Fight for a Bane Fourth.
An organisation fight to prevent th
sale and discharge of danr.oroul explo
sives during the fourth of July period
and to bring about a sane celebration
of Independence day, was begun at
a mass meeting In St. Iuls. A com
mittee was appointed to meet early
next week to bring about concerted
action for a sane Fourth. Archbishop
Glennon made a strong plea for more
sensible celebration of the signing ol
the Declaration of Independence. He
Jocularly said It seemed that a return
to barbarism was the only explana
tion of the apparent love for carnage
and noise. He strongly urged nulled
action and suggested to give the day
a religious turn to make It more
sacred. Ho centered his argument on
the lack of reason for the present
methods. "What relation there Is,"
he said, "between the exploding of
fire crackers and the celebr.it Inn of In
dependence I can not see. There Is no
evidence cf patriotism In the fire of
guns an.l giant crackers or in the an
nua! crop of tetanus victims. The cele
!rator Is not a hero if be escapes, be
cause he mii.t run to escape, and he Is
not a hero If he gi'ts tetanus. The
day should be a time for tbe bringing
in of the letter truths."
She Wanted a State Office.
UnMl the laws of Missouri are
e'.ang.d a woman cannot hold a state

retary of the Kansas City Socialist
club, wanted to make the race this

didate of the Socialist party was not
filed by Cornelius Roach, secretary of
state. In Jefferson City. An examina
tion cf the law disclosed the require
ment that candidates fcr state offices
be men more than I.I years cid. Miss
Thomson received notice from Jeffer
son City that Ler application for a
place on the Socialist ticket had been
withheld merely bocau-e she was a

named by the Socialist! to fill '.he va
cancy. Miss Thorns iii was nominated
for superintendent of public instruc

KANSAS CITY FIRM INVOLVED
Federal Court Appoints Receivers for
Jones Dry Goods Company
Liabilities f MOO.OCO.
Kansas City, Mo. Judge Philips
n the United males district court ap
pointed Charles Campbell and Henry
U Root rtuelvers for the Joues Dry
Goods company.
The appointment of receivers came
as a surprise, to the general public,
though It had been anticipated fur sev
eral days In financial circles.
The fact that the company had over
loaded In real estate holdings and ex
pensive leases, combined with unsea
sonable weather which retarded the
movement of Its heavily stocked
shelves, conspired for the firm's un
doing. The liabilities are roughly esti
mated at $1. 400,000. and tbe assets at
12.000,000. The receivers say It may
be several days before authentic fig
ures are given. Ilusiness will not be
suspended, at the store. As far as
the buying public Is concerned, there
will be no noticeable difference In the
firm's affairs.
