The Capital Question.

The question as TO whether the
capital should be removed to Sedalia
is of vast Importance to the people
of Missouri As it is to come before
the individual voter, every citizen in
the state should study it carefully
before rendering his decision. AS it
stands, Sedalia proposes to raise the
funds necessary to the erection of
complete capitol building, without
any cost to the state.
It is an admitted fact that come
change must be made in the present
state buildings-their condition
makes remodeling, atleast, absolute
ly necessary. If Sedalia carries out
her pledges faithfully,which she will,
new set of buildings can be erected
more cheaply than We can repair the
old ones at Jefferson City Again,
the present buildings are not IL
keeping with the advancement of
our state. It is shame that Mis-
souri,, the pride of the central states
should have capital which places
her at such disadvantageous contras
with her sister states,
Again Sedalia is more centrally
| located, and her accessibility scores
great point in her favor. Taking
these things into consideration, ane
the sincere promises of the city o
Sedalia. the Advertiser believes tha
it would be breach of policy on tn
part of the voters of Missouri to re
fuse the removal of the capital

4. K. [, Urges Railway Employees TO
Vote-Alle2ed Coercion Of Em-
ployees Denounced.
Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 10.-The
directors of the American Railway
Union have issued an address to all
members of the A. r. Z and to all
railway employees in the United
States, denouncing the coercion of
railway employees to join Mckinley
sound money clubs and calling on
all wage earners to vote for Bryan.
The address declares that it is not
free silver alone that has enraged
railroad moloch, but the attack in
the democratic platform on govern
ment by injunction.
The election OF Mckinley, the cir
cuIar says. would mean the perpetu'
alton OF government by injunction,
the supremacy Of TIE corporations
and the helpless subsection of en-
ploYees.
The democratic platform IS com.
mended. In conclusion the address
says:
I'VE pledge our united aud un

ployees and all workingmen to join

A PRETTY SiOnT.
Friendship That Sprang Up Between a
 Bison and Deer.


 The bison of India has never been kept long in captivity, except in tho case of one bull, which is now in the possession of his highness the mahara- jah of Mysore.
 How this bull came to survive, when so many of his fellows had succumbed. is very pretty story. It is related by the author of ''Gold, Sport and Coffee Planting in Mysore, who took it down from the lips of his neighbor, MT. Park, who captured the animal, and was knowing to all the details of the story.
 When captured the bull was supposed to be about three days old. A week afterwards a young doe sambur, pur- sued by jungle dogs, ran into laborer's cottage, and was made prisoner.
 It was decided to keep the deer as a companion for the bison, and the two were accordingly kept together, though never shut up.
 They were fed on milk and then al- lowed to graze, and soon became insep- arable. They were fed at twelve o'clock and at four in the afternoon, and seemed to know their feeding time ex actly.
 When the bison was two years old it was thought time to fit him with nose rope. He was tied to tree, his nose bored, and he was liberated. He ran all about the grounds, and then, for the first and only time, he was heard to below.
 After this he was regularly led out to graze. The sambur would sometimes remain behind, but seemed to have no difficulty in finding him, but, putting her nose to catch the scent, would start at once in the right direction.
 The bison had no such power, and if ever he missed his companion would go wandering about till he found her.
 When the bull was three years old he was presented to the maharajah and was sent off to the nearest railway sta tion-some sixty miles away.
 The doe soon noticed his absence, held up her nose as usual, got the di- rection, and, when the bull was five or six miles away, she overlook him. He showed the most extreme delight, and the two travelled happily together to Mysore.
 MT. Park saw the bull in 1891, and two or three years afterwards MT. Elliot was glad to learn that the bison and the deer were still inseparable companions and both in excellent health.
 He believes that the bull would long ago have pined away and died but for the society of the doe.

A CORNER FOR SPORTS.

A HANDSOME football challenge shield has been presented by the lieutenant governor of Bengal for competition in India by teams of native boys. They play the association game.
 BULL fighting has received its qui- etus in France. The cours de cassa- tion, to which the cases that arose last summer were submitted, has decided that bull is domestic animal and cannot be lawfully tortured.
 J. H. TIERS, the English amateur swimming champion, recently beat his own record by swimming at Edinburgh 22O yards in 3 minutes and S9 4-5 sec onds. The same evening he swan 160 yards in 1 minute and 51 seconds.
 FINLAND must be sportsman's par adise. In ten years 90,0O0 domestic an- imals, including 24,OO0 reindeer, were destroyed by wild beasts, and in that time HOO bears, 1900 wolves, 5000 lynxes and foxes, 19,OO0 ermines, and 5e,OoO birds of prey, eagles, hawks, etc., were killed.

