A proposition to purchase a fire
engine for the valley is being dis
cussed. 1t is said that a chemical
engine which will have the
efficiency of $4,000 buckets of
water can be purchased for S175.
The engine can be recharged at
the cost of one dollar in one min
ute. We need some fire defense;
of this there is no question. Prac-
ticability is the thing to be con-
sidered. No use getting a ma
chine or engine that can not be
manipulated.
Mrs. Grace Falte, a Murdook-
Crumb purchaser from Chicago,
arrived last Wednesday and ex-
poets to make her home here in
the future. We bid her welcome
and trust she may be most sue
cessful. Mrs. Falte says when
she left Chicago Tuesday night of
last week there were ten inches of
snow on the ground. There
wasn't a trace of snow when
she reached here Wednesday.
So, there are places where they
have had more snow than we
have. Mrs. Falte says the winter
in Chicago has been most severe.
William Cain, for many years
an Iron Mountain conductor, died
in St. Louis Tuesday after he had

for years, but of late years was
living in Potosi, where he was
conductor on the Potosi branch.

hind many friends. Funeral SER

services.-De Soto Republican.
Although the weather was very
inclement a large number of ladies
attended the Easter Opening at
the Woodside Style Shop last
Thursday. And the many beau
tiful things there to behold more

had spared no pains in arranging
the exhibits and displays and ev-
erything new in millinery was
there in profusion and most ex-
quisite taste The Quality Shops

fully sustained on this occasion,

evident in every millinery crea-
alton.

The talk al very interesting and
some having lived here at the
time of the civil war were induced
to relate some of their experiences
during that period. Mrs. Kindell
served delicious refreshments

pudding made last Christmas and
kept for this occasion. Miss Bes-
sic Hotson furnished some good

G. w. Tetwiler and daughters
left Monday evening on their re-
turn trip to Missouri. They went
north Tuesday morning from Los
Angeles; after making a short Wis

head for Denver, Colorado; thence
on to Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Pre-
vious to leaving that place in jan

had agreed to return and super
intend the construction of a large
business block and a number of
flats, the cost of which will be
some $4,000. The intention was
to leave the family here while he
alone returned to Poplar Bluff to
look after the work. The sudden
death a few days before the time

after the household goods had
been loaded on the cars caused a
change in these plans, the girls
