A discovery was made on a tract of

A discovery was made on a tract of
land adjourning the Martin Buck
farm, two miles north of Poplar Bluff
on the old Hillard road this week
that has aroused considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood and may
mean the developing of another i'm
portant industry in this part of Mis-
souri,. While digging a well on the
land mentioned above, workmen ran
into extensive signs of coal at a depth
of thirty feet. Further investigation
was made and signs provedso promis-
ing that it was decided to continue
digging, in an effort to reach a vein
of coal which is undoubtedly near at
hand. Whether the vein when dis
covered, proves of any value remains
to be seen. The we'll will be sunk ten
feet further by hand and then if no
coal is found a steel drill will prob
ably be used. Several experts on
coal and minerals have investigated
the signs and state the prospects of
locating coal are very promising.
Considerable interest has been arous-
ed among farmers and Poplar Bluff
people.-Poplar Bluff Republican.

WHEN an attorney attempts to boil
ster up a weak case by garbling a
decision, he is called a pettifogger.
How shall we designate a "temper-
ance'' advocate seeking to sustain his
position on that question by wrestling
the Scriptures-cutting off a verse in
the middle and thus destroying the
the meaning of the text? Here is a
sample: "Woe unto him that giveth
his neighbor drink" This is taken from
verse Is, chapter 2, of Habakkuk.
But it is only a portion of that verse,
which in full, reads: "Woe unto him
that giveth his neighbor drink, that
puttest thy bottle to him, and makest
him drunken also, that thou mayest
look on his nakedness." 1t is not the
giving the drink, but the purpose for
which it is given-to glory in the
shame of others-that is condemned.
There is no prohibition of the tenn
perate use of strong drink in the
Scriptures; to find that you will have
to go to the Koran.

England and France combinedi in 1852
IS to thwart Russia's object, and in
the Crimean war at ~Sebastapol sacri-
feed $4,000 lives to 80, 900 Russians to
keep the Dardanelles Turkish. Eng
land, in her greed, and France for re-
venge for 1870, seem to have forgot
ten the real intention of Russia in
joining the Triple Entente.
The third cause also may be said to
date back more than two hundred
years. In 1851, Louis, XIV, while
France was at peace with Germany,
marched in and took forcible possess
sion of Alsace and Lorraine, two Ger
man provinces. Germany was then
at war, fighting the invading Turks in
what is now Servia and Hungary. As
the house of Hapsburg was then ina
BILE to defend its territories in western
Germany, Louis simply kept it. When
Napoleon III. sought t'Revenge for
Sadowa," in the year 1870, and wan
tonly attacked the North German
Federation, the German people, with
one accord, cried: snow, we want
Alsace and Lorraine back" And
mind, during all those two hundred
years the people in these provinces
had kept their German speech; the
newspapers, even, were printed in
both the German and French Ian
guages.
1t is now forty three years since
Bismarck re-annexed the two prov
inces to Germany. Count Moltke
then said that in fifty years the Ger
mans would have to fight for them
again. Well, here they are at it,even
seven years sooner.
The outcome of this war is impossi-
BILE to tell; its cost will impoverish all
Europe. But those who think that
Emperor William has not the support
of every living German heart are bad
ly mistaken. This war will decide
whether Europe is going to be Cos
sack, n ofthe alternatives Napoleon
l predicted, or whether the Germanic
races, which include those "British-
ers," shall have the ascendancy in Eu-
rope. With my wishes for German
success, Yours, respectfully,

IF aver a man underwent a skin
ming, Mr.. Hornaday of the Audubon
Society received one from Senator
Reed lately. Because the Senator had
opposed a bill to appropriate $50, OOOfo
the Sooiety's use in the protection of
migratory birds, Mr.. Hornaday and
the Society saw fit to hold him to
ridicule and scorn in the newspapers.
Unfortunately for himself, Mr.. H. had
written a book ofhis hunting exploits,
entitled ''Two Years in the Jungle"
wherein he boosted of his ruthless
killing of monkeys and other animals
BY the score-for the love of ''sport"
and the money there was in it for
him, with an alleged scientific ad-
junct "on the side" Byron POLITICALLY
delindated the eagles death from an
arrow plumed with one of it's own
feathers. So Senator Reed fays the
protested protector of animal and bird
life with the lash the victim had him
self provided. lisa mighty readable
speech, is the Senator's, and I didn't
miss a word of it as printed. 1 beg to
suggest that he procure a copy of this
months issue of "Our Dumb Animals"
and read an article entitled "Evi-
dences of Relationship" 1t makes
a fitting supplement to his remarks
and he will read it with satisfaction.
sour Dumb Animals'' is as meritorious
a production as comes to this office,

In a four-act melodrama entitled Fac

them by E. A. and A. A. Baily the mem
bers of the Camp Belgrade Dramatic
Club made their second annual appear
ance at the City Opera house Tuesday
evening. The one regrettable feature
about the entertainment. which was in
deed splendid one, was the small au-
dience. Admirers of good amateur talent
who enjoy something out of the ordinary
would have found their desires gratified
by the people from the lake. The parts
written especially for the actors natural
ly fitted them to 1T" The plot was
not too complicated nor mixed up to be
fiambuoyant. The action was rapid. even
If little disconnected in spots, and kept
the audience in a state of expectancy.
The acting was above the ordinary stand
ard in such productions. There were few
glaring or even noticeable errors. The
parts of women taken by Henry NJ Pay
son and Robert A. Walton were unusual
ly well interpreted. Specialties between
the acts prevented there being a dull
moment.

BRITISH TROOPS INTO
ACTION FOR FIRST TIME

London, Aug. 25.-(4.03 A. M)-The
French correspondent of the Express
says that the British troops came in
to action for the first time on Friday
and Saturday. 1t was only an affair of
outposts and scouting, but interesting
because of the light it threw on the
exhausted condition of the German
advance guard.
The correspondent continues:
"Detachments were scouting in the
country to the westward of Brussels
and south as far as Charleroi. Ex
hausted though the German cavalry
were known to be. saw that their
success lay in continued rapid advance
and it was obvious that they would
push on at the first possible moment.
80 while the Belgians were sullen-
ly falling back towards the north, the
English cavalry were busily employed
feeling for the inevitable German adj
vance, while the French horse, foot
and artillery came up from the south
and west"

The Italian steamer Ancona from

Fourteen officers and los of the
crew of the Austrian cruiser Zenta,
said to have been sunk Aug. 16, in an
engagement with the French fleet,
have sought refuge in Montenegrin
territory. The press, commenting on
this engagement, says that the men on
the Zenta, inspired by the spirit of De-
gethoff Ga noted Austrian admiraD,
ventured into the open sea to engage
in battle force probably several times
stronger with the object of doing as
much damage to the enemy as posi-
BILE oven though they knew certain
destruction awaited them.
