CARELESS BLASTING.

Contractor Harrington is doing more
careless blasting in the neighborhood of
the City Hospital. Yesterday afternoon
a rock weighing nearly 200 pounds was
blown fifty feet IN the air, landing be-
tween the trolley car tracks. The rock
in the quarry were unable to remove
it without first breaking it into pieces.
Travel was delayed ten minutes Only
two weeks ago a piece of rock crashed
through the window of a house in the
vicinity, striking a boy and i~njaring him
to such an extent that he has been
unable to leave his bed.
Chief Murphy this morning warmed
Harrington to exercise more care.

against Alamanda Dericco, a wholesale
grocer doing business at Fifth and
Adams street, to recover $50 alleged to
be due him as wages. The case was
tried before Judge Paxton this morning,
and it was shown that M~ontievaho was
taken in by the grocer simply out of
charity. the plaintiff having applied to
him for aims. Judge Paxton decided
that Montievano had been amply paid
for his work uuder the circumstances
by the home clothing the defendant
had given him.

BEATS NIAGARA.
A ve-Hundred-Foo Waterfall To Be
Built Near Tacoma.

TACOMA, WASH, Feb. 22.--An i'm
mense electric power house, next in
size to the Niagara Falls plant, is to be
built this year in the Stuck Valley, 10
miles east of Tacoma. To carry out
the project the White River Water
Power Company, with a capital of s2,-
10000, has been Incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey. Water power
is to be secured by tapping the White
River below Buckley, from which, by
a simple conveyance of an open ditchs
it will be carried to Lake Tappa, near
Sumner, which will be utilized as a
storage reservoir.
The lake is three miles long, a third
of a mile wide and one-hundred feet
deep. From the end of the lake, by a
iume over a natural grade, the water
is to be diverted to the edge OF a bluff
overhanging Stuck Valley, giving a
fall of 400 to 500 feet to the power
house, where will be located a gener-
ator cable of developing $4,000 horse
power, not counting the surplus power
stored in Lake Tapa, by use of which
1000 horse power can be developed.
1t is calculated that Tacoma and
Seattle a s 5000 horse power and
other towns 5000, leaving 1900 horse
power to meet the natural growth OF
the two cities. An expert sent here
by the Westinghouse Company has
pronounced the scheme feasible.

THE NEBRASKA POOR FUND.
Over 5000 in Money Raised and Flour
and Clothing to the Amount
of $50 Donated.

To tha Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Feb. 22.-DEAR SIR:
l enclose a brief statement showing
the result of the Nebraska effort:
In the coolest days of this severe
winter the ladies were busily engaged
in making quilts, soliciting contribu-
tions of money, clothing, ETC. Four or
five of them were made sick from the
exposure, but they rejoice in the suc-
cess of their efforts to contribute
somewhat to the relief of the intense
suffering in a sister state. Owing to
the sickness of Miss Morris, the treas
urer, whose quiet, unremitting zeal is
worthy of all praise, the writer under
took to finish the work for her.
The committee raised in money
above all expenses s2o2.15. This sum
tary of the Relief Committee, North
Platte, Nebraska, with request that he
distribute it among the country peo-
pie. There were several bags of
clothing valued at S25, also a consign-
ment of flour from Pollock's mill of
about s25, making a total contribution
from Mexico and Audrain county of
A friend paid Mrs. Ludlum for her
services. Thus the entire proceeds of
entertainment aad- contributions
sent to Nebraska-not a nickel of
which went to Mrs. Ludlum. The re-
suit of this effort confirms the opinion
expressed, that u people
stand together in benevolent work,
whether it be to help the needy in our
or to relieve suffering in a sister

THE MISSoURIANS REFUSED.
Would Not Join in the Effort to Aid
Crittenden.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Feb. 21.-The
Washington Neps to-day prints the
following which may be of interest to
Missourians:
"The Missouri Congressional dele
CATION have refused to join in a united
effort to secure the promotion of Con-
sui General Crittenden to the Mexican
mission, made vacant by the death of
Ex-Governor Gray. Other state dele
cations are putting forward candidates
zealously. The Missourians positively
decline to do anything for Crittenden.
Appeals have been t~elegraphed here
from Missouri, but they have no eff
feet. Outside of personal c~onsidera-
tons, it would be a credit to the state
and a great advantage from a COM
mercial point of view to have the
Mexican mission, but it is made almost
certain by the indifference of the dele
CATION that Missouri will not get it."

