Mr.. Wsddell made a good point at the

as the other, and that as the people must go
somewhere to procure supplies and to sell

against Lexington. Mr.. Waddell supple
mented this statement with the assertion
that for a long time in sending -four across
the river he had found that the team had
more trouble to get from the mill to the ferry
boat, than from the ferry boat to Richmond.
He thought the city should place Water
street in as good condition as proper grading
could accomplish, at least. This Is q matter
by which all the business interests of the city
are affected, and we hope 1t will attract at
tention in the proper quarter.
Missouri Republican, June 29:-"A gentle
man signing himself as old st. Louissn'
writes a very interesting letter, In which he
says he has been watching with great interest
the movement on foot to build the St. Louis
Kansas City Short Line, Since the project
has assumed form, he thinks it behooves
business men and capitalists Of this city to
inquire and see what there is in 1t. In o very
forcible manner he shows that such u line
would be very beneficial to St. Louis mer-
chants, urging that all great railroads are the
effective drummers and advertising agents
for their tributary cities. The correspondent
advertlses the proposed line in these words
The proposed shOrt-line road, as chartered,
runs from this city, crossing the Missouri
river at a point between St. Charles and
Howelrs ferry, thence passing near Warren
ton and by way of Danville, Fulton, Column
bia, Fayette. (crossing the Missouri river
again at Saline City. through Marshall and
Lexington to Kansas City. This line runs
through the wealthiest. most fertile and pop
ulOus tier of counties in the state, and the
richest and most productive belt of land In
the world. More than half the route Is un-
derlaid with coal, and all along the line, is to
be found in adequate abund Ince the finest
varieties Of hard timber and building stone,
The country, though not broken or possessing
any great elevations, is beautifully unduIat.

ty miles shorter than any existing line, or any
that can be constructed over any other route
and with lower grades. this must become the
popular and economic route of travel, and
traffic between Kansas City and this place
and must soon bring back to US that large and
profitable trade, which IS ours naturally, and
of right, and has only been driven away By
neglect, and for want of q direct line of com

The Higginsville Post. In commenting or
the question of collecting back taxes, says
''Some good wsuld come from the contention

poor, sx-ridden and oppressed people in THU
county are forced to pay their taxes twict

body will explain this outrageous matter and
suggest a remedy he will be as much Of

down the tax attorneys commission to sever

above which is grossly incorrect, and there

the collectors with theft. There will, OF
course, in the best management, be some mis-
takes whereby persons may be asked to pay
taxes that have already been paid. but every
precaution is taken against such errors
