Train Hits Auto

A passenger on the Wabash
west bound: Monday morning
tells a story of an auto tnat went
dead on a party of several men
and women from Moberly Sun
day night just as they mounted
the crest or the Wabash track in
he way of a Wabash train be.
tween Salisbury and Huntsville.
The motor stalled just as they
got on the track and they were
unable to get it off before a train
hove in sight. The party got
out of the car and made way,
hoping the train would stop but
it did not until after the car was
hit and knocked about so feet
long the roadbed, badly disfigur-
ed. A strange thing is that
when it alighted it did so, on its
wheels, right side up. None of
the party was injured.
The Moberly papers say the
car was a new one, one Of the
best in Moberly and was a total
wreck. The party consisted Of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Curran, their
daughter Vira, Miss Baird, Roy
Wright add L. H. Schmidt who
were bound for Randolph Springs
about 5 p. m. when the accident
occurred. When the engineer
on the train saw the car was
abandoned and that he could moi
stop in time to save it he put on
full steam, hit ithard and knock
ed it clear Of the track thus
avoiding injury to his engine OF
train.

Broke His Leg

A. s. McCauley, a farmer re-
siding not far from this city, had
his right leg broken at the ankle
last Saturday night when his
team ran off while he was in the
barnlot at the home of Mrs. J.
M. Bradshaw. Mr.. McCauley
was unloading some hogs at
Bradshaw's when the team
frightened, turned and upset the
rig. Seeing the wagon bed was
to turn over on him, Mr.. Nc
.Cauley tried to adjust himself
that his body would fall under
meath the bed. He failed to get
one foot under, the right leg
falling under the edge of the
bed, the fracture resulting. He
was brought to town and a sur
geon reduced the fracture.

Stopped. the Noise

The town of Dewitt had a
novel method of stopping the
noisy demonstrations on the
Fourth. At the band concert
proceeding the Fourth the chill
dren made so much noise with
firecrackers, etc. that the mayor
decided that the real Fourth
would be something fierce, so
one firm which had a supply of
fireworks did not put them on
sale and the mayor took up a
public subscription to purchase
the other merchants supply
which was dumped into the
river. The youngsters were a
little disappointed but the
majority of DeWitt's citizens
had a sane Fourth. This is
mentioned to show the elements
of promptness Of action and
public spiritedness on the part Of
the mayor and DeWitt's people.

Miss Peach Here

Miss Homegrown Peach, is one
of the latest arrivals. She got
here this week and looked all the
candy. Her soft cheeks were
mantled with a damask that
would shame the brush of a
Raphael or Titan. There was
nothing demure or small about
her as she appeared right at the
beginning of the season with a
form plump and rounded, giving
evidences. of good feeding and
culture. Yet, she was a deceiv-
er. Miss Peach, when it came
to slipping the nectar from her
lovely cheeks proved to be a
rather flat and insipid individual.
In truth she seemed a little green
and undeveloped in spite of her
high color and dimensions. When
her short comings were mention
ed, she smiled archly and whisp-
cred that she came a little early
and that her younger sisters who
would come a little later would
make up in flavor what she lack
ed. The early arrivals sold for
about three for a nickel and in
size, were big value for the
money. For the first offerings
they were o. K.

The Park Service

good talk, from the thirteenth
chapter of the book Of John.
The next service is to be Sun

Chief Couldn't Cut 1t

A Keytesville resident in Mo-
berly Saturday saw a good but
bloody scrap between Chief of
Police Hinton of that city and a
tramp the chief finally arrested.
The tramp was considerably
smaller than the chief but the
officer could not subdue him
without help, even with the use
Of his club, which he did use
frequently and with all his re-
sources. With the assistance Of
bystanders the police finally ar
rested the fellow who was accus-
ed of stealing money from the
banjo which was passed around
for the collection by a member
of a Salvation army.

