OUR LATEST The Summer Normal The Summer Normal School which is to be held at Lincoln Institute will open June 16th, and continue seven weeks. President Clarke, of Lincoln Institute, has sent out a number of catalogues containing full information regarding the same. The following letter has been issued by State Superintendent Carrington: State of Missouri, Department of Education, City of Jefferson, April 12, 1902. Pres. E. A. Clark, Lincoln Institute: Dear Sir:—I hope that you and your faculty can arrange to conduct a summer school at Lincoln Institute. These schools for teachers have become a permanent feature of our state educational work. It is the desire of the present state administration that the equipment in all our state institutions be utilized for the benefit of the teacher. The University and Normals have had summer schools for some years and it is now time for Lincoln Institute to offer like opportunity to its patrons and colored teachers. There is no appropriation to pay salaries of instructors this year, but it is hoped the state may offer free tuition for the summer term next year. Should you arrange for it, all colored teachers who possibly can do so, should take advantage of this opportunity and thus show that there is a demand for it as a permanent feature of the institution. All grades that come within the limitation of the conditions of approval as set forth on pages 41 and 42 of the official course of study for institutes will be accepted by county boards of education and the State Superintendent in lieu of examinations. Yours very respectfully, W. T. Carrington. Western University Friday, May 16, at 8 p. m., closing programme of the James A. Handy Literary Society.

AMONG THE COLLEGES George W. Crawford of Tall Edge, Ala., is said to be the first negro to win a prize at Yale. At the annual speaking for the Francis Wayland prizes he won third place and was awarded $20. He took the affirmative on a debate for a national divorce law. Crawford prepared for Yale at Tungaloo college, Alabama. He is a mulatto, his mother being a negress and his father a white. The oldest public school in America is the Boston Latin school, which was established two and two-third centuries ago, the anniversary of its establishment being celebrated on April 23. The school was founded on Shakespeare's birthday. The city presented a new flag to the school, which was displayed for the first time.

These figures Rev. Dr. Gustav Gotthell, rabbi emeritus of the Temple Emanu-El of New York will, on May 28, celebrate his 75th birthday, and it will be commemorated by a gift of $15,000 to Columbia University, to establish a fellowship in his name. His son, Prof. R. J. H. Gotthell, is head of the department of Semitic languages at Columbia. The fund is being raised among the members of the rabbi's congregation. The official report of attendance at Northwestern university shows a total of 2414 students in the college and professional schools, as compared with 2246 last year, and a total besides of 969 in the school of oratory and preparatory schools, as compared with 650 last year. The university ranks eighth in total attendance among American universities, excluding the enrollment in the summer schools. At a mass meeting held at Cornell last week in honor of Lord Kelvin, President Schurman announced that the $250,000 for the new hall of physics would be forthcoming. This sum was promised by John D. Rockefeller, the condition being that the university should raise a like amount. Cornell will have the full $500,000 on commencement day. John D. Rockefeller offered to give $125,-000 to Adelphi college, in Brooklyn, making the condition that the same amount should be raised by the college. In two weeks from the time he made his proposal all of the money was raised but $20,-000. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit company made up the amount itself, so that in less than three weeks Adelphi obtained $250,000 to be used as an endowment fund. The successful struggle against adverse conditions always awakens interest. The life of Booker Washington is necessarily of interest to all Americans as he is endeavoring to solve race problems that concern every one in America as the conditions exist here. For that reason his book "Up from Slavery" has been read by every thinking American. It is, however, more than a study of social economy, it is the record of a human soul and on that side it appeals to all humanity. This is proven by the fact that the book has been translated into French, German, Flemish and Spanish. An Army of Women Clerks. Over 8000 women are employed in the different offices of the national government in Washington. Of the number, 900 are paid salaries ranging from $1000 to $1800 a year; the other 7000 draw from Courier's Manhattan PATENTED FO. #1194 The Only Genuine in Town. Sold by GLOBE CLOTHING Co. $660 to $900 a year, the compensation of ordinary clerks in the departments. These figures do not include the women employed in the bureau of engraving and printing and the census office. During the past 17 years 2,044 women have entered the Government service by competitive examinations. Don't Worry. The woman who would fill all hollows and round all angles with healthy adipose tissue must resolutely refuse to harbor worry. Even if there are things to worry about, everybody knows that fretting does not remedy or soften them, and it emphatically does cause wrinkles and loss of flesh. It may seem difficult to avoid it, but a determination to do so, steadily kept in mind, will conquer in the end. Local and Personal. Miss Virgie Muse is on the sick list.

