ing Cart that is Just a Little
Eccentric.
The managers of the Tramway
Company are nothing if not ener-
getic. For some time they have
been using a cart to sprinkle be-
tween the car tracks. The said
cart has always been a source of
worriment to that lively nickel
collector Mr.. Paine and to the
police. On several occasions, Paine
has walked hurriedly down town
with far away gaze in his eyes,
looking for that favorite magazine
watering cart Of his, and after a
careful search would find it on
Fort street along with several street
cars and o blockade. He would
also find the cart minus the horse
and driver. The superintendent
would chase himself rather hur-
riedly to the police station, and
would usually find the object of
his search with charge Of cruelty
to animals against the driver.
Mr.. Paine would put up little
bail, and then traffic would COM
mence again on the road. He
became tired Of this programme,
and, with the intention of avoid
ing it in the future, imported a
two-wheel vehicle wifi a large bar
rel fastened on top to carry the
water. On King street, yesterday
afternoon, the driver, after filling
the barrel with water, discovered
that the load was heavier than the
animal. The horse was sent up in
the air kicking most furiously; it
remained in this aerial position for
some moments until the barrel was
emptied, when the horse and cart
resumed their proper positions. Mr.
Paine is thinking about placing
numberless bags of nickels around
the animals neck to counter.
balance the weight.

Mr.. Huntsman has struck a job.
He is being employed by the Po-

found lying dead in the road near
Waimea, and to the cause of whose

with liberality which is fresh

Frank Mackin last summer, was call.
ed in the circuit in the afternoon.
Mr.. Silver, one of the attorneys for
the defense, filed q motion to quash

cided to continue the case until Feb

Louis on business connected with the
road, on which he says work will GER
tsinly commence carly in the spring,
although the route may be changed

about one-half of their $50, 900 each.
Unless all of the money is sub

President Crandall says the counties
south of Sedalia will ask to have their
subscriptions transferred to another
company that has for some time past
contemplated building q road from
Springfield to Bagnell, to connect
there with the Jefferson City branch
of the Missouri Pacific.
Springfield has subscribed $780,
600 in bonds and in addition has do.
mated terminal facilities and right of
way through the city that ore worth
$4,000, and Mr. Crandall says the
people there are weary of waiting on

An Unsoived Problem.

Editor STATE REPUBLICANS
Why should men who own no silver
orc Or silver mining eharcs and
do not gamble in margins, demand
that the Government shall pay three
dollars for two dollars worth of silver:
AS a matter of fact the Government
can buy with two dollars sufficient
silver ore TO co,n three silver dollars
and have enough silver left to pay
for the minting.
This is just what free coinage
means. Undoubtedly free coinage
will increase The circulation, but the
question to determine is, does it pay
to give the plutocrat a dollar every
time three dollars pass through his
hands. How can the people be bcne-
itcd if Congress passes Wall Streets
bill, requiring the Government To
| store the silver ore and issue to tho
owner thereof for every 37l 1.2 grains
Of pure silver, worth G6 cents or less,
a certificate OF the nominal value of
one dollar,
AT the close Of the fiscal year,
Sept. /, '32, the profits to the Gov
crn.nent on account of silver coinage
amounted % over s7a, 900, 600, which
has been accounted for TO tho people,
who would have pocketcd this
amount under free coinage:
