WE ARE ADVANCING.

The evolution of newspaperdom in
Southeast Missouri is marked. Com
pare the press of this section today
with the press of a few years ago
aud you will find that as regards
quality and quantity of reading the
improvements will reach at least
ene hundred per cent.
Speaking Of newspapers, it might
be well to call attention to the fact
that Cape Girardeau county has the
homliest lot OF newspaper men in
the Southeast. While Flynn is witty,
Ben. Adams cheeky, and Hoffman
patient, the X-rays could neverpene-
trste sufficiently to make a good

At Jackson we have Mcclure, Kies

H.roine Of Fast Trip Dead.

Edith NJ. Day, the young woman
who made fast flying trip around
the United States and through
Mexico and the railroads of the two
republics three years ago as test
of their travelling accommodations, is
dead. The novelty Of Miss Days
trip consisted Of travelling 10000
miles in ls days without touch
ing the earth, passing from one train
to another alongside without alight
ing. The journey was an enterprise
on the part of the local railroad com.
panies, the intention being to offset
the attraction which was at thai
time to be provoked by a very siini-
lar journey which was to be made
under the supervision Of Chicago
railroad officials. The young lady
who was made the envy Of Chicago
was Miss Bess Mitchell. Both left
their respective starting places on
the same date. Miss Day beat Miss
Mitchell one day. Miss Day was q
resident of Portland, Ore, but died
in this city.-San Francisco Chron.

st. Louis Court or Appeals.

We rise to a question OF privilege.
The ST. Louis Court of Appeals en-
braces within its jurisdiction the
following counties north of the
Missouri river: Clark, Knox, Lewis,
Lincoln, Marion, Monroe, Montgom-
cry, Pike, Rails, ST. Charles, Scot
land, Shelby and Warren, which to-
gether will have 60 votes in the
nominating convention. From that
part of the State VIM. H. Biggs, of
Pike county, received the nomination
and was elected in 1883.
The city of ST. Louis, having but
60 votes in the convention, has been
favored with the nomination and
election of r. E. Rombauer, in 1854
and of H. ". Bond, in 1892, so that
all three of the present judges hail
from that city and the small portion
of the district lying north of the
Missouri river. Judge Rombauer's
term expires this year and some one
must be elected to fill his place. He
is a Republican.
South of St. Louis the following
counties make up the remainder of
the judicial district: Barry, Boil
linger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Car
ter, Christian, Crawford, Dent,
Douglas, Dunklin, Franklin, Greene,
Howell, Iron, Jefferson, Lacede,
Lawrence, Mcdonald, Madison,
Mississippi, New Madrid, Newton
Oregon, Ozark, Pemiscot, Perry,
Phelps, Pulaski, Reynolds, Ripley,
St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, St.
Louis, Scott, Shannon, Stoddard,
Stone, Taney, Texas, Washington,
Wayne, Webster and Wright, with a
vote in the nominating convention
amounting to 12l, within 8 votes of
the combined vote of the two favor
ed portions of the district and with
out any one to represent it.
Recently the judicial Committee of
this Eastern District slyly met and
published short notice of call for
the convention, as We are informed,
to meet in st. Louis, but no paper in
Southeast Missouri seems to have
seen it. Following the meeting OF
the committee was published in the
st. Louis papers ''non-partisan
call on Judge Rombauer torun again,
signed by every Democratic corpora.
tion and gold-bug lawyer in St. Louis
followed later by petitions signed
by numerous Republican lawyers
outside of ST. Louis.
All this appears to US very suspi
cious. The southern part of this dis,
trict is entitled to the judgship, this
time and can get it unless We, too,
are bound, hand and foot, to the rail,
road and other corporations. Suppose
we wake up and make a fight. II
may be that all the patriotism, all
the talent, all the law knowledge is
confined to ST. Louis and the counties
north of it, but we don't believe it.

DISHES MADE OF PAPER
Described ~ Light, Cheap. Durable

Described ~ Light. Cheap. Durable
and Beautifully Enameied.
Machinery for shaping plates,
dishes and other ware from paper
pulp has been introduced into this
country and Germany with fair re-
suits. The dishes are shaped almost
entirely by compression; heavy
plungers, fitted with correctly
shaped flanges, and forced upon fat
sheets Of the pulp, and, the outer
rim of each fange being fitted with
cutting devices, q plate is cut, shaped,
compressed and made ready for bak-
ing at one operation.
A new feature which has not as
yet been heralded, owing to its re-
cent perfection, is process Of plat
ing the dishes to initiate china, sill
yer, etc. II the usual enameling
methods were employed the cost Of
the paper dishes would be so greatly
increased that the ordinary kinds Of
ware would be cheaper; consequent
ly one Of the main elements sought
in substituting paper pulp for other
substances in articles Of commercial
interest and value is absent. Even
II the paper ware were lighter,
stronger, smoother and neater in
appearance, the selling would be
diminished II the price had to be
made higher than that of crockery.
The aim Of the new process is,
therefore, to enamel or plate the pa.
per pulp dishes with q substance as
effective as the best used in crockery
manufacture, and at the same time
very inexpensive. This substance Is
procured from waste silk.
Defective cocoons, cocoons con.
tanning a double end, waste made in
winding, waste procured from the
silk factory, floor sweepings from
the silk mill, and, in fact, everything
pertaining to silky wastes, are util-
lied. Tho waste is gathered, dried,
cut up, ground, and then dissolved.
The field for its use has been very
limited, and it is consequently q
cheap substance.
Sometimes two or more baths are
needed to effect a good coating Of
the silky material; sometimes only
one. Some grades of pulp, especial.
ly that made from the white woods,
have little affinity for this silk waste
enamel; but this is remedied by first
dipping the dishes into a bath OF
strong sulphuric acid, after which
the plating sets all right.
If the liquor is from the waste silk
direct, o sort Of silvery and glossy
tint is produced, and the plating is
very beautiful; but any shades are
available by dyeing the solution with
indigo, logwood, prussiate Of potash,
extracts, etc. Pure white is obtained
by the use of the same coloring mate.