The time will come when the examiner of a candidate will ask first into the personal and private character of the teacher. High ideals are not secondary to noble character. It is not the learning that she has, nor the training that she has, that makes the true teacher. It is her personality. Many of the best teachers today never received a normal school certificate that they had been thoroughly grounded in the newest and most approved methods. Their success lies in the power of their own high character, and their endeavor to promote through love and sympathy the best possibilities of the children under their charge. Professional training is not to be disparaged. It is a great power in itself, but it is not the greatest nor the highest.—Alice Freeman Palmer. Ignorant, but Sensitive. W. H. Merten, one of the members of the Guthrie school board, was called upon by one of the janitors of the school, and informed that he had thrown up his job. Mr. Merten asked what was the trouble, and he answered: "I'm honest and I won't stand being slurred. If I find a pencil or a handkerchief about the school when I'm sweeping, I hang it up. Every little while the teachers or some one that is too cowardly to face me gives me a slur." "In what way?" asked Mr. Merten. "Why, a little while ago I saw written on the board, 'Find the common multiple.' Well, I looked from the cellar to the garret and I wouldn't know the thing if I met it on the street. "What made me quit my job? Last night in big writin' on the blackboard it said, 'Find the greatest common divisor.' Well, I says to myself, both of them darned things are lost now, and I'll get blamed for swipin' 'em, so I'll quit." -Selected For Sale.

Queen Alexandra to Don the Famous Gem at the Coming Osronation. London, May 13.—Owing to the de- sire of the king and queen that no seats shall be placed eastward of the Sacra- rium in Westminster Abbey, as on for- ‘mer coronations, the timber-built an- nex, which as the coronation of Queen Victoria was added outside the west door of the abbey is now being con- structed in much greater proportions. It will accommodate several hundreds us well as provide robing rooms and other apartments for the king and queen, It is a Gothic edifice built of timber with elaborate timber arches and roofs and will be covered with a stucco preparation, giving it the ap- pearance of solid masonry. It will be ranked for the time being as part of the abbey itself and will be carpeted with the same blue mohair pile as the rest of the abbey. The king and queen will enter and leave the abbey through a large door that is being prepared on its north side, The chapel of St. Edward the Confessor, to which the king and queen will pass after the service, has no altar, One is now being erected at which the king will deliver his scep- ter, with the dove to the archbishop of Canterbury, and his golden spears and stewards’ staff to the dean of West- minster, to be laid on the altar. There was a long discussion early in the year as to what place the famous Kohinoor fliamond would take among the crown jewels at the coronation. Some peo- ple said that it would be in the king's and other that it would be in. the queen's crown, It is now known that it will be in that of the queen. ‘There are some interesting supersti- tions connected with this stone in In- fia, from which place it came into the possession of ween Victoria. Every native of that country firmly believes that the holder of the stone will be the ruler of India, but with it goes the dread penalty that it brings violent death to its male owner, Story after story, going back for centuries, 1s told to bear out the truth of this superstl. tion and it would be impossible to con. vinee the Indian mind, at any rate that King Edward hopes to avoid this fate by making the Jewel the property of the queen, Whose sex safeguards het ‘as it did Queen Victoria. MAXIM AND THE WORLD'S FAIR The Distinguished Inventor Will Take a Hand in the Air- Ship Contest. St Louis, Mo., May 13.—President Francis has received an interesting let- ter from Sir Hiram Maxim, the eminent inventor and scientist of Great Britain. He says in regard to the question of postponement: “It would certainly be advantageous to have your exposition postponed until 1904, that is, ff you wish fo get anything from England.” Sir Hiram presents various reasons why Great Britain could do a great deal more in 1904 than can be done in 1908. He proceeds: “In regard to the question of aeron- autics, which seem to be one of the most attractive features, I do not think there is the least chance that any real flying machine, or anything which would excite any considerable amount of interest, will be ready for the sum- mer of 1903, “As far as balloons are concerned, ‘Mr. Santos-Dumont has gone about as far as any one can go in this direction, but as I understand it St. Louis Is rather a windy town, There are only ‘a few days in the year when one can expect a dead clam there, and I do not think there would be many demonstra- tions with balloons in consequence. In case balloons are shown in actual flight they will, in all probability, float, off with the wind exactly like all other bal- loons, and have to be taken apart and hought back to the stating point by rail, a proceeding which could not be repeated very often, and which would certainly not be very interesting. to spectators. “The offer of $100,000 as a prize to be given by the St. Louis exhibition has doubtless done a great deal to turn the attention of experimenters in the direc- tion of aerial navignation, but these experimenters will not be able to make, tost and exhibit thelr machines within the time originally fixed. I have hho doubt, however, but that by 1904 some- thing’ will have been developed whieh would be suffictently successful to at- tract a great deal of attention and cause a great number of people to vis- it the exposition who otherwise would uot attend. I feel certain that the post- ponment of the exhibition would be very advantageous, Indeed, I do not believe there is sufficient time to have the thing organized and in working or- der within the time limit originally specified, especially as far as all foreign countries are concerned, If the exhibi- tion is put off, I certainly will take ¢ hand in the competition myself.” WwooD WILL GO ABROAD.

