. miles east of Spruce, Friday evening, DEAD. Pioneer Citizen of Bates County Suc- combs to Pneumonia at His Home Near Foster. Judge John H. Sullens, aged 82 years and 3 months, departed this Jife at his home near Foster Monday morning, January 16, at 9 o'clock, after an illness of pneumonia. John H. Sullens was born in Wayne county, Kentucky, October 13, 1828. A short time after his birth, his par- ents moved to Missouri, and located in Miller county where he was reared to young manhood. He was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Cowan, a Kentucky girl, at the age of 19 years. In 1856 he established a general mer- chandise business in Miller county and remained at the head of this institu- tion until it’s destruction by fire, when he moved to Windsor, Canada. In 1865 Mr. Sullens returned to Mis- souri, and located in Bates county, purchasing the farm upon which he resided at the time of his death. In the spring of 1873 he was elected Presiding Judge of the County Court of Bates county, and successfully dealt with some of the most important financial issues in the history of Bates county. Being urged to make the race for the legislature, Judge Sullens resigned in the fall of 1875 and was elected representative, and served with distinction in the Twenty-ninth General Assembly. In 1886 Mrs. Sullens died, and two years later, on March 28, 1888, Judge Sullens was united in marriage to Miss Lou M. Bell who survives him. Judge Sullens has always been among the most prominent citizens of this county, and has filled, with the greatest ability and honor to himself, many positions of honor and trust. During his life time Judge Sullens was connected with many business interests, anda number of our strong- est business institutions owe in a large degree their present success to the guiding hand and influence of Judge Sullens during their infancy. Judge Sullens was for years a stock- holder and director in the Missouri State Bank of this city and at one time served as President of that institution. Judge Sullens was at one time a stockholder in The Times, and was instrumental in the founding of the Farmers Bank of Walnut at Fos- ter, of which institution he was, at the time of his death, a director. Funeral services were held at the Salem chuach Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock, and interment was ae in the Foster cemetery. Not Guilty, Says Mrs. Melber Albany, N. Y., Jan. 16.—Mrs. Edith Melber pleaded not guilty to- day to the charge of murder in the first degree before Judge Cochrane in the supreme covrt, after being in- dicted by the grand jury for killing her 5-year-old son, George Melber, by giving him carbolic acid to drink. The coroner’s decision on the in- quest is that death was due to carbolic acid. According to the specialist in men- tal diseases, who examined Mrs. Mel- ber yesterday, she is perfectly rat- ional. On this report the decision of the corner’s jury and the confession by the woman to the Rochester police, the District Attorney will base his case. Inasmuch as she confessed, the authorities would not allow her to see the body before it was buried to-day at Schenectady. She has expressed a desire to see Howard Kirk, a young Schenectady draftsman, but the police will not al- low him to visit her. JUDGE JOHN H.

This day, January 18, 1911, ends! one of the largest and greatest ‘‘Far-' mers Week’? ever held in this Uni-| versity in this state, and in fact the/ whole United States. Over 1200 of our farmer friends | visited the University and College of, Agriculture during this great. week. They listened with great interest to; the lecturers on breeding, feeding, and judging live stock; the growing of various crops, and how to increase the yield of corn, oats and wheat. The poultry and dairy husbandry | were placed in their true light. Sta- tistics show the ‘Missouri hen”’ yields a greater income to the state than any other line of farming, and yet she gets the least credit of all. The corn, apple and poultry exhibits were the most magnificent ever held at any previous ‘Farmers Week.” Every guest made a trip oy Nem prize was|the dominant party cast their votes|to see Chief Josephine and herd of fat steers.

There was a great stir of en- | |thusiasm when Professor J. F.

Every upper classman of the Col- jlege of Agriculture took it upon him- self to answer questions, direct, and entertain the: guests. He did this by pinning a yellow ribbon on his coat, with letters inscribed upon it, ‘Ask |Mel”’ bugle was sounded and.a great ban- quet was held in the University din- ing club. After partaking of the de- licious meat, furnished by the champ- ion steer Desserter, and the products furnished by the greatest cow in the world, toasts were responded to by such distinguished gentlemen as Gov.
