ARTICLES Of Incorporation or The
Springfield, Sedalia, Marshall and
Northwestern Railway company
were filed with the secretary of
state one day last week and certifi-
cate was issued thereon. The capi-
tai stock of the company is l,500,-
600, and it is organized for the pur-
pose of constructing, operating and
maintaining line of standard gauge
railroad from Springfield In north
erIy direction to the town of Miami,
Saline county, a distance of i45
miles. The line Will pass through
the counties of Greene, Dallas,
Hickory, Benton, Pettis and Saline.
SIGNS of prosperity are apparent
on every hand in Charlton county.
Substantial improvements on almost
every farm, attest the thrift and en-
terprise of our farmers, Brush and
brambles have disappeared and acres
of the finest soil reward the indus
try of these sturdy sons of toll. Old
houses and barns have given place
to new ones, worm fences to the
more durable post and wire. In
proved implements of hushandry,
show that manual labor, on the majori-
ty of farms is now directed by
intelligence and skill, and tue result
is that the grand old county is rapid
ly becoming the abode of wealth,
culture and refinement. We are
proud of our county, proud 81
its people, and more especially
proud of the success our farmers
have achieved in the last few years.

THERE is now a movement on foot
which will be of incalculable advan-
tage to tue farmers of Charlton Co.
A Mr.. Andrews, a large cattle owner
of Western Texas, was in st. LOUIS
last week representing a syndicate
of cattle men IN that state and ives
tern Kansas, and in, conversation
with some business men, in that
city, stated that the syndicate had
just bought 5000 acres in Missouri
to be used as feeding pens for cat
tie, driven in from Texas and Kansas,
| and TO be fattened on ccrn raised in
Missouri. These cattle will be TAX
en- from the range at two years old
and shipped here to be fed for Il
year before they are shipped to east-
ern markets. This movement has
been forced upon stockmen by the
recent action of the government ID
e2pelling them from the Cherokee
district, When this plan gets in full
operation it will make Missouri, in
the near future, one of the leading
cattle states In the Union and will no
doubt furnish market for thous-
ands of bushels of corn, much OF
which will have to be grown on the
productive soil of Charlton county

CRowDING THE PUPILS.

1t made no difference that the pu-
pills we're not ready for these higher
branches; that they could not read
or spell, or write a decent letter.
There seemed to be ':eall'' for the
teacher TO cross over into this invit-
ing field of higher education and the
"call" was promptly obeyed. Hence,
the curse of our common school sys-
tenn Is superfcialitY.
All certificates now IN existence
are valid until they expire. Teach
ers are not obliged 10 attend the in
stItutes, but are encouraged TO do so,
especially If inexperienced or incom-
petent. But teachers are obliged to
take their examination from this un-
biased, competent board of examin-
ers, unless prevented from doing SO
by good and sufficient reasons, in
which case the county commissioner
grants an examination and forward:
the manuscripts to the conductor OF
the last institute for examination.

Dried Buffalo Triple.

Recently a gentleman from Cold

Whitehall street, when he spied q
string Of sponges hanging upin front
of a big grocery store.
"What is them 'ere?' he asked Of

Light in Colonial Times.

From the New England Magazine
By a law of William and Mary,
passed in 1890, every householder
who resided in certain parishes, or IN
the city of Westminster, whose house
adjoined or was near the street,
ssfrom Michaelmas unto Onr Lady's
Day yearly, shall every night set or
hang out candles or lights in Ian
thorns on the outside of the house
next the street, to enlighten the same
for the convenience of passengers,
from time to time. as it shall grow
dark until IL of the clock in the night,
upon the pain to forfeit the sum OF
two shillings for every default" AT
rangements might, however, be made
with two or more justices OF the
peace for the establishment of lamps
in the streets at certain intervals.
This law seems to have prompted
similar legislations in the town OF
New York, in 1897, in an order re-
curing every seventh house to hang
out a lamp upon pole. New York
thus antedates all other American
towns in this respect by nearly sixty
years.
The next town in order of time,
and the first in New England, is New
port. Here, however, street lamps
were hung out of shop windows and
houses, and this was due to private
enterprise. In 1751 the town petit
toned the General Assembly OF
Rhode Island to pass law for the
protection of these lamps, as willful
and malicious persons would often
break them.

Killing Rats BY Electricity.

Victor Poissant, a young electrician,
of Omaha, has very ingenious way
of killing rats. The prying rodent is
caught in an ordinary royaltrap, the
bottom of which is covered with tin.
Mr.. Poissant has a small dynamo of
his own manufacture. One wire, con-
Meeting with the dynamo, is fastened.
to the tin lining of the trap, and an
other is thrust into the prisoners
cell. The we'll known propensity ola,
Gagged rat to do battle asserts itself,
and he siezes the wire BETWEEN his,
teeth. In SO doing he makes the mis-
take of his life. The circuit is COM
plete, his jaws close on the wire with.
a death grip, and without squeak
and almost without culver he pass
es into state of eternal desuetude.

