monotonous to the general publicf
They might stand it for a while,

No; the true editors business is
to make everybody's business his
business. That's business. So
there's NO use in making the kick
alluded to.-Reading (Pd.) Times.
1t seems now that the threatened
strike never was thought of by the
men, and that the scare was the
result of too much attention being
paid to the ''brain storms" of agi-
tators who are bleeding somebody
to the tune of several dollars per
"brain storm" The Company
have come and gone, and we be-
lieve the men would have had a
much needed raise had it not been
for so many covert threats of
strikes and violence by the agita-
tors who, so far as we car observe,
are absolutely ignorant of what
they are talking about. Business
people and those not actually in
the union must depend on what
they hear about these matters, and
when talk of radical action is 60
ing on extensively, men who are
in business are bound to get un-
easy unless they know just what
is in the air.-Bonne Terre Star.

"John R. Walsh of Chicago, whose
railroads in Indiana and Illinois
are to be floated from debt and the
general plan of completion prose-
cuted through a syndicate of New
York, Chicago and st. Louis
capitalists, said to a reporter for
the Post Dispatch: THE important
information to Missouri, as we'll as
to my own interests on this trip, is
the surety that the Missouri pro-
jects in which l am interested will
be completed at an early date. |

operation between Ste. Genevieve,
on the river below Crystal City,
and Bismarck, Mo-, on the line of
the Iron Mountoin road, about 65

say that the plans for it's extension
and connection will be carried
through The Missouri Southern

The county court has decided to
make no expenditures for rock
roads this year, but to hold back
all the money it may have for this
purpose until next year, and use
it in securing as large an appro-
priation as possible from the State.
The State Legislature at the regu-
lar session passed a law setting
aside $780, 900 each year for a gem
eral road fund, to be distributed
among the various counties of the
State and the city of st. Louis in
proportion to the amount of their
assessed valuations. To particle
pate in this fund, however, the
county making application must
have on hand an amount equal to
that asked of the State. Not more
than 5 per cent, or $25, 900, will be
allotted to any one county. The
money must be used for perma-
nent Improvement and the nature
and location of the Improvement
