The contract was not renewed on account of Carlton wanting to raise the price per month higher than his old contract. Each carrier was paying the liveryman a month for a horse to ride around the route. One of the carriers stated that the raise to a month was too much and the carriers would not pay it. "We are going back to our old way," said Jess Palmer, one of the rural carriers, "nearly all the boys have purchased horses and those who haven't will be ready bv Mo nday to use their own outfit."

Cdme in and look things over. HOME Says Chillicothe Institution in Doing a Great Reformatory Work for the State. In tbe course of a write-up of Missouri's reformatory institutions by Homer Baaaford in the St.

Louis Republic, the following tribute to the good work that is being done by the Industrial Home for Girls is contained: "Girls who come here are taught useful work. They are taught the religion of cleanliness. They are taught' that labor is honorable; that marriage is good when seriously undertaken; that the honest life is the only life worth while. There are some failures. This follows as a regrettable matter of course.

It is only a wonder that the percentage of reformations is so unpromising material considered. "The matron points out that many of the girls who have left the school are happily married; that scores are employed profitably, some of them in stoies, some of them as stenographers, some as cooks and some in ordinary domestic service, all of them, however, helpful to themselves and worthy members of the communities in which the live. "In nearly every case of the many that annually pass through this reformatory for girls, to call the place by its right name, there would have been worse than a failure had not the State stepped in. "The school at Chillicothe has existed since 18S8, and the cost of maintenance runs to something like a year. This sum does course.include extraordinary expenses, such as the erection of a new building or the purchase of ground.

"Just now the school owns about fifty acres of land, with a cottage plan of housing the State's wards who are assembled there. In all the time the school baa existed the management has dismissed only one girl for incorrigibility. "A good many, it may be said, are incorrigible as the word sfoes, when they reach the school, but their corrigibility is easily proved by ths record. "Of all the girls married out of last year's class of seventy-seven, who were sent oat of the school only one has separated from her husband, and she is reported by the watchful matron, who continues in communication after the schooling is over, as having good employment. "Out of the seventy-seven dismissed five have been lost sight of and only four are aet down by Mrs.

Mackay, the superintendent, as having done badly. "Mrs. Mackay says that when the girls leave the State school they enter what is practically a new world for them. The superintendent assists the dismissed pupils in securing employment that will fit the training the girls have had, and this employment brings them into surroundings the like of which they never knew in their old life." SUSPENDS TAX COLLECTIONS. B.

Thorp, county collector, announced Friday that the term of office for which he wasaoooint- ed by Governor Folk having ex- piied, be would not collect any more taxes until definite action was taken by the legislature on the bill now pending, which, if it should be paesed, would require him to turn over the tax books for 1907 to the township collectors. have 700 pounds of fresh, hand-made Italian creams, 25c candy, to sell, Saturday, at lOc per pound.

FORMER CHILLICOTHE ATTORNEY FINED IN KANSAS CITY. Judge Parks Instructed Him Not To Repeat Question to Twice. Lola Thomas Grider was suing the Metropolitan Street Railway Company for a personal injury, in Judge Park's division of the circuit court Thursday. In cross- examination Charles A. Loomis, an attorney for the street railway, tried to make her tell what a doctor had treated her for prior to her injury.

Her attorney objected and Judge Park sustained the objection. Loomis pressed the question again, says tbe Kansas City Journal. "That question has been ruled as improper," said Judge Park." "I must ask you not to preas it. But Loomis changed the form of the question and asked it again. Then Judge Park fined him.

In the afternoon the girl's mother was on the stand and Mr. Loomis asked her the same question he had asked the daughter. "I told you this morning that that question was entirely improper," said Judge Park, "and I now fine you another for disobeying a ruling of the court. If it happens again I'll give you the limit." Loomis. did not repeat the quesion.
