completed within the appropriation, or
that the board should not have let a con-
tract for a building but half finished.
When the legislature makes an ~approprla-

barn which seemed to catch its eye.
w all admire buildings handsomely
designed, but, considering the. present
needs Of many of our educational and

homes for the Missouri mule or our

all they ask"

should be, or else the salaries of the Off

Chilli cothe School Impressed Conn

The members of the committee were
particularly impressed with the conduct
Of the industrial school for girls at Chill

mittee desires to emphasize their approval
of the educational system of this school,
which teaches these girls to sew and
mend, as well as to sing and paint; 1t
and run a sewing machine, as well as to
play piano; they can bake bread and bis

Split in Committee Over the State
Fair.
The committee split over the Sedalia
state fair. Says the majority report,
signed by Stampfi and Gardner: This
institution badly needs two more cattle
barns for exhibition purposes; also build
ing for dairy, poultry, agricultural, horti-
cultural and mineral exhibits. Exhibitors
must be accommodated with adequate
facilities and space; they should not be
expected to place their valuable live

ucts and expensive art exhibits, In crude
and dangerous surroundings"
To all Of which Chairman Heather
takes exception in emphatic and pic
turesque language. He quotes the law
under which the fair was established in
1888. The Law contained this proviso
THAT the legislature shall not appro-
PIRATE any money from the general reve-
nue. fund for the support, Improvement or
maintenance of said fair, or for any
premiums or awards offered by the board
of directors of said fair, nor shall any
money hereafter appropriated to or fol
the state board Of agriculture, the State
Horticultural society or the Agricultural
college be used in any way for or on be-
half of said fair"
Under the provisions of this law says
Senator Heather, 1.-THE fair was located
yet before the ink was dry upon the law
establishing same it's friends were before
the legislature two years ago asking fol
an appropriation, and got $4,000. They
are now asking $3.50, 900. / am. opposed tc
