The kingdom of Galloway is about

county. The estimated value of the
land is $150,000.
A petition signed by 107 voters Of
Galloway county, asking for change
in the boundary line, has been sub
mitted to the county courts of both
counties, and the transfer will be voted
upon at the November election. The
land lies west of Cedar Creek, and the
reason for the desired change is that
school children have trouble crossing
the creek during high-water seasons.
Part of the school district lies on one
side of the creek and part on the 9TH
er, but the only bridge available is one
near Cedar City, several miles from
the district. Cedar Creek is a large
stream, and the cost of the construc-
ton Of bridge would be more than

gard to the operations in the Missouri
district:
I'm southeast Missouri the principal
increase in production, among the old
er mines, was with the St. Joseph Lead
Company and with the Central Lead
Company. The latter company has put
a new shaft in operation and has blown
in new furnace. The Desloge Con-
solidated Company smelts the greater
part of its concentrates locally, but
also ships considerable part to GUS
tom smelters. The Columbia Lead
Company and the Catherine Lead Com
pany make no pig lead, marketing the
concentrates.
There was an increase in the lead
ore production in the Joplin-Galena
district of nearly 5000 tons, equivalent
to over 1000 tons of pig lead. OF the
different camps Joplin mined 1927

into Cleveland today for a conference
with the Mayor.
Hes mighty big man, and we in
the West believe he is the salvation OF
the party" said Walsh. You have no
idea how popular he Is in the West.
Why, the people in Missouri are crazy
over him. Bryan's friends are all talk
ing Johnson, and every new move Of
his only increases their admiration for
him. have just come from a three
weeks tour of the East. | have inves-
tigated conditions thoroughly, and
must admit that the Democratic party
was never in such a deplorable condi-
ton. 1t has neither an issue nor a
man. Tom Johnson can give us both,
for the entire country is worked up
over the question of taxation. Our
only hope is Johnson. Whitney would
never be accepted - the farmers Of
the West. Neither would Cleveland,
nor would Hill be acceptable. John
son, on the other hand, has never said
word against silver that could come
up against him, and he's the only man
who can make a campaign now and
steer clear OF that subject. Bryan has
sent out tip to his friends. and that
tip is Tom l.. Johnson for President "
During the past few days many
prominent Democrats throughout the
country have been quietly calling on
Johnson. 1t is an open secret here
that presest plans for 1904 is the theme

Some years ago Father Haggerty
took up the study of socialism. and
soon became one OF it's most ardent
apostles. The reason assigned for his
withdrawal from the ministry and the
communion of the Catholic church.

the incompatibility Of her teachings
with the doctrines of his economic
creed. He will devote his entire ener-
gies To the propagation of socialism.

and an undertaken and two printing
offices had already settled and were

dissatisfaction among the excursion
