vile, Mo. Mr.. Shippey ranked
among the best newspaper men
and writers in the state and still
enjoys that distinction.
John Warden a fourteen year
old son of ]. T. Warden near
Brunswick had a narrow escape
with his life Monday. He and
a younger brother were hauling
lumber to a barn which was being
repaired. Johnny was driving
a mule team. A worthless cur
jumped from out the weeds long
side the road and frightened the
mules and as they ran and kicked
at the wagon he fell forward onto
the double tree and was dragged
some distance before he fell be-
tween the running mules and
dropped under the wheels of the
wagon which passed over him.
No bones were broken but his
chest was badly crushed and bad
bruises on his body and limbs
sustained. He was lucky to get
out of it with no worse result.
Worthless dogs should be skinned
to make them worth any thing
and skinning alive played out
when food conservation was adj
opted.

city, but when two men with
large experience in life and a
knowledge of the tricks by
which a man is separated from
his coin with nothing but trou-
BILE and worry in return are VIC
Tins of a game of confidence,
consolation is afforded those who
know thev are unable to pro-
tect themselves under like cir
cumstances. Usually the con.
fidence man is hard to detect
until he has made off with the
cash but the ear marks on all
of them are the same, that is,
they offer too much for too little.
In the case of which we write
however, there was little extra
inducement to deal withhim rath-
er than the regular dealers, but
the personality of the man, his
obvious fairness and perfect
willingness to be tried out in
any way a prospective victim
might choose to name were sim
ply irresistible, not only to the
two citizens of this city. but to
hundreds of others from differ
ent parts of the U. S.
In the Kansas City Star some
weeks ago appeared the ad of
one Reed who proposed to sell
an automobile of any brand to
whomsoever wished to purchase
and he, Reed, led the reader of
the ad to believe, that he, could
be of much advantage to him,
the prospective purchaser, if.
the opportunity was given.
Will Moore, our hustling grain
dealer, wanted car. He saw
the Reed ad. He went to see
Reed and saw him. What is
more, he saw a man who in all
respects resembled a most up
right, square dealing, handsome
and prosperous business man.
He and Reed did business with
out a hitch and Moore came
away with a contract for an
Oakland Sensible Six, an agree
ment to be furnished the car on
or before Dec. | and a receipt
for 5000 which said sum Moore
then and there paid to said Reed.
Likewise DIR. Northcutt wanted
a car. He also saw the ad and
Reed He contracted for a
Henry, got his agreement for
delivery and receipt for $lOO
which he paid to Reed. Doc !
also beat Moore to it by secur-
ing an assurance that he should
have his pick out of twenty Tin
Lizzies which Reed said he had
due to arrive in Kansas City by
the first of Dec. Doc also made
a better trade than did Moore in
the further particular Of getting
a discount on the car he pur-
chased. Reed letting him have
the Henry for $410 when every
body knows they are hard to get
at $425. These grrcious and
material concessions are to be
accounted for on no other theory
than that Reed was out talked
by the habitually reticent vet.
But not hearing from Reed at or
near the time agreed upon be-
tween them. Doc boarded a fast
train for Kansas City to inves-
tigate. He didn't start soon
by several days. Reed

in Russian Change

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Thc
overthrow of Russian autocracy was
accepted I'm all quarters as complete
victory for the anti-Gcrman sentiment
i'm the empire, removing virtually all
chance of Russia being drawn away
from her allies into a separate peace.
The sensation created by the news
of the successful revolution, the turn
ing out of the ministry and the arrest
of pro-Germaus was followed by an
other more profound when press dis
patches announced the abdication of
Emperor Nicholas The revolution
was not wholly unexpected and before
noon today the state department re-
Cciyod mcager official Information
about it from Petrograd. But the
abdication OF the emperor was dum'
founding to both official and diplo-
matte circles.
1t had been assumed that in belief
that the emperor. influenced by his
German wife and pro-Teusonic ad-
viscrs was lukewarm or worse IN the
support of his allies he would be peg
mittcd to continue nominally as tile
head of the new government. Neither
officials nor diplomats could under
stand what the revolutionary leaders
expected to accomplish by shifting the
crown.
According to one usually well in
formed diplomat the grand duke
Michael AloXandrovitch. proclaimed
regent. has been "A bitter personal
antagonist of the emperor since the
latter refused to recognize his mar
rage TO divorccc some years ago
Moreover. the grand duke is said to
have opposed the emperor on every
public question that has arisen.
