MEMORIAL SERVICES

Sunday memorial services were held
in the VI. E. church and even though
the weather was bad the church was
filled with the people who came to at
tend this service.
About ten old soldiers were present
and they marched into the church car
rying a large American flag.
Special music was arranged by the
choir and that helped to make the ser
vice effective. Rev. J. F. King
preached a very patriotic sermon using
the fourth and fifth verses of the
eighth Psalm as text, "Who is man
that thou art mindful of him and the
son of man that thou visitest him. For
man that thou visitest him For thou
thou hast made him a little lower than
the angels, and hast crowned him with
glory and honour" A.
Many folks said this was the best
sermon Rev. King has preached since
being here. He touched on the vital
questions of the day and very impress
lively brought out the fact that if it is
necessary the Christian people should
be willing to sacrifice for the cause OF
right, as their fathers had before.
The sermon abounded in patriotism
and as the people are brought to think
about war at the present time, this
sermon and the presence of soldiers
of the sixties made them more
fully understand what a memorial
service meant.

WIND AND HAIL STORM
AT PIONEER, SUNDAY

A damaging wind and hail storm
struck Pioneer, Sunday morning. The
wind was a small twister and did con-
siderable damage around that little
town. Tin roofs were blown off,
shingles were torn from roofs, and
trees were blown down.
The most damage was probably
done by hard hail storm, which SER
iously injured the wheat in that vi
cinity. The storm was at its worst at
Pioneer and in the immediate neigh
borhood.

lpRNING TRAIN
KILLS UNKNOWN MAN
keight Crew Finds Man on. Frisco
Right of Way at 1920 Monday
Morning. Probably c. E.
Roberts, of Carthage.

A west bound freight with Conduc-
tor Burns in charge, found the body of
a man beside the Frisco right of way
at 3:20, Monday morning, as they
were leaving Monett. The body was
lying beside the track about quarter
of mile west of the depot. The head
was crushed. &. ~
An east bound train had passed q
short time before but they did not see
the body. He had probably been killed
a short time before being found.
The man was poorly dressed, was
apparently between thirty and forty
years old. In his pockets was found
an assortment of articles, among
which was some tobacco, a miners
lamp a small sum of money and some
papers, The only thing which could
identify the man was receipt made
out to C. E. Roberts at Carthage. A
broken bottle, which had contained an
intoxicant was beside the body. The
officers had seen the man in an intoxi-
Gated condition in town two hours be-
fore he was brought in dead.
Coroner Earl Galloway called jury
together, Monday morning.
Following is the verdict of the cor
oner' jury:
We, the jury, believe after diligent
inquiry concerning the death of, pos
sibly C. E. Roberts, the body Of a man
found one-quarter mile west of Monett
depot on the Frisco right-of-way al
1920 a. M, May %, 1917, came to his
death by being struck by an east
bound train, while he was either at
tempting to board, depart from said
train, or while trespassing on the
Frisco right We also find
through evidence that the man was
under the influence of some intoxicant
as the marshal reported him SO, two
hours before the accident, and which
a broken bottle at the side of the body
verifes.

The Board of Control of State Char itable Institutions still is trying to get Dr NJ. B. Heyman, assistant SUI perintendent of New York asylum at Central Islip, Long Island, to ac- cept the superintendency of the Ar kansas State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, according to it's biennial re- port filed in the governors office. Dr. Heyman refused the boards first of. fer on the ground that the institu- ton was "too largely controlled by politics"
 The report also says that In the boards opinion, neither Dr. Frank B Young nor Dr. E. P. Bledsoe are qual- fled to hold the position.
 Referring to pr. Heyman, the re- port says:
 We were advised by an anony- nous telephone call that certain par ties, together with a former superin- tendent, would try to queer Dr. Hey mans return to the state. We are sure that Dr. Heyman has been ad- yised he would not be retained by the incoming administration We have the matter up with him again and believe that the administration and the state will get behind the mat ter and that We will secure Dr. Hey mans services .
 Some have urged the election Of Dr. H. c. Stinson. former superintend- ent of the institution. Dr. Stinson has been away from the institution for about seven and one-half years and is advanced in years. If he should be elected it would be but a few years until age would retire him This is the reason Dr. J. L. Greene gave for declining to accept the position. We want to repeat that t is no reflection on the physicians of the state when We say that we do not think there is a man in the state who is available at the present time"
 The board estimates that there will be deficiency of about $40.o00 in the fund for the operation of the instt- tuition. The 1915 legislature appro. priated S737.391 for the institution for the biennial period Of this S141.620 was vetoed by the governor. The cost of living during the past two years. according to the report. has in- creased Il per cent, but the institu- tion has been operated with s100010 less than the 1915 legislature appro- priSted for it.
