WABASH SEED AND
SOIL sPECIALs
Agricultural Train to Visit Points in
Audrain County - Martinsburg,
Benton City, Sturgeon, Cen
tralis and Thompson.

The Wabash Railroad "Seed and
Soil" special, which we referred to In
a recent issue, to be run with the Co
operation OF the State College Of Agri-
sulture and the State Board will be
run on March 18th, 14th and 18th,
visiting points in Audrain that the
other seed special did not touch.
Its promised that this special train
will be much more interesting than
any former "Seedand Soil' train. 1t
will not only be a lecture train, but
will contain exhibits of soils from the
different sections, showing just what
certain soils will produce.
The University Of Missouri has coli
lected samples Of soil from all parts Of
the State and has planted seeds Of
various grains in it, thus giving an
illustration Of what can be produced
under certain conditions.
This train is run by the Wabash
Railroad purely for the benefit and In
formation of farmers along It's lines,
and we strongly urge that all farmers
In this locality make 1t point to at
tend these lectures. There Is no
charge, and nothing to sell or adver-
tise. The lectures are given in the
cars, and the speakers are among the
best known agricultural experts In
Missouri.

THERE ARE BUT FIVE Ex-GOv.
ERH0Rs LIVING AND THE
OLDEST Is cRITEEDEN-
STATE HAS HAD THIR-
TY.oNE CHEF Ex-
ECUTIvEs "A
LITTLE MIs
SOURI, HIS
TORY.


Missouri has had thirty-one COVER
nors and Of this number only five are
living-T. T. Critenden, W. J. Stone.
d. r. Francis, A. M. Dockery and
Lon v. Stephens. The Oldest of the
surviving chief executives is Crltenden.
The following, from an article
which recently appeared In the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, will be OF In
terest to all Missourians:
Missouri has had thirty-one COVER
nors. Out Of this number three be-
came governor through the death or
removal OF the governors, A. P. More
house, M. M. Marmaduke and Willard
p. Hall, and one Hamilton R. Gamble
by the action Of the convention OF
1862, Two Missouri governors, Thos.
Reynolds and A. P. Morehouse, COM
mitted suicide, the former while in
office. Out of the thirty-one COVER
nors, three, a father, son and uncle,
came from the same family, M. NJ.
Marmaduke, John S. Marmaduke and
Claiborne S. Jackson. Only two gov
ernors have ever resigned their office
Daniel Dunklin and Trusten Polk,
though several have resigned other
offices to become governor. 1t may
be of interest to note, by the way,
that only two Missouri governors,
Trusten Polk and William J. Stone,
ever went from the executive mansion
to the United States senate.
Next to the governorship, the most
important Missouri office In many
ways is the speakership Of the house
of representatives, now filled by that
gracious gentleman, John NJ. Atkinson
Of Ripley County, popular with all
parties. The position is one Of dignity
and far-reaching influence. Henry s.
Geyer, who was the second speaker of
the Missouri house, a brilliant, re-
sourceful statesman, went to the
United States senate, but not until
quarter of a century after he left the
speakers chair and then only for o
single term. Thomas Reynolds was
speaker in 1882. He had been supreme
Judge Of Illinois and member Of the
Missouri house. After his term AZ
speaker he became circuit Judge and
then governor, and on the 9th Of Feb
ruary, 1874, committed suicide because
Of the abuse and slander Of his enem'
les. No politician now who had held
office as had Reynolds for twenty-foul
years would be so thin.skinned. Two
other speakers afterward became
governor, Sterling Price and Claiborne
Z. jackson.
There have been forty speakers. Al
least thirty have been lawyers. Henry
s. Geyer held the office the longest,
while the honor of the shortest term
rests between Christian Kribben and
John McAfee, who were speakers In
the early COS when Missouri changed
all her officers with kaleidoscope
rapidity. 1t would be invidious tt
make comparison, but 1t may be said
that the last quarter Of century
have been unexcelled by any in tht
long list"

THE officials of both railroad stations
are emphatic in their remarks con-
cerning the harmless fun the NJ. s. U.
Glee club was having Monday night
and the management Of the Hotel
Hoxsey, in front Of which the clash
with the police took place, say that
the young men were only doing as
many Of college men have done and in
no way were Objectionable. OF course
there is a law against peace distur-
bance and the officers were doing their
duty but the Glee club in no way de-
served the opprobrium that is being
placed on them for few songs sung
