teous to strangers that come amrmglus,
so that they will go away with a good
impression.
Always cheer up the men that {go in
for improvement. Your portion "of the
cost will be only what is just.
Don't kick about any necessary public
improvement because it is not at your
door, or fear that vour taxes 'might lie
raised fifteen cents.
And above all, keep vdur eye on vour
Jiewspaper; go around and ask its editor
■ f he is prospering; give himjyour patron-
age and lend nini all the encouragement
at your command. That simulates him
to work the harder. >

Geo. E. McKinnis, Postmaster;
c. B. Wharton, carrier 011 route No. j,
city delivery, fell dead in the yard at
the residence of Mrs. Alice Hopewell,
518 N. Market street, where he had a
room for several years. Mr. Wharton
had not been in very good health for
some time but anticipated no serious
disease hence to those around him, his
sudden death was a very great shock.
He was a mounted mail ■ carrier, and
after .finishing work Wednesday, drove
to his honle; putting . his horse : in the
stable yard. A few momepts. latef. the
aninial escaped and wandered into.the'
garden, where it was noticed by a neigh-
bor, who sept word to Mr. Wharton and
he started out to put it in the stable
again. He evidently walked to the
stable gate and fell dead there >s his
body was noticed lying near the gate a
moment after he went into the yard, by-
Will Cassidy, son of Attorney P. O. Cas-
sidy, who lives next door north of Mrs.
Hopewell. Will called to his mother that
Mr. Wharton was lying in the]|yard and
then ran over tj the body.;From all
appearances, Wharton was dying and
when P. O. Cassidy and Rev. Snell ar-
rived a second later, life was about ex-
tinct. With the assistance of neighbors,
they carried the body into the house and
summoned Dr. J. C. Malir who found
that death had occurred. Dr. Mahr had
warned Mr. Wharton Sunday that he had
heart disease ai^d was in bad condition,
I uesday night Mr. Wharton was initiated
int<^lie M. W. A. as a social member but
his medical examination had not been
passed on, hence he has not insurance in
that order. 1
He was nearly 45 years of age and had
resided here for several years. Four
children survive him, three of whom are
in Sedalia, Mo., and the other a grown
son in K.ansas. His father also resides
in Missouri, and it is possible that the
body will be taken there for burial.
CLEARED FOR ACTION.
When the body is cleared for action "by
Dr. King's New Life Pills, you can tell
it by the bloom of health on the cheeks;
the brightness of the eyes; the firmness
of the flesh and muscles; the buoyancy
of the mind. Try them. AtJ.M. Rem-
