Circulars are out announcing the
appointment of two trainmasters OF
the western division of the Chicago &
Alton. Morgan Drake will have charge
of the territory between Roodhouse
and Mexico, including the Cedar City
branch, and J. L. Marquette between
Kansas City and Mexico. Frank Mil.
Ter has been appointed acting travel
ing engineer.
Executive officers Of the @. g. A. and
other western roads will hold special
meeting next week to consider the
question of abolishing free return
transportation to shippers of live stock.
For years it has been the custom of
railroads to carry one nian with each
car of live stock, and give him a pass
back from the market where the stock
was sold to the place the cattle came
from. Investigation by railway officials
has proved that nearly so per cent. OF
the passes issued for return trips have
not been used by the persons to whom
they were issued, but sold to scalpers
and Others. Traffic officials say that
rates on live stock are lower, every
thing considered, than on any other
class of freight, and that 1t is unfair
to expect them to give return passes
to persons taking stock to market.
The State Of Missouri has a law re-
quiring the railroads to do SO, but the
railroads say the law is unconstitu-
tional and are anxious to carry a test
case through the courts.

d. s. Farmer has brought a novel
slander suit In Macon county. He
asks the Circuit Court to give him ST.
500 of B. f. Jenkins money because,
as he alleges, the latter told him by
telephone that he (Farmer) had squan-
dered $500 or s40O of the money of the
Lunday s. Zion Telephone Company.
The State law in regard to slander re-
quires that the injurious language
shall be used in the hearing or pres
ence of third parties. People are not
supposed to listen to the telephone
conversations of other people, but
they do it on party lines, especially
in the rural districts where the phone
is still anovelty, and Farmer claims he
can prove that some of them we're
doing it In this instance. Otherwise,
he would have no ground Of action.

PLAN TO STRIKE TUESDAY.
Will Tie Up Every Coal Mine in the
State, They Say, If the Owners
Do Not Come to Their
Terms.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, August 27 "A
general strike OF the coal miners Of
Missouri is imminent.
Next Tuesday has been set as the
time for Its becoming effective.
The only development that will pre-
vent its being declared at that time,
the miners say, is the arrangement BY
the operators Of plan to arbitfate.
The committee appointed at yester
days meeting Of the Southwestern
Interstate Coal Operators Associa
tion TO see President John Mitchell
OF the United Mine Workers, and en-
deavor to agree on plan to settle the
disputes in Missouri by arbitration
departed for indianapolis to-day.
Mitchell will be asked to use bis
good offices In whatsoever he can. The
operators will suggest that two new
scale committees be appointed. II
they cannot arrive at settlement
arbi tration is proposed.
The committee will urge President
Mitchell to advise the Missouri min
ers not to go on strike Tuesday, but tC
keep on working until the matter Il
finally settled.
The operators will agree to pay
whatever scale is finally decided upon
from Sept. /. II President Mitchell
or the national board cannot prevent
strike pending arbitration the opera
tors may then make a general appeal
for arbitration.
The operators voted in the confer
ence not to grant the present de
mands of the miners, and decided
that they should stand the ground In
a defensive allegiance, and that al
should fight for one and one for all, as
against the Miners Union.

Circus day is children's day. 1t be.
longs essentially to them. Tradition
has made it so, and the Mexico School
Board has, out Of the kindness of theii
hearts, delayed the opening OF school
one day to allow the children to see
4-Paw & Sells Bros. September Sth.
There was a time when ''taking the
children to see the animals, was the
most convenient excuse offered by
those who thought it against religious
scruples, or their fancied dignity, to
go to the circus. Happily that form
OF hypocrisy is now about extinct.
Years of the most careful effort by
the managers OF the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Enormous Shows
United to eliminate everything and
anything in the slightest degree i'm
moral or impolite in the character of
their exhibitions, or in the demeanor
OF their employees of whatever rank,
has at last convinced the public gen.
orally of the absolute cleanliness and
morality of the circus as place of
entertainment, and with such com
prehensive shows as are these great
consolidated institutions, a source Of
practical and profitable instruction.
There is no longer any excuse or
apology for going to the circus. The
presence OF clergymen at every per-
formance, with seldom an exception,
attests the general and sensible
change or consideration for the circus
by church people. But all this does
not release anyone from a moral obli-
CATION to take their children to see
the animals and the accompanying
circus performance. 1t is really not
only matter Of extreme delight to
the children to see the Show but 1T
is a duty as well as pleasure upon
the part of the parents, relatives and
friends to enable them to see it.
Children are recognized by the man
agement Of this consolidation as the
source of a considerable part of their
patronage, and ample provision is
made In the programme of things that
will especially appeal to their interest
and satisfaction. What all those
things are 1t is unnecessary to recount
at this juncture, but they embrace
clever comic conceits by the congress
of clowns, pretty performances by
ponies and all sorts of petite pets and
all kinds of funny fancies that will
appeal to happy-hearted little ones.

Mob violence is simply one form Of
anarchy.
Men who have been guilty of crime
like rape or murder should be visited
with swift and certain punishment.
Every effort should be made under
the law to expedite the proceeding Of
Justice in such an awful crime.
The slightest lack Of vigor either in
denunciation of the crime or In bring
ing the criminal to Justice is itself un-
pardonable.
The very existence Of the republic de-
pends upon that orderly liberty under
the law which is as Incompatible with
mob violence as with any form of des-
potism.
Whoever, In any part of our country,
has ever taken part in lawlessly put
ting to death criminal by the dreadful
torture of fire must forever after have
the awful spectacle Of his own handi-
work scared into his brain and soul.
