While officia! proclama- tion by President Monroe, declaring the fact that the admission of Mis- souri was complete, came August 10, 41821. According Manual, Benton's first term was from October 2, 1820, to March 3, 1827, or six years, six months and ene day. Senator Cockreli’s reply shows the official record of the steps taken for Missouri's admission, June t, 1812, the act which changed the name of the territory from Louisiana to Missouri, and prescribing the form of territorial government, was approyed, and the act authorizing the people of Missouri to form a constitution and state government, “and prohibiting slavery in certain territories,” was approved March 6, 1820. This resolution establishes the fact that August 10, 1821, was the date of admission. After stating the sonditions of the great “Missouri corapromise,” it was provided “that the legislature of the said state, by a solemn public act, shall declare the assent of the said state to the said fundamental condition, and shall transmit to the president of the Un- ited States, on or before the fourth Monday in November next, an au- thentic copy of the said act, upon receipt whereof the president, by proclamation, should announce the fact; whereupon, and without further proceedings on the part of congress, the admission of the said state into the union shall be considered as eomplete.” Approved March 2,1821. The Missouri legislature passed the act conforming to this condition June 26, 1821, and the president's proclamation followed August 10 of the same year. Benton was sworn in December 6 and Barton December 3. TALKING OF HIGHER PRICES. Conjectures of Stockmen as to Wheih- er They Will Stay <. C. Times. Those doing business at the Stock Yards have now a topic for consid eration, and one which has been | zommented upon quite freely the past three days. It is nothing more nor less than the bulge in the price of fat cattle. With $465 the “top” on Wednesday, and $4.80 paid on Thursday for 1,686 pound steers,and $4.65 the next highest figure on the same day for steers averaging 1,393, pounds, there is cause for conjecture as to whether the advance has come to stay for awhile, or whether the clouds have rolled away for but a few days. Knowing ones think there will be a good market for fat cattle for some time to come, partic- ularly for heavy steers, which are in light supply in the country tributary Grass cattle sold also very well yes- terday. George G. Walker of San Saba county, Texas, shipped in from the Ponca reservation a bunch of strictly grass cattle, which had been grazing there. Twenty-nine steers, averaging 844 pounds, sold at $2.80; 100 cows, 661 pounds, $2.05, while twenty-five veal calves brought $6 each. Awhile. Captain W. M. Huret has returned to the Congressional | } year he purchased another herd for $53,000, and before twelve months had passed sold $16,000 worth of beef. In the fall of 1882 he refused $175,000 for the two herds. Anoth- er friend of mine purchased a herd of cattle ia 1881 for 000, and in 1886 cffered $400,000, but would not sell, but after the boom subsided sold out for $99,000. The first party referred to, who refused $175,000, sold at last for what he originally paid. was Senator Peffer’s Price. Senator Peffer of Kansas, did the best he could to serve his son's em- ployers, the sugar company. He voted with the republicans on every proposition put forward by them, and when all their plans failed he came forward with a mock measure of his own. His amendment was to put sugar on the free list. He doesn’t want sugar on the free list, but hoped that such an amendment would prevail, and the result might have defeated the bill and continued the robber bounty for two years longer. Aside from the company which employs his son and one other su- gar company, DO Man, Woman or child in the state which Mr. Peffer represents derives the least advan tage from the bounty on sugar. But every man, woman and child in the state of Kansas contributes to the revenues of the government which are diverted from the consti- tutional purpose for which they were collected and are appropriated to pay this bounty, which, if con tinued to the close of the present year, will amount to something like $20,000,000 in round figures. That is a good deal for the peo ple of Kansas to pay in order that Senator Peffer and his whiskers may keep his boy in employment. It would be cheaper to put the boy in jan asylum for feeble minded youths jand the senator in any convenient corrective institution, suitable for men who violate their oaths of office for a consideration. The people of Kansas are not always wise, but as a rule they are honest, and this little | episode in the hfe of their senator is an imputation on the integrity of the state.—Kansas City Times. Bills Introduced This Season. Washington, D. C, June There have been fewer bills intro | duced in the house this session up to the first of the present month than for a number of congresses. On the first of June 7359 bills have been introduced and of the number have been reported and are now on the calender. At the same time during the first session of the fifty- second congress the number of bills introduced was 9088. and of the bills reported the number was 1539. High-water mark was reached dur- ing the same period of the fifty first congress, when the number of intro- duced bills was swollen to 10,695 of which 2,270 were reported. An analysis of the figures shows that the number of bills reported, as com- pared with the whole number in- troduced has steadily decreased. In the fifty-first congress the ratio was one to five. In the fifty-second con gress the ratio fell off to one to six, and in the present congress it is one from his Y ranch, seventy-five miles|to seven. Of the bills favorably re- from Magdalena, N.

C., June 6.—The secretary of the treasury received from Chicago parties an offer of 31,000,000 in gold, provided it isac cepted a3 received by the holders and lawful money is deposited there for in New York. The offer was de clined. This offer reminds all treasury of- ficials of another offer of similar character once made by western partic; and accepted. No sooner was the gold accepted and the treas ury notes and greenbacks deposited Mm New York to the credit of the parti nan they turued them over to the sub treasury in New York and demanded gold. The scheme was to save express charges on tke go!d from the west to New York. Assoon as this fact was developed, however, the scheme was fiustrated. But by terms of to- day's offer the government would have torun the risk of receiving short weight gold. No North, No South. Wiih the democratic party of Bates county there should be no north or south side of the river nor sectionalism whatever, either before or after the make up of the ticket. Heretofore south of the river has held her own and more, in the nom- inating conventions and the gentle- men on the south have received the solid and enthusiastic support of the party from the north part of the county. Two years ago south of the river captured recorder, treasurer, coroner, presiding judge and only by scratch lost the sheriff. We heard no kick from democrats up here on account of unfairness in the distri- bution of the ticket and the result of the convention was graciously ac espted and the nominees loyally supported. This year circumstances changed the program somewhat and our south of the river friends, espec- ially at Rich Hill, should cease their mouthings because they did not se- eure all they wanted. As to the nominees no objection can be raised, and we are sure the Rich Hill demo- crats will not be’ satified to reduce their reprensentation. But, on the contrary, on election day they will pull of their coats, spit on their hands and work as they have done before for the success of the party. The Plattsburg Jeffersonian tells of a boy in that city who was born the 13th day of March, his father on the 13th day of April; his grandfath er was borne on the 13th day of May his great grandfather on the 13th day of June. When his father and mother were married they weighed 213 and 113 respectively and they had been married one year and thir- teen days when a boy was born, he is the thirteenth grandchild of his grandfather and when one month old weighed thirteen pounds, and his father is thirteen years older than | his mother. And this boy is Chas-; tian Grant Harrel. mies gather around, when sickness falls upon the earth, when all the world is dark and cheerless, is the time to try true friendship. The heart that has been touched with pure gold will redouble its efforts when friends are sad and in trouble. Adversity tries true friendship. They who run from the scenes of distress betray their hypocrisy and prove that interest only moves them. —Ex. on congress itis estimated that Jobn | Western Coal and Mini Wansas Miners at Work.
