Made $1OO A Minute

A St. Louis broker by the
name Of Immer sold $1,000 BUSH
els of May wheat on the opening
of the Board of Trade in st.
Louis Saturday at $1.41 1-2. Al
most Immediately the Exchange
was thown into panic over re-
ports that the Government had
all export of wheat to cease
and that Austria had sued for
peace. Wheat dropped like a
danker of bootleg boozeto$ 81. 81.
fmmer didn't believe either re-
port and bought back the $4,000
for $1.37 1-2. The reports were
found to be false and wheat
scared back toward the top,
clearing the plunger $500 In a
little more than 5 minutes. The
next news of him may be that
he is broke.

st. Louis Bug Hunters

Mrs. E. T. Senseny, a kind of
assistant sub-deputy pure-food
inspector, who has been prodd-
ing around bakeshops and other
places in st. Louis for year or
more on hunt for germs of any
kind from a rat to a microscopic
doodle-bug, has enlisted 50 other
women and this band of pied
pipers are going to clean up the
city generally.
That Mrs. Seuseny has accom-
plished something already, it
doesn't matter much what, no
one can deny, but that she and
her attached bug hunters will
make it uncomfortable for strep-
to-coci of any species, we assert
confidently. In her selection
there appears to be an equal
number of spare and stout ma
irons and Misses, doubtless the
willowy to go in and route the
vermin and germs and en-bon-
point to step on and squash. 1t
may be that regard for the pub
lie health is responsible for this
dangerous as we'll as stomach
deranging undertaking, but we
may be pardoned for scenting in
it a sort of drill to qualify colon
els for suffrage brigades and OBJ
viate further routs such as took
place when mice were scattered
in the line of march of suffra-
gettes at Washington two years
ago.

Add To Jail Population.

A female bootlegger probably
more appropriately a "shoe leg
GER, considering sex, is under
arrest at the county bastile. She
is Geneva Cobb. She is dark and
dusky but is thought to have
been active in prosecuting the
sale of the fiery liquid. She is
held to await the next term of
circuit court. Murphy Wilson
and Theodore Anderson, two
darkies with decent names but
bad reps, are held in the county
Jail for a month and a half or
rather, 45 days. They were first
arrested and held suspected of
obbing a man at Brunswick
but this not being proven salts
factorily, the general charge
of shooting craps was brought
and they felt like they had to
fall into the dragnet and plead
guilty. They were fined $25 and
costs which means that having
no money they had to go to Jail.
This brings the boarders at the
Jail up to seven.

Naming Randolph County

Luther T. Collier, age SO years
a lawyer of Kansas City, visited
Macon recently and while there
told the Macon newspaper editor
of the facts of naming Randolph
county. He said the commission
ers of the state had gone to
Huntsville for the purpose of Sc
lecting a name for the county.
Howard county had been named,
and one of its leading towns was
Roanoke. Roanoke was t h e
name of John Randolph's estate
in Virginia. Randolph had NAM
ed his estate for a beautiful Ind
ian girl called Roanoke. Agreat
many of the settlers about Roam
oke, Missouri, were great admir-
ers of John Randolph, and they
wanted the new county named
for him. For fear they might
run short of votes, the men folks
took their women with them, and
the commissioners at Huntsville
decreed the women might vote
on the naming of the county the
same as the men. Randolph won
by an Overwhelming majority.

Robbed Conductor

John E. Rodgers of Moberly a
Wabash conductor, was held up
and robbed at St. Charles about
z o'clock Monday evening. The
robber got his watch and ten
dollars. The conductor told the
men he could not run the train
without his watch and it was re-
turned to him. He then said
he had to have some money to
get something to eat and they
returned one Of the dollars.

EARLY MORNING THEFT
Bandit Holds Up Two at Sails
bury and Gets $68.3O in
Cash and Pay Check.

