The Extra SeSSiOn--BilIS
PaSSed--A "SCrap" or
Two.
Aggie M yer r S Case
More Sma1lpox-Cut
Off His Fingers.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 26.-
The FIRST bill passed by the uou 80
in this extra session was one max
ing it misdemeanor, punishable
by fine of $25, to forge name to
a saloon petition. 1t would have
been better law yet to have re-
quired also that the petitioner
shall be a real estate holder, m-
stead of being II mere taxpayer"
The next bill passed was one
providing for special prosecutor
to enforce the dramshop laws when
the local officers refuse or neglect
to do so.
The first bill killed was one to
abolish q provision in the present
law which provides that when a
saloon license is revoked, for vio.
lation of the Sunday law or selling
to minors, the dramshop keeper
shall never again be able to obtain
renewal Of license. Whitecotton
led the opposition to this bill. He
declared that of the seven dr0ms-
shops in Monroe county six obey
oil the laws, but the proprietor of
the seventh one has no respect for
the laws of God or man.
The first bill passed in the SEN
ate was one providing for tha re-
moval of derelict officials, aud an
other against race.track gambling.
Shortly after the opening of the
first discussion on the excise bill
in the Ii ouse two members got in
to trouble-One called the other
liar. Tilt was between a Democrat
and a Republican. The Democrat
charged that the Republicans had
caucussed against the bill, and
that brought the denial and hot
word referred to. The Republi-
cans, nearly to a man, voted
against the excise bill, and it later
developed that, in q caucus, in the
regular session, they had agreed
on this, as above Democrat had
char ged.
Still have a case or two of small
pox in the city. Heard Of a new
case here the other day. Also, a
man formerly of this place died
with the disease in Kansas City a
few days ago. But there is no ex-
citemenS here now over the disease.
The lobby aud the metropolitan
press worked the full game at the
regular session.
A fellow in the State Prison here
the other day got tired of work, he
said, and thrust his left hand un.
der a cross.cut saw and sawed of
three fingers. I'd put him to

cise--he has his right hand yet.

Panama canal should take warning
from Germany's experience in con-
struction of the KieI canal. She built
that canal a few years ago at an inn
mense cost. 1t was for the purpose of
giving German warships and mer-
chantmen a shorter way to the Ger
man ocean than the former route
through the Baltic. 1t was a very
important national work in that it
shortened the route 10 the cea and
made Germany independent Of other
nations in reaching the high seas. The
government, however, in constructing
the canal overlooked the fact that the
size of vessels might be greatly in
creased in the near future from the
time of opening the canal, and in de-
Gliding on it's diminslcns this point
was not considered. At this early

BIG DEMAND FOR COTTON.

While there is SO much being said
and writtenl in this country about
cutting down the supply Of cotton by
the southern farmer, the following
from a report Of American Consul
Bradley at Manchester, on the increas-
ed demand, will be of interest to the
| people Of our section of the
try:
The latest figures as to the number
Of new mills built since 1906, and their
capacity, have just come TO hand.
They give SO new mills, having a ca
pacity OF 8,865,96S spindles. These
mills are nearly all working, or will
be working this year, and add an item
toward the question of the cotton mar
ket for the coming season.
Twelve SpindleS consume a bale Of cot
ton a year., on the average, in the Uni
ted Kingdom. The new mills would, at
this rate. add a consumption of, say
10000. bales, or an addition to the
consumption of 1905 of 20 per cent.
All countries producing cotton fabrics
seem to nave been prosperous, n for
the past eighteen months British ship
ments of textile machinery to such
countries have been increasing besides
what they may have built themselves.
Under these circumstances, it would
not seem excessive to add 20 per cent.
to- the general consumption of raw
cotton, or. say, 3~,1o1,23O bales, which
added to the great total of 1905 of IS
5O6,255 bales. would give 18,6O7,4S5
bales as the possible consumption for
the year 1907. The large crop of
19O4-O5 was 17,782,44O bales; suppos-
inc fhn poroCQnf - 11nN1ry tn hn tho
same, we should have a deficit Of S25-
04S bales. AS vet no great amount of
cotton is produced in any new centers.
Egypt may give a slightly increased
yield, but India, 1 believe, will show a
diminished product. 1t looks, then, as
if-should the present market for cot
yarn and piece goods hold, which
seems probable-that American cot
ton planters need not fear a much re-
duced price for their staple.
If those new mills are to pay any
profits to the stockholders they have
got to be kept busy, ard have got to
have the raw cotton, and there is no
where for that raw cotton to come
from but the fields of the southern
planters, with the exception of a ON
paratively small amount from the
east. 1t is to the south that these
new mills will necessarily look for
their supply of cotton. If their pro-
moters had thought that they could
not get American cotton they would
never have invested their money in
these mills. 1t is to America and not
to Asia and Africa they look for the
raw material to keep their machinery
in operation. 1t is the American pro-
duet out of which they expect t make
their profits, and to get the raw cot /;
ton they have got to pay the price
set by increased demand and greater
competition. We do not think the
southern farmer need lie uneasy as to
the price of the next crop if he will /,
judicious in marketing his cotton. |
Of course the price will be low if
the whole crop is rushed on the mark |
ct as soon as gathered and the specu- !
lators allowed to gobble it up on Il
market. This is what the
farmers should guard against. If they |
so they have the situation in their
own hands.

New issue OF POSTAGE STAMPS.

The 1907 issue of postage
stamps, to be on sale at the pres
idential offices will bear on their
face the name of the State and the
city in which the postoffice is stu
ated. The chief reason for this
innovation is said to be the belief
that it will help to do away with
the big postoffice robberies and
make it much easier to trace Grim
nails. Another reason is to enable
the postofice department to deter
mine the amount of business done
by the different offices.
