August Winkler who was seriously
injured by being struck by an auto
mobile just before Christmas was able
to be about his place of business last
Saturday, though far from being fully
recovered from the injuries. He felt
keenly his disability to look after his
business during the Christmas holt
days, as the holiday trade in the Jew
elry line is always considered the best
there is of the year. His many
friends are glad to know that he is on
the road to recovary, for his escape
from fatal injury was very narrow

Lead Belt News: "The shovelers
employed by the Desloge CONSOLIDATE
ed Lead Co. at Shafts 8 and 4 walked
out this week owing to some dis
satisfaction in regard to "scoring
out" The company, we have been
informed, requires II cars for a shifts
work, but objects to the men leaving
the mine before the regular time,
after securing the II cars. The COM
pany was willing to allow the men to
leave any time after securing 10 cars
and we're willing to pay 4Sc for the
two extra cars. The men objected to
this arrangement. 1t is expected that
a mutually satisfactory adjustment will
be made within a few days"
More than a year ago General
superintendent Murphy of the Mis-
souri, Pacific in testifying before the
Public Service Commission at the
courthouse stated that it was. very
dangerous to put two locomotives on
a passenger train to help them over
the hills and that the railroad COM
pany had purchased several large
engines that would do away with the
necessity for two engines. They were
to be in service within a month. That
was possibly fifteen months ago.
Every day passenger trains wend
their way through the valley with
two engines pulling them. Was Mr..
Murphy sincere in what he testified
to or is he just of careless disposition?
According to the Fredericktown
Democrat-News the boosters for a
Pavedway through Southeast Mis-
souri, who visited Fredericktown a
few weeks ago and urged a contribu-
ton of 5000 from that place for ''pub-
licity"-and DIDN'T get the $2OO-are

cial resources of the International
Association seem to be
The enthusiastic boost
ers collected from some of the neigh
towns, but the trick was soon
discovered and payment stopped on
the checks. Desloge put up 500, but
withdrew it's support and compelled
the Pavedwsg fellows to return the
800, says the News. To Frederick
town seems to belong the credit for
putting a stop to the wild ideas of the
folks, through strong re-
solutions adopted by the Commercial
CLUB, which action has been COM
nended by many newspapers of this
section of the state. u
From Ste. Genevieve Herald: SIT
s almost too good to be true, but the
comes that the I. s. railroad will
begin operation within the next thirty
lays, and that workmen are already
beginning the task of putting the roll
ng stock and the road in readiness
or the start. This is good Jews to
he people of Ste. Genevieve and also
% all the towns along the line, for
he discontinuance of the road has
worked a hardship on some of thef
owns where enterprises depended
mainly upon the road for incoming /,
