THE STREET FAIR A 60.
Money Has Been Raised to Pay All
Expenses of the Same,

Yesterday the Committee on
Finance for the Street Fair started
out to raise money to pay the ex-
penses of lthe same and after can
vasslng for few hours had 81, 900
in cash in bank, besides pledges
that are good.
This morning Mr.. Claude Shep-
herd made a silent canvass for
funds and collected an additional
$3.50 and the mail brought big fat
check in from Dallas, present from
the Dallas Brewery.
1t is though that it will take some
81 300 to pay the expenses of the
fair, and this amount win be raised
in cash and the work started.
1t is said that high plank fence
will be erected, commencing at alley
of the Byrne block, running across
to the Pacific Express building and
all of the plaza will be enclosed up
to the Mcmahon lots on Clinton
street. This fence will be covered
something on the order of stock
pens at fair ground, and under
meath this shelter it will be floored
and divided into booths, which will
be furnished the merchants for ex-
hibition of their wares and goods.
The Midway will be in this enclos-
ure, and all the side shows and
other attractions drawn here for
the occasion. This fence will cost
a good sum, and then there is a
band to hire for week, which will
take fifty dollars day for this per-
haps, and another three hundred
dollars or more to advertise the
same. The projectors do not give
up a cent to the street fair COM
pany that will furnish the attrac-
tions, but will get per cent out of
them for allowing them privileges.
1t takes money to run a gigantic
scheme of this kind but the com
mittee has it on hand and will go
through with the work.

THE LAST Case
OF SMALLPOX DEVELOPED ON WEDNES-
DAY OF LAST WEEK.
All Who Have 1t Are Getting Along
Nieely-A Strict Quarantine On
All Persons Who Have
Been Exposed.

There has not been any new
cases of smallpox in this city
since Wednesday of last week.
In all we have had four cases
and those who were exposed
are under a strict quarantine.
Every precaution has been
taken to prevent the disease
spreading. No public gather
ings have been permitted and
the physicians have vacci-
mated nearly all who had not
been vaccinated. Those who
have the disease have had it in
very mild form. So far as
Monroe City people are con.
cerned the small pox scare has
passed away and we are NOV
ing along as usual. altho the
authorities will las they should)
use every precaution until long
after the disease has been
stamped out. The disease is
not nearly so contagious or
dangerous as many people sup
pose. In the larger cities they
have the small pox every day
in the year, and none stay away
from the city on that account.
When the disease is so general
over the country there is but
little, if any more, danger Of
contracting it here than in the
country home. Exaggerated re,
ports of the disease have been
spread over the country. AS
before stated there are only 4
cases in Monroe City and the
last one of them broke out or
Wednesday of last week. If ne
new cases the quarantine will
be raised next Tuesday.

PUT HIM TO WORK.

Now that school is out what
are you going to do with tha
boy OF yours. 1t will take more
than books to prepare him to
fight the battle of life. He must
learn to work. There can be
no prosperity without work.
Book learning is only the foun-
dation to build upon. The boy
with a good education and
trained to work is much in the
lead of the boy with only one
of these accomplishments. Per.
nit us to cafl your attention to
the following article which we
have clipped from an exchang e:
"If there is nothing else for
your boy to do, put him to
whitewashing the back fence,
keep the lawn moved and even
cut the winters supply of wood.
Anything is better than loafing
about town at the rear end of a
cigarette, learning all the evil
habits and contracting all the
vices that are afloat to catch
idlers. No honest labor will
hurt your boy, but the evil hab-
its he may contract in the
streets may kill his soul and
poison his moral nature so as
to make him a detriment to the
community in which he lives
and bow down his gray-haired
parents with sorrow. If the
fathers and mothers of to-day
would only learn the impor-
tance of training the sons so as
to be industrious and keep them
off the streets, the coming gen
eratioA would be iuestimab ly
better for it.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1900-05-03

Monroe City merchants will
sell you all kinds of goods
cheaper than you can buy them
from ira Yelling fakirs. Of course
these travelling statesmen try to
impress the farmers with the
idea that the goods carried by
the travelling merchant are bet
ter or cheaper than can be Sc
cured from the home merchant.
A careful investigation will
show the reverse to be true.
Spend your money with Monroe
'City's live merchants and you
will get full value. Keep your
eye on the DEMOCRAT for bar
gains.

WOMAN IN AMERICA.
Her Position Here Higher Than in Any Other
Part Of the World.

Chillicothe, Nd, Dec. 3O-Hall Game.
writing to the Sorosis, local woman's
club, under date of Greba Castle, Isle
of Man, Dec s, says:
when one considers what the posi-
ton of woman was, even in the most
civilized countries, as recently as 100
years ago, and how high place she
has now won for herself, not only in
the statute books of nations but in the
republic of art one cannot but feel
that the change is even more remark
able than some of the great material
developments which have distinguished
the country.
'Spcaking rs one who has seen life
in many countries, | feel that II is
within the truth to say that the posi-
ton of woman is higher in America
than in any other part of the world
For this result American women
have not doubt to thank their own
natural gifts and great independence
of mind but they have also, | think. to
be grateful to the splendid chivalry in
the other sex. which is nowhere more
conspicuous than in the best type of
American gentlemen.
