JKEYKKsoH CITY, No, Feb. 10.
The capital removal question 10 sssum.
Ing hugs proportions, and Is the general
topic I'll conversation on the STREETS and in
hotels and salooss. The msjoriiy Of the
citizens and propsrty owners, without Civ
ing the matter proper thought, believe with
One arcord that the removal VI the capital
would prove fatal 10 Jefferson City, while
the calm, deliberate thinkers take . very
Different viev Of the subject They are
willing and anxious that the question be
submiiied 10 . Vote Of the people, and thus
piece = lxssiny quietus On the matter.
Their rsssocs are Logical, and will bear the
confederation Of all thinking people Of the
town.
IL 10 vel, known to all that property here
hes no market value II present, and has not
had sincs the 6rt agitation OF the subject
some four or Eve years ago. There b.
been NO Improvements for the isst ten Yeas.
and there 10 no induceDent TO invest Dof,ey
while mstiess are so unsettled, ard there
will probably Be no change until the ques-
ton 70 decided BY the people. The trouole
here hiss heeo thst busine. m~n have de-
psnded too much upon the stais TO build
The town. Instead Of Offering iniucemeu s
70 capitalists to invest mosey here ia man
ufsctories, railroads ard other public im-
pr0vemenis, they have remsiaed in dor.
msns state from y ~i0n . ssion, and,
Aaesvbsr like, have waited for something
10 torn up. There seems 10 be probability
that they are going To get thei: hearts de-
sire, and thst soDething In really going 10
be turned up, and that soon
II will undoubtedly benefit oar CITY VI the
capital IL removed, as il will have zen
deDcy 10 srouse the ole .pers from ihei. !cth-
gain their lost prestige, and TO keep up
With the front ranks Of this progressive age
Removal or NO removal, valuations will
be established, and the boom wall then set
in, asd NOT until then. Let the people vote
