Columbia, No., June 30.-The i'm
portance OF the honey crop Of Missouri
is much larger than many people know
OF. According to the last United
States census only three states, name
ly: Texas, California and New York
exceed Missouri In the total OF honey
products. Missouri has something
like three-fourths OF q million Of dol
lars invested in bees and apiary sup
plies and the total annual product Of
honey and wax amounts to from one
half million to thr~ee-fourths of a mill
lion OF dollars
Within the last few years q very
fatal contagious disease has appeared
In some places in the state, known as
foul brood. For the protection of the
bee owners, the last Legislature enact
ed a law for the appointment OF State
Bee Inspector, to be under the control
OF the State Board Of Agriculture.
Mr.. NJ. L. Darby, Of Springfield, Mo-,
has been appointed under that law
and his services may now be secured
by making application to him, giving
evidence that the bees are infected
with foul brood or any other conta-
gious disease. Mr.. Darby is a success
full apiarist and thoroughly familiar
with treating bees for foul brood and
will promptly answer all calls made on
him for that purpose. As he is in the
employ Of the state, the Board Of
Agriculture provides for his expenses
and the bee keepers will not be called

FIFTY per cent Of the population OF
the Hawaiin group are japanese, said
he "and We have, so far, never had the

treated by the residents the same as

all there is to it. Many OF japanese

TO VOTE ON LOCAL OPTION.
Question win be Submitted to Pso-
pie in Both Town and County
Early In Fall.

EaAoea aAfHN
Fulton and Galloway county will be
called upon 10 vote on local option in
the early lfali--prohably In October.
The .~anti-saloon agitation which has
been going on In town and county the
last year has progressed to the point
where the leaners think.it best to sub
NIT local option to q vote OF the peo-
pie. Within the next week or two
petitions asking the city council and
county court to call local option cleo
tons will be circulated, and 1t is an
ticipated that they will he ready for
presentation to those bodies either in
July or August.
The plans Of the temperance people
In Fulton are not vet fully matured,
but it is probable that a large execu-
tive committee will manage the cam
paign. Public meetings win be held
both in town and county, and prom
inent local and foreign temperance
workers will speak.
The question will have to be sub
mitted separately In town and coun-
ty, but it is probable that the election
will be held the same day in both jur-
isdictions. The result In to wn will
not effect the result In the county, and
one can go ''dry"while 1.-The other can
go "Ret".
Ten per cent OF the qualified votes
in Fulton will have to petition the
council to order an election, and the
same percentage Of the voters OF the
county will have to petition the coun-
ty court. If legal petitions are pre-
sented, the elections must be held
within forty days from the date Of
their presentation.
IL local option carries, ii will be ef-
fective for four years, and II 1t falls,
the temperance people will have TO
wait four years before they can have
1t submitted again.
The last local option election HELD
In Fulton was on September 0, 1887,
when the town went "wet" by a ma
jority OF less than a hundred. The
question has never been submitted in
the county.

ST. Loais Repnhlle.
During the time the 2-cent-a-mile
passenger rate has been In effect In
Missouri the trafic In and out OF st,
Louis has been remarkably heavy,
The record for twelve days, from June
~ 70 July , shows q greater move
ment than or the corresponding period
In any previous year, except while the
Worlds Fair vas In progress.
Special instructions have been issued
BY the railroads to all subordinate
officials and employees, advising them
not 10 give ont information to any
body, under any circumstances, tend
ing TO disclose whether the travel is
heavier or lighter under present con-
ditions. But Investigations conduct
ed by The Republic justify the asser-
tlon that the passenger trafic at st.
Louis has been practically as heavy
during the last twelve days as at this
time in 1905, the Exposition year.
Should the movement continue to
be as great during the next thirty or
sixty days as 1t has since June 10, there
ID every probability that Attorney
General Hadley will be able 70 demon
strate that the 2-cent-a-mile rate is
not c~oniscatory to the railroads. The
passenger business on the Fourth Of
July should increase the receipts con-
siderably, and this, with the antici-
pated heavier travel every day, should
constitute q record showing through
out Missouri.
PECULIAR SITUATION ARISES ON TRAF-
FIC.
An anomalous situation has arisen
as q result of the Missouri and Illinois
laws. The Illinois roads are granting
the 2-cent rate In Illinois, and the
Missouri lines the same rate in Mis-
souri,. But the rate from the eastern
boundary OF Illinois TO the western
boundary OF Missouri is not 2-sents per
mile, although the rate from st. Louis
to points in Illinois is at the low
figure.
For the present, the Missouri rate is
used for baslng purposes. II q person
travels from Danville, ILL.,, TO Kansas
City, from the Indiana TO the Kansas
State Line, his fare Is charged at the
rate OF 3 cents q mile through Illinois
and 2 cents 4 mile through Missouri.
Officials OF the railroads operating
in Missouri and surrounding States
will meet In Chicago this week to dis
cuss further the proposition to make
a 2-cent-a-mile rate on interstate traf-
fic In this part Of the country. 1t is
expected they will agree on a nat rate
Of 2 cents on interstate business.
st. Louis Is regarded as being on the
same status as Illinois cities, and the
rate now applies between St
Louis and all Illinois points. Although
the traffic between st. Louis and I'LL
nois points is interstate, the 2-cent
rate Is applied. Sc. Louis is, so far,
the only city which has the low rate
on interstate business.
