tinguished physician of Columbia
who became the founder of William
Jewell College at Liberty, Missouri.
Gov. Hardin's father was man in
comparatively easy circumstances,
and like most of the early citizens
of Columbia and Boone county, he
was fully alive to the Importance of
education. Indeed, a taste for
mental culture has ever been mark
ed characteristic of the Hardin fam
lily. Having decided to devote him.
self to the legal profession, immedi-
ately after his return to Columbia
he began the study of law under
the late Judge James M. Gordon, a
prominent lawyer of Columbia at
that time. Pursuing his studies
with assiduity under Judge Cor
don in 1843 he was admitted to the
bar, and the same year he located
at Fulton and entered actively upon
the practice of his profession. His
reputation as a lawyer advanced
with steady strides, and in a few
years he came to be recognized as
one of the safe attorneys at the Cal
laway bar. Early in his career at
Fulton, young Hardin was called to
the office of justice. In 1874 he
was married to Miss. Mary B., a
daughter of Theodrick Jinkins, Esq,
a leading farmer and fine stock
raiser of Boone county.
Five years after his admission to
the bar he was elected prosecuting
attorney for the Third Judicial Cir
cult, his term of Office being for a
period of four years. or tolexpire in
1862. 1t is a matter of record that
during his entire four years term nc

against by the court. In 1859 he
was appointed one of the managers

ton, and for twelve years acted as
one of the managers and as secretary
of its board. In 1852, following the
close of his term as prosecuting at.
torney, Mr.. Hardin was elected to
the Legislature from Galloway coun-
|ty. In the Legislature, as jim his
private affairs, industry, economy
and promptitude marked his course.
That his services were appreciated is
attested by the fact that he was re.
turned for the next term, and at the
close Of the session in 1856 was
chosen by the Legislature in connect

OF Pike county, was nominated for
temporary chairman, and Mr.. B. F.
Dobyns, of Audrain, acted as tenn

Retaliation in Force.

The proclamation of the President imposing
a retalatory toll of 90 cents ton on Canadian
produce passing through st. Mary's Falls
Canal was put in operation On Thursday, Sept.
/, smoothly and without friction, and the
Treasury Department officials have received no
advices from Marquette or from any other
point which leads them to anticipate the
slightest trouble. Advance sheets of the report
of the Bureau of Statistics on the internal
commerce of the United States for the past
fiscal year devote considerable attention to the
reinarkab increase of commerce through st.
Mary's Canal, which to-day becomes the sub
ject of the Presidents proclamation with re-
spect to Canadian tolls. The value of that
com merce has increased from $29,000OOO in
1881 to over 1923, 100000 in 1891. During the
season of 225 days, during which the canal re-
manned open in 1891, over 10000 vessels passed
through it, of which number 1900 were
steamers. The precise number of Canadian
vessels is not clearly shown. The shipments
of wheat (including the crop of Manitoba) for
1891 amounted to 3S8l6, 900 bushels, against
l6,2l7,00o bushels in the preceding year.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1892-09-08

There were known TO have been 10 deaths on
board. Before the vessels had time to drop
anchors they were ordered out into the lower
bay TO an anchorage at least eight miles from
any shore.
The Hamburg steamer Moravis entered
quarantine at New York with Asiatic cholera
on board, and % of her Storage passengers
were reported having died on the voyage.
They were buried at sea. The vessel was i'm
msdiatsly sent from the upper to the lower
quarantine and will be kept there until every
known means is employed to stamp ont the
disease.
Strict measures have been adopted at Mon-
treal, Canada. to prevent the evasion ofquaran-
tine, and the cruiser Druid has been ordered to
proceed to Crosse Island, and prevent any
vessels from passing without reporting. IL
resistance be offered. the vessels attempting 10
pass will be fred upon.
Passage through Norfolk and Portsmouth,
Va, has been stopped by Quarantine Oficsr
Thorne, who has issued an order forbidding
the entrance to passage through those ports
OF any immigrants. Police instructions havs
been given, and all trains and steamers viii -
met by detectives.
Gratifying reports are being received rom
st. Petersburg showing q decrease in the raw
ages of the pestilence.
The fresh cases discovered in Hamburg On the

THE CHOLERA.
Progress of the Epidemic During the Past
Week.

The action of President Harrison in issuing
a circular directing that all vessels sailing from
ports of Europe and carrying immigrants to
this country shall be quarsntined for 20 days
has met with the earnest approval of all citi-
zens of this country who have been in dread Of
the possible invasion of this country by cholera.
1t is claimed by many that complete suspen-
sion of all immigration should be effected, but
the President has no power to decree such .
measure and the assembling of Congress in
extra session would involve much delay and
expense. In thus putting on an embargo the
President has caused every intending mmi-
grant TO pause on the shore of Europe. In
giving out the circular Secretary Of the Treas
ury Foster added the statement that it would
be well for the public to know that the State
authorities and the steamship companies were
acting in hearty corporation with the Gov
eminent in their endeavors to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of the disease in this country. 1t is
estimated that the steamship companies will
lose 81 900, 900 month while the 20 days quar-
antine regulations are being carried ont.
