OFFICIAL PAPER OF cnoUTEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2, 1912.
SPENDING PUBLIC MONEY.

Disclaiming any intention or desire
to participate in the county division
campaign that is now in progress In
the northern part of Chouteau county,
the River Press feels constrained to
correct at least one of the m%tsrepre.
sentations or misstatements that Is
being given wide publicity. This par
ticular campaign allegation reflects
upon residents of this part OF Chou
. teau county in that it indirectly &C
cuses them of "hogging" more than
their just share of county funds ex.
pended upon public roads. and refer
ence Is made to the matter for the sole
purpose of correcting this m%isrepre-
sentation.
In an exhibit circulated as 9 Hill
county division document, there ap-
pears statement which says:
Spent for roads by Chou
tea county In 1911 $40, 793.7 70
Amount spent in Hill Co. 90, 000. 90
Now, the natural inference from these
alleged official figures would be that
all the money expended in Chouteau
county for road work last year was
distributed among road districts In
the eastern and southern parts Of the
county, and that the 5000 miles Of
public roads in the northwestern part
of the county were entirely neglected.
The statement also indirectly accuses
the board of county commissioners OF
favoritism-the exhibit purporting to
chow that they ''passed up" all road
business originating in Hill county
districts during the past year.
The actual facts are that just as much
attention and fair treatment was &C
corded to road matters in northwestern
Chouteau county the past year, q
was given to any other part of thu
county. For q period of nearly nin'
months there was q survey party q
work in that part of the county unde
the direction of Deputy County Sur
veyor McKendry, and another part.
was occupied with similar worl
in that section for about q month
The county surveyor also vas in per
sonal charge OF road work in that par
of the county at various times durinI
the year.
It also appears upon the official rec
ords that at each quarterly meeting Q
the board of commissioners an ar
portionment of road funds a mad
to each OF the ten road districts In tt
Hill county division, and that Il
amounts 90 spportioned were fully
large al the sums set apart for ar
other road districts. It is also
record that q large number of Il
road fund warrants issued during Il
year were for work or services pc
formed in connection with road ma
tiers in that part of the county.
This attempt to represent other pc
tions of Chouteau county as tho
ging" road money, although possib
unintentional, 10 calculated to bre
unfriendliness and sectional 81
mostly. To remove cause for 81
feeling Is the purpose OF this explain
ton or correction.

mitted suicide by shooting himself
in the head with an automatic pistol
at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
The victim had been in poor
health for several months. He came
here from Florin, Pa, and works as
a carpenter. Nearly year ago his
health began to fail and he went to
southern California, in the hope his
condition would improve The change
did not seem to benefit him, and he
recently returned.
Last night he talked with his wife
about his helpless condition and de
plored the fact that she would have
to work to care for their daughter.
He said he was respondent to de-
gree of absolute surrender and did
not care to live longer. Mrs. Keener
did her best to comfort her husban
but early this morning he arose,
went into another room and fired
a bullet into his head.
Mrs. Keener was distracted ry
the tragedy and neighbors vera at
tracted by her screams. The police
were notified and Chauffeur G 81 re

sen hurried to the scene. Keener
was still alive and they placed him
in the police ambulance and hurried
him to the emergency hospital, where

was waiting; but the unfortunate
man breathed his last just as the

NEW YORK suFFRAGETTEs
MARCHING TO ALBANY

route led to Ossining for the second

all. All the marchers declared them
selves refreshed by a good nights
sleep and none would admit that she
was footsore.
Although official secrecy as to the

ANNOUNCING THE
ENGAGEMENT

The announcing of an engagement
is of importance to almost every wo-
man at some time of her life. How
% do it in the incest way is the per-
picking problem. 1t can be done
quite simply and naturally by both
families informing all their friends
and relatives and the prospective
bridegroom telling all his men friends
how lucky he is, while. his fiancee
makes haste to make known to all
her girl friends the surprising infor.

There has been an effort made by
sportsmen To have duck season this year
declared open by the state fish and game
warden on September 10. but Mr.. Cham
berS has consulted with the states at

impossible to comply with the request.
The law definitely fixes October / as
the day for opening the duck season, and
II is bevond the power Of the warden to
make any change. Mr.. Chambers says
that It would have suited him 10 make
the date earlier. as that would have given
the sportsmen more shooting and would
not have resulted in any general injury
to the duck flocks On the contrary, he
thinks that II would have been beneficial
