A RothschiId Funeral.

Vance Thompson in Everybody's
Magazine for November, describes, In
"The Rotbschilds of France" the
pageantry OF Baron Arthur Rothschild's
funeral
"The Baron Arthur" says Mr..
Thompson, "was weakling; he was
unregarded in his lifetime, the news
papers SAID he died by bis own hand;
but his funeral served to illustrate the
family magniiicence and social power
oil traffic was stopped in the main
thoroughfares of the city through
which the procession passed. For
hours the heart of Paris ceased to beat.
Business ceased. Trans and buses
we're arrested. Hour after hour the
lo1g funeral crept through the boule-
VA'ds while Paris looked on 10 wonder.
The same Paris had seen the old poet,
Victor Hugo, borne to his grave in a
pauper's cart. The dead Baron went
with medieval pomp, though he was
but nephew Of the house First
came three coaches with the rabbins.
Then the hearse, with great plumes,
drawn by eight horses in sable cloths.
Then the house servants: buffers in
white silk stockings, ushers in gilt
chains and livery; Wallets, coachmen,
iootmen, stable lads; buglers, masters
of hounds and horses in pink guards and
beaters OF the preserves, and, conspic-
uous, the huntsmen, leading in the
leash the Baron's favorite hounds-and
the hounds leaped in leash and bayed;
followed, too, his farmers and the
peasants of his fields; and with all
went the Family, and, in a mile of
carriages, the aristoeraoy Of France
paid homage; with such pomp the
Baron was taken to his grave; and the
earth was laid upon him and he slept.

Help us 10 Help Each Other

To all Friends of Dairylug in Missouri:
Your State Dairy association is now
IS years old and will hold It's sixteenth
annual meeting at Jefferson City
November 1911. 1t has struggled
along all these years without penny
OF State aid, subsi,ting solely on the
voluntary contributions of those
interested in dairying and through the
efforts of selt.sacrifce of its officers.
Its growth and power for usefulness
have been retarded and lessened for
lack of means, the officers being often
compelled to draw on their own
pockets to pay the expenses Of the
annual meetings. During these years,
because of our neglect of our oppor-
tunities, we have been paying tribute
to the neighboring states-last year
Missouri paid them more than S2,OOO,-
GOO for butter cheese and milk.
The officers of your State Dairy
Association are earnestly striving to
"turn the COW around'-to not only
keep this money at home but to pro-
duce enough dairy products for home
use and some to sell to other states.
We need your help to do this,
Americas best dairy experts concede
that the natural advantages possessed
by Missouri should make her the
greatest dairy state in the union--our
state pride as well as our pocketbooks
should prompt us to do this and the
officers Of your State Dairy Associa-
tion are seeking to arouse the people
throughout the state to the Importance
OF energetic action.
We want to make the Jefferson CITY
meeting November 1917 the greatest
dairy convention ever held in America
and to get every newspaper in the
state to talking dairying. We need
for our speakers the best daiying
experts in the country-these command
big pay and travelling expenses We
want to offer such prizes as will bring
out splendid exhibit Of dairy pro-
ducts-this viii require considerable
cash, We want to print and distribute
a large number Of the programs and
other matter about the meeting; the
correspondence aud postage are big
items of expense but if you and the
other COW owners of the state will
each felp us little we promise you
such a meeting as will merit your
hearty approval--one that will do
credit to Grard Old Missouri. We
earnestly appeal ia you to help us by
sending your membership fee now,
and please try to induce your neighbors
to do likewise. The officers of this
Association do not receive one cent OF
pay. NJ. V. CARROLL, Secretary.

Burned To Death.

The community has never been
more painfully shocked than it was
Thursday afternoon when it became
known that Miss Florence Hall had
been fatally burned in an accident at
a reception. The news was radidly
spread over town by the departing
guests, some of whom were almost
hysterlcal with grief and excitement.
The accident occurred at the home
Of Mrs. J. H Hall, whom Miss Flor
ence was assisting in entertaining
large number of guests. On the
corners of a table were some candles
with paper shades. One Of these
caught on fire and Miss Hall took it
up, carried it to the back porch, and
threw it into the yard. 1t is supposed
that a piece Of the burning paper fell
upon the skirt of her dress, for when
she returned to the room her dress
was seen to be on fire. When Miss
Hall discovered this she ran back to
the porch to avoid danger to the
guests and before anything could be
done to extnguish the flames she was
completely enveloped. Frantic with
pain she was unable to stand still OF
lie down until the ladies could bring
rugs and blankets to smother the fire.
she fled from place to place in the
yard. When she was finally caught
IT was too late to render her any aid
Several physicians were called bu

The Cattle Situation.

Chicago, Sept 6.-Urgent demand for
cattle, which week or ten days ago
was holding prices at a very firm lev
ell, is now an absent feature in the
trade, and while no very considerable
decline has been noted in prices there
is a weak undertone to the whole mar
ket in all but strictly choice classes,
which kinds form a small proportion
Of the offerings at present. The mar
ket has been badly overstocked, last
weeks arrivals totaEng 1900. while In
two days thus far this week offerings
have been upward Of $4,000. Such
heavy marketing at this season OF the
year must necessarily weaken the price
range and particularly since the gen
orally good quality of western rangers
puts the latter in rather strong COM
petitive position in the trade against
medium and habitat natives.
Big marketing has crowded beef
coolers full. and while the consump-
tive outlet in late weeks has been OF
healthy breadth, receipts have more
than kept pace with any growth in the
demand. Trade needs a rest from
heavy receipts before there can be
much betterment in prices, and con-
