M~lsSoURPS CAPITOL HOUSE AT

Loss Was 100000 Built in 1898
Believed to Have Been Hit
by Lightning.

A fire supposed to have been start
ed by lightning about 7 o'clock Sun
day night destroyed the Missouri
Capitol building. Twisted irons that
supported the roof hang from the
blackened walls, a part of which have
fallen.
Much of the building was furnish
ed in heavy hardwood, oak, cherry
and mahogany. This made a terrific
heat, upon which the water of the
hose company seemed to have no eff
feet.
The building cost $500, 600, but at
that time material was much cheap
er than now. The furniture was prac
tically new and very costly. Elk.

say nothing, about the valuable rec

RESIDENT
REGARDING ONE OF OUR FoRMEF
TOWNSMEN
The Paris (Mo.) Mercury and APP
peal Speak In Highest Terms
of w. n. n. Meyers

In speaking Of the late ". II. H.
Meyers. our former townsman, the
Paris lMoD Mercury and Appeal
which come to our office speaks in
highest terms of him and show very
clearly the esteem in which he was
held in that town Among other
things the following may be sited.
After mentioning the circumstances
of his death the Mercury mentions
the honors conferred upon him by tho
local NJ. W. A. lodge. two of whom
were detailed to accompany the body
to Lees Summet, where the Off
GERS from all over the state of Mis-
souri, met the funeral eourtage, and
floral emblems were also sent.
Further "No circumstance could
alter the good humor of the man
for any LENGTH of time or make it
less apparent. With these and a
fine eourtliness of personal manner
and a home distinguished for its
kindly, and ut all times unostentati-
Gus hospitality. he ingratiated him.

Of life he was able to give and take,
and to his energy and hisfaith is I'M
doubtedly due to the proportions TO
which Woodcraft. with all its in
estimable service, has attained in
this section of Missouri. His life
was a useful one in a public sense.
From The Appeal -"And the world

ever he spoke his voice vas lifted

and good citizenship. Wherever he
lived he practiced the virtues he

PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS ARE
BASE BALL LOVERS
All Countries Have Heroes OF The
Diamond For Fans To
Rect For

In the United States base bali de-
serves its title of national game, not
only because it has more devotees
than any other outdoor amusement
and not alone because this country
perfected the sport and brought it
TO its present form, but also be-
cause it is ESSENTIALLY a game Of no
enc race orr creed. In looking over
the rosters of the big teams, while
the Irish, German, French and Eng
fish m predominant, still the
patron mymics of the Indian, the
Pole, the Italian, the Swede and the
Cuban may be found there.
This has been so almost since the
time that leagues were formed and
base ball came into prominence, whiC
has increased with every playing sea-
son. In the early eighties Vincent
Naya, a Cuban, was one of the first
string catchers on the Providence
team. Another Cuban will train witt
a big league team this spring.
In the eighties Sockalexis flashed
like a comet across the major league
horizon. This Indian left-fielder bat
ted .331 for Cleveland in 1897 and
fielded like a whirlwind. lie and
Pappaulau proved that the red man
could profitably desert the warpath
for the base ball path. The original
Americans are Represented in the
major leagues today. Charles 4.
Bender, a Carlisle university man
led the American league pitchers
last year by winning twenty-three out
of twenty-eight games for the Ath-
latics.
Zach David Wheat. whose mother
was the daughter of a Cherokee
eheiftain, was one of the finds of
1909, and will add strength to the
Brooklyn team again this season. ].
J. Meyers, a full blooded Indian from
Riverside, Cal, won many a contest

The Poles cheer for Harry Coyal-

courage with advice and praise. Two
National league teams are to have
Japanese on their training squads thi
spring. In the series of a contest,
however, all ~nationalities merge and

Installed 1t is Making Very
Satisfactory Progress

The big ditcher is now rapidly
moving down the bottoms Of the low

the new boilers were installed there
are fewer delays, and progress has
been satisfactory and sure. The
dredge has nearly two miles of chan
mel back of it to the cid river chan
nel, aud as a consequence has no
difficulty in keeping a sufficient hea
of water for working to best advan-
tage.
The open winter has also greatly
favored the progress of the work.
Nothing unlocked for interfering, the
dredge should reach the head OF the
big ditch below Salem early in the
spring.
With another season coming on, the
farmers in the bottoms will appre-
Gate the protection afforded, by
the opened ditch. The largest Sc
ourity cannot be realized until the
channel is opened its entire length
and advantage can be taken of the
greatly increased velocity of the cur

Peach Crcp

1t looks at this time as though
there would not be much of a peach
crop. Many fruit growers say the
buds are dead. This is due to the
severe cold in January, not the length
of the cold spell but because of the
sudden dropping in temperature to
such a very low degree. The prun-
ing of orchards is receiving such at
tention as was eve given to this
branch of farm work before. The
farmers are realizing that fruit grow
ing is one of the most profitable bran
ches of farm life and the care of
their orchards is one of their chief
thoughts just now. There are many
expert primers at work through the
country and more could be used if
they were available. Few counties
excel old Richardson in the fruit
growing business.
