est diamonds. and all the precious
stones. About eight or nine o'clock,
the band would commence playing,
which was the signal for choosing
partners, and such dancing; dance after
dance, way into the small hours of the
night. Oh, how fast we think all those
scenes over again.
Before / leave the boat scenes, /
must speak of one of those things that
often occurred in those days. One day
in going down the river, we met boat
hard and fast on a sand bar. As our
boat came alongside, our band played,
.sOh, what can the matter be-" The
band on the grounded boat replied,
ga sittin' on a rail- As the band
stopped, the darkey deck hands took up
the refrain, and sang song as only
darkies can sing:
ga sittin' on dat rail,
A sittin' on dat rail,
And did you neber see a bugger boo
A sittin' on a rail"
tell you 1t sounded grand. And as
thought passed thought my mind all
forgetful of my surroundings, Charley
said, ..Well, let's 60" At the sound
of his voice, how all of those early
scenes vanished-like the fog before
the morning. When I came to myself
and to the present, and looked around
me, saw most all of those boats and
people, and all of that hurry and hustle
had gone like the mists. ALI was quiet
save half dozen small boats and the
ferry boats.
l find the rail roads have nearly
destroyed the river traffic and river
passenger travel. Too slow for this
hurrying, rushing age. heard a man
say, II wish they would find some way
to send passengers through a tube, or
some way of annihilating time" Seal
a man up in a casket and send him
through tube, while he takes a short
nap! No, sir, I don't care about being
hurried through this world quite so
fast. We will get through quick enough
if we only behave ourselves. Life is
too short as it is, if we do live out our
appointed time, if we improve the tai
ents God has given us. No, sir, am
in no hurry; life is very pleasant to me.
We read every few days, of some one
taking his own life. I always thought
that was folishness. A coward, afraid
to live to face trouble. No, the steep
er the hill, bend down to it and push
the harder; adopt the motto of old
Davy Crockett; 'sBe sure you are right.

One of The Yellowstone Wonders.

Major Jones, Government engineer
in charge of the improvement OF the
Misssippi and tributaries, and in charge
of the roads and waters of the Yellow
ston Park, is just back from an explor-
ing tour through the Shoshone range
of mountains, which skirts the park on
the east. He was shown by rancher
a barometer spring, and found it to be
one OF the most wonderful freaks OF
nature ever discovered. The Major
yesterday gave this account OF his trip
and the spring:
..Soda Butte is a mound Of travertine
on small creek in the northeast por-
tion of the park. It was formed by the
deposition of sediment from calcare-
GUS spring similar to those at Mammoth

The Only Remedy.

| The Mayor of Pittsburgh has under
ial problems by the simple method o
closing up summarily the disorderl.
experiment at the demand of ministers
and other citizens that he enforce thu
law against such resorts in its extreme
severity, the charge having been made
that by tolerating the evil the Pitts
bugh police were practically licensing
it.
The same charge is made against the
police of New York. They are accus
ed of winking at vice. The public
even, know of it's existence, for it can
not be kept secret. 1t leaves an in3el
ible mark on the faces and manneEs ol
the women who minister to it. Gen.
orally they are easily recognizable in
tie streets by all men. They must
have homes from which to hail, and
The very admission of such women to
a house gives it the taint of disrepute,
whether the other inmates be orderly
or disorderly. But as it is in New
York, so it is In every great city OF
Christendom, except that here this vice
is less, proportionately to the popula-
ton, and it is not manifested SO openly
as abroad. It has also been here from
the very foundation of the town, and
under every police administration.
The reports of the Police Superintend-
ents of forty and fifty years ago show
that it was tolerated then to an even
greater extent than now, and was far
more offensive in its display. The po-
lice have never attempted to conceal
it. However much they might have
tried, they could not have hidden it.
This police toleration of the vice the
Mayor of Pittsburgh has now stopped
peremptorily. He has ordered every
vicious resort te be closed up. Super
intendent Byrnes might undoubtedly
do the same in New York. The situa-
tion of such houses is a matter of COM
mon repute, and the police are accus-
toned to deal with them according to
this general reputation without being
too scrupulous in exacting absolute and
specific evidence of their character.
Every one of them could be shut up
tonight without any stretch OF author
ity which would get the police into
trouble, and all the inmates might be
brought before the Police Justices to-
morrow morning. Why, then, is not
the raid made? The practical results
of the experiment of the Pittsburgh
Mayor explain why. They also show
why just and enlightened public senti-

The Best Things
In Cookery

Are always made with the ROYAL BAk-
ING POWDER. 1t imparts that peculiar
lghtness, sweetness and flavor noticed
in the finest rolls, biscuit, cake, etc,
and which the most expert pastry cooks
declare is unobtainable by the use Of
any other raising agent.
The ROYAL BAKING POWDER, besides
rendering the food more palatable and
wholesome, is, because of its higher
leavening power, the most economical.
The ROYAL makes more and better
food than any other baking powder
because it is the purest.

