Fail to Connect
Harris With Crime

There has as yet been but a single
arrest in connection with the Caledo-
MIA bank robbery, which occurred
about noon on Thursday of last week.
The Party arrested on suspicion of
being one of the two who entered the
bank is Chas. Harris, of Elvins, this
county, who was taken to the Potosi
Jail. Harris declares he is innocent,
and can prove an alib. In fact there
was no money on his person when
arrested, so that it will perhaps prove
difficult to connect him with the
crime, though three men at Caledo-
MIA, so it is reported, positively iden-
tifies him as being one of the rob-
bers.
Harris was taken to St. Louis the
first of the week to undergo "sweat-
ing" process, but that failed to get
from him anything of an incriminat-
ing nature. Miss Ida Davis, of Ell
wins, with whom Harris has for some
time been excepting company" was
also taken to st. Louis to see if any
thing could be gotten from her as to
Harris connection with the robbery.
But that also failed of any results.
While this robbery was committed
without masks, there are said to be
four connected with the crime, and
there appears to be absolutely no ev-
idence as to who are the guilty par
ties,

DURING VACATION DAYS

Scatter seeds of kindness while on
your vacation by not only talking of
your regard for animal life, but by
giving some practical demonstration
of your interest. You may thereby
interest others in this cause of mercy
and justice.
Whether you own horse or not, it
is your duty to remonstrate with a
driver who overdrives or abuses his
horse in any way. Help him by advice
or kindly suggestion.
It is true economy to give cow
plenty of good wholesome food. Hors-
es and cows will enjoy better health
and do better work if they are well
groomed every day. ,
Sunshine, clean food, pure air and
water, comfortable and dry quarters,
a wide range, clover pasture if posi-
ble-all these are required to keep
swine in a healthy condition.
The practice of carrying fowls with
their heads downward and their feet
tied together is very cruel, and in most
states is an offense against the law
and punishable by fine. Those whose
haste or carelessness tempt them to
carry any live creature head down
ward should consider how they would
themselves like it. 1t is cruel to car
ry fowls in bags or to leave them IN
bags.
Do not shut out your cat at night.
Cats that are about a neighborhood
in the night are great disturbance to
light sleepers and persons who are Ill;
Protect dogs and cats from ill
treatment, give them food and water
and comfortable place to sleep. DO
not allow your dog to run after BIZ
cycle or car. Many dogs are killed,
many lost and others have been made
very sick by following bicycles or
cars for long distances.
Discourage nest-robbing,. boys,
among your companions, and encour-
age in its place an intelligent interest
in the living birds.
Fish should be killed as soon as TAX
en- out of the water by a sharp blow
on the back of the head, that they
may not suffer before dying. Such
fish keep better, and are better to eat;
and the best fishermen in Europe and
America always kill their fish as soon
as they catch them.

New Committee
Now On Guard

The new members selected to serve
as the Democratic Central Committee
for st. Francois county, chosen by the
different townships at the late pri-
mary, indicates that the party's best
interests will be well looked after dur
ing the campaign that is now opening.
Each and every one of the new COM
mittee are "live wires," experienced
in politics, enthusiastic working DEM
ocrats, who have clear and practical
ideas of organization that will really
bring about the best possible results.
1t is just such a committee as the
party in st. Francois county has long
needed, and there is no reason to
doubt that under the leadership of
such committee the Democrats will
roll up an old-time Democratic ma
jority in this county in November.
Each and everyone Of the new MEM
bers can be depended on to do their
full duty as the directing head of the
party in the present campaign. The
new committee members are:
St. Francois township-J. C. Wat
son.
Perry Township. j. Bowman.
Marion Township-E. c. Papin.
Iron Township. R. Thomson.
Liberty Township-Homer Presnell.
PendIeton Township-R. L. Welker.
Randolph Township-C. E. Porter.
The new committee held its initial
meeting Tuesday at the court house
in this city, and organization was eff
fected by electing the following Of
ficers: Chairman, j. ]. Bowman; Sec
retary, Charles Porter; Treasurer, j..
r. Thomson. A discussion of plans
for the prosecution of a vigorous
campaign was then entered into. All
reports that have been received indi-
cate that the Democratic nominees are
being well received by the voters;
that there are no "sore spots" as a
result of the late primary, and ap-
pearances strongly indicate that the
entire Democratic ticket will be elect
ed in st. Francois county by increased
majorities. However, it was the sem
timent of the committee that no eff
fort would be spared to increase such
majority to the greatest possible
amount.

