Need of Sustained Interest.

"The work done in the systematic and con-
tinuous general Improvement on the first
reach. in accordance with the congressional
act of 1880. covered forty-ive and a half
miles OF river. from just above Jefferson
city down to the mouth OF the Gasconade
River. The work was entirely successful,
in accordance with the adopted plan. and
covered nearly One-third of the reach. when,
in 1886. interest in the work seemed to sub
side and appropriations were cut down. on
the ground that there was no considerable
fore commencement of work. that tOats
could not be pTofitably employed or the
river in its natural state, and that was the
principal reason for improving. II came
10 he an admitted fact, also. that a yol-
tinuous improvement must be made To be
effective. As the principal part of the eX-
pected on the lower part # the
river must pass the mouth OF the river into.
or out OF, the Mississippi. II is not clear
what could have been expected
before the opening of the river to its mouth.
Let us suppose that a railroad were pro-
iected, over which. when IL should be COM
pleted, a large through. traffic was assured.

Fight at North Manchester Will Begin
Next Month.
The campaign of the religious bodies
and temperance people against the sa-
loOnkeepers of North Manchester will
begin at the April term of the commits
sioners' court There are 400 voters
in Chester township and under the
Nicholson act majority of these must
sign remonstrances against the grant
ing of licenses. The movement is
broad in it's scope and contemplates the
securing of signatures to protest
against the granting of license to any
applicant in Chester township for the
period of two years. The saloon men
are already combating the opposing
element, using their influence to keep
the names of voters off the blanket
remonstrance, and with partial success
thus far, although the temperance peo-
pie say they will have many more than
the required number. Two applica-
tions are already in and will come
within the operation of the remon-
STRANGE. They are those of Frank Mil
tonberger and Clinton Flick. Leading
attorneys have advised that the remon-
STRANGE is legal.

Notre Danes New Plan.

NotTe Dame is TO depart from the
conservative policy of half century
and accept changed educational condi-
tiOns as other institutions are doing.
At meeting of the entire collegiate
faculty board Tuesday the question
was voted on concerning the admission
without special examination to the
freshman classes of graduates of high
schools of certain cities. The majority
of the faculty were in favor of the in
novation and committee was APP
pointed TO prepare list of high schools
whose curriculs were sufficiently ad
vanced. The Latin requirements were
also modified. Notre Dame requires
more Latin from candidates for bach
elor degrees than does any other insti-
tuition In the country, and the faculty
considered fsvorsbly the plan of lessen
ing the amount of Latin required and
substituting in its place additional
work in French, Spanish OF German.
The changes will probably go into
effect next fall.

Time for Action.

Wslkerton independent: Before
burglars steal the town and carry it
away with them some extra measure
should be taken to catch the gang,
which is evidently composed partly, If
not entirely. of local characters. Burg
lsries are becoming entirely too numer-
Gus. The thieves with each successful
haul become holder, and if allowed to
continue uninterruptedly it may be but
q question of time until some good citi-
zen may meet his death at the hands Of
these ruffians.
There are some desperately bad char
acters somewhere around WalkertOn
and our citizens should 60 prepared for
any emergency that may arise. 1t Is
time to perfect some kind of an Orgsn-
izstion for systematic defense against
this gang of burglars. 1t may prove q
very expensive thing if we elbow mat
tiers to continue at loose ends.

president of the senate. who. while fill
ing position high 10 authority IN this
state. so used his position as TO coun-
tensnce, uphold and assist in the meth
ods above mentioned in connection
with the defeat of the bill in question.
We appreciate the help extended and
wish TO give due credit TO those sena-
tors. who. while being slightly in the
minority, voted for the passage of the
bill and honorsbly resisted the great
pressure brought to bear upon them TO
betrsy their constituents.

minutes, together with schedule of
the vote which defeated the measure,
be made matter of record and also be

She May Dispose of Property without
the Consent of Children.
The Indiana supreme court has de-
clded a contest over the possession of
ten-scre piece of real estate which had
been owned by James Odell, of Warren
county Odell died in 1879. and, IS all
his property, including this ten acres,
amounted to less than $500, his widow
took possession Of 1t under the Indiana
statute which gives to the widow in
such cases a claim prior both 10 chill
dren and creditors. The widow after
ward remarked and then sold the land.
After her death, however, her children
by the first marriage set up a claim TO
the land under the statute which pro-
vides that when a wife remarries she
may not convey the real estate inner
tied from her first husband without
the consent of the children. The
supreme court held that her claim TO
the first $500 worth of property took
entire precedence Of the rights OF the
children, and they therefore had no
claim upon the land.

Firms Handling Them To Pay License

A bill Of general Importance passed
the senate Wednesday afternoon in re-
gard to goods made by convict labor.
Ii was introduced by Representative
Dudley and has now passed both
branches. Ii provides that firms that
handle convict made goods shall pay a
license of $500 year to the state, and
that the goods shall be stamped to
show that they are convict-ma
In 1895 bill on this subject was
signed by the governor, but the law
was never enforced. 1t is said that 1t
was unconstitutional, because it did
not apply TO convict goods made In
Indiana as well as other states The
bill passed Wednesday applies to all.
Attorney Al Higgins, of Terre Haute,
says the state has been flooded with
convict-made goods despite the act of
1895 Ii is said not to be generally
known that the bill passed Wednesday
includes goods made in Indiana lnsti-

The "jacksss bill" is the name ap-
piled TO the 1880 series treasury note
of the $40 denomination, says an
article in the Chicago Chronicle. The
government was made the victim of a
practical joker, an Englishman and al
engraver in the bureau of engraving
and printing. The head of the bureau
discharged the eDgraver for cause and
gave him the usual months notice, and
the latter decided upon cold blooded
revenge upon the eagle. He was work
ing on the new plates for the $40 bill
and by a deft handling of the lights
and shadows of the eagle he produced
the jackass. From an artistic point of
view his work is excellent. 1t is the
pefection of puzzle creation. The head
and neck of the eagle, which has 8
peculiar twist, furnished the head of
the jack Tbs light shading at the base
of the wing becomes perfect eye from

the eagle form the ears of the jack.

IN lesser degree the same difference

What III those days was It's highest is
now its lowest, and is much less than

Great scars now mark the sides of
the stately hill, whence hundreds OF
carloads of sand have been taken to

transportation. The sand is used IN
ballasting railroad tracks, filling low
places, ID building operations and
in factories. Probably the highest duty
it performs is being ground to a pow

it valuable for poll hing purposes. In
