number Of years, the property hav-
ing recently been sold to MIR. J. {.

The difficulty of securing "A suitable
building for the plant has caused
the manager, Mr.. John Doughty, ia
consider proposition OF the Bonne
Terre Booster Club To move the
plant to that place. They make
some tempting offers, and there Is a
possibility Of the plant being moved
over there. The people Of Farming

ST FRANCOIS HOTEL
TEMPORARILY CLOSED

The guests Of the St. Francois Ho-
tel this morning faced the dilemma
that no breakfast was to be served,
and they had to hustle for their ma
tutinal meal elsewhere. Mr.. Mo-
land says he will not serve any
more meals, but will furnish rooms
until hr vacates under arragrmcnts
now in progress.
It seems that when MIR. holland
took charge of the hotel in order to
furnish il he gave "A mortgage on
the furniture to the st. Francois
Hotel Association, the payments on
which he was not able to meet as
they fell due, and his sons, II. &.
and r.. T. Nolapd Jr., took up the
mortgage. MIR. holland has been
falling behind, and yesterday the
mortgage was fOreclosed and the
furniture is advertised in The Times
to-day to be sold on June 3Oth.
The Hotel Association, which
owns the building, has been nego'
tiatiug the past week with Mr., Rob
ert Reeves Of Elvins to lease the
hotel tu him, and we understand the
deal Is about closed. He is To re-
furnish it throughout with new
furniture and conduct the hostclrS
in first class style, but this canno
be done until after the Both of Jun"
and II may probably be scN"ra
week. after that date before the h"
tel will again be- in running order.
The st Francois j. Pennington
largest hotel, and the unfortunat
situation that now coufronts it vii
render the hotel accommodation Il
our town rather u"agrr tor a shor
time.
