FRIDAY. DEC. 10 1890.
More water and means of
getting it to the highest building
in the city have become necessity
in Kirksvillt.
Had the county records
been destroyed in the fire of Sat-
urdsy morning, the county would
have suffered an irreparable loss,
--kirksville has the reputa-
tion of being a we'll watered town.
So it is when only horses and men
are to be watered. But when
big fire comes around the supply
is wholly INADEQUATE.
The reapers trust has caus-
cd a great deal of comment
from Democratic sources. 1t is
now believed that reapers and
mowers will be cheaper next year
than at any preceding time.
The treasurer of Boone
county is said to be short in his &C
counts $4,000 to $4,000. His
bondsmen have already arranged a
meeting at which the full amount
will be paid up by them pro rata.
An Apostle of Henry
Georges land theories is prepar-
ing to establish model colony in
Central Africa. 1t strikes us that
a better place than Africa could
not have been chosen for this pur-
pose.
Sitting Bull, who has been
the cause of nearly all the Indian
troubles for many years, was killed
by the Indian police, Monday
morning. 1t was thought his death
would have quieting effect on
the hostiles, but the opposite
seems to have been the case.
1t has been urged that
Kirksville is in need of new fire
engine. We see no necessity for
getting new engine SO long as
she old ore will throw ten times
the amount of water that is avail
able during a fire. We need more
water far worse than we need a
new engine.
The Primary Sunday school
lesson (from kindergarten stand
point), by Miss Anna E. Bryan,
are continued in the December
kindergarten (Chicago), and are
proving to be very popular be-
cause of their practical help in
the difficult undertaking of teach
ing the Sunday school infant
class.
The c. B. & @, Railroad
company has built and equipped
sixty.seven miles of Railroad to
Harney's Peak, S. D., for the es-
pecial purpose of handling the tin
of that region and transporting
supplies to tie miners. Tin plate
companies have been organized in
st. Louis and Chicago, and by the
time the new tariff on tin takes
effect, the tin industries in the
United States will have assumed
magnificent proportions.
In another column is given
short abstract of the business
done at the eYaporator this fall
The amount paid for apples is
large, and when we consider that
the quality of fruit taken by the
evaporator has been permitted to
waste in former years, we begin
to see the benefit of this
new industry. But there is an
other item we wish to refer to
particularly. 1t is the amount
paid for labor. During the short
time that the evaporator was in
operation more than 81, 500, nearly
half AS much as was paid for
fruit, was paid for labor. Enter
prises of this kind make both
town and country prosperous, and
Kirksville should have more of
them.

VIENNA, April 29.-The wife OF
the Shah Of Persia Is now in this
city, whittier she has come TO consult
eminent oculists. She is - years
old and OF n rather delicate form.
She lost her right eye some four
years ago from glaucoma- The dis
ease made its appearance in her left
eye about three months ago and she
was strongly advised TO come to
Europe and obtain the best treat
ment to I've had. She refused TO
make the journey until her sight was
entirely gone. -r
Society is greatly excited over the
circumstances attending the wO-
mans visit When the day for the
operation arrived, the clashing OF
western customs and eastern preju-
dices occasioned several curious
scenes. Three eunuchs Of the lady's
suite insisted on remaining in the
room. and almost assaulted the ocu-
list when he asked the lady to re-
move her veil. The eunuchs pro-
posed that the veil should be cut
around the eye when It was neces-
sary to see that orgar, but nowhere
else The Persian minister and the
eunuchs had to. be removed by
force before the operation could he
proceeded with. TheeunUehs fought
savagely and it will now be their
duty To report to the Shah the in
dignity to which his wife has been
subjected and which, according 10
the Persian law, is punishable by
death. y-,.....s .-rf ~. 'r.

A CooI.headed Captain.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April %
The steamer II. b. Plant, Of the st.
Johns River line, was burned ear
ly this morning in Beresford Lake,
loo miles south Of this city, causing
the loss Of three lives-one pass
enger, John Collins, one deck-hand
and Albert Mallory, a waiter boy,
ali colored. When the alarm was
sounded the entire forward part OF
the vessel was ablaze, and the pass
engers, half dressed, were in n ter
rifle state Of alarm. Some jumped
overheard, and in their fright began
swimming away from the landing.
Captain Hall, with rare presence Of
mind, had the life-boat cast OFF and
held her beside the burning vessel,
revolver in hand. He then called
for the women and children and put
them in first, not letting a man
approach. The captains cOolness
saved the lives Of all. The vessel was
valued at SIS, 900.

A Wife Disposed OF.

Sir George Bowen, the former
governor OF New Zealand, relates
that among the loyal Maori chief:
whom he invited to meet the Duke
o. Edinburgh when the latter visited
the colony, was one Of the signers OF
the treaty at Waitangi in 1910, who
had ever since been a firm friend OF
the English. One Of the Anglican
bishops afterwards said 10 the gov
ernor:
"DO you know sir, the anteceients
Of that old heather ?''
"No, my dear bishop" was the
reply, "but l do know that he
bought 500 Of his clansmen into the
field TO fight for the Queen, so [ in
vited him 10 meet the Queens son. "
"Well," continued the bishop,
"when l first arrived in New Ze-
land, that chief came to me and said
that he had two wives, 50 told him
that he must first persuade one Of
them to return 10 her family. He
said that he feared that would be
difficult; but that he would see what
could be done, and came back to me
in two months. When he returned
he exclaimed; Now, missionary

CHICAGO, April 29.-Today was
comparatively uneventful in the
carpenters' strike, and tonight the
headquarters Of the journeymen
were mCre deserted than at any
time since the movement was in
augurated. This is due to the fact
that the determination to make a

the unremitting measures OF the last
three weeks Unnecessary. The
initial step toward declaring the
strike or had been taken, and many
members Of the new association
think work will lie resumed Friday.
The old Master Carpeuters' Asso-
citation will lie boycOtte,i, but they
are not losing much sleep over the
prospect.

snake having a string around its

reptiles In other peoples boots and
that some lawyer would have the
boy out Of Jail before she would have

announcement this afternoon that
Judge Wallace, OF the United

writ of hdbcas corpus in the case OF
the condemned murderer, William
