BOLD ACT OF JUVENILE
Enters Apartment Eouse and Car
ries OFF Nine Dollars, Gold
spectacIes and Knife

Yesterday afternoon a youth en-
tered the apartments occupied by
| James E. Johnson and family on the
southeast corner of Prince and st.
Asap11 streets by opening a window
and pushing back the bolt of the
kitchen door. He began to ransack
the rooms in search of plumber, and
while so engaged his presence was
discovered by member Of the fami-
ily who happened to enter the apart
ment at the time and who gave an
alarm. The youthful housebreaker
rushed from the house and gained
the street before he could be inter-
cepted. A boy was passing on a BIZ
cycle at the time, and he was urged
to follow the fugitive. Upon reach
ing Pitt street the latter rushed into
the alley on the west side of the
street between King and Prime. The
boy who was following was unable
to run his wheel into the alley and
the object of his pursuit soon vanish
i ed.
! Upon taking an inventory in Mr..
Johnston's, room it was found that
nine dollars were missing, 4 pair Of
gold spectacies and pen-l5nife. Mr..
1 Johnston has been making prepara-
eions recently to remove to Chariot
fesville temporarily, where his son,
Frank Johnston, will attend the Uni
5ersity of Virginia. The young house
breaker evidently was aware of that
fact and had entered the house at a
time he supposed all the members
of the family would be absent.
The Police today arrested Will
liam Bergman, aged Is, and Paul
; Hamilton, IA. on suspicion of being
connected with the robbery Of Mr..
: 3hnston's house. They were held for
; future examination.

ANOTHER FALSE ALARM
Need of Fire Alarm System Becomes
More Apparent Daily

That combined efforts should be
made by the city authorities and the
residents of Alexandria towards APP
pretending alarm fiends" who are
! busy at the present time at sounding
false alarms OF fire at all hours Of
he day and night, is apparent, for
every time the city sends out its
ire apparatus in response to such a
cali, it costs about twenty-five dol
lars. Almost half dozen times with
N the past several weeks false alarms
nave been turned in, and all citizens
should make it their duty, pro bono
publico, to see that such lends are
taken into custody, given the maxi
mum penalty for their crime, or else
prevented in their nefarious work,
which, beside 1.-THE Inconvenience to
the fire:nen and the alarm caused TO
residents, is heavy expense to the
city.
This morning, shortly before one
. clock the apparatus was called out
nd dashed madly up King street as
ar as the Emerson Pump Company
works at the head of this thorough
fare, only to find out that the alarm
was false. Numbers of residents were
startled when the brazen tones Of the
fire bells broke the stiffness of the
night.

MONUMENT TO MOSBY
Comrades of Confederate Chieftain
Engaged in Movement to
Erect Shaft

The surviving members of the late
Col. John S. Mosby's command have
issued an appeal for funds with
which to erect suitable monument
TO the memory Of their late COM
mander. They make no attempt IN
.he.r circular to impress upon those
they desire to interest that suitable
monument should be erected to Col.
Mosby. They rightly assume this
should be APPARENT. His history IS
known not only to many who were
contemporaneous with him in the days
IF the war between the states, but
10 many more who have read of his
exploits in later years, and who
made his acquaintance.
The projectors appeal especially
to the women of the south, whose
services have always been invoked
in the laudable movements made
since the close OF the war for perpe-
tuation of the memories of the late
Southern Confederacy and its leaders
military and political.
The suggestion will appeal to the
thousands in the southern country
who have ever been ready to APP
preciate merit. AS has often beer
said by speakers at gatherings Of
.ex-C onfederates, the principles for
which the people of the Confederacy
stood are as sacred now as in 1861
The noble leaders who fought ant
sacrificed their all in unsuccessful
attempts to maintain them have eve
been honored by the people they re
presented, and that Col. Mcsby
should be in this constellation /
acknowledged by ali.

MOTORCYCLES IS FINED
Young Man Pays Five Dollars For
Speeding on North Washington
Street

For the benefit Of all lnteresteu'
it can be stated that persons operat-
ing automobiles and autocycles are
liable to be arraigned in the foiLce
Court, if they fail to observe 'he
city's traffic law, or run their ma
chimes in excess Of the speed allow
ed. Should any one pass over
square running north and south IN
less than "a seconds he or she VIII
be exceeding the lawful speed ana
those passing over those running
east and west in less than IL SECONDS
will be in danger of arrest.
The recent protests which nave
been made against speeding in the
streets has caused the policemen to
concentrate their attention to such
infractions of law, and every effort
will be made to hale those INTO
court who persist in defying the re-
sulations.
Early last night young man was
arrested on the charge OF operat-
.nc a motorcycle on north Washing
ION street at dangerous speed. The
act was committed early IN the
morning, the offender being employed
outside the city. AS he shot nortf
like an arrow the few people on
the thorouGhfare at the time nae
!! their attention called to his reck'
!. .essness. Two policemen were on
;1and and witnessed the act also. II
was impossible for the latter tf
overtake him, SO they waited unit
! he returned to the city after sundo"l
yhen they brought him to the sta
/ lion house. A special session of thu
! Police Court was held and the youn&
! man was fined So. He was told tina
he assessment would be doubled
| rhould the offense be repeated.
The accused in this case is not tn
only offender in the city, but it i
hoped that the action of the authorl
lies will prove sufficient remlnde
70 all others who persist in tempt
: ;ng providence.

Pave stewart Bridge.

