This section of the state is natu-

the state. but the depression iii the
sheep and horse industries, in which
the farmers here were largely inter-
ested, has left them partially without
business. Some have resorted to
selling hay as Il means Of utilizing
their chief product, and Others are
entering into the work of dairying.
Though a little unsettled in their
work Just now, the intelligence OF
the farmers of this locality can be re-

SLANG WORDS AND PHRASES.
The Recent Origin of n Number In
Common Use.

Fayette, Mo-, March t, 1895.

The Recent Origin of Number In
Common Use.
Dun" is word whose meaning is
now known to every one who under
stands the English language, says tha
Boston Post. About the beginning
of the century constable in England
named John Dun became celebrated
as first-class collector of bad ac-
counts. When others would fail to
collect bad debt, Dun would be sure
to get it ont OF the debtor. 1t soon
passed into Il current phrase that
when person owed money and did
not pay when asked. he would have
to be ''Dunned. Hence it soon be-
came so common in such cases to
say: ''You will have to dun SO-and-
so if you wish to collect your money. ."
Until the nomination of Franklin
Pierce for the presidency the word
''outsider" was unknown. The com
mittee on credentials came to make
its report. and could not get into the
hall because of the crowd of people
who were not members of the con-
vention. The chairman of the con-
ventioned asked if the committee was
ready to report, and the chairman of
the committee answered, "Yes. Mr.
Chairman. but the committee is un
able to get inside on account of the
crowd and pressure of the outsiders. :"
The newspaper reporters took up the
word and used it.
"YOu are daisy" is used by Dick
ems in David Copperfield'' in the
sense of calling a person a daisy in
the way to express admiration and at
the same time to laugh at ones
credulity. Steerforth says to young
Copperfeld: David. my daisy, you
are so innocent of the world. Let
me call you my daisy. as it is so re-
freshing to find one in these current
days so innocent and unsophisticated.
My dear Copperheld. the daisies of
the field are not fresher than you.'
Too thin" was given currency by
Alexander Il. Stephens. of Georgia.
in the United States Congress in
1870. Some members had made a re-
ply to Mr.. Stephens. and the latter
had his chair wheeled out in the
aisle and said in that shrilI. piping
voice that always commanded silence:
Mr.. Speaker, the gentleman's argu-
ments are gratuitous assertions made
up ofwhoIe cloth-and cloth. sir. SO
gauzy and thin that it viii not hold
water. 1t is entirely too thin. sir.

The Anchor Line sale.

\ special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat" from New Orleans last
night says: THE sale OF the controll-
ING interest in the Anchor Line. as re-
ported in the dispatches from st.
Louis last night, confirms to certain
extent an interview with Capt. J. V.
Highbee. President of the Interstate
Transportation Company. several
weeks ago, at which time Capt. Higbee
stated that he was offered all the stock
he desired and sufficient to control the
Anchor Line. by Mr.. Benjamin Clark.
of Clark IL Sturtevant. for 25c on the
dollar, and such being the case, Mr..
Higbee stated he would renew the in
terview later. and thought that some
transaction might result. As MIR.
Benjamin Clark is reported as having
negotiated by purchasing the controll-
ing interest of the Anchor Line, it is
naturally supposed that he made the
purchase for the Interstate Transpor-
tation Company, or for Capt. j. V.
Higbee. Capt. Higbee, who is at
present in the city. refused to either
confirm or deny having made the pur-
chase. though from what he said. it is
probable that the deal was not yet
finally agreed.
The announcement that Il controlling
interest in the Anchor Line had been
bought by Eastern parties was read
with much surprise yesterday morning
by the steamboatmen here. The out
come of the deal will be watched with
much interest. as the boatsmen are
anxious to find out what kind of Il
revolution in the business the new
blood in the line will develop. y
radical change in the management is
expected. -Globe-DemOcrat.

Those Elusive Markets.

