The inscription on the plain quarry
faced red granite shaft tells it's story as
perfectly as the world-famous inscription

tells it's story. The inscription on the new
shaft reads:

MRS. NATION.

The redoubtable and unconquerable
foe of the liquor traffic, Mrs. Caroline
Nation of Kansas, whose advance
agent so literally advertised her adj
vent on the Fair Grounds yesterday
is a would-be reformer who intends
nothing but good to mankind-an esti-
mable old lady whose motherly instinct
is so developed that she would like to
take all of Uncle Sans 80,000,000
nephews under her wing and guide
their erring footsteps. And she has
conceived the idea that these erring
feet are all directed toward the saloon.
and the cigar store and the tobacco
shop. Hence, Mrs. Nation has figured
out the redemption of humanity as an
easy problem-simply smash these
things and the trick is done the devil
checkmated and all evil banished from
the world.
This is Mrs. Nations solution of the
great human problem
1t is a pity that this good old lady's
mental vision is not as clear and as
sound and true as her heart
Mrs. Nation, we are told, wanted to
get a smash at Wheeling's Sunday
saloons" among other evils which she
had heard existed in Wheeling
She seems to have failed to perceive
the incongruity of her argument
against the evil of Sunday sell
ing and her engagement in the
strictly business enterprise at the
Fair Grounds which her manager"
conducted yesterday-the Lords Day
when they exhibited Mrs Nation to
curious amusement seekers at "twen-
ty-five cents admission, including
grand stand"
Isn't it about time the curtain was
rung down on this sort of business en-
terprise which seeks to exploit in cir
Gus. fashion a good old lady. whose
intentions touch all of our sympa-
thies. If her methods. or those of her
managers" do not appeal to our iudg-
ment?

IMAGINATION AND EPIDEMICs.

American Medicine thinks that too
much attention is given these days to
tuberculosis. 1t wonders if the pres
emit interest of the profession and the
public in this one disease may not
after all, be productive of evil as we'll
as of good. by producing a too great
indifference to other diseases. and by
a morbid or hysteric haste in action
that later may have 10 be undone. A
doubt is being expressed if the gather
ing of numbers of the tuberculous in
one place or institution is wise, and
whether a large number of widely sep
arated camps would not be preferable
to the great expensive institution.
Pneumonia is killing more of our peo-
pile than tuberculosis. 1t plainly
lacks the melodramatic interest of tu-
berculosis. Should We encourage a
too absorbing attention to one disease
alone?"
Our professional contemporary
might have added that science has de-
monstrated that disease epidemics are
often largely due to alarm excited in
the public mind. Every physician
knows the power of imagination for
good or evil in connection with bodily
ailments and that fear is a prime fac
tor in promoting the spread of disease
epidemics.

BY far the greatest event of many

ERECTED BY
THE JEFFERSON CLUB
OF ST. LOUIS. MO.
ON THEIR PILGRIMAGE. OCT. II, 1901
TO EXPRESS THEIR
DEVOTION TO HIS PRINCIPLES.
The inscription on the shaft which now
stands on the Missouri University campus
has become world famous because it was
written by Thomas jefferson himself, and
because therefore 1t shows the achieve
m9nts which he considered the most meri-
torious of his long, resultful life. The
inscription on that stone reads:
Here was buried
THOMAS JEFFERSON,
author of the
Declaration of American Independence
of
The Statute of Virginia
Religious Freedom
Father of the University of Virginia.
The authenticity of the gravestone is
undoubted. When on April is. 1882. Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 for monument
over Jeffersons grave the Misses Ran
dolph, residuary legatees of Thomas JEFF
ferson, presented the original shaft to the
University of Missouri through Dr. S. s.

the University campus, with ceremonies
in which United States Senator Vest
Thomas Bayard. then secretary of state
United States Senator Elkins and other
prominent Americans participated.
The marble slab on which was the ia
nous inscription was countersunk into
the granite shaft and when the State Uni

1892. it badly broken. 1t is now pre-
served under glass in the fireproof vault
of the Proctor of the University.
This gravestoue is now the only monu-
ment to Thomas jefferson in the territory
of the Louisiana Purchase.
The historic gravestone will form the
center of the exhibit of the Missouri State

position. 10 be held in St. Louis in 1903.
The pilgrimmage which will supply Il
monument to replace the one which Mis-

suit of long elaboration and careful prep

ated the project of making a pilgrimma ge

namesake. Since the inception of the
plan additions have come to the number
of the pilgrims from all parts of the State.

ATLANTIC LINERS
Encountered stormy Weather and
High Seas, But Arrived Safe.

