LARGE CROWDS AT
REYNO CELEBRATION

one OIL the incest and best az
ranged picnics we have had the
pleasure of attending for, several
years was that given by the commit
tee of citizens of Reyno, assisted by
Sam Bowman and Bob Stackhouse
last Friday and Saturday. The
weather was fine and it seemed that
everyone present had come to enjoy
the festivities of the days to the
fullest extent. The citizens of the
town had thrown open their hospi-
tallties to visitors from over the
country and everybody was made TO
feel at home. However this is no
more than is always the case with
the good people of that town. The
spirit of friendliness and good fel-
lowship is always extended to all
visitors on all occasions.
1t was not our pleasure to be pres
ent on Friday, but the report is
that many people were and a large
number camped over night in order
to be on hand early and enjoy the
big day Saturday.
The local freight, which was
equipped with two extra coaches for
the occasion, took one hundred and
sixty persons out of Pocahontas
Saturday morning and almost that
many more were taken on at Big
gers, and by the time the train
reached Reyno standing room was
at premium.
We found large crowd already
on the grounds and people coming
IN from every direction on horse
back, In wagons, in buggies and on
foot. Before noon 1t was estimated
that fully five thousand people were
on the grounds. Ample provisions
had been made for the accommoda.
tlsn of the large crowd and if any.
body went away dissatisfied we fail
ed TO hear of it. The attractions
were many and varied, there being
no less than thirty refreshment and

between the Fats of Reyno and the
Fats of Pocahontas nine big men
on each side, the combined weight
of both teams, Is men, being 1850
pounds. 1t was a sight to see those
baby elephants out there swelterlng
in the rays of that hot July sun,
each side working with might and
main to win the victory, The
crowd surrounded the diamond each
one trying to gain a point from
which every feature of the game
could be witnessed, and cheering
vociferously whenever one of the
big men would pull off an extraordl-
nary stunt. At the close of the 18th
inning the game was called and the
score keepers announced that the
game mad been won by Pocahontas,

had the most money coming to them
after the weeks supply of groceries
had been bought. 1t is surprising
how much of the goods that 90 out

sale of produce. Hardly a customer
dug down in his pocketbook for
money; instead, the groceryman
opened his cash drawer and paid the
customer some difference, the sale of
eggs, butter or butter fat having
amounted to more than the grocery
order. A few years ago this was notso.

The Frisco Agricul.
tural Scholarships.

The generous offer of the Frisco
Railroad of forty-five scholarships of
500 each to the short winter course
in agriculture at the University of
Missouri, next winter affords a rare
opportunity for the people living in
the Frisco territory to secure much
valuable instruction in agriculture at
the Agricultural College without any
cost to them whatever. The Frisco
proposes to award one of these schol-
arships in each county in Missouri
through which their lines extend to
the man or boy between eighteen and
forty who grows and exhibits the best
ten ears OF corn in his county this
year. These scholarships will pay
the entire necessary expense includ-
ing railroad fare, of the winner for
the full term of fourteen weeks be-
ginning November LIST, 1910.
The short winter course teaches
men and boys how to farm better.
Practical instruction is given in soil
fertility, farm crops, animal breeding,
stock Judging, veterinary science,
feeding of livestock, dairying, horti-
culture, farm buildings, machinery,
farming and other lines of
farm work. You will gain much
valuable information that you can
put into practice every day on the
farm; information that not only will
be of value to you but to your neigh
bors as well by observation of your
results. The Frisco Railroad after
investigating the work done
at the Agricultural College believes it
can we'll afford to send farmers along
its lines to the college to make care

HEED THE WARNING.
Many Butler People Have Done SO.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign Of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved. Sick
kidneys expel a dark, ill-smelling
urine full of "brickdust" sediment
and painful in passage. Sluggish
kidneys cause a dull pain in the small
of the back, headaches, dizzy spells,
tired, languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only; they cure sick kidneys,
and rid the blood of uric poison. If
you suffer from any of the above
symptoms you can use no better rem
edy.
Butler people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. H. H. Wells, 800 E. Dakota
St., Butler, Mo-, says: II gladly

PASTOR SIGHS IN RELIEF AS
TWIN BRIDAL TWINS GO.
Tabler Boys of Adrian, Missouri and
Moore Girls of Texas Puzzle Him
as He Marries Them.

