privileges to newspapers and other
publications of anarchistic tendencies
While there is nothing in the regu-
lations Of the department that con-
fers upon him this authority, it is
argued by officials that he has as
much right to proceed against such
publications as he had to withdraw
second class mail privileges from pc
riodicals with premium offers. 1t is
further contended that there is no
reason why anarchists should receive |
the protection of the very government
which they are endeavoring to de-
stroy, and that if orders are issued
agai lst fraudulent concerns they could
also be issued against persons who
are known to be anarchists and those
who publish anarchistic newspapers.

Mosquito hunters will follow with in
terest the experiments that are being
made in New Orleans, where the mos
quitoes flourish practically all the
year around. Oil has become very
cheap in that city since the opening
of the Texas fields. and it has been
decided to try to do two things at
once-lay the dust in the streets and
kill the mosquitoes. Railroads have
tried sprinkling their roads with
crude oil. and have found this method
most efficient in permanently laying
the dust. New Orleans is trying the
same thing, and 1t is said to be IS
successful in streets used for traffic
as it is on railways. Most of New
Orleans mosquitoes are bred in open
drains and cisterns, and while the
streets are being sprinkled oil is put

I cavated from its rIght,of-way north
of the gins at Holcomb and hauled
to the Taylor slough fill, on the new
Clarkton extension. Last Friday.
while a crew was at work there, un-
der the direction of Roadmaster
Timbs, one of the sbovelers, AL
Ferguson, dug INTO an old grave,
containing skeleton. He dropped
his shovel after uncovering the
bones and could hardly be induced
to return to the excavation. Others
continued the digging and besides
all the bones of a body, two earthen
! pots were found, the kind found in
the Indian mounds of this section.
Arthur Hardin, believing there was
hidden money in the pots, smashed
the best one to pieces; but found
nothing in it. The teeth of the
skeleton were in a good state ofpre-
servation; but the bones were soft
and soon crumbIed on being handl
ed.
1t was an Indian grave, it is be-
lieved, and must have been located
in the thick woods, for the land on
which 1t was found has been cleared
but few years.
The location of the grave is two
miles north of the Lone Pine, the
historical tree that is supposed to
stand as q sentinel over the buried
treasure of MurrilI's gang.

Bitter Rot Of Apples.
BULLETIN JUST ISSUED BY THE STATE
FRUIT EXPERIMENT STATION AT
MOUNTAIN GROVE, MO,

This Station has just issued a Bulle-
tin on Bitter Rot Of Apples which
will probably be Of interest to the
readers Of this paper. This disease
was very destructive to the apple
industry the past year; destroying
in many localities fully fifty per
cent. of the crop. The loss was not
confined to south Missouri, but was
equally as great in northwest Ark
ansas and southern Illinois.
Experiments were carried on dur
ing the past season at the Expert
ment Station for the prevention of
this disease, and the results from
the work there are given in the bull
letin. This disease was prevented
to a large extent by the use of
Bordeaux Mixture, which is in gen
eral use among fruit growers for
the prevention Of Apple Scab and
other tungous diseases.
The State Fruit Experiment
Station was established for the be.
netit of the fruit grows Of Missouri
In addition to testing the differ
ent fruits as to their adaptabl!itV
to south Missouri, investigations re
garding the insects and diseases
that effect fruit crops are also car
ried on. The Station IS also re
qnired by law to investigate any
dangerous insect pests of diseases
Of fruit that are liable to spread tc
adjoining orchards and take means
of preventing the danger to Others
orchards by treating or destroying
the infested ones. The bulletins o
the Station are mailed free to al
residents of the State who may re
quest them and growers interested
in the work of the Experimen
Station may have their names
placed upon the permanent mailing
list by writing to the Director o
the State Fruit Experiment Station
at Mountain Grove, Missouri.

Stepheus VS. Green,

Missouri Democrat: Something
Of Il newspaper sensation was caused
a few davs ago by Ex-Governor
Stephens filing suit to foreclose a
mortgage On the Brookfeld Argus,
a newspaper edited by Charley
Green, who was more or less pro.
minent during all of Governor
Stephens administration. From
printed statements it seems the Gov
ernor loaned Mr.. Green $1,000
some time before he was elected
bovernor, and for security was
gwen a mortgage on the news
paper. The Governor AYERS that
Mr.. Green neither paid the princi-
pal or interest, and to save himself
from final loss of the loan and in
terest he was forced to institute
proceedings 10 foreclose the mort
gage.
Mr.. Green has filed counter
claim in which he charges the Gov
ernor for all the pleasant things he
SAID about him from the time the
loan was made until the latter
sought the courts for the collection
Of the debt. If Mr.. Green's account
ing is allowed IN court Of equity,
then it would be in order for Gov
ernor Stephens to amend his petit
ton and charge Mr.. Green for all
the favors conferred OF him by the
Chief Executive Of the State 1t
was through Governor Stephens
influence that Mr. Green was elect
ed Clerk of the House four years
ago, and good many believe that
| had not the Governor extended
him helping hand later on, he
would have been dismissed by the
House.
If every newspaper was to charge
for the complimentary notices given
men Of poIiticaI prominence, and If
all of them were to be paid in full
during the present year, the polltl'
clans would be in the poor house,
while the newspaper men would
| have corner OIL the money
market. 1t will occur to most
newspaper men that Mr.. Green
should either pay the Governor, it
he can, or tell the latter to 90 ahead
and collect what is due him out of
the newspaper property. Because
a man has been Governor OF the
State is no reason why he should
be hung up by II newspaper 20 the
tune of 81 800 and accrued interest.

The Louisiana Purchase Celebra-
tion

ton
OF the several obvious opportun-
iues for national centennial ceIebra-
tions since 1876 says the New York
World none is more attractive than
that for which St. LOnis is now
preparing with such energy and
enthusiasm. 1t is idle to speculate
as to what would have happened
had the vast and potential LOUISIANA
territory not been purchased by
President Jefferson for the United
States. The important fact is that
it was this purchase which actually
rive us the freedom of the continent
and enabled US to reach westward
until our domains were bounded by
two oceans.
Jefferson bought l,2S2, 900 square
miles for Sl5O00,0O0-an area
greater than the combined areas OF
the British Isles, France, Germany,
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland Bel
gum and Switzerland. 1t lay in
the temperate zone. 1t was practlc'
ally empty. 1t was logically Il part
of the Republic. From it has been
builded no less than fifteen States
and two Observation-Disclosures,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Arban-
sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Montana
| North Dakota, South Dakota, Min
| nesota, Wyoming, Idaho, Washing
1 ton, Oregon, and the Oklahoma and
! Indian Territories.
st Louis is the metropolis ofthis
Louisiana Purchase. 1t has 700
inhabitants and there areother cities
with populations ranging from l2o'
900 to 325, 900 and ten cities OF 2oOOC
to 100000. The total population
ofthe Purchase is more than lS,OOO
600 and the per capita wcaI'h u
1890 was 81, 1873 Its crops in 1872
were worth $659,000,O0O, manutac

wage earners are paid more than
$250.000,O00 year.
And yet so enormous are the re
sources that they may be SAID to o'
still in the very infancy OF thel
