STATE FAIR.
Should Not Receive One Cent From Gener--
al Revenue Fund.

Senator H. Clay Heather, of
this Senatorial District, was
appointed by Gov. A. M. Dock
cry as one member of the com.
mlttee of three to visit and ex.
anime all the State institutions,
located elsewhere than at JET
ferson City. There are nineteen
such institutions. Senator
Heather in company with the
other members of the committee
has visited and examined the
conditions of these institutions
and ascertaiDed, so far as posi-.
BILE, their needs and has made
report. This report tavors a
just and liberal allowance for
each institution but in many
instances has cut down consid-
erahly the amount asked for by
the boards of the institution.
But, we will pass all Oy except
ing what is known as the Mis-.
souri, State Fair located at Sc.
dalia. When, this fair was es.
tablished by the legislature in
1899 lit was with the under
standing that there was to be
no appropriation from the Cen
eral Revenue. Fund; yet in 1901
the directors Of this'.fair went
before the legislature and sue
ceeded in getting an appropria-
tion of $4,000. This year they
boldly ask for LS150, 900 from
the General Revenue Fund.
Two members of the visiting
committee favor giving to the
fair 100000, but hats off to
Clay Heather, he says NO and
makes minority report in
which he gives many good rea-
sons why such an appriproa ton
should not be made. He is
right in all of them. We regret
that lack of space forbids US
printing the entire minority re-
port of H. Clay Heather. Mis-.
souri, has reason to be proud of
her educational and eleemosy-
nary institutions, but the $780,
600 asked for by the directors
Of the State Fair could be spent
much better on some other iu-
stitutions. With Senator Heath
er, we say do not give the
State Fair one cent.

Matching we'll the summer skies,
Blushing cheeks and bridal dress
And the minister, to bless,
Twenty years ago.
And l ask as l look back,
DER the long time beaten track,
Would you now as you did then,
Answer yes" and start again?
Knowing all, doth sad regret
Chide the hour when first we met?
Would you, knowing, have said
"no?"
Twenty years ago.
Mem'ries of those heeting years
Full of mingled joys and tears,
Tears for those who crossed the bar
Bright to us as evening star:
Hearts rejoiced by little hands
Sent from Heavens golden strands
There are things we did not know
| Twenty years ago.
| Love hath burned away our tears,
Sent rainbow through the years
So that looking down the stream,
Like some half remembered dream,
Cometh back those by-gone hours
Wedding chimes and bridal flowers.

in the United States and many other
civilized countries against the murder
Gus attacks upon the Jews in Kishinef
last spring have not been without prac-

that the Russian government has been
moved to vigorous action in the matter
of investigating and Furnishing those
who were responsible for the Kishineff
massacre. Eight hundred arrests have
been made and as a result of the prelim-
mary examination $50 persons have
been remanded for trial in the lower
courts. Four hundred and fifty cases
have been sent to the court of appeals
of which So are indictments for man.

been ordered, the trials of those accused
of numbering and horribly maltreating
the Jews at Kishineff will occur in Sep
tember at Tirshol.
The services of four distinguished
lawyers have been secured to assist
the prosecution in the murder cases,
and three we'll known lawyers will aid
in the prosecution of the Synagogue
property cases.
