THE HORMAL BUILDING.
The Extensive Repairs Now Under
Way.

Very few persons even in Kirksville
are aware OF the extent and character
Of the repairs and improvements being
made 10 the State Normal building at
this place. Wednesday morning, ac-
companied by Mr.. G. W. Delleamer,
who is one OF the nam contractors, we
mad the pleasure of visiting and exam
ming the building.
Commencing at the basement the
dirt is being removed back from the
foundation walls in order to admit
light, and 1t will be graded down and
sodded leaving an area all around the
building which is to be paved with
brick and thoroughly drained with
t,ling. Mr.. James Shahan has the con
tract for this work, and has a NUMBER
of hands buslIy employed. The walls
OF the basement LAID bare by the re-
moval of the dirt Is now receiving a
coat of cement which is lined into
blocks. adding materially to the looks
of the building. Messers. Armstrong
and Ford, who also are to do the plas-
tering of the interior, have charge of
this part of the work. Within, the
basement floors are being lald, doors
and windows cut, and the walls pre-.
pared for plasterin9. Some of the
rooms are nearly finished and they
prove to be light. airy, and will make
convenient rooms. This work will very
nearly double the capacity of the build
ing in the way of recitation and study
rooms. Up stairs the various rooms
have been receiving repairs made neces-
sary by the changes IN the heating ap-
paratus. and new wainscoting added
with other imp ovements.
The old heating apparatus has been
taken out and a new furnace and hot
AIR pipes will be put IN with guaran-
tee by st. Louis firm.
Mr.. DeReamer IN connection with
Mr.. d. D. Glenn has the contract for
all the inside work, Mr.. Glenn taking
personal charge of the carpenter work.
The wood work of the entire build
ing, outside and inside, is receiving a
thorough painting at the hands of
Messers. Chase and Fussleman of this
city. We are glad to note the fact that
klrKsvllle men are doing most, if not
all the work on the building, not mere
ly from selfish point ofvlew, but be-
cause it Is an evidence that we have
the ability and skill to do 1T right.
The amount to be expended IN COM
pletine and putting the building n
good order will amount to about $l6. |
600.

THE FOURTH AT BRASHEAR.
A Big Crowd and a Pleasant Time.

In response to kind invitation ex
tended by personal friends in Saltrive
township, a GRAPHIC scribe visited
Brashear on the 4th and "took in the
celebration" at that enterprising little
town.
The crowd present was varlously
estimated at from 1900 to $500, and
during the whole day we failed to see
a single disorderly, intoxicated or i'll
humored individual. Indeed every
thing passed off with perfect success,
without jar Or failure. The celebra-
ton was held in a breezy, shady grove,
just west of town.
Proceedings opened at the stand by
vocal music accompanied by the organ.
The Home Glee Club organized for
the occasion did themselves much
credit. The Declaration was read by
Mr.. Hervey Greenwood, and this was
followed by the

Sun Storms.

During the past week distinct and
we'll defined spot has been visible on
the face of the sun, and 1t can be easily
distinguished by any one by the use OF
smoked glass. Our attention was
first called to it by DR.. Grove on Sum-
day last. The Rochester IN. w Dem-
oe,at and Chronicle Of a recent date
says that since the 2sd,the disturbance
of the sun has increased with great
rapidity. An observation yesterday
through the flying, clouds revealed a
view that was somewhat a. palhng. A
group ofsun spots that was just making
its appearance on the s3d had reached
the suns center and had spread over
a vast area, while new group Of i'm
mense proportions had made its ap.
pearance on the east This group con-
sists Of two very large spots connected
by a chain of smaller ones. The re-
gion is torn in every direction. About
the two great storm centers there is
evidence of a whlrling motion. The
tongues of white fame which surround
the dark chasms OF the spots are bent
in the direction of the cyclore motion.
The area of disturbance is now greater
than at any time since the sun-spot
period began. There has been a con-
slant increase In tine violence aud OK
tent of,he solar storms dur ng the past
year. The tremendous outbreak of
last November is fairly dwarfed by the
present convulsions. Unless the sun
is undergoing some permanent change
it would seem that the storms must
soon reach climax and subside. But
so long as they continue We may ex-
pect violent storms and unaccountable
weather on the earth The precipita.
ton Of rain over the north temperate
zone has already become a matter of
great concern, and there are no imme-
diate prospects of diminution. The
water has been pumped into the air by
the suns increased heat, and it must
descend. If this state of things should
continue for two or three years more,
the most disastrous consequences must
follow. In the natural course OF events
it is expected that the solar disturb
ance will soon subslde. But there is
no telling what may happen in our
wlirl through space.

