Missouri Bankers.


The Missouri Bankers association
met at Lebanon. Routine business was
transacted, and plans for the future
benefit of the bankers were discussed.
John c. Russell, of st. Louis in an ad-
dress, said:
Farmers should have just taxation, SO
should bankers. We have no right to ask
Tor law to let US put in our properly at
forty cents. The farmers are experiment
ing, but they are advancing One OF the o.
tects of our organization is to see that Its
rights are protected, just the farmer Is
seeking to do. We want to put our rights in
such light that they will be granted. we
can not go before the boards to ask them to
do something dishonest. If the property OF
the state was put at double its present vaiu-
alton we would have only to pay half the
taxes we now pay. The way to get relief Is
to see that all property is taxed like ours.
We all get poor when the assessor comes
around. If we are all assessed alike, we VIII

Missouri Girls Sad Ending.
Rose Hayden left a comfortable home
at Little Blue, jackson county, few
months ago to visit friends in Denver,
Col. She was of good parentage, and
well raised. She was only 10, pretty,
and it was not long until she had
lover in Denver. She married without
her parents consent, as the story
goes, and in short time she began to
repent. Her husband deserted her, ard
then the next chapter of her life was
dark, filed with pitfalls, and she trod
the path that led lowell, places where
good people shun and sin is queen. The
other morning she remarked to a COM
panion: ''Well, there's morphine, here's
beer; don't know which to take to do
me the most good" Three hours later
she was dead. She took the morphine.

firm and straight as long as the pickets
will last and new pickets can be inserted
as the old ones decay. The best quality

is estimated to have a tensile strength Of
800 to 1000 pounds to each single wire,

one at the top, one at the bottom, and
one In the middle Of the pickets, 1t can
be built at q cost Of 30 per rod for the
wire. 1t makes a fence strong enough
to resist the strongest animals and
the hardest winds, and also TO turn the
smallest without any danger Of injury to
stock. An attachment has recently been
added to the Garrett fence machine by
which fence can be made Of short and

AHEAD OF SOLOMON.
The Sultan of Turkey Is the Possessor
OF Eleven T. undred Wives.
Chicago Evening Post.


There is pretty general belief in this
world that Solomon was the king bee po-
lygamist known to history According to

terateur, who recently returned from
a visit to Turkey, the sultan can see
Solomon with his zoo wives and 900

prove startling to many" Mr.
Valentine remarked over his breakfast cof-
fee at the Richelieu this morning, "but I
have it from such high authority as to
leave no doubt of its authenticity in my
mind that the sultan is the proud possessor
of 1,100 wives. OF course this number,
owing to deaths, sales, purchases, etc,
fiuctuates tribe during the year, but the
balance is above, quite as frequently If not
more, than it is below, so that ,l00may be
said to be conservative average.
at is also fact" Mr.. Valentine con-
tinued, as he pushed his cup away, lit a
cigar and leaned back in his chair, ''it is
also fact that in the harem of the sultan
there are a considerable number of French
and English women: as to an American
element | can't say. The agents of the sui
tan are in the capitals of the continent con-
stantly looking out for recruits to their SOW
ereign's household And life in the royal
harem is one which has many temptations
for woman without means, but possessing
a strong desire for ease and luxury. As a
member of the harem she will have slaves
10 wait on her, and, save being denied Wis
its from the opposite sex, she may enjoy
herself pretty much as her fancy dictates.
Moreover, once entering the harem does
not necessarily imply that she must al
ways remain member, for should she ex-
press a wish TO be released il is more than
likely, particularly so if she be foreigner,
her wish will be granted.
at not infrequently happens that the
recruits sent by the sultan's orders fail 10

and when such is the case they remain

she changes places with member

JAPANESE COSTUME.
The Picturesque Dress OF Ancient Times
Being Modified.
yokoharna Nfpton

During the absence of Iwakura and his
mission to Europe, General Saigo and
other leading men incurred in no small
degree the disapproval of their colleagues
in consequence Of their decision to substi-
tute for the national costume of the coun-
try the style of clothing worn by Euro
peans and Americans. Count Inouye also,
during his tenure of Office as min
lister of foreign affairs, showed his
leaning towards alteration in our
manners and customs, and advocated
the adoption of the foreign system.
Whether Count Inouye and General Saigo
were actuated by a similar motive, we are
not in position to say, but we fancy that
the latter and other army men were
guided by the evident superiority of short
sleeves and narrow trousers from mill
tary point of view. which in their eyes was
of more moment than the require
ments of civil etiquette and ceremonies.
Undoubtedly foreign dress Is especially
suited to the soldier. offering, as it does,
every facility for prompt and rapid move
ment, but this recommendation can
have little effect in respect of court
ceremonies. We cannot blame military
their particular standpoint, though IT
may be suggested that their civil
subordinates should have laid be-
fore them the other side of the
case. These same civil officers, however,
having no doubt heard how Ikeda Chi
kugo-no-Kami and his attendants were in
convenienced in their movements about
Paris by their adherence to the japanese
fashion, and how embarrassed the present
Count Katsu was when he had to sit down
at table III foreign steamer in his ceremo-
NAL dress. were probably themselves most
strongly impressed By a sense of the
unntness for modern conditions OF the
dress of the Tokugawa period. Though
foreign costume has since been formally
declared the officin dress, and has been
worn without remark. style of attire
which seems highly suitable to ceremonial
occasions has s adually come into use
within the last twenty years. We mean
the haori and hakama. This was the COS
tune ordinarily worn by the better classes,
and allowable also on the part OF farmers
and other civilians, under the Toku-
gawas, but the cut of the hakama
has been greatly improved. and the
color of the haori definitely settled since
the restoration. In its present form the
dress has an agreeable and dignihed ap-
pearance, and as il is fitted to the habits
and customs of our countrymen, and COM
bines elegance with convenience, we hope
to see its use become even more general.
1t is not surprising to find that many per-
sons object to the regulations of the diet
which prescribe evening dress for ceremon-
ial occasions and ordinary European dress
at other times, and are agitating for the
adoption of the haori and kakama.