This made total of 1,417 delegates,
representing thirty-three states and
three territories. The report was re-
ceived with cheers and adopted without
debate.
The committee on permanent organi
cation made the following report:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW DELE
GATES OF THE NATIONAL UNION Con-
FERENcE-Your committee beg leave to
report the following names of officers
of the permanent organization:
For Chairman, Hon. w. A. PETER, of
Kansas.
For Vice Presidents, Hon. G. Della
mater, of Ohio; Gen. j. Il. Weaver, of
Iowa; Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, of Min
nesota; Hon. John H. Powers, of Ne
braska; Hon. Hugh Cavanaugh, of Ohio;
Hon. R. M. Humphrey. of Texas.
For chief secretary, w. S. Morgan, Of
Arkansas
For assistant secretary-S. F. Hinton,
of Illinois; Charles Culmore, w. H.
RABBI w. c. Crum, New York; Edwin
Thornton. Mrs. Fannie Mccormick,
Mrs. G. Curtis, of Colorado; Helen M.
Cougar, Indiana.
Helen M. Cougar took the stage and
repudiated the use of her name as one
of the secretaries of the convention.
She said while she was in deep sympa-
thy with the farmers and working men,
she would not serve on account of the
president of a local committee being an
officer of the saloon-keepers' associa-
ton.
At the conclusion of this diversion in
the work of the conference Senator
PETER, permanent chairman of the con-
vention was called to preside He was
received with loud cheers, and made a
short address.
Just as Senator PETER finished, Mr..
Vincent of Kansas, stepped to the
front with basket or flowers in his
hand and introduced Mrs. Marion Todd,
OF Michigan. to present them to the
presiding officer
The report of the committee on rules
and order of business was next consid-
cred, and it was on this that the first
skirmish between the radicals and con-
servatives took place.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-To be called
upon to preside over a party like this,
called together not only under circum-
stances unusual, but altogether extra
ordinary and peculiar, is distinguished
honor This meeting of the people
ought to be regarded as one of the most
important semblages ever convened
upon American soil. Applause.
We are upon the eve of an election
more important to the interests of the
people of this country, and to the en-
tire world. men and women, than any
that has been brought together during
this century. We have before us a
power that has conquered every nation
which has gone down in the records OF
history.
We are here to take hold of, and to
undermine and dispose of, a power that
is crushing the people, not only in
America, but all over the world. TAP
plause.
1t is the power that has it's hands not
only upon your home and mine, but
those of at least fifty per cent. of the
working people of the entire world.
and we are assembled here to devise
some means and we are united in that
the money power must be dethroned
Applause
The people are here and the power of
ho voaOv,1o Sc 1s1,o 1o of
lanche, which gathers strength as it
glides clown the mountain sides and
sweeps down everything in its way.
CHEERS and applause.
Now, gentlemen and ladies, permit
me to give you word of encourage.
ment and word of caution. We have
started and there is no such thing as
stopping us Ia voice: That's i'll, and the
right thing to do is to keep in the mid
die of the road Applause. A voice:
That's right, and to go ahead More
applause.
This is not the party of the democrats
or of the republicans; it is the party of
the people. [Cheers and applause We
have the voters; we have the brains, and
we have got the courage. Applause.
Now, then, let me tell you a little
story. Some of you, and especially the
Kansas people, remember James H.
Lane, of Leavenworth, Kan. When
the boys went to war they wanted to
have cavalry-they insisted upon organ.
izing cavalry regiment, and they did
not want to enlist unless they were on
horses. Well. Lane wanted to organize
an infantry regiment, for they did not
have money enough to buy horses,
and he said: 81 will tell you what we
will do, we will start out infantry and
we will come back cavalry" Laughter,
cheers and applause.] To-day we will
start out as infantry; next year we will
come back as cavalry. CHEERS
Now to do that-which is inevitable
la voice, amen" let's see that the
way is made perfectly clear for the
birth of Eli.
When the people send up their regu
lar representatives to give us our stand
ard bearers, if we do not capture this
country in 1892, we will be like Jim
Robinson when he had told the boys he
could jump forty-6ve feet, he said he
could jump very near it. [Cheers
l wish to thank you profoundly for
your consideration; I am not as strong
as when was younger, but if you will
help me, l will manage to get through
with this work to the very best of my
ability. [Cheers and applause