DOINGS OF THE KAISER. Emperor William Central Figure at a Long Sitting With Beer Berlin, May 13.—Emperor William passed a busy Sunday at Wiesbaden, After breakfast he disposed of consid- erable state business, including the tel- egram to President Loubet of France, expressing his sympathy in the Mar- Unique disaster.

Copenhagen, May 13—The _confer- ence committee of parliament appoint- ed by the two houses on the Danish West Indies treaty, held two executive sessions today. The opponents of the sale seem inclined to yield to the de- mand of the ministry for a plebiscite, relinquishing their “former proposal limiting the vote to those qualified to vote for members of the colonial coun- cil, that scheme having aroused pop- ular disapproval. The members of the opposition, however, insist on with- holding the final judgment on _ the treaty until after the plebiscite, which they contend is necessary to show the real temper of the islands. ‘They are willing to bind themselves to agree to ratification on specified conditions be- fore the elections. The ministry will not agree to such a course, preferring to let the matter rest until after the September elections, when the lands- thing is likely to give the ministry a majority enabling it to secure ratitica- tion unconditionally. Knowledge of this will now in all probability con- duce to a satisfactory compromise with the opposition, miakktciaa Mana waked Washington, D. C.

Funston had distinguished himself and before Aguinaldo had taken the oath a thoughtful student of human nature would, among the many strolling couples on the old wall at Manila, have noticed particularly the two subalterns, evidently on furlough. That one was bored and the other bothered the student would have readily understood, for while the fair man smoked with a sullen indifference his companion puffed on impatiently for a few moments, only to forget his cigar entirely while he again pondered over that troublesome passage in his sweetheart's letter: "If you can get him to do something desperate and daring for her sake and then write home about it you will win my eternal gratitude, as you have already won my love. For now that these rumors of oil being struck on this barren land have begun to circulate around here, I honestly believe she is just crank enough to throw him over as soon as he comes home. Her idea is that he ought to be free to do better—as though he could! You know what a combination of fire and tow he is. In fact, dear boy, unless you and I can do something quick there will be two lives turned down." "Deuce take it!" he groaned inwardly. "What desperate thing for a woman's sake can a man do in this sleepy place?" His companion stopped listlessly, and Ford turned to look at him. "What's up Crammer?" "Wo "We are going east in three weeks." "Yes; I know." "Poorer than we came out." "Serving your country isn't a big-paying business." "Dash the country! I came out here in hopes of finding an opening. The Philippines offer such splendid opportunities—to a man with money. My word for it. Ford, I've a good mind to desert and turn gold prospector." "A fellow was talking to me about gold the other day," Ford replied, absently. "Who was it?" Cranmere asked, quickly. "A fellow with a history." Ford returned, slowly. "A hundred and some old years ago, before Vargo made to tobacco a government monopoly, this man's grandfather was one of the rich men of Luzon. It seems he lived in one of the districts that had to go on growing tobacco whether it paid or not. It didn't pay. The family got poorer and poorer until when Mantal inherited the fragment of the fortune he moved north to Botanes in despair—went to raising horses. That didn't pay, either; then he tried pearl fishing. Now he has come back to Luzon with an alluring gold story." "That's what I want to hear about. I believe there is gold in Luzon." "I don't. Not in paying quantities. If there had been, Spain would have found it out a hundred years ago." "What is this man's yarn?" Cranmere persisted. "You see that?" Ford asked pointing to a haze of smoke to the southward of the men. "Yes: some volcano." "It is the volcano Taal, only 850 feet high, and it stands on an island in the Lake Bombon. It is about this lake that my friend Mantal spins his yarn. The lake he claims was once the site of an immense volcano that was blown out bodily in an eruption." "I've heard that story often," Cranmere commented, impatiently. "So beware." "So have I. And that its waters used to be salt?" "Yes. Where does the gold come in?" "This is Mantala's idea: Bombon has an outlet; therefore it must have subterranean sources, and he holds that it is fed by an underground river that flows from the heart of the island. He believes that he could enter this river by diving, and by its means go straight to the mountains, where he will find gold. The whole foundation for his theory is a blind fish found in Bombon." "A blind fish! That means a good deal. Does he expect to try his experiments alone?" "No; he is looking for some American fool enough to go with him. He is afraid to trust the natives." "I'm his man!" "I believe there is something in it." "Death, most likely." "You will send that fellow Mantal to me tonight?" "See here, Cranmere, this is the craziest scheme ever started. That lake is a hundred fathoms deep and covers a hundred square miles." The Washington Times says that a certain representative from rural Wisconsin, desiring a drink of water before going to bed the other night, found that the bellboy had neglected to leave the customary pitcher in his room. A little search, however, revealed two small buttons on the wall, under one of