The action of the city council in authorizing one C. Wheeler to begin numbering the in Galena without giving any instructions as to how they should be numbered is an act of folly, and no one wil find it out sooner than that honorable body.

A rumor has it that a new strike of lead has been made near Joplin, ana excitement is at fever heat. New strikes of lead and jack are a daily occurence in Galena and people think nothing of it. Rev. J. W.

Pepper and ife, of this city, Mesdames Rohrer and Welch and Misses Mae Smith and Nellie Broadley, of Jop lin and Dr. B- Savage and W. ef Galena, formed a party who took in the St. Louis festivities last week, leaving Joplin on the Pacific.

Local scribe Carleton, of the Joplin Herald gives Galena a very light pat ronage for the new telephone service when he says Joplin has 200 subscribers and Galena eight. He not only left off the "ty" tee after his eight, but counted the number of both telephone lines in Joplin. True Galena has only about eighty subscribers, at present, but when people see that good service will be giv en, and an all night and Sunday service established the patronage will as far ex ceed that of Joplin as the mines do at present.

A new scheme is said to have gone into effect on the Memphis system and certain employes are subject to demerit or "black" marks instead of a temporary lav off" as heretofore. The new rule applies to engine men, trainmen ana switchmen. For acts of negligeace or disobedience to the rules, for drinking intoxication, and dishonesty, demerit marks will be kept and the employe Hirainst whom thev are made will be notified of each mark against him. Six ty marks will warrant the dismissal of any employe. Twelve consecutive months of service without a demerit mark will merit a deduction of 20 marks if that number be against the employe doing- the vear's service without, a de effect February Kept on Hand Constantly.

5 cents. All dealers. Some of the Galenaites who went to Joplin to see the "Dazzler" last Sunday got completely dazzjed after the show was over, from the fact that the last chance saloons opened up rather early. -vindications were to the effect that a dwelling house was liable to be empty in a short time in this city as a family intended moving into a new residence, and there were thirty applicants for the house in a little over six hours. P.

L. tiSwartz, one of Joplin's old reliable grocerymen, was in Galena this week looking for a location to open up a general merchandise store, but failed to find an opening. It may be that he will move a building over from Joplin or build one It was a Joplin girl on the street Tuesday evening who had dress goods in her sleeves that should have been used to lengthen her dress skirt.

office for a retraction when the editor was not in but the devil was. Never was a better telephone line put up than one opened Monday be tween this eity and Joplin, which is known as the new line. In talkie from this office with parties in tjae Her ald and Newsjcfftces in Joplin, the con- sections so exact that evea whisper could he heard distinctly. If this kind of- service continues, the American telephone will prove a win ner in every sense of the word. It is not right to cast any reflections aud the big lamp that sat on the center table at a residence in Galena last Sunday night should be smashed into smithereens, -Of course the young man was not to blame.

He did not buy ie lamp slot oil to go in it, or even yellow window blinds. He did not eveiii buy big rocker that sat between the center jtable and the win dow. and it was not Ins fault it it was big enough to hold the weight of two. and was naughty in the lamp to cast such '-'coodling" reflections on the win dow blind. The young lady of the house is also to blame for placing the chair, lamp or herself on a line with the window and thus causing the young man to be talked about.

See Kansas joints are a nuisance to say the least, but can be put up with when properly managed or are under strict police surveilance, but when opened up in the outskirts or in the thickly settled mining district, with no official protect ion at all, it is one of the grandest nuisances in the world. Only a few days ago a joint was opened at Rice villa, but the mine operators and many of the best class of miners made a stren uous kick, and the hellhole was put on wheels and carted to an adjoining tract and again opened up much to the cha grin and discomforture of those interest ed in that vicinity. If joints ar to run in Kansas let them be kept out the mines, and where the day laborer who is addicted to drink can not get them too readily, as mining is a dang erous business at best, and accidents occur too frequently and if they do oc cur let it not be from alcoholic stiinu I i 1 i :1 -1 i CraiidaU, the veteran livery man, of Carthage, was in Galena Tues day looking over the mines. Bishop Vincent, of New York, one of the leading lights in the Chautauqua-ites delivered a lecture in Carthage Tuesday night, and several w-ent from Galena to hear him and were well pleas ed. Charlie the efficient city clerk and the enterprising young insurance agent, who has been ill the past few days, is again able to be at his of fice, much to the gratification of his numerous friends.

Rev. G. W. Henry, of Barry county, was sent to jail on the charge of stealing a side Jaaeoa, A poor half starved preacher who will resort to such methods of keeping himself and family alive should be hung at once. He should go the whole hog or none.

Had he liped in Jasper asunty and stole a ham he would have gone to the pen for three years, hut had he killed a poor innocent woman in that county, he would only have got years. Being well fed in the pen is far superior to starving at home where you can see your family suffer with you. The state line fraud, fake" fight, as the case may be, which was to take place last Sunday afternoon between Fitzgerald and Stout, did not come off from the fact that a deputy sheriff of of this countv erot wind of the aflair and was in readiness to arrest and take the intruders in custody. The two pu gilists who wer anxious to beef the 2 for a cent sports" oat sof a apiece to see a fake fight afterward tried to get their little mill off at Joplin at a late hour Sunday night, in order to make bread and meat money for both, but Marshal MeManamy was onto their game and the fight did not take place. It is a little surprising to many who have tried the working of the new Jop lin telephone line that there is so much difference in it and the Galena line, when the same kind of phones are used in both places.

The American Etee- tric telephone is the in use, and can not be heaten if the wires are properly strung and connections properly made, and the difference in the two lines is probabl due to the fact that experts put up the Joplin line, while the parties who put up the Galena line evidently gained their knowledge by stringing barbed wire. At least the line is not giving the satisfaction expected of it. It takas frcan three to seven nags to get cejatatl and often times you do not get them and when connection is made with the party desired, the line is also connected with some three or four other parties and all are talking at once. It is hoped the line Will soon be put good shape and a night service given, at least until ten o'clock, and It is be lipvpd Manager Robeson will do his best to give the patrons good Mr, Henpecked, who lives in the south part of the eity came up town last Monday morning with his blue eyes changed to a black, blue-black or black and blue, it was hard to tell which. Supposing he had attended a state lime "mill" the reporter began quizzing Mr.

who was very free in telling of the tprrihle scran he had and wanted his opponent roasted to a finish for beatim the life almost out of him, and for noth ing, as he saya. He tells a pitiful story and in fact has a mania for Running off at the mouth, in his own behalf. He worked hard all last week, as he always does, drew his car Saturday night, as he always does, got drank and Mowed his money, as he always does, went home late at night to his wife and two half clothed and half starved children hefnra takinsr off his drunk, as he al ways does, and his wife lit on him like a hungry mosquito on a Joplin belle, as she always should.
