PROSP-ERITY.

Prosperity everywhere in this fa- vored land. Business booming to most extraordinary extent,crops, the biggest ever Real estate investing and exchanging going on to an aston ishing degree. Railroads taxed beyond their capacity to carry, even with their enormous increase of rolling stock. Surely these be prosperous times.
 In 1900 it was supposed we had reached the limit as to the five great erops-corn,hay, cotton, wheat and oats. Yet the value of these great crops in 1900 was $8,20O, 100000, against $1, 900, 100000 in 19O0-an increase of T2 per cent. in five years. The aggregate value of all agricultural products, in- cluding all items of the farm and or chard, for the current year is estima- ted at $7000O00 00Q-nearly double the sum of six years ago. Roughly, with comparatively small increase in the ag- ricultural population, the farmer this year will have $1,OOO with which to buy where six years ago he had $500 and ten years ago $4OO
 Other expansions have kept pace. Five years ago the pig iron production was 26O,o0OOo0 tons, of an estimated value of $SOO,OOO,OO0; in 1905, 375, ,OOO 900 tons, of an estimated value of $596 00O,- GOO. Gross railway earrings in 1901 were approximately a billion and a half dollars; in 1906 they promise to be two billions and half; in 1905 approxi- mately five billions, with three billions and quarter in savings banks, and four billions and quarter in state banks and trust companies. The end of 1906 will probably see fourteen billion dollars on deposit in American fiducia- ry institutions, or an average of $75O per family.
 Is all this too good to last? Probably there will come less joyful days. But the trend of this great natioq is on- ward.

When We row oid.

The tallest lilies droop at eventide, The sweetest roses fall from off the stem The rarest things on earth cannot abide, And We are passing, too, away like We're growing old! We had our dreams, those rosy dreams Cf youth! They faded and twas we'll This aft erprime Hath brought us fuller hopes; and yet, We drop tear now in this later To think we're old. We smile at those poor fancies of the past A saddened smile, almost akin to pain, Those high desires, those purposes so vast Ah our poor hearts! They cannot come again!
 We're growing old Old? Well, the heavens are old, this
 earth is, too Old wine is best, maturest fruit most
 sweet; Much have we lost more gained, al
 though 'tis true We tread lifes way with most un- certain feet,
 We're growing old! We move along and scatter as we pace Soft graces, tender hopes on every
 hand; At last, with gray -streaked hair and
 hollow face. We step across the boundary of the land

ouR STATE CONVENTION.

The Republicans of the State in con- vention assembled here have resolved upon the nomination of our popular and esteemed townsman, Lieutenant Governor Woodruff as their candidate for Governor, and to-day's convention will see this gentleman designated as our chief standard bearer in the conn ing election He has served well in the various positions of trust with which he has been honored and our city takes pride in him.
 Last nights campaign guns fired by ngressman-at-large Lilley are fit ting opening to the political struggle for supremacy His speech well covers the field. It points with pride &C., cording to the usual custom, and it presents much that is vital concerning the record of the Republican party and what it stands for to-day The assembly of Republicans at the Hyperi- on last night was of the old stamp, a gathering of thinking men, well versed
 in public affairs, and alive to the inter- ests of our little, yet mighty common wealth, and to the wisdom of the con tinuance of the Republican party in power.

oBBM4Al,s FOOD 1XsrEoEIoN.

