In defending his action Mr. Clay- |comb said that the Bible isdsuthority for the statement that wine is good }for the stomach and for the health, and says nothing against the sale of | liquor.’ He says he will stand pat on his position on the liquor question. He attended last Thursday night's |meeting and announced that he was willing to defend himself then and there. Mr. Claycomb joined the church in- | stitution only a short while before he | delivered a saloon speech in the Club Theater of this city. His brethren |now maintain he helped the saloon ‘men win the election, and they de- | mand an explanation. Mr. Claycomb’s Club Theater talk was unusual. With an array of whisky and beer on either side of 'him he explained he had secured the | liquor from Kansas joints. “I would rather see Joplin have li- }censed saloons than_ unlicensed | joints,’’ he exclaimed. He quoted repeatedly from the Bible where reference was made to | the drinking of wine and other intoxi- | cating liquors. In those days, he said, the Bible in- dicates the people had an awful thirst for mention is made of their drinking enough wine to put an ordinary man under the table. Mr. Claycomb argued that coffee drinking did more harm than liquor drinking. The deacons took the matter under consideration, and Mr. Claycomb was informed months ago that such steps possibly would be taken against him. About 150 men and women attended last Thursday night’s session. The deacons of the church are J. F. Mar- latt, J. R. Thomb, John W. Rains, J. S. Gravelle, Lee Rosenbaum, J. H. Stuart (chairman), and Clement Steele, elected to take the place of Henry How, who resigned soon after the Claycomb agitation was started. Mr. Claycomb was lieutenant gov- ernor while David R. Francis was governor. é His Fee $100—-Confederate. Beaver, Ok., April.—A young cou- ple presented themselves to the Rev- erend Mr. Buckland, asking to be married.

It has been plainly ‘obvious for sev- 's that the price of butter is ") controlled by some arbitrary system affecting the market, but few believ- ed the control to be so centralized as is indicated inthe reports from Wash- ington, where, as a result of the in- vestigations made by a congressional committee, the department of Justice has ordered a prosecution of the but- ter trust, otherwise the Elgin Board jof Trade. The evidence seems to show, how- ever, that whether the Elgin Board of Trade directly ‘controls the butter market of the country oYnot, or whether it participates in the benetits of excessive prices beyond the bound- aries of a few. states, it, at least, in- directly influences the prices of the 5.

The Demon of the Air f the health of conventions of whole country. | Perhaps the country now may learn !why itis that in spite of improved | breeding of milch cows, the scientific | development of butter making, and the greatly increased production of butter, there has not been for sev- ‘eral years even a short period of low | prices on this necessity. There have been fluctuations, but only between extortionate prices in the periods of | greatest scarcity and- high prices at | other times. One of the most encouraging fea- jtures of the proposed prosecution of the butter trust is that the makers of is the germ of la grippe, that breath- | oleomargarine—the packers—ha ve ed in, brings suffering te thousands.

St. Louis, Mich., April: 11.—A few days ago Mayor John Burns of St. Louis received a tele from some self-appointed female cen- | sor of the city’s morals, saying a, young woman was dewn on Main street in tights and filmy lingerie and that she was creating a furoro among the male element. She advised his Honor to do his duty amd clothe the brazen thing. | The Mayor, who is always on the| alert to properly protect the city’s) morals, promptly took the matter in hand and the Marshal was instructed to locate the offending hussy. After | an hour’s search he failed to locate | her and so reported to the Mayor, | who in turn reported it back to the | female Anthony Comstock. His Hon- ér was then told that the party in ab- breviated costume was a chorus girl on one of the downtown billboards, advertising a coming show. A pot of green paint was secured and a very artistic skirt painted over the objectionable part, and Central Michigan purity remains inviolate.

It isn’t always the favorite that wins. This much was easily demonstra- ted when Yussiff Mahmout, the Turk, won from Dr. B. F. Roller, in straight falls at the Missouri Athletic club's wrestling show in Convention hall. Roller was the favorite, both with the lovers of the game and the “wise and 'tis -said money changed hands at goodly odds. Mahmout was the aggressor throughout the match and kept the doctor busy breaking away from bad holds. He finally landed the physi- cian the first time with a double wrist lock and hold after thirty minutes and thirty-five see- onds of what was probably the best wrestling ever seen in this city. The doctor badly sprained his right shoulder in the first fall, but consent- ed to go on and lost the second fall in two minutes and thirty-five seconds with an arm lock and _ half nelson. The arm lock came on the doctor’s injured shoulder and the pain was so great he had to give up.—K. C.

With the advent of the Automatic Smokeless Device, and its practical application to the PERFECTION Oil Heater (Equipped with Smokeless Device) the smoke problem was successfully solved. The Perfection Oil Heater is the only heater equipped with this Automatic Smokeless Device which insures a steady, full-glowing heat, with the wick turned up as high as it will «89, without a shred of smoke. Reverse the motion, turn the wick down—there’s no odor. The smokeless device automatically locks and prevents the upward movement of the wick beyond the proper exposure. That is the secret. This splendid result gives leadership to the Perfection. You may now have all the heat you want—when you want it—and where you want it—without the annoyance of smoke or odor. Brass font holds 4 quarts of oil, which permits a glowing heat for 9 hours, Brass wick tube—damper top—cool handle. Cleaned in a minute. The Perfection is beautifully finished in Nickel or Japan.
