We are astoniahed that the New

a slander against a gentleman who has
done 50 much for Cape Girardeau and
Southeast Missouri. AS a matter Of
fact, the Kennott and Caruthersville
railroad is being built as fast as any
railrond was ever built in Missouri.
OF the 25 miles, more than one-half
has been- graded: all of the overfowed
land has been passed through, that is
between the high land east Of Kennet
to Little river, and the piling is being
driven thorough the sloilghs. On the
east end, Contractor Woods with q

At birth no infant can see. Prof.
Preyer, who has carefully worked on

CONSIDERS that although sensibility TO
light exists from the very moment OF
birth, yet this sensibility Is more alive
to the sense Of feeling than 70 that OF
sight. The infant from the first closed
its eyes when exposed to a strong
light With regard to actual sight, as
denoted by the fixing of the eyes on
objects, Preyer says that hp 10 the
tenth day he noticed no movements in
dicating that the child fxed is eyes on
an object. He seemed only 70 look at
objects before him up to that time.
other authorities assert that in this
latter respect infants differ greatly.
This much, however, is clear, that it
usually requires between two and
three weeks for the sense OF sight to
come into fun operation.

We have been waiting for that great
Improvement in business that was
promised by the Democratic leaders as
soon as the German Tariff became
law and conditions we're settled.
Here is what Dun's Review, October.

"In textile industries the situation
is peculiar, and in many respects per-
picking. It is undeniable that orders
for goods are on the whole diininish-
ing, and retail trade does non yet
prompt such supplemental oi,dssss fl.s
were expected, but a good many works
have found orders. enough to start M
for a time, some having business Tor
several months. The demand for wool
is not as large as il has been. and
while prices have scarcely changed for
two weeks. sales are but ADA. go

for fourreels Is, ,451, S49poundsagainst
%, IA. 75e in 1892. Prices we're put
down before the new Tariff took ef-
feet, so that results Of foreign compe-
titlon are ielt mainly in reduced sales
of some domestic wools.

Several customers were chatting in
aLafayette avenuo grocery store one
evening recently, when the grocer
pointed to half-barrel of small beans
and asked how many of them it would
require to make bushel.
Various estimates wore ofTed. One
man recklessly put the number down
at $4,000, which occasicned laugh
from all the others, who had guessed
much smaller quantity, ranging all
the way from 5000 to 10000. "Well,
gentlemen, remarked thegrooer, ''you
are all wrong. There are approxi-
mately 119, coo beans in a bushel. .
No one was inclined to believe him
until he showed them that it took sixty
beans, selected at random, TO weigh
half an ounce. The rest of the caleu-
laiion was simple.

The resalt of fls election in this
county is no surprise to the intelh gent
thinking citizen. The county is poiitl-
cally reliably Republican and this tho
Democrats knew wnen they nominated
their county ticket, bat they hoped to
be able to make q better showing than
the result has given. They put up
their best men ana asked the people 10
lay politics aside and vote ior at ieast
ono or two OF their candidates. They
began begging campaign They
pleaded with Republicans to help them
on two Of their candidates on the plea
that they would be more able to help
certain communities than tho Repnbh-
can candidates woaI6. At the same
time they were making a vigorous
canvass in all parts OF the county for
their whole ticket. This the Republic
cans understood and they made up
their minds that the proper and
patriotic thing to do was to vote the
straight ticket This they did and
the result is they have carried The

where in the neighborhood Of 6ve
