COUDEN, the blind chaplain of the House of Representatives, has lately had to endure a further affliction. His devoted wife, who for many years has guided his steps every morning to the Capitol for the opening exercises of the House has suffered a paralytic stroke, and his daughter has now taken her place. In appreciation of his many years of service the House, on motion of one of the Republican leaders has adopted a special resolution granting a substantial increase to Mr. COUDEN’S salary. A Democratic member from Indiana interposed a characteristic objection to such “extravagance”, but he was promptly overruled. Rep. RUREAU. ~ Robbers Caught ~ Stanley C. DAVIS, alias KING and Joseph HAWKINS, the youngsters who were arrested by Carrol BYRD for the robbery of Funk’s Drug Store at Festus, were taken to St. Louis Thursday by Sheriff CLARK and United States Post Office Inspector, B. F. CAIN. the boys were wanted by the Post Office apthorities[sic] for robbery of the post office at Maupin, Missouri. It is understood that they have the postal stuff cached in St. Louis and they were taken there to locate it as well as the remainder of the stuff stolen from the drug store. Davis, altho only about 21 years old is said to have a police record from coast to coast and to have Bertillion measurements in most of the principal cities of the country. It is not known whether they will be prosecuted here for the robbery of the drug store or turned over to Uncle Sam, but in any event the young men face a long term of penal servitude as they have admitted their guilt to both cases or so we are informed. [page 1, column 6] ~ Cost of the War ~ Fourteen nations made up of fifty different races are involved in the war which has made Europe a slaughterhouse for two years and a half, and according to the latest estimates, a toll of more than six million lives has been taken at the war fronts, to say nothing of the thousands of non combatants who have died. The contending nations are: Russia, Italy, Ronmania[sic], Serbia, Japan, Montenegro, Portugal, Central Powers - Germany, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria. In addition to the dead, placed at six million, it I estimated by the War Study Society of Copenhagen that the wounded on Dec. 1st, totaled 13,119,516 and that the invalids numbered 3, 935,938. And the missing, thos whose fates? will never be known, it is estimated will reach nearly five million. The heaviest losses of the war, as estimated by the War Study Cociety up to the first of the month are distributed as follows: Country Dead Wounded Austria 718,000 1,117,000 Belgium 50,000 116,000 Bulgaria 25,000 60,000 England 205,000 532,000 Fra[nce] 886,290? 2,225,000 Germany 885,000? 3,116,000 Italy 103,000 215,000 Russia 1,498,000 3,320,000?

MOZLEY of Bloomfield, who for many years has represented the Iron Mountain Railroad in this and other southeast Missouri counties has resigned his position to succeed to the position held by Judge Moses WHYBARK as General Attorney for the Frisco. Judge WHYBARK gave up the place which he has held since the Frisco came into this territory and has made a splendid official for that railroad. MOZLEY has made a splendid reputation as a successful lawyer, and has endeared himself to the people of the county with whom he associated during this trips here. He is an orator of the convincing sort and is a man of large information, of broad gauge, of liberal ideas and of high ideals as to social and civic life. He will no doubt make Cape Girardeau his headquarters and is sure to be a force in that city. Mr. H. H. LARRIMOR, who has been assistant to Judge James F. GREEN at the general law office of the Missouri Pacific Ry. in St. Louis will have charge of Jefferson, Iron and Washington Counties. J. C. SHEPPARD at Poplar Bluff will have charge of BUTLER, STODDARD, RIPLEY and WAYNE and W. C. RUSSSELL at Charleston will have charge of the remaining couties[sic] of Southeast Missouri. ~ Pierre L. CLERC Convicted ~ Pierre L. CLERC, charged with assault with intent to kill Felix LEUTZINGER was convicted and fined $100.00 by a jury in the circuit court this week. It is said that the jury originally stood 8 for acquittal and 4 for conviction and on the next ballot 9 for acquittal. CLERC’s defense was that he was temporarily insane, due to the fact that he claimed that LEUTZINGER had invaded and despoiled his home. LEUTZINGER denied all or any improper action and the trial resulted as stated. CLERC will not appeal from the decision and it is hoped that this will be the end of the matter, altho there is some talk that CLERC will sue LEUTZINGER for damages. ~ Marriage Licenses ~ Conrad BAUMGARTH..............St. Louis Margaret HEINEMAN...............

Cards of Thanks, twenty-five cents; Resolutions, one dollar. Obituary poetry, five cents per each six words Subscription Price - One Year, One Dollar Six Months, Fifty Cents. In Advance Hillsboro, Mo, Thursday, January 18, 1917 ~ News Comment And Editorial ~ The United States Supreme Court has upheld what is known as the Web-Kenyon Act, and every state will have complete control of the sale of intoxicating liquors. Hereafter prohibition states may forbid the conveyance into the state of liquors, and consequently interstate carriers would not be protected for violation of such a law. It looks very much as though the prohibition idea is gaining ground constantly and it is propheted by many well informed men that the Republican and Democratic parties in their next national platform utteranaces will declare for prohibition. What we think, more likely, is that William Jennings BRYAP will again seek the Presidency as the nominee of a National Prohibition Pary. Col. W. F. CODY is reported dying at this home near Denver, Colorado. He is better known to the youth and to most of the citizens of the country as “Buffalo Bill”. He is about the last of the picturesque figures of the country famous as a mighty hunter and scout and[sic] did some real service for his country, without ever having gained the reputation of being a gun man, the, there were perhaps few men in the country more expert than he in the use of rifle and revolver “The Leak” at Washington is still agitating Congress.When men make fortunes on the stock market, on advance information of Presidential action likely to affect the market, it is time to make a thorough investigation and ascertain and make public the names of the guilty parties. On another occasion it will be remembered that fortunes were made on the market by the giving of such advance information and no one ever brought to account. If a leak exists it certainly ought to be stopped. The Children’s Code legislation to come before the Legislature at this session is very important and should be adopted. The code in brief provides for the establishment of juvenile courts in the counties; for the payment of pensions by the counties to poor mothers with little children whose fathers are dead or in institutions, so that they may raise their own children at home; for the protection of children born out of wedlock, compelling the fathers to support them whent he fathers can be reached; for the guardianship of child workers for the revision of laws pertaining to marriage, and for many other measures of a related nature, all designed to carry out the principle of child protection and nurture. Some of these details we will discuss later. The code calls for no appropriations of money by the state, and the expenditure of money by the counties rests with the counties themselves. There can be no objection to the code, therefore, on financial grounds. It can be considered solely on its merits as an advanced and enlightened system of laws for the welfare of the children of Missouri. There is no party question involved in it. Whatever may be the differences of opinion as to detail, every member of the Legislature ought to be for it and work for it.
