Fleming and Mrs. II. 5. Meyers,
May We not have more visitors?
Eleven of the public school teach
ers have signlfed their intention of
attending the Southeast Missouri
Teachers Association at Cape Cir
ardeau this week. Several OF the
teachers of this neighborhood, in
Guiding some from our public school,
are on the program. 1t is estimated
that approximately one hundred
teachers from the county will be In
attendance.
The eighth grade room has the
best attendance for last week. The
seventh grade, room =, South Ward,
and room 1 of the North Ward, are
close followers. The ranking stands
99.4 per cent, $50 per cent, 49, per

der Is years of age to smoke cigar

punishable by fine. Good citizen.
ship requires that these laws be en-.
enforced. The use of cigarettes
especially, and tobacco In general,
are hindrances to school work.
Teachers are required to prohibit
the use of these In the school or on
the school grounds, and are fairly
well succeeding in this respect, but
We must have the combined assist
ance OF the home and public senti-
ment to be very effective. 1t will be
appreciated If the business men will
keep closer watch In regard to those
who are securing the cigarettes.
They can aid materially also by In
sisting upon new employees abstain.
ing from the use Of cigarettes, If
they are desirous of doing so. The
Superintendent will be glad to con-
tribute in any way in assisting In
either of the above suggested ef.
forts. Prospective employers may
have the school record of any pros
pective employe upon request.

FLAT RIVER PREsBYTE-
RIAN CHURCH DEDICATED

On last Sunday morning the new
Presbyterian church at Flat River
was dedicated with appropriate ex-
ercises. The other churches of that
community dismissed and united
with the Presbyterians in the dedi-
catory exercises and also some sixty
or more Presbyterians from Farmin-
gton attended.
Among the music numbers were
anthems rendered by the choir of
the local church and also by the
choir Of the Pennington church.
The dedication sermon was preach
cd Rev, G. +. Hickok, OF Farmin-
gtOn. Disclaiming chat any sect or
denomination had the exclusive
right to the title of the church of the
Living God or of Christ, he endea-
vored to show the marks of the true
church, basing his sermon upon the
first chapter of Paul's Epistle to the
CollosiaIs. His sermon was an
able and thoughtful presentation of
the subjuct.
Rev b. +. Fullerton, d. D., of st.
Louis made an excellent address in
which he expressed pleasure at the
cordial spirit existing between the
churches. He called for the report
OF the building committee which was
given by Mr.. Stewart, This showed
that the building, exclusive of the
lot, has cost about $1,000, and that
there was deficit of ~ 400 in the
treasury. DR.. Fullerton then pro-
ceeded to receive offerings to cover
this debt, and the responses were
generous. 1t was reduced to less
that 81 900.
DIR. Fullerton had charge of the
actual dedicatory ceremony, calling
upon DIR. Stophlet to offer the dedi-
catory prayer. The exercises closed
with the benediction.
The church is a handsome brick
structure, well arranged not only
for the regular church services but
also for Sunday school purposes,
having number OF separate class
rooms that can be thrown into the
main auditorium. 1t seats about |
six hundred, and Sunday morning |
1t was taxed to It's full capacity |
There is also provided basement
to be ased for social purposes.
The ladies Of the church served
luncheon to the visitors who had
come from distance.

Number a.
FIENDIsH CRIME BY
IRON COUNTY ToUGHs.

