WANT POLICE PROTECTION
Circus People Want Police Pro
tection When Kongo—the
Big Elephant Is Un
loaded.
The circus people have re
quested the mayor, chief of po
lice and city council to give
them police protection during
the unloading of Kongo—the
huge elephant just imported
from India. He is unloaded
about six o’clock each morning.
He is considered very dangerous
and if proper officials are pres
ent there will be no danger of
anyone being injured. They have
also requested that all traffic
apon all streets to the circus
grounds, over which “Kongo”
,vi 11 have to travel, will be sus
pended during the hours of six
and seven in the morning. In
ihe event the big beast would
meet a team of horses, a cow, a
jog, or some animal not known

much for the ten keepers who
are employed to guard and fight
him. He is heavily chained and
every precaution is taken with
the big beast- “Kongo” has ele
>hant instinct, however, and
will accept peanuts from menag
erie patrons and is seemingly
very happy when in the mena

Dog Has Day In Court.
One single case concerning a
dog has occupied the entire time
of the criminal division of cir
icuit court Friday and part of
Thursday. Sidney Fain is ac
cused of shooting and killing the
dog of John Morris. They are
both citizens of Oil Trough bot
toms. Fain admits that he kill
ed the dog, but claims that he
thought the animal had rabies.
He says his wife told him that
the dog had been acting queerly
and he went to where the dog
was lying down in the road ap
parently having a fit, when he
called the dog started toward
him in a vicious manner, and
that he leveled his gun and shot.
Morris claims that the dog
was following him when he was
shot and that there was nothing
the matter with him. There
have been a great number of
witnesses examined, and the
case it is believed will end by
night. It is said that if there is
a conviction a civil suit will fol
low. It is little known bqt there
is a statute making it a misde
meanor to shoot a dog withoqt
cause in this state.

Snow and Ice At Yellville.
Batesville, Oct. 27.— Tele
phone messages from Yellville
and Joplin received in Batesville
Monday morning stated that
there was three inches of snow
at both these places, with plenty
of ice and snow still falling.
It snowed a little in Bates
ville Monday morning, but not
enough to cover the ground, and
it has gotten too cold now to
snow a great deal. It is the
first touch of winter in all this
section of country, and seems to
be general.
A message from Little Rock
this morning states that it was
not so cold there early in the
day, but had gradually gotten
colder since dawn.

Did You Ever Wash Clothes
in the old fashioned way with
wooden washtubs?
Perhaps that is still your method
and you look forward to each wash
day with delight. Well, hardly.
A set of "Standard" laundry
trays would mean an orderly laun
dry, one of more inviting appear
ance and easier laundering and your
satisfaction would not be lessened
by the high class' workmanship
which characterizes the work we do.