San Marcos, Tex, June 1O.--Leland
and Lorand Tabler, the famous
Adrian, Mo-, twins, departed this
afternoon, accompanied by their twin
wives, who were the Misses Alma and
Alta Moore.
1t is no discourtesy to the happy
young persons to say that the Rev.
Cullom H. Booth, half a dozen hotel
clerks and all of the employees at the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas station here
heaved signs of relief when the train
pulled out.
DR.. Booth, who had performed the
wedding ceremony, was so puzzled
while tying the matrimonial knots
that he had to refer to the licenses
several times and ask all of the prin-
cipals to identify themselves.
He could not tell Leland Tabler
from Lorand because they were
dressed alike, even to their tie pins
and their pearl gray gloves. 1t was
equally difficult to distinguish Alma
Moore from Alta, except that Alma's
bridal bouquet was white, while Atlas
was pale pink. Under the lights both
seemed to be the same color.
Each bride wore a gray travelling
dress of exactly the same cut, with
the same number of buttons, and
their big picture hats were identical.
The twin couples created a sensa-
ton when they boarded the train.
Leland and Lorand Tabler are part
ners in the hardware business at
Adrian, Mo. Their facial resemblance
is complete and their measurements
are such that from hat to shoes they
wear garments of the same size.

such small details as latchkeys.

Carrie Nation Dies of Paresis il
Sanitarium.

Sanitarium.
Leavenworth, Kas., June 9.-Car-
rie Nation, the Kansas saloon smasher,
died here tonight at 7:05 o'clock.
Paresis was the cause of death.
For several months Mrs. Nation had
been in poor health, and on January
% she entered the local sanitarium,
hoping to recover from a nervous
breakdown.
1t became evident several days ago
that Mrs. Nation could not recover
and Doctor A. l.. Suwaisky, physician
at the sanitarium, informed her that
the end was near.
She said nothing but smiled. She
became unconscious at noon to-day
and did not revive. Relatives had
been telegraphed for, but only Doc
tor Suwalsky and a nurse were at her
bedside when she died.
Worry over lawsuits, which she
had brought against a lecture bureau,
for alleged failure to pay for services
on the platform, is said to have caused
her to break down. While Mrs.
Nation was in the sanitarium, none
but relatives were allowed to visit |
her. She was not permitted even to
read letters, as doctors feared that
they might contain some hint of the
pending suits.

Out of 80 in the Party, Only Two Els
capped Injury or Death-Six of Dead
Found on Engine Pilot-Train Going

Scene of Previous Killing.

Neenah, Wis.-Twelve persons were
instantly killed, one was so severely in
jured that she died later, and three
were dangerously hurt when a fast Chi
cago & Northwestern train struck
hayrack loaded with 80 persons, Sun.
day. Five other members of the party
were badly hurt.
The party was returning from wed
ding anniversary at the farm of Peter
Z. Hanson, near here. All the victims
but two lived in Meanasha, Wis.
Among the occupants of the hayrack
who escaped were Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Brizinski and child of years. They
were seated in the front half of the
rack, the mother holding the child in
her lap. About half way back in the
wagon sat Mary Schartzbauer. The
latter was hurled about so feet and
rendered unconscious. When found by
rescuers the Brizinski child was in her
arms unscratched. The parents of the
child were slightly hurt.
Peter Hanson, driver of the wagon.
managed to hang to the reins and was
the only person in the party who was
not stunned by the collision. A bill.
board prevented him from hearing the
on-rushing train until his team had
reached the track. He whipped up the
horses, but the wagon was only half
way across when the crash came.
Mr.. Hanson had taken the merry
makers to his farm in the early eve
ming and had taken them back within
mile of their homes when the collision
occurred.
Six of the dead were found on tbe
engine pilot. Two others were hurled
through the fagman s shanty with such
force as to overturn the little structure.
One of these, young woman, though
hurled through wall of the house. was
alive when rescued. She died a few
hours later. Another victim was thrown
over barn so feet from the. railway
right of way. In the last eight years
nearly two dozen persons have lost their
lives at this crossing where this acct
dent occurred.
