Bennett. Election of Officers. American legislatures and governing bodies are permanently committed to the maintainance of free schools but the idea that text books should also be free has not taken deep hold on the minds of men who deal officialy with the public school system; yet free books are as essential to many children as free tuition. Contractors who undertake work on the new capitol at Jefferson City will have to furnish honest materials and do honest work, whether of not they may be disposed, bscause the four mem-bers of the board of building commissioners have an idea that it is their chief business to see that every dollar paid out of the building fund is honestly earned. This old fashioned idea, in the heads of such men as Messrs.

Stephens, Spear, Lacofi and Hiller, is a guarantee to the people of Missouri that there will be no "graft" in con nection with the erection of a new state house. I TO TAXPAYERS. J. W.

Suits will be sorted against delinquent land taxes for 1912 after January 1, 1914. J. W. REESE, County Collector. A Killing at Hollister.

Wednesday evening just about sundown, a shooting affray took place at Hollister, in this county, in which Ham White was killed and his son, Alvin White, a young man about 20 years of age, was wounded by Claude Linzy, after a short quarrel. It is said that the parties had had some trouble previous to this, but as it is a hard matter to get any of the particulars at this time, we cannot tell much about the causes that led up to the shooting. White, who about fifty years old, has lived in this county practically all his life, until about a year ago near Fine-top, in the south part of the county, when he moved onto a farm between Hollister and Kirbyville. White had a family of a wife and four children, but he and his wife have been separated for some time, the two boys remaining here with their father, and the two girls living with their mother at Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The sheriff was called from here last evening and he and the prosecut ing sttorney left at once for the scene of the shooting.

An inquest will be held today. The elder White was killed instantly and the younger man was wounded seriously, but is reported to be in a fairly comfortable condition this morning with the chances for his recovery good. Linzy, who is about thirty years old and unmarried, went to Branson immediately after the shooting and surrendered to the officers there. It is probable that a preliminary hearing will be held as aoon as the coroner's jury renders their verdict.

Porter, who from all the evidence obtainable from a search of his personal effects, hailed from Water man, Texas, died very suddenly along the road just below Kissee Mills, Tuesday afternoon, and was buried at the Brown cemetery Wednesday. Mr. Porter came to this section of the country recently from Rogersville, and there from central Kansas, in and about McPherson. Not much is known of the man, except what he had told a few casual acquaintances during his stay in this neighborhood. He called at the office of Dr.

Humphreys Tuesday morning and had the doctor prescribe for him, telling him that his stomach had been bothering him for some lime. Dr. Humphreys told the Republican that he was satisfied the man died from a ruptured anuerism of the aorta, and that it was this that had been bothering him instead of his stomach. An in quest was held by Justice of the Peace Arter Kissee Tuesday evening. No autopsy was considered necessary.

There was quite a large party of peo ple from the southeast part of the county camped near town for the past few days, making side trips from here to the dam and other points of interest in this vicinity. They all seemed to be having a mighty fine time. A young man named Charles Ellis, who has been working in town fur few weeks, left rather unceremoniously Tuesday night without paying several bills that he had contracted at different places, including a board bill at the Hotel Everett. The officers are alter him and he will probably be brought back in a few days. J.
