Rogers People Think Talley
Not Guilty.
tFredericktown Tribune.)

The Rogers Democrat has the fol-
lowing to say about the case of W. 4.
Talley, who was convicted for receiv-
ing money on deposit when he knew
that the bank was insolent:
"Mr. Talley was himself the strong
est witness placed On the stand for
defense and 80 favorably was the inn
preston that scores of our people ex-
pressed the belief that he would be
cleared. He answered all questions In
a clear cut direct manner.
"Mr. Talley's contention was that
the trouble that finally brought about
the ruin of the bank dated back be-
yond bis purchase and that the fail
ure to realize on the papers guaranteed
by the Felckers, together with heavy
Withdrawals Of depositors who had
been influenced by the antagonistic
interests, caused the bank to close
its doors. He said he had been ready
TO close the bank at any tinae upon
directions from the state banking de.
partment, and felt that II had beer
conducted in compliance with It's or
dere.
"He admitted that dummy note,
had been used In b~olsterlng up the
past due accounts OF the Apple Bolt
Land o., hoping that a settlement
might be secured OF them.

Obituary.
tDe Soto Republican,

(De Soto Republican,
Otis Mortimer Munroe was born on
January %, 1857, in the city of
Brooklyn, and died in st. Johns
Hospital, st. Louis, on April 8, 1915.
aged SO years, 2 months and IS DAYS.
Funeral services were held last Sum
day at st. Rose of Lima Catholic
Church in this city and the remains
laid to rest in Calvary cemetery. Ov-
er 1000 persons attended the funeral.
This alone testiies to the high esteem
in which he was held by the people of
the community.
Mr.. Munroe was always a very
active mar and had to do with the
development of De Soto for the past
80 years.
He was educated at Columbia Uni
versity, New York City, and GRADUATE
ed as a mining engineer in 1879. For
six years he followed mining in differ
emit parts of the United States and
canada.
In 1885 he formed a co-partnership
with George Blackwell and established
the Jefferson County Bank, the old
est bank, with one exception, in
Southeast Missouri. This bank he
conducted until his death.
He united in marriage to Miss Mary
Ann Blackwell, daughter of Judge
Bakewell of st. Louis on October Is,
1885, and to them seven children were
born. They are VIM. Otis, Robt. B.,
George B., J. E., Edward DeLaven,
Mrs. John L. Boland of Webster and
Mrs. Fl. E. Miller Of Festus. There
are also five grandchildren.
The deceased was a member of
the Knights of Columbus, Knights of
Pythias, Elks, A.. 0. U. W., and De-
gree of Honor, and was state treas
urer of the Knights of Columbus. He
was also connected with the electric
light and telephone companies of this
city.
Mr.. Munroe was taken sick in De-
cember, 1918, and gradually grew
worse until death relieved him. He
was a good man and will be sadly
missed by a host of friends here. He
was enterprising, and did much for
the betterment of the community in a
financial way, and was always ready
to help those in need of help.

DR.. w. G.. Patton for Congress

(Cape Girardeau Daily Tribune.)
DR.. w. Q. Patton, the we'll known
surgeon, will be a candidate for Con-
gress against Joseph j. Russell next
year, if the plans of his friends are
successful. A boom has alrea dy been
started for the popular physician, and
it is gaining momentum daily.
He was urged to make the race four
years ago, but close friends of Con-
gresham Russell induced him to keep
out of the contest. They assured the
Cape surgeon that Russell would not
seek reelection again. He is still in
Congress, however, and has expressed
his intention to make another race,
if he did not decide to join the mara
thon for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination.
DR.. Patton is we'll known through
out the district and has a host of
friends in both parties, although he
breaches the faith born of him who
sleeps at Monticello.
DR.. Patton was elected Mayor OF
Cape Girardeau several years ago,
and made one of the best executives
The city ever had. He has taken an
active interest in politics for many
years, although he mas never sought
political preferment. He has been
one of the most liberal contributors TIC
the Democratic party in this section
of the State and his friends believe he
would be one of the strongest men the
Democrats could nominate next year.
DR.. Patton last night refused to de.
ny or confirm the report that he wonlc
make the race. "My friends have
been urging me to do SO for a Ions
time, but I have not given it much
consideration. There is plenty OIL
time left for me to think the matter
over. l did have a desire to seek the
nomination a few years ago, however
but l gave way to Mr. RUSSELL"

Of the disease is the most infectious.
The bacillus that is believed to aus

the first week Of the paroxysmal. or

to be no necessity for the child to be
kept in the house for more than a
week after the whoop appears"
Doctor Luttinger says physicians un-