which was inscribed: "Push twice for water." He pushed as directed, and when the bellboy arrived with the water the congressman was found holding a pitcher under the button. According to Consul-General Barlow, Mexico is a bad place for a young inexperienced man without ample funds in any line he chooses to follow. "He was a pearl fisher," Cramerne continued, without noticing his friend's interruption. "and I dare say still has his diving rig. We would need a boat, but that can be managed. It is no use kicking. Ford. I'm going to give this t thing a trial. I tell you, man, rather than ask that little girl to wait another six months for me I'd go to the infernal regions if there was a chance of making enough by the trip to get married on." Ford's jaws snapped upon a vigorous protest. He could write to Lucy tonight. A beastly two weeks, but when he came back everybody would be talking oil. "There is Mantal now. I'll send him to you," he muttered. "Good luck, old man." They shook hands warmly, and the next day it was reported that Corporal Cramerne had gone to a neighboring village to spend his furlough. Ford, writing to his sweetheart certain passages to be read aloud, drew a vivid description of the desperate undertaking. "He told me once," he concluded, "that for the sake of getting enough together to be married on he would cheerfully make a trip to hades. Well, he has struck something worse than hades this trip. Whoever his girl is, she must be almost as lovable as somebody else—he's awfully gone on her. Foor fellow, I hope he will come back alive, now that his land promises so well. "And I hope," he muttered, as he posted the letter, "that she will be so scared and miserable for the next six weeks she'll learn some sense. I've no patience with a girl that can't be satisfied when a man has told her that he loves her. Histrionics be hanged. I'm glad Lucy doesn't go in for that sort of thing, dear, sensible little soul that she is!" This was how it happened that when Corporal Cranemer, none the worse for his wild goose chase to Lake Bombon and the long homeward voyage that had followed close upon it, dashed into the private parlor of a San Francisco hotel and found a worn-looking girl with big eyes and white cheeks, who had no high-flow proffers of freedom to make. Only an eager whisper that she was glad, so glad he had not been killed in that horrid volcano. "Never mind, sweetheart," he said, soooothingly, "the Philippines are not so bad. But Texas is the place for us, isn't it?" "Wherever you are, dear boy," she answered, contentedly. THOUGHT HIS LAST DAY NEAR. Laundry Manager Who Worked Christian Science Backwards. A well known young Davenporter, who is manager of the local laundry for one of the large railroads passing through the city, is a living example of the psychological conclusion that the mind has a direct and powerful control over the body and its ailments. This young man wears one false tooth, which is spiked down into his jaw with a silver spike not quite as large as a tenpenny nail, but a great deal sharper. The other morning he arose from his slumbers and discovered that the tooth had disappeared. He immediately began a search of the bed and with the horror of the situation growing greater every second he frantically tore every sheet, quilt and comforter from the bed and threw them into the raping up the mattress. But the tooth could not be found. He knew it had been in his mouth when he went to bed and the natural conclusion was that he had swallowed it. The young man wasn't hungry for breakfast and he hurried off to his work with a pale face. Shortly after he left his roommate entered the room and found the tooth lying upon the floor. He picked it up carefully and placed it upon the dresser. During the middle of the forenoon he visited the laundry to see the tooth owner. The laundryman was as pale as the linen he was preparing to send out to a dining car. When he saw his roommate he almost collapsed. "I'm all in. pal," he gasped; "it'll soon be over now." "Whats the matter man?" the room-mate asked. "I'm done for. I've swallowed my false tooth with the spike attached." "Good heavens!" exclaimed his sympathizing friend. "What have you been doing for yourself?" "Well, I've taken a five cent package of epsom salts since morning, but it doesn't seem to do any good. I can feel the spike beginning to cut me right here," and he placed his hand near the equator of his anatomy. "The pain is getting worse every minute and it will be awful when that spike begins to cut it's way out." The roommate could stand his friend's misery no longer, so he said: "Go home and get your tooth off the dresser. I picked it up from the floor after you left." The laundryman didn't say a word for a time. But he straightened up and gasped the color back into his face. Then he remarked: "Have a cigar."