FAILED T0CASH CHECK
Stranger Attempted to Get
Check Cashed but Failed
Tuesday night a well dressed
youn man attempted to get a
check cashed in three different
places in town.
.He had a check r the First
Nitional bank for $9.40 drawn by
John L. Smith and in favor of C.
A. Ramsey. He first went to
Meagher's saloon and Saxe's,
meat market and attempted to
get the check cashed but did not
succeed in doing so. He then
went to Brown & Suttles' drug
store and bought goods to the
amount of $1.10 and tendered the
check in payment. Mr. Brown
asked the stranger a number of
Questions and was informed that
the man was C. E. Rainey and
that J. L. Smith was a farmer
and stock raiser residing seven
miles west of Monett. E. A. O'
Dwyer came in about this time
and assisted in the uuestioning.
The result was that Mr. Brown
refused to cash the check and
. placed the articles purchased
back on the shelves.
The stranger departed and of
ficers were placed on his track
but he had skipped and could net
bo found.
An inquiry at the bank devel
oped the fact that no such person
had an account there.
GAS FOR MONETT
It is now pretty well assured
that Springfield will grant a gas
franchise to Theo. B. Barnsdde
and his associates. If the fran
chise is granted the company
agrees to haae gas at the disposal
of the citizens of Springfield
within one year at a rate of MT)
cents per thousand cubic feet.
This matter is of interest to
the citizens of Monett from the
fact that in case the franchise is
granted the company will build a
pipe line through Monett, if
granted the privilege, and will
sell for lighting and fuel at tin
same price as in the other cities.
Phis will mean cheap fuel and.
lights for Monett.
FRUIT PROSPECTS ASE GOOD
Never on February first was
general conditions for a fruit,
crop more favorable than at the
present time. After consulting
with a number of, fruit growers
aid dealers we learn that the
buds on both peach and apple
trees have set unusually heavy
and the trees are in a vigorous
condition, and the ground h;is re
ceived proper attention, so that
the outlook is enc;oaragi.ig. Of
course February and Mucli are
treacherous months, but getting
thus far along in the season in
good shape reduces the minimum
of risk and we predict bumper
crops. Rogers Republican-Journal.

JEFFRIES TO TOUR THE WORLD
Chicago, 111., Feb. 1. Guaran
teed the lump sum of $ir0,0C0
for his share, or a salary of!? 1,000
per week with "0 per cent of the
profits above that amount, James
J. Jeffries will start on a ten
month's tour of the world at the
head of an athletic show on July
H, providing vi regains the title j
of world s heavy-weigat cham
pion in his meeting with Jack
Johnson on July I. Thisannounce
ment was made last night by II.
II. Frazeo, who is promoting the

IT WAS POISON
ChicaVo, Jan. 01. Col. Thomas
H. Swope, the Kansas City mil
lionaire, the cause of whose death
has been under investigation for
S'veral weeks, died from the ef-
forts of strychnine poisoning, ac
cording to a report given out here
today of the chemical analysis
made by Doctor llektoen, Doctor j
Haines and Doctor Vaughan.
The report of the medical ex
perts did not include the result
of the analysis of the contents of
the stomach of Chrisman Swope,
nephew, of Colonel Swope, who
died soon after the demise of, his
uncle under- similar circumstan
ces. The result of the investigation
into the causes of the death of
the elder Swope and his nephew
will be the basis of criminal pros
ecution, according to Prosecut
ing Attorney Virgil Conkling of
Kansas City, in which the defin
ite finding that poison caused the
death of Colonel Swope will play
!an important part.

DEMOCRATS VICTORIOUS
IN SIXTH DISTRICT
Dickinson Elected Congressman
to Succeed DeArmond By
Plurality of 3,783
Clinton, Mo., Feb. 1. Former
State Senator Clement Dickinson
of Clinton was elected today as
successor of the late Congress
man David A. DeArmond, by a
majority of :5,7h; over Phil S.
Griffith of Greenfield, his Repub
lican opponent. The Democratic
majority is the largest ever re
corded in the Sixth District.
Mr. Dickinson received 1,60;
m ;re votes than did DeArmond
in indicating that about S00
Repcllicans voted for him. It is
estimated that about 00,000 votes
or V)0 per cent of the total in the
district, were polled.
The result is believed by Dem
ocratic leaders to portend Repub
lican disaster in the election next
November and to insure the over
throw of the Cannon regime to
the next National Congress.
Some of the more enthusiastic
advance the opinion that the
Democratic gains registered to
day are a rebuke to President
Taft for his indorsement of the
Payne-Aid rich tariff law and
other unpopular measures.
The defeat of Griffith is consid
efed a hard blow to the Cannon
Aid rich crowd.

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK
Completed returns from the
Sixth district shows that Dick
inson's majority over Griffith "in
the congressional race was 3,754.
Regarding the victory Harry
M. Rubey, chairman of the Dem
ocratic State,, Committee says:
"The Sixth district election was
one of the greatest victories ever
won by the Democracy of Mis
souri. It shows conclusively the
people are not in sympathy with
either the Republican state or
national administration. All we
need in Missouri is a united par
ty,' like we now have, to win an
even greater victory in November."
