The History of Missouri.

The Missouri Text Book Commission
has very properly determined to have
the history of Missouri taught in the
public schools, and hence has adopted
Perry s. Raiders History of Missouri
and Civil Government, n volume of
some four hundred pages and admir-
ably adapted for its purpose. The re-
tail price of the book is seventy five
cents, and the price per mail postage
prepaid eighty-five cents, and the
wholesale price sixty-six cents. That
every child should know the history of
his own state is as important as that he
should be familiar with the history of
any other part of the world, and it is
to be hoped that the book will lie
taught in every school in the state. The
publisher is i. w. Stephens, of Column
bIa, Missouri, who, like the author, ia
a native of Missouri, making the work
peculiarly q Missouri product. Orders
accompanied by the cash mailed TO
MIR. Stephens at Columbia, will be
promptly filled. 1t will be noted that
the book, in addition to being a history
of the state comprises the civil govern
ment of Missouri and of the United
States, and hence under the law sup
plants ali other work on civil govern
ment heretofore used in the public
schools of the state.

This led to the colonization of Texas

From and after '4y in California,
while the gold fever lasted. California
might have been SAID to be divided
into the Missourians and the other

THE BUCKET SHOP MUST GO.

Prosecuting Attorney VivIon TOOK a
long step in the right direction when
he started to close the Higginsville
ssbucket shops" The bucket shop is
a detriment not only to the farmers,
but to every town in which it is located.
It's II feeder for gambling houses and a
wrecker OF fortunes. II has nc place
in IA law-abidlng city. We know that
the operations of such men as Francis,
Orthwein and others have gwen deal
ing in options some apparent respect
ability, but that responsibility Is only
apparent. Dealing in futures is not
any better in its last analysis than
betting against an unseen hand of
cards, or gambling on the speed of a
horse.
Big men who have made big fortunes
out of dealing in futures are being
held up as examples 10 the American
boy us self made men. The American
boy at once understands the methods
uCuullGu W inihC iuCSC SAN"S
and he plnnges his little salary into
the pit. Nine lose where one wins As
a game of chance there is nothing in
the gambling category that equals it.
Ii matters not in what community Il
bucket shop is operated. if it is opera
ted for any length of time some of its
victims will find their way into the
state prison as embezzlers, forgers, or
other kinds of criminals. It's a feeder
for the ~penitentiary and the poor.
house. We don't care how respect
able the man may be who runs it tr
no y respectable may be the men who
patronize It.
Prosecuting Attorney Vivion has
taken n bold step, but it is the right
step. IL is one more demonstration of
the fact that the people of this county
have placed a faithful man in the pros
ecuting attorneys Office. In closing
the bucket shops Mr.. Viviou will be
reinforced by the prayers of every
Lafayette county mother and the
of every citizen who recog-
nizes gambling to be gambling, it
matters not who be the gamblers.

behalf of the silver papers: "The
weekly newspaper plows the ground,
sows the seed, cnltivates the crop-and
so often is forced to step aside while
those who neither planted nor cultiva-
ted reap the ripened grain. The

which you support and tie party you
love will be immeasnrably strengthened

will step into the Office of your local

complainngly keeping alive the spark
OF the rue democracy and pay your

The Daughter of Cher Justice Fuller a
Victim of Appendicitis.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 24.-Mrs. Hugh
Wallace, daughter of Chief Justice Mel
vile w. Fuller, is dying of appendicitis
at Ashford's farm, at the base of Mount
Rainier. Doctors Yocum and Hickman
and Mr.. Wallace are at the bedside,
doing everything possible to save her
life. 1t is considered doubtful if she
can live two days.
The doctors have decided that she is
too weak to undergo an operation.
Messengers are kept on the road be-
tween Ashford and Tacoma, carrying
medicines up and bringing in bulletins
of her condition. These are wired to
Chief Justice Fuller, who is sojourning
at a Maine summer resort.
