citizen once held. A barge was being
launched from a rather steep bank
and ropes were attached in order to
hold it in a certain position, when all
at once it got beyond control, went
over the bank and into the river in
a dash. This good man was jerked
into the river, head and ears. When
he had been fished out he was asked
why he permitted it to yank him in,
he replied that he couldn't help it,
"the rope vas just too damned chort

No doubt every citizen of Hart
ford has observed the sign of rats in
many places in town. II is thought
by some that they are more numer-
GUS than common, caused no doubt,
by their coming in out of the fields
in search of food and shelter for the
winter. If you could see the amount
of food stuff destroyed by rats in
Hartford in one year you would be
alarmed. For one person alone to
make war on them doesn't amount
to much, but IL every home and mill
and shop in town would start a
crusade II would result in great
saving of food besides getting rid of
a continual nuisance. Now is the
time to poison them while IL is get
ting cool, they will make no odor
when they die. Rats won't eat every
kind OF poison, but they like powder
of Nux Yomica. You can get it at
the drug store for ten cents an ounce.
Put 1t in corn meal dough or on
bread and il is a srue killer. II is
perfectly harmless to chickens or
any thing with gizzard. but a sure
poison to animals. l am using it on
roasting ears and 1t gets the rats.
Why not everybody make a raid
right now. Don't wait until Rat
Killing Day, DO IL now and help to
rid the town Of rats. The only ak /
have to grind here is to keep from
being bothered with your rats at
er ! have killed all mine.

In the death of DR.. Lyman Abbott
the Nation has lost citizen who had
attain ed countrywide reputation as
theologian, publicist and philosophie
thinker. For two score years he had
edited the Outlook which. was for
merly the Christian Register. During
a decade, or more. of this time he
filled the pulpit formerly occupied by
Henry Ward Beecher. DR., Abbott
wrote many articles which were ca
gerly read by thousands of persons.
His range of work covered a wide
field, and. had he been more OF
specialist, centralized his great pow
ers upon a particular line, as many
do he would have. beyond doubt, been
the undisputed leader in his particu-
lar line of endeavor.

MONETT-J JENKINS WELL
ENCOUNTERS SHOWING OF OIL

The big drill at the Monett-Jenkins
well encountered another excellent
showing of oil at a depth of 1903 feet
yesterday. One of the drillers was in
Monet Monday and in commenting
on the strike said, "this is by far the
best showing we have had and in fact
the only down right real indication
of well yet encountered, although
showings have been in evidence for
some time" Since the casing was set
at 1850 feet the drilling brought in
another flow of water at 1910 feet and
the casing is being lowered today sue
cessfully. This will necessitate sixty
feet of trimming but a few days will
see the hole going on down again.
The work of the Commercial Club
of Monett in raising finances for the
operation of the we'll is going along
satisfactorily and the people general
ly are signing up for guarantee of

BANDITS ROB
LEAD HILL BANK
Get 10000 in Cash and Liberty Bonds
Tracked to White River
Country.

Harrison, Ark, April 24.-Two
unmasked men held officials of the
Bank of Lead Hill, 20 miles northeast
of here, at the point of guns and es-
capped with $4,000 in cash and $4,000
worth of Liberty bonds about 2 o'clock
this afternoon. TIE bandits were
horseback.
Sheriff Johnson of Boone county
hastily organized a posse as soon as
word was received here and went to
Lead Hill to take up the trail. The
bandits rode into the hills north of
the town and it is believed they have
fled into the White river country in
Taney county, Mo-, where pursuit and
capture would be more difficult.
The men rode into the town and
tied their horses at the rear of the
bank, entered by the back door and,
with guns drawn, ordered Cashier
Phenix and his assistant into vault.
Being told that no one else knew the
combination to the vault door,, and
that they might suffocate, the bandits
did not further insist, but gathered
up all the loot in sight and dashed out
to their horses.
The alarm had been spread and a
number of persons came running to
the bank, firing at the bandits. Their
shots went wild and the last seen of
the men was when they disappeared
in the hills.
Cashier Phenix declared tonight he
would recognize the bandits if he saw
them again.
