It is mainly because they have been attracted by the highly colored illustrated hand-bills depicting in extravagant language the advantages of Mexico, the "Paradise of America" and unless they sieze ih . golden opportunity which is theirs under tempting offers, they will miss the chance of a lifetime. They do not know that these same hand-bills are manufactured whole sale by unscrupulous land agents in Mexico who employ local agents in every country town in the Unit ed States and many of these would at once resign their commission if tney only knew the kind they are serving under. As an illustration, a smooth talk ing man or woman locates an ex pected victim and succeeds in get ting him to sell out what has taken him and wife a generation more or less to accumulate and invest in an uncertainty in the land of sun shine where all fruits grow all the year round and very little exper ience in his "new home"? makes him long for the time when he can get back to the United States and start all over again, and what ap plies to Mexico is the same in all the Latin Republics, S. A. More to follow. Yours sincerely, One who has "lived" there Monroe City. April 12. 1909. Good Friday morning at St. Jude church during the hour of divine service, Mrs. Alfred Jaeger, Jr., proved herself a heroine by enter ing the boiler room in the face of almost blinding steam and checked the draught of the furnace which had become somewhat out of order. The action of this brave young woman prevented a very serious catastrophe to the human lives in peril in the church. One door west Monroe City Bank.

Supervision of St. Louis Univer sity, the control of which for ninety years has reposed in a Board of Directors of the Society of Jesus, last night was transferred to an ad visory board, composed of laymen, some of whom are not Catholics. This change in the policy of the university is the first move of its sort in the history of Jesuit educa tional institutions in the United States, and, in view of the conserv ative principles of the Order and its strict adherence to the Jesuit edu cational constitution, many centu ries old, is regarded as an innova tion of particular importance. Two Horses. The observed of all observers on South Main street Saturday after noon was Jack and Bob McDonald, Buckman Bros, stallions, that had just returned victorious from the Ft. Worth. Texas, horse show, where they took the blue ribbons in the saddle and harness rings. Hundreds of people watched them the half hour they were on the streets, for their sleek coats, per fect forms, in fact grace in motion, would have attracted general at tention at the Derby in England. They were sired by the same horse, their dams are half sisters and they are a black and sorrel. It is a question if two more like them could be found in this state or Kentucky. With a sigh, J. B. Schott of Chi cago, paid the beauties this com pliment: "If one wants to see lovely women or perfeet horses, they must come to Missouri." John Wood, of Hook & Wood, with a state and inter-state reputa tion as a rider has no more easy, graceful seat in the saddle than has Charlie Buckman. It was those two gentlemen who were riding the horses. Interurban. T. J. Crane and William Suit, of near Philadelphia, were in the city Saturday afternoon and too full of the interurban, to be built between Kirksville and Hannibal via Philadelphia, to talk anything but the road that is sure to be built. They say: Our share of the mon ey is raised and it will be all along the line and Palmyra must come up, for Western Marion is tired of being milked. Built, you bet and in operation in two or less than two years time. Grade and rails to be the same as the Burlington. Oth ers, yes. Bethel and all along the line just as anxious as we are. It's a go now and nothing will hold it up. We were glad to find them feel ing good, talking good of their sec tion and having nerve enough to say some one else must at least do something besides saying, "gim me, gim me Big Fine Upheld. St. Louis. April 12. The United States supreme court in Washing ton, this afternoon, administered a crushing blow to the efforts of the Waters-Pierce Oil company of St. Louis to evade payment of a $1,- 623.000 fine imposed by the Texas courts for three violations of the state's anti-trust laws. Kemp. William C. Kemp, 83 years old, one of Palmyra's oldest and most highly respected citizens, passed away in St. Joseph Sunday. Mr. Kemp was the father of William Kemp who was foreman of this office for two years. Cement Blocks Evan Smith,
