Binder twine manufactured in the Missouri penitentiary will be put on sale this year. This twine will be sold at 10 cents a pound; the same article sold by trusts is sold for from 12 1-2 to 14 cents. ' Representative Hains, of Saline, was one of the advocates of the law creating the plant at the penitentiary, and to him is due much of the credit for its enactment. Quite a sum will be saved by the farmers of Missou ri in the item of binder twine this year, and still more will be saved when the plant at the peni tcntiary has been brought up to its full capacity.

Prof. Mantovani, one of the first authorities on earthquakes in Europe, who foresaw, weeks beforehand, the Martinique dis aster, writes to the Globe Demo crat correspondent: "Early May will unquestiona bly be marked by violent volcan ic eruptions in various parts of the globe, particularly in the An tilles, Martinique, Japan, the Mediterranean and Central Ainer ica. These eruptions will be due to a common cause, planetary di lation. The peninsula of Hindu stan has suffered a slight east ward deviation, which has caused cracks and displacements in oth er weak points of the earth's crust, with the natural conse quence of volcanic eruptions." In a paper read before the acad einy of Science, by the head of the Sarbonne geological depart ment, it was predicted that the recent slight volcanic activity would prove a mere prelude to a summer of tremendous disturb ances in the planet's crust. This paper lays the blame on the un usually strong action on the earth of the sun spots, which are now the object of special study by the Par is observatory.

The laws of the land should be obeyed by all good citizens with out the paosonco of an officer, simply because it is a law, und all such do obey it. Wherever the presence of an officer is required in the enforcement of a law it in dicates there is an incipient re bellion on hand and force is re quired to suppress it, whether the rebels be one or many. This brings out the question of the justice of the law. This the courts have to decide. They us ually all acquiese. Compulsory Kchool Attendance. Missouri will have compulsory school attendance law after June lGth. It will increase the aver age enrollment in the state flat ten per cent and the average at tendance twenty per cent if school boards enforce the law. It is now up to the people to make more and better provision in room and teaching force. The essential features of tho law are as follows: Every child between 8 and 11 shall attend regularly some day school not less than half the time the school is in session. Every child between 14 and 10 who is not actually, regularly and lawfully employed shall attend school. A child may be temporarily ex cused by a court having compe tent jurisdiction from attending school on account of mental or physical incapacity; if parent or guardian is unable to provide proper clothing: if there is no school within two and one-half miles of the residence; if the child lias already completed the common school course; if the la bor of the child is absolutely nec essary to support the family. Any parent or guardian who violates the provisions of the law is guilty of misdemeanor and is subject to both line and impris-; onment. i The enforcement of the law de-! volves on school boards. In; cities of three thousand popula-' tion and more, they may appoint . truant officers to enforce the law . and pay such officers out of school funds. i No child between t and 11 shall be employed in mine, fac-; tory, workshop or mercantile es-1 tablishment unless such child' has complied with all the require-; ments regarding attendance,! excuses, etc. j Any person who employs a child between b and It without' securing certificate from s ho authorities that said child has! complied with the law, is guilty of misdemeanor and subject to a. fine of fifty dollars and ots. j In cities having a population of lO.WOor more, the school loard' are authorized to establish and ' maintain one or more ungraded! truant or parental schools for, the education of children who art habitual truants or who arc1 incorrigible, vicious or immoral.; School boards shall publish or post notices of the provisions of this law just before the opening: ot school each year. i Members of school hoards and j U regularly appointed truant offi cers may arrest any chad not legally excused from attending sclaiol and put the child in some day school that may be selected by parent or guardian. Incase parent or guardian makes no choice, then in the. public school of the district. Although the law requires at tendance of only half the time, no child can Is; excused from at tendance on that account until he has complied with t lie law. In other words, a child can not be excused from attending the first half of the term on condition that te attend the list hdf, but he may Is' excused from attending when he has complied witli the hw by ettccdiuyliJlfcf tLeUTiu. Samuel li. Smith, one of the pioneers and most highly es teemed fit izens of Cedar county, died at his home In llldorado Springs, April i I'M, in tho To" year of his age, after an illness extending over some months, so we learn from the Kldorado Springs News. We first met Samuel L. Smith hi HHH) during the campaign of that year, and again last May during the memo rial day services. Ho impressed the w riter as a thoroughly hon est man of unimpeachable chris tian integrity and far beyond the average in moral force, always for the right. He told us the last time we saw him that his health was not good and he did not expect to be here much long er. He was a large man physic ally, and we took him to be the same in heart and mind. A good man has gone to his reward. His death is a loss to the community, but his intiuence and example w ill live many years after him. The universal testimony of all who knew him will be that Sam uel Ij. Smith was a good man, one of God's noblemen. Spanlsh-Americai) Veterans.
