Tlio receipts from the sale of Missouri’s surplus poultry and eggs last year were £17,000 greater than tho receipts from the state’s surplus crops of corn, wheat, oats, timothy, llax seed, clover seed, millet seed, cotton seod, castor beans, tobacco, broom corn, hay and straw. The acts of tho Legislature are all in typo, proof has boen read tho first time and the index is about half made. Daniel Storms, Secretary of State, thinks tho proclamation of tho Governor, declaring the acts published, can be issued nbout May 1. Two years ngo the proclamation was issued May 15. The anti-saloon people have succeeded in blnnkot-remonstra-ting the saloons from Ambia, Henton, county—or have, rather, a sufficient number of remonstrators to defeat all future applicants. Tho Fowler Leader says Ambia has long boen noted as a whiskey stronghold, and the number of signers to the power-of-attorney remonstrance came as a surprise to the advocates of temperance. The temperance people are working with good success in other sections of the county, and the tho remark of a Fowler saloonist, that in a year’s time there would not be a saloon in Benton county, seems likely to prove a reality. During the year of 11)02, two men in America were killed in prize tights, Hnd in a season of three months just passed, twentyone men have been killed playing football. Fifteen of these died from broken necks or broken backs. How many men have been ruptured and permanently injured in various other ways no j man can I know, snys Elbert Hubbard, in the March Cosmopolitan, that two young men with whom I am personally acquainted are now in lunatic asylums as a result of football, and their ravings are the cries ami signals of this game Ts yog still think that football [is manly sport, you might interview’* the parents rtf ! these young men. , . \ . ! - The decision of tho Anthracite Coal Strike Commission has just been made public and will doubtless be regarded£ns a victory for the miners, not only in that it awards to them tho increase in wages for which they originally struck, but in that it refutes tho economic propositions advanced by President*Baer and other mino operators. On this subject the Commission says, “Undoubtedly the proposition that men who own property and carry on the business must control it is generally true and its maintenance is necessary to the political and econom ical welfare of society; but it is also true that where a business is of Such magnitude and its physical conditi us are such as to constitute a n:t’. iral monopoly, it is affected with a public interest which cannot bo ignored by those who control it.’’ While submitting that they do not feel authorized. under existing conditions, to advocate compulsory arbitration the commissioners recommend a law proposed by Charles F. Adams which provides for federal timo of extensive

conflicts between employers and employees. The specific awards of the Commission, by which both operators and miners are bound, give to the latter a general 10 per cent increase in wages beginning with April 1003. Men employed nino hours are to bo paid on a ton hour basis and provision is made for an increase in wages of 1 per cent for every 5 cent increase in the wholesale price of coal, abgvo $4.50 per tori for pea coal. Tho average price of coal is to bo determined by a commissioner appointed by a United States Circuit Judge and paid by tho operators. Tho miners are permitted all the check-weighers they may demand but they ar"e to bo paid at the miners expense. Any increase in the sizo of a miner’s cars is to be mot with a proportionate increase in wages. It is further provided that all disputes arising during the period fop-which tho Commission makes its awards, shall be adjudicated by a “joint conciliatory committoo” to consist of six members, three to bo appointed by the operators and three by the miners. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached by this evenly divided committee, tho committeo shall select a seventh member who shall cast the deciding voto. No discrimination shall bo nmdo against union or nonunion miners and all awards shall stand until March 31, 11)06.

ADVERTISING AS A PUBLIC CRITERION. lie was very sage who said that if he could examine the newspapers of a locality he could immediately tell what the character of that locality is. And what would he judge by? The newspapers’ advertising, the publicity methods pursued by the merchants of the city as an indication of their progressive spirit, and the artistic taste displayed in the advertisments as evidence of the up-to-date taste of the newspaper. They are the criterion whereby the ambitions and achievements of a corporate municipality may be estimated. Bear this in mind. Remember that the use of The Democrat and the way you use it, are photography to all the rest of the county, besides being directly profitable to you if you persist in using its columns regularly.

Well, Abo lias tried both White county and Newton county and been whipped completely in both counties. Is it not about time for his brother commissioners and the taxpayers to shut down on this expensive horso-playV This fol-de-rol of Marshall’s about the county council’s-having mode n specific appropriation of only SSO to print the ballots for the Inst election, is false, and Marshall, if he knows anything nt nil—which we seriously doubt Sometimes from his silly vaporings knows it did nothing of the kind. t \s A matter of fact it made no specific appropriation for billlots at all, and Abe and his cohorts falling back on this twaddle is amusing. But, ns a matter of fact, it made not the slightest difference whether it did m did tlot make an npproprintinn for this purpose or whether the appropriation was sufficient or not, the election must have been held, the ballots were necessary and the printer was entitled to a reasonable price forpriutiug them.

Thunder Mountain. Reporta from the New Thunder Mountain Gold Fields grow steadily better. There will undoubtedly be a great rush into the district this year. Last year the news concerning the new discoveries of free-milling ore had only bogun to leak out and before October more than 20,000 claims were filed. From every quarter there will bo people going to Thunder Mountain, and all will want reliable information as too the best route and how soon tho trail will be open. Many who cannot go will want to invest in a good property there, and tho time to do that is now whan raonoy is needed for mine equipment The Thunder Mountain Gold Mining and Milling Company has a splendid property of 120 acres, across which there is a tremendous vein of free-milling ore 30 feet wide and running right into Rainbow Peak. Mr. Charles J. Perkins, General Manager of the Company, spent all last summer In the district He is now at the Company's eastern offices in New York, whore ha will remain until some time in May purchasing equipment and describing the property to all who wish to buy ahum He also pissesses full information regarding tho district and makes it a point to answer all questions about it, without charge, so that all who are interested may write and get this information free and at first hand. The Company, which Mr. Perkins represents made its first public offering of stock in J anuarv, and so many subscriptions have been received that a great deal of the equipment for the mine has t*M-n purchased and prepared for shipment as soon as the way Ls opened for travel. It is estimated that fully three millions of dollars of machinery and equipment is now on the way to Thunder Mountain for various companies. One of the companies sold stock a year ago at 60 cents a share and now it is not to be bought for SB.OO per share. Thirty' other mines are opened and are getting into richer ore every day. Tho property which this Company own* is second to none in tho district, and the more one learns about it and its officers the greater the desire becomes to own some of its stock. For information regarding it, price of shares, etc., write to THUNDER MOUNTAIN CONSOLIDATED 00LD MININQ AND MILLINd COMPANY, New York LUe Building, New York City. It Saved His Leg. P. A.
