Fish, tho cor dial, sharp and real business man of that best of Mo. roads the North Missouri. Mr. as usual, was deeply engrossed in business, and, of course, faithfully attending to his duty. After a night's travel, iu the stage, wo reached the villiago of Twin Springs, so c.Jed from a pair of never failing sprinftV of pure living water, situated in itn suburbs.

Equal in size and volume, they are a perfect natural wonder. Wo arrived at Fontana at 9 At a. M. Here we met Col. O.

Cha-nute, E. of the Uorder Tcir Railroad. We spent half an hour wi lithe Col. and ho seemed very sanguine that tho road would soon be completed to the State line. At 1.35 we got aboai'd the M.

Mil-Ion, an old acquaintance, of Smith Creek III. Mr. M. has labored many years in the service of his Master and by his firm adhcience to the principles of truth and right, ha made himself a pillar in the church and an ornament to his denomination. May tho remainder of his life be spent In happinessand honorable mentiohllcrc we also met an old friend and genial companion, Dr.

Puts n.i! his mind and powers to his work and the blows ho deals to calomel fall neither lightly nor ineffectual. As the shades of night began to wrap tho earth, we wrapped ourself in one of the elegant berths of a Pullman Pallace Sleeping car. We may say with truth that no work of the kind wohavecver seen can anything like equal these cars for beauty, utility and comfort. Next niorning iruSt.

There appears to be a large supply of cold in the region from which our weather has its rise. While wc were pacing through a cold summer, hopes were, entertai; ed that the autumn brees, would be freighted with warmth und sunshine. Up to the pres- cut, our hopes havo been largely dis- appointef, and wo are seeking protection from artificial heat generators. Since the great gold excitement died away we have had nothing particular" ly exciting except our local elections or rather the canvass preecdiug them. The contest is of such a nature that if drawing out all the of both parlies.

The influence of the daily received uo pecuniary rccompeuco, whatever! ami do not expect any. All wo fte.k in that our friends vill nso their influence to aid in securim: a larger circulation at homo r.iul abroad. Tho larger our circulation, tiio better liluutbdare wo to benefit this country by judicious comments on it's climate, Holland natural resources.

YET ANOTHER.

Wo publish still another ticket for county ofices, entitled "Tho Peoples' Conservative 'licket." Ju view of the importance of the county election this fall, and its influence on our fu ture prosperity, it is to be regretted that tho feelings of tho "Law Or der" men of the count cannot be har monized and one Anti-League licket be agreed upon. Surely tho people of this county Have had enough of Lcnguism. It cannot be possible that any man is so foolish as to wish for a continwanco of tho ecenes of last win ter and this spring acts that have given us an unenviable repuiauon throughout tho land. The county has already suffered too much from the doings of irresponsible parties. Wo have lost nearly the entire year's imi- tfration.

rants have fettled cast- of us, in Missouri west of us, in La betto and Montgomery couuties, and north of us; but liavo bceu deterred on account of the Neutral Land trou bles, irom locating with us. let we have the finest country in the South west, and every characteristic of cli mate, soil, water, timber and natural facilities to attract emigration. lad the Railroad Company been permitted to go on with their work unmolested, this county would have been wealthier to-day. The Company would Jiavo disbursed nearly that. amount in tho construction of the road and would have attracted emigration and capital more than sufficient to mnko up the residue.

If the Leigue ticket is elected, this fall, the people of this county endorse their actions of lastwintcr, encourage them to repeat them, and prefer a state of anarchy, confusion and unsettled development. to peace, quiet and rapid progress. Let us hope that these minor di.Tcr- onces among tho "Law Order Men" in regard to who shall run on their ticket, will bo amicably adjusted. Then the choice will be direct between law and anarchy, order and disorder, progress and retrogration, and there can bo up doubt as to tho sentiment of the people in such contest PEOPLE'S CONSERVATIVE TICKET, For Representative, Mr. ITodgins, Lola Township for Sheriff, O.

'For about ten days puvt we have lia a most unprecedented number of inur tiers and lohuenus. Ut the Jornn'r there has been an a vcVuge of one a day, and the latter appear to come in like a Hood. One audacious villain, who is wonderfully expert in obtainiau jew elry, coolly returns his plunder and takes in exchange filtv nor cent, of its value in money.

'recently wrote a polite note to a lady, demanding 1('0 for the jewehy 'ho had stolen. After an arrangement had 'been 'made by moans of "personal" advertisements in tho city papers, he'called, compliment ed heron the beauty of her jawcls, do livcred them up, took tho 100, and bowed himself out. Very prominent amongthe great po litical questions to which our eiiiens aro turning their is that of free trade. For two evenings last week there was a spirited discussion of the subject here, between Mr. Ulan chard, of Indianapolis, and-Mr.

St oh. bins, of Detroit. Tho large attendance shows conclusively tho growing inter, est in the subject. Th Woman question meets our pub lie men of ail classes at every point-Tha managers of the Chicago Mediea-College are having a delui to over he propriety of admitting women to the institution. Some oppose making I lie concession in the most determined maimer, while others acknowledge themselves in perfect accord with the progressive movement.

As the feaves disappear from the trees, the various tourists anj with them our Chicago artists, begin to make their appearance. We never feej that there is any danger of our city receding from its con'jmercial position but siie has not ye'attaincd so lofty ji one iu the line oits, and as a consc-j quence wo aro under the necessity of looking more closely after this tender plant. There arc a goodly number of professors in the city, and their work by no means secondary. Some time ago principle was announced in connection with tire insur ance which was scouted by old underwriters but it has since been proved ot only successful, but the only proper plan for large companies to follow. The core of the the theory is, that leading men at each agency or branch should havo a financial interest in the Company.

The plan adopted is to sell a amonnt of stock in each city or town where there is to be ft branch, and ajjv the local stockhold. ers to choose their own agent, and have a director to tho general board for ev cry ol stock. This plan protects the company's business at the branches, and makes whaf is to all intents and purposes, a. local company, perfectly 6ound and reliable. The whola organization is under the central board, end sufficiently compact for safety and success.
