That the Spring Opening at
Lopez Store Co.'s last Saturday
was largely attended needs not
assertion. The Openings at that
establishment for years have been
noted as far beyond similar dis
plays outside the larger cities. But
fine as were its predecessors this
springs showing was still better.
All the latest and fastest in mill
linery was on exhibition, and for
hours the throngs of ladies were
entertained by the visual feast
spread before their eyes and ap-
pealing to their sense of the beau
tiful and useful. When evening
came they reluctantly retired, each
bearing a beautiful souvenir,
though it was not needed to keep
the day in their remembrance.
The Spring Opening of 1911 was
success from start to fnish-and
then some.
In reference to the mandamus
suit against Reyburn and Jones in
the st. Louis Court of Appeals the
Globe Democrat of Tuesday con-
tanned the following: "Judge
Gays petition stated that while
the defendants offered to allow
him personally to inspect their
books, papers and records, they
would not allow his accountants
to do so, and asks that they be
compelled to. He was represented
yesterday by his attorney, James
A. Finch, of Fornfelt, Mo. The
return in the Jones case denies
that any demand was made. In
the Reyburn case it is stated that
he refused to allow the account
ants to examine the books for the
reason they are non-residents and
not taxpayers in the county, and
it is alleged they are not acting
for Judge Gay, but for Fuller
Swift and ]. M. Hays of the Audit
Bond Company of America, Third
National Bank Building st. Louis,
who are defendants in a libel suit
brought by Jones. Attorney Finch
filed a motion for a writ, notwith-
standing the returns. The ques-
ton to be decided this morning is
as to the appointment of a COM
missioner to take testimony" The
Court yesterday appointed P. w.
Haberman as such Commissioner.
A.. j. Zwart, of Pennington, is
making rapid Roadway with his
project to dam the White river
near Springfield, Mo-, by which
his company will secure immense
water power. The following item
concerning the enterprise appeared
in Thursdays Globe : Democrat:
"With half a million dollars of
st. Louis capital behind it's pro-
ject, the Ozark Water and Power
Company will next begin the task
of building a great dam across the
White river, near Hollister, pre-
paratory to utilize the power thus
generated for an immense electric
plant, which will provide light and
power to every town in Southwest
Missouri. 1t is declared that the
price can be made so low that even
local electric light and power
plants can better afford to deal
with the new company. The bill
permitting the corporation to dam
the river was passed by Congress-
and signed by the president only
a few days before the adjourn.
ment of that body, and immedi'
ately, the company began the
work of interesting capitalists ir
the plan. R. E. Morrison, of st
Louis, with A. j. Zwart, chief en-.
gineer, who conducted the negotia.
tions, were not long in securing
$3.50, 900, all of which is from St
Louis"
