Sappington burying ground, where
two Missouri Governors are buried.
In Boone County, in the William
Jewell Cemetery, walled and exclu-
sive, another Missouri Governor is
inferred. Here and there through
out the State in the regions more
remote from the newer cemeteries
of the towns are family graveyards,
usually pathetic in their unkempt-
ness, gravestone broken and tumb-
ling down and weeds growing where
flowers once were. The family
burying ground scarcely ever en-
dures to the third generation

torney General Elliott w. Major,
State Auditor John P. Gordon and
State Treasurer James Cowgirl. The
latter is the board that made the
order for better clothing and shoes,
better food, for abolishing stripes
and that ordered the buildings re-
modelled so that the convicts could
have fresh air, light and ventila-
ton.
Governor Hadley has nothing to
do with the actual management of
the prison. Whatever changes are
made, for better or worse, are made
by the board of control. This board
was solidly Republican when Had
ley's abuses" imaginative and 9TH
erwise, existed, and solidly Demo-
cratic when the recent reforms were
instituted and carried out. The
governor is welcome to whatever
Republican advertising he can draw
from the situation.

Claiming Democratic Reforms.

In a recent undertaking article in
a monthly magazine. the Missouri
penitentiary, with many others,
was severely criticised for bad man.
agement and unfortunate conditions
that were said to exist there. The
statements were very much exag-
gerated and the conditions spoken
of do not now and probably never
will exist.
Governor Hadley, ever ready to
play politics, says the Kansas City
Post thought he saw an opportunity
to boost aahis own administration
and Thereby manufacture some Re-
publican thunder for use in the
next campaign. He gave out an
interview in (which he admitted"
that a very bad state of affairs ex-
isted.at the penitentiary two years
ago, under the administration of
Governor Folk, but declared that
since he came into the governors
Office many changes had taken
place and the institution put on a
high class basis. All these reforms
he claimed for himself and Warden
Andrae, his appointee-
The governors statement was
made in the hurry and excitement
of the moment, and in his eager
ness for applause he forgot a few
things. He forgot for the moment
that the penitentiary is governed
and managed by a board of three
consisting of the attorney genera
the state auditor and state treasur
er. He forgot that under the Foil
administration, when he says 81
the ABUSES" existed, this board wal
composed of three Republicans

The Lady of Dreams.

She leads me away, away, away
this wonderful Lady of Dreams
And l follow content wherever
she goes.
While odor of lily and breath of
the rose
And beam of the FREELY around us
streams.
A star is bound on her high, white
brow,
And it CLEANS thro the smoke of
her dusky hair,
The scarlet peoples around her bow
And bend and blush
In the still night hush,
And nod and dream in the sleepy
air.
She leads me away, away, away and
follow the CLEAN of her gown
Over the meadows wet with dew,
By dusky streamlets gliding thro'
Gray bridges of a shadow town.
Black dream hills rise and path
ways steep,
And the rain drops down on the
weighted grass,
The curling dream miSts round us
creep,
And twist and rise
To the gray bent skies,
And elf lights glimmer as we pass.
And the days that are gone away,
away, and the faces of long ago
Come back through the mists
and shadows gray,
Blessing and curse of the bygone
day,
Glow.or chill as the dream winds
blow,
And the things that were are the
things that are,
Shadow is life where the peoples
glow.
The white beams of my Lady's
star
Clean soft on a world
In dew mists pealed,
Where my soul glides free to my
loved Lenore.

withdrawing Coal.

AS our readers are likely to be
served with coal which has been
whitewashed, an explanation of
this novel and unusual condition is
in order. Whitewashing coal is not
done to improve its appearance or
increase its burning qualities; the
treatment neither improves nor
harms the fuel. 1t is a detective
scheme on the part of the railroads
to locate and prevent theft of coal
as it is hauled from the mines to
the consumer. These depredations
amount to thousands of tons annu-
ally, and the railroads are the SUI
ferers, as it is up to them to deliver
as many tons at destination, often
a thousand miles away, as was
weighed in when the car was turn
ed over for transportation.
Two or three tons may be remov-
ed from a carload containing forty
tons without attracting attention to
its decreased quantity until the car
is again placed on the scales. To
locate the loss, limewater is spray
ed over a trainload of coal. In g
short time the water has evaporat'
ed, leaving q lead of white coal
Then removal of any coal leaves q
big black spot which is quickly no.
ticed by inspectors and station
agents, and the leak is found and
stopped Popular Mechanics.

Where Tariff Protection Goes.

A joke on the lemon raisers of
California was reported by the Los
Angeles Express of the 18th. The
lemon raisers had come mas they
supposed for some of the tariff
swag Up. 557). the protective tariff
on imported lemons having been
raised by the Aldrich bill so as to
give the California producers a
monopoly of the American market.
1t was a slick way of picking the
pockets of American lemon con-
sumers. But the swag is not to 90
to the lemon producers. 1t is to 90
to the railroads. for they have
agreed to raise freight rates just
about enough to skim the cream of
the American lemon market-if
lemon markets may be said to have
cream. AT any rate lemon con-
sumers will have to pay more for
lemons just the same. but the rail-
roads and not the lemon raisers
viii get the difference. So is it al
ways with prOtection.-The Public.

A New Departure

The Pearson Nurseries is new name
for an institution which was establish
ed at Baraboo sixteen years ago by
Senator G. l.. Pearson when he began
the sale of berry plants. His sales
have steadily increased until thousands
of families in this and other states en-
joy lucious fruit from Pearson's vines.
With the plant orders also came many
calls for fruit trees and ornamentals
This fact has induced Mr.. Pearson to
take. up a general nursery business
and he will buy CT expert specialists
the kinds which he does not grow.
There are grape specialists, ever
green specialists, apple tree specialists
etc. and nurserymen serve the public
we'll who assemble the best stock OBJ
tainable and distribute it to their GUS
toners in quantity and variety desired.
Senator Pearson will do an agency
as we'll as mail order business and
will give the new departure the same
careful attention that has characteriz-
ed his dealings in the past. We be-
speak successful future for the Pear
son Nurseries.

BIGGEST THAT EVER WAS
Freight, Passenger. and Switch
Engines of Mammoth Type
Coming.

The new engines will soon arrive for
use on the Northwestern system are
the biggest that have ever been used
on that road. The new freight en-
gines will haul about 25 per cent more
than the biggest engine now on the
road. There will be 40 of these on the
system. They are called the consoI-
dated Pacific type engine.
There will also be % new large pas
senger engines, 10 wheel, and 40 new
monster switch engines.
1t is for these that the cinder pit
has been enlarged and the 7O-foot turn
table built. Work has been begun on
roundhouse to accommodate the new
engines, a few of which will be in Bar
aboo.
The company is seriously concerned
with handling the biggest run of husi-
ness it has had in years.
