Still that, If Missouri does not
treat him right, to. cross the bor-
der and he will be given the bene-
fit of just, fair and liberal legisla-
ton.
The Missouri Legislature
can employ its time to better ad-
vantage than trying to crowd
Kirksvilie's most lucrative busi-
ness out of the State.
Mrs. Lease advised the far
mers to raise less wheat and more
sheol. To raise less sheol and
more hogs would be good advice
at this time, and Mrs. Lease
should not withhold it.
Hogs sold at 81 10 per hun
dred in Kirksville, Thursday, the
highest paid in this market for
many years. Reports from Cir
cinnati indicate that the price vii!
go still higher, and those best
posted say that it will require 8
year to supply the demand the
present scarcity has occasioned.
With hogs at $40 per
hundred, hay $500 per ton, eggs
221c per dozen, butter 20c per
pound, corn at Soc to SIC per
bashel and the prices of cattle
getting stronger every Gay, the
farmers ought to be happy. Farm
products are becoming more val
liable every day and the prospect
is that no business will pay like
farming for some time to come,
B. Fl, Bonfoey, of Union

few days ago to drtermine, if pos
sible, whether there was any pros
pect that the Sioux City, Balti-

built. He found that the work
was not all on paper, but that a
strong company had the project
Ia charge, and that the road
would In all probability, be builu
to hirksville during the year
1888.
The great benefits of life
insurance were fully exemplified
this week by the prompt payment
OF $4,000 to Mrs. Mary Hensley,

her late husband, L. L. Heusley.

considerable commotion
was produced in Kirksville this
week because of an effort to get a
bill before the Legislature, which
provides that no school of medi-
cine IN the state except the &C.
lectic, allopathic and honeopa,a-
ic schools, shall grant diplomas to
graduates. This movement is
looked upon as a direct blow at

and the people are indignant. The
practitioners of the old school
have denounced osteopathy as a
humbug, while Thousands are pro-
claiming the great benefits deriv-
ed from the treatment. Why war
should be made on osteopathy is
not clear. Its disciples do not
prescribe medicines and there
fore cannot interfere with any OF
the old schools of medicine. They
