The death of Dr. Edward T. Nc
Dowell, editor and publisher of the
Protective Record, at Hannibal, Mis-
souri,, was a distinct shock to his
friends throughout the entire state.

burns received from the explosion of
wood alcohol in his printing plant, and
after days of intense suffering he
passed away peacefully Sunday, Au-

one of the best pharmacists in the

PROFESSOR RICHARDSON DEAD.

Professor Herbert G. Richardson,
principal of the colored schools at
Kirksville, Mo-, died August IA, 1914,
at Fayette, Mo-, and the body was
taken to Glasgow, Mo-. where he was
born, for burial, under the auspices
of the West Gate Lodge No. S8, X. of
p, at Kirksville.
Mr.. Richardson was a scholarly gen
tleman, and as tender as an early rose
dripping with the dew of dawn, while
his great heart overflowed with bound
less love for every creature of God.
81 saw, methought, glad surprise,
Thrill through that frail and pain
worn frame,
And, kindling in those deep calm
eyes,
A still and earnest fame.
His few brief words were such as
move
The human heart The faith some
seeds
Which ripen in the soil of love
To high heroic deeds"
He knew no malice, nor was his
soul acquainted with the ways of hate.
West Gate Lodge and the entire com
munity mourn his loss, and weep
when they think upon his change, but
they also remember these consoling
words:
where is the victory of the grave?
What dust upon his soul lies?
God keeps the sacred life he gave;
The prophet never dies"
What he was to West Gate Lodge
may now in part, at least, be realized.
What he was to the society of Kinks
vile and which, let US say, loved him
ever for his willingness, was com
puted ere his body was consigned to
the earth from which it sprang.
'He walked the dark world in the
mild, still guidance Of the light. In
fearful tenderness, child; a strong
man in the right. All that is bright
must fade; the brightest will be fleet
est ;all that's sweet was made, but
to be lost when sweetest.

a notorious fact that no COM
modify will be cheaper. We do
not wish to be quoted as alarm
lists, but in face of the fact that
many shoe factories and tan
neries have actually closed
down, being unable to get raw
material, and with prices on the
present stock of leath and rub
ber advancing already above %
per cent with the worst of the
war to come, and terrible win
ter predicted, we feel that we
owe it to our friends and Gus
toners to give a word of warn
ing in order that they may at
once make their purchases of
fall and winter shoes and rub
bers.
We are determined to keep
our prices normal and are glad
to announce a big new stock Of

sTALLiNes RESPONSIBLE
 FOR DAVIS SUCCESS.
PIucky Braves Manager Has un-
 earthed Real Star.

George $. Davis, the Boston Braves young pitcher, who surprised the base ball world Wednesday by shutting the Phillies out without a hit or a run, is of Buffalo. Young Davis attracted widespread attention two years ago when he pitched for the Williams col- lege team. He was induced to turn professional by Trainer Barret of the Yankees and was signed by President Farrell at $5,000 a year. Davis didn't progress under Harry Wolverton's management, and after Il runs had been scored off him in one inning by the Cleveland Maps in a game on the Hilltop it was decided to send him to the Jersey City club.
 As a pitcher for the Skeeters the former collegian had fair success, but he didn't like minor league company. He believed that he could hold his own in the big circuits. He also had so much money of his own that he said he didn't have to play ball for liv- ing. Jersey City sent him back to the Yankees in the fall of 1912. therefore, and he went to Bermuda with Chance the following spring. Davis however, didn't tarry there long, for he had come Dack to be married. Chance later sent him to the Rochester club with no string attached and Rochester a year ago last month sold him to the Boston Braves. Stallings, who managed the Bunalo club in 1912, had seen Davis pitch for the Skeeters and had tabbed him in his mental notebook
 If you can develop a splitter you'll beat 'em all.'' said Stallings to the Williams college man last spring. Davis began to practice with the wet ball and he made such remarkable progress that Stallings waxed enthusiastic. He predicted over month ago that Davis if he mastered control of this delivery would clinch the pennant for the Braves. Davis pitched a few in ningsF against the Phillies last week and showed enough skill to warrant another trial. which he received We'd nesday. Davis is a right handler with ability to throw g. fast ball and a sweeping curve. He is a smart fellow. confident, game and ambitious. Stall 1ngs promised to make him famors and evidently he has succeeded. Davis 1T he can repeat the wonderful form or Wednesday will help James. Tyler and Rudolph beyond measure.
 Credit for the development of this new pitching star belongs entirely to Stallings. who discovered that he DOS sessed talent two years ago. Fred Mitchell. the Braves veteran coach. is also entitled to praise. He worked patiently day after day instructing Davis in private until he notified StalI- lngs that the Buffalo was ready.