For the second time in the
past few years the Salisbury
Wabash station was robbed Mon
day morning by a bandit Zho at
the point of a pistol compelled
the operator and switchman to
hold up their hands and deliver.
They got $68.3O in cash and a
Wabash pay check for over $50.
The robbery occurred about
$50 A. M. The operator, D. o.
o. Gwinn was in the Office with
his brother, who is night switch
man. They heard a knock at
the ticket window in the ladies'
waiting room and thinking some
One wanted a ticket, opened the
window. A gun was thrust
through the window and some
one asked the men to hold up
their hands. Both men complied
with the request.
The next thing the robber did
was to tell the operator to sack
what money he had at once and
to be quick about it and then
hand it to the robber. This also
was done. Then, both men
were backed up with arms ex-
tended while the robber left.
A freight train was grumbling
along the approach to the station
and it is believed the thief got
away on the freight.
The money consisted of about
$40 in cash and the rest in a
check. The check is probably
no good to thief. The affair was
quietly done and the operator
wisely avoided trouble by being
a good scout. He says the pistol
was a 32-caliber and was a cheap
one Of the bulldog" pattern.
He did not see the mans face as
it was in the shadow. There
is no clue to the identity of the
holdup man.
This is the second time in the
past few years that the station
has been robbed. The first time
it was under the agency of Jim
Robinson. Operator Gwinn and
his brother are still on duty and
are congratulating themselves
that they did not give any cause
for war In this country.

THE NEW POSTMASTER
G. M. Applegate Appointed Sat-
urday- Con frmatiOn
is Assured.

In the Sunday issue of metro
politan papers was the announce
ment that the appointment of
George M. Applegate as post
master of Keytesville had been
made Saturday. The appoint
ment goes to the senate for con-
frmation and Mr.. Applegate
takes charge of his office as soon
as he qualities and his commits
sion is issued.
Mr.. Applegate told a reporter
Tuesday that all the notice he
had of his appointment up to
that time was the announcement
in the papers that the appoint
ment had been made. The name
is sent to the senate for confirm
alton and there is no reason to
doubt that the appointment is to
be confirmed and the next post
master will be George M. Apple
gate.
Blanks are sent to the ap-
pointee as soon as the senate
makes confirmation and these
blanks, including bond, etc. are
sent to Washington. When CIV
en- the official O. K. the commits
mission issues and the new post
master takes charge. His de-
putty is to be Herbert Elliott, sod
of Mr.. and Mrs. George N. Ell
lott of this city.
The appointment of Mr.. Ap-
plegate was expected. It had
been rumored for months that
Mr.. Applegate would get the ap-
pointment and for the past few
weeks that Herbert Elliott was
groomed for the job as deputy.
There were two other applicants,
for postmaster Frank M. White
and DR.. J. T. Dewey. ''
Mr.. Applegate succeeds Dan
Holman who ends an incumbency
of nearly nine years. He was
first appointed by President
Roosevelt. His term expired
December 13, 1914 but on failure
to appoint his successor he held
over until Mr.. Applegate qualifi-
ed. The nine years of work
would have terminated April 1.
This makes three months and a
half under nine years for actual
service.
Mr.. Holman has given good
ser ice as postmaster. The
members of his family have
proven good deputies and have
been prompt to attend to the
wants of Uncle Sans customers
and the office work has been
kept up in good shape. Dan
Holman and members of his ia
mily have become almost fixtures
in the office and their familiar
features will be missed by the
local patrons who have transact.
ed business with them for SO
long. Mr.. Holman has not stat

something to say about shapes.
Straight up and down shapes for
ladies are going out. Bumps at
the various points where nature
provides, are to be in evidence
again. Waistlines are to be
raised from half a foot to a foot.
Waists are to be made smaller,
to be squeezed considerably and
made more easily handled by all
who find it necessary. Wasp
waists, these mighty high and
the return to the days of the
Empire effects, are to be the go.
Shoulders are to be narrow and
area around the feet, larger.

Many Hungry Men

There are many robberies. It
believed that much of the steal

need money to get something to
eat. The times are hard and
there are many hungry people.
Hungry men will go the limit
for something to eat and it is be-
lieved that many Of the robber-
les are due to this alone.
