have insisted that only members of

pealed to the Civil Service Com

has been sustained by both. The
President practically says to the
labor unions that they may expel

must work under him whether he

not The man has been reinstated,

Americas Oldest Mines In Missouri

The Oldest mines IN America are
the lead and nickel mines ut Mine La
Motto, In Madison county. They
were worked by the Indians as early
as 1926 and have been in continuous
operation ever since. The Indians
carried the ore to Ste. Genevieve
where II was traded to the French and
Germ n settlers for beads and calico
The mines were later worked by the
Spanish and were finally acquired by
a French Nobleman, La Motto, after
whom the mines were named. Dur

SUPREME COURT
0VERRULED MOTION.
Southern Missouri is Accordingly in
Contempt and Must Remove
Tracks at Disputed Crossings.
FINAL DISPOSAL MAY BE A YEAR OFF

The Supreme Court on Wednes-
day OF last week overruled the
motion for rehearing filed by t. c
Southern Missouri in the contempt
proceedings over the two crossings
at Elvins and the Crawley switch
This means that the Southern
Missouri must tear up its tracks at
the disputed points.
The contempt proceedings arose
from the action of the Southern
Missouri in effecting the crossings
within n few hours after the decis
ion of Judge Dearing at Hillsboro,
and after the Bonne Terre com
pany had appealed to the Supreme
Court. The attorneys for the Bonne
Terre suggested to the Court that
the Southern Missouri should not
be allowed to effect the crossings
until the case had been settled, and
that until the court had decided the
case, everything should be left as
it was.
The Supreme Court, acting on
this suggestion, cited the represen-
tatives of the Southern Missouri to
appear before them aud show cause
why the railroad should not be in
contempt for making the crossings
while III appeal was pending. At
ter hearing the arguments on both
sides, the Supreme Court handed
down an order commanding the
Southern Missouri to remove its
crossings. The Southern Missouri
then filed its motion for Il rehear-
ing which was overruled.
Whether the Southern Missouri
will tear up the tracks or leave
them until the case is finally dis
posed Of is not known. The ap.
peal taken by the Bonnie Terrr
company from Judge bearings 5
opinion rendered ut Hillsboro will
not be argued for some time, and
possibly year will intervene be-
fore the Supreme Court does any
thing

CONSIDERED LONG TIME.

The plan to launch Senator
CoLkrell's boom has been under
consideration for long time. The
Senator's friends IN Missouri began
to talk about it several months ago.
They waited patiently for the East
and then the Middle West to pro
pose IA satisfactory candidate,
They saw the Parker boom dimin.
ish and disappear and the German
boom burst of too much imitation.
THE organization men of the
State began to sound old line
Democrats like ex Governor Fran
els regarding the availability of
Senator CockrelI. The replies
they received were so uniformly
encouraging that it did not take
them long to make up their mind
to act.
Within a few days, at an in
formal assembling OF Democratic
leaders, held at Clinton, Mo-, the
subject was brought up again for
discussion, and it was resolved by
those present to make an early an-
nOuncement of the purpose of the
State organization to support the
Senator. Practically every mem.

important to Teachers.

Prof. W. I. Darlington, State Sup
srintendant Of public schools, furnishes
US with the following items, which are
important 10 both teachers and school
directors:
The next regular examination of
teachers will be held in each county
on Friday and Saturdy, August 81
and 90. Teachers should note the
dates. The law says "on the fourth
Saturday and preceding Friday" and
that brings the examination little
earlier in August this year.
There will be something doing in
the educational field in Missouri dur
ing the months of September, Octo-
bcr and November A three days
teachers meeting will be held in each
county. Every teacher in tho State
will attend one meeting. Every direc-
tor and patron should do so. Let
complete arrangements be made early.
The last Legislature left the text
book situation just as It has been for
the past six years. The contracts
entered into in 1897 are just as bind
ing now as they ever were. Publish
ers have given bonds to have the
books on sale ut two places in every
county Of the State. Failing to COM
ply will forfeit the bond. On the
other hand, It is illegal to use any
other than the adopted books. 1t is
hoped that teachers, patrons and pub
fishers will ali comply strictly with
the letter Of the law. II there Is in
justice anywhere, let the next Legisla.
tore provide the remedy. Any failure
on part Of publishers to keep books on
sale, or any attempt TO substitute an-
other for the adopted book should be
reported promptly TO the State Sup
erintendsnt Of Schools.

