Railroads Defy Laws.

The Missouri laws regulating rail,
road rates are defed by Missouri
roads, following the recent decision OF
Judge Smith Mcpherson and contrary
to the custom of the past. The ma.
tional guardsmen on their way to the
state encampment at Nevada were
charged "a cents a mile instead of l
cent. The general assembly passed
at the recent session statute provi6-
ing that state troops shall be carried
at the rate of cent mile for each
passenger. It was supposed this law
would dispense with controversy and
the railroads promptly and agreeably
would fulfil the provision; but the
legal and traffic officers of the car
riers regard the act as unconstitu-
tional and they have notified the Off
GERS of the national guard that the
regular rate would be charged.

NEWS FROM MISSOURI
ma penrI autton Industry.

A unique industry of Northeast Mis-
souri, is the manufacturing Of peal
buttons and ornaments out of the
rough fresh-water mussel shells found
in the Mississippi river. Round, uni
form and regular as the buttons are,
ranging in size from those a quarter
of an inch in diameter TO those an
inch or over, no one who does not
know the full history would ever
dream that they were cut from the
rough, ugly, dirty shells affording a
cover for specie of fresh-water form
of life. And yet, such Is the case;
skilled male and female hands, with
the aid of modern, swift-running ma
chinery, monthly in the six button and
blank factories Of Lewis and Pike
counties transform hundreds OF tons
OF the unsightly raw material into
things OF value and OF beauty, And
last, but not least--a large item in
itself-is the occasional large, lus'
trous pearl found in the shell by the
fisherman, valuable enough sometimes
to fully recompense him for many
years OF hard toll.
