hCCiDENT-ALMOST

Once upon II time--last week--two
dainty maids, Tor was it four) were
finding pleasure driving through the
wide shady dells and parks Of our
splendid little town. Now if there's
anything nicer than driving on our
wide paved streets, and viewing the
magnificent architectural work Of our
stone front buildings, its visiting our
lovely parks, cooling by the lakes,
visiting our various museums. But
this is straying from the subject. as
was saying, the maidens shy, two
in one buggy and two in another, were
managing their wild steeds with the
ease and grace of Ben Hur. Had
they been going in the same direction,
this story would not be-but they
met--met in our crowded fareway in
the same way and the same reason
that two locomotives meet-on the
same track. Each pretty driver said,
Gee" and pulled "Haw"--but that
didn't matter, the noble animals to
the buggies could do no less than run
over each other or take the sidewalk
and when ones foot slipped on the oil
under the other horse, he said, Eek
cuse me, I'll take the sidewalk" and
did so, much to the dismay of the
modest girls. No serious damage
resulted. The buggy of one was
somewhat bruised. but If you'll look
closely. you'll see the street is still
there.

IRONTON HAS 4 FIRE

The old serene factory building in
north lronton, just east of the rail
road station, occupied the last year
and Il half by the lronton Woodstock
Company, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour Tuesday morning. Build
ing and contents We're n total loss.
The structure was erected about ten
yeas ago by the American Serene
Door Company who shortly after
wards sold it to the Continental Serene
Door Co., of Detroit, who are the pres
ent owners Of the property. 1t was n
large building and burned rapidly.
making hot fire, and for a while
ii was thought the station house
would go; but the wind changed op-
portunely and besides breaking a few
panes of glass and blistering the paint
it was not damaged. A couple of tele-
graph poles were burned and tele-
graph communication was knocked
out for several hours. Mr.. Kellogg
tells us that the Woodstock Companys
loss on machinery and stock is $4,000.
No insurance. The origin of the fire
is unknown. John Smith, the colored
mail carrier who looks after the night
trains at the station, says that when
train No. 10 went nprth Tuesday
morning there was no sign Of the fire
A few minutes afterwards he stepped
out Of the depot and discovered that
all of the interior of the factory was
ablaze. He promptly gave the alarm,
but the fire had such headway that
it could not be checked. 1t is n
pretty hard blow on Mr.. Kellogg and
the community sympathizes with him
in his sfortune.-Ironton Register.

rREDERICKTOwN AGAIN
SUFFERS LOSS BY FIRE
Three Homes Destroyed in Blaze Last
Tuesday Night-Fire Bugs
Work Suspected

Tuesday night about one o'clock
when the town was in it's deepest sleep
the residence of DR.. Sheata, was dis
covered wrapped in flames. In n very
short aime the Taylor property on
the west and the kistner property on
the east were also in flames and it
was only by fight in the face Of al
most unsurmountable odds that the
house where Mr.. Kissner lives was
saved. The whole roof and side were
almost charred as it was.
The origin of the fire may never be
known. Mr.. Sheata and family had
been visiting in Bollinger county since
Sunday, and even before that he had
had no fire about the place for sew
eral days. Mr.. Leggett, who lived in
the Taylor house, was awakened a
bout one o'clock by the horses in the
rear making a noise. He says the
fire evidently started from the floor
of the house. Several reported smell
ing coal oil, but that may or may not
be mistake. At any rate the whole
structure was mass of flames when
help arrived.
Efforts were at once made to give
the alarm, but it was nearly an hour
before central could be raised and all
three houses were already fired. Ev-
cry article of furniture in the Sheata
home burned. Practically everything
in the other two were saved.
We are informed that Sheata car
reid $500 on the house and $500 on
his furniture. There was also $500
policies on each of the other two
houses.
The consensus of opinion is that
the fires were of incendiary origin.