Farmers were assured over and over
again that if they would only turn in
and elect Cleveland and a Democratic
/ Congress prosperity on scale never
experienced by them before would at
once be at their doors to overwhelm
them with its blessings. Cleveland
and Democracy had scheme for
opening up 1.-The markets of the world =
to American farm products that was
certain to make every farmer rich in
almost no time. Beguiled by the al
Turing prospect, enough farmers were
caught by these assurances to insure
the triumph of Cleveladd and Democ-
racy in general. There have been two
years of it since. The first year show
ed up poorly for the farmers: but then
the administration was so busy turn
ing out the ''robber" Republicans to
put Democrats in their places that al
lowances We're possibly in order. The
second year, however. things would be
different, and ''the markets of the
world would be just fighting for
American farm products. We now
have seven months of the second fiscal
year to compare with the like seven
months of the first fiscal year, but by
some sort of necromancy the exhibit
made is just the opposite OF what
should have been expected. Instead
of marked increase in the second
year there has been decided falling
off in the demands for American
products. and the one conclusion to be
reached from the showing, therefore.
is that the farmer has been fooled

X. OF y. Banquet.

Tuesday nightwas an occasion of the
greatest brilliance in Pythian circles
this city has ever witnessed. An event
long to be remembered by allPythians.
1t was the occasion OF an official
visit made TO Lorimier Lodge, X. of p.
by Grand Chancellor. Jas. \. Frink
of the Grand Domain of Missouri.
His purpose being to hold lodge of
instruction for the members of the
order at their Castle Hall. His in
structions and many good ideas were
relished by all and his visit not only
stamped his personality upon the
members for its originality and beauty
but likewise for his erudition in
Pythian call. His earnestness was
impressive. Immediately after the
close OF the lodge, tine members found
themselves seated at table loaded
with all that epicurean taste could de-
sire. appropriately said: "A feast for
the Gods" 1t was a gathering of
Pythian enthusiasts with the central
head. Many were the toasts and re-
sponses. Many the earnest tokens Of
fered on behalf of the order and many
a brotherly cheer. At last the hour
of parting having arrived, and the last
toast and response given with reluct-
ance. closed the brightest event in
Pythian circles in this city. Long
will the visit of Grand Chancellor
Frink remain imbeded in the hearts
and minds of the Cape Pythians.

On Dancing.

One curious fact we have observed
with regard to dancing. This is, the
more deeply a church or individual
professor is stepped in the spirit OF
money grabbing, or intemperance,
the greater their abhorrence of dane
ing. This appears to be kind of
convenient scapegoat on which the
sins of the congregation are laid. that
they may be borne in the wilderness.
Let the preacher at any time submit
to a gag which shall. on some special
occasion, forbid his opening his
mouth for the dumb, or reproving a
wealthy distiller, or fat usurer, who
grinds the poor to pay pew rent, and
forthwith We get fresh anathema on
dancing. Show us awealthy deacOn's
wife who will haggle with widow to
get washing done for twelve and a
half cents dozen, and then pay her
in trade, or give two dimes and four
coppers for twenty five cents, and we
will show you one who will take a
spasm over the iniquities ola cotillion.
We never knew the rule to fail, and
have watched its workings so long
that whenever any one begins a lee
ture on dancing we suspect him or her
of being wOrshiper of mammon. Old

for JOY, but the man with the muck
rake was too busy. Nothing appears
better calculated to contend with the
hard. money-loving spirit of our age
Than music and dancing. 1t tends to
melt this hard crust which the dust of
edgers forms around the hearts of
our people. and there is no place to
which we should go with subscrip-
ion paper for charitable object with
more hope of success than a social
party where all are dancing to the
music of two good violins and a

SIX WILL HANG.
GOV. stone Not Likely to Interfere
With saturdays Executions.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, April 6.-In
this State there are six men under
sentence of death for murder and one
for rape, all to hang Saturday the
10th, unless Gov. Stone interferes.
Attorney Chas. holland was here to-
day to see the Governor in behalf of
Taylor, and gentleman and two
ladies to see him for HenZe and
Kaiser, but the Governor fatty re-
fused to hear arguments. He told
them that they could submit papers
and he would consider them, but that
he did not care to hear any oral argu-
ments.
Saturday is likely to be a grew
some day in Missouri, as it is thought
that Gov. Stone will refuse to inter-
fere in behalf of any one of the seven
condemned men.

