senting the Versailles & Sedalia X. r..
Co., accompanied by Gen. Manager
G.. ID. Able and Attorney d. F.. Wray.

junction to %enjoin Mr.. Wray from in
terfering with the survey over his land.
Mr.. Wray was represented by a num-
Der of Boonville attorneys. Through
the efforts OF Judge Williams, it was
agreed that action in the suit should
be deferred upon Mr.. Wray's written
promise to permit the survey, certain
concessions being made him by the
company as to the name Of doing
the work.

A SUBSTANTIAL BOON ON.
Some Of the Reasons for the Great
Industrial Wave Just Striking
the City Of Versailles.

We were in conversation with a
business man Just out of st. Louis
who happened to drop into Versailles
the other day and he asked. ..What
is the cause OF all this industrial stir
in your little city? Why. it looks like
an oil or gold strike had just come TO
light. / never saw SO much life in a
town of this size without any
apparent cause whatever
That illustrates what a stranger
notes in Versailles, and the reason
for all this activity is easily told. 1t
has been coming on by degrees, but
was hastencd when the Missouri Cam
mel Coal Company began active
operations here after having purchased
the big tracts of coal, clay and mineral
lands in this county.
Then the fact that the city vas
going to secure power through the
erection OF a big power plant on the
Gravois southeast OF the city was
another stimulant.
Then Mason * Hardy decided to
erect a large three-story brick block
on one corner of the square. and on
the heels OF this the Odd Fellows
Building Association decided to erect
a 100000 brick block with modern
improvements on another corner.
This was not all. The congregation
OF the NJ. T.. Church, south. decided
to erect a 10000 church building
on the site Of their old church and
they intend to break ground for the
erection OF the fine edifCe at once.
while the new coal company are now
grading for their railroad from this
city to the Richland six miles north
west.
Now these are some Of the most
important reasons for the lively.
hustling attitude which Versailles
assumes today, and there are few if
any idle people in this city at present,
1t is an industrial animation which i,
substantial and we are proud to state
that the boom will increase rather
than diminish. Versailles has jus,
started on her upward growth and
her zenith Will not have been reached
until every industry which aids If
making our city metropolitan is re-
presented here. Then we will be
satisfied.

Corn Plaster Scheme.

The White City Show people who
stretched their canvas here last week
and gave very ordinary performances
for three nights, worked a new racket
on our city authorities by the medi-
cine show scheme. The show folks
purchased a half dozen packages of
corn cure from one of the drug stores
and tried hard CD to fine some one
in their tent who had corns on their
toes. it appears, but the scheme was
prac,iced without reference to sale,
as the difference between the license
ice for the medicine show and other
tented combinations is $40 in favor
of the former, hence the White CITY
aggregation played a showman's
dodge by making their hall dozen
packages of corn plaster worth SIC
to them without making a sale. The
show people left laughing. and felt
that it was the easiest thing they had
bu.ted up against in all their born
days.

The Versailles Choral Band.

The Versailles Choral Band is now
fully organized. and is composed OF
some of the best musical talent Il
town affords. Hereafter the regular
meetings will be held on each Friday
evening at s O'Clock. While the
organization has been perfected, the
admission fee will remained 80 cents
till August 1. This is not a specula-
tive concern, but is a union Of the
singers from all the churches. for the
benefit of our town. This fee of 80
cents is for life membership, and is
but a tri1e compared to the benefit
derived. Then. each member is ex-
pected to pay ten cents per month as
dues. The money raised in this way
goes to pay the actual expenses of
the band. Soon as the members can
prepare themselves. a serious of free
concerts will be given in the different
churches: and during the Fair, they
will give a few open air oncert on
the Square. The object Of this band
is a noble one. and should meet the
hearty approval Of every citizen. The
next regular meeting will be held at
the Christian Church, Friday evening
July 20.

CARNEGIE REFUSES TO AID
Famous Philanthropist Turns Down
Faculty Member Because Too
Much Is Paid for Greek.

Not long ago the University OF
Cambridge was desirous of secur
ing from Mr. Andrew Carnegie q
large sum Of money for the cree
ton of new laboratories and the
encouragement of modern scien
titic research, says the Bookman
Sir Richard Jebb was selected al
a suitable ambassador to present
the matter to Mr.. Carnegie. He
therefore journeyed to Skibo
castle, where he was received with
much courtesy. After the usual
formalities and some general chat,
Sir Richard set forth the needs of
the university and pointed out
how much good would result
from such benefaction as was de.
sired. Mr.. Carnegie listened sym.
pathetically and seemed disposed
TO consider the request with favor.
Suddenly, however, he turned 10
Sir Richard and asked, abruptly.
"Do you teach at Cambridge,
Sir Richard?"
"0h, yes.'
"WelI, what do you teach?7
Greek
"How much do they pay you for
teaching Greek?"
Sir Richard named the amount
Of his annual stipend-a very com.
Portable sum. Mr.. Carnegie
grunted.
WELL" quoth he at last, with a
decided change of manner; "all /
can say is that any university that
can afford to waste as much mon.
ey as that on Greek doesn't need
any from mew
And so ended the interview and
the hopes of Cambridge univer,
sity.

Examination for ohaursuru.

1t is proposed in France to re.
quire that chautfeurs shall pass a
medical examination in order to
have only men absolutely sound in
charge of automobiles. Many in.
stances have been found in France
Of chauffeurs in poor condition,
with various physical infrmities.
In one case an epileptic was found
in charge Of a motor car. Over
here the strain seems to be upon
the pedestrian rather than upon
the driver Of the devil wagon. A
commission to pass upon the
physical qualification of every
man to walk the streets is in or
der. The nervous and the weak.
hearted should be kept at home,
while it is doubtful if the average
degree of Tranquility ought not
to be in some manner restricted to
