RICE=SCHEFTELS CONCERN Is
NABBED BY US. AUTHORITIES

Following most spectacular beaf
-,,d upon the stocks of the B. II. shet-
.als Company IN Thursday, the postal
,,,borities on thai afternoon raided
,ho several Offices of the concern am
.losed them, pending an investigation
of charges that the concern had beef
,sing the mails for the purpose of de-
fraudng investors.
The stocks of the Jumbo Extension
Mines Company, the Ely Central ana
Ravbide Coalition were hammerel
down SC per cent or more, and the ru-
mors that came from New York were
% the effect that it had been charged
that the Sheftcls company and the
Georpe Graham Rice publications had
been making false representations as
10 these properties through the mails.
In fact it was said that postal autnoIi-
lies had inspected the properties and
found that none of them were any
thing hut prospects and were NOT mines.
It is not given out just what the postal
Inspector knew about mines, but that
is where the matter stands.
Following the acquisition some time
AGO by the Sheftels company and Its
hackers of the Jumbo Extension prop
clty. there has been well-detned
movement on the part of New York
and Philadelphia interests, that move
ment supposedly started and backed By
Goldfeid Consolid atod interests, to re-
Gain the control. 1t is well known thai

Despite The effort to hammer the
stock down, Jumbo Extension held
steadily at between 40 and 80 cents,
being held there by the interests that
Lad acquired the control In the
meantime the RiceSheftels concern
was also holding Tire p,sce os Ely Cen
trail and Rawhlde Coalition firm AMI
steady. 1t appears that, seeing that
rothing could be done on Jumbo Ex-
tension alone, the bearing interests de-
cided to raid all the Rice-Sheftels
stocks at once, and in some manner 1t
seems it was managed to have the
postal authorities raid occur at the

Columbia is a college town that has
outgrown it. Likewise Boone county,
always the first in education among
Missourfs counties is now becoming
a leader in other lines.
All the colleges in Missouri with
one or two exceptions are located in
the Missouri River counties. A line
drawn twenty-five miles north of the
Missouri river and parallel to it across
the state will include every college
and educational institution of note in
Missouri established before 1850 This
is natural in that immigration always
follows the rivers, and education is a
close follower of the blazed trails. ST.

county is teaching the state-this time
by example. Time was when the pro-

1t has often been said, and it is be

is the working mans paradise. Plenty
of work for every member of the fam

Hundreds of families are moving to
Columbia every year because there is
plenty of work for father, mother,

the case that the father and husband

is true that the expense of living is
somewhat higher than it is in the

the family income may be greatly en-
HANGED and this additional expense is
not felt because you have the money
to pay it.
In small town wages are low and
jobs are few and if you lose out, there
