A bungalow on Arcadia Heights,
occupied by William Butter, of st.
Louis, was burglarized a week ago
last Sunday night. Among the arti-
cles taken were two gold watches, a
couple of rings, some silverware and
a revolver. Sheriff Blue was Motif ed
and told that Chas. Smith and Billy
Frey, two young men who had been
about the Bungalow, yer suspected
of being the burglars. After an in
vestigstion MI. Blue concluded the
young men had gone to st. Louis, and
got in communication with the police
there. Sunday a message was re-
ceived saying Frey was in custody
and had admitted the burglary. Sher-
if Blue went to st. Louis Monday and
returned with his prisoner that night.
Frey was taken before Justice Rasche
next day, when he waived examina-
ton and was held for circuit court.
None of the stolen property was re-
covered. Smith, who Frey says was
his accomplice, has not yet been ap-
pretended.
1t brings back memories of the
past to see Attorney o.. L. Munger
marching down the street with a loaf
of bread and a hunk of meat under
one arm while the other is used in a
gestulatory manner to PROFOUND the
truths of Democracy or the truths of
whatever subject at hand. Before he
listened to the siren Of the metropolis
and moved to Piedmont, it was a
threetime daily sight to see Mr..
Munger deliver the foodstuffs and we
didn't realize how much we missed
it until this week when the perform
ance has been repeated. Mr.. and Mrs.
Munger are light housekeeping in
the Davidson property during court
and for this week are real and bona
fde citizens of Greenville. Greenville
would be immensely pleased should
they make their tenure of residence
a permanent one and we suspect that
in the innermost recesses of their
hearts Greenville is home any way

We note that Fl. R. Polak of Poplar
Bluff was nominated for prosecuting
attorney at the recent election by the
Republicans of Butler county without
opposition. Mr.. Polak is well known
in this county, having served as court
stenographer in this judicial circuit
during the last four years of Judge
Williams term of office. He now
holds a like position under Judge
Foard of the 33d judicial circuit. Mr..
Polak was one of the best steno-
graphers that ever served on this
circuit. He has recently been admit
tied to the bar and if he is as uccess
full in law. as he has been as a steno-
grapher he will certainly make a good
prosecuting attorney if elected. His
long experience as court stenographer
has afforded him ample opportunities
for f~amiliarizing himself with court
procedure, and furthermore, he is
thoroughly honest and trustworthy
which is an indispensable qualifica-

My good friend, DR.. Hugo Summa,

Promptly at the appointed hour, the
car drew up at our residence, took us
in, and swiftly transported us to the
elegant and spacious grounds of the
Doctors summer home. There was
nothing formal in our reception: just
a cordial welcome and ~d-fashioned
hearty hand shake accompanied oul
introduction to the members of the
household. Shortly after our advent
sundry friends and neighbors gathered
in, and when the company vas com

Illuminated with Chinese lanterns
supplemented by electric lights. And
behold, there, under the blue, stal

theatrical manner of the olden time.
