have been induced to let the collec-
lions be placed on exhibition.
Both these men, as well as their
fathers before them, have been great
hunters, and when large game was
plentiful in the state they killed num-
bers of very fine specimens of lions,
panthers, bears, deer, etc., and the
best of taxidermic art was employed in
preparing the skins for preservation.
Most of the animals-practically all
of them in fact-were killed in Mis-.
sissippi, and the collections of skins
are the pride of their owners. The
fair management is to be congratulate
ed on being able to secure such col
lections, which will be the center of
interest and admiration for many hun
dreds of visitors.

From the Railsoay World, January 3, 1908.

Mr., Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal In the
cause Of economic reform has been in no wise
abated by the panice which he and his kind did so

storm clouds have rolled by however, the commits
sioner rushos again into the fray.
our readers remember that the chief points in
the defense of the Standard oil company, pre-
scented by President Moffett were, % that the

had been issued TO the Standard oil company az
the lawful rate by employees OF the Alton co

This defense Of the Standard Oil company was

He answers the points made by President Moffett
substantially follows: ~ The Standard Oil

Whiting but from Dolton, which is described as "a

similar secret rates" The commissioner admits in
describing this rate that there was note attached
stating that the rate could also be used from Whit

The press has quite generally hailed this state

EUREKA.
DEADLOCK IN COUNCIL.
Socialists and Republicans Disagree on
Administration Policy.
sneciaI CORRESPONDENCE.

Special Correspondence
Eureka, jan. 1s.-The city council OF
Eureka met last evening for the second
time since the new Socialist administra-
ton qualified. The deadlock of the
previous meeting was continued and
again the council adjourned without
transacting any business, finding all
efforts towards u common ground flu
tile. The mayor, Andrew Mitchell, APP
pointed night policeman, auperin-
tendent of waterworks, sexton, u
physician and u city attorney. all OF
whom failed OF confirmation by the
council the opposition coming from the
Republican side of the council.
The Socialists offered to compromises
the matter and take alternately
through the list. giving the Republi-
cans the naming of their candidates In
that order with their first choice, but
the Republicans stoically negatived all
overtures excepting the motion to ad-
jouril rs was the case at their nrst
meeting.
Some citizens urged the reading of
communications received by the mayor
from the Transmissouri Dry Farming
congress, but 1t met the same fate as
the appointments except that II was
tabled without being read.
1t viii be remembered that the recent
election was between the Socialists and
Republicans, the Democrats putting no
ticket In the field, and the Issues were
anti gambling as set out in the Social
list platform as against the usual Re-
publican platform. The Socialists elect
ed mayor, justice If peace, marshal, re-
corder and two councilmen. while the
Republicans elected the treasurer and
two councilmen. and the nth council
man remained in as a hold over Re-
publican on the four-year term, giving
the pro gambling party the majority in
the council of FIVE, the mayor having
no vote except in case of tie, when
one member should be absent.
The deadlock is the result of dis
agreement on the matter of the city at
torney, the mayor insisting upon the
appointment OF a Socialist to enforce
the ordinance against gambling and
saloons open on Sunday, according 10
the Socialist platform upon which the
will of the people was expressed by
their election of the majority OF the
ticket, and the Republicans, having
had no attorney for some time past in
the city, are insisting on the appoint
ment of saloon Democrat to which
the Socialists decline assent II is at
present impossible to forecast the re-
suit, there being no signs of weaken
ing on either side.

that any shipper of oil from Chicago territory had
