Come to Missouri. Reports
from all over the state are to the
effect that prices in farm lands are
looking up. Those who have set
tied among US within the past few
years have been literally rewarded
by bountiful crops, and have writ
ten back to their friends in the
East telling them of their bright
prospects in the future. And
when the home seekers of the
East once realize the advantages
our grand state has to offer, her
great resources and superior civ
lllzation, her lands will be still
more cage rly sought. Our people
are hospitable, cultured and high
ly intelligent, while in lands and
mines we do not know the magni-
tude OF our possessions. But we
want more people, such as are will
ing to aid in developing our wealth
and earning share of our pros
perity. To all such people Mis-
souri, extends hearty welcome,
and assures them health, wealth
and prosperity.-Ralls Go. Record.

Prof.C. G. Blake, the Topeka
weather prophet, has the following
regarding the weather for Novem-
ber: "Noyember, 1889, will be cold
er than usual for that month.
There will be moderate precipita-
tions, and in the more northern
states much of it will be in the
form of snow. The precipitation in
the far west and northwest will be
small increasing toward the south
and east; though it will not be ex-
cessive in any part Of the country
except in few spots near the coast.
After the cold spell in the first
half of the month it will moderate
for a few days, and then turn col d
again. By cold weather, it is intend :
I'd to say that it will be cold and
= aw for the month-not cold win
ter weather"

Hoboken's Mass Meeting to Aid Johns
towns Sufferers Was Rather Lively.

AoDOkenss MASS meeting TO A1O OOnnS-
towns Sufferers Was Rather Lively.
About thirty citizens comprised a
mass" meeting for the flood sufferers at the
City Hall of Hoboken last night. and even
with that small number the meeting was
very inharmonious. Mayor Grassmann
called the meeting to order. Ex-Mayor
Thinker was nominated for chairman, but
he declined in favor of the Mayor.
Colonel b. f. Hart then proposed that q
committee of twenty-one, five from each
of the four wards and the Mayor, be APP
pointed to collect subscriptions. The num-
Der was reduced to thirteen and the meet
ing proceeded to business.
EX-Mayor Thinker made q vigorous
TRADE against the Mayor II Council for
appropriating 81, 200 OF the city's money
without in any way advising the tax
payers of their object. He moved, there
fore, that the committee collect 81, 200 n
pay 1t back into the city treasury
The rest of the people present constltu-
ting the mass meeting rose to their feet
and all clamored for the privilege of be-
ing the first to "sit on, Mr.. Thinker.
Councilman Stanton started and every
body in the room said cruel things about
the ex-Mayor. The mass meeting broke
up at half-past ten, having achieved
nothing but the appointment OF the COM
mittee.

station looks like the sidewalk in front Of

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Daddy Nolan" at Jacobs.


Daniel Sully's new play of Daddy
Nolan was presented to a crowded house
at Jacobs Hoboken Theatre yesterday.
The audience seemed to expect an unusu-
ally good entertainment, and judging
from the laughter and frequent applause
they were not disappointed.
The play is a good one, and of that char
acter that will draw and please the masses
very much. There is one characteristic
that is well worth mentioning, and that is
the natural and everyday appearance that
everything about the piece has. There is
nothing strained, nothing dramatic, APP
parently, yet everything is intensely dra-
matte in reality. This popularity, more
than any other one thing, has to do with
the success of the play. The entire comedy
is intended as a picture of honest but
lowly life in New York. The genuine wit
and humor of the dialogue and characters
and situations, and the homely pathos and
brightness of the actors, make the charm
of the play.
In the last act there were some special
ties that were loudly applauded. Mr..
Sully's songs were all well received, and
Mr.. Arnold's dancing brought the house
down. The last act was a very pretty
little bit of stage setting, showing the
East River, Brooklyn Bridge and New
York as seen from Brooklyn Heights.
Saturdays matinee performance is for
the benefit of the Johnstown sufferers.

Some New jersey Enterprises.

The great variety of the enterprises
which have their home in New Jer-
sey is strikingly shown in the schedule
of miscellaneous taxes just sent by
the State Board Of Assessors to the
Comptroller that the taxes for 1889
may be collected. Init are numbered
corporations whose object on this
sphere is to tighten the hours of hui
manity, relieve it's sufferings and
smooth its path in directions not gen
orally suspected.
Who, for instance, would expect to
find Buffalo Bills Wild West Show
on the list? There it is, all the same,
and the Hon. Colonel Cody pays out
of his hard earned money the sum OF
$12 annually to the State of New Jer-
sey, presumably in return for protec-
ton from the cruel nobility of Europe,
whom he entertains.
New Jersey also assists in trying to
navigate the air, to the extent of i'm
posing a tax of $1,000 on a company
which proposes to build an air ship.
1t is also the legal home of big pro-
ducers of glucose, cotton seed oil and
other astonishing transformations.
New Jersey has the company which
run the Broadway horse cars. Dozens
of corporations which are developing
the South conduct operations here, SO
far as paying taxes on capital stock is
concerned, although no one connected
with them may ever have tasted
a~pplejack, except, perhaps, of the
lawyers. A steamboat line between
New York and Albany is known as
the New Jersey Steamboat Company,
and contributes $1,000 a year to New
Jerseys Golfers. John II. Starin, the
eminent New York republican, pre-
fers to pay his transportation COM
pany's taxes to New Jersey instead of
to the Empire State.
These corporations were formed in
this State, of caurse, because their
projectors preferred the New Jersey
corporation law; but they are the
means of adding many thousands of
dollars to the revenue of the State.

Here is a description of a suite of
rooms occupied bya girl OF nine. Her
name | will not give, for it would be
unkind to pillory a child for the sins
of her parents. She has a beautiful
little sitting room in white and gold.
The walls are hung in rose tinted
silks, and special pieces of furniture,
diminutive in size, and including a
small secretary in orInolu with Sevres
plaque, that she may carry on her little
correspondence. Here are toys, the
elegant gifts she receives, and here she
entertains her friends.
Adjoining this room is her bedroom
in satin wood, her brass bed hung with
blue silk curtains. A dressing room
attaches, and in this is the culmina-
ton of luxury. The dressing room is
quite large. The marble bath is set
against the wall. The low marble
basin is supplied with perfumed soaps.
Sponges of all sorts and sizes hang in
racks. Perfumed waters in cut glass
bottles, cold creams, delicate lotions
all find a place. On her bureau are
laid out expensive brushes and combs
in repousse silver and exquisite toilet
bottles and manicure cases in pearl.
In one corner is placed a long cheval
glass that she may contemplate her
skirts and dainty footgear. The i'm
propriety of calling this child's atten-
ton so specifically to the care of her
body is already manifest; one can only
wonder what there can be in reserve
for her when she is grown.

are dumped there, and goodhearted police
men are busy packing them into crates.
The unusual sight Of policemen working
has attracted a crowd of small boys and
girls, and they in their small way are
doing their best.
Sergeant Rathjen had a mouthful Of
nails, and could not speak. In his hand
he clutched a big hammer, with which he
dubbed the poor head of the nail into the
box. The perspiration was rolling down
his nose, but he worked hard and soon
had a goodly number of large boxes
packed securely enough for al ocean
voyage.
Policeman Billy Porter was picking up
armfuls of clothes and dumping them into
the boxes. Judge Michael Meehan was
there too. He worked in q circle of to-
bacco juice, but he was Industrious. He
could not work without his chew.
Roundsman Flattery bossed the job, and
proved invaluable with timely hints ana
suggestions. The crates and boxes will
be shipped away by this afternoon.
