SPRINGS Horseback Riding and ‘MISSOURI PACIFIC IRON | MOUNTAIN / Educational Meeting. : Butler, Mo., July 1, 1912. Dear Friend: We are sending you a program of | the Educational Meeting to be held in; Butler July 15. ay We believe that much good will re- | sult from such meetings if a proper, interest is shown. We believe that we have secured men to talk who will be able to render us much help on their particular subjects, and that their subjects are as we need to know more about than at present. The teachers of the county have the reputation of never missing a meet- ing that will be helpful to them in their work and as a result Bates county has a state-wide reputation for its wide-awake and _ progressive teaching force. No other county sur- passes them on the number enrolled in summer school. We believe the clerks, school boards and patrons should be equally active and energetic about their work and duties. Such is the purpose of this meeting and we are asking that you take an interest in this matter and help arouse an interest among your patrons and especially with Trees eohool boned. We want you to program in some public call people’s attention to Have the | teachers of the county in interest and | 1912. enthusiasm for better schools. Below is a program of our educa- | tional meeting to be held in the Cir- cuit Court room in Butler, July 15, The business session will interest board members, especially district clerks. In this session we expect to take up matters pertaining to school law. The talk By Mr. Clure will be of interest to both teachers and school officials. ‘That of Mr. Emberson will be of interest to every one interested in education or school work.

Further inquiry developed the fact that what was proclaimed as a general titions among voters had thus far been confined almost entirely to sev- eral Progressive leaders of the house. The reported support of conservative Republicans, it was admitted, prob- ably will. not be forthcoming, Representative Davis of Minnesota has been actively advocating the draft- the country for voters’ signatures, He had a conference with Senator} Dixon, campaign manager for Col. Roosevelt, and it is understood the scheme was discussed at that time, No agreement was reached by the) Progressives to take up the petition plan and it was rumored that lack of| general support was responsible for the delay. A draft of a petition to be signed by the members of the house was shown to Davis and Lindbergh of Minnesota, Jackson, Rees, Murdock and Young of Kansas, Kent of Cali- fornia, Warburton of Washington and several others. They did not agree upon its terms and thus far none has signed it. ee) TUESDAY’S BASE BALL RESULTS National League. At Chicago—New York, 5-10-5; Chicago, 2-11-2. At Cincvinnati—Brooklyn, nati, 1-7-0.

CONVICTS MAKE GOOD ROADS MISSOURI'S EXPERIMENT PROV- ING A DECIDED SUCCESS. Governor Hadley Highly Pleased, and More Will be Used—None Tried to Escape. Jefferson City, July 10.—Auter a trial of three weeks with a gang of con- victs employed upon the public high- ways of this county the experiment is announced to be a decided success. None of the convicts refused to work, hone of them attempted to escape and all have been doing most satisfactory work. Gov. Hadley believes that the improvement of public highways will enable the countics to work local pris- oners on the roads. Convicts greatly prefer the outside work. It is more healthful. In addi- tion, there is the inducement of shortening their service. There are now about 2,300 men in the peniten- tiary. Under, the new law, 300 con- victs can be taken every year and em- ployed upon the public highways un- der direction of the various counties. There are now more than 1,700 con- victs working under the contract sys- tem. The state receives 70 cents a day for the labor of each of these con- victs. By the close of the present year nearly all of the old contracts will have expired and will not be re- newed, There will be a pretty heavy cost entailed upon the state when the last contractor is out of the prison—some- where in the neighborhood of $300,000. The state can have no direct source of income from the labor of the convicts when the contract system ceases to exist. The counties which may em- ploy convicts upon the public high- way will pay nothing for their labor except food and shelter. The recom- pense to the state will come in the shape of improved highways. Missouri has never tried the plan of working prisoners on the _public highways before. JURY CLEARED ASYLUM DOCTOR Not Guilty Was the Verdict in the Case of the Fulton Physician Charged With Misconduct. Fulton, Mo., July 10.—The jury in the case of Dr. R. S. Magee, former physician of the Fulton state hospital, on trial in the Callaway county cir- cuit court, to answer to the charge of official misconduct returned a verdict of not guilty more than an hour. Twelve ballots were taken before a verdict was reached. Only one of the jurors held out for conviction after the third bal- lot. Dr. Magee’s wife and two daughters were with him in the courtroom when the verdict was returned. Several persons started a demonstration, but were silenced by the court. Dr. Magee will go to Green City where he will take a long rest before deciding upon his future plans. HAS ORIGINAL IDEAS OF ‘JUSTICE Pennsylvania Burgess Has Tramps Play Ball Game for Their Liberty.
