MISSOURI STATE NEWS.



Secretary of State Lesueur has sub
mltted report to the lower house OF
the Legislature in answer to the reso-
luton introduced by Mr.. Dalton asking
for statement of the capital stock OF
all the corporations of the State. The
Secretary has complied with the reso-
luton and the House is -2ow in full
possession of the coveted Information
In his letter accompanying the report
MIR. LeSueur says:
deem it necessary to point OUT that the
reports as to capital stock of railroad com
panies, and those business companies or
EaniEed by Legislative enactment before the
adoption of the general law upon the SUD-
Ject, can not be taken as at all conclusive as
to existent facts, for the reason that there
have been 50 many changes, consultations
and dissolutI0ns not required by law to be
ot record in this office, that the capitallZa-
ton of the companies at this time can
not be aScertained from the BOOKS OF
papers of the department. In examining
the schedules here submitted, it should be
borne in mind that the law does not require
corporations to certify what proportion or
increases of capital stock is paid up; that
only banks and manufacturing and business
associations are required upon their organl-
cation to state the amount of their capital
stock paid up: and that this requirement
has only existed since November /, 1879
The difficulty in the way of finding the real
status of corporations in Missouri arises
from the lack of certain legiSlation-(D leg
islation requiring foreign corporations doing
business in the State to file copies of their
articles or charters with the secretary or
State; (2) legislation requiring all corpora
tons to make stated annual reports, and (3)
Legislation requiring the officers Of corpora
tions which cease to do business to certify
that fact to the Secretary of state.

of corporations gives the following as

Swagger in the Old Days.
From Besant's :sFifty Years Ago:

From Besant's :'Fifty Years Ago: ~.
There is still swagger, even in these
days; cavalry officers in garrison
towns are still supposed to swagger.
Elton boys swagger in their own lit
tie village: undergraduates swagger.
The putting on of "side'by the way,
is a peculiarly modern form of swag-
ger; it is the assumption of certain
qualities and powers which are con-
sidered as; deserving of respect.
Swagger, fifty years ago, was
coa1ser kind Of thing. Officers swag-
gered; men Of rank staggered, gen.
tlemen in military f1ogs-there are
no longer any military frogs
gered in taverns, clubs, and in the
Streets The adoption ofquiet NAM
ners; the wearing of rank with unob
trusive dignity; the possession of
wealth without ostentation; of wit
without the desire to be always show
ing it-these are points in which we
are decidedly in advance ofour fathers
There was a great deal of cuff and
collar, stock and breastpin about
the young fellows of the day. They
We're oppressive in their gallantry;
in public places they asserted them-
selves; they We're loud in their talk.

A Bit of Criminal History.

Sim Coy's new book brings out the
historical fact that the first counter
felt greenback (1S62 series) was
made at Lawrence, in this county,
during that year, by members of the
criminally famous johnson family.
Many thousands of the bills, we're
placed in circulation, people not
dreaming Of a counterfeit, SO early
after the first appearance of the bill,
and besides the stirring events OF the
war largely diverted their attention
from business matters.
Pete. Mccartney was the financial
hacker of the Johnsons, and after the
plate had been worked the Johnsons
attempted to unload Mccartney,
but his suspicious being aroused he
stole the plate and caused it to be
electrotyped, after which it was
returned to it's old hiding place. The
electrotype was a marked improve
ment on the original counterfeit, and
Mccartney worked off his series in
this city, and over 100000 Of the
spurious stuff were readily placed in
circulation. Meanwhile the secret
service officers, led by Mai. Wood,
had been apprised of the counterfeit,
and were laying for the Johnsons and
Mccartney. Instead of tracking the
latter to hisrooms, where the printing
was going on, Mccartney was ar
rested at the postoft1ce, and in a few
days, in company with the J ohnsons,
who had been found at Lawrence, he
was forwarded under strong escort
to the military prison at W ashington.
While the train was crossing the
mountains, although Mccartney
was handcuffed and shackled at the
time, he managed to make his escape,
and in two weeks he was back again
in this city, secured possession of
his electrotype and disappeared. 1t
cost the government a great many
thousands of dollars before the
officers again laid hands on him.
Meanwhile the Johnsons succeeded
in making terms, by which they es-
capped prosecution by turning up the
original plate and giving the officers
certain pointers with reference to-
other offenders. Neither the John
sons nor the government knew until
long afterwards that Mccartney had
an electrotype, and had stolen a
march on his former associates.

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
Why Camp Poplar River Has Not Been
A Abandoned AS an Army Post

Why Camp Poplar River Has Not Boon
Abandoned an Army Post.
w Washington Special Telegram, Dec. %.
~ mas been something Of mystery in
some lal quarters why camp Poplar River was
not abandoned and why the Indian agent
NJ mat place insisted to the Indian office
thaS u was necessary to retain the troops in
thaS vicinity in order to prevent disturb
ances among the Indians.
Inc agents recommendation received
favorable consideration by the commits
sioner Of Indian affairs and the secretary Of
the interior. The secretary Of war did not
Wish to withdraw the troop as long as the
branch OF the government having control
OF the Indians felt that it was necessary to
Keep them there. Since it was determined
not to Withdraw the troops it has been
learned why the Indian agent protested
against their removal The captain. who
is now stationed there with two companies
OF infantry. is very much interested
IN Inc matter OF command. He
prefers very much to be COM
maholng officer at some unimportant post
rather Than to be stationed with a good
garrison where he would be subject to a
suPerlor's order. He wants to remain at
Camp Poplar River for this season, and he
and the Indian agent worked together to
retain the troops there; The agent. of
course, is interested in having the troops
retained, because il they should be removed
there would be no society whatever, and it
would probably be the most lonesome place
Tor an Indian agent that there is in the
United States. The Indians are not very
good company, and If the troops are re-
moved that is all the company the agent
would have
or course. there is no danger Of an out
break by these Camp Poplar River Indians,
and If there should be trouble the infantry
troops would not be available but it would
be necessary to have cavalry conn PAM es
sent owe" from Fort Beaufort to take care of
any hostilities ii there ever should be an
emergency. 1t is possible that the war and
interior departm may become aware of
this state OF affairs and decide to abandon
that post. > -
