ENDING IN STABLES SHELTER
Once Famous Belle of Empress Ep
genle's Court Dependent on Char
ity for Her Subsistence.

Again the suggestive term Of
"Mme. X" has been applied to the
heroine in a life romance-this time
through no fear of libel, but out of
charity, for the papers which sympa-
thetically publish her story are also
collecting funds for her relief, 40
cording to a Paris letter.
This "Mme. X" who was once a
prominent belle of the second em-
pire, was discovered recently living
in a stable in Passy, her sole support
being a few gold pieces occasionally
doled out to her by a couple of her
former aristocratic friends. "Mme.
X" was once a courted belle Of the
Empress Eugenie's court. She had
no money, but a few fealthy relatives
paid her expenses as long rs there
was a prospect that her beauty might
win her a wealthy protector. AS she
had no "dot," a husband was out of
the question. But "Mme. x" pre-
ferred to remain respectable. Ulti-
mately she became an old maid and
was left to shift for herself.
In her stable in Passy, which she
is allowed to occupy by a good ma
tured teamster, whose father was one
of her servants in the old days, she
dresses in the now faded and cracked
silks and satins of 60 years ago, and
turns over the leaves of a yellow
scrapbook which contains the record
of her social triumphs, when her
dance partners were the then young
Comte de Gallifet and Prince Mu-
rat, son of the king Of Naples, and
her boon companions the Duchesse
and Mdle. de Rohan, the Duchesse
and Mdle. de Grammont, the Prin-
cess and Mdle. de Beauvan and a
host of other ladies famed in the st.
German clique of their day.

Missouri Crop Report.

August was an unfavorable
month for Missouri farmers, yet
there will be neither want nor
famine. In the face of discOur-
agements, made all the more no
t;ceable because of the failure
of the early season promise of a
bumper crop, there prevails an
optimism and determination most
commendable. This feeling is
reflected in most Of the reports
from correspondents, notwith-
standing that in every country of
the state there was a falling off
IN crop conditions during August.
At Columbia the rainfall for
the month was but or of an inch
rs compared with 4.91 inches last
year, 1.S6 inches in 1911, 1877
inches in 1901, and 3.04 inches

est temperature recorded was 105
degrees ON the 18th, but on eleven
days during the month it was 100
degrees or more.
CORN-Reports from the ia
counties of the state place the
condition of corn at 41.8, a loss
of % points for the month. One
year ago it was S6.S, and the
total state yield for that year
was 100000 bushels. Condition

August. There is much good
corn in river bottoms and ON low

are upland fields that will hardly

and the counties to the south
have also been hard hit. North
of the Missouri river the greatest
lack of rain has been in Audrain

Decree Rendered by Judge Parker
The First Of This Week.
COUNTY COURT EXERCISED
FUNCTIONS ERR0NEOUSLY"
Acted Arbitrarily, Without Due
Consideration and Without
Sanction Of Law.

In spite Of the fact that former
county judge Thiessen, as well
as others. tried to convey the
inference to the public by various
methods that the Globes bill to
the county for the publication Of
delinquent tax lists and county
court proceedings during the
year 1912 was a plain robbery.
Judge Parker decided this week
that the Globes bill was abso-
lutely correct and he has ordered
the county court to draw n war
rant in payment of same. In
his findings of fact and conclu-
sions of law Judge Parker said
that the county court, in passing
on the Globes bill, acted arbitrar-
lily, without sanction of law,
without due consideration and
without fixing reasonable COM
pensation for the work. In
Judge Parker's decree, in which
he orders the bill paid, he also
said: 1T is considered by the
court that the county court ex-
ercised its functions enormously
and to the detriment of the
plaintiff. !"
The supreme court of this
state has once passed on this
question in the case Of Flagg VS.
Columbia county and their deci-
sion in that case left no alterna-
tive in the present case except a
decree in favor of the Globe. T.
A. Weinke appeared as attorney
for the Globe.

CITYCOUNCU ATTEMPTS
TO EXCEED AUTHORITY
Members Have Lovely Pipe Dream When They
tined To Be Disappointed. Where is The Rub?

to accuse any member of the city
council with "willful neglect of
duty" yet one of the corpora
tions in Condor has never been
assessed for 1912, at least the
name does not appear on the tax
roll at all. Still Assessor Camp
bell is the man who originated
the phrase "willfuI neglect" and
made the motion demanding the
resignation of the city treasurer.
OF course this corporation will
be duly assessed and no one of
mature judgment would accuse
the assessor of "willful neglect
Of duty" simply because of an
oversight, yet this is practically
what the city council did regard
ing the city treasurer.
The question of auditing the
city's books has been sizzling in
the council for several months
and still nothing has been done
in the matter. Nothing would
please the treasurer better than
to have this done at once as this
would put an end to the vague
rumors of shortages, irregular
tiles, ETC.. upon which certain
notorious gossip-mongers have
been fattening themselves and
which, like the Irishman's flea,
are not there when you try to
locate them definitely. Why does
not the council ask the Governor
to resign and get some real
notoriety instead or jumping on
the poor, insignificant city treas
urer? The Governor would pro-
badly resign about as quickly as
the undersigned expects to. Does
the council really think there is
anything seriously wrong with
the affairs of the treasury or is
the money stored in the wrong
vault? Where does the shoe
pinch?

ONE OF THE BEST FARMS
In ALL GILLIAN COUNTY
Consideration Was $sS,OOO. Sold
to Rudolph kissing
Of Portland.

One of the largest real es-
tate deals ever made in Gillian
county was the sale of the E. o.
Tobey ranch a few days ago.
The ranch contains 5000 acres
and is situated on Shutter Flat
about twelve miles south of
Arlington. Itwas on this ranch
or at least where the ranch now
il, that the incident happened
that gave Shutter Flat its name.
Years ago an emigrant party
travelling the Oregon trail had a
breakdown on this fiat or plateau
and when they moved on an old
brokendown Peter Shutter wagon
was left by the side of the trail
and from that time that section
of the county has been known
as Shutter Flat.
The Tobey ranch is one of the
best in the county. 1t was pur-
chased by Rudolph kissing of
Portland and the consideration
was $4,000. Edgar o. Tobey,
the former owner, came here in
the early sos with practically no
means and by industry and good
business judgement acquired
this immense tract of land.
