THE strike commission has adjourned
temporarily so as to give the miners
and the coal operators chance to get
together and settle the points at issue
in the great controversy. The prob
ability seems to be that the operators
will gain their point of not recognize
ing the union, while the miners will
win or increase in wages. In the
meantime the people are suffering for
coal in many sections. The compa-
MES seem to be distributing it very I'M

A Fine Compliment.

The following item from the
Centralia Courier:
A well known CentraliS lad has
worked in Mexico and Columbia
expresses preference for Mexico
because the young men of that
town do not guzzle liquor as do
the youths of Columbia. In Mex
leo this Centralian tells US. the av-
erage young man is not q saloon
frequenter and it is easy enough
to find sober companions. In Col
umbia, on the contrary. nearly
every young man is "a saloon de.
votee and you have to be contin.
ually refusing to take a drink.
From Columbia source we learn
that drunkenness and liquor guz-
zling is steadily increasing in that
fair town and that the man who
is absolutely temperate is the ex-
ception. These things are revela-
tious to the Courier man and we
trust the picture has been
over drawn. AS IA college and
university town Columbia should
not be given to drunkenness, but
should institute the very soberesl
environment, freest from tempta-
tons possible, in which to educate
the youths Of the great state.

Here's one reason that land
prices in Missouri and the whole
country are advancing. In 1888
the average acreage per capita in
the U. S. was l67 acres. The av-
erage per capita now is only 27
acres each. This would 60 to show
clearly that the landless should get
a piece of land the first opportuni-
ty possible.

c. & A. SHORT LINE.
What Is Being Talked Down
About Wellsvllle and
Troy.

Tae following is from the Wells
vile Optic News:
The G. & A. surveyors are
camped on White Oak, six miles
east of here but in all probability
will move their camp to point .
miles west of here tomorrow
Saturday. Col. A. W. Newton,
the locating engineer, came in
from camp Saturday evening and
went to Bloomington, ILL.,, where
he was called as a witness in suit
pending wherein his company is
interested. Col. Newton stated to
the writer that they made but few
changes on their return survey ex-
cept in the neighborhood of Hawk
Point and Troy in Lincoln coun-
ty. This route misses Troy some
3 miles and is by far the best route
of the three lines, altho they will
have to build one bridge over Bear
Creek which will be about Is feet
high and 800 feet long. The sur
veyors will reach Wellsville to-day
or tomorrow-Thursday or Fri
day, and pass about mile north of
the city limits. From here they
will run direct to point on the
hill 9 miles east of Mexico where
they will intersect with the G. &
A. road. Mr.. Newton saidthat the
line company would build, if at all,
would be determined in about 30
days.
The latest rumor in this direc-
ton, however, which we have from
reliable source, is, that the q. b.
& @. Railroad company is inter-
ested in the building of this G. &
A. short line from Mexico to Old
Monroe where it will connect with
the G. B. & Q road. 1t is under
stood, that the c. B. & Q. road
now has under advisement the
building of branch road from
Brookfeld, Mo-, to Mexico. No..
where they will use the C, & A.
short line to Old Monroe into st.
Louis. This would shorten the c.
B. & Q. route from Kansas City
into st. Louis about 75 miles.
Now the following from the Troy
Free Press:
The c. & A. surveying party
was in town again Wednesday.
They had just finished running a
third line thru this part of the
county. The last one crosses the
Marthasville road at Crooked
creek, three and one half miles
south of Troy. They say this is
the best route of the three, altho
the second line along Whitco NIB
branch is fairly good one. They
left here Wednesday afternoon
for Wellsville from which
place they will run a
direct line to Mexico a few miles
south of the first one they sur
veyed. This road is going to be
built from Mexico to Old Monroe,
but just how near it will come to
Troy is question that can only
be guessed at at present.

ONLY "JAYS" FARM.
That's the Impression That Too Many of Our
Boys Get.

Farming is the most indepen-
dent occupation on earth. The
farmer is the true gentleman. He
can accumulate without trucking to
the will of others.
But the farmers are not organ
lied, in any line whatever-so the
States, Missouri, especially, are
"organizing" for them.
Farming and agricultural pur-
suits must be encouraged. And
we must do better farming, that
there may be more money in it,
and we must get down to it in Au.
drain and the counties adjoining
There is too much waste and toe

the bill to repeal the act allowing an
extension of time for the payment of

The senate agreed to the house
resolution to spend two days at the

will be February 7 and 8. Senator
Sheppard attempted to make it only

The senate then got on the county

cussed for more than an hour with
out any result. 1t was however,
agreed that the bill as it stands
should be disposed of, and if salaries
did not suit various senators, then
they might amend it as they thought
right and just, so TAR as their respec-
tive counties are concerned. With
out having gotten at the merits ofthe
bill, the senate adjourned until to-
morrow at II o'clock.
