The Dunklin News published at
Maiden, Mo-, says: ''The local Board
OF Health saw cause this week to pro-
mulgate prohibitive quarantine
against Jonesboro, Nettfetou and

action was caused by startling re-
port of the extraordinary fatalities

One provision of the quarantine regu-
lation is to the effect that the crews OF
freight trains running between this
city and Jonesboro must remain upon
the railroad premises ia this city and
as result the local freights now run
through to Birds Point. Also, citizens
not allowed to csngregate at the depot

vANDiVER EXPLAINS.
Says the Old Clothes Incident Was
the Result of an Error.

A Washington special says: Pep
resentative Vandiver OF the Fourteenth
District this morning called at the
Post Office Department and explained
the facts in regard to package of
public documents held in the St. Louis
post Office bearing his congressional
frank, and reported to contain also
clothing belonging to Mr.. Vandiver' $
family. The Second Assistant Post
master General stated that his Office
had no Information of the matter, but,
upon the explanation made by Mr.
Faudiver that the sack got into the
mails through an error. instructions
to forward the package to Mr.. Nandi-
yer,S nome. Mr.. Eandiver also ca Il
ed on Assistant Attorney General
Iyuer. Tho said that the explanation
WAS perfectly satisfactory, and that
it was too trivial matter for the de-
partmeut to consider seriously. Cen
cral Tyner added that instructions
would be sent to ST. Louis for the
proper forwarding Of the sack. 1t
appears that it was not addressed to
any person or post Office. which bears
tut ullv AIr. Vandiver' staten sat
that The sack was not intended to be
mailed, but to be sent to his new resi-
dence in the city. Owing to the con
fusion OF moving his goods the sack
was improperly delivered to the mail
wagon by Nir- Vandi~er's clerk

These dogs know the whistle of the

they never make mistake. No matter

citizens OF the Cape that al the time
OF the visit of the Nashville, a little
more than !. year ago, il was decided
to present some sort of II testimonial
to Capt. Bryant and Capt. Good, the
pilots VINO brought the vessel up the
river.
These gentlemen showed the people
here nur5er of cUnrtesies which
were much appreciated. When thc
matter of the testimonials was agreed
upon a committee was appointed 10
look after it consisting Of DR.. Rolston,
r. f. Cannon and Will Warren. The
committee collected sum OF money
which is still on hand. no decision
having been reached as to the partic
ular form the testimonials should take
The matter will be taken mp by this
committee at once and disposed of
some way. As the DEMOCRAT under
stands it, it is not the design of the
committee to go to any heavy expense,
but merely to present some slight
token of esteem and appreciation to
the two pilots mentioned.
Capt. Good is now on the L. S.

.'Rev. George McGee, pastor of the

Poplar Bluff VS.. The Cape.

The board Of education of Poplar
Bluff employs fourteen teachers in
the public school for whites in that
town. The principal is paid salary
of Sl2J per month. There is one as
sistant at $50 month, two at $50 a
month each, and one assistant at $50
month, and nine teachers at SO a
month.
They have first class teachers and
pay them decent salaries. Each teach
er is not required to do the work of
two or three, and consequently the
school there is right up to the mark
of what a school shonld be. Here
our board of education pays the prin-
cipal $50 a month, the first assistant
$40, and the other teachers S35 a
month each. Cape Girardeau has a
larger number of pupils at its public
schools than Poplar Bluff has, but
our board of education does not
seem disposed to employ the necessary
number of teachers to teach the chill
dren properly They don't cram the
pupils with Latin in the Poplar Bluff
school, and that is another respect in
which that school has the advantage
of ours. But, where 4 public school
teaches the dead languages We cannot
expect that it will be fully alive to
the real requirements and purposes
of a school.

strikes and strikers.

St. LOuiS Star: 1t Il a we'll known

ers. who have no interest in the mat

natural propensity to main or XIII.
The strikers should beware OF an in
voluntary alliance with The crirni nal,
Glasses Of society.
The Star refers OF coCrse to the
strike existing in St. Louis, and the
al Ice it gives is sound and sensible,
bus III large number uf instances it
will h thrust aside without ceremony.
There is I. phase of these strikes which
does not occur to the average man,
bit those who have had some personal
knowledge of strikes and strikers
have had it forced upon their atten-
tion somewhat rudely, and that is,
tnat while strikers disclaim all yio-
the average strike cannot hope to be
succe- al. After the strike has, been
orders and is in force, the next
thing to be done is to prevent men
from taking the places of the strikers.

ieice is the faroriie one and fhe one
most often fesoried 10. All the s.rik-

what will foiilw, that there will be
damage to properly. probable loss of
life. and Notwithstanding this they
make a cOEGition possible under which
he worst element in every community
can come TO the front and kill, rob or

an active part in the matter or not,
the strikers are certainly morally re-
sponsibie for what occurs. When
men az killed, wh,n property is des-
troyeC, 4 won't do for the strikers to
hold up their hands in holy horror
and declare they have nothing TO do
with it, because Intelligent people. will
not believe them.
There is one other point. Strikers

about their right to peaceful liberty
and freedom. and yet they are
about the last men on earth who will
accord these rights to others They
