TO ERECT A MONUMENT.
An Appeal to the Ex-Con-
federateS of Missouri.

The old Confederate soldiers of
Missouri desire before they all 90,
to see a monument erected in their
state that will remind succeeding
generations that i'll the greatest
war of the worlds history the Mis-
sourian, whose convictions of
right led them to the side of the
southern confederacy, had the
courage of their convictions and
were not lacking in that quality of
manhood which has made the
name of the American honored
turnout the world.
The committee, appointed by
the United Confederate Veterans
to accomplish this purpose, has
selected Col. Henry Newman, of
Huntsville, and authorized him to
visit each county in the state to
put into operation the plan it has
adopted to raise the necessary
funds for their purpose. Col.
Newman's visit to this county was
simply to select some one here into
whose hands this business will be
entrusted. The monument is to be
erected in the Confederate Gene.
terry at Springfield, Mo.
The committee is anxious TO
make this popular measure in
which every one will participate.
Large donations will not be asked
of any one. From twenty-five
cents to one dollar is as much as
will be expected of each, and the
committee would rather have TWEEN
ty-fvc cents from four persons
than dollar from one. We are
all proud of our state and in the
years to come our pOStcrlty will
look with pride to the part Mis-
souri, acted in the greatest war of
this century, and they will bow
with reverence TO II monument if
we leave them one in quality suit
able to commemorate the hcrOiSm
of the Missouri Confederate
soldiers.
We can do this if all the people
of this state who are anxious to
help can be afforded the OppOr-
tunity to make small donation.
The committee will not build II
monument that we will be ashamed
for our posterity to see, and will
not undertake the work until ut
least 80, 1000 have been raised for
the purpose. We are satisfied that
this can be done within the next
sixty days, and we feel sure that
the people of this county will be
glad to make their contributions
before the books are closed.

Declaration of independence.
They will declare for the republic
against the empire. They will
put the price of a single soldier
life of more value than all the
gold of the Philippines. They will
endorse the words of Abraham
Lincoln that no man has right To
govern another man without the
others consent. They will re-
assert the principle for which the
Revolutionary fathers fought King
George, that taxation without
representation is tyranny. They
will declare against every wrong
full syndicate: against corrWpting
combinations of capital. They will
favor the money of the ConStitu-
ton; the taxation of incomes;
the regulations of railroads.; the
suppression OF trusts. They will
favor freedom for Filipinos, under
the shield of Il new Monroe doe
trinc; annexation for Cuba when
Cuba desires il; the same terri
torial government from Puerto
Rico that is proposed for Hawaii.
They will oppose favoritiSm of ma
tional banks or special privilege,

A MUSEUM SAFE FROM FIRE.
Almost Absolute Security of New
YorL's Great Art Treasures.

(From the New York Tribune.)
A visitor to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art made enquiry few days ago as 10
the value Of the various collections and
the possibility of replacing the works of
art If they should be destroyed. He was
surprised to learn that. although the
Museum contains treasures of great value,
OF which no duplicates exist. there is no
insurance on either the building or its
contents. The officers OF the institution
believe, however. that the works of art
and antiques are in no danger from fl e.
The building is as nearly ireproof as it
can be made. and recent inspection by
a committee OF experts resulted in re-
assuring the people who are interested in
the Museum on that score.
Aside from the precautions which were
taken in constructing and placing the
building the managers have established
rules which make a fire almost impossi-
Bile. The building is patrolled by corps
OF watchmen night and day; smoking is
not permitted in any part OF the build

INDIANS GAVE IT THE NAME

Ing the first European to arrive there.
After his came some Spanish vessels,
aud in 1906 Denys. q Frenchman. and Yer

country in the name OF France. At that
time. says M. Perrault. the French often
heard the natives use the Spanish words
"Aca NADIA" which signify, nothing
here" The natives had picked up these
words from the Spaniards who had search
cd for gold and silver. and who, because
they had found nothing. had speedily de-
parted. The French came to the conclu-
sion that the words so often used by the
natives were the original name of the
country. Another explanation is that
