Threatens All Auopaths with Removal
from State Institutions.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May Gov.
Stephens was asked what he thought
of the resolutions adopted by the Cen
trail District Medical society at Mexico,
in which he was censured for placing
the Fulton lunatic asylum under the
control of the homeopathic. He said:
These resolutions remind me Of some adopt
ed by some gentlemen who met not many years
ago on q noted occasion. They resolved ID,
that this country is for the Lords people; re-
solved C), that we are the Lords people. and
therefore the earth and the fullness thereof is
ours, and We shall govern ourselves according
ly."
The governor added:
THE allopaths are not talking about me any
more bitterly than they are about themselves.
and If they can stand it 1 am sure 1 can. 1
never saw two OF them in my life agree u pom
any one proposition with the exception OF the
one that they despise the homeopaths and all
others who differ with them. 1 have, however.
no war to make upon them, and have treat
ed them since my Inauguration courteous
ly at all lines. Every state institution
in Missouri is in their control with
the exception OF the one at Fulton. 1 am a
natural born democrat. and 1 do not believe In
taxation without representation. The home
opaths of the state pay from one-fourth to one
third OF the taxes OF the state, and / think they
are entitled to some recognition at nv hands.
The Jaw recognizes them, and has given them
representation on the state board Of health.
In many of the states of the union thew
are given control of one or more of the
state institutions. and their records in every
instance have proved excellent and eri.
nently satisfactory to the public. and 1 see no
reason why they should be ignored in Missouri.
1 was elected on a platform which promised
equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
1 will say in this connection that. while it is not
my intention to make any threats, If the alIo-
pathic doctors continue to amuse themselves
by passing slanderous resolutions against me
because Of this action I will be forced to turn
over, instead OF one institution to the
homeopaths. every institution in the state to
them within the next two years"
rs it your intention to give the homeopatbs
equal representation on the state board of
health.
While the homeopaths are prevailing upon
me to do this. I have not yet made up my mind
that they are entitled to G iual representation.
However a committee OF homeopathic will wait !
upon me within the next few DAYS to present
their claims further. After hearing from them
! will give the matter careful consideration. ana
then decide what is the proper thing for me TO

Missouri Crops


The monthly crop report Of J. s. Rip
pey, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, issued May 8, said:
Wheat-The April report estimated q per
cent OF the acreage would be plowed up and
placed the condition Of remaining acreage at 65
per cent It was expected that an abundance OF
rain and warm weather would improve the
plant, but the conditions were not so favorable
as was hoped, and the injury to the plant was
greater than the first appearance indicated.
IT reports received and compiled to-day esti-
mate the acreage that will be plowed up at 81
per cent and the condition of the remainder at
q per cent. of an average crop.
Oats-Acreage for April was estimated at %
per cent, but continued rains in many localities
have reduced this to 81 per cent. compared with
1885. When sowed long enough to be up the
plant Is vigorous and promises well.
Corn-What has been planted is in fair condi-
ton, but the acreage planted on the LIST of Nav,
as compared with the same date for last season,
Is only 81 per cent. The total acreage. compared
with 1895, is estimated at l0I per cent, but much
bottom land that was expected to be seeded to
corn Is now under, and il the water does not re-
cede at an early date future estimates will
doubtless reduce this.
~Cotton-Seeding is progressing and in some
instances the plant is up. The acreage has de-
cllned 3 per cent, as compared with 1896.
1o~odcco-acreaS estimated at s. per cent
OF that OF 1896. Seed beds generally promising,

FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
The Feelings of Stranger in Pres
 colt Analysed by the Miner.

While Editor Martin of the Prescott Journal-Miner was enjoying himself in the How level country" of the Salt River valley this week the ana lytical genius left in charge of his office perpetrated the following, with the caption 'fFirst Impressions"
 ''The new arrival in Prescott, if he is at all observant, is confronted with social, business and climatic conditions that at once impress him favoraIbly.
 People are always very much like the climate in which they live. In a low level country where the atmos- phere is humid and warm the inhabi- tants are languid and have a slug gish, enervated activity. In a high and dry atmosphere, where the noun tains lift their rugged peaks into the sunkissed blue the people are rugged, cheerful, happy in disposition and move with an elasticity in harmony widh their environments.
 "Prescott's altitude, location and climate have given to it's people the latter characteristics and they stand out in marked contrast to those prev alent in other sections of the west.
 Here you find vigorous manhood and womanhood, the health of the community being gauged by the scarcity of mounds and inscribed grave stones in the cemeteries. So- cial pleasures are entered into with zest and genuine pleasure because the people are in condition to enjoy themselves In business, merchants and clerks go to their daily work chee1fuMy, happy in the knowledge that to labor when the conditions are right are the blessings all men cannot enjoy.
 Prescott is all right, her people are all right and the stranger wha comes to locate is always welcomed within her gates if he comes imbued with a desire to partake of the spirit of enterprise and activity that dom mates the city"
