It Is Now Major Lusk.

:; Wednesday of last week DR.. c. A.
Lusk, of Virginia, received notice
from the office of the Ndjutant gen.
eral of the army, at Washington, that
he had been promoted from cap
taincy in the army medical corps to
major. The promotion dating from
June ~, 1919.
In the fall of 1917, after the United
States had entered the war against
Germany, DR.. Lusk rendered his SER
vices to his country and was sent to
Fl. Riley, where he underwent a
course of training and was sent to
Camp Funston, Kansas, where he
was attached to the 35th division, go
ing with the division to France, where
he was with it in some of the most
severe battles of. the war. At one
time the line had dropped back sew
eral hundred yards, leaving behind
large number of wounded soldiers.
They were under heavy fire from
the enemy guns and the American ar
tillery was about to lay a barrage
about where the soldiers were laying.
Capt. Lusk called for volunteers and
succeeded in removing nearly all of
the wounded. For this act of gal
lantry he was commended in special
orders by the commander of his d.
vision.

DEATH PENALTY BILL
PASSES HOUSE IN
MIDNIGHT SESSION
With Governors Signature Measure
Will Restore Gallows In
Missouri.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July g.
(Tuesday)-The death penalty bill
was passed by the Missouri House oi
Representative at 1905 o'clock this
morning.
The Senate passed it Sunday in .
midnight session. 1t now goes to
the governor for his signature. 1t is
believed he will approve the bill.
The governors approval will re-
store the gallows in Missouri, but
law makers do not believe that the
law will be applicable to men now
awaiting trial now for murder.
The law will become effective Oc-
tober E. 1t restores the old capital
punishment law, which authorized
the jury to exact the death penalty
or life imprisonment for capital
crimes.
Representative O. B. Whitaker Of
Hickory County made a dramatic
speech against the bill, closing with
the declaration that IF you would not
vote to send your own son to the
gallows, theA you have not the right
to vote to send my sons and the sons
of others to the scaffold."
Whitaker was the author of the
law repeating the death penalty
which was passed by the Forty-nintll
General Assembly. His father, was
the author of the statute which first
gave the jury the option of the death
penalty or life Imprisonment
He drew upon the Bible, the
schools, the courts and governments
Of other states to prove his argument
that hanging in Missouri will not re-
iuce murder and other capital
crimes. He cited statistics which
showed that states without the death
penalty have fewer homicides than
hose which have it..

HAD TWO FAMILIES
Cauley Conn in Jail for Deserving
His Wife and Family in Arkan-
sas And Living With An
other Woman In 4
This County.

About ten days ago a woman ar
rived in Butler and went before Pros.
ecuting Attorney w. B. Dawson and
sswofe to an; Information charging
Cauley Conn with adultery. Wednes-
day Sheriff Baker went to the north
west part of the county, where Conn
had for the last few years been liv-
ing with the woman, and after wait.
ing all night served the warrant and
brought Conn to jail where he is
awaiting trial.
From the best information obtain
able it seems that Conn is native of
Kentucky. When he was young
man he married and soon after mi
grated to Arkansas, where he lived
for several years and where six chill
,dren were born to them. After liv-
ing in Arkansas about IL years he
disappeared and nothing was heard
of him for some time when his fam
lily received letter from him saying
that he was living in the northeast
part of Bates county. Soon after he
disappeared in Arkansas he appeared
on Grand River in the northeast part
of this county, about five miles north
of Altoona, with woman named Effie
Toler, with whom he has since been
. living, part of the time in a house
boat on Grand river and a part of the
time in a small hut on the bank and
by whom he has two children. He
eked out precarious living hunting
and fishing and at times working for
the farmers in the vicinity.
In 1918 he went to Arkansas and
hrnnuht he 50 liz, h,,l, with hin,
They were unaware of the Toler wo-
man until they arrived here. Since
then he and the two families have
been living in small two room
house on the bank of the river. The |
Toler woman said that he had fire.
quently threatened to kill her if she
made any attempt to leave him or
give any information as to their rela-1
tions. But a few days ago, being no
longer able to stand the life that she
was leading, she told her story to
women of the neighborhood and two
of them accompanied her to Butler to
swear out the warrant.
His two -families-seemI to- BEEN
good terms and Mrs. Conn says that
she does not blame the Toler woman
for anything that she has done. The
Toler woman has worked among the
families in that part of the county to
earn money to help support the two
families.
Conn has the name of being bad
man and always going armed, so that
when Sheriff Baker approached the
house. which is in one of the most in
accessible parts of the county he ex-
ercised great deal of caution, but
soon found that his man was not at
home. He spent a rather monoton-
cos night watching Tie house and in
the morning Conn appeared ANDY was
placed under arrest and brought to
Butler and placed in jail, where he
will probably remain until the next
term of the circuit court.

Came Right Back at Them.

Last week several St. Louis wo-
men who were interested in the pas
sage of the ratification Of the An
|thony wonans suffrage amendment
to the constitution went to Jefferson
City to urge its passage. After they
returned to St. Louis one of them
gave out an interview in, which she
criticised the lawmakers for receiving
the women while they (the lawmak-
-ers) were coatless and were wearing
"galluses."
Monday the house adopted reso-
fulton presented by St. Louis rep
resentative, which was in part as
follows:
Whereas, The members of the
House of Representatives on that
notable occasion had clothing of suf-
ficient weight and thickness which
well covered their bodies and at the
same time made them neat as well as
comfortable and were used for the
purpose of concealing in place of re-
vealing, and
Whereas, Certain women on said
occasion wore sort of gauze that
covered only a part of their bodies
and answered only az camouflage.
Therefore, Be it resolved by sthe
Fiftieth General Assembly in extra
ordinary session that we advise these
feformers that we believe that chari-
u and reform should beSin at home
and suggest to them to burn their
cossets, knock the heels off their
clippers and get . gauze stretcher
and stretch their clothing 50 It will

MORE POWER TO LIGHT
PLANT
Mass Meeting Favors New Engines.

The mass meeting of the citizens
of Butler held in the Circuit Court
rooms Thursday evening unanim0s7
ly went -on record as favoring the in
stallation of the necessary equipment
to. furnish ample power for the op-
Grafton of the water and light plant.
A motion carried advising the city
council to take such steps as might
be necessary to issue bonds to the
amount required to purchase suffi-
cient power units to operate the city
light and water plant efficiently un-
der all circumstances and with due
consideration for the future require
ments of the plant. -
The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Jas. A. DeArmond, who
made an exhaustive report upon the
condition of the light plant and made
a statement Of the cost Of operation
and repairs on the plant during his
administration. The plant it seems,
is very much under powered, 30 much
so that with the exception of few
hours each week it is necessary to
run the 200 horsepower oil engine
continuously in order to carry the
load and of course under this condi-
ton, no time is allowed for the max
ing of the minor adjustments and re-
pairs which would greatly prolong
the life of the motor. When break
down of this. unit does occur the load
must be carried by the 100 horse
