THAT $4,000 BUILDING.
Preliminaries for a Site for the
Structure In Mexico.

Postmaster Kunkle of the Mex
leo postofiice furnishes us the fol-
lowing paper which he has receiv-
ed from Washington relative TO the
new $4,000 postofIice building
this city is to have:
Upon the enactment of n law
authorizing the acquisition of a
site for federal building the
Treasury Department invites thru
a local newspaper, proposals for
the sale or donation of suitable
corner. The advertisement gives
such information as to the dimen-
sions of the site and the general
requirements as will enable intelli-
gent preparation of proposals.
The offers are opened in Wash.
ington at the time stated in the
advertisement, and as soon there
after as practicable an agent of the
department is sent TO make n per.
sonal examination OF the proposed
locations and such others as he
deems desirable. Upon this re-
port, together with representations
in writing from other sources, the
department selects the site, and if
the property is to be acquired by
purchase, accepts the offer of the
successful bidder, subject to the
conditions stated in the advertise
ment and the Attorneys Generals s
approval of the title.
Whenever the Department is un-
able to purchase an acceptable site
at a reasonable price, or where ac-
ceptable title can not be secured
by voluntary conveyance, a sClec.
ton is made and the title acquired
by condemnation proceedings, in
which the price to be paid is judi
cially determined.
The buildings (if and) on the
site should be reserved by the ven,
dor, to be removed upon notice
after payment for the land hai
been made. Generally, notice Il
move is not given until the con
struction of the Federal building
is about to begin, if the vendor is
willing, pending such removal,
to pay "a reasonable ground rent
Plans for public buildings ar,
taken up in the order in which tn,
titles to the site therefor are vested
in the United States and the con
tracts for their construction are lie
at as early a date as practicable.

in favor of the State University
as against the public schools,
David y Ball, Democratic guber-
Material candidate, replied in his
speech here this afternoon to a
resolution adopted 10y the Univer-
sity alumni members of Jasper
county. The resolution reads:
Whereas, David \. Ball, of
Pike county, in his campaign for
Governor in Jasper county, has by
unfair, improper aud misleading
statements concerning the Uuiver-
sity of Missouri, sought to advance
his own political interests: now,
therefore. be it resolved that we
condemn this method of campaign
ing and urge upon the alumni of
the state to correct these errone.
Gus and misleading statements
wherever made" "
Mr.. Ball read the resolution,
which was sent to him to-day, to
the large crowd of Fayette and
Howard County residents gathered
to hear him in the Circuit Court
room. His reply was applauded.
He denied that he had made any
statement rejecting upon the Uni
versity as an institution. maintain
ing that his criticism was directed
against the appropriating of 81
! 800, 900 for the support of the uni
versity aud State normal schools, a
sum exceeding by a half million
dollars, he said, the appropriation
for the district schools, attended by
5000 children.
Il want no backward step along
thess lines; want a forward move
ment at all times" said MIR. Ball,
but | do maintain that the State
should first look after the publ,
schools in the districts, and if any
thing is left, appropriate it for the
university and nOrmals." "
Mr.. Ball declared that he was