Germany Is shining Axanlple as re- gards food inspection, and she nAS stouelcs of her own. too, in this very thing, aud !u spite of carefully system attzsd government inspection. Ths law Is frequently evaded And dsletsFtous food is sold. But ;he SSxen system: os inspection accomplishss great good. That it has a beneficial result is shown in the report of Carl 5ailey IIucst, American consul at Plauen. But even after years of Government inspection enough appears in the results of in yestigations to make it plain that the German people have no ground for criticising the United States if they judge by their own experience. Eack year the market in Saxony, the consul says, is becoming gradually purged of deleterious food products, but the use of borax and other harmful things in preserving meats is still carried on to considerable extent. sausages are adulterated with meal or bread Many samples of milk were found diluted and cheese is madc with potato flour or grated potatoes. As high as 31 per cent of water was found in butter and imitation butter is sold as the genuine article. Oils were adulterated as vel as sugar. Fruit jams were found tG contain glucose, grape skins, and dyes and one ingenious manufacturer made
 pure plum jam of beets, salicyli( acid was found in various beverages and other means of adulteration, more recently disclosed in the United States appear to have been common in Ger
 many. It is to the credit of the Ger
 man government that strict measure
 are being taken to eradicate the evi the same as in the case of the United States.

CLOTH FROM BARK.

Consul F. c. Eager of Bremen is in- formed that the recent visit to that city of resident of New York city who has discovered the wide possibili- ties of a native to produce bark cloth has exerted a lively interest among im- porters, manufacturers and the Ger man government. The consul writes:
 This product is bark peeled from an East African tree and pounded by the natives into, cloth in pieces of from two to two and a half yards in width and four to six yards in length. The tree is of the genus Flseus and grows, it Is said, In inexhaustible quantities all over Central and East Africa. The most interesting feature of the bark seems to be the good spin ming possibilities of its fibre. Although

The Wellesville, Mo-, Record Is warm in its praise of old Missouri It re- marks: Missouri Is the garden spot of the earth. There is but one thing that would excuse a man for leaving the state, and that is to avoid being lynehed. We would not leave to avoid that calamity. We have noticed that a majority of those who leave here in search of fame and fortune return clothed in rags and full of regret. There is not a place in all the wide world where so small an amount of en- ergy will procure so many of the ne- cessities and comforts of life as in Mis- souri. Here we have everything that heart could wish. There are sunshine and shade, water and wood, fruit and flowers, grain and grass, corn and cash. There are spirited horses, stately mules, splendid cattle, superb sheep and such swine as Missouri alone can grow Best of all, we have the most beautiful women in the world. In our homes there is happiness, in our lives there is love in our hearts there is charity. In Missouri we reap the rich est blessings of divine favor

OUR PURE .FOOD LAK.

On January 1 nextthe pure food law goes into effect and means much for the people of this nation. The Pure Food Commission is determined that in the labelling of packages and bottles the intent of the law shall be carried out fully. The ingredients of the food or the medicine rRust be printed in lot ters which can be read at a glance. Fine print will not be permitted; nei- ther will brands or pictorial devices which are of misleading nature The proportions of the ingredients must be set forth clearly, including those of the drugs and spirits in proprietary medi- eines. This will dispose of the charge that some of the patented medicines rely for their effects on alcohol and morphine.
 The government laboratories at Philadelphia. Chicago, Baltimore and New Orleans will be enlarged and new ones established in New York and Bos- ton. The commission intends to keep

THE sUCCULENT SNAIL.

A Curious Industry in France and
 Switzerland.
 The snail as a food has been the sub juct of discussion by well known pre- late within the last few days, and a comparison was drawn between it's dietetic value and that of the oyster, to the detriment, 1t may be said at the outset, of the latter Whether the con- clusion Is backed by the result of an- alytical or chemical examination is of little importance to us. In fact, we shall not concern ourselves with the nutritive qualities of the snail; rather shall we discuss a more curious and in- teresting aspect of the case-the arti- fcial cultivation of the creature for food purposes.

The visit of the Indian chief at Buck ingham Palace, says the Pail Mall Ga zette, constitutes a record, for no red skin has passed within those precincts until now. An Indian princess has been received at St. James. She was Pow hatans daughter Pocahontas, and the queen consort who received her was Anne of Denmark. The imperial idea has grown since then. These braves came to see the Great White Father on a matter of vert and venison. And one of them was British enough to wear, with his possum headgear a suit of reach -me-downs.
