0oopWORDs FOR KIRKSVlLLE

The Journal of Osteopathy, pub
ished by the Ostcopathy iniirm-
lry in this city, in its last issue
the following good words
for kirksville. The journal is
very bright motnhly, ably edited,
and a credit to the city. Under
the head "Our Home,' it said:
"Kirksville has at no time in its
history enjoyed a more decided
and marked degree of prosperity
than through the years 1898 and
1894. Our city was not filed with
vacant business and dwelling
houses through those years. Rents
remained unchanged. Landlords
were not forced to ask evictions OF
tenants for non payment of rents.
Not business failure occurred
during the year, so prudently and
cautiously do our business men
manage and guard their affairs.
Not an inuendo or whisper about
the solvency of our banks, not a
run or withdrawal of funds from
deposits occurred. During the
extreme stringency in the money
market last year, when strikes
were the rule, and the cry of dis
content, want and suffering came
from the four corners of the earth,
when the inhumanity of the Pull
mans and Carnagies was in the
zenith of its oppression, no cry
of want was heard here. With d
strike within 81 miles of us, in the
month of July, our city furnished
no recruits to the army of discon'
tents. Upon the contrary, through
that time the saw and the hammer
of our carpenters could be heard
all over the city, as we'll as the
chimes of the anvil and the whis
ties of the foundry and the mills
From every street and corner yor
saw the busy laborer engaged up
on The city's public works. A
the very time the land was dotted
from the Atlantic to the Paciti,
with discontented, tramping mil
lions, not man in our city wa
idle because he could not find dali,
employment.

Obituary.

Mr.. John Shulze was born in
Europe, Prussia, on the 23d of Feb.
1924, and departed this life on May
31st, 1895.
Brother Shulze came to America
in 1S4S, and settled in Wisconsin.
He was married to Barbara Hous-
er, June 19, 1854, and to them
were born nine children, six of
whom with the mother survive
him. The deceased was a good
citizen, a faithful, kind husband
a loving and affectionate father.
Brother Shulze joined the Presby-
terian church in his native land at
the age of IA, and remained a
member of the same till 1886,
when he united with the good peo-
pie of Mulberry in organizing a
congregatin which was placed un-
der the care of the Kirksville Pres
bytery of the G. P. church. He
remaiAed faithful member until
his death.
AS a man he was quiet but gen,
ial and social, always meeting his
acquaintance and friends with a
smile and a cordial greeting. He
was esteemed and highly respected
by all who knew him.
There was large congregation
of the friends and acquaintance al
the funeral, at Mulberry church
among them were three brothers
in law, two from Illinois, and out
from Iowa, to sympathize with tht
bereaved family.
In the absence of the pastor
Rev. Whitehead, the services were
conducted by the writer, assisted
by his son, Rev. Geo. F. Mason
of Franklin, KY.

PROF. MUIR was turned down
by the Moberly school board and
the citizens of that city are on the
war path about the matter. AS
superintendent of the public schools
the professor gave perfect salts
faction. and there is strong talk of
an Indignation meeting by the
citizens. who claim the action OF
the board was wholly unwarranted
ard not in accord with public
sentiment. The Moberly papers
are full of the matter: and from
the size of the kick being made it
would appear that the good peo-
pie of Moberly, outside of the
school board, know how to ap-
preciate genuine ability. Prof
Muir is gentleman and one of the
best instructors in North Missouri.

IN their recent convention the
Iowa populists turned down their
old leader. General Weaver, who
differed from them ON a question
of policy. This is only an oft re-
peated demonstration OF the crown
ing weakness of populism. Wher-
ever this new faith has fiourished,
il has already fallen out with its
leaders, and like the "down-t -trod-
den masses" in Donnelly's great
text book of populism, Caesar $
Column, clamors for Caesar S
head" At first they follow blind
". then turn their wrath upon the
men who led them. They
have had so much of suspicion
and mistrust inStilled into them
hy ambitious demagogues that, in
the abSenSe OF other prey they
turn upon one another. The de-
signing apostles of gloom and de-
spair who conducted the peculiar
campaign of education" few
years ago and taught men to be,
lieve every member of the human
family rascal until proven limo
cent, deserve no pity. They have
only fallen into the trap they laid
for others, and as one by one their
heads drop into the basket with a
dull sickening thud, the public
will say amen. The very means
Inv which they ascended to temper
AIRY greatness has effected their
timely downfall.

THE eyes of republicans are now
turned towards Cleveland, Ohio,
where the National Republican
League Convention will meet this
week. and all of those who can
make it convenient will be there
in person. No republican-not
even Senator Dubois, who has
been in Washington on business
with whom your correspondent
has talked, believes that the con-
vention will try to usurp powers
belonging solely to National
Convention of the party to the ex-
tent of declaring by resolution what
the republican party shall or shall
not support in the presidential
campaign: that would be too much
like playing into the hands of the
democrats.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Mr.. Cleveland goes on his sum
ncr vacation in Il doubtful state OF
mind, Notwithstanding the person
Il assurance of Secretary Carlisle
S over sanguine, and he has other
political troubles on hand. He has
reason to believe that Senator
Brice, while standing on the ad-
financial platform in
his Ohio campaign, is working for
Brice and not for Cleveland. He
tried to get his fingers into the
Ohio muddle by persuading Con-
gressman Sorg to become the
democratic candidate for Governor,
but. although Sorg is multi-mil-
lionaire. he thinks he spent enough
in getting elected to the guberna
torial chair and he isn't in
clined, even to please Mr.. Cleve-
land, to lead the democratic for
lorn hope this year. Mr.. Cleve-
land and his friends are also wor
ried over Senator Hills activity
in democratic councils in New
York: they know that it bodies no
good either to Mr.. Cleveland or
his friends in the presidential cam
paign.
The scheme to keep the demo-
cratS now employed at the Govern
ment printing Office upon Uncle
SANS pay roll after the republi-
can administration takes charge,
March 4, 1897, has been approved
by Mr.. Cleveland, and the whole
outfit, including its more than
2500 employees, has been put un-
der Civil Service rules. This is
entirely satisfactory to the "ins,
but the "outS'' will not be apt to
regard it with the same sentiment.
The higher the mercury in the
thermometer climbs, the more
pressing-in the eyes of Secretary
Herbert-grows the necessity fol
an official inspection of the Nortl
Atlantic Navy Yards. Anticipat
ing this necessity Secretary Her
bert sometime ago ordered tina
the dispatch boat Dolphin be over
hauled and put in proper inspec
ton condition, including her com
miSSary stores. This has beel
done, and the inspection tour whicl
will take in all the swell ocean re
sorts from Fortress Monroe to a
far north as Bar Harbor, will be
gin as soon as Secretary Herber
completes his list of summe
guests, and will last from ST
weeks to two months. Last yea

