with his fellows, and if nothing
could be counted in his favor but
his pleasing personality, his success
as a representative would be as
sured. But this is by no means all.
Polk has genuine ability and force
of character, aud he is possessed of
no small amount of eloquence.
Early in the session Mr.. Polk in
troduced a bill intended to allow
all persons summoned as jurors in
felony cases a certain fee and mile.
age; and it was while this bill was
being debated that Mr.. Polk
showed what sort of stuff he is
made of Some of the old leaders
objected to the bill, and in reply
ing to them, and IN defense of his
measure, Mr.. Polk rose and in
most eloquent and imprisoned
speech he forced the attention of
the House, carried his point aud
received an ovation. Gentle as u
woman in his manners. easy as an
old shoe in his social intercourse,
but when rouse to action he is
fearless aud aggressive and true as
steel TO his convictions.

Senator Thomas K. X. Ely of
Duuklin County took his position
IN the Senate two years ago as an
able, honest and intelligent man Of
affairs, and he is now generally
conceded as one of the real leaders
OF the State Senate. His hobby is
the swamp lands of Southeast Mis-.
souri,, a subject in which his peo-
pie are profoundly interested. He
has introduced bill which pro-
vides for Typographical and ny
biographical survey of the St.
Francois river and basin, and a
sufficient appropriation to accom-
plish the work. He feels sanguine
now that it will become a law.
Senator Ely knows the wonderful
resources of the swamp lands of
his section of the State, and he is
bending every energy to have them
known and developed. The Seua-
tor is interested also in the saloon
question. He believes that the
saloon as an institution is and
ought to be doomed, and he is in
favor of the most restrictive laws
in relation to them. He feels,
with a largely increasing number
of our most thoughtful citizens,
that it is time for the people to
rise up and demand their final
abolition. and for the present to
make them absolutely obedient to
the most restrictive laws. L."

consulted on important

is particularly interested in road

adapted. both by temperament aud
training, to this sort OF legislative
work, being a successful business
man and possessing special abll'
lty for such matters. Though
the session is only half gone,
Senator Buford's success as a
Senator is already assured, and
he is even now a potent and in.
huential factor in the upper branch
Of the 44th General Assembly.
Peter II Huck, the member from
Ste. Genevieve County, is famll-
lar figure in the Missouri Leglsla-
ture. this being his third term in
the House. Soon after the cleo
ton Mr. Huck contemplated being
a candidate for the Speakership,
but seeing that Mr.. Atkisou had
such a decided lead he concluded
not to make the race. He is one
of the strongest men in the present
House, and an acknowledged leader
on the floor aud in committee de-
llberations. He Is popular with

Joseph +. Chiffon of Madison
County is one of the real bright
Young members of the House, and
he has already strongly estab

as clean, vigorous and intelligent
man. His chief efforts thus
far have been centered upon such
measures as good roads,

be is doing earnest and faithful
work to have Legislation enacted
upon these subjects. He is not
particularly radical upon these or
any other questions, but believing
that the State in general. and the
people of his county in particular,
are DESTROYS of such legislation. he
believes it to be his duty as a Rep.
to do what he can to

IN PIPES.

Terrific rains on the upper waters Of
Mill creek Saturday, temporarily put
the new gravity water system out Of
commission yesterday, a heavy land
slide occurring just above the intake,
resulting in big mass of debris
clogging the glates to the setting ba-

gate keepers could not keep the intake
clear, despite herculean efforts Oh the
part of the employees. Superintendent
knight was appraised of the plight OF
the new system and with crew OF
men. provided a temporary feed pipe
below the headwOrks and kept up the
supply of water in the city mains, al
though the supply was thickened with
a liberal supply OF mud, causing no end
of disgust among people depending on
city water for domestic purposes.
Restaurant keepers and the hOspi-
