GOOD MCSiC-AND OTHER THINGS

No city OF its size in Missouri offers
such educational, religious and social
advantages as Columbia. 1t is dis
tinctly a college town with that at
mosphere of culture. refinement and
advancement which charactcrizes
every educated community.
Columbia is giving its attention to
the manufacture of good citizens. to
the training of men and women, as
well as to the manufacture Of shoes
and TO other industries. Columbia
maintains for its boys and girls
large and attractive high school
building, wholly adequate, the best
teachers and the best instruction
While other cities OF its size have to
depend for their enlightenment and
entertainment largely upon the local
pastors. and the public school teach
ers, Columbia is hearing addresses by
Baroness Won Suttner, Judge Selden
p. Spencer of st. Louis, Charles II.
Grasty of Baltimore and many others
of international and national renown
While other cities hear only music by
ln hfpl, cob a,.+o
local talent, Columbia is bringing be-
fore its citizens Madame Gadski, Ku-
helix. Mischa Elman and Bispham.
Why it is Columbia has these su-
perior advantages? Because there
are here literary. scientific and musi-
cal organizations. whose sole purpose
is to maintain the educational stand
ard of the city.
At present the enterprise of Phi Mu
Alpha is shown in connection with it's
bringing to this city another seasons
Offering of the best in musical realms.
Madame Gadski, who is one of the
artists to appear here under the aus
pices of this organization, has won
laurels not only on the American
stage but also in Europe. Her inter-
probation of Wagnerian parts in said
to be magnificent She is capable of |
interpreting human desires and emo
tions in a way that inspires and up
lifts. All her critics say this.
The citizens of Columbia appreciate
the work of Phi ATu Alpha in again
bringing to the city musicians of re-
nOwn and ability. Their appreciation,
however, will be best expressed by the
audiences which greet these artists as
they appear.
Columbia is a good place to live in.
1t is a good place to grow in.

Twenty Years Ago.

The weekly newspaper reporter had
been out to see the Tigers practice
their accomplishment, football. He
said that the thing most needed for
football at the University was a road
to the field so the spectators could
get there. There was not an amphi-
theatre of any kind. either.
The University Argus was issued
for the first time. It was to be pub
lished every two weeks.
A circus train which was to have
in Columbia was wrecked at

WHY IT'S TIE NATIONAL GAME.

Give boy a ball of string and a
round stick, he will get two compan-
ions next door and they will have a
game of baseball These are the only
things absolutely necessary for a
game. A place to play is minor
matter The front yard. the street,
vacant lot or the church yard will
do. Usually the nearest one will be
chosen.
The cheap equipment and the
ease with which a game may be ar
ranged have made baseball the game
which every normal boy plays. 1t
requires physical skill and mental
alertness. That appeals to the boy.
His liking for the sport becomes so
strong that he plays on regardless OF
the call TO dinner. He may have seen
the ice cream freezer and the fried
chicken in the kitchen that morning.
too.
Years after, when he is a grown up
boy with some gray hair, he still
reads about baseball and goes to see
it. He may play, too. occasionally at
a picnic or some other outing when
the fat men play the leans" or the
bachelors try to beat the married men.
He cannot lose his interest in that
game that he used to play.
Baseball is the American sport be-
cause it is democratic The simple
equipment which the boys can get at
a trifling cost shows that it is game
for every class. Football, tennis,
polo. golf, cricket or any other sport
requires grounds and accessories that
cost enough to keep them from being
popular with all classes. 1t is not

CHARGE RUSSIAN
 AGENTS STIR UP :
 SAIL0RS' MUTINY

St Petersburg, Sept. 6.-Growing out of the charge by Admiralty of fcials that agents provocature'' ill the ministry of the interiors service have been instigating mutinies among the Russian sailors, it was said, to- day, that a bitter feud has developed between the two departments
 It has long been the interior min istry'S theory that the enploym ent of spies to preach revolution to the masses is the simplest way of learn ing what places most needed watch h- ing to prevent outbreaks.
 The Admiralty naturally objects to this when applied to the navy. As a result of the fight, the fall of inn portant official heads is predicted.
 Nothing is known here of the out come of the battle between the muti- ueers on the ships in the Black Sea fleet and the shore garrison at Sevas- topol, so thoroughly has the govern ment suppressed news of the trouble

 WHO CANNOT SPEAK
Unknown is Found by Police in Peculiar ConditiOn-Can't
 Even Write His Name

Resisting all efforts on the part of the police or surg to bring him to a realization of his personality or whereabouts. one. John Doe"' at the Fairfield avenue police station is a man of mystery to both the patrol men and surgeons who have vainly attempted to secure his identity
 The unknown, a man of about 5 feet inches in height, weighing 140 pounds, blue eyed, brown hair, full face and attired in a somewhat soiled gray mixed suit and blue working shir$, was found in unconscious condition at 3:30 yesterday afternoon corner of Water and Tulip streets by Patrolman Browne. When brought before the booking window he was unable to enunciate or write cof1er- ently and after a nights sleep in the cells, still appeared to be suffering from some form of asphasia.
 A badly disco1ored right eye indi- eating contact with some hard object is thought to be the possible cause of his condition. He will be placed under medical supervision if no changed is noted during the day.

Sept. 6-Col Roosevelt carried his missionary work through North Dakota. starting here early today with three scheduled speeches and the expectation of ad- dressing crowds at the rear end of the train at half dozen other stops.

He expected to drive home his views on cooperative farming movements. the back to the soil'' idea, and in- cidentally talk reciprocity, the tariff and trusts

now erecting a 40x60 feed mill under
separate roof; one new office building
has gene up; a large addition is being
added to the E. o. Anderson blacksmith
shop for a wood working department;
second story is being added at this
time to the school house; three new
barns have been built; and while yet
uncertain the farmers will certainly
build another warehouse here not later
than next year, if it is not put up this
fall. The Deary Lumber company is
installing a sawmill, that will make
its planning mill no longer dependent
on mountains mills for it's supply.
Some of the homes have been built
in Deary while others are on the
Deary Home and Orchard tracts, which
consists of lands wholly surrounding
the original townsite. Among the
close-in property is the five-room bum
galow of John Carlson; the four-room

porches built by o. D.. Carpenter. the
bungalows Of Fred c. Miller and Fred

plans, with the Miller home of larger
dimensions than that built by Mr..
GranniS.
One of the prettiest homes in the
city is that of Emory Olson, recently
finished by Chas. Miller, contractor.
This is one of the homes built on
strictly modern lines and it would do
credit to any city in the Inland EN-
pire. o. B. Waller has also erected
residence that as soon as it has been
painted will be a credit to the town. |

new home, timbers for the founda-
ton of which are now on the ground.
On the tracts, Fred Beyers is plan

liable of any in this section. His plans
are after German pattern and many
unique ideas are said to be incorpora-
led in them. This will also be erected
