NissORrii,s Future.

The late census shows that Mis-
souri, has 2,659,741 people This is
al increase of 400, O,G50-abCut % per
cobt-during the last decade. 1t is
fine, healthy growth, and yet it is
not proportionate to the great natur-
al advantages of the state. There
is reason to believe that 1T is not as
great as the percentage OF increase
will be for the next ten years. The
outside world has found out more
about Missouri during the past five
wears than it has ever known before
1t is only hegiDnIng to realize what
great state this is. Missouri has
more natural wealth than any state
m the Union. This reveals itself In
the soil, and is stored up in vast de-
positories under the earth. There
is almost everything in Missouri that
can be found anywhere else In the
country. The state could be walled
in and the people could produce
everything they need. With the
abundance and diversity of its re-
sources it is bound to grow with
great rapidIty when the attractions
which it offers are fully realized.
These are becoming more widely
known every year, and the volume
of immigration will increase accord
iDglY.
The spirit of enterprise and en-
liehtenment is abroad in the land,
and fossilism is retreatlng before
the march of progress. There will
be very little of it left In 1900.
With all that nature has done for
the state, and with what capital and
enterprise Iare doing, Missouri and
Illinois ought to change places when
the next census is taken.-honSdS

Why a Brave Soldier Deserted
from the C0nfedeYat Army.

JFOm INC OUHJ OuOI III army
There was buried at Greenwood
to day man with curious history.
lie had been a Confederate soldier,
as brave as any Of his comrades, but
he deserted his army during the war
and was tried by court martial for
doing so. Edward Cooper was his
name. For he last year he has
been living at $50 Fourth avenue.
One bleak December morning in
1868 he was before court martial of
the army North Virginia. The
prisoner was told to introduce his
witnesses. lie replied, 81 have no
witnesses" Astonished at the
calmness with which he seemed to
be submitting TO his inevitable fate,
Gen. Battle said to him: "Have
you no defense? Is 1t possible that
you abandoned your comrades and
deserted your colors In the presence
of the enemy without reason?"
"There was q reason" replied
Cooper, "but it would not avail me
before a military tribunal"
"Perhsps you are Mistaken"
said the General; ''yOu are charged
with the highest crime known to mil
itary law, and it is your duty 10
make known the causes which in
nuence your actions"
Approaching the president of the
court, Cooper presented a letter,
saying, as he did so: "There, gen.
eral. is what did itr
The letter was offered as the
prisoners defense. 1t was in these
words:

ma. am so hungry" And Lucy, your
darling Lucy she never complains, but
she grows thinner every dav. Before God,
Edward, unless you come home VIC must
dio.'' YoURs MARY.
Turning to the prisoner, Gen. Bat
tie asked: "What did you do when
you received the letter?' Cooper
replied: 81 made application for a
furlough-it was rejected. Again 1
made application, and 1t was reject
ed That night as l wandered about
our camp thinking of my home. the
wild eyes of Lucy looking up to me,
and the burning words of Mary sink
IN my brain, was no longer the
Confederate soldier, but l was the
father Of Lucy and the husband of
Mary.
''If every gun in the battery had
been fired upon me, l would have
passed those lines. When reached
home, Mary flung her arms about
my neck and sobbed: %, my Ed

furlough.' She must have felt me
shudder, for she turned as pale as
death, and catching her breath pt
every word, she said: Have you
come without your furlough? Go

and the children 60 down to The
grave, but, for heavens sake, save
the honor of our name
There was not an officer at the
court martial who did not feel the
force of the prisoners words, but
each in turn pronounced the verdict
guilty. The proceedings of the
court were reviewed by Gen. Lee,
and upon the record was written:

''The finding of the court approved. The

WHILE at Columbia recently Sam
Jones, is speaking of the late war
said: "Take this thing of pensions.
1 told gathering of Union soldiers
not long ago that if We rebels had
known how many of them we had
crippled we would have rallied and
come at them again. 1t they are
swearing the truth now they were
worse whipped thana~e we're" And
if any one would take the tronble
to look over the claims for pensions,
and taking what is alleged and
sworn to as facts, he would wonder
why the Confedcracy did not hold
out few days longer as it appears
that about all the Union men were
either crippled or their health badly
impaired.

1t may be said of this organization for

Il boom, - nor has it had the advantage of
a ''boomer' in pushing its fortunes. 1t
has simply forged ahead Oh the merit of its
location and the advantages it presented to
investors. Its organizers are business men
and the head Of it is the most prominent
man in mercantile and public affairs in our
city, and thus its forward movement has
been guided and steadied by conservatism,
rather than heralded 10y inflated promises
Those of our people who have invested i'll
it have al interest in splendid body of
land, growing in value, which even if left
undeveloped By enterprise would repay them
by its annual increase in value. That is
one advantage, a great advantage of i'll
vesting on the edges of a growing city.
With our railroad connections to every
point of the country, our fruitful back
country, our advantages of advanced civil
lization, Staunton stands on the front line
