Died in Colorado

Sub E. Thorne, a member of
the class of II, of the Laclede
high school, died at the home of
a relative in Pueblo, Colo, on
Wednesday of last week. The
remains arrived here Friday
noon and were placed in charge
of Director Thurman of the
Thorne undertaking establish
ment, and later taken to the
home of his mother, Mrs. Joseph
Thorne, near Linneus, from
which place the funeral was held
Saturday. He had gone to
Colorado less than a month ago.
His age was % years, 5 months
and 19 days. He was we'll liked
and popular with his fellowship
dents here and his early demise
is deeply mourned by all who
knew him.

Cold and Cruel

There was war in Laclede
Wednesday. A cold and cruel
war, cold because of the filling
of the projectiles used and cruel
on account of the financial loss
to the belligerents who precipi-
tated the disturbance in the
commercial circle of the town.
Along in the forenoon a small
sign appeared on an uptown
street announcing that for that
day only ice cream cones would
be two for five at the Depot
Cafe. Shortly thereafter a sign
was hung out at the Plowman
refreshment place to the effect
that ice cream cones could be
had within at a penny apiece,
and the war was on. The news
of the declaration of hoStilities
spread rapidly and soon the
whole younger generation of the
town, along with some older
ones, were participating and en-
joying it. The war did not last
long, however, and many kids
who were late getting down
town with their pennies were dis

Council Meeting Monday Night

The regular monthly meeting
of the city council will be held
next Monday night. At this
time bids for oiling the streets
will be received and acted upon
and the matter of establishing
oiling district three will be con-
sidered. Now is a good time to
oil and there should be no delay
if the oiling is to be done at all.
However, the oiling should be
done at the bare price of the oil
and reasonable pay for putting it
on. No contract should be let
to give the contractor a big pro-
fit on the oil in addition to his
pay for doing the work. The
city officials should post them
selves on the price of oil and be
prepared to protect the people
against any attempt that may
be made to graft from those
who have the bills to pay.
