Alleged Burglars
 Captured at Alix
Dept. Constable Greeson of Alix Arrests Three
 Men Charged With Breaking Store

Three strangers appeared in Alix last Thursday night and staid all night with the bumper at the railroad track. The follow ing day two of them peddled various articles such as neckties trousers, etc about selling one pair of trousers for p oe nts. They came to P. McCarte's store and wanted to sell them two bushels Of potatoes. They went away to get them and came back with one bushel which Mir. Me Carte bought. They elebought small piece of meat and some canned goods and left.
 The following morning when Mr. McCart went to the store he found tbe door open and between S25 to $40 worth of goods and 100 or 200 pennies, which he left in the register gone.
 Mir. Greeson was notified and went to Spadra and found three men around a fire about a quar- ter of a mile from the depot. He arrested them and took them to AliX and found them wearing some of the clothing. He brought them to Ozark and placed them in jail.
 They were arraigned before Judge Morris Monday morning and gave their names ras Lewis Smith, Jim Norton and Charley Benson. Smith and Norton waived examination. but Benson attempted to prove that he had just happened to be with them at the time of the arrest and that he had been given the trousers he was wearing and which sMr. Me Carte identified as his by a fourth man who escaped. All three were held to await the action of the grandjury.

Rural Rest Room.
Mir. Merchant, Why Not Co. Operate With Other Mer- chants to Provide A
 "Rest Room?

Mr. Village Merchant, real ize that you cant provide these coveniences in your own store, like the merchantile establish ments of the great cities.
 But listen, You and all the other merchants in the town do a volume of business as great as some of the institutions mention ed. Then why not unite and jointly provide these convent ences for the woman of the farms the very best customers you have?
 You are not obliged to deliver goods to your country customers, If your delivery cost is 1 per cent of your gross expense, then credit the 1 per cent on country sales to the Rural Rest Room Fund" Let the merchants all agree to pay a certain sum per month to maintain such a rest room. in the same manner as they support the band or the ball team.

If your town is incorporated let the village council add a bud, get to meet the deficiency, or carry the whole expense.
 Let's have a rural rest room in every village. A large waiting room with comfortable rockers; a large reading table. with books papers and magazines; a couple of cribs in one corner where tired little babies may nap while moth- CT rests; a toilet room; couple of baby carriages. that mother may not be obliged to carry the little one from place to place.
 A place where bundles may be left. and where a matron would be in charge from 9 o'clock in the morning until the stores closed at night. This would trans form shopping in a country viii lage from a task, day of work, worry and inconvenience, to 8 clay of real pleasure; shopping. such as is enjoyed by the ladies of our cities.

Suit of Newlyweds
 Pending

Monday night a strange couple appeared in Ozark and called up County Clerk Bollngsr. from the Bristow Hotel, and had him come down and issue 2 marriage li- cense. They then called up Judge Ford and requested him to come down and perform the ceremony and he courteosly invited them to his home to be married. After the service as he went to kiss the bride he got suspicious and began an investigation which has
 esulted in near claiming to be the groom's son beginning court proceedings to annul the. mar riage on the grounds of imbeciI- ity of the groom and fraud and misrepresentation on the part of the bride.
 It has developed that the bride is very old and this is the first imbecile she has fonnd and therefore her first marriage. The groom is from Polk county, where he formerly held a high position, but his son claims trou- ble has demented him.
