A Good Citizen.

W. P. Albert and family have ar
rived from Seneca. Mo-, and will
make Mexico their permanent home.
Mr.. Albert has purchased the john
son property on Promenade street.
This is the elegant brick residence
owned by ''Bricklayer'' Johnson,
Just across the street from J. D.
Tucker. This is a fine piece Of
property and the price paid by Mr..
Albert, which was $4,000, is dirt
cheap. The Seneca Dispatch, speak
ing of this gentleman, says: wv.
P. Albert this week closed up his
store and shipped his large stock of
dry goods, clothing, ETC., to Mexico,
Mo-, where he has rented a large
store-room and will open up bust
on a larger scale than he ever did in
Seneca. He has laid in large sup
plies of goods for his new store, and
will prove a lively competitor to the
old established firms of that city.
Mr.. Albert has been in business in
Seneca for 10 or ID years, and has
sold lots of goods. He is a shrewd
buyer and close seller, and has al
ways carried a good stock, and one
especially well selected to meet the
wants of trade. He has been having
a large trade up to the present time,
and moves to Mexico because in a
place of that size, S,000to 10,000in-
habitants, he will have more room
to extend his business. Mr.. Scion
Wright, who is the best looking
clerk in town, and very popular,
goes with Mr.. Albert to his new To-
cation. Mr.. Albert and family left
yesterday for Mexico, in which
place we hope they will meet all
possible prosperity. They have
large property interests here, and
we may expect that visits from them
to Seneca friends will not be far be-
tween

by a gentleman who had evidently
not forgotten the characteristics o.

the talker and carver on this occa.

was dining.

wish, Mr.. Salisbury"
Mr.. S.-"Any portion but the
neck, please"
Don't like the neck, sir?"
Mr.. S.-"No, sir; not much"
"Why, before my wife and were

A CALAMITY.
Is Missouri's University to be Saeri.
feed to Seltishnesse

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, Feb. 22-
The destruction by fire of $500, 900
worth of State Uniyersity's property
at Columbia, was insignificant COM
pared to the calamity that is almost
certain to be the result of the mig
gardly attitude to this educational
institution. The buildings and
libraries can be replaced with the
aid of money, but when the State
pride in the university reaches the
low tide which seems to pervade our
Legislature, there is more cause for
regret that the obstructionist legisla-
tors were not also blotted out with
the burning of the property at Col
umbia.
While there may be serious OBJ
jections to rebuilding in hat town,
they are not of a character to war
rant the determined effort now being
made to remove it to some other
town, and failing to do so, to pre-
vent the appropriation of an ade-
lquate sum of money to again place
the university on a substantial basis.
The attitude of these obstruction
lists is shameful, and no excuse will
p%alliate the wrong that has already
been done to Missouri's university.
The very fact that the State bubbles
over what ought to. be the first and
earnest duty of the Legislature to-
ward this educational institution,
will shake confidence in its stability
and cause it irreparable Injury all
over the United States.
The dog-in-the-manger policy OF
many Missourians gives the lie to
grand old Missouri" One of the
chief objections to appropriating
money,for the work of rebuilding is
that the university is only of benefit
to the richer classes. These narrow
sighted Missourians do not recog-
nize that while it is Missouri's uni
! versity, that like Ann Arbor, Yale,
Harvard and many other universe
ties, it can only be maintained and
extended by making it such a mag
nificent institution that it will at
tract students from every State in
the Union.
Governor David R. Francis feels
keenly the jeopardy that besets the
university. Perhaps it, more than
any other State institution, has been
the pride of his executive response
bilities. However, he does not by
any means despair of the Legisla-
lures finally meeting the question
squarely and voting an appropria'
ton adequate for the prompt rebuild,
| ing and epuipping of the university.
