!"GOD MONITOR"
Destruction of Famous Beacon Rock
on the Missouri.


on the Missouri.
A force of men cleaning the way for
the roadbed OF a railroad blasted away
the other day the most historic rock on
the Missouri River. The rock stood for
centuries OH bluff just above the old
town of Marion, Mo-, where the new
railroad crosses Moniteau Greek. 1t

feet high. One side resembled very
much the head of a lion while the other

Probably the most curious European

smaller to indicate his body.

SOME GOOD CORN.
Sixty-Five Bushels to the Acre in
Monroe.

D. W. Robbins gathered a piece
of corn last week and loaded ON the
cars here which measured five acres
and averaged sixty-fye bushels and
four pounds to the acre. This is not
guess work at all, but are actual
facts in the case. Brother Jonas of
the Aberdeen Examiner is respectfully
cited to this and his answer awaited
with interest -Tupelo Industrial

That is fine corn, very fine, in fact;
but as we remarked in our issue of the
10th, Mr.. Jason Flynt, manager of the

NO MAN SHOULD BE WITHOUT A
BOOK OR A HANDKERCHIEF.
New Orleans, Nov. q, 1902.

NEW orleans, NOV. e, 1919.
To the Editor of the n. o. Item:
We have and have had all sorts of
anti-killing crusades. One set by the
crusade reformers would put an end to
pigeon shooting Another exhorts us
to lay away our guns and rods and
stop Staying dumb creatures for our
brutal sport. Still another declares
that the crime of crimes is the murder
of birds for millinery trimmings.
Vegetarians say it is wrong to take
the life of any animal for human
food. There are many persons who
assert that capital punishment for
crime is contrary to natural law.
But there is one sort of killing, more
noxious-if the word is not paradox
cal-than all the rest, more detrimen-
tai to the mind and character of the
individual, more dangerous to the
state, and yet there is no organized
crusade against this sort of killing.
1t is the killing of time.

Indifferent matter instead of confes
sion of crime. Killing timei
Destroying the stuff that life is made
of! Committing suicide by install
ments Throwing away opportuni-
ties! Confessing our incompetence!
Proclaiming our unfitness to live!
There is never an occasion Or any
excuse for killing time. Every expe-
rience, every moment should bring Is
profit in mind, character, strength or
money There is always something
to do. The man who knows the value
of time never kills it. He carries his
brain about with him, and if he were
bound and gagged and left alone in
the dark he could still think some
thing worth while; something that
would make him better and wiser.
And many persons, to avoid vast
| ing time, carry book with them con-
stantly and read it whenever they
have spare five minutes ON their
hands. One can buy almost any clas-
sic in any language in compact
pocket edition for a few cents, and it
is remarkable what an amount Of
good reading can be done by employ
ing thus odd fagments of hours. A
man ought to carry this book as con-
stantly as he carries his handkerchief.
And he should never be without

ROOSEVELT
WAS SKEERED
Wall Street Threatened
to Turn the Tables
WHICH PRODUCED A PANIC
1t Shows What Influence the Street
May Exert.
1t Shows What Influence the Street
DEALING WITH THE TRUSTS
He May Be Defeated in the Next
Republican Convention.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 5.-Wall
Street, which is exceedingly sensitive
to every action of the administration
concerning financial matters, has
turned the tables on President Roose-
welt, and has produced upon him an
effect approaching that of panic. 1t
has shown what influence it may exert
in political campaign, warning the
president that if he continues to pur-
sue an erratic course in dealing with
the money powers, he may expect
defeat either in the next national re-
publican convention or at the ensuing
November election.
Wall Street has not taken kindly to
the policies of the present administra
tion in regard to railroad matters and
the trusts. Financiers of the east for
some time past have shown an un-
friendly feeling, and it was this
which prompted Senator Platt, few
months ago to publicly declare that
the New York state convention would
not endorse Roosevelt for the presi-
dency. Other considerations, how
ever, caused Senator Platt to recall
and follow the wishes of majority
of the state leaders. Wall Street,
however, did not change its senti-
ment, but voted it at the polls, and
the result now shows that the state,
in presidential year, is liable to go
democratic.
A well known republican official
remarked privately this afternoon:
t'The returns from New York state
give the president much uneasiness.
We see serious dissatisfaction in New
York city, for which there appears
to be no remedy. Wall Street is dis
pleased with our manner of handling
the trast question, and has registered
a protest against some of the things
that have been done during the pres
ent year under orders from the white
house, which, though not intended to
do so, have made certain stocks shaky.
The money powers of New York city
are fighting Mr.. Roosevelt, and hope
to prevent his nomination for the
presidency in 1904. If they cannot
exercise sufficient strength to keep him
off the ticket, / am afraid that they
will prove strong enough to elect a
democrat as his successor. think
that he will be the republican nomi-
nee, but if the democrats put uI
such man as Grover Cleveland,
though I do not believe for a moment
that he would consent to run, they
will stand an excellent chance of car
rying the election. We cannot hope
for anything from the south, and il

Mr.. MERRILL'S CAR
WAS HAULED FROM JACKSON THROUGH
A MISTAKE.
Mu n TO His Surprise He Knew Nothing Of
II For Several Minutes.

President Merrill of the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas City road, who
was in the city yesterday attending
the meeting of the railroad commits
sion, was minus private car in the
afternoon.
The president of the new road has
a most palatial car, one of the hand
soonest that has ever been in Jackson,
and Mr. Merrill is naturally very
proud of it. He came into the city
Tuesday morning, had his car
switched on the sidetrack and went
up TO the acpitol to attend the session
of the Mississippi railroad commission
and discuss the question of rates with
the officials. After the meeting had
adjourned, President Merrill invited
a number of friends to go with him to
his private Pullman and enjoy his
hospitality.
When the distinguished party
reached the depot the president, with
his invited guests, headed for the spot
where he had left his car, but nay,
nay, there were number of box cars
standing around but the beautiful car
of the president could not be seen.
Mr.. Merrill then began to enquire of
the railroad men if they had seen his
car moving off, and it was learned
that the car had been hitched on to
the eastbound Alabama and Vicks-
burg through mistake and taken to
Meridian. The president explained
to his guests that the car was stand
ing ON the sidetraok when he went up
town, but that. it had in some mys-
terious way moved over to Meridian
without him, or without his knowl-
edge, and they would have to go to
the hotel and take supper with him.

Washington. March 1S.-The immigra- tion bill prepared by Chairman Shattuc, of the committee on immigration and naturalization, and accepted by the com mittee, was by him reported to the house today, with the recommendation that it be passed.

 The bill excludes from adm ission to the United States anarchists or persons who believe in or advocate the overthrow by force or violence of all governments or forms of law or the assa assination of pub lie officials. Another new class of per sons excluded is epileptics and persons who have been insane within five years

The section re- lating to contract labor includes persons who have been induced to come to the United States by offers, solicitations, promises or agreements" and the section includes the words those who import or attempt to import which it is claim ed, will catch the contractor even if the laborers are not landed.
 The bill also provides that inspection shall be made from time to time of all reformatories, insane hospitals charitacl institutions etc., and that all aliens who are there found who have become public charges under the law, are to be de- ported.