Test Burglar Alarm

The Farmers Bank burglar
alarm rang feeb!y for a few
strokes several times shortly
afternoon Tuesday but there
were no burglars. They were
just adjusting the alarm. The
sound of the alarm brought a
reminiscent strain into the mind
of one of the local residents
and brought forth the inquiry if
any of the local banks had ever
been cracked and robbed. 1t
seems that no local bank ever
was held up and relieved of its
change but one attempt was
made years ago when the late
William E. Hill had in his office
a big safe in which he kept his
valuables while he did a private
banking business. This was be-
fore the day of real state or
national banks, or, in fact, any
other kind in this city. The safe
he used now stands in the Key
tesville Bank room. The burg
lars bored through the outer
door of this receptacle and blew
off this door but were frightened
away before they got into the
vault containing the real change.
They got nothing. So far as
seems to be recalled now, no one
ever robbed or attempted to rob
any of the local banks.

MGRCELINE TAXES GAME
Sunday Baseball Contest,
Marceline -Four to Key
tesyille's Two.

Four automobiles containing a
baseball team and a few rooters
left here about ten o'clock Sum
day morning for Marceline
where the locals went to it on
the diamond with the Marceline
boys. The score resulted in 4 to
2, favoring Marceline.
It is the old story of the UNI
pire. The locals say the score
should have been three tc one.
They say the Marceline boys
should have had only three of
their runs, as a three bagger
which brought in three runs was
clearly a foul but the umpire did
not follow the ball closely enough
to decide it correctly. However
that may be, the score officially
stands A to 2.
The crowd amounted to $35 in
cash. The home boys returned
at $50 p. m. Palmer of Ellis
worth, a guest Of ]. B. Cooke
handled the game from the box
for the locals and did good work.
The long run and catch of
Cash in deep center in the second
inning was the star play of the
day. Those who went from here
in addition to the ball team were
Cleve Schell, Ledrew Brewer,
Bob Newsom, Pat Thrash, Claib
Franklin and Russell Watt, the
latter of Ellsworth, Mo. The
four cars taken were those of
Jim Dameron, Burley Woods,

TO OMAHA
Show Boat Reaches Kan-
sas City-Showed at
Brunswick

The Sunday Kansas City Star
has a short story concerning the
Wonderland" the steamer
carrying a theatre which showed
at Brunswick, Glasgow and other
Missouri river towns a month
ago, a number from here going
to Brunswick to see the show.
The star says of the boat which
left Kansas City for Omaha,
Neb.:
"A river ghost of the early
days when stern-wheeler pack
cts piled up and down the Mis-
souri, River, slid up to the east
end of the municipal wharf Fri
day night. AS silently it slipped
its moorings last night went on
up the river. It was the Won
derland, a floating theatre, " a
duplicate of the amusement
boats which steamed on the in
land streams when our grand
parents were kids"
"The Kansas Citians who
didn't see Wonderland missed
something in the way of play
houses. For the Wonderland,
while a copy of early-day river
theatres, is modern in every
respect. 1t has a thoroughly
equipped stage, with eighteen
shifts of scenery, staterooms for
the actors, orchestra pit, electric
lights and fans : everything
which goes to make a modern
vaudeville theatre.
"As ]. W. Cooley, one of the
owners of the boat put it: Why
can't we improve floating
theatres just the same as they
improve city theatres?'
''The theatre is built on a huge
barge. The auditorium itself is
157 feet long and forty-six feet
wide. The seating capacity of
the theatre is one thousand. But
when the Wonderland slides up
to the landing of a quiet little
town of a quiet afternoon and
shivers the sunshine with melod-
les from its steam calliope, the
entire populace and the farmers
for miles around come out to see.
Then there are more than
thousand who jam and cram
their way into the theatre. As
many as 1900 have pressed into
the place, Mr.. Cooley says"

BEEF DEMAND
EXCEEDS SUPPLY

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The
demand for beef far exceeds the
supply, with high prices as the
result says a Department of Ag-

The shortage of meat produc-
ing animals steadily is becoming
greater. The supply of beef cattle
has declined more than thirty per
cent in the last six years. The
prices in 1912 on cattle, sheep and
hogs was much higher than the
preceding year. With the dimin-
ishing of the home production
there is no longer an export sur
plus.
