been the request OF of one his children,
Mrs. Hattie Reynolds of Annapolis, to
chronicle short sketch concerning
his life and death and not pass him
by unnoticed, especially az good an
old man as her father was.
Mr.. Casteel was born near Chatta-
noga, Tenn, June II, 1884, and died
March 26, 1912. He came to Missouri
when quite a young man, and was
well known by many people in and
around Pilot Knob as q collier. He
was married to Martha Lewis in 1858,
to whom were born seven children,
five girls and two boys, twenty seven
grandchildren and twenty-five great
grandchildren.
"Uncie Jim," as he was called, was
II years, 8 months, and Is days old
He was not a man to roam or move
about. He located more than fifty

Travelling Men are Patriotic.

Inotice in the st. Louis Republics
"Letter Box" that Miss Belle Fisher
of Mountain View, says that she
heard that travelling men are carrying
small packages of sugar and using it
at the restaurants and hotels, which
she claims is very unpatriotic.
Now, Miss Lizzie, travelling men are
away from home one to four weeks
and they are allowed , pounds per
month, SO they have a right to bring
part of that on the road as sometimes
hotels can't get sugar l think you
would be more patriotic in joining the
Salvation or Red Cross army, than to

5000 Bank Funds Found in Missing
Treasurer's Safe.

tSt. Louis -Democrat,I
Louis J. kerth, secretary and treas
urer OF the kirkwood Trust Company,
is missing, and an investigation of the
accounts Of the company, begun by
the Board If Directors the day follow
ing his disappearance, has disclosed
discrepancies in his accounts amount
ing to $1,000, according to statement
given to a Globe Democrat reporter
Wednesday by W. W. keyser, presi-
dent of the bank. The full amount OF
these discrepancies, Keyser. added,
has not yet been returned to the bank.
Seach is also being made for $4,000
In Liberty bonds, which, according to
Keyser, have not been found. This
investigation, keyser said, has not
yet been completed.
Word was received by Kerth's rela-
tives yesterday that Kerth, who is a
member of q wealthy t.Louis County
family, had stopped at the New Ameri-
eau Hotel at Ironton week ago. In
the supposition that he had met some
mishap, ninety men were searching
woods near Ironton last night for trace
of him.
John Z. Wilson of kirkwood, Il
brother-in- law, who has been hunting
the missing man at lronton and Ar
cadia, said that Kerth had complained
at the hotel OF severe pains in his
head. Wilson is of the opinion that
kerth wandered away while under
mental strain.
Keyser said that as soon as he
learned Kerth had failed to return
when expected from hunting trip
last week he suggested to George +.
Kerth, Jr., vice president Of the trust
company and brother to Louis, that
they open safe in the kerth Mer-
camille Company of Kirkwood, of
which kerth was an officer, in hope
of finding a clew to the mans where
abouts or letter explaining his
disappearance.
Upon opening the safe, Keyser de-
clared, they found $500 in currency,
which was identified by Keyser as
property Of the bank. This money,
with the personal check of George f.
Kerth for $500, was turned over to
him, Keyser said. 49,.
