for several DAYS last week. The
Rock Island had several fires in the
same neighborhood along its route
last week, but no very big damages
reported.
Mrs. Dale had some concrete work
done on her cellar last week, by Mr..
Shores Hunter, and she is contem-
plating building a concrete water
tank for her stock lots.
Messrs. Shipman and Grantham,
who recently traded for the Belts

a business way. We hope they will
be well pleased and prosperous.
John Riggs, while hauling some

team getting scared and running off.
The wagon, loaded with hogsY passed

no bones. They ran in to Sy Hicks

Mr.. White and Ed Krieling stopped
the team after they broke the tongue.
Judge Kidwell then took the hogs
on to Versailles aud White and
Krieling, cared, for Riggs.
The sale at Mr.. Belts was we'll as-
tended, things sold well. Some

The New State Capitol.

We are IN favor of a new State
Capitol building, BIZ. not at Jefferson
Ii.y under present circumstances.
Jefferson City is about the most in
accessible town IN the state, no place
for a town, and nothing in the sur
roundings. to support a town.
The new Capitol, if built in Jefer-
son City, would W be seen by one
in a thousand of our. people, its mac
feasibility. and lack of railroad facili-
ties putting such q visit beyond the
reach of nearly all u citizens.
Jefferson City asks about 5000, 900
Tor grounds adjoining the present site,
which is included in the proposition,
presumably to be used as q Jefferson
City park TAS city should at least
donate the ground.
Jefferson City has tine ~penltentiary,
and that institution is about its size.
The Capitol and p%eniten,iary should
he in different locations.
AS to JEFFERSON City's right to the
seat OF government it is cheap senti-
mept, They have been given the OPP
portunity and failed to..nSxe good.
Jefferson City is not a white mans
town, and not likely ever will be.
The peanut politicians took snap
Judgment on the voters of the state
when they ordered the election with
out giving the people an opportunity
to say where and turning down pro-
positions that would give the state a
better location .aud suitable buildings
without cost to the taxpayers.
The price is too large, %extravagant
to the limit, and all for the special
benefit of the real estate spectators
of Jefferson City.
The Democratic State Committee,
al its meeting held in Jefferson City
a few weeks ago, resolved that it was
no proper place for the committee to
meet, being out of the way, railroad
connections bad, and Accommodations
poor. They ought to know.
And to cap the climax, the Score.
