county Exhibits Being Collected

The prophecy that Missouri would
be adequately represented at the St.
Louis Worlds Fair is no longer a
matter of conjecture. Il is a con-
frmed fact. Besides the 1000, 600
dollars appropriated by the legisla-
nre for the state, the individual
counties are making further aPpro.
priation. Last week the Nodaway
county court appropriated 400 dol.
lars for collecting, arranging and
preserving specimens Of wheat, corn,
and fruit for exhibits and telegraph
adyiees to St. Louis papers of later
date Lafayette county a
second in the move, appropriating
500 for the collection Of agricultural
exhibits.
What il means in return for the
various counties of Missouri to be
adequately represented aghoultur-
ally and hortieulturally at fhe Ex-
position is almos, beyond the hope
OF the most sanguine. Especially is
every middle west state eati lied to
expect Unprecedented development,
as a result of the Fair, and Missouri
may hope to lead the van.
Already Missouri has more APP
pletrees than any other state in the
Union, aud for some years she has
slternated with New York and
Michigan as the chief state 10 APP

The people Of the state OF Mis-
sour are growing very tired Of
boOdlers and boodling aud may
conclude to put the Republicans IN
power next year, When the Re
publicans were in power in this
state, with all their alleged faults,
they paid of 10000 600 of the
state debt and reduced taxation and
caused a more rapid increase of
wealth than has been done by the
Democracy IN any twice the length
Of time. The people may remcm-
Der this and conclude to try them
again. The Democracy has always
accused the Republicans of stealing,
but they have made the people
prosperous and the country rich,
while the Democracy have tried the
same game and only made the peo-
pie poorer and the country bank
rupt.

The University of Missouri
school of Medicine.

The annual announcement Of the
Department of Medicine of the Uni
yersity Of Missouri at Columbia is
at hand. The facilities and course
of study show a marked improve
mcnt over last year.
a laboratory costing $4,000 has
just been completed and new appar-
atus is now being ms tailed. Every
thing will be in order for the be-
ginning of school September s.
Extensive improvements have
been made in the Busch Clinic. Il
is probable that no school in the
west now possesses better clinical
facilities.
Parker Mem orial Hospital built
at a cost OF $4,000 was opened to
patients last year. New apparatus
has been installed and the furnish
ings completed.
The course Of study shows inn
proyement. II is now four years,
90 months in length. Clinical and
laboratory work are improved and
emphasized. One purpose Of the
hospital Is TO furnish clinical in
struelion to the students OF the Med
zeal department IN order that by the
observation and study OF diseases,
they may be fitted to practice medi-
cine iuielligenly. All the labora.
tories are in charge Of men that are
supported by salaries aud who de-
vote themselves 10 teaching, writing
and research. BY a proper arrange
meat Of courses a student may re-
eeiye both an Academic and a Ned
zeal degree in six years. a training
school for nurses, connected with
the hospital, offers a systematic
curse Of study extending over three
years 10 young women desiring to
become professional nurses. Both
men and women are admitted to The
medical department.
The expenses for room, board,
books and fees vary. For medical
students who board IN The club

