parlors of the Congregational church
on Tuesday and Wednesday of

tastefully decorated and contained
many things we'll calculated to entice

Guiding souvenirs picked up by Elk.
Gov. and Mrs. G. H. Prouty in their
recent travels, proved very attractive.
Other booths for the sale of fancy
articles, domestic cooking, homemade
candy, lemonade and pop corn helped
to swell the revenues. One could get
his picture taken and have his fortune
told and could indulge in uncertainty
at the mystery booth. There was a
very good little ''show' in charge of
Miss Robinson and the quick lunch
was in operation during both days of
the fair. The chicken pie supper on
Wednesday night drew patronage of
more than $50. The net proceeds of
the fair were something more than
$235.

"a young Congressman who is
rapidly forging to the front in power

OF the 18th District OF Missouri. He
is clear headed, industrious and in
tensely earnest, and withal a cour-
teous, s0ciable gentleman who has
won the respect aud admiration of
his colleagues. Every one who has
become acquainted with him is fay-
urably impressed with his rugged

ties, and his praises are heard on
every hand. He Is member of
three important standing commit
tees, Labor, Naval Affairs and EN-
p"uditurcs In the Interior Depart

been felt in the deliberations uf all
three Of these bodies. He has served
as the head of subcommittee and
taken the lead in some important
Investigations and discussions. We
have personal knowledge of the
facts that no member of any Of
these committees stands higher with
the Chairman than Heasley. Al
though serving his first term, he
has made some telling speeches on

on Mr.. Roosevelt. He had charged
that when the latter was President
be had shielded the Harvester
Trust, the officers of which are now
supporting him, by refusal or fail
ure to institute proceedings against
that trust. Mr.. Roosevelt retorted
with the allegation that Mr.. Taft,
who was then his Secretary of War,
had approved his attitude toward
the Harvester Trust and even made
the motion in a Cabinet meeting
that there should be no immediate
prosecution. Mr.. Taft vigorously
denies the allegation. says he

proves by dates aud his movements
that he was in the Philippians or