—Davenport (Ia.) Republican. Fortune Founded on Sand There is a solid citizen of New York whose fortune was founded on sand. It amounts to a few millions. James Everard dug the earth out of the hole in which sits that architectural monstrosity known as the general post-office. The earth proved to be fine building sand, a very scarce article in New York. "Jim" not only received big pay for removing it, but sold it for fancy prices, thereby laying the foundation of his ample competency. Prior to this windfall he had been a patrolman on the police force. In ten years he would have been captain, and it is not unlikely that, with a captain's graft, he would now own numerous blocks of real estate—New York Press. In his report to the April meeting of the board of directors of the Louisiana exposition, President Francis said the United States government wanted 10 acres on which to show the world's fair visitors a plat of every kind of growing grass and forage plant suitable to our country. He reported also that the Mexican government asked for a tract large enough to show the varieties of Mexican flora in cultivation, with room for archaeological displays and a national pavilion besides. General Jacob Smith, on trial at Manila, is known among correspondents as "Hell Roaring Jake." He is living up to his nickname. WILHELM AND THEODORE. Numerous and Varied Accomplishments of Kaiser and President. New York Evening Sun: The decision went to the kaiser at the end of a discussion on "who is the best 'all-around' man in the world?" at a London bachelor girls' tea recently. Which led some one to sum up the most striking accomplishments of the ruler of united Germany, as follows: He can talk fluently in six languages. He has written a play and conducted its rehearsal. No man lives a busier life than he, but on the discovery of the Roentgen ray he telegraphed for Prof. Roengen and talked with him for hours. He has written a public prayer and conducted a choir. He can cook his own dinner, can play chess, paint pictures, and draw caricatures. He has learned engineering and studied electricity. Though he can use only one arm he can shoot game for four hours at the rate of two a minute. He has over a hundred titles and is an admiral in three of the largest navies. In 25 years he has shot 23,000 head of game. He changes his dress a dozen times a day, has a dozen valets, and his wardrobe has $25,000 and all this in addition to being boss of the fact which nobody has any doubt about since he dropped the pilot, Bismarck, so unceremoniously. It is probable that in variety of occupations and interests President Roosevelt would rank as second to the kaiser. As far as his public life is concerned he has had a more varied experience than his "great and good friend" of Berlin. He has been a New York assemblyman, a candidate for mayor, a United States civil service commissioner, a New York police commissioner, assistant secretary of the navy, a colonel of volunteer cavalry, governor of the state of New York, vice president, and is now head of the nation. If this is not a case of being all-around what is it? But, in addition to all this, Mr. Roosevelt can run a ranch, can shoot big game, can bag his own dinner and cook it, can put up his hirsets with a professional, knows something about wrestling, can't be tired out in the saddle, and is keen on all sorts of exercise. He may not write operas or poetry, but, young as he is and busy as he has been, the books that he has produced fill a goodly sized shelf. He has really given a new word to literature in "strenuous," which is now used wherever English is spoken, in the specialized sense in which it was employed in Mr. Roosevelt's essay. TWIN STARS. Their Revolution When Joined and Their Final Separation. --- Chamber's Journal: Some time ago Prof. Darwin of Cambridge pointed out that if a star revolved on its axis with a certain velocity, that of a few hours, the star would tend to divide into two, and the form it would take before complete separation would be that of a dumbbell, or rather, of two pears joined top to top. This deduction was purely theoretical. During the past two years an examination of the light changes of some recently discovered variable stars reveals this very condition of things. For example, one star in the southern sky goes through a certain series of light changes in seven hours; and an examination of these light changes indicates that the star is a twin system, the two bodies composing it being in contact. This dumbbell system revolves round its common center in seven hours, the most absolute confirmation of the theoretical conclusions. Then there is another variable star in the southern sky, the light changes of which show that the two stars composing the system are no longer in contact; separation has just taken place, the nexus between them is broken, and two worlds, full born, have started on that outward spiral which in the course of ages will carry them far remote from one another. THE AMERICAN GIRL. How She Was Regarded by the Late Marquis of Dufferin. In a character sketch of the late Lord Dufferin in the Review of Reviews, Mr. Stead recalls some talk he had with him once about the extent to which the world was being Americanized by the seductiveness of the American girl: "It is really terrible," he said, "to note the havoc she screws upon the susceptible diplomatists of the world whom she finds at Washington. They find her irresistible, and the most cosmopolitan of services is being Americanized to the core." Of the American girl herself Lord Dufferin said he was "a little too old-fashioned in his ideas easily to reconcile himself to the innocent license of the self-depending but self-indulgent daughter of Brother Jonathan." Classified. During an encampment of the National Guard of Pennsylvania at Mount Gretta several years ago a party of officers went out for a stroll and happening to pass a farm house near the encampment grounds, one of them suggested stopping in for a glass of milk. On going inside the yard they were met by the farmer's daughter, who brought forth a can of buttermilk and some tumblers, saying:: "This is the only kind of milk we have." After each of the party had taken a drink one of them remarked: "By George, that's fine; can you let us have some more?" The lass replied: "Oh. yes; take all you want; we feed it to the pigs, anyway."—Philadelphia Times. A Hall-mark Superfluous Tompkins—What is your idea of an aristocrat?

