He Is Only a Printer.

He is only a printer Such was
the sneering remark of a leader in a
circle of aristocracy-codfsh quality.
Who was the Earl of Stanhope? He
was only a printer. What vas Prince
Edward William aad Prince Napo-
leon? Proud to call themselves print
ers. The Car of Russia, the Crown
Prince of Prussia and the Duke of
Battenberg were printers, and the
Emperor of China worked in q private
printing office almost every day. Will
liam Caxton, the father of English
literature, was a practical printer.
What were J. P. Morris, N. P. Willis,
James Parker, Horace Greeley,
Charles Dickens, James Buchanan,
Simon Cameron, Schuyler Colfax?
Printers all, and practical ones. Mark
Twain, Amos J. Cummings, Bret
Harte, William Dean Howells, Joel
Chandler Harris and Opie P. Read
were plain, practical printers, as were
Artemus Ward, Petroleum V. Nasty,
and SUIT Lovingood. Senator Plumb,
Of Kansas, and James ]. Hogg, ex-
governor of Texas, were all printers,
and the leader of science and philoso-
ply in his day made it his boast that
he was a Jour" printer. In fact, thou
sands of the most brilliant minds in
this country are to be found in large
cities and towns. 1t is not every n
that can be a printer-brains are alb

which it is intended the American flag
shall forever float to the southern
breezes.
The style Of architecture employed
Is what the architects term Renais-
sance classic-on the order Of pavil-
ions, joined by wings. and in which
are quarters for all branches of the
government, equipped and arranged
in the most convenient and modern
manner The approach, or main en-
trance, is to the south, and yet there
are imposing entrances on all sides,
which lead to the broad and high cor
ridors on the second floor, where are
located the legislative halls, one at
either end Of the building, but Of easy
access and communication. Between
and to either side are the Offices of
the governor and other officials-all
conveniently and Systematically ar.
ranged for the accommodation of the
business Of the State with least fric-
ton to officials or callers.
The legislative halls are handsome
ly finished, the arrangement being
that the stands for the presiding Off
GERS are at the entrance, while the
desks of the members are In semi-cir-
cular form and facing the door-that
arrangement being exactly opposite to
that in the capitol which is soon to
be abandoned.
On the first floor will be the Su-
preme Court room, the handsomest
apartment in the building. This is in
the east wing, and the library is To-
Gated In the opposite end. Between
are the quarters of those officials who
have most to do with the public-the
auditor, treasurer, land commissioner,
insurance commissioner, revenue
agent, superintendent of education,
railroad commission and others.
On .ne ground floor the State Board
Of Health, Department of Archives
and History, the Hall OF Fame, store
rooms for records and relics, quarters
for the Board of Control and other
commissions.
The inside decorations are as hand
some as are to be found anywhere.
The feors and walls are of marble and
scaglioia, and the legislative halls and
Supreme Court rooms have been dec
GRATED lavishly with stucco and col
ored plaster, which gives a delightful
effect, and does much to impress the
average visitor with the greatness and
the ability of the State to hold her
own in any contest.
A IS, 900 electric plant furnishes the
building with power to run the two
elevators and thousands Of incandes-
cents, which make Of the mammoth
structure a dream of beauty by night
as we'll as a JOY forever by day.
Entering the capitol grounds from
the south the visitor Is forced to pause
in admiration Of the front design, or
the tympanum that towers above the
magnificent flight of broad Italian

An Echo of the Reunion.

He was not from Mississippi, and
he didn't come from Arkansas, either"
said a man who likes the funny side
of things. HE came from Tennessee,
and-whisper 1t not in Gath-he came
from the city on the Cumberland, the
same which is sometimes called the
Athens of the Observation-Disclosures
capital of the State. His name shall
be nameless for the purposes of this
yarn. He was fresh from the region of
the gurgling cascades, and his cheeks
were aglow with the rosy effects OF
the julep and other things of fame in
the middle section of the State from
which he came, and his lose wore the
rich, rare purple Of the violet. He
was loyal to the colors of Tennessee.
He was stopping around at the Den
echaud with a few friends during the
reunion, and uttered no complaint
against conditions as he found them.
except the n hereinafter to be noted.
namely, that he could not sleep.
'Dura'd f l kin sleep a Bit he said to
a friend in the rotunda Of the hotel
one morning. after he had shambled
down the long stairway along about
the breakfast hour. What's the mat
ter, old man. asked his friend, any
thing pesterin' you? Yep he replied,
'durn'd I kin sleep fer the pesky lights
in my room. Blow 'em OUT said the
friend. Blow 'em out!' he exclaimed.
Like ter see you blow 'em out. Can't
blow 'em out. Durn'd t | ever seed