Encountered stormy weather and
High Seas, But Arrived Safe.
NEW YORK, Octiber 6.-Three OF
the big Atlantic liners which had en-
countered very stormy weather and
high seas on the passage across, landed
their passengers here to-day. They
were the City of Rome, of the Anchor
line; Umbria, of the Cunard line, and
the Calabria, which is in the Anchor
line service from Mediterranean ports.
All brought large numbers of passen-
gers, those on the Calabria, because OF
the reported bubonic plague at Naples,
being subjected to a. careful examina-
ton at quarantine before they were al
lowed to come to the city.
On the Umbria and the City of Rome,
were three Protestant bishops and
number of clergymen. Two of the
bishops, the Rev. w. B. Derrick, of the
diocese of New York and Pennsylvania,
and the Rev. B. Tucker Tanner, of the
diocese of Kentucky and Tennessee.
who came on the Umbria, are of the
Afro-American Methodist church, and
are returning from the ecumenical
council recently held in England. The
third prelate is the Right Rev. Knute
Henning Gezelius Won Scheele, bishop
of Visby, Sweden. He was accompa-
MED by his wife, and will represent
King Oscar of Sweden at the bi-cen-
tennial anniversary at Yale. While
here Bishop Won Soheele will visit the
Scandinavian colleges, churches and
communities.
While the Umbria was crossing, w.
A. Riach, cabin passenger, accompa-
MED by his wife, died from eomplica-
ton of diseases. His remains were
brought here and will be sent to his
late home in Wilmington, N. C. Mr..
Riach, who was "a years old, was the
auditor of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
way.

with an assay value of S.44 penny
weight, the richest portion being 70
pennyweight over 10 in.
The South Reef gives AZ inches
with an assay value of 1915 penny
weight. the richest portion being 81
pennyweight over 8 in.
These results are considered very
satisfactory. for they prove beyond
doubt what a great future there is be-
fore this country, which so needs
great gold field to develop It, BY
these results an enormous tract OF
country is proved. and you will see
tnar huge gold mines will be started,
for the idea is to work on very large
scale indeed. The imagination is al
most staggered by the thought OF car
rying down a shaft nearly 5000 feet
before you even strike the gold bear
ing stratum. For such a depth you
cannot average much over 1000 feet a
year. This will take five years to get
down to the reef. Then it will take
eighteen months to two years longer
before the mine is in readiness for
turning out gold. Surely this is a
country where it takes money to make
money. OF course it will be a long
time before the work commences, for
all energies will be bent toward getting
the producing mines in full SWING De-
fore any new concerns are opened up.
A point of interest is the dip of the
reef at the bottom of the bore hole. III
the basin Lneory were correct you
would expect to find a big decrease in
the dip at this great depth, but 1t Is
about &c degrees. not much different
from the deepest mine here.
How deep they will mine here the
Lord only knows. Everything favors
extremely deep mining. In the first
place the elevation is considerable
here. being 5000 feet above sea level.
Then the increase of temperature as
you go down is remarkably small
One degree increase for every 200 feet
is a conservative estimate, in fact you
can take 20S feet as near the marx.
Then at the bottom of shaft 5,0oo
feet deep, the increase in temperature
will be "a degrees, say 70 degrees.
Now. the heat at the top is never very
high, and a considerable increase can
be allowed. BY artificial means the
temperature can be materially reduced.
The only thing necessary for very deep
mining therefore is that the gold
should hold out. which is proved by
the recent bore hole. The constrva-
tive mining men predict that it is not
an impossibility to mine here to 5000
or 10000 feet, while the enthusiasts
declare that provided the gold holds
out. we will keep on mining until some
day we will crawl out on the other side
of the earth.

KING EDWARD AND MIR. KRUGER

KING EDWARD AND MIR. KRUGER.
1t is said that the only thing that
keeps the aged President of the South
African Republic keyed up and pre-
vents him from going to pieces physi-
cally is his hatred of England Dom
Paul it is said, is growing weaker
rapidly mentally and physically and
that the sturdy Dutchman. who has
done so much pioneer work in illumi-
mating the Dark Continent with the
light of civilization is not long for this
world.
1t is a tragic coincidence that while
these reports are coming from The
Hague there are similar reports from
Balmoral of the failing health of the
head of the English nation.
All the mighty power behind the
throne of Great Britain has failed to
suppress or diminish the persistency
and authenticity of the rumors that
the English King is suffering from
cancer of the throat The Kings all
ment is officially reported to be lum-
bago. but the circumstances are said
to refute this explanation, since he is
not confined to his room, while the
summoning of famous throat spe-
cialist during King Edwards recent
visit to Copenhagen gives color to the
statements of the Copenhagen newspa-
pers and the prevalent rumors in Lon
don and elsewhere that the English
king is suffering from cancer and that
the coronation will not likely take
place next year.
