A school commissioner in neigh
boring county asked every teacher
who took a local or county paper To
hold up their hands, and when only
six out ofu hundred responded h" pro-
ceeded to give them a lecture for ex.
pecting the papers to publish notices
oftheir institutes, entertainments and
saudry complim ntary notices when
they manifest so little appreciation.
Notlong since the Appeal heard a man
high up in educational irclesexpress
the opinion that teachers as a class
read less outside OF text books than
any other class of PROFESSIONAL people
with the result that as class they
are less posted on current affairs than
the average run otpeople. We believe
each teacher should be required to
subscribe for one county paper and
one daily metropolitan paper and
each day should be required to
devote some time to events Of interest
as chronicled by the press. A teacher
with no knowledge outside of his text
books is small potatoes, and few in
a hill.-Paris Appeal.

of one OF it's citizens
"Mosias Jones, who was born with

lived here all his life, reached his I'D

We want to impress ON ourIeaders
that Boschee's German Syrup is posi-
lively the only preparation on the
market to-day that does relieve and
cure consumption. 1. contains the
specifics, such as pure tar, extracts
OF gums, etc., which have been 80
highly endorsed for the cure of colds,
coughs and consumption by tine
great medical congresses. The con
sumptive, whether his disease is in
the throat or lungs, must have rest
at night, and be free from the spasm
OF dry anu racking cough in the
morning. The diseased parts want
rest, healing and soothing treatment,
and the patient needs fresh air, good
food, etc. German Syrup will give
free and easy expectoration in the
morning with speedy and permanent
relief. Small bottles, 25 cents; reg u

KELLEY AFTER John A. LEE.
The Fugitive in Canada May Re-
turn to ST. Louis.

St Louis, June ia st. Louis
lawyer who met Daniel j. Kelley in
Canada says Kelley told him that he
had "A bundle ofletters from John A.
Lee that Lee wouldn't like to have
the people of Missouri see. He be-
lieves Kelley is preparing to return
and tell all he knows about the alum
deal. Kelley wants revenge on Lee.
II Kelley should come, he would be
welcomed by the prosecuting officers
because he knows and can tell all
about the 1903 alum deal which no
one else seems willing to explain.
Now that Lee has begun to tell re
luctlantly, OF some of the things that
happened soon after he made his first
confesson, he has unburjened him
self OF another detail that he kept a
long time.
His story ia that he received tele
gram from Kelley in which Kelley
said: I'll you don't retract what you
said, will expose some OF your other
deals" There may be a slight mac.
curacy in the wording, as Lee gave it
from memory, but the quotation is
SO near this language that it is the
full sense OF the telegram.
The signature was "k.," but Lee is
sure it came from Kelley. 1t was sent
before the New York papers had pub
lished the fact that Lee had signed
a confession, and given it to the at.
torney general, Mr.. Crow. 1t was
about the time that Lee says persons
interested in getting him out OF the
state were Offering him n thousand
dollars to stay away. These stories
come from Lee in such "A hesitating
way that they have caused those who
heard them to wonder whether or
not Lee did not really think well Of
the $1,000 a month proposition
until Kelley sent the telegram and
frightened him into coming back.
Lee is not IA willing witness He
tells his story piecemeal and does it
in y way that does not Indicate a

PAYNE WANTS TO LEAVE CABINET.
Is Only Held in By Strong Representa-
tons Of President and Friends.

Washington, June let would
not be surprising, in the opinion at
many well informed persons here, II
Postmaster General PAYNE should
retire from the cabinet in the near
future as a result of the investigation
of his department and the ill-health
which it has incurred. From excel
lent authority it can be stated that
only the urgent representations OF
President Roosevelt and party lead
ers prevented Payne from resigning
a short time ago. When he and the
president, with other members of the
cabinet and many prominent Repub
lie IN senator's, were in Cleveland on
June 10 to attend the wedding OF
Senator Hanna's daughter, Payne
himself brought up the subject, He
declared he never would have accept
ed the portfolio il he couli have fore
seen this investigation. Ii wasmo
dispensing to him to have to con-
duet such an inquiry into the former
official acts OF old friends and he was
sick and tired of the whole business.
besides being in actual ill.health. He
then expressed a wish TO retire from
the cabinet. The president, Hanna
and other members OF the gathering
persuaded him from such a course,
declaring it would be the worst thing
he could do both for himself and the
party, But now Payne is even more
than before a target for criticism and
some newspapers are demanding his
retirement. Even his best friends re-
greet what they term his unfortunate
management OF the publication of
the Bristow report, his early tlippant
comments ON the Tulloch charges
and his hasty action in the removal
OF Metcalf, chief OF the money order
division.

Missouri Mussels as Exhibit From
Palestine.

IdltSllue.
Mussel shells from Missouri will be
shown at the Worlds Fair in ST.
Louis as an exhibit from Palestine
The largest manufacturers of shell
souvenirs in the world are in Bethle-
hem. Until recently the shells were
imported by the merchants of that
historic city altogether from the Red
Sea. Recently it has been discovered
that the Missouri mussel shell, found
extensively on the Mississippi River,
taxes a finer polish and lends itself
more readily to ornamentation than
even the famous Red Sea variety.
Several shipments have been made to
Bethlehem and at least one Bethle-
hem merchant will show IN his dis,
play OF Oriental goods shell
souvenirs made from Missouri mus.
sells.
Even Missourians will be surprised
to learn that the mussell shell fishery
of the State, centering at Hannibal,
Canton and La Grange and taken
with crowfoot lines and rakes,
amounts to about two million pounds
annually. The fish output OF Mis-
souri, amounts to more than two
million dollars year. The Missouri
Worlds Fair Commission is planning
an adequate exhibit of the buffalo,
cat, croppie, bass and other fish
abundant in Missouri waters. Only
the Missouri mussel, however, will be
on exhibit from both Palestine and
Missouri.
