The people throughout Macon County are learning a truth that they once acted as if they did not know; and that truth is this: A dollar in Your Pocket is worth more to you than it is in Your Neigh The Work Proceeding with Gratifying Success in Macon County. The Entire County will be Organized by Aug. 1st.

The work of organization under the auspices of the Macon County Sunday School Association, is proceeding with most gratifying results. An impetus has been given to this work which will not stop short of the complete organization of every township in the county. This, too, will be accomplished before the meeting of the State convention in August, thus giving to Macon county a fair chance of competing for, andprob- 4. r. 8 ably securing, the banner of the State Association.

And sitting there by the side of the sparkling spring whose waters are ever in a state of tumult, trying, as it were, to leap from its environments to shed its benefits upon a suffering world, one naturally turns to the faces of his com panions, and marvellous indeed is thei change that drinking the waters have made. Looking at the beautiful complexion of fair ladies, the bloom cn whose cheeks rivaling the blush of the rose at early dawn, you thankfully know that one more of nature's secrets are at the disposal of mankind, for here, at least, so a thankful husband has told me, the paints and cosmetics of the fashionable world are unknown, for they are not needed here, nature's waters being all sufficient. Leaving this garden spot with a reluctant heart I pressed onward to the Igoal of my desire, the summit of Pike's Peak.

The train slowly wends its way from Manitou through the narrow and picturesque canon of Cascade with its forest-covered sides and foaming cataracts to the town of Cascade (another of Colorado numerous summer resorts) with its pretty villas and magnificent hotel. We leave the railroad here, as this is the point where the stage begins its journey to the Peak. At precisely o'clocK tne driver with a resounding crack of his whip and a merry whoa, brings his spirited four-in-hand to a sudden stop at the hotel steps. We all scrambled in, some fifty of us, divided into five of the most comfortable stages it has ever been my lot to enter, and the highest, most pic turesque and delightful carriage ride in the world has begun, and with its experienced drivers and unsurpassed scenery it is a treat indeed. The first point of interest is a pretty, white painted villa where the stage company has a toll keeper collecting toll from the numerous tourists and prospectors that daily go over its road.

We stopped here to obtain a view of Colorado Springs, seen through a gap in the mountains, and also gathered huge bunches of wild flowers that grow so profusely around this charming house. After leaving here we continue upward, ever upward, and pass the Balanced Rock, a huge, upright granite boulder that towers away above the road, and seems as if a breath would cause it to precipitate itself into the depths below, but it is so nicely balanced that it has IS What everV One iS Pictures or Medallions wltnstood tne tempests and storms of ages.

Far in the east v. i twas a storm cloud with the w.iSut,b Vi iiguUu. inft oiiuuui th( ges trimmed in silver as the sun cast its rays through its outer edges, it was a fitting back ground to the picture before our admiring eyes standinn- on a narr-nf tV.o mountain separate, as 11 were, irom tne surrounding one, and looking down, see the sur- feet we could iroundinr cities straight below. On ooth sides were the sides of the mountains almost straight up for 4000 feet. This is the spot famed amongst the In dian legends as "Lovers Leap.

The legend is that a white man, years ago, came to this country from the east. He was young and handsome and during one of his prospecting tours was captured by a Ute band of Indians. He made a stubborn fight and killed two of his foes for which he was condemned to be burnt at the stake. During the interval that intervened before all the band got together after their fall hunting he was kept a close prisoner. In the meanwhile the Chief's only daughter fell in love with the fair captive and he reciprocated the affection, and while the guard was asleep one night she cut his bonds and fled with him on horse back.

Her father became cognizant of the affair and gave chase and was rapidly overtaking the fugitives when they, rather than be taken back spurred his horse toward the leap and with a snort of terror it plunged over to a death 10,000 feet below. The legend goes on to say that on the anniversary every year, near midnight, there is seen, dashing around the bend, a black horse with a white man and an Indian girl on his back, and he plunges over the brink and his cry is heard echoing and re-echoing down the valley. Leaving this picturesque spot we hasten upward as the stage time is limited and in due time reached the summit and took two hours in viewing the country stretched far below us. You can see so far that the Irishman was under the impression that he Baw Ireland, but I am sure I could see dear old Missouri. There is a large store house on the summit where they put up a first-class lunch.

