ERA OF THE Morgan County, the Old Home of Missouri's Lead and Zinc Industry. CLAY AND FULLER'S EARTH. A County Which Has Xo Poor Land and Where All Staple Crops Attain Their High est Excellence. Br A STAFF CORRE8P0NDBNT. VerBaiUea. Mo.. Sept. 35. Here is a coun ty of the irreai Southwest which is much like the old woman in the shoe, except that instead of too many children Mor gan County has too much land. The old woman had some bad children, as is evi denced by the whipping!. Morgan County has no poor land. Every acre of the u6.3u0 within the county is good for eomethlne. but the price for the best is not more than JiO. Of all the Impressive features of this fc-art of Missouri county, the most strik ing and the most unexplatnablo Is the unreasonable cheapness of the laud. Tim ber lands which supply raw materials for woodworking plant In abundance; Im mense beds of the finest clay, which are believed to be inexhaustible; prairies and range country which iutains great herds of live ttock and prepares them for mar ket m Uncut the usual process of flrjj'hins on corn feed; agricultural tract, which are giving forth enormous crops of sraln and fruits; the whole underlaid with bedn of coal, lead and aluc. Thie are tome of the resources of this MorKan County land which is going at from J hi to $. per acre. The beat explanation is given by the honest real estate men. who say that it is (.Imply a question of supply and demand. Practically without railway facilities un til a year axo and cut off from all mar kets bicauio! of Its inaccessibility. ta products of the county have never lice:i developed. Few granger and hoinesarkers visited Veraalliea and the other toann. and there was no attraction held out to induce the prosjective buyer to come and 5-e. The population ax It exLited In th.i preratlroad days was ?atlslcl with Its lot. The etolld Germans In their section of the county vr making a i-mfcrtul.Ii i;-ne; the Dunkards and Mennonite. v.h" make up quite an .Iemcnt of the conimu r.ltif. ware dwlling in jM-aceful quiet, and the outside world knew nothing of the pos sibilities which woru t hand.

The an-akeuing Is lc. th.ui a year l-aik. but It h.is I.tn s.ure. Morran '"ounty as a whole and Ver sailles in particular are Just N-ginning to reallxe their value to th- rest of .-ivilua- j tlon. With the Ineiplftit d-ve!opment of i sonio of their gr-at resources tli-y are j anxioux to make Mill more strenuous n- ' dehiors to cet in the public ey and mind, and to get nearer the beaten path which ii taking homcaeeker across th Missouri Ur. to othr sections of th Southwest, no rrorw fertile, no more prolific and no more attractive as a bulnes proposition.

Sept. 3--Presideat Jchn A. alcCail of the New York Ufe In 4b surance Company to-day sent out a circular letter to all agents of the com d paur. In which ho said' that henceforth no more contributions would be given d to any political party. 4 In his letter Mr. McCaU repeats part of the testimony he furnished the d Legislative Investigating Committee now in session htre. and Justified his 4 action In contributing to former" Republican campaign funds on the ground d that it was to protect the gold standard of currency, which was endangered. In conclusion Mr. -McCall says: d "Now. as to the future, the gold standard haa been irrevocably adopted. d Therefore the question of similar contributions cannot arise again during this d or any subsequenteadmlnlstratlon of the New York Ufe. d "However, In order definitely to express and fix the company's position. I d shall ask the Board of Trustees at Its next regular meeting to pass a resolu- tiou which will make It clear to every policy holder and to the public that d the Xew York Life will never contribute to any political organization, for d any purpose whatever." New YorS. Sept. 3. Several sensational Incidenu developed at the session of the legislative Committee on Life Insurance In ves ligation 'to-day. The first xa when George W.

Says Ktport of Portor Warne Wax a Practical Contiriiiation That Thire Was Merit in Her Work. Mr. Josle K.

If the board refuses to reverse tlie ver dict sh,. Wi aKain iij irf.il her cause to the Delegate Conientluti tn body, and if the convention refuses to decide in hwr favor she will take out a State charter und proeee-d Independently. She and the Reverend Doctor Stewart are much provok.il at the action of the National Association and at the It- verend Thomas Grlmshaw of the Fine Street Temple. Mrs. Folsom il.t-larwl that he wa Jealous of her powers. She also laid givat stress on the action of Doctor George It. Warm-, who wrote the decision for the association. In dis cussing the muter ho displayed it ver batim report of the trial at Howard's Hall, in which Doctor Warne says: "The committee- placed upon tlie table thirty cards, which were etiuby one of its members; four shcts of cnnllmard. marked for Identification. These crirdi were nuirk-d la such a way that there can be no doubt but wliat these are the cards furnished by the committee.

In the minds of Mrs. PoNom and the Reverend Doctor Stewart this statement of Doctor Warne was- practically a con fession that there was something of genu ine mediums hip in Mrs. Pt-Lsom's exhibi tions.

OLD FEl'D WITH GOULDS. It Is a matter of history that Mr. Keene and the late Jhv ;oj!d engageil In a bit ter speculative .-ar. the upshot of which was that James It. Keene lost Jii fortune and even cherished portions of his private possessions. Including valuable paintings) bv Cnrot and other masters. Mr. Ke'-ne's present support of -Sir. Ram sey as against George J. Gould, however, is aicrtf-ed to different motives, of a flnan- ci.il. not personal, nature. The announcement that Keene was aid ing ltarney in his efforts to oust Gould fr.im the Wabash readily recalled to old timers In Wall street the adx-ent of James It. K.ene In New York.
