Never before has Missouri seen such

Water-works Cut Insurance Rates,

The Centralia Guard says that
the installation of water-works
plant in that city has cut down the
insurance rates on business property
33 1-3 per cent. The rate on resi-
dence property wasn't cut much,
Mr. Rollins; the Kansas City con-
sultine engineer, who was here last
week, said that the installation of a
"ater-works plant usually cuts in
surance rates an average of about
10 per cent.-Shelbina Torchlieht.

So much has been said Of late
about the bumper crop Texas ex-
poets to raise this year that its effect
has been to have bad influence on
the market. The intense heat Of
the past week throughout Texas and
the Panhandle country has worked
to the detriment Of the crop, and
the belief is strong that the big cot
ton crop expected in Texas this
year has been greatly exaggerated.
The following letter from Mr.. d.
B. Pond, former Tensas parish
man, and now a prominent citizen
of Dodge. Texas, in the heart Of
the cotton belt, to a planter Of this
parish, gives an accurate account
of the situation in bis county, and
which can be accepted as an in
dex of the true conditions prevalent
over the entire State. The letter is
dated August 9Th, and reads:
81 think the Texas cotton crop has
been terribly oyerated.
IF the cotton crop has deteriorated all
over the State like it has in this county,
Texas can't make any more cotton than
last year, if as much.
"We have the finest stalk ever known
but no fruit, and have boll worms,
catapillss, sharp shooters and some boil
weevils. We have new worm here that
eats up the bloom, and they are bad.
'The best planter in this county told
me yesterday that be had cotton taller
than mule and there was not boil on

the election Of last year by turning

On the final vote On the infamous
Payne-Aldrich law how did Messrs.
Pujo and Broussard vote? With the
solid Democratic membership of the
House against the bill? With Champ
Clark, now Speaker Clark, and his
colleagues? or with ex-Speaker Joe
CannonY There were just four Dem
ocrats, or so-called Democrats, who
voted for this bill and two of these
votes were cast by the two gentle
men who now aspire to the Senator
ship, Messrs. Broussard and Puio.
When the bill came UP for passage,
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark,
moved to recommit it to the Ways
and Means Committee, with instruc-
tons to report a bill cast on the
lines laid down in the last Demo-
cratic PLATFORM bill levying a
tariff for revenue only and placing
on the free list all articles coming
in competition with articles made
by Trusts. All the Democrats in
the House except four voted for Mr..
Clark's motion. Puio and Brous-
sard, together with Speaker Can
non and his followers voted against
the motion and thus fastened on the
country the Payne-Aldrich law.
Now, who shall we vote for, we

vote for Sanders who viii with all
