of the THE SALINE REPUBLICAN. VIII. MARSHALL, SALINE COUNTY, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1899. NO. 21 DULANEY BROS LOST.

Case Against Buffum Thrown out of Court After Evidence of Plaintiffs Had Been Introduced. The case of Dulaney Bros. lumber dealers ot Slater against F. W. Buffum, secretary and manager of LaCrosse Lumber Company which has been before the Circuit Court of this county for almost a week, suddenly terminated Tuesday morning.

The suit was for 000 and the allegations charged that the defendant, a member of Missouri -Kansas Lumber Dealers Association had unlawfully conspired to ruin the business of the plaintiffs, because they were not members of the association. After the evidence of the plaintiffs had been completed Monday, the attorneys for the defense entered a demurrer to the evidence. Judge Samuel Davis, who presided held that the evidence of the plaintiff had given 110 grounds for action and sustained the demurrer entered, thus throwing the case out of court. The costs which in this case will probably run between $1500 and $2000, on ac count of the large number of wit nesses subpoenaed from all parts of the state, must be stood by the plaintiffs. The attorneys for Delaney Bros.

were Leslie Orear, Syd Burkes, Harvey Gower; the counsellors for the defense were Judge Elijah Robinson and Carkener of Kansas City Dave Ball of Louisiana, Rector Lyons. The case attracted considerable interest and the tilts between the attorneys doubtless made jury duty more pleasant than on ordinary occasions.

Sam Hess and family were very pleasantly surprised on last Friday night to find that a party of young friends intended showing them a good time before the night was over. Some of the members of the family had retired, so it was certainly a complete surprise, but this made the evening all the more enjoyable. Games and conversations were enjoyed until a late by the visitors, who were Misses Pearl and Ella Mesic, Minnie, Dollie and Sadie Soper, Pearl Oldham, Nellie Ryan, Daisy Knight, Rebecca Hess and Messrs. Ed Soper, Ernest Putch, Scudder and Briscoe. No Right To The woman who is lovely in face form and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attractive must keep her health.

"The tickle grass that covers the Missouri Campus' though coated with a few inches of snow, could not held in, after the news of Central's defeat had been received here. It Was too much for the wiry blades, that are inclined to see the funny side of life, but which Central boasted, would never again have the nerve to laugh. Ha ha! Do you hear that Fayette, over there in that hollow between hills? No doubt if you could, it would sound like the goulish glee which stands out in the ravings of McCullough. "Is Missouri Valley happy? Well I guess, yes." But defeat is bad enough, so we will resist the temptation to retaliate in unkind words that would produce fresh wounds. The subject of the debate was as to the relative influence, France and Germany have bad upon civil ization, and was held in Fayette Monday night, before a good house, who doubtless went away sorowful as 110 M.

V. C. delegation cared again enjoy those courtesies and kindnesses that are always lavished upon visitors from here when in Fayette. F. M.

Ziegel and E. V. Hayden, two very promising young speakers of the college, and active literary society workers, represented M. V. C.

and so ably did they uphold her fair reputation, that Central, with alleber record for oratoricals won in the past, simply wasn't in it. Evans aud very ably upheld the Latin race with strong arguments, effectively presented, but it was no use. M. V. C.

was clearly the winner and the judge so decided. The representatives from here who were accompanied by Mr. Hail who acted as committeeman in arranging the contest, returned home the next day at noon, over the Missouri Pacific, and M. V. C.

did'nt have to meet them with hearse either, as Central did after the last State Oratorical. Wednesday the victory was fittingly I celebrated with appropriate exercises which wound up in general love feast. Probably Smallpox. Probably Smallpox. The dread disease of smallpox, which has lately proved so fearful in its effects at Bosworth seems to have crossed the river.

It is reported here on reliable authority that Sweet Springs people are scared up over a seeming case in their community. Mr. J. N. Blankenship lately in the clothing business in that city visited Carrollton recently, where a case now exists, and was taken sick shortly after his return home.

The indications to smallpox, though the physicians waiting upon him have not made any itative announcement to that effect. The fact that he has been removed to the Spring grounds in the suburbs of the town and is now quarantined would indicate that every precaution is being taken, with what is evidently feared to be a case of the scourge. High School Open Session. On Thursday afternoon, a number of the old students of the Marshall High School carried out a very nice program that had been contrived by Miss Whitaker and other members of the faculty for the pleasure of the pupils. It was rather a surprise to the pupils, though they had an inkling of something out of the ordinary, being set for that day, they did not know what it was.

It was doubtless of equal pleasure to the students to recall their happy school days, in such exercises before their successors in the halls of their Alma Mater. Miss Emily Robertson made the opening address and presided in her free and easy way. Music both vocal and instrumental was furnisHed by Misses Catherine Cordell, Lillie Page, Francis Napton, Maidie Montague, Miss Merry and George McMillan, which was well received. The other exercises were along literary lines. Miss Whitaker and Prof.

Nelson closed the program with very excellent talks, thanking the performers for having responded to their call. Surprise Wedding. The wedding of Miss Bessie Latimer came very nearly being celebrated on her 18th birthday which was Thursday, the nuptial rites being performed the next day.
