VOL, XXXVI." ly Ci isto, rica; lays + BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1914. NUMBER 40 Missouri News in Brief Secrétary of the Treasury McAdoo has seclected the site for the public building at Butler, Mo., offered by T. J. Smith. Earl Allen, 20 years old, an em- ploye of the Dewey, Ok., Post Office, ‘was attacked by a vicious dog and his right ear bitten off. Allen was re- moved to a hospital in Kansas: City, where another ear will be grafted on his head to replace the one he lost. Prof. E. H. Hughes of the College of Agriculture brought in from a field on the State Farm a stalk of corn fif- teen feet high. It is three inches “thick at the base and the ears a foot long. Some of it will be used in the Migsouri exhibit at the Panama-Pacific .An invitation to pass through Kan- ‘sas City on the way to the Panama- Phcific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915 will be on every letter and circular going out of Kansas City, if the Commercial Club has its way. Small electrotypes of a poster portraying Kansas City as the “Heart of America,’ with a trans- continental train speeding through, will be furnished each print shop and stationer. They will be requested to stamp each letter head and circular with the design. According to quotations given by Swift & Co., the wholesale prices of beef and pork on July 18, at Kansas City: were advanced 1 to 14 cents a pound, making an advance of 2 to 44 Exposition. While seeing South Fork on July 16, near West Plains, Mo., Jeff York, 14 years old, was drowned. The seine filled with fish, was dragged into deep water. The boy was carried with it. His father, Wm. York, a farmer, and one of the fishermen found the body. A call was issued Friday by D. C. McClung, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, for a meeting to be held in the office Of the committee in this city at 3 p. m., July 23. The meeting will determine the place of meeting for the Democratic State Convention August 25. State Auditor Gordon apportioned _ Friday $213,000 of road funds be- tween the various counties and St. Louis. Of. that sum $175,000.came from the corporation tax and $28,000 cents on the low quotations early in June. The recent advance in prices of cattle to the highest position ever reported in July is responsible for the advance in wholesale prices of beef. However, they are not as high now as they were in the fall of 1912. Hog prices are creeping up also, the top price $9.05. In 1913 and 1910 hogs in July sold as high as $9.55, which makes present prices the third highest on record for the seventh month ‘in any year. State Auditor Gordon Friday certi- fied to the state superintendent of public schools that there is now in the state treasury $1,931,889.45 to be set aside for the use of the public schools. This will be the largest dis- tribution of money ever made to the schools by the state. It represents one-third of all the general revenues. |The siate superintendent will appor- from the sale of option stamps. ‘From, tion the money tothe schools of the the two funds St: Louis will get $8,- 386.51 and Jackson county $7,702.42. the erection ofa‘large cOnerete sani- fary drinking fountain: on Park Aven- ue, at Sixth street.

That eight citizens of Shelbina, Mo., hanged him toa tree and then beat -him and made him suffer other in- dignities, is the claim of Bud Davis, a negro, who through Hannibal attor- neys, filed a suit for $7,500 damages in the Shelby county circuit court recently. John and Ernest Jewett, Fletcher Affick, Thomas Collins, R. M. Spaulding, Otis See, Robert White and J. Colburn are named as defend- -ants. Geo. Lawson, an aged resident of Rich Hill became affected with the extreme heat of last Sunday, and wandered away from home. As he failed to return at the supper. hour the alarm was given and a systematic search of the city, began, with results. Mr. Lawson was found about ten o’clock near the farm of Dan Crabb, - where he had become entangled in a, barb-wire fence and was so feeble he could not extricate himself.

The pomace wine industry was dealt a heavy blow by the govern-} ment Friday when Judge Van Valk- enburgh handed down a decision in the case of the United States against Sixty Barrels-of Wine. The wine, valued at about $1,000, must go into the Missouri river at once unless an appeal is taken. The wine was shipped last October to Antonio Ba- sile & Co., wholesale wine importers 615-17 Independence Ave., from the Engels & Krudwig Wine Company of Sandusky, O. It was labeled ‘Ohio’ Claret Wine.” The government's contention was the wine had been made from the ‘‘pomace”’ of grapes by adding water and sugar. Claret wine, they explained, must be the natural juices of the grapes. The de- cision is of far-reaching effect in the United States and the defense was represented by J. H. Lenehan, attor- neys for-the Wine Growers’ Associa- tion of America, and also a represen- fative of the beet sugar industry of the United States. Francis M. Wil- son, United States district attorney, handled the case for the government and has been. working on it for two months. The-case was tried at the April term of court and some widely known wine-experts testified at the trial. The defense was a complete denial that ‘‘pomace’”’ had been used in making the wine. Government experts submitted chemical analyses in denial of that statement. * Bowler, Montana, Carbon Co.
