r.. T.. McCullOch tells pretty good
one on the subject of painting the
stand pipe. The water company had
known for some time that the pipe
needed painting and had said some
thing about painting it. About this
time two ragged tramps walked into
the office and put in a bid for doing
the work. They proposed to furnish
everything and do the job for 10000.
The proposition was accepted as soon
as made, and they went to devising
means to reach the top of the stand
pipe. BY the use of a sixty-tive foot
ladder and a pole fOrty-fVe feet long
they finally got a rope fastened to
the top Of the pipe and the work of
painting began. Fhe tramp painters
would swing around the iron pipe
over a hundred feet frSm the ground
with, nothing but a slender cord
between themselves and the rocks
below. The outcome was that they
fulfilled their contract directly and
struck out for another town. with
Water-WOrks.

to begin the work as soon as spring
opened, and the people don't under
stand what means the delay. Re
ports have gained circulation that
the enterprise has fallen through, but
such cannot be true. President Nor
ton is not the man to go into con-
tract on his own proposition and then
shuttle out of it. The engineer went
over the two surveys some three
weeks ago, and it is supposed his re-
port had to be submitted to the di-
rectory (Which is now in session in
New York; and preliminaries and
details all settled before commencing

From the Boonville Advertiser.
From what we hear, We imagine
the "London Gaiety Co." that visited
our town this week, is q decidedly
loud affair in the matter of its bills as
well as in IFS performances on the
stage. We are very decidedly of
opinion that some of the displays
made on the stsgc. and the passing up
in public places of pictur Ofan often
sive character should be dealt with as
immoral practices and as amounting to
a nuisance of a ve;y grave character.
From what we have heard, there are
certain show bill. stuck up around
Town now which the mayor, if his
attention were called to them, wonld
order torn down. We are not over
sensitive about such things, but We
do not think our city authorities
ought to tolerate anything that is of
fensive to large and very respect

1t was clearly shown at last nights
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
that the business men of Springfield
are at least interested in the North d
South railroad movement and fully
appreciate its Importance. This Is
not enough, however, to insure the
success of the undertaking. 1t is nec-
esssry that the people in general of
the city should become interested in
tae scheme and for this reason a mass
meeting has been called at the court
house next Friday night. To this
everybody is invited and urged to
attend. To build a railroad by sub
scrip'ion is something not easily done
but it can AID has been accomplished.
1t is hardly necessary to call the
attention of the people to the
advantages of such line. Besides
The direct benefit which will result
from better railroad facilities and
rates, it will serve to furnish employ
ment to many and increase the popu-
lation of all cities along the line. It
will cause greater demand for real
estate, which will, in consequence,
command greater value. Thus every
foot of ground in Springfield is inter,
ested in the movement. Let all turn
out Friday night ard have a meeting
which will show 10 our business men
that their efforts are appreciated by
The people Of our city in general.
Dear reader, you are urged to be
present. Give it your moral support.
no matter whether you can subscribe

1t cannot be said that Springfield is
not doing her part in the interests of
the North and South railroad. As
will be seen from the above, the peo-
pc are wide awake to the advantages
to be derived, and Sedalia must not
be one whit behind Springfield 10 this
respect. We need the road as well IS
does Springfield, and every advantage
above is as applicable to
Sedalia as il is TO Springfield.
