Senator Wilson's Pistol Bills.

The pass age by the senate of
Senator Francis NJ. Wilson's
gun toting bills by an almost u
unanimous vote is an indication Of
of how the people view the per-
nicious and Unnecessary habit of
carrying concealed weapons, and
the further fact that when a
killing does occur various cir
cumstances always mitigating
are put forward with each new
homicide. The community has
become almost accustomed to ex-
pecting a new killing every
twenty four hours. But there is
even an excuse. Since the day
when Cain slew his brother Abel
and until time is no more, the
world has and will run with the
blood of murdered man; but there
is a possibility, even a strong one,
that the evil may be reduced.
The surest way to lessen the
killings is to stop the gun tot

been too much of it in this

Lafayette county is one of the
most fertile and productive
counties in the rich and power
full State of Missouri. 1t con
tains 622 square miles and is
mostly rolling prairie lands with
timber along the water courses.
The county is drained by the
Missouri river and its tributar-
les. About so per cent of the
land is under a high state of cul-
tiyation. Timber, consisting
principally of walnut and oak is
found along the streams. Coal
underlies most of the country
and is extensively mined. In
fact, this is the second coal pro
ducing county in the state. The
assessed valuation of real estate
in Lafayette county is about ten
million dollars, and the esti.

field, members shook their heads
and even the most enthusiastic
declared it impossible. The
young minister persisted with
his dream" however, putting in
some hard ticks to boot, and to
show how much some times a
dreamer knows than more prac-
tical persons, within ten minutes
Sunday morning S521 was raised,
the rest having easily been as
aured during the week. Over
200 members contributed, the
amounts ranging from 81 to $50,
and as a result the Paris church
will have a missionary of its own
in the foreign field this year.
There are only about a dozen liy-
ing links in the state and none
of them in towns the size OF
Paris, many churches with treb.
