A. NJ. Dockery is making Missouri
one of the best governors the state
has ever had, says the Mexico lntelli-
gencer. His administration has been
business like, clean and popular with
all except sore heads, The affairs of
the state are in better fix than ever
before and Missouri is forging nearer
and nearer to the front each year in
every line of advancement and prog
ress. All the coyotes Oh Gov. Dock
ery's trail and hyena journals of the
opposition party have not had the
slightest effect upon the Governors
actions nor lowered him one notch in
the high regard and esteem in which
he is held by the honest, fair-minded
citizens of the state. That good old
majority of over Al, 900 tells the tale
without any further comment from
the Intelligencer. The prided COM
monwealth of grand old Missouri is
still in good hands.

THE SWEDES ARE STARVING.
Birch Bark the Food for 10000 10 the
Famine District.

Stockholm, Nov. Bottle famine
is spreading throughout the extreme
north OF the country. Seventy thous,
I and people are starving or on the
verge OF starvation. Heavy and pro.
tracted rainfalls have inundated the
fields and meadows and flooded
many houses. Much OF the live stock
has been isolated on the hills, which
are barren OF pasture, and is likely
to perish In numerous localities the
inhabitants are killing their flocks
and herds and even their milk cows
or selling them at ruinous prices.
Cows bring only S. and sheep so
cents.
Even in districts where the famine
has been comparatively slight the
savings of the people, which are de.
rived chiefly from stock raising, are
generally exhausted. Birch bark
and seed grain ground together is the
common article of diet. 1t is almost
impossible for farmers to get work
and they cannot mortgage their
farms, which the floods have tempo
rarily rendered worthless In certain
districts the outlook is exceedingly
gloomy. The people will have to
depend on very lightcrops-less than
hall the previous minimum OF ex-
tremely poor quality.
These distressing conditions are
to be found throughout the whole
stretch OF country between the sixty
seventh degrees ofnorlh latitude and
from the gull OF Bothnia and the
Russian border far into the interior.
Southern Sweden has contributed
100000 in money and 1000 car
loads Of fodder and provisions. The
municipalities in the starving area
have been supplied with $75, 900 five
year loans without interest. Never,
theless it is feared that all resources
Of the famine stricken district will be
exhausted not later than the
month Of March. Summer in those
regions, which are mostly above the
Arctic circle, does not begin until
June Of, July. The winters are char
acterized by polar severity and
Egyptian darkness, relieved only by
the northern lights.
