The speech in question is too volu-

take excerpts from this great argu-

which win be interesting to our read

"There are two measures before
this committee. One Of them might
properly be said to be a bill to sup
press fraud, and the other might very
properly be called a bill to suppress
an American industry. Every man

Speech-A Great MSsourian-

One OF the most brilliant speeches
made in congress so far this session
was that of the Hon. William S. Cow

a whole committee in opposition to a
pending bill intended to literally tax
oleomargerine out of existence. The
brilliant Missourian had not proceed

when representatives on the other
side Of the question in order to soften
the effect Of his forceful logic, began
to hurl at him annoying interrogato-
ries, out he was ever ready with an
Swer that was pointedly, intelligently
and cuttingly given. The speaker,
who is very popular in Lafayette
county, was frequently interrupted
by applause and received an ovation
at the conclusion of his rema' ks.

It Is a great pity that the Lexing-

condition OF seeming iuoccuous
desuetude and new life should at once
be put into the organization. While
in active existence this society got
together many valuable papers and is
now 10 splendid condition for another
beginning Of usefulness. Prof N.

lain still feel deep interest and with
Nhe proper work an historical society
can be orga lized here that will not
only prove beneficial to this communi-
ty but to the state at large.
Among the many papers now in
the archives of this society the at
tention of the INTELLIeENCER has
be,n attracted to a lot Of papers con-
nected with the history Of one Nicolas
Carper, a colored slave, who, after
securing his own freedom in some
way, went to work to purchase the
freedom of his wife and children. He
enlisted the assistance Of a minister Of
the gospel 10 Ray county and another
in ST. Louis, to which city he had
-remnved, and what he accomplished

big new melodrama, "a Fight for Mil
lions" will be seen for the first time on
any stage. The production, which is said
to be the most elaborate ever staged at
the Academy, has excited the most un-
usual interest and crowded houses will
undoubtedly be attracted by its stirring
scenes, which will include a num-
ber of spectacular novelties. The
Wednesday matinee will be profession
al matinee, at which many prominent ac-
tors and managers will be in attendance.
"a Fight for Millions" it is promised,
will contain number of wonderful new
scenes and situations made possible by
the recent discoveries of science. The
marvellous wireless telephone is intro
duced with thrilling effect. and in a
scene in which practical demonstration
is made before the audience of this in
trieate, wizard-like mechanism, the MUIR
derer is confronted by confession. the
climax being intensely dramatic and cop
vincing. In another powerful scene the
brave young hero. his faithful sweetheart
and her devoted mother are shown flee
ing from danger in a submarine boat.
The surroundings are realistic to de-
gree. The bottom of the Hudson River
is seen, with its dark, turgid wateys flow
ing swiftly along. Through the green
depths this remarkable craft, ablaze with
electricity. speeds with its precious
freight to haven of peace and safely.
The characters of the play. interpreted
by well-known actors, are all human. an
in the play there is a story of love, faith
and trust that will go home to every
heart.
