TINE NEWSPAPER LAW.
All Subscribers Should Read the
Following Law anu Avoid
Trouble.

l. All Subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered Wishing to continue
their subscription.
Q. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send it
until all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals from the
Office to which they are directed,
they are responsible until they have
settled their bills and ordered them
discontinued.
4. Subscribers moving to tn or
places without informing the i" b.
Usher, and the papers are sent tosthe
former address, they are held respon-
sibls.
3. The courts havs decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, Is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
8. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it, and the subscriber
viii hs responsible until an express
nntirs with all arrearages are sent to
shs publisher.
T. The latest laws are such that
hsr.oaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes paper and
refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid, and then orders the
postIaastsr to mark it "refussd" and
have q postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same IS for theft.

The InvsntIon Of tho Thin BILE.

There is a rich family of the name
Of Lofting in England, the fortune of
whose house was founded by such an
apparently insignifcant thing as the
thimble. The first ever in England
was m ade in London less than two
hundred years age by q metal worker
named John Lofting. The useful
ness of the article commended it at
once to all who used the needle, and
Lofting acquired large fortune. The
implement was then called the thumb
bell, it being worn on the thumb
when in use, and its shape suggesting
the rest OF the name. This clumsy
mode of utilizing it was soon changed,
however, but tho name softened into
"thimbls" remains.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-In the re-
tirement of Justice Stephen Field the
opportunity is given for the advance
ment of Attorney-General McKenna
to the Supreme bench, but the vacancy
in the cabinet will not, according TO
political gossip, cause a general REQ =
ganization Of the Presidents official
family. Nathan Goff of West Vir-
ginia, who served in Congress with
Maj. Mckinley, and who declined in
February last 10 leave the United
States Circuit bench FOR the cabinet,
ha; again received an offer OF the po-
sition of Attorney General. 1t is not
believed he will accept. w. J. Cal
hOun Of Illinois, VINO was the special
commissioner to Cuba, is next in

bered that Mr.. Calhoun, after his re

The Body Destroyed by Lime or Soda
but the Skeleton StIlI Intact.
y barrel containing a human 5kele-
ton was found lodged at the waters
edge in the Mississippi River this
friday morning in front Of the Mat
teson Paint Mill in this city. The bar
rel had dropped to pieces and left ex-
posed 10 viewthe skeleton of q human.
The skeleton is enclosed In some
thing resembling lime or soda. The
bones were soft and there no smell
from the skeleton, and it is supposed
that the body had been in the barrel
several months. How the barrel came
where it vas found is a mystery. It
does not look possible that such a
heavy bulk of lime or soda would
float, but it was partly in the water
when found and it was surely carried
there by the water.

The Anti-Profanity Crusade.


An organized crusade against pro-
family. prompted, no doubt. by the
Tammany war cry formulated by Asa
Bird Gardiner or Gardner, has been
started in Brooklyn, and the partici-
pators in the movement will have the
earnest good wishes OF all decent as
we'll of all pious people. Leaving
aside the wickeducss OF prOfane ian
guage, its uselessness in any except
special lines of industry, like the driv-
ing OF mules and the putting down OF
carpets. is obvious to all. and the fact
that oaths DO not give positive joy to
any except utterly brutalized hearers,
and do cause more or less annoyance
and pain to. everybody else, makes
their employment by otherwise re-
spectacle people a piece Ofdiscourtesy
so gross as to be not less unpardon-
able than mysterious. 1t is curious
that AnglO-SaXons, who are more
given to profanity than the members
of any other race. are also most Sc
we're in their condemnation of il. ana
extend the ban TO words intrinsically
harmless. Those speakers Of English
who do not swear al allrefrain almost
as carefully from mentioning the devil
or his abode in ordinary discourse as
they do from taking holy names in
vain, while Frenchmcn and French
women, whose language Is practically
destitute Of what We would call oaths.
and who therefore never swear in the
English sense, constantly use, without
intending or giving otTenseto the most
scrupuious ears, The name which ha-
bitually prolane Englishmen and
Americans refrain from employing as

"&rand Old Mizzoury."

The Columbia School Board, in
solemn assemblagc, has decided that
the proper pronunciation of the name
of this imperial commonwealth is Miz
zoury. Herca fter in the school district
Of Columbia, so far as the public
schools are concerned, this is settled.
1t is only in late years that there has
been any diEcrncr Of opinion upon
this subject. The Oid-fashioned said

educated the latter. Recently. how
ever, therehas sprungup in this State
a preference for pronunciation that
gives the kissing sound OF IS" 10 the
letters and we hear. among our newly
imported friends. that thenamc should
be M-i-s-s-u-u-r-i. This is not Ell
phOnious: il is contrary to established
usage; 1t Is incorrect. 1t IS a fad that
should not be transplanted into our
State. y man has moral and q
legal right to pronounce his name as

The Business OF This City.

That the general business of Cape
! Girardcau Is increasing in volume all
our business men are ready to admit.
We have dull seasons and dull days
but that our general trade is growing
IS plain to everybody. The merchant
who a few years ago was satisfied to
carry five or six thousand dollar
stock now does no1 consider himself
an up to date merchant with less than
ten to twenty thousand dollars worth
of goods, and there are stores here
that can show twenty-five or thirty-five
thousand dollars worth OF goods. o
keep their stocks up our mere ats
make monthly trips to the who,es lie
market centers for new supplies.
These trips 90 to show that our mer-
chants are doing steady and in
creasing business.
There are stores at nearly every
crossing in the country in this section
but they do not seem TO head OFF the
trade from this city. In fact they seem
to give Us an increase of business.
Many OF these country stores get their
supplies from the big stores in this
city and we now have one merchant,
David y. Glenn, who is doing an i'm
mense jobbing business. He is fur
about forty country stores
with all the goods they sell. These
country merchants cando as well here
as they can do in St. Louis and they
find that they can save time and
get their goods quicker from this city
than they can from St. Louis.
What We need here 10 further in
crease our trade is one big Wholesale
dry goods house. This. with the
grocery house We already
have, would make our city headquart- |
ers for all the country merchants for
4 circle of one hundred miles.
