'8E INJURIES NEW HOME
Mrs. Vandiyer's X. G. Resi-
dence Damage $4,000
Insured

Mrs. G. p. Vandiver received
a message over telephone last
Sunday that a fire midnight Sat.
urday had resulted in a partial
destruction of her new home in
Wabash Avenue, Kansas City.
The message gave no details
excepting that the building was
only partially destroyed. Mrs.
Vandiver and Roy Cropper went
up Sunday afternoon to look over
the site Of the fire and sent word
back that the damage was about
$4,000 to the interior of the
structure. The building was in
sured for $5, 900.
There are some other develop
ments to the affair that lend an
added interest. Some woman,
who painted china for a living,
has been living in the house for
years and efforts had been made
to oust her, both by Mr.. Thrash
and Mrs. Vandiver. A judg-
ment Of custer had been obtain
ed and the woman was to have
been evicted Monday. The fire
occurred at midnight Saturday.
1t seems that the woman had
put up a strenuous resistance to
being put out. There is no evil
eence to connect her with the
blaze further than the knowledge
of the lawsuit to evict her and
the further fact that the fire
seems to have started in the
room where her oven for 'bak-
ing" the painted china was
located. The fire destroyed the
interior of that room on the
ground floor, burned upward
through the room above and into
the attic. The outer walls and
roof were not damaged. The
water used BY the fireman added
to the damage caused by the
fire.
Mrs. Vandiver returned to
Keytesville Tuesday afternoon.
She had intended moving to the
city at once but this may delay
her departure until the insurance
lis adjusted and repairs made.

Will Appeal Case

u. R. Westlake has decided to
appeal his case against the West
ern Union when the jury at
Salisbury gave him judgment
for $40 on one count and decided
against him on the other. He
was suing for damages and the
statutory penalty of $500, for
failure to transmit a message.
The penalty was refused it is
said, on the ground that West
lake did not pay cash with the
message when he filed it, but, as
it is customary here. sent it
through the telephone Office, the
agent Of the telegraph Office.
prepaid, and the telephone Office
collected at the end Of the month
as is the custom with responsible
parties. Mr.. Westlake feels
that the message stands just the
same, under the circumstances
as if he had gone to the tele-
phone Office and deposited the
cash with it. For this reason he
will take the case, it is said, to
the court Of appeals.

Inconsistent Man

through the Kansas City papers
about women covering their ears
with their hair. This was not

also kicks about slit skirts. This

BOUND FOR WOOLLY WEST
Three Local Spirits Start
Westward on the Hobo

Idaho or bust.
This was the last word had by
local people on the mysterious
disappearance of Warner alias
Cheese" Holman, Nick Fergu-
son and Oliver Baker who left
here Sunday bound for the west
and will probably land, busted.
Be it known that Mr.. Holman
was assistant postmaster, Mr..
Baker, foreman for the Recorder
and Mr.. Ferguson, an employe
at the home of DR.. Zillman.
They left here Sunday after
noon and rode the cushions to
Brunswick where they visited
their fair ones until late when
they waited for a passenger and
rode the bumpers into Kansas
City. They left there, still on
the "bo" for the northwest and
a local boy got a postal from
them stating they were in To-
peka. 1t seems they are bound
for Idaho or Montana, strong
with the lust of adventure. It
is not known if they took with
them scalping knives but it is
suspected they will have some
spirited encounters with the In
dians as their conversation be-
fore they left indicated they ex-
pected something of this sort.
The boys raised" what they
could from their friends by the
borrowing method, without Sc
curity and left these in addition

Property Versus Life


To the legal mind, apparently,
the rights of property have al
ways seemed of more importance
than human life, For hundreds
of years it was possible for a
man brutally to maltreat his
child with less legal risk than if
he had poached a hare. Gradually
human life became more valuable
but even to-day it fails to re-
ceive the protection that is ac-
corded to property. 1t is no un-
common thing to find reported in
British newspapers cases in
which a drunken navy has kick
ed and otherwise abused his
wife, to receive no greater
punishment at the hands of the
law than a paltry fine, while the
unhappy wight who, driven by
hunger, steals a loaf is sent to
prison, nor do we need to 60
over sea to find such instances
of worship property. An ex-
cellent illustration of the work.
ings of the legal mind in prob
lens of this kind is to be found
in a study of ten Notices of
Judgment issued by the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture and giving in detail the ac-
count of ten violations of the
Food and Drug Act. These ten
cases deal with charges brought
against the firm of Hawley and
Hoops, New York who are in the
candy business. Hawley ard
Hoops sell what is known as
penny goods" that is the kind
of candy purchased by the little
tot who has been given a penny
to spend. Ten different speci-
mems of Hawley and HOOPS
penny goods were seized by the
officials of the Bureau of Chem
istry and analysed. All of them
were found to be adulterated
with arsenic and most of them
contained shellac. All of them
were being sold as chocolate
candies, yet the officers reported
that some did not even have
predominating flavor of choco-
late. In every case the firm
plead guilty. In nine out of ten
casee no penalty was imposed,
the court suspendiLg judgment.
In the tenth case a fine of $50
was imposed. The case in which
q fine was imposed was the one,
and the only one, in which the
company had not merely sold a
poisonous product to little chill
dren, but had mis-stated the net
weight of the package in which
the arsenic-containing candies
came. Selling to little children
as chocolate candy a mixture
containing arsenic and shellac is
apparently, in the eyes Of the
law, a trivial offense. But sell
ing to a dealer a package marked
five pounds that really contained
only four pounds fourteen and
five-eights ounces, that is a
crime.

Missionary Institute

Last Sunday and Monday mis- sionary institute was held in the Con- gregational church under the direction of the officers of the American Board of Missions. The purpose of these meetings, that are being held through out the country, is to stir up interest in missionary work. The meetings in this city were well attended and both interesting and enjoyable and new interest in this branch of christian work was created by the enthusiastic and forceful speakers who pointed out great work being done and to be done in foreign fields This work needs the support of the home churches all over the land and it is only with this sup port that the work can be successfully carried on. Stories illustrating the different phases of the work in the field served to graphically protray the results obtained and proved pleasing frame for much that was necessarily statistical.
 I day. In the evening Mir. and Mrs. G. A. Hammond, Oak Hill, threw open their large house where an informal reception was held and the speakers met many of the townspeeple. A special feature of the evening was the address of ex-president Taft on his views on the missionary problem. Mrs. Hammond procured the record for their fine machine especially for the occasion. Refreshments were served. The evening proved a very pleasant one.
 Sunday the various pulpits in this and surrounding towns were supplied by the speakers as follows: Rev. E. Smith, D. D., Putnam, at the morn- sng service; Rev. C. H. Patton, D. D., Danielson, at the morning service, Putnam at the evening service; Rev. H. C. Merrill, Wauregan at the morn- ing service; Rev. J. K.

 There was conference of ministers Monday morning. At noon the speakers, ministers, and committee, were entertained al luncheon given by Mr. and Mrs. Hammond at the Inn. Further meetings were held during the afternoon and evening. At eight o'clock banquet was held in the gymnasium, served by the ladies social circle.