Japan \ CiviliZer.

Japan. after comparatively short
campaign, has thrashed China and
obliged the latter country to accept
terms of peace that are extremely
CALLING. In other words, nation of
10000, 900 of people has put under sub
lection a nation of 400, 600, 900.
1t is interesting and profitable to
consider the causes that led to this
remarkable achievement. A good
deal of the mystery is cleared away
when we assert that the Japanese are
both patriotic and self-sacrifcing. The
Chinese, on the other hand. are self
indulgent and have little or no love
of country.
From the outset of the struggle.
civilized nations extended their sym
pathy to Japan. 1t seemed plain that
any Improvement in Chinas status
must be brought about By heroic
treatment. Even Ii Hung Chang
realized this, and now acknowledges
that the higher interests of civiliza-
ton have been subserved by his coun-
try's defeat.
The influence of Japan on China is
sure to be beneficial. The Chinese
are a clever and in many respects an
admirable people, but they have been
held back by narrOwness of view
and a retroactive disposition that is
bound to disappear under Japan's
progressive treatment.-N. Y. journal.

INCOME TAX RETURNS.
Indications that Many Persons Have
Failed to Comply with the Law.

Indications that Many Persons Have
Failed to Comply with the Law.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 16.-The
following instructions were to-day
sent to all Internal Revenue Collectors:
I'm case of incorrect income tax re-
turns now filed in your Office, you will
notify the persons who filed such re-
turns that they must appear within
reasonable time, specifying the date
and place for appearance, and cor
rect or explain said returns, and that
on their failure to appear and make
said corrections, you will correct and
! increase the amount of such returns,
stating the particular corrections
which shall be made and the amounts
by which said return will be increased.
Where persons and corporations
liable to make return have neglected
and refused TO make return, and where,
in your opinion, false or fraudulent
returns have been filed. you will give
notice on form 1863 to the delinquents,
and to those who made such false or
fraudulent returns, to appear and
show cause why penalties shall not be
assessed against them.
''An returns made by taxpayers for
1894, except such as are delayed by
reason of appeals, must be completed
and forwarded to this Office not later
than the 18th day of May next. -
Although no official statement of
the facts would be given out to-day
for publication it is believed that the
returns received to-day show almost
conclusively that a large number of
persons in all parts of the country
who are subject to the income tax
have not made any return of their in
comes. The proportion of these to
the whole number liable to the, tax is
by some placed as high as 10 per
cent. This state of things is some
thing of surprise to the officials, al
though it was expected that the division
of the Supreme Court on the cOnstitu-
of the tax as whole would
have the affect of discrediting it with
a large number of taxpayers, who
would take the risk of paying so per
cent penalty rather than make their
This assumption has proven
to have been correct, and the result
must necessarily be an assessment of
the penalty in a large number of cases.
as the officials no doubt will strictly
enforce the act so long as it remains
the law of the land. No figures of
any value as to returns can be had
before tomorrow.

Church, South, are Warned
Against Recognizing Him.


Against Recognizing Him.
Mr.. Deering has been working as an
evangelist in the bounds of the South
west Missouri Conference. claiming to
be a local preacher of the NJ. f.
Church, South. and so represented
himself in letter to a preacher in my
district last fall. Hearing conflicting
reports about his ecclesiastical re-
latiOns, on meeting him in Jefferson
City in March, | asked him where his
membership was, and he replied that
it was in our church in st. Louis.
then wrote to DR.. Messick. z. E. of
the st. Louis District, who replied
that Mr.. Deering was not a local
preacher in that district. / notified
Mr.. Deering of the discrepancy be-
DR.. Messick. to which he gave no
answer. Meeting the pastor of our
church at Jefferson City, I.gave him
the facts. and he went to Mr.. Deering.
who admitted to him that he had no
connection with our church anywhere.
The preachers and members of the
NJ. E. Church. South, in the BoOnville
District, are hereby warned against
recognizing Mr.. Deering as a preacher.
