Disposing of Mckinley.

Trembling forth from the umbrage-
Gus precincts OF the Hadley agricul-
tural experiment station near Jeffer-
son City, quivering in unison with
the lowing of the kline and the drowsy
tinklings which are supposed TO lull
the distant folds of Missouri Republi-
canism to dreamless rest, the swan
song of Republican harmony floats
upon the breeze. It is the dirge Of
the Mckinley Gubernatorial boom.
Give Mckinley a Federal job, is the
mournful cry. He is not good enough
to serve the State. AS Republican,
he is too old-fashioned. He belongs

TWain's Teacher is 81.

East Liverpool, O., July l9-Cap.
tain Abner Martin, the oldest Missis.
sippi and Ohio River man in this
section of the Ohio Valley, celebrated
his ninety-first birthday anniversary
yesterday.
1t was Captain Martin who taught
Samuel Clemens Mark Twain all
that the latter ever knew about a
steamboat, and when both were
working on the old river packet,
pennsylvania, - "told Sam he would
never make hit as steamboat
man, said Captain Martin laconical-
ly, "and he didn't. He was too witty,
even when on pilot-house deck.
''Sam broke into the lecture bust
ness in Sacramento, CAL, soon after
the war, and when he was dead broke.
He made deal with an opera house
manager, who talked against Sam
going on the stage. Sam got out his
dodgers, and on them he had printed:
Doors open at 1880 o'clock-trouble
starts at g. He spent all night writ
ing his first lecture. He was still at
it at sunup. The house was packed,
and Sam cleared over $1,000 that
highland he got the opera house
for nothing"
Captain Martin declares that few
people ever knew how Sam got into
the lecture business. When the war
broke out he enlisted in the Confed-
crate Army, spent few months and
then went to the Hawaiian Islands,
where he remained until after the
war. Returning home dead broke,
Sam then wrote and delivered his
first lecture.

clerk of the Supreme Court Natural

Republican, was so shocked he ap-
piled for vacation to recover his
mental equilibrium.
Among the declarations which every
petitioner for citizenship has to make
are that he is not opposed to the prin-
ciples of organized government and
is not a polygamist or believer in
polygamy.
When Wallace asked Giuseppe
Antonelli if he knew what a poly
gamist was he replied:

When things do not 60 just as they
should, when the weather is too hot
and the crops are not coming along
just as they should; perhaps, too, the

whistle and sing just the same, and
be all the better for it, or he can be-

 It will be no reflection on anyone to say that Gus Henderson has as many, if not more friends than any one indivld- ual character on the fair grounds
 His stunt" or outrage" as he calls it. is a comedy to behold. and never fails to convulse the crowds with laughter when he is doing it. He will be here during the entire term of the fair, an- nouncing the free acts.

With the twofold purpose of attending the all south conference, which con- venes tomorrow and also to assume his duties as member of the executive com mittee during the meeting of the South ern Commercial Secretaries association, Joseph B.

Pursuant with the custom of the organization, the present secretary, J. s. Warren of, Mem phis will be elected president, to succeed NJ. B. Trezevant of New Orleanns.

PARKER BOOSTS
 THE STATE FAIR
"IS the Most Wonderful EX- hibit Ever Given in
 Alabama"

John l.. Parker, who has been con nected with the State Fairs held here ever since their inception, carefully looked over the present fair yesterday and pronounced it by far the best one that has ever been held in this city. Dr. Parker adds that he hoped the people of Birmingham and Alabama would come here and assist in making the fair complete success.
 Dr. Parker said that 1t required only 6 casual investigation of the agricul- tural exhibits at the fair to become convinced that in Alabama the most wonderful agricultural possibilities are open to the intelligent farmer.
 "The State Fair now in progress should be a matter of pride to this en- tire state" said pr. Parker. "Of all the fairs that have been held in this state none have ever approached this one. Every free act is clever. up-to- dale and worth seeing. attended the show a night or two ago with some of the best citizens of Birmingham and they were simply carried away with the excellence of the midway.
 The dairy products have never been equalled at any of our fairs. The swine and live stock is far above any other show ever held in this state. The min eral and machinery department is a credit not alone to this district but the south, The greatest exhibition ever held in the south cannot compare with that machinery exhibit. The womans s department is rated AAA1, Mrs. Reid deserves the commendation of the whole district in having assembled such a wonderful exhibit.
 '"The midway and the free acts are rot cheap We have given all that we have advertised. The music satisfies the most critical taste; the aeroplane acts next week will be wonderful while the fireworks at night were never at tempted in the south on such an elabor- ate scale.'