One of the most flendish, inhuman
and brutal assaults in the annals OF
crime was made by gang of Iron
county toughs last Saturday. A
young man and his wife, Thomas j.
Mullane and Mrs. lille Collinson
Mullane of Richmond, Va, were
roughlng 1t through the country for
the benefit of his health. They had
passed through Annapolis on their
way from St Louis to Poplar Bluff,
and were followed by IA gang of
toughs, who seized them and pinion-
ing the young husband and holding
revolver To his head, dragged his
young wife to the woods, within his
vision, and hrutually outraged her;
then dragged her to barn, while
she pittfully cried to her husband,
who was helplessly IN the power Of
two or three OF the gang, for help.
he finally succeeded in breaking
loose, and escaping shower Of bull
lots; ran to Annapolis, Il distance
of six miles, and to the Office of Jus
tice A. II. Johnson, where he gasped
out his heart rending story. The
Justice Immediately deputized sew
eral men who armed themselves and,
accompanied by the distracted hus-
band, hastened to the scene OF the
crime. They surrounded the barn
and hearing the poor woman's means
and the oaths of the men, they broke
open the door and rushed upon them.
Mrs. Mullane was unconscious AND
nearly dead and her clothing was
stripped from her body. There were
thirteen OF the gang. A number of
them escaped, but on Monday six
had been captured and IL is hoped
that all may yet be taken. Mrs.
Mullane is in most serious and de-
plorable condition, and she and her
husband, who is Frustrated by his
unhappy experience, are being cared
for by the good people of Annapolis.
The crime is capital one, and there
is no punishment too severe for
such fiendishness.

BUT THEY DIDN'T BREAK UP

Judge q. o. Nations, candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney on the
Bull Moose county ticket, addressed
IA large open-air crowd at Elvins last
Friday night. During the speaking a
cry of Fire! Fret rang out on the
ambient air, and two men were seen
standing on the roof of building
frantically waving their arms. The
crowd began to waver and start in
the direction Of the supposed fire,
but IL was soon discovered to be "A
fake alarm and they quieted down
while the Judge went on with his
speech.
When the crowd began to move ut
the first alarm, the two men quickly
disappeared from the roof and were
seen running toward the Office OF
Polite Elvins, Chairman of the
State Republican Committee, and
to enter It. City Marshal VIM.
Black followed them and found the
door locked. They refused his de-
mand to open the door, so he got

lation. They capitulated and were
locked up on charge Of attempting
to break up public meeting for an
hour or two to cool their partisan
ardor when they were released on
bonds of $500 each. The two too
perniciously active standpatters
proved to be Postmaster George

BOLTERS SHOULD BE BARRED

The following from the Pensacola
Journal is both truthful and timely:
Occasionally they do something in
Georgia worthy of emulation.
The democratic executive committee
put itself on record in this manner
few days ago. The committee adopted
a resolution that no voter at the cleo
tion this fall who does not cast his
n5ssfffoo -for-AAsop and Marshall shall
be entitled to vote in the democratic
primary two years hence.
No doubt this is a wise provision up
in Georgia In Florida, a similar po-
sition by the state committee would
be still wiser
In Florida 1t Is notorious fact that
in some cities and counties, the demo-
cratic primaries are practically dom1-
mated by republicans. The excuse for
allowing these men to vote has always
been that they are good citizens and
taxpayers, that there Is no republican
organization in the state worthy of the
name and that unless these republic
ans are allowed to vote in democratic
primaries, they can have no voice in
governmental affairs and are prac-
tically disfranchised. The evil has thus
gradually grown up within the party
that in some counties, the republicans
really named the candidates.
In one county the republican county
chairman Is said to have voted in the
democratic primaries and in that con-
gressional district a progressive dem
ocrat Is well known to have been de-
feated for the nomination for Congress
by republican votes
These republicans who voted in the
primaries last spring will vote for the
nominees for county offices they help
ed to name, at the November election,
il it suits their purpose. Otherwise
they will not.
There Is no doubt that hundreds of
these republicans who have been fiirt-
ing around with the democrats on pri-
mary days will vote for Taft this fall
Hundreds of othere will line up and
vote for Roosevelt.
No one objects to any of these good
citizens doing either of these things
Furthermore no protest will be raised
should any of them vote for Chain or
Debs or Dr. Mary Walker or Mary Ell
len Lease or any other person living
Of dead, for whom they desire to vote.
But there should be strong objections
to these republicans bull moosers, So
cialists, suffragetteS, etc, coming up
two years from now, with smiling
complacancy, claiming the right to
nominate democratic candidates for Of
flee
No better time than now can be
found for the state committee of Flor
ida to adopt rules that will shut ont
the republicans from future democrat
ic primaries.

please come into the running, make a
good race, fill those corn tables full
