a T studio tea given last Tuesday
6A by Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Smith to
celebrate the twentieth anniversary of
their marriage quite a collection of
Mr.. Smiths paintings was shown
These comprised portraits of a number
of well known persons, landscapes and
genres. The last were for the most
part done in Holland, and represented
Dutch peasant scenes. These were to
an extent in the spirit Of modern Dutch
art, which was so charming and vet
apparently destined for SO short a life
coming into being and Towering all
within single generation, and then
fading almost into extinction. Under
this influence in Holland Mr.. Smith
painted some of his most meritorious
canvases. picturing with rare sympathy
and feeling Dutch peasant mothers
with their babies, peasant men at work
and little children at play. There is
real art in these paintings as well as
story interest.
For the past two summers Mr.. Smith
has painted at Gloucester, and in his

scenes he has again been fortunate.

Mrs. Smith is best known as a min

pleasing works is to be noted very
charming likeness of the Queen of Hol-

was entering upon her regal duties.

evidenced by history. One of the

c. M. FREEMAN FINDS
A FREAK REPTILE
Says Monster Lizard He Met
on Vacation Will Chase
Men.

{. NJ. Freeman, on his return last
night from the hills surrounding Flat
River, stated that on the day before
while walking through the timber with
his brother-in-law and two small boys,
he came upon the largest specimen of
the Glade lizard that he had ever seen.
Mr.. Freeman explained that the
Glade Lizard is a rare reptile, whose
native haunts are in the lead mining
belt of Missouri. He said that the
head bore a marked resemblance to
the snake in size and proportion, but
that the creature propelled itself by
means of fou: legs.
The top of the body is of a dull
brown color, somewhat notified, but
the sides are OF a deep blue color, dot
ted with numerous bright red spots
about the size Of a pin head.
Mr.. Freeman in discussing the char
acteristics and peculiarities of the ser
pent-like lizard, stated that when an
attempt was made to strike it with a
rock, it would raise its long, pointed
tail high in the air, and with kissing
sound would cash at its assailant.
He says that he has no record of
where any one was ever bitten by one
of the creatures, and neither does he
know of any one standing his ground
when the lizard charged him.
He says that on more than one Oc-
casion he has been overtaken in his
flight from angry Glade lizards, and
while he struggled to outdistance his
pursucr, the reptile with apparent ease
would glide along between his legs and
using his tail as an instrument of tor
ture would administer as thorough a
thrcshing as # the process were being
performed with a hickory switch in
the hands of his irate father. He de-
clared that the fugitive becomes so
terror stricken that he rarely remem-
bers when o: how his pursuer aban-
doned the chase.
He expressed the belief that the
specimen he last saw was more than
four feet in length and stated that it
resembled crocodile more than a
lizard. except that it sped away with
lightning velocity, and was not so
slow and ungainly in its movements
as the alligator or crocodile.

OIL CARS COLLIDE
With LOCAL TRAIN
G. G.. & \. Coaches Skater Ca
bOOse From Poplar BInff as
it Enters City.

Frisco train No. S4S, known as the
Poplar Bluff Local, while entering the
yards in this city yesterday afternoon
vas struck by two loaded oil cars on
the c. q. &; y. with serious effect.
Tn" train carries a passenger coach
lust behind he cab0osc, and the run
away car struck the caboose about mid
way and reduced it to q pile of splin-
tiers.
Doph King. drainage contractor,
who was one of the passengers, re
lated his experience as follows:
Il got on the train at Ranncy's
switch, about miles below the Cape.
! stayed in the caboosc until we got
almost into town.
Tho trainmcn began to change
their clothes at Ranncy's and when We
passed the junction down there the
boys we're about ready to lock up the
cars, and when | asked them if they
wanted to lock up, they said they did,
and ! went back into the passenger
coach The brakcmen went out on
the head end and the conductor walked
through the coach As he reached the
back end I could hear 4 terrible crash
ing.
"WhCn | heard it | grabbed hold of
the scat and braced myself. 1t didn't
Jar me, and as | turned around | could
see the splintcrs flying in all direc-
tons.
Two loaded oil cars on the Houck
track had torn loose ard were sent at
Il terrific speed down the steep incline
toward the Frisco tracks.
when our engineer, Billy Sullivan,
was given thu alarm by the fireman
who saw the runaway cars coming, he
tried to hurry up and pull the train
into the clear, and if he had gone 4
few feet farther the passenger coach
would have been struck, and doubt
less every person would have been
killed.
"Thc ca5oosc is total wreck, and
was reduced t. mass of kindling.
There were seven passengers
aboard ard none of them were hurt.
None of the train crew was injured
except Conductor SpOoncr who had his
face bruised against the coach as he
lcap2d to the ground when he saw that
the crash WIS inevitable. He was in
the act of stepping off when he heard