After the plates have received the
enameling the usual finishing proc.
esses of tableware follow, thus com.
pleting the goods for the market.
The meritorious features Of the plate
and like ware made from such light,
durable and elastic stock as paper
pulp are we'll known. The clements
worthy of notice in the plating proc
ess are cheapness, casting qualities
of the plating, gloss, smoothness,

1T seems that the Rev. Irl Hicks
continues to catch suckers with his
weather predictions and his almanac.
The only merit about Hicks and his
predictions is that on every day for
which he predicts he manages to use
such language as will cover all sorts
of weather. The NEwsBoY man can
do as well. Suppose we should at
tempt to predict the weather for
next week and say that in case Jupi-
ter jumped over Marrs there would
be a disturbance in the elements
likely to cause wind and rain, which,
in some sections, might develop into
water-spouts and cyclones; but if
Marrs should jump over Jupiter,
then the elements would likely be
calm, with rising temperature.
With such predictions, who could
question our ability as weather
prophet, and how could we miss the
weather,

why Not Improve Roads.

There is nothing that so materially
helps county as good roads. At
every term of county court large
amounts are allowed for this and
that, but very few allowances are
made that really benefit the tax
payers.
One of the poorest kept up, and
one of the most travelled roads in
Scott county is the road between
Benton and Oran. A few hundred
dollars appropriated by the county
court would scrape down the steepest
hills and make that road passable
during all seasons. 1t is road over
which the greater portion Of the
wheat of this section must be hauled.
Actual farmers and settlers do
not feel as if they could afford to SUBJ
scribe fabulous amounts to build
roads, because they are actual set
tiers and consider that they pay tax
es sufficient to build necessary high
ways.
In this the ordinary farmer is
right. When he pays on his little
forty acres he pays more than his
proportion, and does not feel like SUBJ
scribing an additional amount for
public improvements. But the tax
dodger does not mind coming in be-
fore the county court and asking for
an appropriation of a hundred or two
to build a levee that benefits no one
but himself.
The news boy., 1896-06-13
AN EYE-OPENER.

Last Mondays convention should
be an eye-opener to the common peo-
pie of Scott county. 1t was con-
vention similar to those of former
years which caused our farmers to
drift from the Democratic ranks and
join the Populist party, which, at
one time, numbered nearly one
thousand strong in this county and
came so near defeating Hon. Marsh.
Arnold for Congress in his own
county.
1t is true that the Marshall men
had majority. No one expected
Mr.. Marshall to be defeated in his
own county when no other man was
here to oppose him, yet, just because
they had a majority it does not seem
that it was necessary for the bosses
TO have everything cut and dried be-
fore they entered the convention hall
and then railroad it through without
giving the minority even hearing
on any question.
At Saturdays precinct coventions.
at Morley, Benton, New Hamburg
and Kelso, where the opposition to
Marshall was sufficiently strong to
control, no such tactics were resorted
to. Every man was allowed hear
ing. At Benton was probably the
bitterest contest and although the
opposition was nearly two to one,
the friends of Marshall were heard
without interruption and allowed TO
place their delegates in nomination.
One delegate at time was nomi-
mated and voted upon and while it
was known that the delegates
elected were opposed to Marshall
they refused to take advantage Of
their majority and instruct against
him; and it will not be disputed that
the delegates elected at the above
named towns represented the true
sentiment OF their people when they
opposed Mr.. Marshall.
But at the county convention il
was different. The bosses prepared
the different lists OF delegates ant
handed them to their lieutenants
At the convention lieutenant No.
would bob up. read off his list o
delegates and move that they b
chosen. Lieutenant No. 2 woul(
second the motion and, sometimes
before the chair had an opportunit,
to announce the result, lieutenan
No. was up with his list. Ever
the right to vote by townships wa
denied in order to prevent the oppo
sition from showing its strength.
1t was the old crowd in harnes
again, and we only wished for Bill.
Moore, so that he might see how wei
they remem bered their old tricks. l
is this crowd that proposes to aban
don the primary system in Scot
county in the nomination of count.
candidates. They are not meetin:
with the best of success under th'
Australian system, where the vote
is permitted to enter a booth ant
make out his own ticket. They pre-
fer to handle him in convention
where the shadow OF a mortgage will
be very convincing argument as t
how he shall vote.
Another argument against conver
tions is the fact that the calling c
them is usually manipulated by thes
politicians and they are general
called at time when the farmer
busiest. While we polled 2,276 vote
in the Democratic primary last Apri
we are satisfied that not exceedin
250 Democrats took part in til
different precinct conventions las
Saturday. Farmers refuse toatten
conventions because they are alway
manipulated by two or three mel
and the presence of the farmer cut
but little figure.
