NEW OFFICERS FOR
STATE HOSPITAL NO. 4

The Board Of Managers of State
Hospital No. /, with the three new
members appointed by Governor
Major, met last Monday and pro-
ceeded 20 organize by electing G. r..
Pratt Of Flat River as president of
the board. Tie board confirmed the
following selections of Governor
Ma jor for the several officers of the
institution:
Superintendent, Or. q, T.. Scrutch-
field of Marshall
Assistant Physicians, DR., +. L..
Long Of DeSoto, formerly associ.
ated with the Hospital under DIR.
kuhn's and DR.. Harrison's admin
istrations, and DR.. w. q. Patten,
recently OF Thayer, who was elected
by the board II short time since.
Steward, Judge J $. Clay OF Farm
ington
Treasurer, MIR. John Ii. Jones of
Pennington.
Matron, Mrs. Gray, a former ma
tron of the institution.
The board failed to agree upon a
man for Secretary, a hitch coming
between the selection OF Editor
zoellner of the Perryville Sun and a
MIR. Hunter, son of Judge Hunter
of Marble Hin. AS the Governors
"slate" all went through with this
exception, Mr.. Zoellner being the
reputed favorite OF the Governor,
we don't see how the dead lock
came about, unless Mr.. MeMinn,
the member from Marble Hill, con-
cluded to defy instructions and try
TO put in his tOwnsman.
The selection of Secretary was
laid over till the next meeting of the
board, which adjourned to meet in
two weeks to take up some matters
In connection with the reconstruc-
tion OF the administrative building
and appropriations made for other
improvements.

COUNTY COURT APPRo-
PIRATES 81 900 FORA
COUNTY FARM ADVISER

On April 18th there was farm.
ers meeting in Pennington to hear
Prof. r. 5, Beese of the Missouri
Agricultural College explain the
plans and purposes of the Farm Ad-
wiser movement, and committee
of representative farmers was ap.
pointed at that time to get up petit
tions to the County Court asking
its assistance to get Farm Ad.
wiser for st. Francois county. AS
a result of this movement quite n
delegation of farmers waited upon
the Court last Saturday and pre-.
serted the matter to the Judges.
Their presentation of the adyant-
ages that such an adviser would be
to the agricultural interests of the
county made favorable impress
sion upon the Court.
The minimum salary Of County
Adviser is $1,000. or this the
United States Agricultural Depart.
ment agrees to pay $500 and the
Agricultural Department of the
State University $500 to counties
where the County Courts appropri-
ate $1,000 for the same purpose. The
delegation waiting upon the Court
pledged itself to raise another 800
by subscription for incidental and
necessary expenses that may arise
In carrying on the work of an Ad.
wiser. Upon this showing the Court
made an appropriation of 81, 900 con-
ditional upon the facts set forth
above.
There will doubtless be some op-
position at the outset to this enter
prise, for there are many farmers
who do not understand the duties of
an Adviser or how they may be
benefited by his advice and help;
but many Of our most successful
aud. progressive farmers are en-
Enthusiastically In favor of IL. II NAV
he said that In those counties that
have employed County Advisers.
farmers who at first questioned the
advisability and practicability of the
plan, have been converted and are
among Its warmest supporters. IL
is not the province of the Adviser
to interfere with any farmers
method OF conducting his business,
but when trouble arises on the farm
among the stock or in the fields for
which the farmer cannot account or
does not know just how to remedy,
the adviser when called on will give
that particular trouble his attention;
and enough of such cases arise to
Keep him too busy to be "butting inn
where his services are not asked or
wanted. 1t is said that IN Cape
Hirardeau county thousands of dol
lars have been saved to the farmers
by that county's Farm Adviser I'm
the one matter OF stamping out hog
cholera alone.
The Farm Advisers are men OF
practical knowledge of all matters
pertaining to the farm--the feeding
OF stock, growing of grain, diseases
among stock, insects that prey up
on crops, ETC., and are selected and
recommended by committee from
the U. $. Agricultural Department,
the State Agricultural College and
the County Court OF the county
where each one is-to serve, or some
one selected by the Court to act for
IL. The next move is the selecting
and securing OF an Adviser for this
county.

I'd INFORMATION FILED
AGAINST DIR. PREsNELL

Last Monday Prosecuting Attor.
ney Renham filed u second inf0rma-
tion against DR.. W. l.. Presnell In
the Minnie Arnold case of infranti-
eide. The State will attempt to
prove on trial that DIR. Presnell not
only assisted Minnie Arnold IN se-
cretly hiding the child In the woods,
but conseled her up TO the time OF
her arrest
A former charge of manslaughter
In the second degree was filed
against DR.. Presnell, and which has
been set for trial on June I'D. This
information was filed at the Febru-
AIRY term under the criminal aboT-
tion statute, which makes 1t man
slaughter In the second degree to
advise, sell, give or administer any
drugs or medicines for the purpose
of procuring an abortion.
Whether this charge will be dis
missed and the Doctor tried only on
the last Information filed, we are
not advised. The case is attracting
considerable attention because of
the Doctors wide acquaintance
throughout this section of the State
and the prominence and good stand
ing of the Presnell family, and il
would be gratifying, no less to his
family connection than to his friends,
If he can honorably clear himself Of
the serious charge under which he
rests.
