The Fulton Telegraph editorlally
says: The Mexico LEDGER edltorially
remarks that the city building COM
missioner should locate new houses,
barns, ETC., on the correct line. A
good start for the commissioner would
be the depot that has been hanging
fire. for a year or 50. The people Of
Fulton consider 1t poor reception at
the hands Of Mexico TO be housed in a
pig shelter between trains. We know
the railroads are to blame, but we
can't help but feel little sore at
Mexico every time we see the present
sUnion Depot that has done service
since the old station burned.

GRAND OLD MISSOURI.
vandiver Sings the Praises Of State
and It's Things.

SEDALrA, Mo-, Ang. 25.-Former
Congressman w. d. Vandiver was the
oficial representative OF Governor
Folk at the state fair Wednesday, and
he spoke to a large crowd Of sightseers.
Mr.. vandiyer devoted much OF his
speech TO praise OF the Missouri mule
and other animals which have made
the state famous.
In concluding his speech, Mr.. YAM
diver laid particular stress upon cor
ruption In public Office His speech,
in part, was as follows:
"After all that has been said about
our resources, our opportunities and
our blessings, our people have not half
comprehended what they are. Jeffer-
son paid Napoleon si5, 100000 for the
whole OF the Louisiana Purchase. and
1t was thought to be an immense sum
of money.
missouri is only one Of the thirteen
states and two territories carved from
that area, and yet Missouri alone last
year, a single year, paid into the fed
eral treasury for internal revenue
taxes, enough money to foot the bill
and have q million and half more to
help celebrate the event.
HWhy, there we're enough mules in
Missouri last year to have paid the
whole bill and then paid the whole
cost Of the Worlds Fair besides.
aBut am not here to talk of the
Missouri mule. He is known the
world over and his fame has spread to
the remotest corners Of the globe, I'M
til now no nation on earth dares go to
war without first asking Missouri for
a sufficient supply Of mules.
"Battleships and 13-inch guns are
made on either side Of the Atlantic
But the Missouri mule grows only be-
tween the Mississippi river and the
borders Of Kansas. At his best he is
10 hands high and weighs 1000 pounds
II take of my hat to the Missouri
mule and stand at a respectful dis
tance. The only animal with no an.
cestor Of his own type and no hope OF
posterity Of any type, he maintains bis
Importance in war and agriculture,
and demands his price wherever men
struggle for supremacy, whether 10
peace Of war.
Long may he live and fatten, grow
strong and enrich bis master. And
may his kick be felt till 1t batters
down every barrier Of trade and makes
an open door and profitable market
for himself in every land beneath the
sun.
mot only the mule, but the Mis-
souri, hog also commands my respect
for be, too, could have paid the whole
cost Of the Louisiana Purchase last
year and then paid 1t again in siS
months afterward, and it wasn't a
| good year for hogs, either.
1.-THE Missouri COW could also have
paid this bill OF SIS, 900, 900 last year In
milk and butter, to say nothing Of
cheese and beef.
"Aye, even the Missouri hen could
have paid the bill In six months and
had roosters enough left to crow ovel
