Cam Sneed an the CanifaI

Yesterdays St. Lonis Republic has
the following in its Jefferson City
correspondence:
Mr.. r. c. Sneed of Sedalia is here
in the interest of a bill to regulate
building and loan associations. He
rightly argues that the needed legis-
lation in this direction should eman-
ate from the friends of the societies,
who are best abe to indicate by their
own experience the course to be pur-
sued. Mr.. Sneed is of opinion that
the law should provide for an ex-
aminer and that his duties should b.
for the protection of stockholders and
also for the protection of Legitimate
associations against the Entertainments
of wildcats. He has consulted with
the leading officers of building associ-
atoms in St. Louis and believes he is
now familiar with their wishes and
needs. The proposed law will en-
deavor, also, to secure uniformity in
the semi-annual statements now re-
auired by law 10 be made.

DROPPED DEAD.
Such Was the Fate of Mrs
Sophia Siebe.

At 8 o'clock last night as John w.
Siebe was standing in his saloon, cor
ner Main and Kentucky streets, he
heard a noise in a room overhead as
though some one had fallen to the
floor. Hurrying up the stairway he
was startled upon entering room, to
find his wife lying stretched insensi-
BILE upon the floor. He spoke to her,
but her lips could make no answer.
He then raised her up tenderly
and found that life was
extinct. She had died of heart dis
ease, without a moments warning.
Mrs. Siebe wss native of Prussia,
where she was born sixty-four years
ago, and with her husband had re-
sided in Sedalis since 1866. Her
children are Willie; Henry Siebe, of
Pueblo, Colorado; and Mrs. Fred
Heuerman, Mrs. Syringe and Mrs.
Jarnette of this city.
Deceased was a highly esteemed
woman and her large circle of friends
in Sedslia will be sadly shocked to
hear of her sudden death.
Her funeral will probably take
place Tuesday.

A Generous Captnin.

The Hannibal Post says that G. T.
Stanley, Of lakewood has received a
clipping from Virginia paper which
states that Capt. Allen of the confed.
crate service, who is a wealthy man,
will give each of his soldiers who lost
a limb ia the service 400, and those
MANNED in less degree $50. Mr..
Stanley was with Capt. Allen and
had his left hand shot and permanent.

THE WORLDS BABIES.
rhe Cradles of a Single Year Would Enclr
Gle the Earth.


1t has been computed that between
born in the world each year. The
rate of production is, therefore,
about seventy per minute, or rather
more than one every beat Of
the clock. With the one-a-moment cal
culation every newspaper reader is
familiar, but it is not every one who
stops to calculate what this means when
1t comes to years supply. 1t will,
therefore. probably startle good many
persons to find on the authority of q
well-known hospital writer that, could
the infants of year be ranged in line
in cradles, the cradles would be over
flowing and at the same time extend
around the globe. We have the ingeni-
Gus conclusion also that, supposing the
little ones grow up, and the sexes be
equally divided, we would have an army
100 times larger than that of Great
Britain and a wife for each soldier be-
sides
The same writer looks at the matter
in still more picturesque light He
imagines the babies being carried past
given point in Their mothers arms, one
by one, and the procession being kept
up night and day until the last conner in
the twelfth month had passed by. A
sufficiently liberal rate is allowed, but
even in going past at the liberal rate of
twenty a minute the reviewer at his
post would only have seen the sixth
part of this infantile host after they had
been passing him at the rate of !, 200 an
hour during the entire year! In other
words, the babe that had to be carried
when the tramp began would be able to
walk when but mere fraction of it's
comrades had reached the reviewers
post and when the years supply of
babies was drawing to a close there
would be rear guard, not of infants,
but of romping six-year-old boys and
girls-St Louis Globe-Democrat

A Mistake.

The Sedal;a BAzoo is hopping onto
all the shows that show at Woods
opera house, just because Mr.. Woods,
proprietor of Woods opera house,
didn't advertise in the BAz ,o.-BoOu-
vile Star.
The BAzoo don't shop on" to all
the shows. The BAzoo criticizes the
sho WIS as their merits deserve and
because this paper will not endorse
and applaud everything that Wood
puts on the boards, he Wood, would
not advertise in the BAzoo, unless it
would insert the advertising for less
than one half, it has been receiving
for similar advertising for years. The
BAzoo is not particular about this
business. 1t can do without the pit
lance Wood waDts to pay for his work,
better th4n the opera house can get
along without the BAzoo, which is
read by thousands of people every
day.

I've seen the shadow, grief,
The withered autumn leaf,
The frosted harvest sheaf,
And loss and pain.
I've felt the cruel dart,
arrangements keenest smart.
And arrows in the heart,
Time and again.
The world could give no aid
Nor drive away the shade
OF sadness deeply laid
My soul within,
But thicker still the gloom
Gathered about the room,
My days were days of doom
And dark as sin.
But when to God / cried,
"Eather, be pacified,
Cease, for the Son who died,
To sEite me So"
The joy of peace beamed fair,
Love fingered everywhere,
Angels were Ia the air
And no more woe.

Is follows:
Four to six fish from two to three
hches long should have not less than
hree gallons of water but the
usnity for any given number depends
pom their treatment, temperature of
he room, amount of sunlight, and
hove all the presence or absence of
plant life. Common waier-moss or
Jay other plant which will live in still
water, serves valuable purpose in the
aquarium, in that it supplies the fish
With oxygen, and affords breeding
blaze for insects. Sand for bedding
Be plants is Objectionable, because it
atches all dead organic matter and
Don commences to discharge foul and
poisonous gases. 1t will suffice to
lnchor the plant by a stone (the
ougher the better tied loosely near the
loot of the plant with a strip of soft
cotton cloth. Feed but very little.
Goldfish are easily killed by over
kindness, and will suffer far less from
, week of starvation than from one
Instance of overlooking. If each fish
gets a nibble every day it will be suf.
fcent. Flies, boiled rice, crumbs of
crackers or wheat bread. prepared
|6sh-food, etc., are recommended. On
no account put in more food than the
fish will consume at once. Feed In
|che morning. IF balance between
the plant and animal life is once es-
tablished, it will not be necessary to
change the water more frequently
than two or three times a year |;
otherwise, close attention must be
paid to the behavior of the fish, and
fresh water given as they may require
|it, which will be indicated by their
coming to the surface and exhibiting
signs of distress. Never handle the
fish when it can be avoided. If
necessary to do so, use small muslin
net. Give the aquarium the same
exposure of temperature and sunlight
as required by ordinary house plants.

THE SHADOW LIFTED.

BY GEORGE W FERREL.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1891-10-02

A new use has been found for tubes
produced by the Mannesmann process.
AT the funeral of Count Won Moltke
the troops were equipped for the first
time with lances the shafts of which,
instead of being of wood, as usual,
were formed of very thin steel tubing,
made at the Mannesmann works. The
new process enables tubes to be rolled
to such n degree of thinness that the
shafts are actually lighter than wood,
while at the same time possessing much
greater elasticity and strength.
The only drawback appears to be the
less secure grip which the metal surface
offers as compared with wood but this
can be overcome, it is said by winding
thin strip OF textile material around
the shaft at the point where it is
grasped AS soon as the question Of
price is satisfactorily settled, the sub
stitution of steel for wood will prob
ably be carried out throughout the
army --lronmonger.

considers an essential part of an AIneri-

On his return he again visited Boston
and bethought himself of calling at a

on his former visit. In answer to his

the family for many years, came to the
door himself. sis Mrs. B. inT' said
