More material is arriving daily for

bursts forth In all its pristine splen-

The Alton trestle. east Of this city,

lumber for the false work has arrived

The trestle across the Auxvasse

The recent trials Of motor cars on
the Alton did not prove as successful
as anticipated From a reliable
source we are informed that they will
not be adopted for service on the main
line, and that II they see any practical
use whatever, it will be upon branch
lines. THE cars are not capable of
making the necessary time between

NEW ZEALAND AND INSURANCE

W. P. Reeves, the high commission
er Of New Zealand in England, writes
concerning insurance in bis country
in the North American Review. The
article is Of especial interest just now
because OF the matters prominence in
this country. The gist Of his article
is as follows:
New Zealand possesses a govern
ment system Of life insurance conduc-
ted not for the governments but for
the policy holders benefit, which has
been SO successful that the hardest
criticism OF it is that in some years
one or two private companies have in
creased their business a little more
rapidly. II American insurance COM
panies had never been criticised except
when they were not crowding their
business too rapidly it would be q
great Zeal better for this country.
New Zealand does not lattempt tc
monopolize the life insurance business
but as the result of thirty FIVE years
competition with private companies
the state insurance in force has
reached $50, 900, 900, or nearly one-hali
Of all the insurance in force in The
colony. The number Of government
policies outstanding is 1900.
This business is done at a cost L
the policy-holders which amounts Il
but 1s.s per cent Of the premium pay
ments, showing which is manifest.
favorable in contrast with american
expense charges.
An insurance commissioner has
charge OF the life business, with nj
interference from politics, and he !
supreme except in the matter OF in
vestments where be is one OF boart
OF six members, who must vote unan
imously on each investment made. Tn
assets OF about sl9, ,000, 900 are inyesteI
over half in mortgages on real estate
Is per cent In government security
about the same amount In loans I
policy holders, and for the rest largel
in municipal securities No loan e,
lceeds $4,000, and so careful is th
management tat at the last report bu
5000 was tied up In property take
under forcloseure.
| New Zealand also does an acciden
isurance business, and more recentl
it has established a fire insurance. d,

Icompetition and hostility OF the pri'
ate companies. A sharp decrease !

A FIRE DEPARTMENT. YES.

The report that the new fire de-
partment question, which is to be yot-
ed upon tonight by the City Council,
will not pass, we hope is erroneous.
Such an important matter after it has
received serious contemplation and
then IS thrown aside is most discourage
ing to the progressive element OF the
city. The spirit Of propagation
which has permeated every move
made by the present Mayor and Coun
Gil throughout their term of office can
scarcely desert them now. No more
fitting act than the building Of an up
to.date fire department could possibly
prove the cap sheaf Of their many sub
stantiaI improvements Even begun
upon small scale it will prove the
nucleus Of greater department In
few years, and the beginning OF an
era especially noticeable for marked
decrease In loss by fire
There is no citizen but realizes the
Importance OF a servlceable fire de-
partment at this time. Mexico Is
having many new aud handsome bust
ness houses, dwellings and public
buildings erected and we should pos
ses enough civic pride to see that such
structures are well protected, Th'
plans to be recommended by the
committee viii not prove financia

sources, and II they should, such
strain would not be too great consider
ing the results which would be attain

MAYOR ANn oITY COUNCIL.

The Mayor and City Council Mon
day evening, decided definitely 70
further the new Fire Department
plans and by spring, II possible, have
the new order OF things complete.
They have many improvements to
their credit and mark the beginning
OF more up-to-date and better era in
the history OF Mexico.
In regard to the unselfsh spirit
which dominated the present admins
tration we consider the following
quotation Of w. W. Willonghby, an
eminent sociologist, quite apropos:
"The important point to be recog-
nlzed in this connection duty to soci-
~ Is that the macy benefits which
civilized social life confers upon US can
be obtained onlyby the snbordinatiop,
To some extent, OF our individual de-
sIres to 70 the general good"

A COUNTY FAIR.

The stock Company to take charge
Of and conduct a County Fair has been
organized and awaits the result OF the
soliciting committee who are trying
to raise thirty five hundred dollars
At present only three thousand dol
lars has been subscribed The remain
ing five hundred should be forthcom-
ing soon as the fair circuit closes this
month and we must get place. Those
who have not given toward the Fair
should do SO Immediately and further
the movements speedy realization.
Mexico andAudrain county want fair
and IL the sum of five hundred dollars
stands between 1T and this beneficial
enterprise all public spirited citizens
who have not given are bound BY their
civic pride and local patriotism TO
come forward and see that this
amount is assured. There is no resi-
dent in thiscounty who cannot afford
70 give five dollars and hundred
such men ought easily to be found.
That Mexico Is the horse center OF the
west has always been conceded and
for that reason alone. though there
are many others. we should have one.

REFORMS IN ATHLETICS.

In order that all professionalism
may be eliminated from college foot
ball and the game become less danger

spective university faculties.

The lodge room and the dancing
