A society reporter who interview

his papers, reported that all Of them
had beautiful hair, and that each
of the five enthusiastically attribut-

Be a Booster.

The Hannibal Commercial Club
is always working for the advance
ment of Hannibal and with it all
Northeast, Mo. A few days ago the
Club passed resolutions calling al
convention of delegates from Com
mercial organizations. cities and
counties in Northeast Missouri. to
meet in Hannibal February 3. The
object of this meeting is to call
special attention to the advantages
of this section of our great country
from an industrial and agricultural
standpoint. Every city, county and
commercial organization should
have its delegates present. Much
eood,can and will be accomplish
ed. We owe it to ourselves, to our
neighbors. to our city, to our coun-
ty, to Missouri TO do all we can to
advance missouri.
No section has better facilities
than we have here, We know but
the other part of the world does
not. Let us not place our light I'M
der a bushel.
This is only another occasion
when Monroe City should have a
Commercial Club to help make
Monroe City a better town. Now
is the time for us to get busy.
Do you want to see Monroe City
a better town? If so become a
booster.
We Like a Mule Because
He is the most tireless worker on
the farm.
He eats less than a horse but
does more work.
He is always as good as cash in
the bank.
He never falls through hole in
a bridge and generally keeps out of
danger.
He is an excellent saddle animal
if you know how to saddle him.
His feet stand hard roads better
than those of a horse.
He is more intelligent than a
horse.
He is never in love, but attends
strictly to business all the time.
He is never sick but once and
then he dies. But whoever saw a
dead mule since the war?
He never stops to fight flies as q
horse does because his hide is
much tougher.
He is just as gentle as horse il
he has not been spoiled in the
breaking.
His age cuts little figure in {
sale. Nobody cares very much how
old mule is.
He will bring from $3.50 to $25(
when he is full grown if he is BIZ
and smooth and strong. Colman'

Wall Street Railrods.

An attempt is being made in the
West to take the control of the rail-
roads in that section away from
Wall Street. The news comes from
Chicago, and although the move
mcnt is being carried on with some
attempt at secrecy. it is said that
the entry of John A. Spoor, presi-
dent of the Chicago Junction Rail-
way, into the directory of the Chi
caeo Great Western, is in further
ance of the plan. The object, as set
forth in the dispatch, is defensive.
The information at hand is silent
as to the methods by which the
change is to be brought about. We
rather incline to the opinion that it
is an undertaking which will meet
with formidable obstacles. Too
many of the great Western systems
are now completely nnder the con-
troll of Wall Street "a control
which is hardly likely to change,
We doubt even that the individual
stockholders, who must suffer in
pocket by the manipulation of the
gamblers are competent to sense
the importance of the movement
which has been begun in their in.

We notice that the powers of
Wall street have notified a Texas
county that had an issue of bonds
to place. that the bonds were reeu-
lar, and that the security was ample
but that they could not take them
because they were not pleased with
some of the late legislation in
Texas. Again we notice that j. P.
Morgan as the head has absolute
control of all monetary affairs in
Wall street and is able to say when
money shall be loaned and when it
shall not. The Texas mandate is
but a minor illustration of the Pow
er of this Wall street aggregation
and what may be expected of it.
Is is strange that one feels like turn
ing anarchist under such state of
affairs as this? If this control of
money is allowed to continue in a
few hands then our claims to being
a free people is a farce. There
seems to be but one way to deal
with the proposition without the
employment of Russian methods
and that is to limit the amount OF
individual holdings. 1t has already
been demonstrated that man
with inordinate wealth has no con-
science and will arrogate to him
self all the virtue or saint when he
is nothing but highway robber on
a large scale. Moberly Democrat

IF POSSESSION IS OBTAINED
Land, Largely Aceretions From Lake,
Occupied by Illinois Central, Several
Fine Residences and Hotels and Fac
tories-Suit Brought in Name Of
State.

Chicago, May 19.-Litigation involv-
ing many millions Of dollars in lands,
and considered by the plaintiffs as the
most important ever entered into by
this municipality, was begun today in
the filing of six suits by the city against
the occupants of land formed by ac-
cretions and filling in operations along
the lake front for a distance of four
and a half miles.
A greater part of this land is claimed
by the Illinois Central, whose right of
way runs thru it. The land is occu-
pied in addition to the railroad by
many magnificent residences, hotels,
and some industrial structures Should
the city be successful the land will be
made into parks and bathing Beaches,
forming a system whose beauty. it is
said, would stand unequaled in the
world. The suits, which are in form
Of quo warranto proceedings, are filed

LAY IT TO THE CURVE.
Princeton Astronomers Offer Reason
for rMiscaIculations.

Princeton Astronomers Offer Reason
for Miscacuiations.
Princeton, May 19.-The earth did
not plunge thru the tail of Halley's
comet at the time scheduled by astro-
nomsrs, according to Professor Russell,
of Princeton, and Zaccheus Daniel, dis
coverer Of three comets, but was sew
eral hours late in making the journey.
This failure of the comet to be on
time, they said today, was due to the
fact that the tail had developed a pro-
nourced curve, and it was long after
sun down in this section Of the country
before the passage of the earth thru
the comets appendage.
Russell at 2:45 a. m. noticed a dis
tinct straight light in the north that
resembled the milky way. He then
came to the conclusion that the earth
had not passed thru the comets tail,
because the tail was curled away from
US, and that the sun would be well
above the horizon when the passage
was made. AT that time, he said, the
head Of the comet. hadzpassed the disc
Of the sun and was well on the other
side Of the sun. Shortly after 8 a. M.
the light in the east disappeared, and
Russell said it was possible for the in
liaUlldIlLS OL HAWAI- anu pOSSiDly dSlIO.
nomers at Lick's observatory, Califor-
MIA, to detect in the darkness the pass
age of the earth thru the tail. Russell
added that the reason why most astro-
nomers had not been able to tell that
the tail was curved was because they
had been looking at the tail edgewise.
Mr.. Daniel said today that he also
noticed the light in the east shortly be-
fnPa 2 a and fo1 q
the earth had not passed thru the tail
Of the comet because Of the curvature
OF the appendage. He expressed the
belief that the passing Of the earth
thru the tail would make the curve
more pronounced. The time at which
the earth made the passage, he said,
could not be ascertained at Princeton
because the arch of the curve is not
knovQ there. Daniel explained that it
was not unusual for comet tails to be
curved.
