The finest charger in all the cavalry out
fits Of the State is TO be Governor Odelrs
mount in the column OF troops that will.
escort him at the dedicltory exercises. Coo
is the horses name and his owner is Cor
pcral Alfred Nicolovius Of BrOoklyn's crack
cavalry organization. Troop c Permission
for the use of his animal was asked through
Captain De Bevoise. commander OF Troop
c. who is aide-de-camp on the Governors
stan. II was gladly granted.
Colo is a big. coal black. spirited Ken
lucky thoroughbred. with an arching neck.
admirably poised head. flowing name and
tail. with the lines. proportions and car
riaGe OF the typical war charger. Though
mett,esome TO a degree. he Is so gentle and
tractable that a child can manage him.
Colo has been the property of Corporal
Nicolovius for a year and he has been the
most admired OF all the mounts shown
when Troop G and troops of Squadron A
have been or parade. He was bought in
Kentucky by a wealthy BroOklynite for his
daughters use, but proved too lively fo-
manage when Corporal Nicolovius first got
him. but the Corporal knows how to break
and train intractable horses and he has
made Of Colo a perfectly hammered steed-
Colo's name is a part Of his owners. When
Mr.. Ntcolovius Joined Troop G ne named
his first horse Nick Colo is the next In sue
cesstou, and II the Corporal gets a third
mount. which he hopes will not be neces-
sary for many years, he will be called
Nius.
Colo is much OF. a pet. He answers with
a whinny when his name is called by his
master and he win come to him from any
distance at which his whistle can be heard.

In response to a signal. the operator turns
a small switch. and the sharp volleys OF

deafening reports.
TIL operator is then seen to don a strange
looking headpiece. which has queer projec-
lions covering both ears.
He seems TO be listening to some voice
from the distance, and in a moment his
fingers begin TO fly rapidly over the desk
In front of him.
A closer inspection shows that he is writ

tween the words. as though the message
were coming to him through the headpiece.
And so 1t is; and. in addition. the man
ner in which the message is transmitted
is a remarkable achievement of modern
science.
Chicago, Kansas City or Omaha may be
the originating place Of the message. and

the progress made In the development OF

about the workings OF the delicate instru-

For this reason the exhibit OF the Amer

Of the exhibitor TO arrange the display so

and fifteen men. They have a
cook-boat 6x30 feet, with cooking
and sleeping apartments, which is
occupied by John Farris and wife
as cooks. They made very slow
progress for the first few days,
owing to. the very low stage of the

They are headed for Clearwater,

Der was putin the river. They ex-
pect to arrive at their destination
in three weeks, or about the 18th

thousand to haul it. to the railroad.
They have an engine and endless

MARK HANNA is owner of several
valuable special privileges, like
street railways and gas and cleo
tric light monopolies. Lately Mr.,
Johnson procured the passage of a
law authorizing cities to establish
electric lighting plants for theil
own use. According to the Post
Dispatch, ''the city council of Cleve-
land then voted unanimously tc
refer the question of issuing bonds
to defray the expense of a public
plant to the people. But when the
election was ordered flor Sept. s.
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the State
said to be owned by Hanna, sued
out an injunction against an cleo
ton at that time. So the project
is indefinitely postponed and Mark
Hanna's interests are saved by
this timely Intervention of the
courts and the State law officer
who is paid to look after the public
interest" 1t is such things as
these that make the uninformed
and unsophisticated citizen tc
ponder over the uses of courts anc
officers of the law. To me i
seems that their purpose often is
to vex and obstruct rather thar
further the ends of justice. But
being a layman, perhaps l see as
through a glass darkly.

In Memoriam.

Deep sorrow has overshadowed
a home, a light has gone from it's
home and left a vacancy which
never can be filled. Mrs. Helen
Dunn, wife of Mr.. John Dunn, of
Carver Creek, Mo-, has gone from
earth. After a brief sickness she
died on August 9th, 1903, near the
age of 10, and those to whom she
was so dear can only go to the
silent tomb and there reflect that
the cold ground now covers all that
remains on earth of the dear one
they had gone to SO often for ad-
vice and comofrt. She was q
member of the Adventist Church,
of Sabula. The cause of Christ
was dear to her. Serving God
with a perfect heart and willing
mind, she showed her faith by her
works, and we now judge from the
way in which she lived in this
world.
Although her body sleeps in
Emily Chapel church yard, her
spirit now rests under the throne
of God.
The writer having known her so
long and so well cannot help ming
ling tears of sorrow with Father
Dunn, who is left so lonely, but
words and tears of sympathy cam
not fill the vacuum in his heart
and home. This can only be filled
by Gods grace and a humble sub
mission to His will. May the God
of all Grace be his comfort and
stay in his declining days.
The writer knows by experience
that Mother Dunn never tired or
knew when she had done too much
in trying to make everybody
around her feel comfortable and
happy.
Oh! how mysterious are Gods
dealings, and His ways past find
ing out, that one SO eminently
useful and soT much needed as a
companion and in so many ways
should be cut off. Yet we must
bow in humble submission to the
mandates of the All Wise. We
say farewell, dear one. Thou art
gone but not forgotten. Thy pure,
noble life and Christian example
will float out upon the breezes.
And as the sweet odor of flowers
is waited down the corridors of
time, blessing mankind, may thy
pure life and noble graces be per-
petuated in the lives of the dear
ones who are left without a mother
and grandmother and that Gods
grace may sustain them under the
awful stroke of Divine providence.
Mother, thou art gone with
Christ to reign-to that fair cline
that's free from pain-and there
forevermore to sing, that death
has lost it's cruel sting.
Mother, thou art gone-no more
you'll pray, to turn our feet to
lions way, and walk with saints
the road that leads up to the
mount of God. Lord, resign us
all to thy good will and with holy
fear thy law fulfill till this flecting
life shall close, and then our only
hope in death. Amen.

A TOPEKA dispatch to the Kan
a City Star says the burden OF
taxation in Kansas is creating a
feeling of dissatisfaction through
out the State, and is raising a
clamor for reform. A Republican
newspaper at Atchison makes the
following pertinent comparison:
The Missouri rate of taxation for
State purposes, legislative, execu-
tive, judicial, educational, charit-
able and building, all told, is one
mill and four-tifths of a mill on the
dollar, or eighteen cents on the
500. The Kansas rate is six mills
and two-ffths of a mill on the dol
lar, or sixty-four cents on the 500
The Kansas rate is more than three
and one-half times as much as it
is in Missouri.

OF the many passages in Mayor
James A. Reeds Sedalia speech
an oratorical effort that bids fair to
become a classic-none is deserv-
ing of more earnest consideration
by all Democrats than the follow
ing: 81 should regard my De-
mocracy as of poor quality if
were to obtain great popularity in
a Republican convention or en-
thusiastic support from the anti
Democratic press. | am neither
the champion of disorganizers nor
will l consent to be championed by
disorganizers. / have back of my
candidacy no powerful combina-
tons of men who, during recent
campaigns, have been the open
enemies of the party, and who are
at this time engaged in a conspir-
acy to turn over the Democracy to
those who clamor for reputation
of party platforms and for national
reorganization. My political for
tunes have never been sy~ndicated,
and they will not be syndicated in
this campaign. | am not a candi-
date on a single issue butintend to
stand upon the Democratic plat
form and advocate its every plank"
A perusal Of these words should be
of interest to all Missouri Demo-
Gratis at this critical time in the
history of the party. We give the
speech in full to our readers this
week.
