II Missouu's surplus EpouItry product
had been shipped to market on on, train
last year the train would have been
composed Of 2o,75l cars, and would have
te'u 1872 miles long. 1t would require
lO,529 cars to carry tho live poultry
allowing l6,OOO pounds to the car 1928
cars, 10000 pounds to the car. for the
dressed poultry: 775l ears, allowing 80
cases to the car to carry the eggs, and
for,y.,hrec cars, allowing 1900 pounds
to the car, to carry the feathers.
And this is only about two hfth= Of
the poultry product OF Missouri, the

In the shipment of live poultry last
year, Muuror county led, with H. 3,U4l

DIE, sd poultry than any other county
ia lie state, her surplus product hcing
800 ,u53 pounds. Green county lends in
tie shipment OF eggs, her product being
5,5is. $50 dozen,
The most remarkable thing about tho
poultry production, considering its
immense value, is the fact that in iturly
every instance it is carried merely as
by.product of the Missouri farm, com
parati,ely little attention being paid to
it, and very little actual capital invested
10 it, so that it is nearly AL profit.
1t is e,timstcd that not to oeScecd two
fifths of all the egg and poultry pro-
duced were shipped out Of the y9rious

the principals has died since the taking
Of the appeal.
The suit for the divorce was insti-
tuted by Henry H. Western, and the
judgment denied a decree in mis- favor
and granted a decree in favor Of Mrs
Western, and also gave the wife the
custody Of the minor children, and all
the property which stood in her name.
Justices Rudkin and Crow concur in
the result of the opinion filed, but they
sign separate opinion, in which they
hold that the appeal should have been
dismissed. 1t is their contention that,
inasmuch as all the property in con-
troversy was the separate property of
the wife, the right Of the husband to
have a portion awarded to him was d
personal right which died with him.
1t was not subject to testamentary dis
position, and would not pass to his
heirs or personal representatives by
operation of law. The executor had no
interest in the proceedings.

IA VeRMs WILL REOPEN

Being unable to meet several obliga-
tons the management Of the La Vern
theater was forced to suspend last
night. The house will be closed until
Thursday night when benefit will be
given for the Walla Walla Military
band. All the members of the company
have rendered their services and an
excellent program of specialties will be
given. The band will render a good
program preceding the performance;
many new selections and a large num-
Der of favorites of standard authors
will be given by the band.
Commencing next Monday the theat-
er will be again opened with the same
company giving some one Of the pop
ular plays. Frank Montgomery and
Professor George Herbert have pur-
chased a nalf interest in tine business
and they will carry on the show from
that date.

to his office and shreds of his power,
while the lean and hungry howl about
MIN for prey. He stands them of
with something like the energy of a
rangy but unhandsome cur defending
a bone.
It is this swagger and front of prac-
tical politics in Platt's career which
probably makes the man believe him.
self it is a failrue for the holding of
position has been the end and not the
means the end with Plat. He be-
came a senator because it was a con-
venient station from which to exert his
bosship.
His name is unconnected at WASH
ington with any useful or unusual
piece of legislation. Indeed, the con-
trast between the two Platts, of New
York and Connecticut, might serve to
contrast the senate of the thinkers
and legislators with the senate of the
bosses. Plat of Connecticut was hard
ly known to the general public, but was
sadly missed from the senate, for it
transpired that he was one of the men
VINO furnished it with ideas, VINO fur
bished up and finished laws, who
sought through the books for prece-
dents and who gave their learning
freely to the committees if thereby
they might serve their country. Plat
of New York never contributed ideas,
for so far as known he never had any.
He never was noted for learning in
any branch of statecraft and it is un-
likely he was ever sent for when men,
tai stimulus was needed. 1t was only
wnen politics and scheming for party
position or private profit entered into
a question that such men as Plat and
Quay became active. Otherwise they
were patronage mongers only, sitting
down like vultures and waiting pa
tiently for something to die. They
were expert at picking the bones of
administrations and when they had
stripped a president of all the patron
age he could give they were ever
ready to combine against him.
Japan has ner elder statemen who
are leaders of her thought. America
,uc has her elder statemen, but un-
happily they are not elders to whom
we point with any degree of pride
We are trying to get rid of our elder
statemen and replace them with a
younger generation of men whose
thoughts quicken to the aspirations
of their country. We would exchange
our Platts and Aldriches for men like
La Toilette, Bailey and Beverage, men
VINO know a trif1e less about bossing
the people and a good deal more about
the necessity and virtue Of serving
them.

A DOG WORTH HIS FEED.