At a meeting of the members of the
Methodist church. held at the home of
w. T. Tweedy Monday night for the
purpose of electing a president of the
Sunday school, the unanimous choice of
those present and voting was R. E.
Steele, head of the r. E. Steele Grocery
Co, fisherman extraordinary and hun
ter par excellence.
In this case where one cause loses.
another gains. The local colony of
hunters loses its most valiant and dar-
ing member. while the Sunday school
gains brilliant and eloquent leader.
In short speech of acceptance, Mr..
Steele stated that, while conscious of a
certain weakness recurrent every seven
days, which to a certain extent i'm
paired the confidence with which he
would otherwise enter upon the new
duties imposed upon. him (and he said
he used the word imposed advisedly),
he would be proud and glad to con-
tribute the power of his presence, regu-
larly, # nothing more

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Rapid enlarge
ment of stocks, both domestic and for
eign, tended today to stimulate bearish
sentiment regarding wheat. The mar
ket closed nervous, e al to 1G1h net
lower with December at 1925 and May
at 103 Il a Is. Corn showed a loss of a
sixteenth for December but p * adj
vance for May, oats finished un-
changed to Il lower, and provisions
down 71ato 50.
Hurried unloading by owners of
wheat took place as soon as figures
were posted, disclosing a big increase
in the worlds available stock.
Breaks in the price of wheat were
followed by reports that as a result
farmers in Nebraska and the northwest
showed signs of adopting a policy of
holding back consignments.
Corn developed comparative strength,
Influenced by opinions that measured
by feeding value the total domestic
yield this season was but slightly above
the crop of 1914. oats held about

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-CWall Street,
The heavy liquidation which swept
over yesterdays late market was re-
newed with greater vigor today, all
parts of the list scoring new minimums
for the current movement. The decline
gathered increased force from profes-
sional sources, traders in general being
active on the short side of the account.
Foreign offerings were also an i'm
portant factor.
In fact much of the days unsettle-
ment was caused by further pessimistic
advices from abroad.
Final prices were only a trifle above
low levels for high grade securities,
while specialties made only nominal
recoveries. All the activity of the ses-
sion was at the expense of value, trad
ing becoming dull on every covering
movement. Total sales amounted to
1.133000 shares. Some of the extreme
declines were: Studebaker % at 140:
WHY'S Overland &c to 210; General
Motors 20 at $40; Baldwin Locomotive,
4 at 113; Tennessee Copper, at 81,
and Great Northern Ore, at 4615.
Shares in the so-called near" war
class like American Linseed common
and preferred, u. S. Industrial Alcohol,
Distillers securities and American coal
products, lost to points. U. S. Steel
were among the few leaders to show
actual strength at the opening, declined
to 1895 and closed at S47s. at net gain
of 4.
In the railways declines ran from 1
to points, st. Paul. Norfolk and West
ern and Southern lines showing least
resistance. Trading in these issues was
broader than usual. Metal shares
yielded much of their recent advance
although technical conditions in that
industry continued altogether favor
able. Among the railway returns of the
day was that of the Missouri Pacific
system, showing a net decrease of
s273.000 for September.
Bonds sagged, in sympathy, some
speculative issues making apprecia BILE
declines. Total sales par value aggre-
gated S4.745.OOO.
U. S. bonds were unchanged on call
