A Flood Of Fools.

The advertisements Of the great
Adam Forepaugh & Sells Brothers
United Shows call special atten-
tion to their fun-making eontin-
gent Of forty clowns, and there is
plenty of proof at hand that it is
an unprecedented array, both in
number aud ib-tickling talent. This
circus was the first one to make
the clowning real, live laughable
feature, and the resulting success
has encouraged it to still bigger
and better effort in that direction.
T Eoreisn agents sent from Europe
such a delegation of famous fools
that they are said to have made
the Holsters laugh in transit, and
our own side of the water furnish
es a band of button bursters, at
which even the editor of comic
weekly would be forced to smile.
This motley gathering makes ev-
body howl with its champion exhi-
bition games of baseball, football
and golf; its pugihstic matches;
its races, riyalries and hits and
skits at the follies of the day. In
fact, these forty merry gentlemen
appear to be much more than
clowns in the ordinary acceptance
of the term. They are artists
high-class comedians, impersona-
tors, mimics, musicians, acrobats
and pantominists, and they are
full of originality and vim. Asso'
eiated with them are drOves
schools, cavalcades and packs ot
clowns, with trunks and fippers,
and in fur, hair and bristles-fur
enough to fill all hearts with glee
and of the right kind to please al
classes, The date here is Tuesday
September 8.

Folks Influence.

Repeated from the New York
Evening Post:
Such vigorous vindications of
the sanctity of the law as Circuit
Attorney Folk has been securing
in Missouri have an indirect effect
which is perhaps more far-reach-
ing than their direct. Jnst now
there are indications that St.LOuis
is about to abandon the policy of
nOn-enforcement of excise laws so
long in practice there, and which
b as earned for her the distinction
Of beihg one of the 'wide-open"
towns of the West. The campaign
has begun with the vwine rooms"
which in st. Louis represent the
means of approach to vice of all
sorts. The old system was to per-
NIT these places to go on under
the protection of the police and
politicians of the ward. Occasion
ally when complaints grew too nu-
merous, a license was taken away
for day or two, but it was invar-
IDLY handed back again, either to
the former proprietor or to his
chief bartender. Now the wine
rooms are being closed and kept
closed in the face of all kinds of
threats snd protests. Another in
stance of Mr.. Folks influence in
the crusade is reported by a st.
Louis paper. A member of the
municipal legislature was observed
by a reporter at the ticket Office in
the railway station. hat, ex-
claimed the reporter, You pay
your fare'" "Oh, yes, l do now, 1"
replied the delegate.

BOODLER EXILE.
Kelley, The Baking Powder
Lobbyist, to Expatrl-
ate

jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 30.-
A story is current here that Daniel
j. Kelley. the legislative agent of
tn e baking powder trust. now
spending his time in Canada, is to
go to London, and, surrendering
his allegiance to Uncle Sam, be-
come a subject to King Edward.
There are indictments--at least
three in number-pending against
him, in each of which he is charged
with having purchased the vote Of
a Missouri senator. He does not
seem inclined to face these charges.
He will remain in his present
abiding place until the senate
rial trials are disposed Of, as he
wants to be close enough at hand
to be of some assistance to the
senators who have gone into the
tolls.
Kelley, it is stated, had arranged
to go to London this month, but
the continuance granted the de-
PENDANTS in the bribery cases deny
his going at this time. He will /,
therefore, postpone his departure
until November, taking passage
for London as soon as the trials
are closed.

Engineering as a Life Work.

1t is a striking fact that gradu-
ates ofengineering schools have po-
sitions as soon as they graduate
while graduates in many other
professions "go begging" for
months before finding a position.
In June of this year twenty-fOur
men graduated from the Univer-
sity Of Missouri at Columbia aud
at once secured positions. in fact
the demand was not supplied by
the graduates and many under
graduates we're able to secure em-
ployment.
The expenses Of learning Engin-
eering are not great AT the school
which we have just mentioned,

from $3.50 to 5000 per year. This

DEPLoRABLE ACCIDENT.
A Former Audrain Boys
Awful Death.

killed by the cars at Montgome ry
City. He was born and raised
near Worcester, this county. All
our readers will be interested in
perusing the follow wing from TIE.
Moberly Democrat, giving more
of his death:
It is the sad, painful duty of the
Democrat to chronicle the death Of
another citizen OF Moberly. The
duty of a newspaper is sad enough
when it is called upon to announce
a death under any circumstances,
but much more sad is that duty
when the deceased was in the
prime and vigor of young man
hood and young womanhood, and
whose death comes suddenly, un-
expectedly aud without warning.
This sad. narrowing duty has
again fallen to our lot. Charles
Poor, the subject of this notice,
was killed last night by traiu on
the Wabash, near Montgomery
City, and what makes this fatal
accident the more deplorable is
that only six months ago, Feb. 81,
of this year, his brother lost his
life by being struck by train on
the north line of the Wabash.
Charles Poor was yesterday as
sistlng in managing the Wabash
train which was carrying the
James s. Younger Wild West
Show. This show was at Mont
gomery City yesterday and being
somewhat slow in getting away
last night Charlie was sent down
the road to flag an incoming train
and give notice of condition of af-
fairs. 1t was the last time he was
seen alive. 1t seems tile train he
was instructed to flag was also
late and it is supposed that, get
ting tired of waiting, he sat down
on the track and went to sleep.
Those in charge of the coming
train and the one that must have
struck him, say they whistled
twice for the fiagman on approach
ing Montgomery City, but neither
saw nor heard anything of him.
They further distinctly felt jar
and supposing they had struck
some one stopped the train and in.
stituted search, but failed to
find any one. Coming on to the
depot they reported what had hap.
pened and others then started
back along the track and the deaG
body of Charles Poor was discov
cred,
Mr.. Poor was twenty-three years
of age. He leaves to mourn hi

er, Edward Poor, and six sisters

You will find that the law of competition is as deadly, the survival of the fittest' as unerrng ly death dealing throughout this same peaceful scene as in any center of the street in the midst of bull and bear fight. For instance, look there at that small cedar, struggling pitifully in the tolls of the luxurious growth of 'nOi- son ivy that almost covers it. The casual observer notes the contrast of the foliage, d pretty sight, and gives no thought to the war Of life and death the two are waging. Wherever the cedar puts up stronger branch there fastens another tendril with
