Joke on the Preachers.

The Fulton Sun gets off the fol-
lowing:
DR.. A. b. Miller, of Macon, who
arrived late last night in Mexico
on his way to attend business
meeting of the Board of the State
Hospital in Fulton, tells good
story that will be appreciated, es-
pecially by the ministers of the
Christian Church attending the big
State Convention i'm Mexico.
When DR.. Miller stepped into
the hack he called out to the driv-
err, "Ringo."
The hackman turned around to
DR.. Miller and said: ut amt no
use to go there; they are full up"
III reckon | know where want
to CO." said the doctor, take me
to the Ringo."
1t amt no use," insisted the
driver, when the midnight train
came in | took six drummers down
there and they could take but
three of them and took the other
three to another place"
We'll" inquired DR.. Miller,
What is the matter with your
town! What are you doing over
here' would like to go to the
Ringo, for"
i tell You it amt no use, said
the driver, interrupting the doe
tor. There has been the darnd-
est lot of drummers coming in
here all night you ever saw.
don't know what's the matter, but
the town never had such a run on
drummers in my life. No use GO
ing to the Ringo. They are chuck
full down there"
The doctor finally consented to
be driven to the Planters and
found, on arrival, the Missouri

MINERS STRIKE SETTLED
The Distribution of $4,000
a Month In Wages
Now Goes on.

Audrain people will be interest
ed in the following account taken
from the Troy Free Press regard
ing the late strike among coal
miners in this section:
A strike that was of some inter
est to our readers, in that it affect.
ed coal mines which supply this
market, was settled Wednesday at
Mexico by the State Board of Me-
diation and Arbitration, of which
Ii. F. Childers, of the Free Press,
is secretary. The strike involved
about 300 men employed in and
about coal mines operated at Van.
dalia, Martinsburg and Farber, in
Audrain county, and Perry, Rails
county. The secretary of the
board investigated the situation
the latter part of last week; the
controversy was over the care of
the roadways used by the miners
in conveying the coal from the
face of the vein to the mule drive
ways along which it is then hauled
to the bottom of the shaft, to be
hOisted to the surface. The mine
owners contended that the work
be done by the miners, as they
have for the past fifteen years;
the officers of the miners union
asked that all of the roadway but
fifteen feet next to the face of the
vein be cared for by the mine
owners. a meeting of the board
was called by the secretary on Sat
urday last, which was held at
Mexico on Tuesday and Wednes-
day following. Both sides agreed
to submit the matter to the board
and to abide by its decision. The
evidence was heard and the board
decided that, under the contract
in force between the union and the
mine owners, this work should be
done by the miners. The decision
was entirely satisfactory to the
workmen and to the operators of
the mines and the men were all
ordered to go to work again. The
strike had been in force at Wanda
liza fifteen days and at the other
mines about week. The district
disburses about $4,000 a month
in wages and the settlement of the
case meant great deal to the
communities where the mines are
located.

FROM OLD KENTUCK.
Let the Audrain Taxpayers
Read This.

Item taken from the Minneapo-
lis Times:
We are prone to look upon Ken
tucky as a somewhat backward
State, and this is justified to some
extent by facts, but when we dis
miss for the moment the feuds of
the mOuntaineers and the personal
encounters of politicians, we find
much to admire in the daily walk
of the Kentuckians. The State
has its enterprising cities, chief
among them Louisville, whose
growth during the last census dec
ade singularly paralleled that of
Minneapolis. Some of the model
stock farms of the world are found
on the dark and bloody ground"
and there is culture as well as
cussedness in the old Common
wealth.
In the matter of country high
ways Kentucky has a message for
her sister States. Macadamized
roads-the famous pixies" of
song and story-were known there
early in the century. Some of the
sO-called rock roads of Kentucky,
like the States best known pro.
duet, improve with age, SO well
were they constructed in the be-
ginning.
Not content with that which has
been accomplished, the people
have resolved upon a State Good
Roads Convention to be held next
month. Already many of the
counties have abandoned the old
pick and shovel method of work
ing out" a road tax and are using
modern machinery in u business
like manner. The Commercial
Club of Louisville has called a
mass meeting for the purpose of
bringing pressure to bear upon the
Legislature, and the State Good
Roads Convention will round out

Experiment Began Here.

