PACKET SERVICE STOPPED
Has Given Way to Motor Cars and
Trolleys

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 2,-Daily
packet service on the Mississippi
river between Alton and st. Louis
which has been in existence for more
than half a century has been discon-
tinued, due to the heavy inrOads ON
passenger, traffic by automobiles and
the trolley.
This marks the passing Of what,
at one time, was regarded as the
best available means Of transporta-
ton between the two cities. Boats
were operated on schedule similar to
that on the railroads. Although the
fare was cheap the heavy travel sup
plemented by the freight business
made te service profitable.

DICKINSON'S PRIMARY VOTE HAS
NAMED TICKETS FOR NOVEMBER

Dickinson county voters evidently
are not much enthused about pri
mary elections. About one fourtf
the vote of the county was cast a
Tuesdays election. The Republican
vote on governor was approximately
700. which is less than half the
normal vote. The Democratic vot,
was so small as to be what is termet
"negligible". No contests OF inter
est were on that ticket.
The county Republicans registered
for w. Y. Morgan, giving him a saft
lead with LambertsOn second, Stubbs
third, Knapp fourth and McNeal al
the bOttom-and few scattering
votes for the lady. Miss Pettigrew.
How Abilene Voted
About 700 votes were cast in ADJ
lene. third of the potential vote
The town gave Morgan 3O2 and he
carried every ward but one, the first,
where Stubbs had one plurality
Stubbs had 161, Lambertson 159,
Knapp IA, McNeal 4S. Paul Roger
for attorney had fine home vote
receiving 462 to 22S for o. w.
Weber. His home ward, the 4th,
gave him SO majority Mrs. Beegh-
ly received $50 votes in town to W
for her opponent, e. F. Halbert w.
J. Rumold of Hope carried the town
over w. ]. Scott for representative
2S6 to 279. The other candidates
were without opposition.
Mrs. Beeghly's home vote was al
most overwhelming, the city giving
her 4s5 majority. She carried most
of the precincts also. Her home
ward. the 4th, gave her 165 ma
jority.
County Vote Varied
One of the curious results Of the
county vote was the various leader
ships in the different townships. One
would go head over heels for Stubbs,
another for LambertsOn, another for
McNeal. The vote was very light
in all the townships and Morgan
carried the county because he had a
vote in all parts of the county while
others had sectional votes. Herring
ton stood pat on the orders from the
labor unions and voted for Knapp,
who received 3S7 votes to- Stubbs 81,
Morgan Al, McNeal 20, Lambertson
85. The small Lambertson vote In
the county was a surprise as he had
been given credit for larger show
ing.
Homler For Commissioner
Joseph Homler, railroad man OF
Herington. won the nomination Tor
county commissioner over J. H. kel-
zow, a farmer of Hope. He received
a large vote in Herington which
more than offset the vote OF the
country districts around Hope which
supported Mr.. KelzOw.
Funk's Township Showed EN-
Grant township was the premier
precinct for Lambertson in proper
ton to its total vote. For a time
the counting looked as though 1t
would be about unanimous. Coun-
ty Commissioner Funk was a lead
ing Lambertson supporter and he
showed 'em how to get results. His
organization was probably the best
of any in the county for any one pre-
cinct.
Strong Easy Winner
Congressman Strong leads his op-
ponent, D. X. Coughlin, in every pre-
cinct. Reports from Marysville say
that he will win by five to one over
the district.
District Judge c. n. Clark is nom
mated without opposition.