The Millers Are
Premium Winners

Prof. Geo. A. Miller, superintend-
ent of the Ozark Business College of
this city, has received a letter from
his son, Harry, who is attending the
Gregg School at Chicago, stating that
he won the Remington Gold Medal
last week in the annual typewriting
contest, which is certainly a notable
honor, as the Gregg School is consid-
cred the leading typewriting school
of the country. The record Harry
Miller made in securing this award
was writing 686 words in ten minutes,
without single error.
This is the second of these Rcming-
ton Gold Medals to be awarded to the
Miller family. Roy Miller, who at
tended the Gregg School two years
ago, won the medal for that year as
easily as Harry has just landed this
years medal. There have been very
few of these medals awarded, and
their possession is considered high
honor, coming through the Gregg
School, which is considered the fore
most typewriting school in the coun-
try. The Miller family, all of whom
are on the teaching staff of the Ozark
Business College, are no less prof.
cient in typewriting than in other
lines of business preparedness, which
fact is having a marvellous effect in
establishing that school on an unus-
ually meritorious plane. Prof. Geo.
A. Miller could probably secure such
medal if given an opportunity, as
it is doubtless from him that Roy and
Harry inherit their ability as business
college instructors.

Real Rescue
Work Started

!. A meeting of the Pennington Ad-
Sisory Board of the Salvation Army
Iwas held in the council room Monday
evening for the purpose of hearing
Captain Jobe, Of st. Louis, present
the plans for work that has been laid
out in this county by that organiza-
tion, in which the local Advisory
Board is expected to assist.
Capt. Jobe went into details as to
the elaborate uplift work that is be-
ing carried on, and now in contempla-
tion by that wonderful organization,
which is spreading out into diff
ferent counties in the State where
there appears to be an unusual
amount of rescue work to be done.
She said it was the desire of the Sal
walton Army to aid all those in St.
Francois county that the local Advis-
ory Board thought were in need of
their assistance.
This will be a wonderful help to this
county in the rescue of derelict and
neglected children, as it will mater
ially assist in their care and perhaps
in securing for them good homes. She
agreed to take Immediately the four
small children of Mrs. Reed, Of Bonne
Terre, and also consented to receive
Mrs. Reed in their rescue department
when the charge now against her had
been dismissed, or disposed of. Pros
ecuting Attorney Golfer agreed to
dismiss such charge on condition that
Mrs. Reed would enter the rescue de-
partment of the Salvation Army,
which she has consented to do.
Thus the actual work of rescue of
derelicts has actually been started in
this county.

Boosting for a
Commercial Club

About one hundred citizens of
Pennington sat down to an excellent
banquet served by Presbyterian la
dies at Masonic Tempe last evening,
complimentary to Mr.. Farris, of st.
Louis, in response to requests from
Pennington citizens that they be sent
an expert in organizing Commercial
Clubs, for which some of our most
enterprising citizens have long been
struggling.
An interesting talk was made by the
visitor as to the wonderful accomp-
lishments that may be expected from
active and perfect organization, and
the interest that was aroused prom
ises we'll for the future of this city,
providing a strong working organiza-
ton can be effected before the enthu-
siasm is permitted to cool down. The
Times hopes to have more extended
article next week as to the plans
adopted for the carrying forward of
concerted effort for the upbuilding of
Farnsageohs

communication Saturday afternoon.
Owing to the large amount of work,
the meeting extended into night. De-
grees of Master Mason were conferred
on three brethren, while two were ini-
tiated into the degree of Entered APP
prentice. 1t was busy and interest
ing meeting, and much Masonic infor-
nation was given forth and imbibed.
With characteristic hospitality, the
Masonic brethren of that community
served refreshments, which were par
taken of by all with real zest and
thoroughly enjoyed. A number Of
visitors from Bonne Terre and Farm
ington were present, and the meeting
was replete with Masonic harmony
and enjoyment.

Two Barns and
Contents Burned

During the electrical storm last
Friday, about noon, the barn on
Frank Griffin's farm, about five miles
northeast of Pennington, was struck
by lightning, which resulted in set
ting It afire, and the barn and con-
tents were soon reduced to ashes. Be.
sides considerable hay, harness, ETC.,
an automobile was also destroyed.
The barn and contents were com

struck by lightning, and the barn and
contents were also destroyed by the
resultant fire. Considerable hay, ma

John Schmoll, chairman Of the Re-
publican Central Committee and leader
of the so-called Republican machine in
st. Louis, went down to defeat before
the forces led by City Collector Ed
mond KoeIn. There was little doubt
as to Schmoll being given a severe re.
verse, the faction against him being
so well organized that he was not only
beaten in his race for Sheriff, but like
wise lost his seat in the City Com
mittee.
Charles Il. Mohrstadt, SchmOlls Op-
ponent for the nomination for Sheriff,
received 31,059 votes. while the latter
counted but 27,2S1.
Senator Spencer, the Schm0ll candi-
date, lost st. Louis, although f. e. e.

candidate, carried the city by a plu-
rality in excess of 5000 over Arthur M.

Continues to
Spread Out

State Hospital No. closed a deal
Monday whereby they acquired by
rental the Mrs, Jennie T. Forster
home and farm Of 100 acres adjoining
the city of Pennington. This splen-
did acreage will prove to be wonder
fully productive under the competent
management of the hospital force,
and the change will doubtless prove
most profitable to all parties con-
cerned.
Mrs. Forster will spend the winter
with her son, Theodore, at El Paso,
Texas. Her many friends will hope
that climate will work miracles in re-
storing her to more robust health.