Last Sunday at the eleven o'clock
hour the Children Day Exercises was
given, which was enjoyed by every
one present. The program consisted
of vocal. and instrumental music and
recitations and each class from Begin

mic was held on the st. Francis near

some stayed at home on account of
the cool weather those present had
a dandy" time. After the usual and
unusual good things to eat the after

while others sat around the fire and
talked.
Tonight the ladies missionary so

ing for the new pastor. While the

they can secure the services Of so

SIX ESTON GOES DRY
BY MAJORITY OF l73
Our People Decided to Rout the Drunk
ard tuesday and They Did II
Good Job, Each Ward Voting
Against Them

The great issue before our people,
the important question of whether
Sikeston shall be dry, moral town or
wet immoral one was decided at the
polls last Tuesday and their verdict
was easily reached, that they can't
afford TO pay thousands of dollars
each year to keep up lot of saloons;
neither can they afford to keep an
evil right in their midst that is daily
wrecking homes, running young men
and bringing disgrace upon many in
nocent parties. Each Ward went
dry, the following being the correct
vote:
Ward No. dry vote, 127; Vets,
81. Ward No. 2-Drys, 1888; Vets,
105. Ward No. 3--Drys, 72; Vets. 60.
Total dry vote, ass; total wet vote,
3l2. Dry majority, l73.
Several drys were away and did not
get to vote. Perhaps there were a
few vets who did not reach the polls.
The drys were thoroughly organized
and about 100 dry men stayed up all
night Monday to watch any crooked
moves of the vets. Three or four
hundred of Sikeston's good women
were on the streets about i:30 watch
ing the vets, so that they had to do
their work fair and square. These
good women congregated in numbers
and watched every saloon, every
secrete hiding place and followed up
every wet worker all day long TO
prevent them from using the unlimit-
ed supply of beer, whisky and money
they had on hand to buy votes Sew
eral lots of booze We're located and
taken away from the wet branch
liquor agents, while others were
threatened with arrest for attempted
violations. The women did the best
work that has been accomplished in
Sikeston and to them, for preventing
the vets from buying the election,
should the most credit go for putting
SikeSton dry. When the vets saw
that all their moves for using booze
and money freely were blocked, they
felt like kicking themselves, going out
in the woods and hide and cussing Il
blue streak. This was something
they had not in the least expected.
They were at the mercy of the law;
the election had to be fair and Of
COURSE the result was against them.
The men worked faithfully all day
too, and did effective work in all lines
in clean, legitimate way.
The last saloon license will cN-
pire December /. One saloon has al
ready gone out Of business and three
or -four will expire in September and
one in November.
Since there has been from $4,000
to $4,000 spent every year with the
saloons for stuff that will wreck and
ruin any man who tinkers with it long
enough the business Of al merchants
will be greatly increased after the
saloons go out, because large per
cont of this money that is being
thrown into the gutter will go to buy
provisions, shoes. clothing, etc.
The Herald editor will give $5 in
cash to every merchant in Sikestou
who can prove that his business has
not increased after the great murder
mills have been closed down one year.
There is also $1,000 bond to guar
antcc the enforcement Of the local
option law and prevent sale Of booze.

Peers received a telegram from his
nephew, Val Peers, of Gainesville,
Texas, to the effect that Mrs. Cally
Peers, formerly of Pennington, but
late Of Gainesville, had passed away
at her home there. She had attained
the advanced age of more than eighty
five, and of late years had been some
what feeble. II Is supposed that the
weight of her age was the principal
cause of her demise. The message
gave no particulars as to the disposi-
ton of the remains. 1t is supposed,
however, that the interment will be
made at Gainesville.
Mrs. Peers was the widow of V. c.
Peers who passed away many years
ago. She resided in Pennington up
to about twenty years ago. when she
removed to Gainesville where her son
resides. The only child and son, Val

BISMARCK'S SALOONS CLOSE

1t is reported that the two soloons
at Bismarck closed their doors last
Saturday. those having them in charge
being unable TO get enough signers
to enable the securing of n dramshop
license. II the people of Bismarck
did not want saloons in their midst,
it would seem that they had chosen II
quiet way of getting rid of them
So far as it is known there has been
no fight, fuss or fuming about the
matter, and the city of Bismarck will
move along as before with the ex-
ception that it will be minus the thirst
parlors. If the people of st. Fran
co.'s county as whole do not want
saloons it would be so much better il
the eliminatin of them could come IL