Tennant, who was fined $2,500 and sentenced to six months in jail for selling lottery tickets. Tennant, it is charged had not only misused the mails, but to evade this violation of the statutes went from place to place with the tikets, thus acting as a common carrier and infringing on the laws of the interstate commerce commission. He pleaded guilty. Missouri in Brief. Brookfield has a new town clock. Cooper county is now out of debt. Near Chillicothe a 3-foot vein of coal has been discovered.

Dunton, first lieutenant, United States army, and major and lately retired professor of military science of the Booneville school, recently died at his home at the age of 68 years A pamphlet has recently been issued on the subject, "More Important Insects Injurious to Wheat in Missouri," and is creating considerable interest among the farmers and others interested in the growth of cereals. The valedictory of the Academic class of the Columbia Normal was won by William Read, having a grade of 91 92-195 per cent. The salutatory was won by J. A. Edwards on a grade of 91 1-3 per cent. The bill for public buildings introduced into congress carries with it annual appropriation of $978,000 for federal buildings in Missouri, including the cities of St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Joplin, Nevada and Louisiana. The state board of equalization has reduced the taxes on mules and cattle in Boone county, making the valuation to be taxed $31.04. The farmers in the vicinity of Hog Branch are delighted with the service of their new telephone system. DeKalb county has 53 Sunday schools. The school children of Kansas City have an aggregate amount of $10,000 on deposit in the savings association, the amount of two years' accumulation. Daniel G. Gulley, a pioneer citizen of Joplin and one of the leading dairymen of Southwest Missouri, recently died after a constant residence there since 1870. Strenuous efforts are being made in Trenton for free city mail delivery. The school election recently held in Patonsburg resulted in a vote of 144 for and 12 votes against the proposition to issue bonds for a new school house. During 1896 Missouri spent more than $12,000,000 in educating the 664-688 pupils enrolled in the public schools of that year and each year thereafter has kept up fully that record. The public libraries of the state contain over 270,000 volumes, valued at near a million dollars. The St. Louis exposition building was sold at public auction last week for $280,000 to the St. Louis Union Trust company. The sale was forced by the bondholders, who were surety for a mortgage for $150,000 on the property. They have never been able to collect on their bonds with the exception of $10,000. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway will build a $15,000 station at Boonville and a $12,000 foot bridge on the railroad bridge across the Missouri river. David Rankin, the Atchison county millionaire farmer, has bought 1700 acres in Chariton county. George W. Shoemaker, postmaster of Albany, was arrested by the sheriff charged with forging notes and mortgages on the school fund, on information filed by the prosecuting attorney Governor Dockery has pardoned Charles Hoover from the penitentiary, where he was serving a five years' sentence for forgery in the second degree. At one time Hoover was considered one of the best ball players in the business and ten years ago caught for the Kansas City team when that city won the pennant. Bernard Corrigan, a Kansas City capitalist and railway contractor has been selected as president of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, which controls all the lines in Kansas City and the Kansas City Electric Lighting company. These companies, which are owned by the same interests, are to be consolidated, and Mr. Corrigan is to assume the joint management at once. James Duffield, who was elected mayor of Buckner at the last election on the Prohibition ticket, has been arrested charged with selling liquor without a license.

When he had testified the court announced a fine of $100, from which an appeal has been taken. The new Farmington asylum for the insane will be ready for occupancy by July 1. Plans are ready for the removal of a large number of the mentally afflicted from the asylums at Fulton, St. Joseph and Nevada to Farmington, especially those whose former homes were in southeast Missouri.

