BRICK WALL COLLAPSED
AT ELECTRIC PLANT
No Power Saturday Until 4:20
p. M. All Business at a
Standstill.

Saturday morning about nine
O'Clock a brick partition wall be-
tween the boiler room and the
engine room at the electric plant
of the Missouri Gas & Electric
Service Co., gave way and so
mussed up things that the town
was without power until late
Saturday evening.
The collapse was caused by ex-
cavating near this wall. Work
men had dug several feet below
the foundation of the wall,
preparatory to the installation
of a new engine. 1t is supposed
that the excavation caused it to
weaken. Several men were at
work in the engine room at the
time but received ample warn
ing in time to escape injury.
The main steam pipe connect
ing the boiler with the engine
was broken, causing the tie-up
of all machinery run by cleo
tricity. AS the gas is made by
electric power, that too, gave
out.
Repairs were completed as
soon as possible, and at about
4:20 the inconvenience was for
gotten, as all hands had plenty
Of "juice."

WAvERLY FOR ROCK ROADS
The Election Wednesday Re-
suited in a Bond Victory.

The voters in the Waverly
Special Road District rolled up a
handsome majority Wednesday
for a $4,000 bond issue for rock
ing the roads in their district.
The vote was 461 to 68, nearly
Z to l. The majority was so
overwhelming as to leave no
doubt as to the sentiment for
rocking the most important road
between Kansas City and St.
Louis.
The Wellington-Napoleon dis
trict recently voted $4,000 for
rocking the roads in that dis
trict, which will give Lexington
an all-year around road into Kan
sas City.
The Dover district will, no
doubt, in the near future call an
election and provide for the ten
miles intervening between the
Lexington and Waverly dis
tricts.

Wentworth Wins Prep-SchOOI
Championship in Sea of
Mud.
INTERESTING GAME
THROUGHOUT
WentwOrth's Goal in Danger
But Once. Teams Evenly
Matched in Weight, But
Wentworth Knew
More Football.

The football classic among the
prep-schools of the state was
played yesterday on the Went
worth field under the most un-
favorable conditions. The
weather man had been acting
right decently up until about
one-thirty o'clock yesterday
when he succeeded in making
himself the most disliked person
known. The rain driven by a
strong wind drove everyone to
shelter and thoroughly soaked
the football field.
When it came time for the
game to be called the field was
ankle deep in mud. The crowd,
which was considerable larger
than one would have naturally
expected, came late. After once
on the ground and the game had
started, the mud was forgotten,
as the struggle was well worth
the sacrifice.
The first half was unproduc-
tive for both sides. Wentworth
received the kick and after
carrying the ball a short dis
tance fumbled. A Kemper man
got it. Kemper then tried her
powers, but failed to make any
impression and had to kick. The
ball then sea-sawed back and
forth, mostly in the center of
the field, through the first quar-
ter and well in to the second
quarter before there was any
anything that looked anywhere
near a score. Late in the second
quarter Wentworth got loose for
a long end run and put the ball
on Kemper's fifteen yard line.
Kemper, however, had no in
tention of being scored on at this
point, and fought the red and
white for all they were worth.
The first half ended with the ball
in Wentworth's possession in
Kemper territory.
After employing the fifteen
minutes between halfs in re-
moving from their shoes, cloth
ing and hair as much mud as pos

sible, the game took on a more
lively aspect. Kemper stopped
the heart beats Of the local root
ers when one of their backs tore
through Wentworth for what
looked very much like a touch
down. He had gotten through
and clear and in mighty strides
was making his way to score and
a possible victory. But, (There's
much comfort in that world
after what seemed a week, a
Wentworth man, Minor by name,
took out after him. Yes, he
caught him on the ten yard line,
and great sigh of relief went
up. Here Kemper lacked
the punch and lost the game.
For soon afterwards, Went
worth worked the ball into Kem-
per's territory and with a long
bounding kick to help, had the
ball near Kemper's goal. Kem-
per assayed to kick; but the kick
was a fizzle and the ball was
downed behind the Kemper goal
line with Kemper man on top
Of it. The referee gave Went
worth a safety and two points.
Score: w. M. A. 2; Kemper 0.
In the fourth quarter things
began to happen. 1t was not
very old when Wentworth broke
loose for a touchdown. Some
thing happened not according to
the rules and the ball was
brought back Wentworth, how
ever, was not to be denied, for
soon afterwards another end run
resulted in a touchdown. The
try at goal was a failure. Score

His third and final talk was before the
children as the third and fourth
grades, where he had planned a one
syllable talk.
Now. children he said, as he be-

With one accord every hand in the