The W. S. G. also has a signal station here. We were duly carving our names on the highest rocks when the driver tooted his horn to go down and it was a mandate that we had to obey.

Thus closed my never to be forgotten trip to Pikes Peak. Yours sincerely, Theo. Fuller. Low Bates Via. Burlington Route.

H. W. 0WE5. Sudden Death of An Old and Widely Known Citizen of Bloominifton- Dr. H.

W. Owen, our most prominent citizen, died suddenly, at his home, about 10:30 o'clock, Monday night. Several neighbors, among them your correspondent, were aroused from their beds, about 11 o'clock, by cries for help from members of the bereaved family. When the writer arrived at the house, he found the doctor sitting in his arm-chair on the south porch, his feet supported by a stool, his eyes closed, his body still warm, but motionless. All efforts to restore animation were unavailing.

He was dead. About 10 o'clock he had arisen from his bed, complaining of great difficulty in breathing, aroused the family, called for the ether, a small dose of which was given him, and taken his seat where the writer found him. Dr. Rowland, of Bevier, was called in, a telegram was sent to Dr. W.

W. Owen, of Oak Dale, and other relatives summoned. Dr. Rowland, after careful examination and inquiry, believes that death resulted from heart failure. Deceased was a vigorous old man and up to the hour of his death, was as jovial and active as a boy.

Hosea Wilson Owen was born in Springfield, 111., in 1830, and was therefore 66 years old when he died. At the age of 20 he was married to Mary Parker, of Charleston, 111., and shortly after emigrated to Missouri, where he was engaged in the construction of railroads. He had been educated as a physician, and practiced medicine and surgery in the army and so, after varied successes, he abandoned railroad building and settled down to his professional labors, in Greentop, about 1S70, and has followed that exclusively ever since. He moved to Bloomington in 1876. I have known Dr.

Owen for thirty-five years. He was a brave, good, generous, sociable man, and a physician of marked ability. His success in chronic cases was phenomenal. His practice was largely among the poor, and he was indeed the poor man's friend. Great sympathy is felt in the commu nity for those of his family household wno are lett to mourn an irreparable loss.

He leaves a wife, one son, ten grandchildren and one great-grandchild. His death is regarded by all as a public calamity. The sick will miss the skillful nurse; the poor, the ever ready helping hand: the church and the public, the open purse. Farewell, my friend.ever faithful for many years; when I took your hand on Monday night, for the first time it gave me no answering clasp. Friend of my boyhood, neighbor, and family physician, farewell.

"It means to live the Golden Rule, 'Do unto others as you would have others do to you.

It will give courage niu 4, strength to the weak, the blind and new life to the spiritually dead. "It will give workers something to do, and authority to do it in the name of Jesus. It means keep your house in order, for you will have callers in the interest of your soul's salvation. It will give you an invitation and an opportunity to attend the church or Sabbath school of your choice. It will include every person in the Sabbath school; the aged, the infirm, the invalids domestic servants, mothers, Misses, professional men, railway, telegraph and telephone employes, commercial travelers, and, in fact, those of every legitimate calling and occupa tion." The above is a comprehensive summing up of what, in a general way, will be effected through township organization.

The different departments of Sunday school work, such as house visitation, will be the means through which these results will be accomplished. The annual convention of the county association, held at Callao last fall, was an interesting and successful gathering of Sunday school workers. The semiannual convention held at La Plata, May 22 and 23, indicated an increase of interest and enthusiasm in the work. The next annual convention will convene in this city some time in November. Preparations are under way to make this one of the largest and most imposing conventions ever held in North Missouri.

A chorus of one hundred voices led by Prof. E. O. Excell, of Chicago, is on the programme, and will doubtless be the best musical entertainment ever had in the city. Those in charge of the plan of the convention are also in communication with some of the most noted orators and public speakers in the Flour is Lora (lOOS fiG LOW BUT Pillsbury's Best, per sack.
