to pass the high license bill will
make music in the Democratic
camp when the next campaign
comes on.
With the vast amount of
campaign material that the pres
ent Democratic legislature has
furnished the Republican party,
the Republican majority in Mis-
souri, ought to be at least twenty
thousand at the next election.
"A resolution was adopted In
the House of Representatives. last
Friday, to consider all revisory
bills section by section before
passing them. Some of the bills
contain hundreds of sections and
on this plan it will require a year
to complete the revision of the
statues.
The Missouri river is lower
now than it has been for anumber
Of years in this month. The river
is SO low that the flats and bars
are appearing below the Hannibal
bridge, and navigation even for
the smallest boats is attended with
difficulty. The scarcity of snow
an6 the small rainfall at the head
waters Of e Missouri cause the
low water.
The Quincy Omaha and
Kansas City railway has always
shown very liberal disposition
when dealing with Kirksville.
The recent offer OF this company
to haul the macadam ito be used
on the street running to the o. (.
depot free of charge, is but an
other exhibition of the kindly
feeling and liberal spirit always
shown kirksville by this Com

Now that Mr.. Neal has
withdrawn, We hope that the
President will lose no time in
carrying out the wishes Of the
Republican party of Missouri, by
making the appointment of Mr.,
Kimble to the Western District
attorneyship. The delay in max
ing the appointment has been
great inconvenience to jurors and
witnesses and has cost the people
thousands OF dollars.
The Manufacturers Record
reports that in three weeks fifteen
companies have been organized
TO build cotton mills in various
cities of the southern states. Ala
bama, Georgia and Texas get the
larger number of these mills,
while the others are scattered
through out the South. Every
spindle, loom and furnace opened
in these states, weakens the fabric
known as the Solid South.
There was not single
volume in the Public school library

hundred students have used the
library. Six hundred and fifty
books have been taken out, read

year just closed. The entertain
ment this evening at the Opera
House is for the benifit of the
library and should dreceive liberal
patronage.
II is ported that the st.
Louis, Quin ", Omaha aid Sioux
City line is a certainty. The
distance from 81. Louis to Sioux
City by way of Hannibal, Quincy,
Trenton / Council Bluffs, is five
hundred miles, shorter by ten
miles than any other route. The
only new lines to be constructed ON
this route, will be to fill the gaps
betwee n Hannibal and West Quin-
cy, and fro'a Trenton to Sioux
City. The completion of this line
will in all probability delay the |
construction of the st. Louis and |
Omaha.
