s1n0On WAITING For HIM

The fate of John Jewell is a mys-
terry that has deepened since the death
of Thos. Jewell, an aged bachelor,
near Clapper, recently. If he is living
he is entitled to a large share in the
Thos. Jewell estate, since he would
figure as the only surviving member Of
his brother Toms family. He left
Monroe county many years ago for
the West. All efforts to locate him
have failed. Nothing has been heard
from him since he went away. His
strange disappearance was recalled
last Thursday when John R. Burch, of
Cape Girardeau, came to Paris in com-
pany with Attorney Roy Meriwether to
institute suit for the partition of the
Thos. Jewell estate, consisting of
$50 acres of good land near Clapper.
Unless John Jewell arrives to assert
his rights before suit is settled in the
| Circuit Court his continued absence
and silence will be taken as evidence
that he is dead and the entire estate
will be divided among Uncle Toms
nephews and nieces.
After the debts are paid off about
$4,000, it is thought, will remain for
division. -- Paris Appeal.

BOOZE, POWDER AND BALL
MOberly Man Fires Two Shots Into
Mothers Body.
(Moberly Monitor.)


"She was trying to kill me. 1t is her
bun. l took it away from her and shot
her to keep her from killing me-" That
was the explanation Ernest Roberts
gave reporters for having fired twice
at his mother, Mrs. Andrew Roberts,
as she fled from her home on North
Sturgeon street Wednesday night.
Both shots took effect, one entering
the woman's side, the other shattering
her arm.
The shooting occurred when Mrs
Roberts reprimanded her son for get
ting drunk. He had been arrested in
the evening and was in Jail. His wife
and mother came to the city hall and
induced Chief Hinton to release him
until morning, when they promised
that they would have him appear in
court to answer to a charge of being
intoxicated.
The trio went to the Roberts home
on Sturgeon street. There, is is said
Mrs. Roberts reprimanded the young
man for drinking. He became enrag.
ed, grabbed a revolver, and, as the
woman ran screaming from the house
fired at her. She fell. He fired again
Then according to the officers, Rob.
erts and his wife walked out to the
PROSTATE form of the mother. eff she
amt dead, I've a notion to shoot hei
again." Roberts is quoted as saying
Roberts wife stopped over and felt Of
the woman's pulse. "She's gone" i!
said to have been her remark. "Let'l
leave"

BELOW FREEZING IN KANSAS

TOPEKA, Sept. 30. - Freezing
weather was general over the north
ern half of Kansas and killing frosts
were general in Northeastern and
Southeastern Kansas this morning.
Only the extreme southern section Of
the State was left without a heavy
frost that caught everything green
iand stopped the possibilities of a sor-
ghum crop.
Not since 1888 has there been freez-
ing weather so early in the season.
On Sept. % of that year there was a
killing frost. 1t was two days later
this season. The freeze today is
more than two weeks ahead off the av-
erage date for a killing frost and
there have been years when there was
no frost damage until November.
The late vegetables were killed, but
this was only a small damage. The
late crop of alfalfa, which was max
ing a wonderful growth following the
recent rains, has been damaged con-
siderabIy and must be cut at once
The sorghums, held back for s weeks
by the drought, were going good and
the grain was setting on in fine shape
when the freeze came. They will
make a fine crop of forage but little
grain.
There was a light ice in exposed
places throughout the northern halt
of the state and a killing frost even
in protected spots. In the southeast
corner of the state there was no ice
but the frost caught everything moi
protected.

TOWNS SPEND MONEY.

TOPEKA, Oct. 2. - Kansas cities
spent more than u million dollars in
improvements in September. In the
month the State Auditor registered
municipal bonds totaling $774,891.-
76. Of this amount $251,241.66 was
spent for new paving and sewers
New school buildings costing $146,200
were paid for and $11S,50O was spent
in paying for electric light and water
works plants, new city halls and
county buildings. This makes a total
of $515, 941.66. Much of this was on
ly partial payments on the work, as
the bonds are often issued as the i'm
provement is being made and the con-
tractor paid a part Of the cost in mon
thly estimates. The remainder of the
bond issues are for refunding.