Editor the Missourian: Stewart
bridge is approximately $50 yards
long-150 yards of rust, rattle and
danger.
The bridge, during the four years in
which it has come under the surveil-
lance-and feet-of the writer, has
been constantly in need of repairs.
The nature of the structure is such
that this will always be the case until
the planking with which it is covered
is replaced by adequate paving.
The boards composing the flooring
of the bridge have been laid down
with no regard to size, shape or
finish. The unevenness of the surface
makes the bridge dangerous to pc
destrians and exceedingly unpleasant
to those who ride. The bridge is in
adequately lighted at night, adding to
its effectiveness.
There is but one thing to do which
will put an end to the dissatisfaction
which the bridge in its present con-
dition creates-pave it with asphalt

COLUMBIA'S MASTERPIECE

It's here-the month we have been
waiting for.
Sunday was the first day of October
and as if by magic the cold, miser-
able weather of the week before dis
appeared. The clouds which had kept
back the sunshine were driven away
by "October's bright blue weather, -
and all nature burst forth.
October is truly the month of riot
Gus color. Nature is displaying the
sunshine which she has stored up
during the hot summer months.
Touched by October's frost the leaves
have leaped into flaming color.
No artist has yet been able to cap
ture on canvas the scenes which Ma
ture has painted on Boone County
landscapes. The rocks, trees and
sky are taking on an appearance not
seen during the entire year. And it
all lasts but a short month. Soon
the leaves will lose their color, and
the startling contrast Of an October
landscape will fade and pass away.
Students travel hundreds of miles
to view exhibits of great paintings,
but the greatest of them all lies at
Columbia's door.

SUFFRAGE-THE DICTATOR

There was a time when the poll
tician, secure in his party machine,
looked with contempt upon the suf-
fragists-when the influence of wom-
an in national and state politics was
not given a passing thought.
Equal suffrage was blocked every
where. 1t had few sympathizers.
Woman's place was at the washtub.
What right had tickle minded woman,
who could not grasp the ponderous
problems of politics, to dabble in af-
fairs of state? The politicians said
that the women voters would be in
fiuenced by their husbands and that
a box of candy would buy their votes.
So the suffragists began a new cam
paign. They determined to prove that
a strong organization of women would
be a factor in the destiny of the ma
ton. Women's clubs, which had for
merly devoted their time to sewing,
art, music and literature, directed
their energies in civic improvement,
child welfare and increased efficiency
in the public school system. Sue
cessful here, they entered larger
fields. Graft in city administrator
was exposed, and an extensive cam
paign against the liquor interests was
begun.

Needles and pins, needles and pins,
And that's the way her frock begins.

And that's the way her frock begins
Only that is not the way it begins
in these "trying-on" days.
The modern girl has not much ado
with dressmakers-she simply trips
into a shop, where the only question
that concerns her is which thing to
buy, and demands the mode. Never
has decision been so difficult since
our Grandmother Eve set the first fall
styles.
The shops are full of such varied
seductions that it is almost impossible
to say mo" to anything. Each new
display is more charming than the
last so that the final state of the
shopper is worse than the first. Per-
haps before she utterly loses her
head, it is strategic to inspect the
neckwear, and here we find that col
lars have become conservative and are
not so large as they used to be,
although like the Cubists they
still declare for variety of form
round, square and pointed. Georgette
crepe is in high favor, but there are
charming effects in organdie, hand
embroidered or edged with Venice
lace.
With gloves it is another matter
again that irritating war Perhaps
you did not know that we were hand
in glove with Germany before hos
tilities, and now that it is no longer
hands across the sea we are obliged
to rely on France for everything in
kid or for evening wear-and they
say that there is nobody in France to
make them. There is an even rumor
among merchants that silk instead of
kid will have to be popular before
long. Just now a new washable
suede that looks extremely well and
chamois for winter are said to be
quite the thing.
Dresses Awkward and Modest.
In dresses, modesty and awkward
ness still reign, but skirts are more
though still short, they are
not so wide as formerly, and the slim
silhouette already casts its shadow
before in more than one evening frock
with less exuberant lines. Some of
the new silk skirts in Roman stripes
are most attractive, and all the new
Scotch plaids are over the border.
Afternoon dresses have skirts fulled
on to quaint bodices, and sleeves are

EDITOR PRAISES MISSOURIAN AID
Hardware Age Declares 1t Too Attrac.
tive to Pass By.

A large advertisement featuring
household and seasonable goods in
serted in the Missourian by the New
man Hardware Company about four
weeks ago received favorable comment
in the September 21 issue of Hard
ware Age, trade journal.
In commenting on the advertise
ment. the editor says: "Its distin-
gushing feature is its Typography.
The careful selection of type, the nice
ly preserved margins, the fine balance
of type and cuts and the neat sigma
ture cut combine to make an ad that
is absolutely too attractive to be
passed by. The text, while brief, en-
phasizes the salient features of the
items listed. Taken as a whole, the
announcement reflects great credit on
the Newman Company's advertising
man."

FOR THE FUTURE

There seems to be a complete una
nimity on the part of the press that a
big railroad strike would be a dire
calamity, not only to those directly
concerned but to the whole United
States.
What is there to prevent a repe-
tition of the same condition of affairs
preceding the Adamson Bill?
The Supreme Court may some day
declare the bill unconstitutional. A
hostile Congress may reconsider and
modify the bill. The prices of food
and the necessities of life may rise
so high some day that the railroad
employees may consider another raise
in wages necessary. The railroad en-
ployers will fight this demand. as
they have fought every other plea for
higher wages.
Another strike cloud will darken
the horizon. This time it may fall and
the whole country may be in a state
of comparative civil war.
What is there to prevent?
In connection with this question,
the solution given by great Ameri-
can leader four years ago should be
considered. This man suggested what
already exists in some other coun-
tries.
Let us at least carefully take into
account the possibility of government
ownership.
