Beyond the Mississippi!

Thousands have already gone, and
thousands more are turning their eyes to
wards new homes in the fertile West To
those going to Missouri, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada,
Oregon or California, we recommend a
cheap, safe, quick and direct route, via
st Louis, over the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road, which runs its fine Dav Coaches and
Pullman Sleepers from St. Louis to prin-
cipal points, avithout change. We believe
that the Missouri Pacific Railroad has the
best track and the finest and safest equip
ment of any line west of the Mississippi,
and its connections with roads further
West are prompt and reliable The
Texas connection of this road is now
completed, and passengers are offered a
first class, all-rail route from st Louis 10
Texas, either over the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas r R., via Sedalio, or over the
Atlantic & Pacific R r rid Vinita For

Very Interesting work.

We have just received from the Ma
tional Publishing Co. of Cincinnati, a
copy of Prof o. s. Fowler's great work
ON Manhood, Womanbood, and their
Mutual Interrelations Love. lts Laws,
Power. etc. We hail its advent with
urdisguised satisfaction, and cordially
commend it tothe perusal of all classes
of our community. Forty years expe
rience as teacher and lecturer on sci
enee, and long life devoted to CONSUL
tations and advice in connection with
subjects concerning which men and wo.
men hesitate to confide-even in their
physicians-have enabled Professor
Fowler to give to the world the most
remarkable and useful volume of the
day, and one which should find its way
an'o the hands of every conscientious
man and woman.

THE lNFIRMARY CONFLICT,
Mr. Louis Sulesberger'S App0ius-
ment Approved by the County
Com intSSsOnerS,

Mr. EDITOR: l noticed an editorial
under the above heading IN the issue of
the SPIRIT of March II, 1873, and sup
posing that it mi ght, were the facts and
circumstances connected with the APP
pointment of Superintendent for the
County Inlirmary not understood, place
me in an improper light before the
people of the county; and having always
been Democrat and regular subscri-
Der for the SPIRIT, l ask you, in justice
to myself, to publish the following:
First 1t is stated in said article that
Mr.. Sulesberger is, without question, the
best manager the county has ever had in
that position; and the officials who ad-
hered to his appointment, and confirmed
it are entitled to the thanks of the tax
PAYERS of Monroe County. Now, why
is it the tax PAYERS of Monroe County
are thankful for the appointment of
Sulesberger2 Is it because it costs them
$3.50 more than it would have cost TO
get another man, whom the lnfrmary
Directors themselves acknowledge to lie
honest and capable. and one of the best
men that ever filed the position! o.,
is it because they are so re,B anxious to
CRAFTY the personal feeling o.! a particu-
lar individual a. the expense Of the peo-
pie of the county at large? Now, l
have no compliant to make against Mr.
Sultsberger. believe him To lie good
man for the position, but cant see why
he is $3.50 better per year than another
man who has been tried, and in all Ne
spects found worthy and efficient, and so
pronounced hy the Infilmaiy Directors
themselves, ami think it will he very
hard To convince the tax payers of the
truth of the aforesaid statement. The
lnlirmary Directors can remove at pleas
ure. without showing any cause, the Su-
perin,endent of the lntirmaly,on written
notice. Why not appoint tue lowest
bidder, and, if he does wrong, remove
him i: not, permit him to remain p
That course would satisfy the tax pay
ers; hut they don't see why majority
of the Infrmary Directors should throw
away Sl90of the money belonging tn
the people OF the county in opposition
to minority of the Board, which is
powerless. Suppose the County Com
missioners advertise contract for coun-
ty coal, and provide that bond must he
given for the faithful execution of the
contract, and A puts IN bid for l0c per
bushel, B for l5c, G for zoe, and D for
25c, and the Commissioners accept DIS
bid; would the tax payers sustain them
in such action ? or would they say that
they were profigate in the expenditure
of money that they dld not own9 Why
should the commissioners be compli,
mented for undoing that they did at
their session in February, in which they
refused to confirm the contract with
Sulesberger. for the reason that bid al
500 less was in, and then at theil
March session confirm the bid of Sules-
berger at $3.50. when bids Of $500 and
S400 were before them and rejected P
