Dear Mother:-
No doubt you have been
worrying about me. Don't do it.
| am 0. K. and in the best of
spirits. Of course it is a little
muddy and it rains all the time.
BY this time you will know that
we were in the big drive. My
company went over the top
about 4 hours after the Infantry.
None were killed, so you see
there is nothing to worry about.
By the time you get this there
will be another big drive and l
hope we will be in it. 1t is great
excitment and lots of fun. Every
time | go into battle it reminds
me of the books we use to read
by George A. Henty. Tell all
the boys at Keytesville that it is
not as bad as it seems. Tell them
to join the colors and then it
won't take long for US to clean
the Hun. Mother, the Germans
sure have waged war in this
country. The towns are wiped
out of existence. Nothing there
but the name.
Will be glad to get back to see
you. l look forward to the day
when we all can be together.
Received Imogene's letter stat
ing that she would be up in the
fall. Glad to hear that you are
better and | know you will enjoy
their visit. Well mother, write
to me often as l need lots of
mail over here to keep from gett-
ing lonesome, Tell Mrs. Garnett
hello and that l still love her.

Fidler- -Brummall

Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur F. Fidler
this week announced to their
friends their marriage which
took place on Sunday, September
29th at Moberly. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Morlin.
pastor of the Methodist church
of this city.
Friends, of course, were not
greatly surprised at the an
nouncement, for ever since Miss
Lucy Mae Brummalls arrival
here early this summer cupid has
been very busy, and friends ex-
pected the marriage as a culmi-.
nation.
The bride is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. G.. Brummall of,
Chicago, but former citizens of
this place, and as member OF
an early pioneer family, has a
large connection in this section.
She is an attractive and vivacious
young woman and Mr.. Fidler is,
to be congratulated in having
won her hand and heart.
Mr.. Fidler's connection with
the postoffice as assistant post
master has given very large
acquaintance. He is in the draft
and is now awaiting his call to
service.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fidler are at
present making their home at
L. V. Cobb's east of town. =

Proposed Course of instruction
For All Registrants

4 The Provost Marshal General
conceived the idea of great bene-
fit to be derived from instruct
ing all registrants in army tao
tic, and acting on the idea, re-
qUested that representatives
from counties in this state meet
with an army representative at
Kansas City and familiarize
themselves with the plan. No
appointment of representatives
from this county was made in
time to meet the Army repre-
sentative, but subsequently H.
L. Mann, Blair Miller and T. E.
Edwads were named a board to-
tgether with J. E. Montgomery,
Attorney, R. D. Price, surgeon
and W. e. Whitehouse as Chap
lain, these gentlemen composing
the organization in the county.
Z The purpose of the organiza-
.tiou is to afford instruction in
military tactics to all registrants
the better to prepare them for
entry into training camps when
called, what they have learned
before going to camp saving that
much time in drilling and other
particulars.
Wednesday registrants to the
number of 312 met at Keytes-
vile and were enlighted by ad-
dress from H. L. Mann, Chair
man of the organization, Hon.
R. W. Rucker, Judge Montgom-
cry and Elder W. C.
Whitehouse. The Salisbury Lad
les Quartette rendered some
splendid vocal music.
The county was districted and
leaders appointed. The looking
after negro registrants of the
county will be done by Prof. N. c.
Bruce of Dalton who was ap-
pointed by the board.
If sufficient interest is mani.
tested, an army man will make
trips to the county to train the
embryo soldiers.

Bank of Brunswick to Open Sat-
urday

The new Bank of Brunswick,
organized short time ago, has
a nice ad in the Brunswicker
this week, announcing that it
will open for business on Satur-
day of this week.
While the work on the bank
building is practically complete,
a few minor details remain to be
added, in the way of painting,
decorating, etc. However
the new bank desires to have
share in putting over the Fourth
Liberty Loan, and for this reason
is opening little earlier than
had been intended. The mana
ger authorizes the Brunswicker
to say that all parties who de-
sire to purchase Fourth Liberty
Loan Bonds thru the Bank Of
Brunswick will find them ready
to take care of their wants on
Saturday, October 10.

Whiskey and Quinine VS. Grippe

Whiskey and Quinine VS. Grippe
A large quantity Of whiskey
confiscated from Blind Pigs and
Bootleggers was turned over,
Tuesday, to hospitals in Omaha
to be used against Flu. 1t is
known to a certainty that nearly
all, if not all, army surgeons at
Camps resorted to whiskey and
quinine in their treatment of
Spanish Influenza after thou
sands had died and all new fang
led dry" treatments had prov
en- practically futile. 1t is also
a known fact that since the rem
edy used in 1889 by every physi.
clan who successfully treated by
grippe has been employed in the
present epidemic. disease has
been checked. especially lD army
camps. Three car loads to Great
Lakes training station, two cars,
100 barrels to Ft. Dodge are re-
ported as single shipments and
soldier boys who have been
granted sick leave say they were
prescribed good whiskey and e.
lieved it saved them from the
fray.
Why be tinicky in the face of
facts concerning combating a
fatal disease? If you get the
bug, get you also some booze and
befuddle it until nature has a
chance.