A Springfield, Mass, bulldog last
week paid for all the bones he can
wear out for year by his splendid
work in holding up burglar. The
craftsman entered the store of H. F.
Fletcher & Co., early in the morning
Mrs. George A. Deland, who lived up
stairs, saw the burglar climb through
a rear window and called the police.
When the police arrived the bull pup
in the rear hallway was holding a man
by the seat of the trousers with wise
like grip. The dog released his hold
when the patrolman grabbed the bur-
glar. The dog smiled in a knowing
way and frisked his tail as though he
should say: I'm a small, hot dog
When the proprietor of the store ar
rived, he saw to it that the dog break
tasted on a ricI1, pink, soup-bone that
cost SC, the sound Of the gnawing of
which could be heard for a block and
a half, and the flavor of which caused
the pup to purr.

Senator Plat is accounted a sue

He went down with Roscoe Conkling

MAINE WAS SHOCKED.

MainePwas handed out an earthquake
a few days ago that reminded old in
habitants of the time when the demo-
Gratis and greenbackers carried the
state in 1880 and elected DR.. Garcelon
governor. The election was the hard
est shock Maine ever experienced.
Most of the old republicans who had
been voting the ticket ever since 1852
felt that the war had been fought in
vain and that the south was again "in
the saddle" Scion Chase, with them
steers" had marched through Maine
from end to end and fired the popular
heart. Many republican tears were

she never did it again, and the people
now cannot be led to believe that She

Wealthy Boston Girl Announces En-
qaaement to Leading Actor.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Despite the
opposition of her mother and her fam
lily, Miss Mary Helena Sharpsteen, an
heiress of Boston, yesterday announced
her engagement to Enroll Dunbar, a
we'll known actor, whose nome is at
the Players Club. While definite
it will be celebrated before August 26,
when Mr.. Dunbar starts on an extend

The young woman is the only child
of the late Clark L. Sharpsteen, for
many years a member of the Paris
house of Arnold, Constable & Co. She
was born and educated at Paris. AT
the death of i1er father eight years
ago, an annual income Of $4,000 was
settled on her until the death of her
mother, when she will inherit her
fathers entire estate Of several mill
lion dollars.
Miss Sharpsteen also recently in
herited another fortune from an aunt,
the wife of Professor Michael, well
known authority on chemistry. One

able piece of property in Beacon street.

Miss Sharpsteen's home in Beacon
street, is one Of the finest residences
in Boston. There can be seen wealth
of art treasures gathered by her dur
ing her long residence abroad and on
her many short visits. The front and
the rear of the house are guarded by
Japanese stone lanterns. The gate on
the Charles River entrance is a dupli-
cate of the Hotel de Vile of Paris,
while a Venetian stone balcony, stud
ded with mosaics, overlooks the river

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
MIR. HILL ON PUBLIC OPINION

James ]. Hill, inventor of mergers
and tanner of Wall street bronchos.
has seen a great light which, shining
across his pathway, says to him:
There is public opinion
1T is says Mr.. Hill, 1.-The great cor
receive and punitive agent in this re-
public Public opinion, it would seem,
Furnishes in this country, and not the
law, for there is too much pull
Mr.. Hill is a notable conversion to
the standard Of public opinion. There
have been times in his career when he
y seemed to deny it's existence. When
>Er Hill formed his first plan for the
absorption of the Northern Pacific
railroad into his Great Northern sys-
TEN, both the law and public opinion
in the northwest were against him.
But re went forward with mis- plans.
When at last he bumped hard against
both public opinion and it's manifesto
ton in law, he was very much dis
gusted He had not calculated on find
ing either one so real or so hard.
So Mr. Hill has had experience with
public opinion and public opinion has
hai experience with Mr.. Hill. They
have learned to know eacn other bet
ter. Public opinion has learned to dis
tinguish between Mr.. Hill and the run
OF Wall street gamblers. 1t has learned
to respect him as a creator of values
and a director of industries. The more
he keeps out of Wan street the better
the country likes him. -
On the other hand, Mr.. Hill seems
to have learned that public opinion is
the real thing. We must all, great and
small, bow to public opinion. We may
find it hard to recognize it, especially
wnen it hits one of our pet projects
or theories. But it is not difficult to
learn a great deal about public opin-
ion, provided one keeps his mouth
closed and his mind open. There have
been times when Mr.. Hill was quite
dense on the applicability of public
opinion to himself, but it was applied,
just the same. Mr.. Hill did not like
the mustard plaster, but he wore it
ard was a better man for the expert
ence.
Having found that public opinion is
one of the chief safety valves of the
republic, Mr.. Hill has no hesitation in
calling it to the attention of some
others who may not have noticed
whittier they are drifting, to the at
tention of Mr. Hartman, Mr.. Depew,
Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan and Mr.. Paul
Morton, for example.
