The minimum number which can con-
stitute company at the time of its mus
term is forty. The size of Company D
will probably be fifty. The muster-in is
likely to take place ever so soon. The
formation of this company is the out
growth ST the disarmament of the Abilene
company. That disarmament took place
on the 81 of last month, and was the re-
suit of disagreement upon the part OF
its commissioned officers. The company
at this place will receive the uniforms,
arms and accoutrements which we're de-
signed for the Abilene company. The
uniforms had not been used, and are,
therefore, as new and neat as ever.
We notice the name OF no Union vet
eran on the roster of this company. This
is all right. They have earned from
military activity all the rest they want.

Senator Vest.
From the Pennington Times.

FROM me + aTiilisioii iIiilfS.
Senator Vest is making a gallant
fight in the Senate against the Re
publican high tariff bill. The Re
publican party is deeply indebted
to the tariff barons for 'boodle''
furnished in the recent campaign
and they are trying to pay the
debt by increasing the power of the
barons to rob the people; but
though the bill may pass the Senate
it will be checked in the present
House, and the outrage will he lief
for the next Congress to force
through, when both branches viii
be Republican. The Republican
party is owned body and soul by
the corporations, and it will have
to obey It's masters.

We see it stated in the Scientific

communicated from cats, in
Melbourne, Australia, to a number
of persons. Petting cats is not a
very safe indulgence, because OF
this ascertained fact; and it may
be that pets of ether kinds have
been the means OF communicating
disease. Kissing Of it has to be
done, and fondling had better be

The people of Mexico have not
learned the value to the city of the
annual State trot," said W. r..
Carter this morning. "Last year,
there was some complaint that the
races of the younger class we're I'M
interesting. Possibly some o them
were little slow, but The best events
of the last meeting were association
trots. And more than this, these
young horses + put on the track
here long before the fair begins and
of course their trainers and owners
are here; the fair association makes
money by their presence and the
merchants enjoy the patronage of
the men, Next year, twice as many
horses will be here and the meet
ing will be a grand one"

The Reason.

Why 1. W. Harper's Nelson
County Whiskey is preferred above
all other brands is because it is the
most regular and most perfect
product, incontestably ever made.
A long experience in the manufac-
ture of the Harper, the large capital
of the dlstiller which enables him
to hold his whiskey until 1t has
fully matured, together with the
fact that the whiskey is brought by
and shipped to US direct frem the
distillery accounts for the unvary-
ing satisfaction it has given those
best educated to a fine whiskey.

Resolutions Favorlng 1t Passed

ers' annual meeting was brought to
a close with a grand banquet at the
Ringo Friday night. Before the ban
quet, Il large audience, including
the members of the association,
was entertained in a creditable
manner by literary exercises, I'M
der the direction Of superintendent
D. A. Mcmillan.
At the afternoon session Thurs
day,, considerable interest was man
ifested in the question of compul-
sorry education and the following
resolutions were adopted
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
WHEREAS, The public schools
exist not by liberation, but as Il
constitutional right;
WHEREAS, the highest judicial
authorities in various states have
declared that education is one of
the ''necessaries" in the mainte-
nance of children;
WHEREAS, Thousands of the
children of Missouri annually are
denied by ignorant or avaricious
parents or guardians, this legal in
disputable right to the precious
boon Of education; therefore, be 1t
Resolred, As the sense of the
Northeast Missouri Teachers As
sociation, that the Legislature
should at once enact a local OPP
ton" law, with provisions for the
appointment of truant officers, en-
forcing, under legal penalties, the
compulsory attendance of all chill
dren, between the ages of 8 and IA
years, upon son4e school for five
months in each year, of which two
months shall be consecutive; be il
Resolved, that it is the sense OF
the Northeast Missouri Teachers
Association that the Legislature
should pass general laws forbiddins
the employment, in mechanical
manufacturing, or mercantile estab.
!, lishments, Of any child under the
, age of ten years; forbidding the
employment during school-hour.
of all children between the ages .
ten and fourteen years inclusive, il
such establishments, unless sal,
children shall present certificate,
OF attendance upon some schoo.
for at least five months during ths
: previous school-year; that sale
, laws shall be enforced by fine, o.
E imprisonment, or both, of parents
l guardians and employers, violating
the provisions of such laws.
1 These resolution were proposed
t by Prof. H. w. Prentiss, of St
/ Louis, and advocated by him ane
9 DR.. Laws. The debate was mos
animated and interesting, the OPP
position being led by Prof. Blan
ton, President of the State Normal
at Kirksville, who denounced il
strong and vigorous terms The prin
t ciple involved. He argued tina
compulsory education was antag
onistic to the spirit of our republi
can institutions, and that sucl
measures could only prevail an
be enforced in governments such a
Prussia and Russia, where pattern
: alism and despotism was the domi
nant ideas. He argued that tn
authority Of the parent shout
not be overthown that the famil
} was the greatest power in u civil
" ization, and that when its sanctit,
, was invaded, an attack was mad
on the creates. bulwark Of our ire
