Majors staff win Work Roads.

jefferson City-All the colonels on
Gov. Majors military staff must work
on the roads on good roads days, I'M
less they contribute 50 per day to

needed to call out the colonies, His
statement follows:
AS the governor is going to work
on the public roads on Aug. 20 and p
himself, the colonies on his stan are
expected, under the military code, to
follow suit without orders. They can
be relieved only by contributing to
the fund 20 buy state road machinery
an amount equal to two days work. .
Gov. Major has wired all the cpun-
ty courts Of the state, requesting
them to issue proclamations TO the
able-bodied citizens of their raspec'
tive counties calling on them t. work

erAre SUPERINTENDENT EVANS
pREPAREs sIxTY-sEvENTH
ANNUAL APPoRTioNMENT.
IS BASED ON ATTENDANCE
Counties Regarded as Comparatively
Poor Districts Are Great Benefi-
claries Under State Aid Law
Others Lose Share.

Jefferson City.-W. p. Evans, state
superintendent of schools, announced
the figures for the sixty-seventh an
r,,ol apportionment. The total is ST..
6iAG51.22. which will be discussed to
the public schools of the counties
from the state treasury within the
next few weeks.
The total apportionment last year
was S1,S04. 070.41, but in that year
there was only $27,70G.S7 that went
out as state aid" to weak rural
schools. This year the total for rural
common schools and for high schools,
under the new law, is $235, 900, which
decreases both the grand total for dis
trlbution and the per capita for each
child of school age in the state.
This general apportionment is based
upon attendance. Formerly the APP
portlonment was based upon the num-
Der OF children of school age. On tCis
basis counties in which there are
schools other than public schools do
not receive as much money as for
merly.
Counties in what are regarded as
comparatively poor districts of the
state are graz tcrehciaries under the
state aid law. There are a number of
counties in the central southern and
southwestern parts where the state
aid amounts to nearly as much as
the regular school apportionment.
Rich counties, where very little
state aid is asked. are losers in their
share of the funds.
Last year st. Louis received $685.
sSi.14. and this year will get 5000.
1886; Jackson county last year got
$li7,S96.22, and this year S146.3S5.2S;
and buchanan county last year, $45,-
09C,3S, and this year 41,414.09.
Barry county under this apportion.
ment will draw s13, S46.46. and in addi-
ton to that will get under the state
aid law a little more than $4,000.
Douglas county will draw under this
apportionment sS,597.46, and over
$1,000 under the state aid.

NEW CURE FOR SWELl-HEAD
Let the Fowls Go by Themselves,
Separating From Others, II It
Can Be Done Conveniently.

CBy MRS. f. NJ. sTETsON. California;
There is q practice among poultry
people to catch a fowl with SWELL
head and squeeze the white matter
out, thinking that this will relieve the
bird of It's corruption and cause 1t to
get well.
This is entirely wrong. A sac or
covering surrounds this white matter,
keeping 1t from going any further
than the one organ When this sac
is broken, as 1t must necessarily be
by the breaking of It's outside covering
in order to eject II from the eye, the
contagion Is allowed to go down tho
nose and spread to the whole head.
The bird is then hopeless case. for
there is no remedy now but the AK.
The matter which will be found in tho
blood of the fowl Is also of very
contagious nature and contact with
other organs will cause them to take
on similar conditions of corruption and
decay.
II the bird is kept in warm place
and is fed on highly stimulating and
nutritious food the blood will finally
right itself, but 1t cannot do so IL
largely re-infected, or vaccinated with
the virus of the disease throughout
the entire head.
The proper way to do Is not to
touch the head, just letting the fowls
go by themselves; this is better than
the squeezing treatment, but separate
them IL convenient from the other
chickens and keep warm and feed all
they will eat.
If the eye is not pecked by the other
chickens, as in fighting over food, or
the sac is not broken. there IL no
special danger of the other birds catch
ing the disease, even If they are allow
ed to run together.
We spent several dollars for roup
medicine, worked necessarily, causing
ourselves and the poor chickens I'M
told misery by trying the squeezing
out method, and always lost the cases.
Now we let them run and. save for a
blind eye, we seldom ever have one

Insurance Firms Agree to Resume.

