From the Jefferson City journal

The sureties on Colonel Gates old
bond are making big effort to make
good the deficit occasioned by
the failure of the Mastin bank. Their
plan is understood to be this: To
take an assignment Of the Treasurer s
claim against the broken bank and
make from it all they can. They are
enabled to do this by certain fortuit-
GUS circumstances, the principle one
of which is this: They were the hold
er of claim against the bankrupt 'es-
tate Of the old State bank, {the Ma
tional Bank of the State of Missouri)
in the sum OF 1920, 900. They also
became possessed of large amount
of other claims against the defunct
institution, which they bought at a
prodigious discount-for one-fourth
their real value. Seventy-five per
cent of these liabilities having been
liquidated by dividends paid they
have recovered very near if not quite
the full amount of their original claim,
S450,000. They are, therefore, now
about prepared TO take an assign
ment of the Treasurer's claim against
the Mastin bank and make good his
deficit, and as the claim is, as has
been alleged, for the Mastin's share
of the s45O,0O0 liability created by
the failure of the old State bank, the
reason and propriety of such an ar
rangement will very we'll appear.

A VISIT TO MEXICO.
Its EEnprOvernents---What 4 saw

Unsurpassed.

WV H->i bi-N III L bltoii
September first boarded the c. &
A. Railroad for visit to the above
named town. After suffering the in
convenience of the heat | arrived safe
ly, and durlHg my stay enjoyed the
hospitality of my time -hOnored friend,
NJ. Y. Duncan and his interesting
family. l met in town many old
friends and acquaintances. Among
the number was Judge Bnckner, look
ing we'll, time has dealt very gently
with him; also Dick Fowler, Ben
Locke, James Carroll, Judges Ed
wards and Clark, Co.'s Hutton and
McIlhany, Sam Craig, K. w. and
Ben Tureman, J. NJ. Marmaduke,
Coons, Gordon and others. Mexico
is marching rapidly in improvements :;
buildings superior in style and archi-
lecture than formerly. AS business
centre Mexico surpasscs any other in
land town in Central Missouri. What
was once vast prairie without any
improvements is now well built up
with splendid farm houses and cult
waited farms, which looks in foul
ishIng condition. Railroads to carry
of their surplus produce enhances the
prosperity OF both town and county.
A quarter of a century has worked
wonders where once the bowling wolf
and cunning fox rCamed without let
or hinderance. We saw large corn
fields, wheat, rye, oats, &c; large
barns, school-houscs, churches, and
in fact everything that the highest
civilization requires. There is nc
other county in Central Missouri that
has prospcred faster than Audrair
county. She has acted in unison il
building railroads and paying fOl
them without murnur. Their cit
izens are hOspitable and kind; low,
. to visit them for have always re.
ceivcd a cordial welcome, and hope
! they will live II thousand years ant
their shadows never grow less.

The Speed Of IA Locomotive.

comotive No. 500, rushing over the
meadows toward Rutherford Park.

"A mile minute said Fraser.

going now more than thirtyfve miles
an hour, and this is very fast. Few
trains make this speed. The pas
sengers in the cars would think we
were going mile minute sure if |
was TO pull out the throttle so as TO
send her forty miles an hour. The

Great EuterDrises.

The present time is fruitful in
schemes OF great magnitude. There
are already projected:
A new suspension bridge over Nj
agara river;
A new Atlantic Cable in addition
to that now in process of construc-
ton;
A ship canal across the Isthmus of
Darien;
A ship-railroad across the same
strip of land, separating two oceans
A railroad over the desert of Saha-
ra, connecting Algeria and Soudan;
A canal, which, conveying the
waters of the Mediterranean into the
sands of Africa, shall make a great
inland sea and fertilize arid wastes;
The establishment of water-commu-
nication between the Black and Cas-
plan seas.
Add to these enterprises, most of
which seem likely to be undertaken
in the near future:
Ericson's scheme for utilizing the
suns heat;
Edison's scheme for utilizing cleo
tricity;
The various plans Of geographical
discovery; .1E.
The solution of the mysteries of
Central Africa, and the civilization Of
its savaees;
The destruction OF the world 8
plaques; ... -.5. .r
The emancipation of every slave;
Universal education;
The adjustment of the relations of
labor and capital;
And we need not fear that the
worlds great thinkers and doors will
get out of work anG have to go tramp

AIS. But the path efAthe just is as
shining light, that shineth more and
more INTO the perfect day.
From the above it would appear as
if there were nothing in the Scrip
lures or the.teaets5of Catholicism or
Protestantisln, looking-to the attain
ment Of moral perfection previous to
departure from this life; but there is
much on the other hand to discourage
such expectation. Paul, Rom. z,
IA l5, said: But L am carnal, sold
UNDER sin, for that which 1 do, I al
low not; but what hate, that do L.
And in Rom. 7, "a: o wretched man
that ] am who shall deliver me from
the body of this death. And again,
Phil. 3, l2-13-14: Not as though l
had already attained, either were al
ready perfect; but / follow after, if
that i may apprehend that for which
L am also apprehended of Christ
Jesus. Brethren, | count not myself
to have apprehended; but this one
thing L do, forgetting those things
which are behind and reaching for
ward to those things which are. be-
fore, l press toward the mark for the
high calling of God IN Christ Jesus.

editors-everybedy's pecking-blocks,
creations scapegoats and sway
backed pack mules. Deadhead tick
cts to circuses, dog shows and straw
berry festivals-(paid for at the rate
of five dollar notice for a twenty
five cent ticket)-all are very we'll in
their way and daily bouquets from
girls who want to get their names in
the papers, with the stereotyped
"beautiful and accomplished" formu-
la swung to them, are 'Just too
charming for anything" Do not let
them lead you into that dlngy den OF
inky horror, treadmill labor and
squandered opportunities, burlesque-
ingly known as the editorial sanctum.
Stand back. Keep out. Be boot
blacks, chimney sweeps, penitentlary
birds, or members of the maniac me-
nagerie that meets in the gorgeous
whited sepulchre of a capitol at
Washington. Be mud clerks on a
coal barge, deck hands in rip fac
tory, engineers of a one-donkey pow
er canal boat, dairy maids with an
aged OK and two he-goats as the stock
in trade, servant girl IN poor house
or orphan asylum. Be stock gam
blers, railroad directors, attendants OF
a sausage-stuffing machine, rag ven-

AS has already been stated, the
first considerable sales of land in the
interior counties of this State under
the s'back-tax law will he made in
October-ahout the middle of the

these sales, and the amount of land
sold viii be large-ten to fifty thOus-
and acres in some single counties,
and two hundred Thousand acres OF
more IN the whole State. In answer
to letters of inquiry on the subject,
we viii state that the sales are to be
absolute, the purchaser in each case
receiving deed In fee for the pro.
perty bought. The law : has Beer