Frequent Improvements in Condition of Tenant Farmers Has Taken the String. Dublin letter: We in Ireland have gone back twenty years—that is what the Crimes' Act Proclamation has accomplished for us politically. The land war of 1882 has reopened, and is now under full headway. The National League has come into direct collision with the government, and we have already had a couple of weeks of keen competition in the endeavor to prove which has the greater authority in the land. The South and the West are as usual the war ground—it never is otherwise it these crises. That is where the government has had to suspend the operation of ordinary law—the law of the constitution—has done it for the same old reason as in 1881-2. The government had ceased to hold any real authority in Clare, Cork, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo. In a few other sections South and West, and in one southern county in Northern Lister, conditions were steadily pursued until the south point. The lord lieutenant of Ireland thereupon decided that he would begin the attack, and thus score one on the league. Things would probably have been much slower in reaching the crash, if the English local government system had not been extended to rural Ireland by the radical Balfour reform act of a few years since. That legislation made the people in rural Ireland supreme, it put all the local authority in the counties into their hands. The nobleman and gentleman took a secondary place thenceforth, and the new county councils, made up altogether of representatives of the masses—farmers and shopkeepers—were given all the former governing powers of the grand jury. The elective county councils were at once the most active allies of the National league, and they have steadily increased its power until the law threatened to become a dead letter and so the Dublin authorities have now interfered. The county councils have so much power. If local farmers whose relations with their landlords were such that they had no special reason for working in with the league, and if they consequently became apathetic, the council had an easy way of getting even with them. This way was to leave the farmer who did not support the league out of all contracts for road-making and other local works. The county council has the awarding of all such contracts in its own hands. Even this sort of treatment—this disciplining of the farmers whose record had fallen behind what the league expected and demanded, did not prove all powerful, and the same thing happened that has always happened before under similar conditions—a number of farmers in the various districts that have now been put under the crimes act insisted on doing things to suit themselves in the matter of rent-paying and if they were satisfied with their landlord and thought the amount of rent charged them to be fair, ignored the mandates of the league. Then they began to have a more or less bad time of it, and things happened in these southern and western counties which at last aroused governmental action. The crimes act was put into operation, making it possible for the government to do many things it could not under constitutional law. If a prosecution was begun, and local sympathies were opposed to it, the authorities, under the special powers of the crimes act, could have the trial venue changed to make application to any court. Cases prosecuted under the act can be decided by special juries, and power of summary jurisdiction is given the authorities wherever prosecution is judged necessary because of league intimidation. There has always been a gradually increasing unrest, invariably leading up to and culminating in a declaration of war between the leagues and the crown (between all the leagues of the past, and each government forced to attack them) when reasonable bounds were exceeded in agitation. Of late the utterances of league speakers at platform meetings have certainly outrun what is commonly considered the bounds of discretion. John Dillon, especially, has in some recent speeches gone beyond the land controversy altogether. It was not, however, Mr. Dillon's (and others) war talk which brought on the enforcement of the crimes act. It was because of intimidation, which was rapidly superseding the authority of the ordinary law. In the western and southern districts terrorizing had assumed a definite form and was beyond the stage where it could be ignored by the law. But it needed a special law, giving special powers, to cope with this terrorizing of farmers who did not think they had grievances and therefore preferred to go their own ways, to pay rent, and let the league go its way, without either party molesting the other. But that was not a policy the league could agree to accept. In several large sections we are having some excitement here, and these may prove only the starting places of widely spreading agitation. But it is believed here that things will never go as far this time as they have gone formerly. There has been too much done for the tenant farmers by regular legislation, and their list of grievances has been reduced. There are too many satisfied farmers now, whose lack of enthusiasm for the league has robbed it of much of its potentiality in various regions. MARMADUKE DALY. Mothers will find Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup the best remedy to use for their children during the teething period. CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. Prof. Shaler of Harvard Explains the Formation of Volcanoes and Their Eruption. Cambridge, Mass., May 12—Prof. Shaler of Harvard university thus explains the formation of volcanoes and the catastrophe that has befallen St. Pierre, Martinique Island: Volcanic outbreaks are merely the explosion of steam under high pressure—steam which is bound in rocks buried underneath the surface of the earth and there subjected to such tremendous heat that when the conditions are right its pent up energy breaks forth, and it shatters its stone prison walls into dust. The process by which the water becomes buried in this manner is a long one. Some contend that it leaks down from the surface of the earth through fissures in the crater crust, but this theory is not generally accented. The common belief is that water enters the rocks during the crystalization period, and that these rocks, through the natural action of rivers and streams, become deposited in the bottom of the ocean. Here they lie for many ages, becoming buried deeper and deeper under masses of like sediment, which are constantly being washed down upon them from above. This process is called the blanketing process. Each additional layer of sediment, while not raising the level of the sea bottom, buries the first layers just so much the deeper, and adds to their temperature just as does the laying of extra blankets on a bed. When the first layer has reached a depth of a few thousand feet the rocks which contain the water of crystalization are subjected to a terrific heat. This heat generates steam, which is held in a state of frightful tension in its rocky prison. It is at these moments that volcanic eruptions occur. They occur because of wrinkling in the outer crust in the earth's surface—wrinklings caused by the constant shrinking of the earth itself and by the contraction of the outer surface as it settles on the plastic center underneath. Fissures are caused by these foldings, and as these fissures reach down into the earth the pressure is removed from the rocks and the compressed steam in them and it explodes with tremendous force. The rocks containing the water are blown into dust. Boer Commander at White House. Washington, D. C., May 8—W. D. Snyman, the Boer commander who represents the Boer interests in this country, lunched with President Roosevelt today. He declared there was no significance attached to his presence at the white house, and that his visit was purely personal. Other guests were Secretary of War Root and Governor Taft.

