Systematically, the evangelist

otherwise showing their approx

sermons are short and the songs

The church has been filled with
pretty fair sized audiences.

sports that are open but he is
not going to waste any tears
over the efforts if he fails in this
line. Noel Walther was not GER
tain the first of this week if he
would attend school this year.
If he does he will go to West

bility. "Huck" Richardson

Husband is Also Poor
Provider

Mrs. Kathryne M. Forrest is
in at September term Of circuit
court with a bill for divorce filed
by her attorney, F. C. Sasse.
In the bill Mrs. Forrest recites
her tale Of blasted expectations
and asks for divorce from W. o.
Forrest of Kansas City, a street.
car motorman and also custody
of their five-year-old daughter.
Mrs. Forrest alleges she left
her home near Shannondale in
1906 to marry Forrest which she
did July "a in Kansas. They
then went to Kansas City to re-
side and she found that her hus-
band was a streetcar conductor
and she was compelled to board
and lodge in a cheap boarding
house. She later took job
in a department. store at X. G.
to help pay expenses and in Augs
ust of 1907 their baby was born.
She then went to her home at
Shannondale and remained six
months, returning to Kansas
City to her husband, sewing to
help her husband. Finally left
him and, since that time has
been doing forsherself.
Mrs. Forrest alleges that her
husband did not care to go to
places of amusement and object
ed to her going. He refused to
let her entertain the people she
knew in the city. She also says he
subjected her to otherindignities
and that, therefore, she wants
separation from him..

LOCAL ICE CROP IS GONE
Last WagonIoad Distributed
Monday Morning-Up
100 per cent.

Monday morning, Keytesville
people received their last round
of ice from the Moore ice house
where the ice has been sold at
40 cents the 100 lbs. Many
thought that a pretty fair price
for the CONCEALED fluid but when
they were confronted with the
imported ice at rs cents the 100
lbs. they held up ther hands in
horror.
The first load of artificial ice
came into the city Monday via
rail from Centralia, Mo-, and
retailed at rs cents the hundred.
This was made necessary by the
loading of the ice at shipping
points, its long haul, unloading
and shrinkage and at that, the
sellers say there is no profit in it
because of the long haul.
One cause for the rapid dimin-
ution Of the local supply was the
sale of it to outside towns and
country places. 1t is reported
that much of it went through
this avenue and the supply ran
out befor expected.
In this age of pampered ap-
petites, ice seems to many to be
a necessity instead of a luxury
and few homes in the city are
without it. 1t is probable that
some people with better judg-
ment than others will put ice on
the expensive luxury list when
it sells for rs cents per 100 and
will quit using it. 1t will be a
big saving tothe peoples pocket
books and as the ice company
does not make anything on the
imported product, it also will be
in status quo. Then, everybody
can be. warm and happy.

Tom Drew Lost Blood

Tom Drew. If one could be,
pardoned for punning a rather
serious incident it might be re-
marked that Tom drew a plenty.
He drew a clout on the head,
cuts justin front Of the ears, each
severing an arthry, and several
scratches on the neck. Tom
Drew and another man, whom
Tom refuses to say anything
about as he does not care to stir
up trouble, fused a little over a
team of mules. How far they
went is shown by the fact that
Tom had a big bump on his head,
caused it is said, by a rap from
a hammer and two cuts both of
which opened an artery causing
Drew to bleed furiously before
he got to town Sunday afternoon
when a surgeon could close the
arteries. He was pretty weak
when he got here. The cuts
were jabbed straight in to the
bone, the opponent stabbing
rather than cutting Drew. The
neck scratches and hammer-blow
were not serious enough to men
tion alongside the cuts. The
sheriff made some investigation
Of the affair but the facts were a
little hazy and Drew did not
seem to care to say much about
them. 1t is said that Drew had
been drinking Sunday but was
pretty well sobered by the time
he reached town.

That Rain
vantage.

L1OW DIy dIil,
No one cares
How Dry | am. !"
This refrain is one that is no
longer sung. Even the dry
cackling leaves of the corn gave
Iout this melancholy and heart
breaking strain for the past few
weeks when stirred by the pass
ing Of vagrant breezes, but now,
it is no more. 1t rained. One
thing certain is that the memory
of man runneth not back so far
as to remember when it became
too dry to rain. 1t has been dry
heretofore but it sooner or later
has had to rain. Thus, it rained
Monday. One citizen remarked
that for twelve years past, it
rained the day the public schools
opened and this year seems to be
Ino different from the rest of
them. 1t rained at noon preced-
ed by a heavenly breeze. When
the first big drops of the shower
fell. the dust inches deep, pop
ped and shot up in little spurts
of smoke like bullets on a dusty
| field of battle. The dust soon
was laid and the water ran in
the cutters of the street for the
for the first time in weeks. The
greedys oil drank the water ra-
Ipidly and the corn made a pitiful
effort to revive and look like il
was pleased. 1t came too late
to improve the corn crop but il
will help save what is left.

Several Inches Of Rain

The real rain we have been
waiting for came Wednesday
evening, the forerunner about
10 p. m. from the southeast.
That was the prelude to another
which fell in a deluge accom-
panied by winds from the east
and southeast, Many report
the fall of four inches Of rain
while one man living southeast.
of town reported a fivs-inch
fall. Allowing for imperfect
measurements, it is probable
that several inches of rain fell.
It is to be regretted it did not
come earlier.

over The GOVERNORS VETO
Minnette and Nolan Bills Affecting
Control Of Public Utilities Ap.
proved by the House.

The lower branch of the state leg
islature has repassed the Minnette bill
for the regulation of telephones and
the Nolan bill confirming the right of
municipalities to regulate all utilities
except telephones over the governors
veto. Both bills now go to the senate
for repassage or defeat.
The Minnette bill passed so easily
that even it's friends were surprised,
the vote being IS to IA, eighty being
necessary to pass a bill over veto.
The Nolan bill, however, was passed
only after the prettiest fight of the
session. The absence of a half dozen
Of it's foes proved the salvation of the
bill. A flibuster lasting over an hour
was resorted to, during which friends
Of the measure, under the pretext of
sending for absent members who had
been excused, persuaded enough mem
bers to change from nay to yea to
make the necessary eighty votes.
Most of the absentees, had they been
present. it is believed, would have
voted against the bill. The bill would
then have been lost.
