A NOVEL SUGGESTION.

From the Ozark News.
 We suggest that some direct means be employed by which the state committee can be convinced that the common peo- ple-the Democratic masses want a Democratic primary for the state Let the chairman of the county executive committee communicate with each exec utive committeeman in the county and find out what he and his people think of a primary and then let him forward same to the chairman of the state executive committee. This would convince them of what the people want and what they dcn't wsnt.

RECIPROCITY CONFERENCE.
The Advocates of Straight Reduction
 Firmly Maintain Their Position.


 Washington, June 10.-The question of reciprocity between the United States and Cuba was again today the subject of many conferences among Representatives The advocates of straight reduction main tain their position firmly, and are devot- ing themselves to an effort to convince their opponents in their party that this is the only legal and practical channel through which aid can be given to the Cubans.
 They have definitely rejected the propo- sitlon for a present rebate and an ulti- mate commercial treaty as being too slow and uncertain, and announce their deter imitation to prolong the session indefinite ly if necessary to accomplish their pur- pose. So far there arc no reports of de- lection from the beet sugar ranks. There IS talk among them of another conference at an early date.

THE WEAKEST THING.

By Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Which is the weak thing of all Mine heart can ponder? The sun, a little cloud can pail
 With darkness yonderf The cloud, a little wind can move
 Where'er it listeth? The wind. a little leaf above,
 Though sere, resisteth? What time that yellow leaf was green
 My days were gladder; But now. whatever s..ring may mean,

 My lips asunder? Then is mine heart the weakest thing
 Itself can ponder. Yet, Heart, when sun and cloud are pinet
 And drop together, And at a blast which is not wind
 The forests wither. Thou, from the darkening deathly curs<i
 To glory breakest, The Strongest of the universe

Fast Mail Service.

Washington. June 1O.-The fastest daily mail service ever attempted be- tween New York and Eastern cities and St. Louis and Western points is pro- vided for in arrangements made by the postoffce department effective next Sunday The contract calls for a daily schedule of 23h hours between New York and St. Louis over the Pennsylva- mia Railroad. Beginning Sunday a fast mail train will leave New York at 2:45 a. m. daily and arrive at St. Louis at 2:15 o'clock Monday morning. This shortens the present schedule between New York and St. Louis by about eight hours and practically means a gain of a day for Eastern mail bound to far Western points and the Southwest.

The board also took MP some leg1ss
ElAtgye tmatters and. discsissed them ct
some length. One was the Willis bill.
which provides for the taxing of all
corporations 1-10 Of one per cent. upon
their capital stock. The board seemed
to be unanimously opposed to this, es-
pecially upon the ground that 1t meant
double taxation and might have a
tendency to drive Industrial concerns
from the state.
The bill which proposes to make the
employers liability greater in case OF
accident to employees was condemned
by the board, 1t being claimed that the
present law was sufficient. The new
law proposes to hold the employer re-
sponsibie in case one emplOye is injur-
ed by the carelessness of another.
Resolutions were ordered prepared
protesting against the passage Of both
bills, and copies are to be sent to Sem
ator Wilhelm, and Representatives

That's What the Police
Would Like to Know.
QUEER ROBBERY CASE
In Which the Puzzlo Seemed
for Awhile to be Find the
Re bber--Prlsoners
Discharged

The police place little credence in
the story of robbery which was
brought to Mayor Robertson on Wed
nesday by Mrs. Oscar Talbert, OF Stt
North street, to the effect that her
house had been entered and robbed on
Tuesday during her absence. Mrs.
Linda Winethrope and Mrs. Rachel
Dreyer, who were before the mayor
on Wednesday for examination were
both discharged.
Peculiar circumstances were brought
to light in the investigation. Mrs.
Winethrope conducts an installment
trade in women's clothes among pri-
vate families. She said that Mrs. Tai
bert had told her to bring a tailor
made suit and some silk waists to the
house on Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Upon
arriving there, the house was discov-
cred to be open. Mrs. Winethrope
entered after knocking but Mrs. Tai
bert could not be found. After wait
ing until 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
the woman left her goods with neigh
Dor and went away.
Mrs. Talbert returned home and Sc
cured the clothes from the neighbor.
Another visit was made by Mrs. Wine
thrope in the evening but the house
was tightly locked. On the next day
when she returned. Mrs. Talbert made
a complaint about the house having
been robbed and would not give up
the clothes.
When the saleswoman went to the
mayor, she was told that complaint
had been filed by the Talberts against
her sister, Mrs. Rachel Dreyer. whom
they had mistaken for her and charg-
ed with robbing the house. After
hearing the case Mayor Robertson dis
charged both women and ordered Mrs.
Talbert to return the clothes left by
Mrs. Winethrope in her house. After
the incident, little attention was paid
to the robbery story.
