ernor, four for the two places on the
supreme court bench, one for secre-
tary of state, two for auditor, three for
superintendent of schools, four for
state treasurer, one for attorney gen
eral three for insurance superintend-
ent, six for railroad commissioner and
three for state printer.
Only Charles Sessions for secretary
of state and John Dawson for attorney
general have no opposition SO far.
The Third district leads with eight
candidates. The Seventh is second with
seven, the First has four, the Second
has four the Sixth has two and the
Eighth has only one active and one re-
ceptive candidate. There are fourteen
places on the state ticket to fill.

To Ground Buildings.
Instructions were given the engineer
to see that the school buildings are
properly grounded as a safeguard
against damage from electricity.
Bills for the month were allowed,
but after the meeting one of the board
members objected to an item of
$1O5.14 for supplies purchased from
Gillette & Nicholson on account of
the fact that Mr.. Nicholson is a board
member.
1t was stated that within a week

There was tranquility at the meeting

the stiffness was so marked that it took
the men who pass on matters educa-

meeting had been called to order. DR.
Eva Harding failed to appear before
the board to hand in the written
charges made against Superintendent

present to present petitions or to file
complaints. Business transacted was for

The independence Missouri Fair.
Is more work to do.

No fair in the state is attract
ing more attention this year than
the fair at independence Mis-
souri,. It has enjoyed a gro
ing success during the past
years of its existence that IS,
indeed enviable and gives tRis
year an impetus that bids faiIr
to result in an over whelmingA,
success. The policy of the man
agement has been to spare no ex-
pense in giving to the people a
splendid entertainment. This
policy has resulted in bringing to
the fair a great many visitors
from distant points. There yet
remains in Missouri a large num-
Der of folks who like to see a
real first-class horse race. The
directors have planted and are
maintaining a model farm on the
grounds. This attraction alone is
going to bring to the fair a
large number of people. This
farm is under the supervision of
B. Saymoniak, a graduate Of the
University of Missouri.
The ladies department of the
independence Fair is certainly
not languishing. The entries in
the textile and art departments
bid fair to be larger this year
than ever before, and the $500
for the best loaf of bread, from
Big S. flour is attracting atten-
ton beyond the bounds Of the
state.

Louis does pay one-thiId of all
the taxes in the State.
Let me turn the searchlight of
my intelligence on the achieve
ments of this boy
He was raised in Richmond,
Ky. With three other boys he
attended a girls seminary. All
great men admit their debt to the
feminine.
Having an uncle in st. Louis
he was sent here at an early age.
Strange, isn't it, so many boys
who accomplish great results are
transplanted in early youth ?
Transplanting must strengthen
the fibre.
He sent himself to Washington
University, and he was made OF
such good stuff that even a col
lege education didn't take all the
initiative out of him. When he
appeared at Washington Univer-
sity he was so green and so
deficient in his learning that they
wanted to turn him down; but
he talked so hard they accepted
him, and by studying at night
he filled in the gaps. In 1870
he received the degree of B. A
which, dearest, does not mean
Bad Actor but Bachelor of Arts.
I find in the archives that al
the close of his college course ht
was $4,000 in debt.
We find next this college boy
working as a shipping clerk a
1880 per. He lived on half hi
salary and paid back the $4,000
: by the end of the year. Paying
your debts is the best training Il
the world-it beats punching tn.
bag.
After hustling for someone els
seven years, just like the JacoI
in the Bible, we find the subjec
of these Investigations in tn
grain business for himself.
At thirty-four years of age h
i, is president of the Merchants
Exchange of st. Louis. Som
men would have quit right there
They would have arrived.
Their ambitions would have bee

. grandchildren would have poini

Then there happened to be

Along in 1896 this Missourian
packed his carpet sack and liked
out for Washington to take the
portfolio of Secretary of the
Interior. SO you see, Gertrude,
his descendants refer to him
not only as president of the
Merchants Exchange, Mayor of
the town, Governor Of the State,
but also as Secretary of the In
