Mrs. B. H. Bowman, wife of the
former publisher of this paper has
taken to the stage and is appearing
in St. Louis under the name of Miss
Jessie Russell. The Stage Amateur,
paper devoted to the St. Louis the

Even with the most stringent laws
that it is possible to devise how is
it possible to prevent railroad COM
pany making it profitable for John
Smith to ship his freight of any sort,
by certain route? Admit that he
pays out SO many dollars. just as
many as his competitor; admit that
he takes a receipt for it, and that on
the face of things no discrimination
is made in his favor by the railroad
company, what is to prevent this same
railroad company in any one of num-
erous devious ways from secretly add
ing to the bank account of this same
John Smith? Let this be considered
lest we expect too much from legis-
lation establishing commissions and
clothing them with certain technical
powers.

they look upon the matter as mere

There is probably no place on earth
better than country newspaper Office
TO learn how many kinds of people
there are. Some get huffy If state
ment is sent, others will not pay until
they receive a statement. Some will
pay without a statement and others
won't pay whether a statement is sent
or not Some thought they owed more
and some thought they didn't owe SO
much. Some say they couldn't get
along without the paper, and others
say it doesn't amount to much. But

like Depew criticises railroad bill, it
is safe to accept it as being good bill
