Amos Harris Talks to the st. Louis
Stock Reporter.

"Of course the farmers are not
very elated over the way the
markets have taken a turn the last
four weeks and after having fed
their stock throughout the summer
on 60 and Csc corn they naturally
feel the situation pretty keenly,"
was the way L. A. Harris, a well
known farmer and feeder of Au-
drain county, Mo-, put it while
here with two cars of we'll fatteI
steers. "For instance the cattle

IA Wet Farce"

j. K. Pool, editor of the Cen.
tralia Courier and who was at the
head of the Democratic State
Publicity Committee during the
late campaign, calls the election
in st. Louis a wet farce. He
witnessed part of the counting OF
the election ballots last week,
and he thinks twenty-five or
thirty thousand "dry" votes did
not get into the counting.
Mr.. Shannon, Chairman of the
State Democratic Committee,
says: The election in st. Louis
did not and does not represent
the sentiment of the people, and
if the truth is ever known it will
appear that thousands who voted
for the tenth amendment, or tried
to do severe foiled in the pur-
pose.

selves, convince me there was NO
election here last Tuesday on any
of the eleven proposed amend
ments. I make that statement as
solemnly as if l were testifying in
court.
"These fellows who had charge
of things went out to Save St
Louis and in doing that they
took no chances. They slaughter
ed all amendments with the same
viciousness and the same disre
gard of everything that looks like
honesty at the ballot box. | d.
not charge this happened in every

means a prOhibitionist, declare
that his statement as to 'n,
election is "particularly an'
notably true Of the proposition 0
the "drya."

The Message enters upon its
twelfth volume this week. We
have held the fort here for eleven
years when some of our friends
predicted we would not hold it
eleven weeks. The opportunity
and opening was here, and our
determination was firm and set
from the first. For several years,
now, our friends have been tell
ing us that we have the best paper
in Audrain county, by far the
best. And we also verify believe
we have the largest circulation Vt
any other paper in. the county.
We have been working hard and
going some, and we intend t.
keep up the gait. We ought to
have $3.50 a year for the paper in,
stead of $1.00, but if you will pay
the $1.00 promptly, and in adj
vance, youll hear no kick coming
from us,-provided, perhaps, We
can continue to endure the pres
emit high cost of living.

A. E. Stilwell of the Wabash
Railroad has written "An Open
Letter" urging fair and just
treatemnt of the railroads. He
argues that it is money in the
voters pocket if the railroads
prosper, but all will feel hard
times if confidence in the rail
roads is not maintained. He says
that 100000 less people were en-
ployed on the railroads last year
than in the panic year of 1907
"the laborer has suffered thru
adverse railroad agitation" AT
least two billion FIVE hundred mil
lion dollars was paid for labor by
the railroads in'the last ten years
for new railroad work, new
equipment, to lumber mills and tie
makers and to steel mills-and il
more adverse legislation comes,
and If this railroad expenditure
is cut down one-half in the next
ten years, because of adverse leg
islation, every other man employ
ed ia all this work for the last
ten years must be let out.

CHOICE OF SITE
LEFT WITH TRUSTEES.
Arrangements May Be Made Today
Broadway Parish House FavorsbIy
Considered.


The members of the UniversalIst
Memorial on Monday evening, and dis
cussing for about an hour the ques-
tton of selecting site for their new
church edifice, finally took action
which left the entire matter OF
selection of site and erection of the
building in the hands of the trustees
of the church. Chairman Z. A. Tracy
OF the trustees, who presided at the
meeting, stated that the board might
be able to make arrangements about
the site today.
The meeting was largely attended,
ana number took part in the discus
sion of the good and bad points of two
sites into which the choice narrowed
down. These were the DIR. Hanford
property on Broadway. at the corner of
Willow street. and the property fur
Their up the hill and on the opposite
side of Broadway, which is the parish
house of Broadway Congregational
church. Each site had its advocates,
but the discussion of the claims of each
was conducted in a tactful way so that
friction was avoided. The DIR. Hanford
property had been before the church al
a previous meeting, when a number
of other sites were also discussed but
the parish house property was consid@
cred this time for the first time. II
had a number of strong advocates. but
after the discussion was over the con-
gregation evidently felt that the mat
ter had been well settled by leaving IL
to the trustees, after they had had sn
opportunity to become acquainted with
the general feeling of the members as
brought out in the discussion.
If either site is taken Chairman
Tracy stated that the buildings now
standing would be torn down and an
entirely new church edifice erected
There would be no attempt to alter the
residences which now occupy the two
lots. He believed that a church home
with which the congregation would all
be pleased could be erected upon either
lot.

Chimney at Home of George NJ. FrinI
Caused Considerable Excitement.

A chimney fire at the home OF
George n. F'rink of East Great Plain
furnished excitement for himself and
his neighbors Monday morning. The
fire was first noticed by Mrs. Edward
f. Abel. who lives next to Mr.. Frink
and she notified him at once. There
was much smoke and some blaze com
ing from the chimney. Assisted by
neighbors. Mr.. Frink poured salt down
the chimney and after considerable
effort extinguishcd the fire. The tin
roof was but little damaged. The
chimney was an old one and had not
been used for long time until Mr.
F'rink recently connected a stove with
it TO make room in his kitchen. The
accumulation of large quantity OF
SCOT in the old chimney undoubtedly
caused the fire.

Charles c. Haskell Lsotured to Mas,
Meeting on Food and Its Relation to
Health.

Speaking of his address on Food and
Its Relation to Health before a mass
meeting in Boston Friday evening. the
Boston Globe says:
Charles Courtney Haskell health
scientist, of Norwich Conn, declared
that pure blood comes from proper
nour1sbnent, and that if We have pure
blood we can have no disease, platiniy
intimating that neither can We grow
old. His prescription necessary to de-
fy disease and old age was to eat
only when one is very hungry and
never more than twice a day. The
first meal is to be at noon Hunger
can come only after considerable ex-
ercise has wasted the cells of the body
ing sleep. Consequently morning
meal must be unnecessary and harm
full. If there is any day when you
do not feel hungry, then do not eat
at all till the folloWin gday.
Eugene Christian was another prom
inent speaker at the meeting.