proceeding SO violent. These places
do not create vice. Vice creates them.
II their wretched inmatesare driven out
of the houses in which they now live,
they must find residences elsewhere.
Even if they were all killed or sent to
prison for life, their place would be
supplied by the same infamy of men
which sent them down into degrada-
ton, and the police could no more stop
the source of the new supply than they
could dam up the source of the old.
They can punish the existing feminine
victims, but they cannot whiten the
black hearts of the masculine despoil-
ers which keep up their numbers in a
fixed ratio to the whole population.
The truth is that men are ashamed
to make a woman alone punishable for
an offence of which man is equally
guilty. 1t is not fair. It outrages the
sense of justice in men. If society is
determined to cure this terrible dis
ease, it must cease to discriminate be-
tween men and women after its present
fashion. It must impose the same legal
and social penalties on both the SHINING
man and the SHINING woman. It must
make the vice equally punishable by
whichever practised. The sense of
justice in men is already put to pain
full strain even by the restraining se-
verify of the police upon these wretch
ed victims of masculine lust. and il the
treatment of them is made as cruel as
Parkhurst desires, every instinct of
Justice and manhood will rise up in in
dignant revolt.
That is the explanation of the public
consent to the tolel alton of the social
evil. The police merely represent the
sentiment of the men. The necessity
of providing safeguards for the public
health and public order requires a dis
elimination against the women which
in itself is a harsh punishment, and
the social ostracism to which they must
submit is a powerful deterrent from
vice that is not applied to their seduc-
ers and associates among men.
Hence this liberation must continue
in the form of secluding the evil so far
as practicable, or it must be replaced
by the direct legal recognition AMI
licensing of vice as a social necessity
so long as the moral standards of vast
numbers of men remain as they are
now. That is the alternative. Both
courses are shameful enough to men,
but men will not add to their load of
shame the consciousness of committing
the further outrages on the weak and
defenceless which Parkhurst and his
allies would impose on
them.
The only effectual cure for the dis
ease is to raise the moral standard of
men, and it is remedy to be applied
by the Church and not by the State. |
Make all men good and there will be
no bad women. Even as it Is, vice Is
rare among women as compared with

WE commend to the peop'c of Mis-.
scuri, and especially Jefferson City
and Cole county, the name of the
gentleman at TIE head Of this article.
He is the nominee of the republican
party for governor of the Grand Old
State of Missouri, AMI if he is elected
his administration will reflect the
greatest possible LOaug upon the state.
Major Warner is II man whom you
can not know and dislike. lie is n
man of brains, of nerve, and COM
manding presence. lie is an able
lawyer and q good citizen. lie is a
poor man in SO far as wealth goes,
but he is rich in ability and character.
lie wa elected to congress in q demo.
cratic district by 1000 majority and
he was reelected in the same district
Ivy Il like majority. All classes OF
people, democrats and republicans,
supported him. Whatever position
lie has been called upon to fill ha,
been returned to the peopla better fol
having been filed by VIM. Warner
His interests are in Missouri. His
pride for his state challenges the re-
spect ID admiration Of his oppon
cnts in politics. And if tie pecpl,

4 WAGON BRIDGE.

DtRING the past Two weeks en-.
gineers and bridge builders have been
in this city looking into the feasibility
of constructing a wagon bridge at
this place across the Missouri river,
Thus far all indications are favorable.
The construction Of the NJ, X. & T.
r. r. and the existence Of the G. &
A. already on the the north side Of
the river, makes a wagon bridge n
of the necessary institutions to bring
out and build up Jefferson City. We
believe it no cxaggeration when we
say that within five years after the
construction of n wagon bridge across
the river, giving Jefferson City the
benefit of competition with three lead.
ing Independent trunk line railroads,
this city will have gained double its
present population. The construc.
ton of such q bridge would make
Jefferson City the best manu-,
featuring point in Missouri. 1t
would connect jefferson City with
Lake Michigan by the c. & A. and
the Cult Of Mexico by the NJ, X. &
T. In addition to this it would put
the city in direct communication with
a new country and a new people. A
bridge will make Galloway county our
next door neighbor and bring to our
door every farmer who has anything
to buy or sell.
The failure TO build a bridge on
the other hand will be a death blow
to us. The NJ, X. & T. instead of
being q benefit will be an injury, be-
cause the Galloway county farmer
will ship his grain direct to st. Louis
Commission houses will buy the pro.
duce and jefferson City will have lost
even what little she now gets from
that quarter. or course, the ques-
ton is, can a bridge be built! we
believe it cal if n bonus of 500, 900
can he raised. The G.. & A. and the
NJ, X. e T. would, no doubt, give
literally and jefferson City could
afford to do likewise. Property
would increase $1,000 in value as
soon as the bridge was assured. We
don't know what the gentlemen have
Concluded to do, but it will pay our
people to keep an eye On the bridge
project and encourage it with all their
might and power.

The Democratic State Central com.
mittce will meet at Sedalia this week
and make arrangements for the COM
ing campaign. 1t would he wise for
the committee to discuss, the advisa-
5ility of changing the date of the
nominating convention. The rcpub-
lican party is already in the field with
its candidates for state offices and the
latter are beginning TO reach out for
support among voters that the demo-
cratic party counts on, and the demo-
cratic ticket is not nominated until
two months and a half from. the pre-.
sent date it will seem that unneces-
sary advantage will have been given
to the republicans. The head of the
republican ticket, Maj. Warner, is an
active, hustling, t~ireless campaigner
and is already beginning his work .
With three months more time than
the democrats give themselves the re-
publicans will naturally be able to ac-
complish n great deal more than they
would il the start was even-Mirror
(D,mocratic.)
THE above would indicate that the
republicans acted wisely in making
their nominations carly. A good
many republicans thought the party
had made q mistake in deciding to
nominate a ticket in April, but we
looked upon it as a wise move, ard
the fact that the democrats are un,
easy, shows that We entertained til,
correct view regarding the matter.

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good but what else does
1t do?
1t cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin /; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
stantly washes and rinses
off in a twinkling is as
gentle as strong and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts of stores sell IT,
especially druggists; all sorts
of people use it.
