MISSOURI.
FRIDAY, JUNE I
THE CITY OF KIRKSVILLE.

No city in the west has enjoyed
a steadier, healthier growth than
Kirksville. Through prosperous
times, failures or panics it contin-
ues its steady rapid growth until
the vast fields. and forests which
once surrounded the town are in
cluded in the corporate limits. The
most skeptic on the future of the
city are compelled to admit that
this steady boom has come to stay.
Last year despite hard times,
financial distress and panic, build
ing went steadily on. The chronic
grumblers and croakers declared
that we were erecting too many
buildings, and that half of them
would stand idle. Nevertheless
buildings went steadily on, and ev-
cry house found an occupant.
Over two hundred buildings will
this season be added to the town,
and a company from distance is
now considering the purchase of
the half block of ground east of
Willis Harlan'S to erect twenty
five thousand dollar hotel. The
Still Intirmary in the western part
of the city perhaps brings more
strangers to kirksville than any
other institution. Many people OF
wealth, intelligence and culture,
attracted to the city by the infrm-
airy have expressed themselves as
agreeably surprised with our city.
Many who came to visit decide to
locate, and thus add to the wealth
and numbers of the town. I'M
provemert after Improvement is
added. The Normal with its beau
tiful campus on the south is attrac-
tive to the visitor. Through the
energies and liberality of DIR. Still
those ungainly hills and woods il
the west part of the town have
been transformed into beauty anG
comfort. He has purchased anG
cCntemplates laying out park
north and west of the Osteopathy
building. The city is growing
north and east as well as south and
west. We hear talk of a street
car line, and the time is not fal
distant when this city will be one
of the most beautiful and prosper
Gus cities in the west.

-Unless all indications fail,
Missouri will in 1896 elect Re
publican Governor, State ticket
and presidential electors. The
non office seeking Democrats have
discovered that the welfare of the
State demands a change. 1t is ad-
mitted by many, and has for years
been admitted by many that Mis-
souri, would be much more pros
porous under Republican admin
istration than Democratic ad-
mlnistration. Prejudices which
unfortunately swayed the voter for
the last quarter of a century are
passing away and men see through
the light of reason. Reason teach
es that under Republican rule we
have prosperity and under Demo
cratic rule we have adversely. The
last five years teaches this, the last
ten proves it too conclusively for
any unprejudiced person to deny it.
Business interests demand that
Missouri be a Republican
State. If Republicans are careful
and make no mistake success is as
sured. Republican success will
not alone affect the Republican
party. The whole country is in
terested without regard to party.
The masses. of Republicans should
see to it that nothing is done to
disrupt the party. Dissention
breeders are abroad in the ranks.
These dissentions come from the
enemies of the party, whose object
is to perpetuate themselves in
office. No true Republican should
allow himself to be led astray by
anything Democratic papers may
say. If the Republicans of Mis-
souri, stick to the organization and
generalship which led to the last
victory, 1896, will see a Republi-
can Governor elected in the State
and such period of prosperity as
has not been known for years.

PENSIONS FOR THE EXEMPTS
Chief Moore and Others Preparing for
the Law
The Act Passed Last Harch Aims to Care
for the Volunteers Who Ran With
the Machine

The members of the old exempt fire
department of Los Angeles will meet on
June 18th, at which time the necessary
ways and means for the enforcement OF
the exempt pension law passed by the last
legislature are to be considered and
adopted.
The act, which was approved by the
governor on March 18th. requires that in
this city the mayor as soon as practicable
and as often as shall be necessary. ap-
point five citizens who shall be exemI t
firemen, who shall constitute the board
of trustees of the exempt tiremen's relief
fund.- which board shall dlsburse the
funds of relief. Each trustee shall hold
office for four years. The board shall
have a president and secretary, neither
OF whom shall receive any pecuniary
compensation. The city treasurer is
to act as ex-officio treasurer of the board.
The board of trustees having the ex-
empt fund i'll charge. must enroll every
exempt fireman who has been duly GER
titled to being such an exempt, and all
such eXempts can, in case oil emergency,
be assigned to do duty with the regular
fire department without pay, excepting
such as is provided in the law for relief.
The act requires an annual appropria-
tion of not more than $4,000 to be ex-
pended for relief and for other purposes.
The money is to be paid out only to
such iremen who after their enrolment
shall become disabled from injury. sick
ness or the intirmtes of age. No one
fireman is to receive any more than $25
month, and up to this sum the board
of trustees of the exempt association
shall be the absolute Judge, regulating the
amount Of relief really needed.
There are about one hundred exempt
tiremen at present,residing in this city all
of them being eligible to the provisions of
the new law.
Colonel Jake Kuhrts is president OF the
exempt mem bers of the Los Angeles fire
department and Chief Walter S. Moore of
the fire department is secretary OF the
association, which will. in about two
weeks, be regularly incorporated under the
provisions Of the law as outlined above.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Meeting at Illinois Hall Last Night a
Disappointment
Nothing New Presented About Individuaiism,
Although Nearly Everybody
Present Talked

The meeting held last evening in Illi-
nois hall for the purpose of discussing
the subject of individualsm was very
good example Of much ado about nothing {:
that is to say, there was much ado, and
nothing was accomplished beyond the
fact that after three solid nours of dis
cussion 1t was decided to give Professor
Search and the board of education each a
chance to tell what they know, and why,
in the hope that by that means the pub
lie may be better informed on the ques-
ton they were trying to talk to last night.
A committee of arrangem ents had en-
gagged the hall and the Revs. J. S. Thorn
son and J. w. Campbell each to give a
fifteen-Ininute talk on the subject. a
very large audience assembled. W. G.
Patterson presided, and shortly after 8
o'clock called the meeting to Iordcr. He
spoke of the subject tn at was to be under
advlsement as one of the greatest impor-
tance and one that would admit of honest
argument.
Mr.. Thomson spoke for individualsm,
strongly and to the point. Mr.. Cambpell
spoke almost as strongly against it, and
quoted various pamphlets to back up his
argument.
Mr.. Thomson inadvertently made one
or two stirring references to the board of
education which were vociferously ap
pauded by part of the audience. Mr..
Campbell. with equal artiessness, referred
to the little red school house. whereupon
another part of the audience, led by five
or six gray haired men on the front row,
gave vent to wild enthusiasm.
At the conclusion OF the regular
speeches everybody had chance, at five
minutes each. to speak to the question.
A great many men and several women
took advantage of the opportunity. They
talked at the subject and around it, under
and over it. and a very, very few spoke
to 1t directly and with much intelligent
torce; but they were misunderstood by
the rest. There was a strong feeling of
animus under the surface, and very
soon the whole main idea of the
meeting was lost sight of, lawyers spoke
at preachers. various members of the
they felt had been unjust innuendoes;
and personalities, recImlnations and va
rious other pleasantTieS were INDUCED in
that SO averted the real interest of the
meeting that finally the presiding Officer
was obliged to call order; he apologized
to the suffering audience, and ex-
planned that he had tried to be fair
to both sides, and had allowed much
profitess talk III consequence. Some
thing was said about adjournment when
Judge Sherman Page moved that the
people, through the committee already
appointed, invite Professor Search to
make a public statement with reference
to his position in regard to introducing
individualism into the schools, and that
the board of education be invited to reply
to him if they SO desire.
The motion was seconded and carried
and adjournment was made.

There is every probability that the

shortly reduced from Sl.25 to 81 from
those points where the first mentioned
figures prevail. There are about 1000 car
loads OF this fruit to be moved. Present
obtainable prices and present freight rates
make it improbable to ship, and the