Editors and Reporters.

Says a New York letter-writer: All
newspaper men can be placed in one
line or another. They are either editors
or reporters. An editor is not, as many
suppose. a writer who gives opinions OF
''views" as thev are oddly named. An
editor is one who revlses, corrects
amends. curtails and gives out what he
or Others have written. Areporter is not
always simple chronicler of occurren.
ces In what are called editorial
columns. the writers take the fact and
comment on it. In all great papers;
under the one editor there are aids who
are called editors, but who are simply
assistants. performing the duties for
which the editor is responsible, but for
the performance Of which he has not
time.

IN IOWA.

In Iowa the line between the twt
parties on the temperance question
seems to have been sharply drawn.
The republicans take square stant
in favor of the enforcement Of the pro
hibition clause, on the ground that +:
large and decisive majority of the peo
pie have voted for 1t.
The democrats, on the other hand,
as they have done in Ohio, declare
against constitutional prohibition ane
favor license system.
II will be we'll enough for prohibl
tionists generally to keep these little
facts in mind.
The democracy do not intend tnal
even a majority shall be permitted to
prohibit the liquor traffic ifthey can pre-
vent 1t.
On the other hand, while all repubE-
cons are not prohibitionists, the repub-
lican party as a whole, believe the
majority should rule, and that their
legally expressed wishes in the matter
should be carried out.
The passage of the bill by the En-.
gllsh House of Lords permitting a
man to marry his deceased wife's sister,
ends controversy which could have
scarcely been more bitter had it been
a proposition to marry a live wife's Sis
ter, But prejudice, after fifty years of
agitation, has given way at last, and as
soon as the Honse of Commons passes
the bll! an Englishman may have the
same rights and privileges in the United
Kingdom which he now enjoys in its
colonies and in the United States.
Practically the law has been abolished
for many years, but such marriages
have been under the legal ban and at
tended with all the disadvantages as re-
spects children and property that other
illegal marriages involve. Dire prophe-
cies of evil, especially from the clergy, |
have been uttered as to the results of
removing this barrier to such marriages.
immortality, the disruption of the fam
ly, the loss of family affection, are
among the terrible consequences pre-
1icted. They will all be found baseless
md serve bye-and-bye only to make
hose who uttered them the object of
1erision. The Prince Of Wales and his
,rothers have steadily voted in favor of
he reform; the lords spiritual, the bish-
'ps and.archibshops, steadily against

coal in this section, but to find pay

The star route trials have come t
an end as every thing IN this world
must always do sooner or later.
| The country stands amazed ane

the amazing thing about it is, thai
such graoeless scamps should have

of the leaders and very best men In the
Republican party.
A strong Iowa Journalist who knows
what he writes about gets off this part
ing shot at
| STEPHEN W. DORSEY
The impudence of Mr.. Stephen W.
Dorsey is as colossal as his facilities in
inventing schemes of private and pub
lie plunder. His speech to few mis-
guided colored republicans at Wash.
ington in which he compares himse!fto
Warren Hastings, his trials to that ia
nous one, and imagines that Europe
and ASIA and the ends of the world
are delighted and blest by his acquittal
shows the vulgar ambition and monu-
mental audacity OF this man. Mr..
Dorsey painted houses and fences and
stables and shops as his business in
Oberlln. Ohio. He went to Little
Rock, Arkansas during the reconstruc-
tion period and became a capitalist
without means and statesman with.
out character. He de, ised railroad
from Helena to Little Rock which he
had no purpose of building, went to
London and by sheer force of audacity
sold $7oo.ooo of the worthless bonds at
eighty-three cents on the dollar. He
disposed of 100000 of the bonds in
Holland. He came home and bought
the United States senatorship, and
went into bankruptcy for $4So,ooo,
assets nothing. When a senator, he
got angry at Mr.. McCrarey, secretary
of war, because the latter would not
advise congress to build railway to
Dorsey's ranch in New Mexico as al
necessity. Mail carrying
contracts had been used for the small
frauds of small men. Dorsey took hold
of them and made them into scheme
of national plunder. He is the most
unmitigated villain in America. But
Of course as he is a thief on large
scale the jury acquitted him. If he
had only stolen a pair of shoes he
would have been sent to jail.
And yet with all his damning record
veil known, he managed to maintain
Intimate relations with the best men of
he party and in the country-and now
