Letter From Monegaw. With a very pleasant company the editor and his family is spending a two weeks’ vacation at Southwest Missouri's historic watering place and summer resort, Monegaw Springs. So much has been said and written about these fameus springs, and so many of our readers have visited them, that we feel that we can write nothing new, but re- membering the proverb that a goed thing is worth repeating, is our ex- cuse for this isfliction. From the time the famous old Indian Chief- tain, whose name it bears, with hie many braves cast their tepees on its banks and drank of its life giving waters, their medicinal qualities have been recognized, and their wonderful and radical eures are mat- ters of legendary history. A more romantic spot could hardly be A soda pop bottle, which he was putting om ice in the cooler in the caboose, exploded and he was badly cut about the face with the flying glass. It is thought he will lose the sight of one eye. Springfield was shecked, and with good reason, Monday, at the revolt- ing spectacle on one of the principal streets of a boy less than 5 years old so intoxicated that he was unable to rise from the gutter where he had fallen, the liquor having been given him by his inhuman father, who himself was uproariously drunk. The little fellow was carried away by his uncle while the brute of a parent was taken to jail. Sometimes the lack of a whipping post and laws for its use seems most deplorable.— Ex. Changed Day of Flower Parade. The Rich Hill Fair Association has changed the date of the cake walk and flower parade. The flower parade will be on Wednesday and the cake walk on Friday. Tkis is made at the earnest solicitation of the ladies who are decorating carri- ages and buggies for the parade. They wanted to decorate their vehi- cles before the fair, and, by having the flower parade on Wednesday they ean remove the decorations as soon as the parade is over and thus have their vehicles for use during the balance of the fair.—Rich Hill Review. Used a Shotgun. Clinton Democrat. At daylight Friday morning a man named Dodson living at Chilhowee, while bringing a load of chickens to town stopped in front of M. E. Lane’s home about two miles north of town, to fix his harness. Mr. Lane heard both his chickens in the rear of his lot and the chick- ens in Dodson’s wagon making a noise, and running out saw the wagon stopped and supposed it was some depredator. He says: “As I ran to the gate, the man began to drive away, and I wanted to investi- gate and cailed on him to halt. The man said, ‘D— you, I'll shoot you.’ I had my shotgun and fired at him.” The load of shot scattered over Dodson’s person from his face to his feet. He came to town and Dr. Griffith picked most of the shot out. He is at the Victoria hotel. Mr. Lane immediately surrendered him- self to Sheriff Callaway. Mr. Dodson, it is said, is a well known resident of Chilhowee, buy- ing up chickens and bringing them to town before daylight to avoid the heat of the day trip. Happy Hill Items.

Situated in a beautiful valley, through which runs Monegaw creek, surrounded by wood-covered hills, with caves, deep ravines and many places of interest to lovers—of rugged scenery. Black sulphur sprimgs is the priacipal one around which campsare pitehed. It bubbles up out of the sandy soil on the south bank of the creek and its de- lightful oders very much resemble that of rotten eggs. On the north bank, nearly opposite, waters gush from a threeinch iron pipe, clear and cold. These waters have a sulphur taste but the deposit is white, resembling magnesia. To the north-west, three quarters of a mile isthe white sulphur springs and about equal distance to the north- east is the Iron Springs, the waters of whieh is strongly impregnated with iron. To the north, on top of a high hill overlooking the whole is the old log hotel, ante dating the OLD SETTLERS’ SOCIETY Will Hold a Pienie in Butler Tharsday. Sept. 28th, 1899.

Peter Doran abandoned his work in south part of town Friday of iast week on account of the fact that tue} kind of stratum in which he was at/ that time indicated that no gas could be obtained at any reasonable depth. Mr. Doran quit drilling in a very fiae deposit of lead and zine and according tothe experience of reliable prospectors no great amount is ever discovered where lead and zine are found. But this effort of our people to obtain gas has net been entirely unprofitable. It has shown that there is a rich stratum of lead and zinc ore about 185 feet below our surface. This, if in pay ing quantities, is much more valua ble than gas, and our people will not be slow to immediately ascertain the extent of this deposit.—Merwin Mirror. war of the rebellion, and very little improved in appearance since our first visit, twenty-one years ago. Tou the south about 14 miles runs the Osage river, overhanging which are the fameue bluffs which all tourists visit, and many carve their names in the rocks, no doubt, as warnings for future generations. Under these cliffs the doodle bugs dwell in the sand and come forth only to the most seductive persuasion. This was a favorite rendezvous of the Jemes and Younger brothers in the early seventies About twe miles te the east is where the fight took place between the Youngers and the detectives, in which John Younger and one of the detectives were killed. The cabin of Aunt Hannah, a vener- able negress, is located near and it was there Younger was carried to die. Aunt Haunah was a slave of the Younger family and was very much attached to the boys. She has a fund of reminisenees of their doings and she is consequently a great favorite of tourists. We are camped on the spot where the posse from Appleton City, com- manded by Capt. H. ©. Donnohee, was captured by Cole Younger and one ef his brothers. The story goes that the beys, after disarming the posse, marched them up the hill to the old log hotel and ordered break- fast for them, and Cole stood over them, with a pistol in each hand, politely requested the boys to eat hearty. The boys composing the posse afterwards declared that while their appetites were not first class they all managed to eat a hearty meal. They were then lined up, fully expecting to be skot. Cole made them a speech, warning them against further endeavors to capture him and his brother, then after com- pelling the sheriff to eat his warrant, started them home. Our camp is pleasantly located in a grove north of the creek The company of twenty is as follows: Hon. D. A. DeArmond, General 4. CO. Clark and wife, Captain James, Cadet Edward and George DeAr mond, Dr. Zey, Cadet Frank Keller, Misses Edith Everingham, Dot Clay, Lillie Eakin, Pearl and Regina Rosser, Netlie Austin, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Alien and three sens, Robert, William and Jacob. Conventionalities are laid aside and a jolly good time is had. Nick- names predominate, and instead of haughty generals and profound judges, we hear such names as “Industrieus Ike,” “Meddlesome Dave,” ‘Collar button Frank,” “Mugs,” ete. Our principal pleas- ures consists in keeping cool in the heat of the day, with an oceasional game of ‘Razzle dazzle” In the evening the merry-go-round, shoot- ing gallery, bowling alley, dancing, with music in camp led by Henry Stewart. Thereis a kind of free- masonery among us which prevents us telling any of the jokes and seerets.