FOUND IN RIVER
Henry BealI Destroyed Himself
Fishermen Discovers Body
Tragedy Closed

Sunday morning about s
O'Clock as John Teitjens and his
son Walter were on their way
down the Missouri river in a
skiff the boy noticed an unusual
object in a small drift on the
north shore and the two pulled
to the drift and saw the bloated
form of Henry Beall lodged
therein. His feet were down as
a result of sand which he had
poured in his trousers after tying
the lower part of the legs about
his ankles. 1t is apparent that
Henry BeaIl, filled with remorse
and fear of the consequences OF
his attempt to murder Miss
Marie Forqueran Monday night
Oct. z by shooting her with 4
revolver five several times, after
jumping over her prostrate form
and supposing she was killed,
ran to the Missouri river, tied
his trousers legs about his ankles
and filled them with sand, filled
bis sleeves with sand, shot him.
self in the right temple with the
revolver he had murderously fir.
ed at the young woman, after
wading to a depth in the river,
sank and remained until the ac-
ton of the water on his body for
three weeks had caused it to rise
in spite of the extra dead weight
and float to the drift where it
lodged.
The revolver has not been dis
covered for evidently when he
fired the shot into his brain he
dropped the weapon and exactly
where he committed the suicidal
act will never be known unless
by accident. The drift where
his body was found is about a
quarter mile above the landing
on the bar and the presumption
is that he went into the river
some distance above the drift.
The body was floating down to
the landing and hundreds viewed
it before the arrival of the Car
roll county coroner. Autos filled
with sight seers from nearly
everywhere were attracted by
the report of finding the body
and a steady procession was kept
up across the bar nearly all day.
Short funeral services were
conducted at the Heisel under
taking rooms in Brunswick by
Rev. Potter, and the remains of
the fortunate young man were
inferred in the City cemetery.
In the pockets of the suicide
was found SLIP in change and a
flash hight and key. If he had
any money in the bank which he
drew the afternoon of his runn-
ing amuck. he disposed of it be-
fore shooting himself unless the
amount was small.

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
The Menace of the Single Tax

this proposed amendment, pre-
suming on our ignorance. They
give ignorance as one of the
chief causes of our rejecting this
single tax outrage. The bait is
the Homestead Loan" feature,
where the state is to loan money
for building homes at 3 per cent
interest. Keep in mind that if
single tax, that is a system where
land owners must pay all the tax,
the tax raised on land is to be
loaned at 8 per cent. 1t means
if you have a farm and | hold a
mortgage on it, you pay all the
tax and / go free, or if you own
farm worth $4,000. 90 and |
own $40, 900. 90 in notes, or cash
or bank stock or bonds, | pay no
tax. Do you think that fair? If
YOU do you may vote Yes" on
amendment No. s.
1t is held out that it will help
the renter. How can you figure
that out, if the tex is raised, how
can you expect the land owner
to make the rent cheaper.
They tell you, that you can
thus own some land or home
of your own," and at the same
time if they will acknowledge
the truth, they will tell you that
this law will stop the sale of
land and drive out land owner
ship. Would you want land if
on that land. tine burden of tax
es on you would compel you to
sell that land? But how would
you sell land without a buyer?
Tied to it, you must stick until
your debts ate You up, or until
you simply abandoned it, which
might be the easier way out of
it. They tell US thatit will make
the folks who own vacant lots
build on them. Suppose it does,
and every business lot, in every
town has a business house built
upon it, do you think all those
houses could find tenants? Sup
pose. they would not, as should
be known by any school boy,
and suppose every residence lot
in every town had a resident
built upon it, rent would sure be
cheap, but all the country folks
would have to move to town to
get them rented or owned at 3
per cent" 1t is very evident we
would see a great rush to town
as farmers would tumble over
themselves to get rid of land.
The deal is being promoted by
those whose wealth is not in
land, but whose wealth under
the law is taxable, and they
would naturally like to escape
from their just share of taking
care of this government. They
would have you pay all the tax
to build roads for their pleasure,
build schools for their children.
support for them all the agencies
of the government for their pro-
lection and bring this country in
to a worse condition than exist
ed under the feudal systems of
long ago. 1t would mean a
money autocracy" in this coun-
try which would be as wrong and
as dangerous as the military
autocracy of Germany.
These promoters are banking
on our ignorance.

sion, but come to the rally at
