commission, Mr.. Burnham, is the architect
of the Pennsylvania railroads new station

committee, Mr.. Burnham proposed to the
president of the Pennsylvania railroad that
the station be built on the south side Of the
mall and lands adjoining. The arcni-
tectural and other advantages of the pro-
posed site were set forth with such vigor as
to command serious consideration. There

LOOK ON TIE BRIGHT SIDE.

We regret exceedingly to learn
that the prospects for a corn crop
throughout Lafayette county,
have been decidedly injured by
the drouth and hot dry winds.
Not only will the farmers suffer
material financial loss from this.
but merchants and professional
men will also feel the disastrous
effects. Ali classes except the
Independently wealthy, will proba
sly be unable to meet their pecu
mary obligations, this fall. This
threatened misfortune must be
met as best we can. No saving
remedy can be suggested but rigid
economy. self denial and the de.
termination to utilize every OPP
portunity to turn an honest pen
ny, will in a measure tend 20
solve the problem of what work
ing people are-to do, to tide over
the financial pressure. In reality,
the necessities of life are few, and
only a small amount of cash will
satisfy them. 1t is the comforts
and luxuries that demand cease
less expenditures. If we could
nerve ourselves to take a philO.
sophie view of the matter, and re.
trench all unnecessary expenses
in time to meet the threatened
stringency of cash, there would
be no need of real suffering from
poverty.
Ii is a fact, only too apparent
to even the casual observer, that
when strict economy is forced
upon a family, that womankind is
the main prop and stay of such q
domestic administration. 1t would