OUR thanks are due the following named persons who have paid their subscriptions to this paper recently: Mr. Edward Brown, Rev. J. A. Grant and Mr. Chas. Grandison. THROUGH the kindness of Pres. W. T. Vernon, of Western University and Pres. E. L. Scruggs, of Western College, we have been invited to attend their commencement exercises. We often complain of the criticism we receive at the hands of the white people concerning our department in public places, but in many instances it is not severe enough. The disorderly conduct of a few over-grown specimens of humanity at Stone's Hall Thursday evening was a disgrace to any race. The employment of an officer on such occasions to help these impostors out of the windows would not be out of place. LAST week we had the pleasure of entertaining our old friend Mr. T. C. Capleton, of Jefferson City. Mr. Capleton is one of Jefferson City's most enterprising men and is one of the best caterers in the state, which profession he has followed for over a quarter of a century. He was at one time employed at the Powers hotel in this city and for the last eighteen years he has held a similar position at Jefferson City. Mr. Capleton has made a beautiful park adjoining his home in the eastern part of the City which was opened for the pleasure of the colored people of the capital. THROUGH the efforts of State Superintendent Carrington with those of Pres. E. A. Clark, of Lincoln Institute, and other educators of this state, a summer normal school has been planned for the negro teachers of Missouri and we trust that it will be well attended. If the negro teachers show that they appreciate such a school by attending the same there will, no doubt, be a liberal appropriation made at the next general assembly to make it a permanent institution. A summer normal properly conducted will do much to improve the negro schools in Missouri. The Negro Teachers' Institutes are and have been ever since they were established, in a measure, failures, and in many instances, hinderances to the course of negro education. Many teachers do not attend the Institute because it is simply a loss of time and money while much good in the way of improving one's scholarship can be derived from a summer school of several weeks. Bits of Wisdom for Mother. Teach your children correct enunciation. Pains are taken to have children properly taught to sing, but they are not so carefully taught to read and speak. Yet more than half the charm of social intercourse depends on the agreeable use of the voice. Teach your children the proper use of money. Do not indulge them by giving them money in an indiscriminate manner, to spend as they please. Children who get a nickel every time they ask for it often make themselves sick eating cheap cakes and candy, sickness often resulting from your own selfishness in giving them money to be rid of their importunities. It is also apt to make them grow up with extravagant ideas, and very often stealing is a second step, when parental indulgence has worn out. Teach them to be self-reliant, and selfconfident. The world respects and upholds the one who will "do and dare." Those who make their mark in the world are the bold the aggressive, and the self-confident. Those who dare mark out a path and have the courage to follow it. Teach them to do what is right regardless of artificial rewards and penalties. Teach them to prefer the good without reference to self, to plan for and aim at giving others pleasure, not getting it. And although in so doing they will experience a rich enjoyment themselves, it will be incidental, never one for which they had striven. Teach them to be forgiving, to be courteous. A well-bred child is ever a courteous child; forgiveness and courtesy go hand in hand. Don't allow your children to be "snubby" towards people. Teach them they can never avenge one wrong by committing another; "two wrongs never made a right." Discourage bitterness, jealousy and rancor; teach them that "speech is silver, but silence is golden." The very best way to meet insult and injury is with an utter, stinging indifference; nothing cuts the slanderer like the knowledge of being totally ignored. Anger, hatred, bickering and quarreling always inflict the greatest wrong in their reaction. Teach them never to argue with the positive person, it does not pay; suavity is better than insist ing on your own opinion and getting it; even if you know you are in the right don't force your opinion. Teach them that life is too short to waste time on frivolous things; that good men and women are ever in great demand—men and women who are not afraid of work, who, having centered their aim, have persistence to follow it; remember, "tis the long, steady pull, the unconquerable purpose, the unbroken effort, that win the battle of life." Teach them to be cheerful, to smile and bear up bravely under trouble; fretting, and making all around them miserable, never will better matters. Show them by example when adversity comes that cheerfulness lightens the load and they will catch the same beautiful spirit. A wise man once said: "Stop lookin' fer trouble and happiness 'll look fer you." Teach them in all their undertakings to apply method; finish one piece of work before another is started; in this, as in all other things, "precept is well, but example is better."—Ex. Points For The Cook. Eggs shells should be thrown into the stockpot directly tea contents are used. The secret in baking sponge cakes is to have a steady oven, and not to open the door for the first twenty minutes. A layer of sliced onions placed on the top of a roast of beef and allowed to cook there will give a delicious flavor to the meat, while their distinctive flavor will not be noticeable. A judicious blend of different kinds of coffee always produces a better liquor than any single coffee; but this mixture ought to be made after roasting, and not before. Cutting butter in very cold weather is often a difficulty. When cutting a slice of butter from a large roll, first dip the knife into hot water, when all likelihood of breaking the butter will be avoided. To Freshen Salt Butter.—Place the butter in a basin and pour over it some freshly-skimmed milk. Work it about with wooden "hands" until all the salt is out of it. Pour away the milk, wash once with water, make into pats and serve. Test for Butter.—Take a clean piece of white paper, smear a lit- ATTENTION LADIES.
