Great change in climate.

There is no questioning the fact that
the climate of this country has under
gone remarkable change in the last
half century, l have noticed the
changes with increasing interest each
year. The weather of this section is
not as even and certain MS it was when
/ was boy. The summers are cooler
and the winters are gradually growing
longer. Spring and fall, as marked
and distinct seasons, have almost dis
appeared. The only explanation
know OF for this remarkable climatic
revolution is the thinning out of the
timber, the construction of railroads

trivances which have tendency to dis

sentiments are about as follows:
"What we want" he said, sis to SEE
the university placed where it will be
a university. We are tired Of seeing
it used as high school principally for
Columbia and Boone eJuaty. We
think that it ought to be a credit to
Missouri, as Ann Harbor college is to
Michigan, and the only way to make
it such is to take it away from Boone
county. We are not ia king so much
for Clinton as we are to put it else
where than Columbia. Ii st. Louis

there; if Sedalia is the proper site let
the state locate it there, or in fact any
other god place will suit southwest

take has been made. But for good.

the state board of agriculture has
been issued. As required by law 30
copies have been sent to each of the
county clerks of the state, and 80 ad

bers OF the general assembly for distri-
button to the farmers of their respec-
tive counties. The remainder of the
20, 900 copies will be distributed
among those who shall request them
The volume comprises 800 pages
and contains a large amount of agri
cultural information of value to the
Missouri farmer and home seekers of
other states. 1t includes extended
crop and live stock statistics. Mete
geological dat, reports and articles
on animal diseases, stock feeding,
horticulture, dairying, horse breeding,
bee keeping, poultry raising, etc.
The St. Joseph News puts it thus
mildly: 1.-The story that the Blaine
Club delegates from St. Joseph bad
been thrown out at Sedalia is not
true. All delegates were admitted.
A proposition to throw out the Blaine
Club delegates on the ground that the
club had been organized by boilers
from the Lincoln Club, was made, but
such course was objected to by tine
Llncoln Club delegates. There was
no i'll feeling between the Lincoln
Club and the Baine Club delegates.
1t is true that the Blaine men had Sc
lected Colonel Dawes as delegate at
large to the Buffalo convention and
jor Bittinger and Mr.. Getchell as
district delegates to the Buffalo con-
veniion, but the Lincoln Club dele |
gates suggested other gentlemen, and
they we're chosen without opposition. |
To show that there was no row in the |
delegation it is only necessary to state
that member of the executive COM
mittee and an alternate, who had
been supporters of the Blaine Club
delegates, we're nominated by the
Lincoln Club delegates. The Lincoln
Club men, with the support of the
county delegate, had. a majority Of
he district delegation and could have
eft the other fellows out in the cold,
but they didn't do it. The sentiment
prevailed that bossism ought to be sat
Town upon, and it was. The leaders
# the st. Joseph factions, Major Bit
niger and Colonel Beach, had abso-
utely nothing to say about the final
md most important work of the |

The tendency Of this disease toward

La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber

cure of sewers colds. This Remedy
efectually counteracts the tendency
OF the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among
the many thousands who have used
this remedy during tine epidemics Of
