It is certainly heart rending to read the press dispatches concerning the present mixup in the State Board of Immigration, and we sympathize deeply with “His Excellency;"’ the Governor, in his trouble. Whether the Governor, exasperated over the failure of his pet committee for the importation of foreign labor, to locate < enough carpet bagging Republicans in the Ozark counties to elect a Re- Currens resignation, is a matter open to question in the public mind. If this were the case, H. Gellert, the Ellis Island agent of the Board, must have likewise come in for his share of gubernatorial displeasure, for his resignation also has been handed in. . Then to cap off the roiled condition of affairs, it has been announced that the governor will probably appoint G. M. Sebree, Curren’s most bitter enemy, to succeed him,—and the end is not yet. THE BATES COUNTY POULTRY SHOW. The Bates County Poultry Associa- tion has arranged to hold their First Annual Exhibition in this city Janu- ' -28, 1911 and it should bea good one. The show is in no sense of the word a financial enterprise, but publican legislature, demanded Mr is the means taken by a number of price. Fiiteen Dollars lovers of fine poultry to raise the standard of poultry growing in this county. That it isindeedacommend- able undertaking goes without saying and the ladies and gentlemen back of the movement deserve full credit for” their efforts to raise the standard of quality of one of Bates county's fore- most products. Every poultry raiser in the county should become a mem- ber of the association, whether a fan- cser or not. Fine poultry does not necessarily mean fancy poultry. The entry fee for the Poultry Show haa been placed at the nominal sur of 10 cents per bird, and noadmissior to the hall will be charged. Comes now the man advertised as “St. Louis’ most daring and prolific gambler,’ and announces that he is about to become an Evangelist. The latter profession certainly must be the best financial proposition. ROACH MAKES RECORD. Secretary of State Cornelius Roach established a new record last Friday by tabulating in nine hours, with the aid of his force, the vote cast for State officers, Congressmen, State Senators and members of the lower house of the Legislature in the 114 counties of Missouri outside of the City of St. Louis. Heretofore it has taken anywhere from three days to a week to complete this work. Miss Hattie McKibben. Miss Hattie McKibben, aged 52 years and 10 monthsdied at the home of her brother Jas. M. McKibben at Sapulpa, Oklahoma, Wednesday, No- vember 23, 1910 after a prolonged ill- ness. She was born at Pittsfield, Illi- nois, and came to this city at the age of 14, residing here until about 12 years ago when she movedaway with the family of her brother. During her residence here, Miss McKibben by her kindness and gracious disposi- tion gained herself the love and re- spect of all with whom she came in y contact.

Earl Fultz, whose home is said to be in Iola, Kansas was arrested Mon- day upon a charge of hunting without hunt and last Thursday drove out to the Welch farm in search of this festive game bird. They had been in the field but a short time when they met a hunter who was a stranger to them, The officer in the party de- manded to see his license, whereup- on the stranger seemingly became very angry and made numerous and sundry remarks—not about the weather. sae other things, he ly that he was one roperty upon which he was hunting and that he did not need a license, and —_ wound up by ordering them off the place. They went. But suspicion lingered in theif minds, and the officer finally learned that the mysterious hunter at whose com- mand they had forsaken the fertile fields, was none other than the said alicence, and thereby hangs a tale Fultz. Therefore Mr. Fultz was which is causing the local sportsmen much amusment.
