however, that it did me no good. On

Miked me to try Peruna. In a few

If Al Kennedy Shot and Killed W.

v. i Fort Scott BepnbUcin.
U Al Kennedy, the father of MifS
$ Maude Kennedy, a young lady of
Bronaon, who was ruined last winter
while on a visit to Iola with a mar
ried man named W. R.Brandenburg,
Saturday night at 10 o'clock shot
and killed the man who was respon
lble for the girl's downfall. The
shooting took place in the street at
Bronson by the side of Love Bros,
grocery store. The men met on the
side walk and without speaking
a word Kennedy drew his revolver, a
thirty-eight calibre, and fired two
hots, one of which took effect in the
upper part of the stomach. Bran
denburg died in twenty minutes.
One Killed and One Hurt
While Sleeping on Track.
St. James, Mo., July 22-While re
turning from escorting young women
boms from a revival meeting last
night, Georgeughes, Webster and
Marvin Gorman, safe down on the
Frisco railway tracks and fell asleep.
A westbound train came along,
crushing Hughes' head and one hand
and arm. Webster G ortoan was also
Injured on the head and shoulder.
Marvin Gorman was unhurt. Hughts
died this morning, and Gorman's re
covery Is doubtful.
"A Joplin negro was making his
will and requested ef his lawyer that
when he died he be buried in Monett.
In Monett,' exclaimed the lawyer,
excitedly, 'why do you want to be
burled In Monett?' 'Well, it's like
.Ma ' anld the nefl-ro. 'when the devil
'joes out looking for negroes,
f Monett's the last place he'll think of
jfgolmg, and that's why.'";
Experiment In
Public Ownership.
From tb. Globe-Democrat.
Practical trials of munlciple own
ership vary so much that all actual
figures relating to the subject have a
peculiar value. The Columbia, (Mo)
Herald has an article on the opera
tion of the water and light plant In
that city, which was taken over from
a private corporation on August let
last. In the nine months since the
municipality took hold the number
of consumers has increased and the
pries tor both light and water has
been reduced. The city now receives
free, all the water and light required
tor public purposes. Under private
ownership taxpayers paid f 7,500 a
year for this public service. In nine
months the income of thevplant has
exceeded the outgo by $ 2. 100 though
the increase In water and light con-
sumption has been 23 per cent, while
the reduction in the cost of opera
ting the plant is over 20 percent. A
new plant will be opened shortly with,
double the capacity ot the one in
use
Good management In this instance
speaks for itself. But sometimes
that necessary feature Is lacking and
the figures are on the wrong side.
Municipal ownership is a good thing
if those charged with its control are
honest and efficient. Under incom
petent or crooked officials it Is, of
course, a failure. The public owner
ship and public utilities ceased to be
an abstract Idea long ago. In the
year 1902 there were in Great Britain
831 municipalities owning water
works, 99 owning street railroads,
40 owning gas works and 181 sup
plying electricity, Out of the profits
from its municipal street railways
Sheffield has invested $75,000 tor
the erection of shops to be rented.
Liverpool's vast docks are municipal
property, and that city has erected
over 2,000 model tenements. Muni
cipal ownership is a success, if the
administration is sound. Otherwise
it is a snare for fruitless debt and
ends iu loss.
Fact and Fiction Mixed.
"William E. Curtis, one of Ameri
ca's prominent newspaper men who
recently revisited St. Clair county
for the first time since he was releas
ed by the James gang which took
him prisoner on the occasion of his
former visit in 1863, has written an
article for the Chicago Record
Herald," says the Humansville Star
Leader, "which all the papers in this
section which know the history of
the Youngers and Jameses say is
largely fiction. The main criticism
is that he got his facts and locations
wrong. He told all about St. Clair
connty'w bond story and repeated
the tales of the brush courts and
judges who laid out their time in jail
or in the woods biding. He gave a
very nice description ot Osceola
and the library of T. M. Johnson,
of that city, which is one of the
finest in the world. Mr. Johnson is
the son of Waldo P. Johnson, ex
pelled from the United States Senate
for treason In 1863, who afterwards
represented Missouri as senator in
the Confederacy at Richmond. He
was practical author of the consti
tution of Missouri. , After the war
he returned to Osoeola and his son,
T. M., stUl lives at the old home
stead where he has erected a ire
proof building tor his books."
Former Missourian Drowns

Las Vegas, N.M., July 22.-Robt.
Alexander, for years a deputy United
States marshal In the western dis
trict of Missouri, committed suicide
during the night by throwing him
self into a cooling vat at the hot
springs. He left a note saying ill
health caused tha act.

Treasury Deficit Shows Enor
mous Increase of Expendi
tures Over Receipts.
Washington, July 22. The Treas
ury deficit for the first 20 days of
the new fiscal year amounts to more
than half the deficit tor the whole
ot last year. The , figures at the
close ot business weref 15,fl85,25.r.
This ratio will not, of course, be
maintained during the entire year,
for if it were the treasury would be
well nigh bankrupt.
The figures are interesting as go
ing to show what was contended
prior to the close of the fiscal year
that accounts were held back and
and payments withheld so as to keep
the deficit for the year down to as
low an amount as possible and
make it appear that the official esti
mates were not far from the actual
results.
Many accounts that would ordin
arily have been promptly paid were
held up and the present excess of ex
penditures over receipts added to the
125,000,000 shown by the books on
June SO last year. It likewise illus
trates how nicely the Treasury books
are juggled at any time when It Is
sought to present any particular
showing.

Girl Sucked Poison
From Boys Arm.
From the Injianipolis Newt.
Stroudnburg, Pu. By the bravery
of Miss Lucy Ernst the life of Ralph
Jchoenhut was saved, after he had
been bitten by a rattler at Porter's
lake. Both are children of well
known Philadelphlans, the boy being
about 17 and the girl a little young
er. They went out to get bark to make
souvenirs, and while the young man
was stripping a small tree a rattler
struck him in the right arm, just be
low the shoulder.
Miss Ernst at once offered her help.
She ripped the boy's shirt open and
saw that his arm was getting dark.
She then took a pen knife and cut a
gash in his arm and sucked the
poison from the wound, saving his
life at the peril of her own. Both
will recover.
Grave Trouble Foreseen.
It needs but little foresight, to tell
that when your stomach and liver
are badly affected, grave trouble is
ahead, unless you take the proper
medicine tor your disease, as Mrs.
John A. Young, of Clay, N. Y., did.
She says: "I had neuralgia of the
liver and stomach, my neart was
weakened, and I could not eat. I
was very bad for a long time, but in
Electric Bitters, I found just what I
needed, tor they quickly relieved and
cured me." Best medicine tor weak
women. Sold under guarantee by
Frank T. Clay, druggist, at 50c a
