MONTEZUMA TALES
(NO.2)
mo. p

lBy j. McGee Burdge Golden City. Mo- ]
About five miles north of Montezuma,
at the northwest corner Of the big Reser-
voir. was Celina the county seat of Mer-
Ger county. In the days Of which l write
the west bank Of the Reservoir was rath-
er a rough proposition. The banks to the
east and west were built as retaining
walls and were so wide on top that they
were used as public highways. On the
lower side Of the west bank were numer-
Gus "squatter's shanties" ana many Of
these were occupied by men of the rough
est class, drinking and gambling and the
worse htings that go with such life was
the order Of the nights, and as a blind
they offered fish for sale during the day
time. Their "dens" were the rendezvous
of the worst of the bad men among the
fishers from Celina and Montezuma and
the water and timber rats" of the wood
ed shore on the south of the Reservoir.
One of Montezuma's citizens of an open
hearted and jovial disposition had acqulr-
ed an appetite for drink After his cred
It was exhausted at the bar of the village
he fell i'm with the buns of the west
bank leaving his family to suffer greatly
from his neglect. As soon as the older
children We're able to raise the nets, the
wife and mother succeeded in taking fish
enough to supply their own table and had
some to sell. Thus relieved to an extent
from the duty of providing for his family,
he spent most of his time over on the
west bank. 1t so happened that after he
had been drinking very heavily for a time
and meeting such reverses to his drunk
en- demands he became abusive to his
family. Just about sun down one even
ing, as he was returning home in his
sl1ff from his days carousal, when within
a few hundred yards of his home, he lost
his balance and fell into the water and
was drowned before help could reach
him. Thus dying with his boots on" in
sight of his wife and children, gave the
gossips of Montezuma something to talk
about for many moons.

Until few weeks ago. Miss limerick
who had been staying with Mr.. and Mrs.

engaged to be married: She was strongly
opposed in this, it is said, by her married
sister and very soon after developed
symptoms of insanity, resulting as above
stated Miss limerick comes of an unfor-

and Township Omces Fast
Approaching.

The primary election this year for the
selection Of candidates for places on the
corporation and township tickets. to be
voted upon at the November election.
win be held on the second Tuesday Of
August next. or August 10. The law pro-
viding for the primaries makes IL neces-
sary that the petitions bee Aled az least
sixty days before the primary, which this
year comes on June TO- less than thirty
days from to-day.
Very little stir has been made by the
Democrats or Republicans In this city
over the proximity OF the time for filing
petitions. and the same laxity OF interest
seems manifest In the other towns and In
the townships Of the county Il Is very
likely however that candidates win be-
gin 20 get busy within the next couple Of
weeks.
Governor Willis on the End inst. sign
ed the Cromley bin. which at once be-
came a law. This bin provides that a
candidate whose name Is written on the
primary ballot must receive eight per
cent Of the votes cast before he can be
declared nominated
This provision viii almost make lt nee
essary that the fun corporation and town
ship tickets go upon the primary ballot
by nomination petitions. If the party de-
sires to have fun tickets on election day
This will. therefore, mean considerable
hustling on the part Of the Democratic
Central Committeeman in each Of the pre-
cincts Of the county.
Governor willis last Saturday also
signed the Parrett- Whittemore bin re-
pealing theWarnes tax law abolshing the
office Of the County Tax Assessors after
January 1. 1916. and providing for the ell
ection Of local tax assessors, as under
the old system Of taxtion.
This action which e-creates the old
ward assessors. makes it necessary to
elect these assessors at the comingNovem-
ber election. and candidates desiring
places on the November ballot must there
fore be nominated at the primary in Aug
ust, and should file their petition with

Germany is pilloried before the ma
tions of the world in the completed
note of President Wilson, which re-
plies on behalf of the United States
to the sinking of the Lusitania and
to the submarine attacks on Ameri-
can and other neutral ships.
The word "pilforied" is that used
today by those in the extremely lin
tied official circle who have been
privileged to see the history making
message.
The note, which officials of the ad-
ministration confidently believe will
thrill the American people and salts
fy all those extremists who demand
the instant letting of blood. was to
be dispatched to Berlin sometime to-
night and the full text will be made
public in America as soon as possible
thereafter. The note, early this af-
ternoon, was sent to the state depart
ment for checking up by Counselor
Lansing on all the points of interna-
tional law involved.
Drafted by the president with a
deep appreciation of the possible con
sequences, the note nevertheless de-
picts Germany as occupying a posi-
ton of repungance before the civil
lied nations of the world. On the
authority of an official who has read
the note it can be stated that Ger
many is informed that nothing she
might or can do will atone for for the
moral wrong involved in the snuffing
out of American lives in the manner
in which these acts of destruction
were committed.
Pictures Military's Maddened Vision
Without any direct threats of any
kind or trace of bluster, President
Wilson has painted a picture of the
recent acts of Germany which he
hopes will correct what he believes to
be, and so characterizes, the distort-
ed and maddened vision of the auto
Gratis of the German military system.
There is no hint in the note, it is
stated of the future course the Unit
ed States will follow should Germany
fail promptly to respond to the com
munication in a spirit satisfactory to
this government and the people of
the United States. That issue, as
has been forecasted in these dispatch
es, is left squarely to Germany.
The note carries no threat of a de-
claration of war. While carrying no
such threat, specific demands are
made on the German empire with no
