The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1911-07-06

There's no politics in the capitol
bond proposition. It is endorsed by
the leaders and voters of each and ey-
cry political party. It is heartily ap-
proved by Governor Hadley and just as
heartily supported by Democratic State
officials. Its success will not be
party triumph but great benefaction.
The State has no capitol. The pro-
position to build one is a business
matter. The issue of bonds to the a.
mount $500. 900 will be good busi-
ness policy, and If the bonds are voted
and issued the money will be spent
under the direction of competent and
honest business men. There is not
single unselish or plausible reason for
defeating this bond issue. Not a
single argument has yet been advanced
against it that has the ear marks of
honest purpose or patriotic motive.

The government is now establishing
lights along the Missouri river In an
ticipation of the resumption of navig-
alton. The government officials know
that the big stream is to be restored to
usefulness and taken from the grasp
of railroads which fear Its competitor
In freight rates. The waterways of
Missouri are destined to play a very
large part IN its development and in
increasing its wealth and population.

Governor Hadley and his family are
now occupying his cabin on his farm
near Jefferson City, which they prefer
to hotel accommodations at summer
resort. They need no heat there not
Just now so the mansion grounds and
the light and heat furnished by the
state viii not be able to show their
hatred of Republican governor by
turning of the heat, as they did last

THE SKYSCRAPER.


Wilbur D. Nesbit.
First, the dream Of man-and then
The days and nights of thousand men.
You who saw it arise, you know
How the girders were woven in,
Up and over and to and fro
AS spider and huger kin
That were weaving web of size
Which should swing frow the bending skies.
We know, too, how they interlacs-
Brick and granite and steel-Ah yes,
These were hurried each to its place,
Shaped and blended in comeliness,
e Formed and inishsl in massive grace
True and perfect from roof to base.
Roof and window and wall and floor
You have seen them, and see them now!
They the structure-But is there more?
Is there nothing to tell, somehow,
Of the burdens, the burdens the builders bore,
Of the callous their fingers wore?
Rich mosaic beneath your heel
And the building is builded of
Brick and granite and glass and steel.
In, and under, about, above,
Is there nothing the walls conceal7
Is there nothing the walls reveal?
Where the portion of labor's fight?
Work in quarry and toll in mine,
Stress and striving by day and night
Has it never space or line?
Is there nothing to bring to light
All the glones the workmen write?
First the dream of man. and then
The days and nights of thousand men.

What is a "Honyocker P"

Public Opinion. viii some good broth
er "out west" please explain.-Water-
town Public Opinion.
Now wouldn't that surprise you? The
learned editor of the Public Opinion
doesen't know what "Honyocker" is?
The Telegram will come to his assistance
with the information that west of the
Missouri river "Honyocker" is classi-
cal English for farmer homesteader.
1t drifted in couple Of years ago with
some foreign settlers and has taken the
place of the erstwhile "Soddie."-E. L..
Sem, in The Deadwood Daily Telegram.
For the benefit of the two brothers
aforementioned The Plaindealer begs
to inform them that the word "Hony-
ecker" is from the Norwegian tongue
and means "New Conner" or "New Set
tier" Several persons who were not
conversant with the Norwegian tongue
heard this term applied to the New Arri-
walls and picked it up and have applied
it unto this day. 1t is classical English,
Brother L. L. Sem, only as it has been
Americanizsd through usage. 1t is our
opinion that the Public Opinion was
seeking to know where the word came
from, and what it technically meant
not how it was used.-Whitewoo Plain

A PLUM ORCHARD.

Probably some of our readers are not
aware that there is plum orchard in
bearing within the city limits of Custer,
but it is nevertheless, fact. While the
CHRONICLE reporter was over in Smiths
addition Wednesday searching for news
he unexpectedly came upon plum or
chard in full bearing Mrs. Mary Todd
living on Tenth street between Wash
ington and Gordon streets, is the owner
of this orchard. Mrs Todd planted a
group of native plums six years ago
this is the first year they have borne, but
the trees are now so full of fruit they
have to be propped up to prevent the
limbs from breaking down. She has
both the red and yellow varieties. This
crop of plums will make fine lot oi
jelly for winter use.
If you are doubling Thomas as to
this soil and climate producing fruit,
take stroll around that way tomorrow
and see how abundantly those trees
bear.
Every property owner should have 9
few fruit trees in his yard or garden
With proper care and cultivation theil
yield in few years would surprise you
An orchard, though it be small one
would enhance the value and appear
ance of your property.

UNION Stock YARDS, !
So. Omaha, Sept. 8, 1911. J
Receipts this week with comparison:
CATTLE.

Notwithstanding the fact that receipts
were some $500 smaller than last week
and II 500 smaller than year ago, the
demand for fat cattle has been rather in.
different of late, and closing prices for
both cornfed and range beeves are all of
10 to l5c lower than last week. Best
native beeves sold for $3.50 and best
Western rangers brought SO. 45 this week,
and packers acted as if they did not
need great many cattle. They say the
demand for beef down East is very re-
stricted, and there is more or less COM
plant Of high prices aud dull times.
At all events, it was very dull and
dragging market all week, and the feel
ing was weak at the close. Cows and
heifers found tolerably broad outlet
most of the time, and values were fairly
well sustained, closing quotations being
anywhere from steady to about dime
lower for the week. In stockers and
feeders the demand was disappointingly
small, and even at 10 to l5c decline
for the week there was a very restricted
trade and good many cattle were car
ried over to next week in yard traders
hands.
