new PHONE Line
FOR KIRKSVILLE
Replacing One Wrecked By Sleet
Storms of Early Spring
Other Industries There

The enterprising citizens of Kinks
vile, who have been wrestling for
several motnhs in order to replace
the damage wrought by the early
spring Sleet storms to the telephone
lines ,have succeeded in getting a
number of lines in operation, a fact
generally appreciated by the business
men especially. The loss sustained
amounted to several thousand dollars.
The difficult part was the procuring
of help in the way of experienced
workmen, since new cables had to be
strung, as we'll as new poles in places
replaced by new ones. The line, when
completed, will be as good as new and
more extensive than ever, since many
calls for telephone service are being
received by members of tn company.
1t is the intention, while the work is
well under way, to extend the lines in
various directions, and the system will
be greater than ever before. Much new
paraphernalia and most of this has
been shipped. The hardness in ship
ments hindered the progress of the
work also to a great extent. 1t is ex-
pecteG soon to have all of the lines
in perfect working order, they being
connected now with unusual rapidity.
Kirksville folks believe in doing
things for themselves, and the tele-
phone line is one of the little city in
understood the citizens, who are of
progressive spirit, will continue the
work and other civic properties arc
limited at for the near future Gener-
al business in Kirksville is said to be
good, and the surrounding country is
producing some of the best crops and
stock seen there for years

MADISON TOBACCO
IS SAFE FROM RUST
Firing Up" Caused BY Cessation
of Frequent Rains and the
Hot Sun

The result of the recent frequent
rains, the cool nights and the not
sunshine during the day is SAID by
old tobacco raisers to be the cause OF
some tobacco in Madison county 10
take on a rusty hue, and that there
is little, if any, of the so-called Dlgh'
or rust to be found here. The an
nouncement that the tobacco was De-
ing greatly effected in other parts OF
the state caused an investigation to
be made. The first reports were to the
effect that there was no rust to speak
of, but the investigation was contin-
ued.
Some Of the old timers, who were
induced to go through the coustry on
Thursday, returned at night, report
ing little, if any, rust to De seen. The
recent rains caused tobacco to grow
fast, some of them state, with the re-
suit that with the subsequent check OF
rains and hot days with cool nights,
plans ave been effeced, and this might
ICdCil d SeIiOtS GNLCHb III sCiiAO Pi~%NNN
unless there is rain soon. 1t is claimed
that until a week ago tobacco had
never taken leaf so rapidly as during
the four weeks previous. Since the
large leaves have developed the effect
of the hot sun during the day, to-
gethcr with the cool nights, there has
been a great change. w. NJ. Rogers,
who claims to have produced, until
few years ago, considerable tobacco
for the past 35 years, inspected much
tobacco in Madison county, and he
brings in the report that he has seen
the same condition of affairs many q
time, and that there is no need Tor
alarm. although admitting tobacco in
some localities, which was set out late,
is not making a very good showing.
Gas far aS this rust is concerned" he
{ ;plained "there need be no fear, for
there is none here to speak of. Rain
is what the tobacco needs, since it
was given such boost at the start
and the leaves developed so fast that
they need moisture now to sustain the
proper color. A good rain would do
a great deal of COOL"

NEGRO ASSAULTS
TRACK FOREMAN
Then Makes Escape Before Police
Can APprehend Him-Mur-
DER May Result

Henry Hammond, white, residing
on Orange street, Richmond, and em-
ployed on the l.. G. n. section two
miles north of the city, was assaulted
by colored laborer Friday morning
shortly after 9 o'clock and was hur-
ried to the Pattie A. Clay hospital,
where he has since remained in an
unconscious condition. The chances
for his recovery are very doubtful,
according to the attending physicians.
The aSsailant made his escape up
the railroad tracks soon after the as
sault. and has not been seen since, all
though the police, who were immedi-
ately informed, threw out a dragnet
extending north as far as Red House
and several miles to the east and west
OF the city. No signs have been seen
of him, and it is believed he has made
good his escape. The trouble is said
to have terminated when the negro,
whose name is said to be Collins, re-
fused to work according to orders.
John Martin, also of Richmond, and
foreman of the working force, s said
to be the fatber-in-law of Mr. Ham
mond, assistant, who was struck on
the right car with hammer. There
is q deep incision and it is very prob
able that should tho injured man 1.e-
cover sufficiently, an operation will bs
necessary.
MIR. Martin, upon discovering the
assault, had the injured man hurried
to the office Of Dr.. H. c. Jasper, who,
upon examination, found the injuries
TO be OF such . serious nature that he
recommended the immediate removal
of the man to the Pattie A. Clay hos
pital. This was done, but the uncon-
sciOus condition of the victim pre-
vents the physicians determining the
full extent of the injury. However, it
is a question as to his recovery. Col
Inns, his assailant, is not known here,
it being said that he recently came
from the south and secured employ
ment on the railway track force.

BANNER SHIPMENT
OF STEERS FRIDAY
Nine Car Loads, Largest Ship
ment of Year, From Curtis
and Son Farms

Nine carloads of finished cattle,
numbering 104 head, said by experts
to be the finest and fattest drove ever
sent out of Madison county, left the
I. j. Curtis & Sons farm, six miles
south of Richmond, Friday morning,
and were taken to the East End
stock yards, from where they depart
ed Friday afternoon for Philadelphia.
The steers, averaging 1,400 pounds,
were disposed of to w. A. Thomason,
of Paris, who purchased them for the
Consolidated Dressed Beef company,
of Philadelphia. The price was SIS
per 100 pounds, without shrinkage.
Mr.. Thomaon stated that without
doubt the shipment was the best ev-
Ell sent from the county, not barring
were the best to be procured. He said
he was never as proud of shipment
during the past ten years as the one
made Friday. The cattle, Mr.. Curtis
wintered on his farm, fed through the
winter months, about seven barrels
of corn being required for each steer,
and then grazed during the spring
and prepared for the marl-et 1t was
the biggest shipment made from Mad
isOn county thus far this year, and
the quality was commented upon b.
many who viewed the drove as it was
taken from the farm. 1t VIII be fol-
lowed during the fall by another ship
ment Of the same order. Tho fall ship
ments, according to Mr. Curtis, can
not be judged at this time. Howev-
Ell, it is expected to be normal, but
no extraordinary productions are ex-
pected, owing to the heavy summer
shipments being made.
The cattle sent away Friday will
be followed by another large one
within a period of ten days or two
weeks, representing the supply of fin
ished cattle on the farm Of James
Neal, which will number almost ST
head, purchased at IA cents per pound
without shrinkage. These will be ship
ped to the same point, having been
purchased by Mr.. Thomason. The
latter declared he was going to spend
more time in Madison county, since
he had been so fortunate in securing
the best cattle in the state here.
The third purchase by Mr.. Thoma-
son from Sid holland, living five miles
east o. the city, is also recorded.
This grade was very similar to that
of the Curtis shipment, and the price
the same. This is said to be a special
price, including the without shrinkage
which is favoring Kentucky producers
since the quality OF the meat is read
lily recognized and appreciated.