INSURANCE FIRMS agree to Resume.
Jt ferson City.-The fire insurance
middle in Missouri was settled in
conference between Attorney-General
Barker, representing the state, and
Charles L. Sheldon of New York and
F. N. Judson, F. Nv. Lehman and
Edward F. Goltra Of st. Louis, repre-
senting the companies. Seventy.fve
per cent of the 1872 companies which
withdrew from the state, including all
the big concerns, Immediately will re-
sumo business in Missouri. Under the
terms of the settlement the small for
eign insurance companies, constitut-
ing probably 20 per cent of the mum.
Der which quit business, may with
draw from the state If they desire.
Judson and the other insurance con
freres told the encouragement that
the small companies had been losirg
money heavily because they were I'M
able to compete with the big COM
panies and that they should be per-
mitted to withdraw from Missouri.
The encouragement agreed to this.
Must Rely on Court.
The insurance representatives as
sured the encouragement that every
big company would take up business
and write insurance as vigorously as
ever. The companies must resume
business and rely upon the supreme
court to dismiss the conspiracy pro-
ceedings by the encouragement.
Attorney-General Barker announced
he would Immediately file a motion to
dismiss the suits, which the court will
take under consideration when 1t con-
venes Oct. Ia. Until that time the IN
surance companies must do business
in good faith.
The full terms of the settlement
are:
That all the companies, except GER
tain small ones exempted, resume
business at once.
That the encouragement file in the
supreme court a motion to dismiss
his proceedings.
That small companies which have
DOch iOpihb buoiHeS5 We peTiHilteu W
leave the state should they desire.
That no prosecutions will be under
taken against the companies bot
toned on section 10313A of the Orr
antitrust act, which is held by the
encouragement in his opinion to the
insurance companies to be unconsti-
tutional.
That If prosecuting attorneys insti-
tute proceedings against the COM
panies bottomed upon alleged viola.
tions of section 1O313A, he will dis
miss them.
Section 10313A of the Orr antitrust
act makes it prima facie evidence of
guilt for an insurance company to
have in possession rate cards similar
to those used by other companies
The attorney-general's opinion,
which was given to Sheldon, Judson
and Lehmann, touching the validity
of the prima facie section of the Orr
antitrust act, was the basis of cir.
cular letter issued by the insurance
representatives to the insurance com.
panies, advising them to return to the
state.

WAR ON LIQUOR WORLDWIDE
Secretary Of State Bryan Tells Union
League Club OF Chicago Of
Temperance Work.

MAY we not appeal to the youns
men OF this country to abstain from
The use of alcohol, that their brains
nay be clear and their nerves steady
'or the battles of peace and progress
that lie before us!"
These ringing words are part OF q
speech delivered by Secretary OF
State William J. Bryan-not before a
temperance audience or a young peo-
ple's society, but before the Union
League club OF Chicago, a company OF
hard-headed business men.
In most Of the countries Of Eu-
rope" Mr.. Bryan said, you will find
that the liquor question is the moral
question of paramount importance. l
was In northern Ireland some two
years and a half ago and met the man
who recognized what is known as the
'Catch-Me-Par Total Abstinence So
dety 1t began with a meeting on the
street between a minister and five
drunken men, and one of them asked
the minister to get the othc- four to
sign the pledge. He invited them to
come to his house when they were
sober and to sign, and they came, and
when the five had signed they went
out and got FIVE more, each man bring
ing back his pal, and FIVE more sign
ed, and then the ten went out and got
ten more and they organized this So
| ciety, which, when l was there, had
reached q membership of 100000 and
had changed the lives and habits of
whole communities. And a Belfast
lady told me story that was the out
growth of the WORK done by this so
ciety. She said that many drunkards
had been reformed and that a minis
ter, speaking to the wife Of one OF
these reformed men. said: Your home
life must be more pleasant now, since
your husband has quit drinking and
she said: oh, yes, yes, he is more
like a friend now than a husband
CLaughter.) And such change can
be accomplished and can take place
under favorable circumstances.
France, one of the greatest wine
producing countries in the world, has
decided to teach In the schools the
: thtCL IN Oh NhC yoNNAAi'
But the most startling piece of news
comes from Germany. Some two
years ago the emperor, speaking to
the naval cadets at vevey. dared tc
attack what he described as the tradi
tional beer-drinking habits of his peo
pie. He told these young men that in
any contests that might arise the
country must depend upon them, and
that It could not do so unless their
brains were clear and their nerves
steady, and then he warned them that
alcohol would rob their brains OF
clearness and their nerves OF steadi
ness, and in the name of the Father
land he appealed to them to join total
abstinence societies, and he held VI
for their own example the total alb
stinence societies of the British navy
And when read this appeal of Ger
many's emperor to the young men OF
that country to be strong for war
asked myself: May we not appeal tC
the young men of this country to alb
stain from the use of alcohol, that
their brains may be clear and theil
nerves steady for the battles of peace
and progress that lie before u.s."
