At the recent city election held
at Marceline, there were votes
cast for four aldermen. Of
these, the city council Oh can

slider only one alderman elected

were not elected legally and their
votes were thrown out on ac-
count of the fact certain require
ments of the state laws had not
been complied with. Mayor
Halderman stated that in reject
ing the ballots in the case OF
the three remaining aldermen
and calling another election fol
the first meeting of the council
in May he had only followed the
dictates of the state law.

Her Idea of 1t

A proposal of marriage right
out in the open street in broad
daylight, a little after the public
schools closed Wednesday, was
witnessed by a local merchant.
The proposal was done in true
moving picture style, accompan-
led by the expressive use of the
eyes such as the heroines of the
movies" transfix their lovers.
The scene was dramatic but it
proved to be a mere rehearsal, a
young lady taking the part of
the enamoured swain, she, pro-
posing to her young lady COM
panion. When asked what the
stunt was she stated it was her
idea of what a proposal should
be. Needless to say, she is
young woman who admires the
moving pictures.

ties continued up to the midnight
hour when a lunch was served

the roads bad, the crowd decided
to stay until daylight and dance
away the hours. Many costly
and useful presents were given
the bride and groom and they
were recipients of hearty con-
gratulations of their many
friends. Over $50 guests were
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Name,

ARBITRATE BOUNDARIES
County superintendent :
Schools Presides Over
Discussion

The county superintendent OF
schools presided over a court OF
arbitration consisting of four
arbitrators to decide upon the
matter of changing boundaries
of several school districts in the
districts in this county. In each
of the cases, no changes were
made, the dicision of the board
of arbitrators being unanimous.
The first case before the
court was dismissed on account
of a faulty petition and in the
other two cases the board decid-
ed against changes.
The first case was that of the
prospective change of boundary
between districts 80 and 81.
The court dismissed this case
on the ground of faulty petition
the plaintiffs failing to properly
describe boundary lines between
the districts.
In the second case there was
a petition by district No. lis for
a change o f boundary. The
arbitrators heard the evidence
and decided against the petition.
In the third case, looking tc
alterations in boundary lines
between districts No. 65, CT and
68, this was hotly contested and
arbitrators decided upon n
change in the lines.
The arbitrators who were ]. F.
Taylor. Charles Parker, A. N,
Hardin and Franc Mitchell. Ir
the cases of districts No. 81, 6t
and 6S a Salisbury attorney rep
resented them.

The Mysterious Nickel

Ben Brewer while working up
at his new place, tearing down
the old house, made a find that
brought to his mind visions of
buried treasures, lost fortunes
and all the other stories he had
read of big money finds. He
was busy at work when he found
an old sack stuck up in the cor
ner of the old building. In the
sack which evidently was a coin
sack, he felt a small coin. He
made a hasty investigation and
discovered that the coin was one
lone, measly nickel. Nothing
daunted, he began a more thoro-
ugh search of the vicinity Of the
find, determined to discover the
remainder of the treasure if
possible. However there was
nothing more doing. Whether
someone had secretly boarded
their money and left the last
nickel, thinking the bag was
empty, or, whether someone
placed the bag and nickel there
just to fool someone will not be
known. The varied career of
the old house makes it almost
impossible to solve the mystery
of the lone nickel so Mr.. Brewer
stuck it in his pocket and then
forgot about it.

THOSE STREET LIGHTS
Much Talked of But They
Haven't Been Lighted
Yet.

The talk about the street lights
will not down at the present. 1t
pops up every now and then
and someone wants to know
when the lights are to begin
shedding forth their brilliant
rays. This is some poser. There
was an ocean level full of talk a
short time ago about a water
works system. Somehow o r
other the system has not
materialized and not even any
more talk is heard of it. The
light question is one that can be
more easily solved than that of
waterworks as it will not
necessitate the bonding of the
city or anything of that kind. 1t
will necessitate the expenditure
of the city's money and it might
be a good thing for someone to
get an estimate on just what it
would cost to light the city gas
lights (if we cannot get electric
ones) for a year. The lights
were needed more during the
winter than they are now but
there will be some dark nights
during the summer when the
unlucky pedestrian who is de-
tanned to a late hour at the club
will welcome even a small spot
of light to guide his faltering
footsteps. If the streets cannot
be lighted, if the city has not
money enough, let someone get
up and say so. If it has, then
let US have a little light on the
dark nights. Anyhow, aldermen
give US a little light on the sub
ject generally-what do you
say?