SURVIVAL OF BARBARITY.

It Is Manifested in the Modern Love for
 Jeweiry and Ornaments.
 Personal adornments made out of money current in this and other realms rank with fish bones thrust through noses as guide for forming an opinion as to the degree and kind of cultivation possessed by. the wearer, says the New York Times. Antique coins at the end of a mans watch chain, or as links in a wonlan's girdle, are not altogether ob- jectionable, but the withdrawal of quarter eagles or whole sovereigns from general circulation for use in the decoration of either public bar-rooms or private waists, can only result from survival of savage instincts. Every instance of it offends numberless canons of good taste and more than sev- eral canons of ordinary morality. Hence it is possible to reflect with tolerable equanimity, and even with a certain grim joy, upon the loss just sustained by a much bewritten and apparently more admired visitor to our town and stage, of fifteen British gold pieces and thirty-fve American ones. These she was taking, it seems, not sedately and properly to a savings bank, but in clear violation of esthetic laws to a jewellers shop, there to be cunningly united into a most barbarous zone. That some guardian divinity made impossible this purposes accomplishment is thorough ly and wholly well. The coins, indeed, are lost, and they had intrinsic value, being gold, and sentimental meaning, being marked with the initials of for mer owners, but for advertising uses they remain as effective as before. Neither the kindly youth, whose mu- nifcence they recorded, nor the sprightly nymph, whom they (the coins) were tenderly to embrace, will lan- guiSh unremarked.

A Sheep-KiIling Parrot.

Among the remarkable birds of New Zealand is the greenish-gray nocturnal parrot of the genus Strigons, which lives in burrows and resembles an owl; and still a more singular parrot, the Nestor notabilis, which the English have come to regard as dangerous nuisance. The English, as is well known, introduced sheep farming into New Zealand, as well as into Australia. Now these parrots have acquired the habit of perching upon the backs of the sheep and excavating holes therein with their formidable bills in order to extract the kidneys. The fact is so much the more curious in that it can not be attribute to an innate instinct, since previous to the arrival of the English these birds had never seen sheep, nor even any animal of analo- gous conformation, the fauna of New Zealand including scarcely a single mammal. We know, moreover, that in entire Oceanica there are no other mammals except marsupials. There is here, then, on the part of these birds an act of intelligence and even of cal culation, so much the more curious in that it is certainly complicated with a phenomenon of language or analogous communication. It is true that the birds are parrots, but the fact is none the less worthy of remark. = Revue Francaise.

 Yet there was tinge of reproof in her tone.
 "George!"
 She said it only once in reality, but it is customary with story writers to say George" twice under these cir cumstances.
 What is it?"
 "You have been squeezing my hand with great regularity and emphasis for some time"

 ''Please don't do it any more," and her voice dropped almost to whisper. "No more?" This sounded like heart throbs of anguish, and his form shook with emotion.

 "Because"-she faltered.
 "Go on.'

LACK OF ORDER.
The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.

The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.
 The Chinese are an untidy race, whose cities in their native country are frightfully unclean, and whose special quarters in our cities are apt to afford anxiety to boards of health. The Jap anese, on the contrary, are extremely cleanly, orderly and neat; and one of the stories told of Chinese soldiers in the present war tends to show that this difference has played no small part in determining victory or defeat.
 The Japanese are armed with mod ern weapons, of which they take ex- cellent care, and which they handle with skill and efficiency. A lady writ ing from China says that the Chinese troops are provided with curious va. riety of European arms, obsolete. ancient and new; and that cartridges for perhaps twenty different makes are all served out together.
 In Manchuria she actually saw cart ridges piled carelessly on the ground, mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps like potatoes and short, fat and thin, all mixed together, and soldiers fitting them to their guns, trying them, and throwing away those which were too large or too small!''
 No wonder the Chinamen do not stand before the Japanese. As soon as the cartridges each man happens to carry are exhausted he can only de- pend on one chance in twenty of get ting any more that he can use. He sell dom waits that chance; he runs, and throws his useless rife promptly away that he may run the faster.-London Spectator.
