Sunday morning about 2:30 a tall, well dressed man walked into the Madison hotel at Jeffer- son City and registered as Joe Baer of St. Louis, and as the clerk turned to get his key to a room the’ stranger reached over and struck him on the head with a sandbag, knocking him uncon- scious. He then jumped over the counter and went through the cash register, taking what money there was in it and escaped. The city collector’s office was robbed the same night and it is supposed.that the same parties committed both robberies.

Hay, who is recog- nized as the leader of the ‘‘drys’’ in Missouri, will stump the state in the interest of Col. Frederick D. Gardner, the Democratie nomi- ne for Governor, and the entire Boner and State tickets, says the Jefferson City Democrat-Tri- bune. | Hay formerly represented Call- away county in the Legislature, but for several years has practiced law in St. Louis. He supported John M. Atkinson for Governor in| the recent primary campaign. | “The Democratic party did not make any mistake in nominating Col. Gardner,’’ said Mr. Hay. “He is a man of distinct per- sonality, is fearless, has been a; successful business man, and has | the esteem and respect of the vot- ers of Missouri. His popularity | was evidenced by his vote at the! primaries.

It is my same wish to see my friend Fred Gardner win by a margin so large as to convince the voters of the United States that Missouri is not a doubtful State.’’ Death of Mrs. A. Tourtillott Mrs. Anna Tourtillott died at the family home in Rich Hill Tues- day morning at 6:10 o’clock after a few day’s illness from blood poisoning. She was 55 years of age. Mrs. Tourtillot was born and jraised in Bates county, and had jlived here for 36 years. She was }a woman of fine christian charac- j ter, and a faithful wife and moth- er. She had been a constant mem- ber of the Christian church for 40 years, and was loved and respect- ed by all who knew her.—Rich Hil! Review... Get Ready.