The Globe Democrat published
a picture of Mrs. Clara ID. Snidow.
County Clerk of Audrain. The
CD said:
The county clerks of Missouri
now in convention here are not
likely to contest the assertion that
the "best looking" clerks in the
State are those of Audrain and
Texas counties, where this most
important of county Offices is now
being successfully filed by ladies'.
The experiment of women as
county clerks began in Audrain
county, where Mrs. Clara d. Sni.
dow announced herself as a candi-
date to succeed her husband, the
late Shannon Snidow, who, after
being elected to a second term in
1894, died before its expiration.
Mrs. SnidOw, whose experience in
the office, gained while helping
her husband, made her confident
of her ability to fill the place, an
nOunced herself as candidate,
and at the next ensuing election
she was elected after spirited
contest, which gave her an over
whelming majority. She has held
the place ever since, and her friends
have already put her in nomina-
ton for second term. When
asked to give her views on public
affairs in the county, State and
United States, she evaded the
question with the ease of veteran
craftsmanship. She is native
MissOurian, as is also Mrs. Ger
trude Dewesse, of Houston, Mo-,
county clerk of Texas county.

HAVE DEPARTED.
Our National Usages Critl-
cised-The Anarchists
Excuse.

Nandalia, Mo-, Sept. 10. -EDlT-
OR MESSAGE: Memorial services
on account of the untimely death
of President Mckinley were gen
orally attended by our people.
Men of all parties and creeds join
in condemning the cowardly as
sassin who would take the life of
any man, and are Outspoken i'll
saying that our country, tho a
dumping ground for the scum of
the earth, is no place for the an
archist. But sad to say, they are
here and no one man. but our
whole people, are responsible, to
a ccrta in extent, for the conditions
that exist, that create in the minds
of these people the idea that to
kill our leading men will better
the condition of the working class
es.
Only few years ago what was
known as the Bradley Martin ball
was given in the city of New
York, where there was lavish
expenditure of money; many
thousands of dollars were spent in
one day, while at the same time
there were, in that city, many
thousands of people huddled to-
gether in tenement houses half
clothed and hungry. On account
of opportunities and legislation
such men as Pierpont Morgan can
at will advance the price of coal
one-half cent per bushel and it
will make him n million. R0cke-
fcller can touch the button and
put one-half cent a gallon on coal
oil and he has Il clear million.
Carnegie, the steel king, on ac-
count of opportunities granted by
the government, has made his mil.
lions, and we see combinations of
capital on every hand where the
rich are made richer and the poor
are made poorer.
Then, again, we have departed
from the customs of our earlier
Presidents, when Thomas Jcffcr-
son mounted his horse and rode
unattended TO the Capitol, hitched
his own horse to a tree, went in
and, as a plain man of the people,
took the oath of office. Now what
do we see' The inauguration of
President is attended with all the
pomp and display that could be
made at the browning of king.
In this and in many other ways
we are trying to keep up with the
fashions and costly display of
mOnarchies, all at the expense of
the people.
We should, by wise legislation
remove all excuses for the differ
ence between capital and labor,
and not cater to the formalites of
kings, and then the President can
with safety go all over this broad
land without Il body guard.

The State Game Laws.

The Agricultural Department
has prepared digest of the game
laws of the several States for 1901,
which will be issued in the form
of pamphlet. Last spring, IA
mendments to the game laws were
enacted by the legislatures of near
ly all the States, and numerous
changes were made. The Depart
ment says:
Experience has shown that
while much stress is laid on close
seasons, comparatively little i'm
portance is attached to violations
of other provisions of the game
laws, and it does not seem to be
generally recognized that killing
game by illegal methods, in excess
of the number allowed by law, or
for unlawful purposes, is as seri-
Gus an offence as killing game out
of season.
YIN order to emphasize this
point, a special chapter on methods
has been introduced and some of
the other sections in the former
report have been rearranged. As
the bulletin now stands, it is prac-
tically complete digest of exist
ing Federal, State and Provincial
laws relating to the capture, ship
ment and sale of game"
Obviously, in a country like
this, the public need some educa-
ton on game laws. For about two
Numbered years after the settle
ment of the United States, such
laws were unnecessary, because
game was so abundant that there
was enough for every poor man
who knew how to use a gun or a
rod. Gradually,in in the more thick
ly settled portions of the country,
the animals most in demand were
practically exterminated, and this
process was hastened by the i'm
mense depredatiOns of milliners
and furriers, who paid what SEEM
ed to the country people to he
large prices for the skins of birds
and animals. As transportation
facilities were improved and cx-
tended, it became possible to sup
ply game for city markets in much
larger quantities than had before
been sent there, and all this time
little or no effort had been made
toward preserving or breeding the
species thus ruthlessly destroyed.
The history of game preserving in
this country is much the same as
that of forestry. In both cases
the natural resources of the land
have been ignorantly or ruthlessly
destroyed; and in both cases it is
necessary, b. wise and well direct
ed legislation, to repair the dam
age before it is too late.
This is a matter which ought to
be brought to the attention of ev-
cry farmer in the country. If he
impresses upon his children and
his neighbors and his hired men
the obvious truth that when they
destroy a bird in the breeding sea
son they are helping along the
time when there will be no birds
at all, he will be doing a good
work. To this end, the pamphlet
issued by the Agricultural Depart
ment should be carefully circulat-
ed and carefully read.
