. One section pro-
vides that all jurors summoned
on a case whether they serve or
not shall be allowed a fee of Is
cents. The constable and deputy
are instructed to make returns on
the entire twelve men served in
stead of the six men who make the
Jury. Another provision is that
all executions by a justice shall be
returned by the constable not
later than thirty days after being
served. Heretofore the officers
were allowed ninety days in which
to return the executions. These
two new laws are the most i'm
portant of the several affecting the
justice courts.
w. T. Gay Tuesday presented
to the County Court a copy of the
report made by A.. Schallenberger
and R. G. Ham, the two auditors
who recently examined the books
of the County Clerk and the
Treasurer. The report is a vol
luminous one and alleges that the
County Clerk is indebted to the
county in the sum of S658.65-
overcharge in fees and excess fees
not returned to the county. The
auditors also declare that County
Treasurer Jones is short in the
sum of S2971.05. AS stated the re-
port is long-being fifty pages or
more of typewriter matter-and
after having had an opportunity
to analyze it we shall probably
have something more to say about
it. The finding is not a surprise
as the auditors we're hired for a
purpose. But the report it seems
to us would have some more
weight if there was an affidavit to
support its statements. But there
is none.
The gamekeeper's lodge of the
Arcadia Country Club in Iron
County, Mo-, has been finished.
The building contains four rooms
and has a frontage of 36 feet. The
depth is 40 feet. It is on Pros
pect Point, one of the highest on
the clubs reservation of 5000 acres.
The structure is built of cobble-
stones gathered from the sur-
rounding property and of rough
shiplap. From the front porch one
can see eighteen miles down the
valley. John Fl. Curran, presi-
dent of the club, yesterday an
nounced the work on the dam
across Stout's Creek had been
started. This work will cost
S35, 900, according to the contract,
and will make a lake covering 300
acres. w. B. Ittner, former ar
chitect for the st. Louis Board of
Education, will start the construc-
ton of his bungalow this week.
Several other members already
have begun theirs.-& Louis Globe
Democrat.
0, the COW, the time-honored cow,
Patient and meek, and staid as a scoWl
How We shall miss thee by day and by night,
Legally hid as thou art from our sight!
Lowing,
Mooing,
Pining full sore
Hard is thy lot, and we "hoi!" thee no more.
o, the old days when the town was all new,
Easy and fair-when the laws they were few!
Then were the hog, horse and COW, in their
beats,
Free as the air to the sidewalks and streets
Roofing,
Running,
Spletching anon
Happy their lot in the daysnow agone!
Sweet were the nights in the good summer-
time,
Bright meath the moon as a new minted
dime
Bathing the world in its %silvery light,
But for the COW and her bell in their might
