A Pleasant iion,e Event

On Wednesday, Oct. Goth, we
had the pleasure Of being visited
by the Woman's Temperance
Union Of Montgomery City and
vicinity. They came, those sweet
spirited christian women, to add
one more day Of blessed sunshine
to our hearts and home. We pray
that God may send a most gracious
blessing on every one who crossed
our threshold on that occasion. -
How delightful TO bc encompasscd
by such host. Two honorary
members were present, who added
much to the meeting. The w. G.
7. U. Is an organization Of christ
ian women banded together for
the protection OF the home, the
abolition Of the liquor trafilc and
the triumph Of Christ's golden ruIc
In custom and law. The society
was organized Nov. 1920. 1874,
In Cleveland, Ohio. This society
Is organized In every state and
territory Of the nation, and locally
In about ten thousand towns and
cities. 1t IL tho largest society In
the world composed of women and
conducted entirely them. Their
badge Of white ribbon 10 symbolic
Of purity, peace and everything
that stands for the betterment aud
protection OF the homes. The re-
sponsive readings were fine. The
meeting throughout was conducted
with grace and dignlty, which Is
so characteristic OF our w. c. T.
U. leader. In fact nearly every
lady present gave In a most gra-
clous manner . talk expressing
deep interest and sympathy with
the work. Tho honorary mem
bers, last but not least, gave ex-
oelleut talks and expressed them
selves In hearty accord with our
aims and principles. Come again,

Moo4Oo0ory Couuty's Low uaxes
One of tho great hobbies among
some democrats iu Missouri this
year is sbout the very low taxes In
this state compared with that Of
the republican states Of Iowa and
Illinois. Some Of these Missouri
democratic Gill tell any thing to win,
whether Il is true or not. Well
here In 4 little sample from Mont
gomcry county, which has been =
democratic county and run by
their party for over Thirty yesrs.
The rate Of taxation In this county
this year, says county clerk. Pit
Henslcy, Is every dollar that the
law will allow, and the school tax
IL the same. The rate Of taxation
In this city. aiso run by democrats
ever since Il was n city, Is within
ten cents on the 500 valuation oi
all u 10 allowed b assess, says the
city clerk. Aud yet the people Of
this city donated the county court
house and jail. and the county
owns nothing but the poor farm,
some bridges and many poor roads.
This city has no public buildings,
collects annually $f,s00 from
saloon licenses besides some busl-
ness licenscs-and the great query
is and should be, where does all
the money go to. A. the city

the operating departments more ,ihcr4
oughly equipped than at any time
since the beginning oil the strike the

yards took on the old hum Of activity
TO d great extent Over $4,000 head Of
live stock wa received here today
This Il an increase Of 59.uuD over cor
responding day last week Such an
enormous amount CT live stock would
under normal conditions have had a
depressing effect on tho market and
today when tralnloads Of animals he
can 20 pour into the yards, stoekmen
and traders feared panic but it lid
not occur Prices were lowered sharp
ly; but the fact that the market held
80 well seemd to prove beyond arsu
ment that the packers are prepared
to increase their output
The packers bought 5000 cattle, H.
hogs and 10000 sheep during the day
Before nightfall 80 per cent had been
slaughtered. further proof Of the claim
Of the packers that the difficulties OF
the strike are being overcome was
furnished by the shipment Of 500 car
loads OF fresh meats from the stock
Yards. OF the number 400 cars were
loaded and shipped by firms affected
by the strike AS near as could be
estimated tonight $50 union men Of
various trades on strike returned To
work during the day. The packers
claim today'a daeerticna make the to-
tai number OF strikers who have re-
turned To work at least two thousand.
Chief Of Police ONeill who has tax

Today was mcra free from yiolsnc.

There were several disturbances. bu
Inc police experienced little difficulty
IN restoring order The crowds usual
ly seen at the entrances of the yards
were no longer In evidence today and
wagons carrying meat passed through
the streets unmoleste1;
Saloon fights between union and
nonunicn men were more frequent
today. During these quarrels today
one man was shot and another stab