RIDICULOUS APPROPRIATIONS.
State University Asked for $685., 900
and Got $4,000.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, February %.
"A howl louder than jefferson City
raised when the removal resolution
was rushed through, went mp to-day
from the friends OF the various State
institutions when the recommended
tions agreed upon by the House APP
preparation Committee were made
public.
For the State University appropria-
ton s72,000 will be recommended,
while the recommendation for Lincoln
Institute, the negro college at Jeffer-
son City, is se4, 600.
For Missouri Insane Asylum, No, 2,
at st. Joe, only $500 above the sum
required to pay the salaries fixed by
law Is allowed and the other institu-
tons are cared for in the same pro-
portion.
Captain Eads, chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Board of University Curators,
stated tonight that the university
would have to shut down If no greater
appropriations were allowed, and rep
resentatives of other institutions,
with the exception OF Lincoln Insti-
tute, which has been given out of all
proportion to the others, make the
same statement.
OF course the Senate will not permit
the appropriations to pass in any such
shape. The Democratic Senators,
without exception, announced to-day
that they would hold the Legislature
until June rather than to have the
State institutions Frustrated.

SEDALIA'S OFFER,
Chicago Not Interested-Capital Re-
moval Organization.

SEDALIA, Mo-, February 21.-The
proposition to remove the capital of
Missouri from Jefferson City to Sc
dalia continues to be the chief topic
of discussion in this city. The offer
included in the bill, to provide a Cap
itol building and other State buildings
free of cost and donate them to the
State, was made advisedly and after
the funds had been undoubtedly as
sured.
The much-talked- of syndicate which
has been back of the removal scheme
is the Commonwealth Land and I'M
provement Company. J. B. Quigley,
president of the Sedalia Waterworks
Company, is president of the new
company or syndicate, and for him
self and others holds nearly all of the
stock. 1t has been stated that this
syndicate was composed of Chicago
capitalists, but it is untrue. The stock
holders are all Missourians. They are
backed by almost unlimited capital
and are prepared to provide buildings
and land for State purposes when the
people of the State decide to remove
the capital to this city.
At a meeting of business men and
capitalists to-day it was decided to eff
feet a capital removal organization,
similar to a Board of Trade, for the
purpose of considering all propositions
that might be suggested, and to pro-
vide the ways and means to secure
the location of the capital here. 1t
was also arranged to invite the mem
bers of the Legislature to visit Sedalia
in a body just prior to their adjourn
ment, on which occasion they will be
shown over the city and afterwards
banqueted.

MoNTGoMERY's COUNTY SEAT.
just Where 1t Will be Located the
Supreme Court Must Decide.

A special to the st. Louis Chronicle
from Mexico says: The most aggra-
waited legal fight in this section OF
Missouri has been the battle to remove
the county seat of Montgomery county
from Danville to Montgomery City. 1t
has been in the courts and the removal
question has been submitted to the
people of the county repeatedly. At
the last election the proposition was
voted down.
Later some irregularities were dis
covered in the Wellsville vote and it
was thrown out, temporarily at any
rate. The case was taken to the Su-
preme Court.
The interpleaders in the Ease against
the removal, when it was first taken
to the higher court, were opposed to
the removal, but later weakened and
appeared to favor it.
After the interpleaders weakened it
looked to Montgomery City people as
if they had won the fight. Conse-

wagons and, accompanied by a posse
of citizens and helpers, went to Dam
vile and hauled all the records, ect.,
to Montgomery City. Photographers
sketched what wal supposed to be the
final disappearance of the county seal
from old Danville.
Hon. John M. Barker, acting for the
citizens of Montgomery opposing the
removal, went to jefferson City and
asked the Supreme Court to grant a
motion allowing new and responsible
in~terpleaders. This was the last and
only chance, and it won, the Supreme
Court granting the motion.
The Supreme Court VIII immediately
be asked for a mandamus compelling
the Sheriff of Montgomery county to
haul all the records, ETC., back to DAN
vile and replace them as they were.
The fight has engendered the bitterest
in the county and serious
trouble may vet be the result.