How Jim was Caught.

1--WE don't say you shall not drink,
said one of the officials who is promi-
nently connected with the the temper
ance department Of the Rock Island
railroad, to a man who had been sum-
moned before him for the first time,
"but we DO say that no man who drinks
habitually shall work for this COM
pany.
The machinery for the surveillance
of the men of this road is SO thorough
that its operation is sometimes al
most dramatic. 1t is easy to under
stand that the person Of convivial tastes
could be successfully watched in the
smaller cities where divisions terml-
nate, but it seems rather a difficult
task to keep track of the goings and
comings Of a man in the wilderness
and the legion of alley entrances in
Chicago. That this is done, however,
freight conductor on the road had
convincing evidence only a short time
ago. He was a capable man, but he
drank. He received one or two intl-
nations that he was running the risk
Of losing his job every time he took
drink, but, like other fatuous mortals,
he refused to profit by the experience
of others. One day the superintend-
ent of his division sent for him.
"Jim,' said be, have you been
drinking lately?'
mo, sir; not drop, sir.

"No, sir
Nor beer? p
NO, sir.
what were you doing in Dunn's
saloon at Ninety-frst and State street
the other day."
jim was confused for a moment,
then he said: 81 went in there to col
lect a little bill man owed me.
Didn't drink anytbing?'
mo, sir" with some show Of rising
indignation at this inquisition.
DO you recognize that p inquired
the superintendent, drawing a small
photograph from his desk.
Jim turned very red, stammered and
admitted that it a very good likeness
of himself 1t was a snapshot and
represented man in the act Of raising
foaming schooner to his lips.
Jim was told to 60 and sin once
more if he wished to lose his job. Six
months latef be slipped again, and on
the next run ont another man was IN
charge OF his train.

The boy came briskly into the office,
dofed his hat and bowed to the boss:
Il understand that you want boy,
sir" he said.
"Yes, We have a vacancy"
Can FIJI it?"
Can you? What sort of place
do You want?'
Where there's as little work and
as much pay as you can stand.
Most boys when they come are will
ing to take all work and no pay.
I'm not most boys"

fresh aren't your"
"Yes, sir, but know it, and | am
getting cured"
"Do You expect to get the kind OF
job you want"
No, sir nobody gets what he wants
exactly, but it doesn't hurt him to ex-
pect a good deal.
What pay do you think you should
have2"
Three dollars week.
"The other bows we have had only
got $500"
How many have YOU had in the
past year?"
Eight or ten"
Il thought so. That's the kind of
a boy g boy is,
And are YOU not that kind2'
NO, sir If l come, hang up my
hat and stay"
Suppose YOU don't like it2'
"I'll stay Just the same
Suppose We bounce you?''
"I'll be glad of il, sir
Glad of it?"
"Yes, sir. If the house isn't satis-
fed with the right kind of a boy, it is
not the right kind of n house for the
right kind of boy to be in."
The employer took second look at
the boy.
"Um," he muttered, will you say
that over again ?"
"No sir; it is time that was going
to work if I'm going to work, and If !
am not it's time left. Do go in or
out p and the boss, with much doubt
in his mind, said "ln,' and the boy

The response was very prompt this
time. To my surprise two mail bags
were returned to me. Oddly enough
| had not missed the second one.
"You will easily understand that in
the Congo Free State. which has an
organized government and a sovereign
in the person of the King of the Bel
gians, an ordinary traveller would not
be permitted to make war upon the
natives in such fashion. But | had
official authority and discretionary
power, being recognized as represent
ing the United States.
The Government of the Congo
Free State bestowed upon me the Order
of the Lion in recognition Of my mill
tary services. OF the 400 natives IN
my party about roo were women. |
would never 60 on an expedition IN
Africa without taking women along.
They are most useful to carry food
and other burdens In order that the
men shall fight wella be contented 1t
is necessary that they shall not be
asked to carry loads. My dugout
canoe was fine affair. 1t was seventy
five feet long and made from a single
log. There was room for forty pad
dlers, in addition to whom 1t carried
thirty soldiers and their wives-lu all
one hundred and twenty-five people,
with baggage, etc. In this craft thus
loaded we could go faster than any
steamer on the Congo. a comfortable
house of grass was built on board OF
her.
The collection which brought
back with me includes some wooden
figures of men and women, which are
fetiches. The natives do not exactly
worship them, but burn things before
them. In the lower Congo, when a
person is suspected of theft, nail is
iabbed into the heart Of such a wood
en- figure, and the supposition is that
it will cause the death of the offender.
In every tribe there is a fetch house,
in which fetiches are kept and cared
for by the fetch man. The latteris a
sort of doctor, and he will sell poisons
to people who desire to get rid of
enemies"
