GRADING COMMENCED.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Dec. IL
One hundred teams and men to-
day went into camp at the river
north of the city three miles and
will commence Monday morning
on the grade from the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fs Railroad.
This is the Santa Fe's route east
1t leaves Kansas City on the Belt
Line and then hugs the river shore
for thirteen miles to Sibley, which
is northeast of this city, where it
will bridge the big Muddy, and
proceed, northeasterly. The sound
ings for'the bridge have been made
and work will commence shortly.
Real estate along the proposed line
is increasing in value daily, aud
the bluff farming land is bringing
S2.75 per acre.
LINNEUs, Mo, December H.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe surveyors have completed the
survey of the proposed air line
route from Chicago to Kansas
City by the way of Kirksville and
Linneus. They are now encamped
in this city. They have made three
surveys through this part of the
country. That they will build OF
this line there is no doubt.

N,sn al Notes.

Mrs. Nettie Hovey and Miss
Mamie Sharp, visited the Normal
Thurday.
Thursday and Friday Miss
Sweet was absent visiting the
public schools of Mexico, Mo. She
reports very favorably their meth
DDS of teaching music.
Prof. Barnard lectured at Kar-
ney, Mo-, Friday morning and
evening, before the teachers in
stitute of Clay county. He re-
ports lively institute at that
place, and met there several of the
old students of the Normal.
Judge Irwin and several gentle
men from Sullivan county, attend
ing court in the city, visited the
Normal Monday.
Prof. Blanton delivered a lee
ture at Fulton, Mo-, last Friday.
The examining committee ap-
pointed by the Governor of the
State, visited us Tuesday and
Wednesday. The committee is
composed of Hon. W. G. Downing,
Pres, j. W. Alexander, DIR. Craw-
ford, and Z. L. Schofeld, Sec. Mr..

sion of teaching.

-A county Treasurer I'M Ark.

Il county treasurer in Ark
kansas has been convicted of en-
bezzling $1,000. He claims that,
in the absence of a safe, he hid
the money in a boot, secreted the
boot in a hay-loft and that some
one made off with the booty. His
only defence is that the boot is on
some other fellows leg.
1t is looked upon as almost
a certainty that Kirksville will
get the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe road. Now if the Chica-
60, Burlington and Kansas City
road should determine to have a
parallel line, as our Richmond
dispatch would indicate, Kinks
vile would have railroad advanta-
gss that are enjoyed by few in
land towns.
The word has gone out that
during the last session of the
county court, the county officials,
including the county and circuit
clerks, held a business meeting.
We are not informed as to the
business transacted, but the meet
ing is a healthy omen; and we
trust that not only the affairs of
Adair county, but of all other
counties in the state will be AMIGA
bly, adjusted in the spirit and let
ter of the law.
Every enterprising town
has a village improvement organi-
zation. Such an organization in
Kirksville, if composed of ener-
getic persons, would improve the
appearance of the town one hum
dred per cent in single season.
Who will be the first to make the
move in this direction? Now is
the time to perfect the organiza-
tion and get ready for the work in
the spring. Let US try it for one
season.

THE MESSAGE.
The Presidents message to con

The Presidents message to con-
gress is 4 lengthy and exhaus-
tive document. He refers to the
"cruel treatment of inofensive
Chinese" in some Of the western
states and territories, and protests
against "the oppression of indi-
viduals of special race" France
is granted a pleasant paragraph,
and Liberty Enlightening the
World" is expected to increase the
sympathy existing between the
United States and Bartholdi's ma
tive land. In the chapter devoted
to England the Canadian fishery
trouble is reviewed, and the presi-
dent frankly states that the
actions of the Canadian officials to-
ward our fishermen seriously
threatened the continuance of
friendly relations between the two
countries. He questions the right
of Mexico to try and punish Amer
lean citizens for crime committed
on American soil, the Cutting
case being referred to, and pro-
tests the attempted exercise of
such a statue, as unwarranted by
the principles of law and inter-
national usages. He recommends
an international copyright law,
and hopes that the just claims OF
authors so urgently pressed will
be duly hesded. He repeats his
suggestion, made in his last an
nual message, that the revenues
of the government exceeded its
actual needs and that Legislative
action should be taken to relieve
the people from the unnecessary
burden of taxation.
In regard to the tariff, he han.
dies the subject as dextrously as
any of the professional political
jugglers. He wants our revenue
laws revised, so that the receipts
of the government shall be reduc-
ed to the necessary expense of its
economical administration. The
poor man in his humble home is
trea' adop'e- srasable platitude
