Monroe City, the Queen of the Praes gains Prestige and
Strength Commercially the years roll BY 1t the Shipping and
Agricultural Outlet of Monroe Rails Marion and Shelby Countless

ba rrels pei day. Then there are the grist
and the wool carding and grist mills, three
wagon factories, blacksmith shops and
paint shops galore A Modern Hospital is
one of the institutions pointed to with pride.
But the latest is the new $4,000 elec.
trio light plant, which is said to be one of
the most complete apd best in the State.
Of course the Queen is amply provided
with fire protection. She has good lot of
Fire Laddies who can operate the twelve
horse power gasoline engine to a fareyou
well.
What kind of citizens have we? Well,
it is the Missouri stock improved on and
grated from the Virginia and Kentucky
stock with a good dash of Northern and
Eastern blood in it. Enough of it to make
the people hustlers full of energy aud the
''git there" that wins out.
How are we off wher it comes to the
Afro American class? There is a smaller
per cent Of them in Monroe City than any
town in Northeast Missouri. Right mere,
permit us to say, she is the Queen because
she has no rivals. Her trade territory be.
ing unusually large, being all the country
between the City Hall and four County
seats New London, of Rails; Paris, of Mon
roe; Palmyra of Marion and Shelbyvlle, of
Shelby County.
Why no rivals? Because buyers always
pay the highest market prices and the mer.
chants sell goods for less than they can be
bought elsewhere.
In twelve months time lands have ad
vanced from 30 to 100 per cent. In con.
clusion permit US to say, that though Mis-
souri, is rated the fifth State in the Union,
in reality she is first, aud the Queen is in
the best part of il.

DEATH LIST UNCHANGED.
Flood vi ;.:ims at North Topeka Num-
Der Twenty.

Topeka. Kan, June 3.-The food
situation here~is materially better.
The Kansas rfver fell during the night
at the rate of an inch an hour. The
standard gauge measurement at a. IN.
showed a twenty-seven-lnch fall from
the highest point of Sunday. 1t is sale
to say that all who were in peril have
now been removed to places Of safety.
Al the Sardou bridge alone over 200

The previous estimate Of twenty
dead is still adhered to. Many re-
ported missing are showing up, but 1t
will only be possible to give the actual
loss of life when the waters have f.
nally receded. 1t is believed that sew
eral persons were drowned and that
their bodies have floated away.
The greatest fear now in Topeka Is
an epidemic of disease. At relief de-
pots. where refugees are huddled TO-
gether, several persons suffering with
contagious diseases were removed TO
the hospitals as rapidly as possible.
The absence of good drinking water
is another disease breeder.
The Commercial club has voted to
ask for outside aid for the sufferers.
Monday, the club voted that no aid
from outside would be accepted, but
the distress Of the people is so great
that the community cannot provide
for all and so the charity OF the cOun-
try is appealed to.
