Millions of Feet Taken From State School
Lands in Missouri
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3o.-The news has
reached here of an enormous timber theft in
Mcdonald Christian and Laclede counties,
in this State, where 5000 acres of school
lands have been held for the benefit of
jackson county. An inspector has been
there looking over the ground pending the
acceptance of an offer OfS2 per acre for the
land. He found all the timber, amounting
to probably millions of feet, had been
stolen.
Several crops could have been taken, as
the land has been unvisited for 80 years.
AS the growth of timber maturing on the
land was all the county could look to for
accruing profits in lieu of rentals or other
returns from its holdings, the steal is a
sweeping one.

dicate proportions of gas in the air as low

quantity OF chloride of copper, which tinges
the flames with green, while it gives the

FROM PRESIDENT POLK.

A Letter Showing That the Order Has
Never Been More United Nor More Deter
mined.
S. McLallin, Topeka, Kan:
DEAR SIR AND BROTHER: Replying to
your favor of recent date in regard to
the Birmingham conference, l beg to
say that at the time the circular letter
calling the conference was issued a
copy was furnished to each of the alli-
ance presidents of the northern states
with satisfactory explanation for con-
fning the call to the southern states,
and they were assured that they would
be promptly informed as to the action
of the conference This has been done.
After full and free interchange of
views as to the condition of the order
and its environments in the south,
three important facts are developed:
First-That the order has never in
its history been more united nor more
determined in its purpose to adhere to
its principles
Second-That the morale of the or
ganization will not be impaired or Sc
riously affected by the pending political
campaign.
Third-That it recognizes the force
and great Importance of a faithful OBJ
servance of the pledge, to stand Loyalty
by the brotherhood at the ballot box
in all states and sections in one COM
mon effort to destroy sectionalism and
to secure the blessings of justly and
squitably administered government.
The investigation and discussion
evolved the additional fact that from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande the
great common people are rallying to-
gether as never before for one mighty,
concentrated effort at the ballot box
on behalf of equity. truth and justice.
Fraternally yours,
L. L. Polk
