At a recent meeting Of the council a
committee was appointed and instructed
to speak to the teamsters of the city and
try to induce them adopt the four n tire
for their wagons instead of the narrow
ones in use at present. The narrow tires
do a great deal more damage to the streets
than the wide tires which are also said to
pull more easily. As an inducement for
the adoption of the wide tires the team
sters are allowed q rebate on the license
they have to pay to the city which will
enable them to get the new tires with lit
tie or no cost to themselves. This is o
wise move on the part of the city council
and should meet with the approval of all.
Centralia (Mo.) Courier: "We see in
the Post Dispatch of the 18th inst, where
a Columbia man has worn a lone collar
button for nineteen years. That isn't in
1t a little bit. We have q man in this
burg who has worn q gold collar button
for forty years. 1t was given him as a
birthday gift in 1857. Inlthat year he went
to California with a drove of sheep. After
that he was in Oregon, Idaho, Montana,
British Columbia, Mexico, Washington,
Nevada, went all through the southern
states during the war, ran the blockade
Bermuda Islands, then TO the city OF Ha-
vana, San Domingo, Porto Rico, st.
Thomas and Jamaica, thence to Colon and
across the Isthmus OF Panama, on the
Pacific ocean to San Francisco and back
to MissourI-wearing the button all the
time and he is wearing 1t to this day"
Now let's hear from the man who has lost

Prof. E. G. White has been elected prin-
cipaI of the Kansas City high school, to
succeed Prof. Buchanan, who recently
resigned. Prof. White Is one of the best
known educators in this state and has
before occupied the important position he
now holds. In 1872 be was elected princi-
pal of the Kansas City Central high school
and continued principal OF that school for
fifteen years, when he was forced to resign
in order that he might attend to his rea
estate interests. A few years later he was
elected vice-principal and has been con-
nected with the school ever since. He has
for a number of years taught only the
Latin lang uage and is one of the most
competent instructors in that branch Of
learning to be found in the west. Prof.
White was born in Lafayette county and
the early part OF his life was spent here,
He was for several years principal OF the
Dover high school when Dover was a we'll
known &c educational center. His selection
will be gratifying to his many friends
throughout thes state.
