iecting the findings Of the board ard the
advice OF the President. There will be. OF
course. the ever present danger that an
intelligent public will see through the
scheme OF the Democrats. and that their
ton to do nothing which could
reflect credit on the President will prove a
boomerang especially as they are certain
to have the cordial support OF the extreme
protectionists in their position. The course
which the Democratic leaders now believe
most practicable from political point OF
view is that OF making such radical re-
ductions In the tariff that the President
cannot approve the measure sent TO him.
and in this they expect to enjoy the sup
port Of the insurgents in the Senate. who
are equally anxious to put the President
in hole
PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGEs.-The Pres
ident's tariff message will not be long, so
that all who are anxious TO learn the facts
for themselves may easily read II and as
simulate them. Early next week. before he
sends in his tariff message. he will send to
Congress d message dealing with questions
affecting the various federal departments.

message will reach Congress on Wednesday
or Thursday. and that there will be no
other before Christmas. The special mes

request OF Secretary Fisher. who has not
yet been able to complete his annual re-

Is expected that the report Of the Secretary
Of the Interior and the Presidents message
dealing with these allied subjects will be
sent TO Congress Immediately after the holi-

MIR KUGEL TO RETIRE
FROM ACTIVE BUSINESS.

MIR. A. kugel, who for more than
thirty-three years has been engaged
in the mercantile business in Farm
iugtOn, last week disposed of his
stock OF goods to &. Graham and
some other st. Louis parties, who
arrived here yesterday and took
charge Of the store. PerhrpS no
man in the county is more widely
known among our people than Mr..
Kugel. He came here In 1877 and
embarked in the mercantile bust
ness, his brother-in.law Mr.. Marx,
being associated with him for about
three years. Pennington then was
small village of 200 or 800 nhabi-
tants, and IA large part of the pres
ent Pennington was forest and field.
There were then only about five
brick houses In the town, and he
has watched its growth to its pres
ent Dimensions and helped to make
1t grow. OF the merchants who
were his contemporaries none now
remain unless we except Mr.. Jacob
HELLER, who was then as now en-
gagged in the hardware business. He
was the first to open up local
market for the farmers grain, his
first deal In that line being two car
loads of wheat which he bought in
the spring of 1873 from the late
Peter Doss and John Il. Murphy.
Now, Pennington, with its two
large mills, is one of the best wheat
markets in this part of the State.
Mr.. Kugel had a good many ups
and downs, but with persistence,
close attention to business and de-
termination to succeed, he tri-
umphed over all obstacles and Is to-
day comfortably fixed. But for an
accident couple of years ago
which crippled him in one ankle and
the declining health of his good
wife, who has been IA great help to
him all these years In his business,
he might probably have kept on
but the strain was too much and he
decided some months ago to retire
and take much needed rest. Mr..
Kugel has valuable property inter
ests here, is one of the principal
stockholders In the st. Francois
Hotel Association, and will con-
tinue to make his home in Farming
ton.
We understand that the new man
agement is preparing to make
rush sale of the present stock before
putting In u new line.

SILK FLAG FOR THE NEW
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

4 commendable movement has
been started to raise fund By pop
ular subscription for the purpose of
purchasing handsome silk flag and
staff for the new High School build
ing in Pennington. The suggestion
comes from several sources, origi-
mating we believe with the Monday
Club, which appointed committee
to initiate the movement, and
through II Picket Post of the Grand
Army Of the Republic was enlisted.
The Pennington News last week an /.
nounced that II would undertake to
raise u popular fund for this pur-
pose. The movement is a patriotic
and popular one that will meet with
hearty commentator and the sum
for a very handsome flag will no
doubt be easily raised. The plan is
to have everyone In the district,
man, woman and child, feel that he
or she has a share in 1t. With this
In view, large sums from any one
individual IL not expected, but sub
scriptions ranging from even one
cent up to one dollar, so that the
children may not feel that they are
left out. Picket Post, we are in
formed, will put 500 into the fund,
but this, az we understand It, is to
represent the membership OF that
We don't know what
such flag would cost, but probably
II would not much exceed one hun
dred dollars, hut in any event the
sum can be easily raised. Old
Glory, floating from the High
School building, would inspire the
children AS well as others with sen.
timents Of patriotism and pride for
their country, Any donations left
ut The Times Office will be turned
over to the proper committee or to
The News fund; and this reminds
rs that it would be a good idea for
some definite committee To he desig
lated for that purpose.

Rev. Anthony Henry Schaefer
for eighteen years pastor of SIS.
Philip and james Church at River
Aux Vase, Mo, expired at ll:lO Il.

ness of only five days. He had
been suffering from la grippe for
three days when one of his parish
toner's, who was i'll, called him. In
his weakened condition the trip Of
about thirty miles WAS too much
for him. On Sunday acute pneu-
monia developed and caused his
death. Rev. c. l.. van Touremhaut,
=. r., of Ste. Genevieve, and Rev.
+. Heimerscheid of Ozora, Mo-,
were with him as he passed away.
Father Schaefer, who was IS years
old, was native of Katernberg,
Germany, and was ordained to the
priesthood June a, 1887, at Lou
vaine, Belgium. He came to the
United States the same year. Then
he was appointed pastor OF st. Aga
tha's Church, Ninth ond Utah
streets, where he remained for two
years, and from there he was trans
ferred to Lawrenceville, Mo-,
whence he went to River Aux
Vase.
The funeral took place at River
Aux Vase. Thirty-two priests and
very large number OF his old
friends and parishioners accom-.
panied his remains to the grave un.
der the large crucihx In front of the
church where he had labored for
nearly Is years. Father Schaefer
was a frequent visitor to Farming
ton and had many friends here who
will remember him kindly. May he
rest in peace.

importance as a State in size and
in architectural plan 1t is pro-.
posed to submit proposition to
the people under an emergency
clause Of the constitution, which
would enable the people to vote on
the question in ninety days at a
special election. But under this
clause the bonds so authorized
could only run thirteen years,
would have to be approved by a
two. thirds majority of the vote
cast, and would necessitate an adj
ditiOnal State tax levy of about
three cents on the hundred dollars
valuation to meet the interest on
the bonds and provide for II sink
ing fund to pay off the principal

Capitol and the necessity for build.
ing a new one has arisen, a number
of ambitious towns would like to

moved-provided It was moved to

But we do not believe there is any

culated to arouse sentiment

farmer and had no influence in fix
