a pre.per.u.. ana growing business.

A RPosPereus m Growing ess.
Years ago Cape Girardeau was tine
great trade center for all Southeast
Missouri. Northern Arkansas and
Southern Illinois. In those DAYS there
we're no railroads to carry the pro-
duce and the people to the large cities
and the farmer and the merchant had
TO get their supplies from the nearest
trading point and cart them across
the country over new cut roads" on
wagons drawn by the slow moving
OK, and to make . trip of fifty-,niles
with q team of that kind took awhole
week. Cotton aud tobacco iu those
good old times made up the crop of
the farmer in Southeast Missouri and
Northern Arkansas, while corn was
the principal product of Southern
Illinois. The marketable product OF
these sections OF country was hauled
to this city and here it was exchanged
for goods, wares and merchandise
such as were necessary for supplying
the country merchant.
Before there were any railroads
this city did quite a large wholesale
business and in that business several
men made quite snug little fortunes
The building Of the belmont Branch
of The Iron Mountain Railroad cut
Of the immense trade from the in
terror that had for years been coming
here aud the railroads running
through Southern illinois also carried
to the big cities the produce of that
rich section of country and thus put
an cad TO the wholesale business in
this city, and for twenty-five years
the wholesale business here was a
dead as a door nail.
About a year ago Judge Sebastian
Albert, ID of our oldest and most
progressive citizens conceived the
idea-and rightly too-that railroads
instead OF being a death blow to the
business of this city were just what
vas needed TO make the city the
market for this vast section of coun-
try, aud he therefore organized Il
stock company and launched out
In the wholesale grocery business
He organized under a business system
with iirst-ciass business men as CO.
workers. put several good men on the
road TO work for the firm aa.i the re-
suit is he hasestab!ished one of the
lar est wholesale houses in the State
outside of st. Louis.
The Albert Grocer Company is
now known for hundred, OF miles
aronnd as one of the big wholesale
houses OF the State. II Is supplying
goods to the country merchants far
and near, and supplying them too at
prices that they cannot beat in s..
Louis or elsewhere. The house is an
exclusive wholesale house aud the
fact that it reaches out and gets trade
from territy that has for years been
lost to this city makes it an enterprise
that every citizen of Cape Girardeau
should feel proud OF. II brings
thousands of dollars OF trade to this
city that would go elsewhere if We
had no wholesale house here. Its
business is already an immense bust
ness and is, we understand, growing
rapidly and extending over a wider
and better territory every day.

CATHOLIC CONGRESS CLOSED
The Resolution Adopted with Reference
 to the School Question

@"0 hsosoiutioh Adopted with Reference
 to the School Question.
 CHICAGO, Sept II. - The Catholic church congress has adjourned. The school question is treated in the resolu- tions as follows:
 AS tho preservation Of our national exist. ehee the constitution under which we live and aIl our rights and liberties as citizens depend upon the intelligence, virtue and morality of our people, vo must continue 10 use our post enorts to increase and strengthen our catholic parochial schools and Catholic col ieSes and to bring all our educa tional ins ii. iuuons To Inc highest standard of excellence II Is the sense Of this congress, therefore, that Catholic education should be steadfastly up- heid according to the degrees of the council of Baltimore and the decisions of the holy see thereon In the elevating and directing influ- ence or Christian higher education, in particu- lar, we recognize the most potent agency for the wiso solution of the great social prob lens now facing mankind We recognize the signal wisdom of our Holy Father, Leo KILL, and of the American hierarchy in found Ing an institution of highest Christian learning in our national capital. and with confidence in their wisdom so to direct it that it shall be fully adequate to the needs of our age and O f our country, we pledge to them our active CO., operation in making 1t one Of tho chief glorles of the Catholic church and of the American re- public. We appeal to all our fellow citizens of all religious denominations to teach the rising generation to love, honor and obey our common Creator, and to instil into their hearts sound principles of morality, without which our glorious political liberty cannot continue Profoundly approaching the love for education shown by tho sovereign pontif and our bishops We repeat what has been said in this congress, That 1t is only the school bell and church bell which can prolong the echo Of the liberty bell. |"

CHOLERA IN EUROPE
The Infection In England Spreading

The Infection In England Spreading
 Deaths In Italy and Holland.
 LONDON, Sept 9.-The British med ical journals, discussing the outbreak of cholera, concludes that the source of the Grimsby and Hull infection is in Antwerp; or, in other words, that the disease was brought to Grimsby and Hull from Antwerp. It is announced here that there have been no cases of cholera at Hull since Wednesday, but, it is added. hundreds of cases of chol- eraic diarrh9a exist there. Late yesterday afternoon it was officially announced that there was one death from cholera at Grimsby and thirteen new cases including some said to be cholcraic diarrhea, making q total of fifty cases
 At the Clesthorp hospital there are two cases of cholera The suspicious case at Tslington, which at first was supposed to be cholera, is now pro- nounced not to be Asiatic cholera
 RoME. Sept 9.-At the casino five new cases and one death from cholera wero reported. At Naples there were two deaths and at Palermo five new cases and five deaths from cholera.
 HAMBURG, Sept 9.-The British ship Galena, from Rotterdam, has arrived here with six cases of suspected cholera on board One of the cases is already known to be Asiatic cholera
 ROTTERDAM, Sept 9. - Three new cases and one death from cholera were announced here today.

Two Condemned Men, Two Rude Cofilns,

 Trial.
 WHBURToN, I. T., Sept. 9.-Two men with dark skins, rendered ghostly by fear and long confinement, stood in the court grounds, ten miles out from Will burton, alternately singing and pray ing. In cabin a few yards distant were two rude collins On a little hill 400 yards away two mounds of fresh dirt marked two new-made graves An Indian sheriff with loaded Win chester stood near by, look of indif- ference on his stolid face All about were Indian police, deputy marshals, COW boys and idle, curious spectators.
 The two men with fear-distorted faces were Simon Wade and Solomon Lewis, Choctaw Indians, condemned to die for political murders The collins were in. tended for them, so were the graves They were to be stripped to the waist, seated upon the collins and shot through their hearts by the sheriff.
 Suddenly a mounted man, riding rap idly, appeared. It was Robert Benton, captain of Gov. Jones' light horsemen. He came from Red Oak and bore let ter from Judge Holston stating that he had reconsidcred his decision and in accordance with the commands made by Secretary Smith had declared their exc cution of and granted new trials The lives of Simon Wade and Solomon Lewis had been saved. They are the happiest Indians in the Choctaw nation. It is more than probable that new trial means acquittal. Both men passed q very restless night, their supposed last on earth, spending the most of the time praying. They now believe that prayer saved their lives.

 ih case the law is rigidly epforced lung 1u, the new Chinese m;nistor to this country, will, it is said witbd ,o ", to ohina. For the past fortv-eipht hours he has been besieged with tele- srains rom Chinese subjects througb- out the country asking for a verifica- t'on or the report that President Cleva- iana and his cabinet had decided to nnt the Geary law into effect The Cb;nese DIX companies in San Francisco have been in telegraphic communication With nm ever since his arrival in Washington.
 mere IS some fear evidently that the ohlnese government will retaliate when an attempt is made to enforce the act At any event the arranpe- ments made for strengthening the naval fleet at the Chinese station are significant The gunboat Concord is now on the way to China and the Petrel has also been ordered there. The cruiser Baltimore is also on the way to China.
