Put 'em on the Cow Catcher

Hon. E. P. Rosenberger intro

bill, the st. Louis Stars Jefferson

lowing to say:
"Mr. Rosenberger wants the
Railroads to provide look-outs on
engines for the prevention OF
wrecks. Where the lookout will
sit is not clearly explained He
might prefer the COW catcher, as
his post, 80 he could be the first
to jump as he would probably be
the first to see the wreck coming
It's too hard to jump out of the
cab now for only the fireman and
the engineer to maneuver, withou,
providing another man into the
small space. And how the look
outs would prevent wrecks is also
not clearly demonstrated. TIL,
look -out might jump of the pilot

to ditch his own train, thus pre-
venting the head-on coming smasl
but could he prevent two trail

They have had and may yet have
troubles of their own. The week
has passed without any partizan
trouble and there seems to be a
very good spirit in both the House
and the Senate. In the Senate
the new Republican Lieutenant
Governor is presiding success
fully, and is being treated with
the utmost consideration by the
majority Senators. Governor
Hadley seems to be on fine terms
with the Democratic leaders, who
recognize in him an astute, care
full, conservative executive as
well as a first-class politician
using that term in its more refined
sense. He is greatly respected by
the opposition and fondly loved
by the Republicans.
The Governor was besieged
Thursday by about one hundred
ladies of the w, G. T. u, who
called upon him by appointment
at the executive office. Their
leaders addressed him in modest
eloquence in reference to prohi-
bition. They were received and
honored by the House and Senate
where they appeared in a body.
At noon the ladies marched to the
Capital, two and two, each wear
ing the emblem of their order, a
white ribbon. They assembled the
steep steps at the southern en-
trance to the building, passed
through the long hallway and up
the narrow iron stairs to the
House chamber. AS they march
ed into the hall, they were cheer
ed by members and spectators.
The Speaker invited the leaders to
the platform, where Mrs. Carrie
Lee Carter Stokes, of Kansas City
VINO is one of the most talented
one of the best woman of Missouri
and Mrs. Ingalls, of ST. Louis ad
, dressed the members, urging that
, they vote for submission of pro.
. hibiticn amendment to the consti
, sation.- After the noon recess they
: marched into the Senate chamber
where they were welcomed b.
: l. lieutenant Governor Gmelich ant
the Senate, which was in session
especially to greet them. Th'
; same ladies spoke in behalf of ;
: prohibition amendment, urgins
: the senators to vote for a resolu
= ton to submit it. They made
3 good impression on the Senators

ANOTHER CLAIMANT.

There is q claim before our govern mentor against it-sthat causes Con gressmen no little worry, we appre- hend. and it may get into, the famous Jarndyee case class, portrayed by Dickens As a matter of fact there are already demands for damages be- fore Congress that fairly belong to that class. The war between the States ended nearly forty-four years ago, but there are many claims for losses sustained in that war which have been handed down, from father to Son and which bid fair to become the heritage of generations yet to come. .,'st5
 But this new claim Is of quite diff ferent character. and stands on diff ferent footing. Some eight years ago Miss Ellen M. stone. a missionary to Turkey, was captured by the Mace- donian brisands and held for ransom, the amount being fixed at s66.NOO in our money. The friends of Miss Stone made up the amount. and sent 1t to her captors and brought her home. Now they propose to make 1t a claim against our government and will in- sist on being reimbursed for the amount paid out, probably with inter est up to date.
 This claim will bring up questions of national ethics and various other things. If Miss Stone had been an agent of our government, or it she had been sent by the government on a mission of any sort to Turkey, it could easily be claimed that the gov ernment was responsible for her safe lty. and that 1t should pay back the ransom money. That, however, is not the case. and 1t will be maintained that inasmuch as our government had nothing to do with her going to Fur key 1t cannot be held responsible for anything that happened to her.
 r Btu here comes In another point to be considered. The claimants will in- sist that our government should be responsible for the safety of it's citI- zens while in foreign countries, and inasmuch as Miss Stones life was threatened if the ransom was not pa d Uncle Sam should pay the damages The claimants may be told to make their demand. on Turkey, but that country has troubies.of its own. and is not much in the habit of paying its debts when it eau avoid doing so
