Railroads of Missouri.

The figures compiled by Wal
ter Villa ms show that Missouri
now ranks ninth among the
states of the union in railway
mileage, alower position than it
should hold or will long hold.
There are 1000 miles of railroad
operated in the state and there
is strong indication of exten.
sion aud growth-both of steam
railroads and electric lines. It
is probable that within a year
an electric line will unite St.
Joseph and Kansas City. AL
ready st. Charles and st. Louis
are connected by an electric
road. The Rock Island has
given the state another through
line of steam railroad between
st. Louis and Kansas City. In
1903 600 miles of new track was
constructed in Missouri and dur
ing 1904 the total is proba bly,
even larger. The Santa Fe has
under consideration an extern
sion of it's line from Carrollton
to st. Louis. Other railroads
are planning or considering the
planning of extensions of vari-
GUS kinds Within FIVE years
Missouri will have easily 10000
or 10000 miles of railroad all
adding to the value of property
and the comfort of living. But
two counties in Missouri are
now without railroads. Ter
years ago there were twelve.
The new raj roads in Missouri
have heretofore been construct
ed upon more or less parallel
lines east and west.-Kansas

THE OLD MANS PRAYER.
by EARLE f. GRIGGS,

"Our Father which are in heaven" in
quavering accents came
From bent and feebled pilgrim.
"Iallowed be Thy name!
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done
on earth as tits in heaven"
The old mans voice grew stonger as
a strength from God was given
"Give US this day our daily bread"
he implored: then Forgive
Us our trespasses, he continued, as
one thankful just to live,
"As We forgive those who trespass
against us" And his eyes
Grew moist with tears as before his
mind his own began to rise.
''Lead us not into temptation" and a
son who'd gone astray
Must have felt a tug OF heartstrings
DER his headlong, hayward way.
"But deliver us from evil, " and this
thought was to him sweet,
For his boy was foremostin histhought
some day he hoped to meet
H i'm, and find him changed in heart.
"And Thine shall be
The glory forever and ever. Amen"
And his soul with ecstacy
Was filled to overlooking, for he
seemed to hear it said,
'Well done, thy faithful servant" as
smiling crept to bed.

County Court Sues Collector Crow.

The county court on Wednes-
day instructed Prosecuting
Attorney Boyd to file suit
against Collector Crow and his
bondsmen in order to secure a
judgment on which the county
may recover the commissions
and penalties allege led to be due

feits for neglect of duty. The
court alleges that from April l
10 December | DR.. Crow neglect
ed to turn mo the treasury the
amounts collected each month
as required Oy law, and that
with the exception of 5000 paid
to the Paris special road dis
trict and $400 paid to the Madi.

commission allowed the collec-
tor and also 10 per cent of the
total amounts collected and not
turned in each moDth. 1t there
fore prays judgment against
the collector and his bondsmen
for $50, 600, the amount of the
official bond, and asks that an
execution for 81, 666 be issued
against the defendants. In
short, the court alleges that
Collector Crow has neglected
to turn $l4, $3.50 into the treas
ury IN the time specified by the
statutes, and that the court is
to recover 9 per cent
commission on this sum and 10
per cent more-about 81, 800
altogether--as a peualty. There
is no contention that DR.. Crow
has been dishonest, because he
has turned every dollar collect

contention is simply that be

lions over once a month instead
Of allowing it to accumulate tor
