Sam Doss and Constable Trask ar
rested him, he went with them to the
place where he had left the revolver
and got it from under a porch.
George is Bulgarian and is about
25 years old. On the stand he claim
ed that he didn't know what he was
doing, and that when he "came to
himself" he was home, distance of
two miles from the scene Of the dou-
BILE murder. Some of the witnesses
for the defense, who were foreigners,
ALSO testified that he acted funny,
but if a defense of insanity was in
tended it was a very weak attempt,
and it is said that a number of doc
tors who had been subpoenaed for
the defense to prove insanity con-
cluded that sufficient showing had
not been made to warrant such tes-

offset this, showing that he had beer
convicted three times during the past
two years, once for carrying conceal

highway.
We understand that five Of the ju

the first degree. Motion for new
trial was filed, which will be taken VI

month, when the charge against hin
for killing his wife will also probabl.

MENT FOR KILLING
WIFE PENDING

The trial of Steve George for the
murder of Ferd Polite on last Labor
Day--at which time he also killed his
wife-closed last Saturday night in
the Circuit Court, the jury bringing
in verdict of guilt for murder in the
second degree, assessing his punish
ment at 80 years in the penitentiary.
Judge Dearing presided at the trial.
George and his wife had separated
and he had some time previous to the
murder filed divorce proceedings
against her for alleged infdelity. Mrs.
George, with Mrs. Kate Turner, Perry
DeWarren and Homer Wilkson, had
gone to Desloge in an automobile from
Elvins about $3.50 p. m. on Labor Day.
The evidence on the part of the State
disclosed the fact that George saw
thm leave, and Immediately hired a
machine and followed them to Des-
loge, armed with a revolver, and
hunted up the party. He found them
little way from the grounds or
which picnic was being held, and be-
! gan firing, killing both his wife and
polite.
George left the scene of the shoot

grown-ups, no doubt, have never had
the opportunity to see one Of these
olden-time practically antiquated,
machines which were in those days,
as much a household necessity as sew
ing machines are today.
When the st. Louis and Iron Noun
tain Railroad commenced to arrange
to build the Belmont branch from Bis
marck to the Mississippi River, this
town refused to vote a subscription of
stock, and as a. partial measure Of
retaliation the branch road was To-
Gated as far as possible from Farm
ington. even thought it would have
been much to the interest Of the road
to have passed through Pennington;
but instead It was built two and one
half miles away, passing through an
unsettled waste at that time, where
DeLassus now stands. The railroad
had plat of DeLassus laid out and
town started there, and it was hop
ed that a nice city would grow up
there, resulting in transfer of the
business to that point, thus injuring
Pennington, but this did not eventu-
ate, as Pennington has been more
prosperous than ever before.
The first banking institution to be
established here was founded in 1887
with A. Parkhurst as President and
M. P. Cayce, cashier. 1t had an orig
inal capital stock Of S5,00O.O0.
In 1860, just prior to the general
election of that year and just short
while before the beginning of our
great civil war, Nichol, Crowell &
Shuch began the publication of The
Southern Missouri Argus. in support
of the Douglass Democracy The
months just prior to that election
were hot ones, there being four polit-
ical parties, each having its nominee
for President Of the United States
and each holding a different view of
the great issue at stake in the con-
test of that year, namely, slavery.
Nichol was from Kentucky, Crowell
from Massachusetts and Shuck was
native of Missouri Early in the
next year, 1861, they, having lost,
sold out to Joseph J. Brady, who run
the paper as the Missouri Argus un-
til 1865, when he transferred it to his
sons, ]. j. Brady, Jr., and S. B. Brady
One or two yaais IA they changed
the name of the paper to the Farm
ington Herald, and in 1872 removed it
to DeSoto. Wash. Hughes started
the New Era at Libertyville in 1871
but soon moved it to Pennington,
where he continued it until about
1876, when he sold it TO George w.
Harrington. Harrington sold to Tode
Roussan, who changed the name of
the paper to the Reveille, and after
! publishing the paper for several
months he sold out and the plant was
removed to one Of the other Southeast
towns.

Editor Ilmes-Republican: While /
read very many editorials in your pa
per that seem to be just and fair as
well as strong and well put yet there
are sometimes especially pat ones that
emphasize facts that ought to be
brought to the public notice and about
which the current OF public thought
and action ought to be changed. The
brief article in last nights issue on
Pioneer Ladies" strikes me forcibly
The abuse of that word lady by the
vast number of people that ought to
know better calls for a check and q
reformation. Then that other article
recently CT G-aaaSio::hhsT Il q"
brought me back to my younger days
when just such capable woman dis
pensed her capabilities in and from
my own home And farther back yet
to my own old Scotch Irish grand
mother in New Hampshire. who. as the
mother Of fifteen children, on the old
farm on the rocky mountain side, had
to be capable and efficient. Thank you
for these two word pictures and many
others. Probably you will glance over
this and heave IL into the waste basket
and wish that folks wouldn't bother
you and waste your time with useless
matter of this kind. But felt so good
over it that couldn't help speaking

BRING STATE BANKERS IN.

Bankers Forgan and Reynolds at a
dinner in Des Moines outlined changes
in the federal reserve banks which,
would make the reserve association
Sufficiently attractive to bring state
banks within its protective alliance
and incidentally their activity has
justified the hopes of the friends of
the reserve plan.
1t was predicted at the time of en-
actment that if there were faults in
the federal reserve association the
bankers in charge would soon find it
out and remedy them. The national
banks Joined because they were com
PEELED to. That seemed altogether too
harsh method Of instituting reform
but there is still very large doubt as
to whether we could ever have had a
federal reserve association without
compulsion at the start. Constitutional
timidity and chronic conservatism
among bankers had prevented all prog
ress and reform in the American bank
ing system from the time of the civil
war to the present democratic admin
istration and it was believed. not with
out reason, that good as the medicine
was the child's nose would have to be
held while taking,
Now that the reserve association has
proved it's worth and bankers are will
ing to go forward with it the plan
should be so Hberalized that all bank
ers would rather get in than to stay
out. If we are to have the benefits of
vast mutual protective association
among banks we should have all state
banks with US for strength. Let the
state bankers get together and out
line to the officers OF the federal re-
serve association what will have to
be done to make the reserve associa-
ton attractive to them. Let those
officers then weigh and approve and
then let congress legislate upon the
recommendations. Putting an end to
needless money panics, levelling rates
of interest, making surplus capital in
one locality available for business in
other localities and the development OF
international banking which shall en-
able the United States to engage in
international business are all SO i'm
portant as to make the state banker
who holds out against all desire to get
into the reserve association look like
an old fashioned three cent piece be-
fore the eyes of the nations business
men.