Scotch Ministers Scarce.

At the recent general assembly
in Scotland it was shown that the
decline in the number Of candi.
dates for the presbyterian ministry
was as great us that of candidates
for holy orders in England. The
number of students in the four
divinity halls had decreased from
22S in 1888 to 81 in 1902. The
cause of this decline was attributed
to the commercial activity of the
times.

God does for the sinner what the
sinner can not do for himself. The
sinner cannot regenerate himself.
He cannot work for his pardon.

guilt of sin, the sinner must from
that point begin to work along
with God for his deliverance from
the power of sin.

C0UNTYS COST IN
STRIKE ARBITRATIONS
Five Hundred Dollars viii Hardly Cover
Witness Fees-Cost 10 the State
About $500.
LOSS TO COMPANIES AND MINERS

The loss to the county in witness
and sheriff fees during the Two
recent arbitration proceedings will
probably amount to over $500.
This additional expense to the
county comes at time when the
contingent fund, from which this
must be paid, is practically de.
pleted aud when $4 600 in war.
rants are standing against it.
There is a total of s. 900 out.
standing against the contingent
fund, but there is now on hand in
the fund 81 900 which soon will be
used to redeem the older warrants.
OF the s. 900 remaining the larger
portion is drawing interest at the
rate Of 6 per cent per nnnum.
An exact estimate of the cost to
the county in the two strike inves-
legations cannot be given, as the
warrants were issued to the various
witnesses by Secretary Childeis of
Board, and he has made no state
ment of the total amount. An
approximate estimate can be ar
rived at, however, from the num-
bers on the warrants, which have
been presented to Treasurer Hens
ley for registration. OF 1927 20
in warrants already registered the
numbers are distributed between
Nos. 25 aud 40, showing that
total of about 100 warrants were
issued, since they were issued con
secutively. The average amount
for which each warrant calls is
about So 30, which would make
the total of $3.50.
Treasurer lIensley is of the
opinion that all of the warrants
standing against the contingent
fund, including those issued in the
strike Investigations, may probably
be paid off after January Is, 1904
though possibly not till January
lj, 1905.
The large deficit in the contin-
gent fund is n result of the exprn.
ditures in quarentining the county
during the smallpox epidemic of
the last two years.
Besides the cost to the county,
which includes only witness fees
aud sheriff fees for serving papers,
the State has expended, or will ex.
pend, i'll the neighborhood of 800
or $500 as fees aud expenses Of the
three members of the board and
the stenographer, making a total
cost of about 81 600 to State and
county in the two Investigations.
The loss to the companies in the
non production Of lead cannot be
owing to the difficulty |
in obtaining figures on their daily |
productions.
The strikers have probably lost
$l5, 900 or more in wages. In the
first strikes ut the Federal and
Commercial plants, 700 men were
ont of employment about one week,
causing a loss in wages of fully
81 500. Twelve hundred men were
out at the last two strikes at the
Desloge and National plants, and
their loss in wages amounted to
about 81, ,20o or more.
Allowing for other expenses and
losses the total loss to State. coun-
ty and strikers, not including the
companies, will amount to not less
than $4,000.

SOLUTION or PROBLEM

In selecting Senator Corkrell
as their candidate for President
the Democratic leaders Of Missouri
believe that they are Offering 10
the party the most advantageous
solution Of II perplrNing problem
that has yet been suggested. They
assert that no other Democrat
whose name has thus far been as
socated with the nomination com
biues so many qualifications that
are likely to prove attractive. not
alone to the delegates of the next
National Convention, hut 10 the
rank and file of the Democratic
voters, as Senator Cockrell.
The Democratic leaders of Mis-
souri, recognize that there is no
precedent for Offering to the ma
tion AS candidate for President n
man who wore the Confederate
gray, but under all circumstances
they feel that the people will not
regard that feature of General
Cockrell's history as an unsur-
mountable barrier to his ambition.
Nevertheless, it is more or less of
an experiment. and its success will
depend upon how the Northern
delegates to the next national con
vention regard it.
THE old prejudice against talk
ing a step that might revive the
bloody shirt may prevail, but Sen
ator COckrell's friends in Missouri
do not believe il will. They feel
assured that his record in Congress
will appeal so strongly to the
Union survivors of the Civil Wan
that his record as Major General OF
the Confederate Army will not be
used against him.
