Kansas City accounts was given in
our last week's Issue and the sto
ries were doubtless quite amusing
to Deputy I'ristoe, after his "des
peratc run to the Coast, neck and'

Immediately after Storts' arrival
here, where he was met by a num.
bcr of Slater friends (several haV -
lug gone to Kansas City, returning
with him), the party repaired to
the court house where Storts found
no trouble in securing bond for
55000 and it is the general opinion
that 100,000 could have been se
cured as easily. The Slater par
ties returned to that city on the
last train that night.

An Important case has just been
decided by the Illinois Supreme
court, A Bank at Marshall, Mo.,
had a mortgage on some cattle that
were shipped to Chicago, but made
no effort to prevent the shipment,
falling back ou the commission
man. It was shown that they
knew that the cattle were about to
be shipped, and took no means of
preventing the removal of the cat'
tie. The case finally got to the
Supreme court, where it was de
cided that in such a case it would
be loo great a hardship to expect
the commission man to keep track
of all the mottgaged stock that
necessarily finds its way to market
from distant points. Chicago

A Dwej Picnic.
On Monday evening as a re
porter wended her way homeward
weary with the cares of an unnsu
ally warm day, her eyes were glad'
denedand her thoughts taken away
from herse'f and all the weary day,
by the sight of 14 happy children
playing upon Mrs. Jackson's lawn
their faces wreathed in smiles tand
enjoying to the fullest the good
cheer, that had been provided for
them by their kind hostess.
It was a happy thought of Mrs.
Jackson to give this little picnic to
the children in the block. Child
rci are very dear to mother Lute,
and they all love her. The party
was given in honor of little
Florence and Kathcrine Patterson,
who have been visiting on Arrow
St. for some ten days. These
little Misses acted as hostesses upo
this occasion and in their atten
tiona to the guests, set an example
that older people might welt follow,
They all assembled In the parlor
where music and recitations were
given. (Just ihluk of recitations
and, music by children so young.)
Katlierliie Vllcy played ' "My
Country TIs of Thee',' and led the
slngjng, all the childivu joining in
the singing. Margaret Leonard
and Dorothy Woodbridge gave some
instrumental music on the piano,
Bessie Sandidge recited and Flor
ene Patterson told In a very aul
mated way of "How Betsy -ami I
killed the Bear." Hach child re
cited or told some funny story.
Joe Orear presented the lfostes.4
with n huge luiiirh of lilacs, with
the bow of a Chesterfield. They
played "Loudon brldgc,""drop the
handkerchief," etc; then Mrs- JackJ
sou gave "Jack and Jill" or "The
Dutch Babies",, which'' was the
crowning feature of this delight
(nl entertainment. A regular pic
nic dinner was spread on the lawn,
'embracing feutotrirde, fnlfts jfrfd
little cakes baked In the shape of
the different animals. Wben the
sun was hiding his head in the
west and weary little feet were
ont to rest, they bade Mrs. Jack.
son a reluctant good bye. Hach
child carried with her a little sack
of "Dewey" candy with a ptcasaut
remembrance of the picnic.

Tuesday night the Musical Cul
ture Club of this city, gave its first
entertainment at the opera house,
and though greeted by an audi
ence of rather small proportions,
was well received and much enjoy'
cd by those present. Opening
with mnsical selections by the Man
dolin Club,F.tial Quartette and sev
eral solos both vocal and instru
mental, all well rendered, the pro'
gram closed with an operetta, en
titled the Spectre Knight by Al
fred CeUler, which judging from
the appropriateness of the different
parts to the several characters, a
visitor might have supposed the
play was written for this special
troupe.
There were no weaklings in the
cast and Messrs Miles and Huston
were especially fine, while Miss
Ruth Strong as the young lady
who is won by the Spectre Knight
certainly gave to the audience the
impression that she was better fit'
ted to play a leading role in a
high-class comiiany than an ama
tctir performance.

On Thursday evening, April 37,
1899, North and Northeast Mis
souri were visited by a devasting
cyclone. Portions of the cities of
Kirksville and Newton were laid
waste, causing an appalling des
truction of life and property.
About an half hundred people were
killed, and hundreds were injured
and possibly maimed fur life. The
homes of over five huudrcd families
were totally destroyed by the fu
rious elements. These families are
now thrown upon the world, des
titute and homeless, and 1 apjieal
to the charitable public to render
to these unfortunate stricken pco
pie, in this dark hour of death ami
desolation, immediate financial aid.
The citiens of Kirksville and
Newton have done and are doing
all In their tuner hy means of
medical and financial assistance to
alleviate the suffering of their fel
lowaicu, but the lovi of life and
property is so great that it is im
possible to meet all the urgent de
mands, and in the interest of hu
manity, they iipic.il to their sym
pathizing neighbors, mure fortun
ately situated.
I, therefore, request that indi
viduals, churches, cluUi, exchang
es, charitable organizations and
relief associations subscT'ilic fieety
towards the relief of these grief
stricken people. Rend offerings