dear to the people Of Mississippi, and
there are thousands who grieye to
think that the old landmark has crum-
uled into decay and must SO 0 be
demolished. The original cost of the
old capitol was about $400,0O0
From IN historical standpoint there
Is perhaps no building in the South
that will compare with this old cap
itol. Beneath it's ample roof have
been held receptions and conferences
OF national Importance. questions Of
the gravest import to the State and
nation have been debated in Its gilded
halls, funeral orations that consigned
to the tomb men Of greatest virtues
have been delivered there, orators
whose superiors the world has never
seen have filed its corridors with
their e~loquence; it has seen politicians
tremble and quake with gratitude at
the cast Of a single ballot, while 9TH
ers were buried in oblivion
1t was in this old building that Mis-
sissippi, in 1910, rendered her recep-
ton to Gen. Andrew Jackson. 1t vas
here that she extended a generous
welcome to Kossuth, the Hungarian
patriot, and whose memory is still
cherished by all lovsrs of liberty. 1t
vas here the fires Of secession we're
first kindled. 1t vas here that the
representatives of the several
ties declared the State out Of the
Union. 1t was here she Bonded the
knee and came back beneath the folds
of "Old Glory" 1t was here aliens
and camp-followers of a victorious
army arrayed the former slaves
against their old masters and taught
them the art of ofice-getting. 1t vas
here that the BLACK and tan" legis-
latures assembled. 1t was here that
articles Of impeachment were pre-
pared against Adelbert Ames, the Mas
sachusetts governor, that hurled him
from place and power. 1t was here
that plans were laid for the overthrow
Of black Republication in Mississippi.
1t was here that the Constitutional
Convention of 1900 relegated the ne
gro to the rear and declared that
henceforth he was to have no voice in
the management of Mississippi affairs
unless, perchance, he proved him
self worthy and entitled to the right
of suffrage.
No wonder, then, that MISSISSIPPI
plans all consider this a hallowed
spot and hesitate to wipe 1t out of ex-
istence. However, the step has been
taken, and the next legislature will
be called upon to pass an act of demo-
lition, and in a very few more years
the site will be occupied by modern
business blocks, or else the whole will
be converted into a magnificent park,
where the children of future genera
tons will be wont to congregate and
romp and frolic.

stone ceremony proper, the Master

The members wore the regalia Of the

No Delay In the Ceremony.
There was no delay in starting the
ceremony. The procession of Masons
opened to the right and left and the
grand master assembled to the plat
form where the cornerstone was to be
laid, just under the post cochere on
the main facade. The stone, a small
bit of granite, smoothly polished on
n side, bore this simple inscription:

CLEANING OUT BUILDINGS.
One-Third of the Area Re-
occupied In Kansas City.

occupied IN Kansas Cttys
Kansas City. Mo-, June 6.-At dark
Friday night the water had receded
from one-tenth of the flooded area,
and the unoccupied district was
promptly ~reoccupied. The territory
reclaimed included the Union depot,
which suffered $25, ZOO, and a portion
of the railroad yards. The recession
of the flood has caused a lively de-
mand for unskilled laborers to repair
railroads, clean out buildings and car
ry rubbish, and with the Kansas
harvest near it is expected that every
man willing to work will have steady
employment for many weeks to come.
The electric light service has been
resumed. The saloons will be re-
opened Monday morning. The in
habitants of the lowlands seem per-
fectly contented to return to their
homes as the water leaves, but rail-
road men and heads of big industries
say there must be a radical change in
the bottoms. Some favor raising the
level of the railroads and business
houses; others would widen the Kan
sas river channel and some favor
building dykes along the Kansas riv-
er, with the aid of congress. At any
rate, the bridges will be rebuilt high
er.

Should Be Muzzled, Like Dogs.

From a New York exchange comes
this: when l see dogs and horses
muzzledN." said q middle-aged lady,
whose face wore an expression of
loathing as a man lear swore volubly,
land when l hear men use language
that no animal would USE, could it
talk, l often think what a blessing it
would be If some men could be -muz-
zled or gagged-better gagged, l
think. II such a proposition were made
publicly it would be met with shouts
Of derision, / know; but would it be
SO bad, after all. The howl would
come entirely from those who would
be In danger Of being muzzled if such
an ordinance went into effect. Some
parents, if they hear their children
swear or tell a tie, wash out the
youngsters mouths with soap and
water. / should like the position of
manager in a washhouse to which
men heard using vile language in pub
lie would be sent to have their mouths
washed out with a~ssafoetida."

buildings are nearly all gone, but tho
houses are still standing. A few
blocks west of Kansas avenue some OF
the outbuildings are still standing,
and all over town scores and scores OF
o~utbuildings are seen in all sorts of
position. The small houses which
were in the full force of the current
are about the only ones which were
carried from their foundations. The
greater part of North Topeka is a
great waste of sand piled up over the
steets, house floors, railroad tracks
and everything, burying the city from
a mere coating to a depth of two or
three and, in some places, four feet.

NUMBER OF MISSING INCREASED.
Death List Approaching One Hum
dred at Topeka, Kas.

Topeka, Kas., June 6.-Thirty or
more persons are now classed as miss
ing. Without doubt some of the bid
les will never be recovered, and the
death list is approaching one hundred.
The water has now receded more
than six feet, and is going down at a
rate of an inch every hour. Good
work is now being done to save such
property as was not swept entirely
away.
In the part of town north and west
of the Rock Island bridge the damage
is very great. The houses were most
~ small and in the full force of the
current. The yards were swept clean of
outbuildings, and many of the houses
were turned a quarter of the way
around and partially slipped from
their foundations. Further east out

RIVER FALLS AT HANNIBAL.
Business Portion Inundated and the
Situation Not Bright.

Hannibal, Mo-, June 6.-The Missis-

this fall is due to the break in the
Sny @levee, whereby a vast volume of
water poured across the lowlands' of
Illinois. Hannibal is still inundated
in her business portion, and the stu
alton is very gloomy. No Burlington
train moved Friday, and of the other
roads very few trains were operating.
With the principal manufacturing in
dustries flooded and closed down hun
dreds of men are out of employment,
and a large number of travelling men
are waterbound here.

Danger Point Believed to Have
Passed at Jefferson City.

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 6.-The
Missouri river reached its maximum
height at two o'clock Friday when the
guage registered 31.4 feet above low
water mark and stopped. No further
danger is anticipated at this place.
The rise of more than one foot last
night stopped the electric light plant,
and as the gas plant had already been
flooded out the city was in total dark
ness Friday night.