ian speaking OF the belief in woman
suffrage as "a fool nolion,"
Centuries ago the philosopher rla.
to said I'm the administration of a
state neither a woman nor a man
as a ma has any special functions,
but the gifts are equally ditfused in
both sexes" Aud an echo Of
Pla,o's words come to us from the
CRATES, men in every age Of the
world.
John Quincy Adams, Abraham
Lincoln, Chief Justice Chase and
James a. Garfield Beloved that the
right Of seli-government belonged
to the women as well as to the men
Of a republic,
Longfellow, Whittier, George
William Curtis, John Stuart Mil,
Thomas Henry Huxley, Theodore
Parker, Charles Kingsley and Phil
lips Brooks strongly advocated the
same ''fool notion"
Florance Nightingale, Frances
Willard, Mrs. S~omerville, Harriet
MauIneau, Mrs. Brewing, Kate
Field and Louisa Alcott were beliv-
ers in women Suffrage. So are
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Harriet
Prescott Spohord Abby Marion
Diaz, Frances Power Cobbe and
Milicent Garrett Fawcett.
Senator Hoar, President Jordan
OF Leland Stanford University,
Secretary Hay, ex-Secretary Long,
Thomas 3. Reed and President
Roosevelt are a few Of the many
prominent names that lend prestige
to this ''fool no,ionf" Oh! I'M
doubtedly it is. But how many
wise people there are who believe in
it.
This notion is linked with a host
of other notions fully as absurd.
Those who believe in the political
equality of the sexes believe that
women should have educational
equality also; that she should have
equal industrial opportunities with
men and equal pay for the same
work.
They believe she should have the
same property rights hat men have,
and Kentucky women, for example,
may with profit look back to the
time when a husband could collect
his wiie's wages and spent them as
he pleased, when manage gave 10
husband all his wite's personal pro.
perry which could be reduced to
possession and the use OF all her
real estate; when the right OF curtesy
and dover were shamelully unequal
and when Kentucky enjoyed the
proud distinction Of being the only
state in the Union in which a mar
ried woman could no, make a will.
Where now is all that barbarism ?
Swept away like the rubbish il
was by the work OF a handful OF
people who had the 'lool notion"
that men and womeu ought to be
equal in the eyes OF the law.
This "lool notion" has spread
until there is no civilized country
were woman have not some form
Of suffrage.
This fool notion" is the prin.
eiple underlying all Of woman's
progress and how strange that in
this land Of ehiyalry such a prinei.

A woman who will not whip a
child at all is entirely out Of the
modern way Of thinking, regarding
child rearing, but when she thus in-
iiets corporal punishment, and then
continues the operation because the
little one cries, she exhibits but a
small amount of common sense. A
little girl had been naughty, there
was no doubt Of that and the angry
mother (ah, the pity of IT'D was al
lowing her maternal hand to tall up.

between the United States and its

during the last fiscal year than in any
preceding twelve months. This Is
true for both exports and imports.
The figures of the years commerce,
presented by the department of com
merce and labor through it's bureau
of statistics, show that the imports
from Canada amounted to S54,660, 410
and the exports to Canada to $123,-

British Columbia, Quebec, Ontario,
Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. or
the imports of the year, $3S,0O0,O00,
speaking in round terms, were from
Quebec and Ontario, S10,000,000 from
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and

the exports $110,0OO,0OO were to Que
bee and Ontario, $7,000,000 to New

THE TURK SHOULD GO.

Chicago Tribune.-The Bulgarian
government has sent a note to the
great powers begging them to stop
the bloody work of the Turkish sol
.diers in Macedonia and giving them
notice that ii they do not intervene
in the cause of humanity Bulgaria will
be forced to take such measures as
she may deem necessary. That is an
intimation that she may feel obliged
to mobilize her army and make war
on Turkey.
After all allowances are made for
exaggeration, the Turks are sending
the Christian inhabitants of Macedo-
MIA to the other world with cruel
swiftness. They are following. as is
their habit, the Roman method of max
ing peace by making solitude. But
the instruction which the Turks are
endeavoring to put down was irritat-
ed by Bulgarians with the knowledge
and perhaps the encouragement of the
Bulgarian government That govern
ment knows how Turks behave when
they put down an insurrection. and
cannot consistently protest against
cruelties which it has provoked
1t is reported that Austria has pro-
posed joint vote of the powers warn
ing Bulgaria and Turkey that in the
event of war neither of them will be
supported, but the status quo will be
maintained. Turkey will not be al.
lowed to overrun Bulgaria and the
Bulgarians will not be allowed to lay
hands on Macedonia. That territory
is not for them.
A status quo which involves the con-
tinued possession Of Macedonia by the
