Hannibal Journal shows just how
organisation brings industries:
The enterprise being displayed by
Hannibal lie attracting wide attention.
During the past three months here

Contributed a7, 500 to a shoe factory
enterprise.
Contributed 5000 to street fair.
Contributed e4,iOo TO . trade bring
ing gravel road ia Illinois.
Contributed $500 70 savsrton gravel
road.
Raised eaOO TO entertain the dairy
men and then lost the meeting because
ws happened to be too close to Louis
lana, where the association met last
year.
This foots up about e15,OOo contrib
ussd by the live, wids-awaks business
men Of Hannibal within about ninety
days. And the Investment win prove
a wiss one.
Live business organizations make
great cities, especially when backed
by liberal public.

Tha Prohibition Vote.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
mexico, NO., Dec. S-Your editor
ial in the LEDGER Of yesterday even
ing was uniDtentionally misleading
and contained some errors which l
desire to correct. The Prohibition vote
In Missouri in 1895 was only 2,o4S. In
1898, 2,0sS, or gain of 500 In the State.
The largest vote polled in any county
this year was 113 in Newton county,
Jackson county being second largest
with ss. Audrain county 10 credited
by you with II votes in 1898, when il
should have been that number in 1895
and so for the head OF the State ticket
in 1898. Mr.. White, the candidate for
Representative, receiving 80 votes.
In this connection I desire to say
that the Prohibitionists made gains In
81 counties of this State and that the
vote Of DR.. Swallow for governor In
Pennsylvania this year was greater
than the entire Prohibition vote In the
United States IN 1895
Yours very truly,
CHAs. Il. STOKES.

TIE ORIGIN OF MAN.
Rev. Allison Says Adam Was Not
the Beginning Of the Human
Race Only the Head Of
Family.

Rev. ]. 8. Allison, in his lecture
Tuesday evening, "The Adamic Fam
iIy," took the position that Adam was
not the beginning OF the race Of man
kind, but simply representative
head OF q family or government, such
as Abraham was Of the Jewish family
and Christ OF the Christian.
He referred to the finding OF fossil
remains under Table Mountain, which
he regards as an indication that this
continent was peopled before the mp
heaval Of this range.
He also made mention Of the lately
published statement OF q Frenon
savant who claims to have found the
mummified bodies of OSIRIS, his sister
wife, Isis, and their son, Horas, who,
according to Egyptian tradition, lived
more than 1900 years ago.
He concluded from the fact Of a
mark being placed upon Gain to pre-
vent anyone from staying him on his
journey ''From the face of the whole
earth (the boundary line Of their
province) and the face OF their Lord''
(their chief rulerl, that Gain must
have thought there was danger Of
meeting up with parties who might
have avenged the death Of his brother
Referring to the Land Of Nod (wan-
dering), he spplied that to the people
OF Arabia, being east Of Eden; and
thus explains where Gain got his wife
Ia woman Of Arabia.
He sees no reason why the abo-
rIgines Of this country are mot the
product OF the American soil, the
same as the buffaloes; the native
Australian Of the same origin as the
kangaroo. And he seems quite GER
tain that the African and gorilla are
differentiated species Of the same
clay. X. Y. z.

THE aLArDoE RECEPTION.


On Thnrsday afternoon from two
till six O'Clock the beautiful home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph A. Glandon, Of
WoodIawn, was the scene OF one oi
the charmingest receptions of the
year. The house was ablaze with
lights and its material beauties were
enhanced with flowers in lavish pro-
fusion.
Holly was the prevailing decoration,
but white chrysanthemums heightened
the beauty OF the drawing room, red
gave color to the hail and library,
while the dining room was deliciously
toned In smilsx and yellow ohrysan-
themums.
The reception was given by MRS
Glandon, Mrs. I. P. Rothwsll and Mrs.
Walker Pollock In honor Of their
guest, Mrs. J. w. Reed, OF Butte,
Montana. The ladies' Of the receiving
party stood in the white and gold
drawing room, where they welcomed
the guests with that charming
graciousness for which they are dis
tinguished.
In tho hall Mrs. Percy Herd, Mrs,
William Johnson and Miss Martinique
greeted the guests and by light and
witty converse made every one feel
glad to be alive.
In the shadowy landing OF the stail
Mrs. Mitchell and Misses Wallace and
Robertson dispensed with lavish hand
cool cups Of punch from the grape
encircled howl. The coffee table
laden with daintiest sevres stood
before q pink -shadowed lamp In the
library and from behind 1t Misses
Baker, Oanthorn and Houston gra-
ciously served that soothing refresh
ment. In the dining room Mrs. Renfro
Gibbs saw to it that each guest was
provided with all that was necessary
to her complete happiness.
The Mandolin Club furnished sweet
music both instrumental and vocal
from the recesses Of the stairway,
and when added to all this were three
hundred beautifully gowned women,
all vieing with each other in light
nonsense and soft laughter, it made a
picture pleasing to behold.
Mrs. Glandon and her coadjutora
are to be Congratulated on having
given one Of the most successful re-
ceptions OF the season.

JudiciOus Worrying Pays.

The old proverb had it that 1t is not
work but worry that kills. The worry
to which this refers is over-anxisty,
Is too intense application. But even
were the proverb entirely true, II
does not disprove the argument for
judicious worry. Stuff and fret are
the two great enemies of the human
race, but we should not starve in
erder to avoid stufiing. Neither
should We be listlsss, Indifferent OF
unconcerned in order to escape q
legitimate attack of worry. To worry
about ethical matters, brings moral
reform. The man who never worries
over bis spiritual condition, Is dead
spiritually; and so In all avenues OF
human activity, to the end OF the
chapter, judieious Worrying pays.