Nav Tax Churches?

1t is reported that one of the
city aldermen has been figuring
that if a merchant is to be taxed
an occupation tax, then, any
other person or institution that
traffics in goods, ware, etc. at
any time also should be taxed
for this occupation. That is, if
a merchant sells dry goods, he is
taxed an occupation tax. But if
a church goes into the dry goods
business for a day or several
days in the year, in competition
with the local merchant it pays no
tax whatever, His idea is,, that
to equalize these matters and put
all persons engaged in the mer-
camille business on the same
basis, he proposes to suggest an
ordinance providing for the pay
ment of some sort of fee by any
person, church, lodge or other
organizations which shall engage
in giving dinners, exchanges,
rummage sales, etc. 1t is not
known how far he will get with
it or whether it will ever be put
up to the council but he express
ed himself to a reporter as feel
ing that this was a fair division
of the burden of those who en-.
gagged temporarily or permanently
in business, whether for the
church, lodge or private gain.

"WetS" Lose in Audrain

The "wets" planned to keep the
city of Mexico, Mo-, in the wet
column a few years in spite of
the new county unit law but
they reckoned without their host.
They circulated a petition for an
election to be held before the
unit law went into effect but the
county court rejected the petition
as presented and the vets will
have to take another move. Ow-
ing to the fact many who signed
the petition for the election
claimed later that they did moi
realize what the petition meant,
the judges declared the petition
was not a fair expression of
desire on the part of the people
for the election.

Macon Couple Long Married

There resides in Macon a
couple who have been married
more than sixty-five years. Mr..
and Mrs. Francis Tracey were
married at Marette, o., January
Is, 1848. That is a record of
married life exceeding that of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Boone Cook
of Linn County, Missouri, by six
months and a few days, the
latter couple having been married
July 20, 184S. 1t was reading
the recent announcement of the
Linn County pairs long married
life that caused the Traceys to
'fspeak out in meeting.
The Traceys came to Macon
County in 1856 when this region
was a wilderness, and rented a
160-acre farm. There were nc
railroads and very few neighbors.
1t was the day of log cabins,
flintlock and wild turkeys.
Where Macon now is was a 2.
story structure and a blacksmith
shop.

Breaking INTO Cars Dangerous

Philip Nagel was sentenced to
5 years in, the penitentiary by
Judge Dyer in the o.. S. Dist.
Court in st. Louis April 9 for en-
tering a box car, driven there by
a private watchman at the point
of a revolver.
The conviction was under a
new Federal Statute which makes
tia felony to break into a car con-
tanning interstate shipment Of
merchandise. The car Nagel
broke into contained scrap cop
per, and the defense showed by
testimony that he was pursued
by a private watchman with a
revolver, and to escape him, the
defendant got into the car and
was caught there.
The jury required about an
hour to find Nagel guilty of the
charge of breaking into a car Of
interstate merchandise, and the
five year sentence was passed on
him.
The only rational conclusion is
that if you are at a railroad and
some one gets after you with a
gun. climb a tree, crawl in a
hollow log or jump in the river,
but never conceal yourself in
box car, stock or fiat car fol
fear it has a scrap of iron OF
coal from another state in it.

Nearly a Mile of Eggs

Last Tuesday the firm of E. P.
Stamper & Co. shipped 60 cases
of eggs in a single day. As
there were thirty-six dozen eggs
to each case it means over 1000
dozen eggs or exactly 2592O
eggs. Each egg will average a
length of 2 inches which means
that if these eggs were set end
and end they would extend a
distance of 1920 feet exactly
three-quarters Of a mile, or
twelve ordinary blocks Of 300
feet each. When these figures
are noted it will be seen that
there is considerable food in the
nature of eggs leaving this city
for the cold storage plants to be
utilized later for food at twice
the rate per dozen they now are
bringing. All through the
country the same thing is hap
pening and the egg cases are
piling up on the station plat
forms. If a town this size can
put out three-quarters of a mile
per day, it will be seen that the
receptables at the packing houses
are soon to be filled with the
favored April pack" of hen
fruit.
