Quarterly Court
Finished Business

The quarterly session of county
court was completed Monday after
noon. There was nothing Of unusual
interest to come up at this session,
and the appropriation docket was
about the same as usual.
The next quarterly session will be
the first Monday in January, and
there win doubtless be some interest
ing contests at this next session.
There are several important positions
to be filled, and if we are correctly
informed, there win be several appli-
cants for the various positions. APP
plicants are not allowing their can
didacy to be known just at the pres
ent time, but there will be some sur
prises sprung upon members of the
court before the converting Of the
ne quarterly term.

A cure from local applications Of

FIRE AT PENITENTIARY
Laundry and Shoe Shop Damaged
Loss Ia Million Dollars.

Jefferson City. Jan. 23.---Fires, be-
licvcd to have been set by convicts,
destroyed one of the largest shoe fac
tories and the laundry at the state
pcnitentiary early this morning.
= The loss to the state will be about
~ 444illieH ee,lllltaf ee,lllltafs 5, AS eaf the
prison officials can estimate r.
There was no insurance on the build
ings, but the contents OF the shoe fac
tory were protected and the state will
recover from this source enough
money to make good the loss on the
machinery.
Every prison official is OF the
opinion that the fires, for there were
several OF them, were set out by con-
victs. The first fire was discovered
in the laundry about I a. m. 1t was
extinguished without much difficulty
and then second fire started in the
basement of the shoe factory. By this
time the city fire department was
called out, and after extinguisl1ing the
second fire it was discovered that two
of the three stories OF the shoe factory
overhead were on fire in several
places.
One hundred and sixty convicts
were employed in the shoe factory and
nineteen in the laundry. The factory
is known as No 8, or the Parker fac
tory. 1t was operated by the state.
Only yesterday large shipment of
leather was received and thcre we're
heavy orders for shoes in from Chi
cago and other Eastern cities. Only
one roll of sole leather was saved.

ONE-HALF CLAIM EXEMPTION
General Crowder Reports II Per Cent
of Pleas Granted.

Washington, Jan, 23.-Fifty out OF
every 100 persons, whom the United
States designated as subject to pos
siblc draft into the army of the Unit
ed States to fight in this war claimed
exemption, according to recent re-
Crowdcr. The report says:
What proportion Of persons made
claims of exemptions or discharge?
What proportion of their claims were
granted?
The first of these inquiries effects
the popular willingness to serve at
any sacrifice The second inquiry in
wolves both the popular willingness
to make groundless claims and the
boards laxncss or overstrictness in
granting or refusing them. The fig
0res are:
Relation Of persons called to per-
sons making claims. &
1. Total persons called, 3,oS2,o4o.
2. Total claims made, I,56o, SO;
ratio to called, 5o.62.
3, Total claims granted, 1,215,o4o;
ratio to called so.41.
4. Total claims made to local
boards, I,+1o67S; ratio to called, 1905. |
$ Claims granted, I,I6I ,2oo; ratio |
to called, 37.67.
6. Total claims made to district
boards, I4o,So2; ratio to called, 4.57.
7. Claims granted, 53,8+3; ratio to
:alled, LA.
Thus it appears that 50 in every
90 persons called made claim of
exemption or discharge
1t appears that for II in every 100
persons claiming the claims were
l. c., for e in every 100 the
laims were either groundless or were
uledaupon overstrictly by the boards.
1t further appears that the state
aving the highest percentage Of
laims granted was Connecticut, and
he lowest was Mississippi. /

NEW BANK OFFICIALS
Wesley Denton Succeeds ]. r
jenkins as President Of the
Peoples Bank.

At a recent meeting of the board 81
directors of the Peoples Bank the
resignation OF ]. R. jenkins, the pres
idcnt, was rendered and reluctantly
accepted by the board. Mr.. Jenkins
has been actively engaged in the
banking business in this city for more
than thirty years and has been the
president of the Peoples Bank since
its organization in August, 1908.
Wesley Denton, who has been cashier
of the bank for the same length Of
time and who was the leading spirit
in its organization, was advanced to
the presidency
The new president is thoroughly
equipped for his new position as the
head of one of the leading financial
institutions of this city. He is con-
vcrsant with the banking business in
all of its branches. Commencing
many years ago as clerk, he has, be-
cause of his energy and integrity,
been advanced from one position OF
trust and responsibility to another
until now he has reached the presi-
dcncy of the institution with which
he has been identified since its organi-
zation. and which owes mitch of its
success to his popularity and business
ability. He enjoys the confidence not
only of the officers of the bank but
of the business men and farmers of
the community to marked degree.
He is cordial and pleasant in his in-
tercourse with the patrons of the
bank and with the public generally, |
and his advice on financial matters is
always freely given.
The new cashier is Frank L. Gench.
who formerly was the head of the
Gench Brothers hardware company,
of this city. He is first-class busi-
ness man and will add sto the popu-
larity and standing of the bank.
Otto Sunderwirth and Paul Shelton,
the tellers, are young men of sterling
worth and have bright futures in the
business world before them. Helen
Stith is one of the most popular per-
'ons connected with the institution
md her books are always neat and
5crfectIy kept
While the Peoples Bank is little
ess than ten years old. it has come
o be regarded as one of the strong
financial institutions in this part of I
he state, and its new officers expect /,
o see the business expand greatly
With the new year. I
