THE COURIER IN MISSOURI.
A Special Representative Spends a
Few Hours at Harris.
With the opportunity at hand the
Courier man stepped off between
trains at Harris, Mo., one day last
week and at once welcomed the
chance to interview the leading citi
zens and "size up" the general at
tractions of the town.
Harris is one of the strongest com
mercial centers along the Missouri end
of the Milwaukee and is a midway
point between Seymour and Chllllcothe
or about elghtytwo miles southwest of
Ottumwa. The population of Harris
will not exceed a thousand, but what it
lacks in numbers it more than doubles
In quality and industrial propensities.
It is the home of the well known capi
talist and fine stock breeder, Hon. Ov
erton Harris. This gentleman is a
Missourlan of considerable distinction
recognized beyond the boundaries of
his own state, due chiefly to his owner
ship of probably the finest Hereford
herd in America. He owns one tract
jof 2j200 acres of excellent grazing land
that lies in one body and as far as the
eye can see it stretches from the wood
ed hill lands, across field sections and
goes sloping gently down into the rich
meadows and there a beautiful group
of "white faces," 150 in all, the pride
of the community and representing as
high a value as $3,000 for either of
two of them at least, Is seen convert
ing the succulent grasses ultimately
into the wealth that enriches the stock
raiser, and which sheds a luster upon
the vocation that confers much honor.
These Herefords are being represent
ed by a selection of fifteen show pre
miums that appeared in premium con?
dition at the Minnesota state fair last
week and will go to the Springfield
fair, thence to the Kansas City exhibit
and are to finish with an appearance
in the $80,000 cash premiums show
ring in Chicago.
The Harris Banking Co. of Harris is
officered as follows: Overton Harris,
president T. N. Wood, vice president
C. B. Harris, cashier Estelle Harris,
assistant cashier, and is a strong fi
nancial institution with practically un
limited personal responsibility. It is
thru this bank that not less than $1,000
Is paid every week to Harris stock
shippers by the Morrell packing house
firm.
Another citizen of proifiinence at
Harris is Hon. Peter Scott, member of
the state legislature, who, with
his brother, conducts the leading hard
ware and implement business of the
country. The firm of Scott Bros., buy
their hardware from Ottumwa whole
salers as does also the firm of J. N.Ra
gan, whose twelve years' residence at
Harris has been productive of splen
did business results.
Among the other citizens we met
there, many whose names will be read
ily recognized at the leading whole
sale houses of Ottumwa are: Mayor
Thos. Hopper, N. W. Mingo, druggist
L. M. Kidwell, druggist Haley and
Kilpatrlck, druggists Triplette Bros.,
stock buyers Williams & Simmons,
millers E. B. Hunt, proprietor Palace
Hotel T. J. Daniels, J. H. Morris, C. S.
Gates, photographer Mrs. E. M.Camp
bell, postmistress, and W. B. Camp
bell, deputy N. Seannell, liveryman
T. F. Cochran, agent of the Milwaukee.
By the above business men and sev
eral more whose residences are In the
vicinity of Harris, the Courier will be
received as a family newspaper for
the winter's reading and from Harris
as also from Newtown, Lucerne and
Powersville will come many visitors to
this city's street carnival this week.
Let everybody "show them" a good
time that they may long remember In
an increasing appreciation, the hospi
tality and hearty cheer of their Ottum
wa friends who value in high esteem
their acquaintance.

RICHARD CAME BACK.
Dick Dodd Located at Clayton, 111.—A
Burglary and a Cutting Scrape.
From Monday's Dally.
Richard Y. Dodd arrived in the city
Sunday morning in the custody of
Sheriff Slutts, and will attend the
street fair and otherwise amuse him
self until the trial of Samuel Ritchie,
one of the Eldon bank robbers, takes
place. Mr. Dodd had been visiting at
the home of relatives in Clayton, 111.,
and forgot to return when the Ritchie
case was set for trial. The machinery
of the law was. put in operation with
the result that he was located at Clay
ton. Sheriff Slutts left for that place
Saturday morning and brought his
man back. Dodd has evidenced a re
luctance lately to testify against the
men who have been captured for the
Eldon bank robbery, and it is said, is
of the opinion that he has been of
enough
service to the state in securing
convictions, -»but will doubtless tell
what he knows on the trial of the
Ritchie case without any trouble.

Mrs. Harris occupied a room in the
second story and the intruder entered
their room but neither heard him. He
overlooked two gold watches and a
revolver that were lying on the dresser
in the same room. Mr. Harris also
had $12 in the pockets of another pair
of pants which were hanging up in the
room, but the money was not molest
ed. There is no clue to the perpetra
tor of the deed.
T. J. Ultn is suffering from a wound
In the left side of his neck, caused by

him in a compromising position. Ulin
paid a visit yesterday afternoon to
the house of Mrs. David Chesser in the
East End', and while there was con
fronted by Mrs. Chesser's divorced
husband. The trio had some words
and Ulin claims that Chesser struck
his ex-wife with a chair. UUn inter
fered and claims that Chesser drew a
knife and made a slash at him, cut
ting him on the left side of the neck,
making a gash a couple of inches In
length Bind missing the jugular vein by
a fraction of an inch. Dr. Cass Shel
ton was called and attended to Ulln's
injuries, which are not serious. Ches
ser gave himself up this morning and
will be tried this afternoon, together
with a wagon load of Smoky Row fe
males who were gathered in last even

C. P. R. HOUSE BOAT.
A Most Delightful Outing Home for
Those Who Desire It.
The new C. P, R. house .boat which
is now completed and ready for occu
pation has been visited by a large
number of Nelson people, all of whom
declare it to be an ideal outing home.
The boat is completely furnished in.
every respect.. Thie four state rooms
with their four double and four single
berths are equipped with everything
one would desire ih a' bedroom at
home. In the dining room is'all that
a dining room requires, silverware,
glassware, etc., and the room itself'is
sufficiently large to accommodate any
party that could travel ,ou the boat.
The kitchen is complete, too, and in
fact, there is nothing lacking .any
where. All of the rooms are carpeted
and the hallway is laid with oilcloth.'
Upstairs you are in the open air, with
an awning to shield you from the sun
and a hammock if you would lay down
and read and rest. No more delight
ful place, to spend a week or two, could
be imagined, provided, of course, the
boat is anchored in some one of the
thousand beauty spots of Kootenay
Lake. Nowhere, perhaps, in all the
Dominion of Canada is there a body '.of
water offering to the ma,n of the reel
and fly or he of the gun such induce
ments as are offered anywhere on
Kootenay Lake, and nowhere are there
more .delightfully secluded places than
can be found here. And it is to giye
visitors the opportunity of seeing all
this, under most pleasant conditions,,
that the C- P. R. has caused to be built
this house boat.' It is to be rented to
parties and at a figure which makes'it
witnin the reach of everyoue who can
afford an outing. The boat itself will
rent at $5 per day, with a minimum
charge of $20. It Will be' towed to any,
point that can be reached from Nelson
at the regular towage charge Of 50
cents a mile, with a minimum towage
charge of $5. All that those who rent
the boat have to do,- Is ,td stock1 It with
eatables and drinkables. Nothiog 'else
is required by them unless they deslte
a servant and this the C. P. R. officials
will undertake to secure for them.
