To THOSE persons who are
shivering in dread lest British capital
may purchase all the profit-making
enterprises in the United States it
ought to he rcassuring to read that
Albert aud Tom johnson, two
American Capitalists, are about to
const, uct an electric trolley line from
London, England, to Brighton, the
famous watering place, out OF which
they expect to make "barrcls" of
money. In this connection it may
be interesting to uote that the dis
tance from London 20 Brighton is As
miles and the fare $3.50; that the
fare by the trolley line will be but
sixpence; that there is no trolley
road and but one cable line in Lon
don with its population of six mil
lions. The Johnsons will show our
English cousins a point or two about
"getting there" with speed and com-
fort.

We are indebted to the Buffalo
Horse World for . most interesting
account of how q horse in our civil
war made ,wo prisoners. Sheridan
was in the Shenandoah Valley aud
confronting him, General Jubal
Early with q large force Of Confede-
ratio cavalry. A magnificent horse
was brought into the Union camp,
and Major Oscar L. Teachout of our
cavalry appropriated him. In a
charge made few days later the
horse took the bits in his teeth and
carried the major in spite of all his
efforts prisoner into the Confede-
rate camp Here the horse was ap-
propriated by q Confederate colonel.
aud a little later, in another engage
lnent, took the colonel i'm spite of all
bis efforts into Sheridan's camp. So
the horse made Uuion major and n
Confedera ate colonel prisoners IF war.

REPORTS from 70 counties in

REPORTS from 70 counties in Mis-
souri shows the apple crop to be Sc
per cent, of which so per cent. is pre-
sumed to be marketable. The best
reports come from sections on The
high ground, and particularly from
the timbered regions. An unusual
occurrence, Is the fact that cultivated
orchards do not show the best re-
suits, this, however, should not de-
tract from the proper cultivation OF
orchards. Old orchards that are
seeded down to clover, seem to give
the best results this year. The crop
shortage in other states, signifies that
the fruit we have to spare, will bring
good prices. The favOrite Sarieties
as q rule show the best crop, although
location somewhat changes the re.
suit.

TO ONE accustomed to- drink Mi

TO ONE accustomed to drink Mis-
souri, River water, vaunted for its
purity as it is. the sight of the tons
of refuse and nameless abominatiOns
that are fed into it's ravenOus curren
at Kansas City, LeavemwOrth, St.
Joe, Council Bluffs aud Oma"a, and
at many other points, cannot fail to
cause unpleasant sensations in the re-
xiom of the stomach. 1t is tn be re-
membered, too, that the volume OF
this refuse is increasing year by year,
aud that the time is surely coming
when, though filtered until they
sparkle like the living waters from
cold springs in the Taney county
Ozarks, the waters of the Missouri
will hold disease and death in s"lu-
ton in their li,npid transparency.
That i, the heritage that is heing pre-
pareu for the residents of the river
towns as rapidly ~ time and the ac-
emulation of rubbish and filth can
do the work. Has the state, ana
have other states touched by the
great river, no responsibility in the
matter7 They certainly do not ap-
pear to realize it, but the RESPONSE
bility exists. The obligation is up
on the commOnwealths to safeguard
their ci,izrns against the outbreaks
of disease and contagiou, and it is not
an obligation that may be held light
Nv. The time is coming, it may not
be until the inlabitants of half

AS TINE goes by indications multi
ply that the whole Ozark region is
resting upon a bed Of mineral which
finds its eliminating richness in
Taney county, where a man cannot
locate homestead without a strong
probability of getting mine of lead
and zinc and incurrimg the risk OF
waking up rich some fine mOrning
when he is least prepared for such a
cOnsummHtiOn.

ANTHRAClTE coal goes up iii price
aud ut present it is worth $3.50 pr
ton. with u promise that advances
will be made rs the season for its
general use draws nearer. No rea-
sou Is ASST ned for hard coal being
more expensive this year than tor
nerly, but it is natural TO suppose
that those who control the product
OF the east desire to be more r.muiI-
erativc toward themselves. South
Missouri is fortunate in that the peO-
pie are abundsntly supplied with
wood, and will not be burdcncd by
tie hand of the coal trust.

While they are cutting freight and

The refusal Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
10 accept the invitation rendered bv
the Chicago committee to attend the
dedication of their new post Office
building, OH the ground that he is
afraid of being 1nsulted by the popu-
lace, is not calculated to relieve the
tense feeling existing In official cir
cles over the Alaska boundary ques-
ton. Coming on top of his previous
interview, in which he made use OF
the expression "arbitratiUn or war,
it makes the prospect of al eaily set
tlement of this perplexing question
even more difficult. The discretion
Of our able Secretary of State is to
be commended in this connection.

pendent man on the planet, in spite
of all the alleged funny papers have
aald and may say, in bad pictures
and worse jokes, about the calling
aud pecu!iarit,es of the farmer as a
class. His clothes may not be of the
latest cut, his hat may be wilted aud
his shoes let in the dew aud sunshine,
but he does not care. He does not
owe the "butcher, the baker and the
csn,llestick MAKER" a liberal soil
gives him plenty of grain and the
finest of fruit, abundant range en-
ables him to produce cheaply cattle
hogs. sheep and angora goats, and,
not having to spend the earnings OF
one half the wear for clothes aud fuel
to keep himself from freezing, aud
for feed to keep his stock from slarv-
ing during the other bali, he bas time
10 hum, fish, commune with nature
in her pleasantest moods and most
beautiful retreats, and enjoy life 10
such . measure of fullness as has
never been dreamed of by the ''smsr'
Alexander" would-be furry men o1
the newspapers. The Ozark farmer
does not care for this ridicule, and Il
is harmless to hurt him or to detrac'
from the true dignity Of his calling
and statiou In life.
