Killing at HOlIister.

August Dorste, blacksmith at Hol'
lister, was stabbed and killed by Ed
ward Dickens, Of near Oasis, last Sat
urday during an alteration at Dorste's
shop. There have been several con-
flicting and very sensational stories set
aaoat in regard to the affair, most Of
which seem to have come from the
same source as the Branson fire stories
Of last week.
Dorste's wife, who had been ill for
some time, died Monday morning and
both bodies were shipped to St. Louis
for burial.
Dickens preliminary hearing has
not yet been held yet, and he still re-
mains in the city Jail at Branson, and
so far as we have been able TO learn
| from the sheriff and other officers there
has been no thought Of lynching or any
other trouble except in the minds oI
some misguided individuals who seem
to think it is smart to send out the i'm
preston that this county is filed with
outlaws. 1t is time this practice wa.
stopped, and it will be stopped very
summarily some Of these days in way
that will give some one something tc
think about and plenty Of time to dc
the thinking.

tirely friendly.
People who know how things are
situated in this section simply laugh,
or swear a little, as the case may be,
when they read one Of these stories,
and pay no attention to it, but people
who don't know take good deal Of
this particular brand OF hot air for his
tory and believe it. This country is
big enough and good enough TO hold
many more people than now live in it,
but people who are gotten here by
misrepresentation are not the ones who
are going to stay unless they are un-
able to get away, and if that kind stay
they are unable 10 do much for the de-
velopment Of the country. The sim
pie truth is good enough, and while
it may not put quite as many dollars
into some peoples pockets, it will be
infinitely better for the country.

Misrepresentation.

Apparently Springfield has some very
healthy aspirants for the honors OF
Annanias, who in his day was consid-
cred the champ of the windjammers,
but in these later years Others have
come to the front who could have Civ
en- the ancient gentlemen a handicap
of three quarters Of a mile and then
beaten him so bad that he would have
caught the flag on a mile race.
The story sent to the Kansas City
Journal on Friday Of last week in re
gard to the fire at Branson was about
the best-or worst example Of pure
ialsehood that We have ever seen in a
sheet that is supposed TO be a metro
politan newspaper. The Journal has
been for many years considered one
of the conservative newspapers OF the
state, but when they slop over to the
extent Of two-thiIds Of column with
scare heads on the first page, as they
did in this case, it can only mean that
the managing editor needs a guardian,
or that he was detained at home that
day and the Office boy put in his place.
In either instance, the paper loses.
The story sent out from Springfield
bears the earmarks Of one of the most
notorious preyaricaiors that this or any
other country ever produced, and while
it may possibly have some influence in
bolstering up his personal business, it
is detriment to the county as whole,
and while those OF US who live here
know the true condition OF things, it
is those who do not live here who get
the benefit OF this rot, and then when
they do learn how things are, not only
blame the author Of the false state
ments but also blame all the rest OF
the county. II the Springfield and
Kansas City papers would clean out
their news columns occasionally and
not turn them over to the windiammers
and gralters in exchange for little
whack at their pile through their ad-
vertising, they would have a much bet
ter standing with the people at large,
and particularly in this part Of the
country, where this thing crops out
every few days.

The Springfield Republican says that
the sheriff had heavy guard around
the Jail at Branson the other day 10
prevent a lynching, but the sheriff
says that as near as he could tell the
guard only weighed about us pounds
and did not begin to reach around the
Jail.
When John c. Mckinley was lieu
tenant governor and therefore presi-
dent Of the state senate he ruled over
the proceedings Of nine republican and
twenty FIVE democratic senators. The
democrats, true to their partisan in
stinct, did not permit him TO organize
the senlte committees. The constitu-
tion does not bestow that authority
upon the president Of the senate, hence
when a majority Of the senators are Of
opposite political faith they can pre-
vent the president from naming the
committees by electing president
pro tempore, who can make up the
committees.

Apportionment Will Be Made
Next Month By Supt. Wright
and Auditor General
EXCESS OF FUNDS ON HAND
Many Districts Forfeit Right to
Share in it Because of
This Fact

LANSING, Mich, June Sat the
session of 1911 the legislature passed
law preventing counties from shar.
ing in the apportionment of the pri.
mary school money, where there Is
an excess in the treasury insufficient
TO pay the expenses of the teachers
salaries for the ensuing two years,
and 1t also provides that there should
be but one apportionment, and that
should be made In July, instead Of
May and November. as has been the
custom heretofore.
In some of the school districts of
the state there Is surplus on hand at
the present time sufficient to pay the
salaries of the teachers for many
years to come, but under the new law
these counties will not share In the
spportionment which will be made by
Superintendent of Public Instruction
l.. L. Wright and Auditor General Full.
Ter next month.
Heretofore some OF the township
treasurers have Invested the surplus
of money In manner that has yielded
a fine income. However, the act
passed at the last session makes this
an impossibility. At the present time
II is impossible to determine what the
July apportionment will amount to per
capita. The total school census at the
present time is 7s2.727, while the num-
Der Of children who will share in the
July apportionment is 1854. The
