Imperial Missouri, with her more than fourty-four millions of acres of tertile lands, capable of producing co-oper- leverything required for the susten- lance and comfort of enlightened mankind; her immensely rich and progressive, energetic people and capable of eustaining twiceas many more—our beloved State possesses more natural advantages than avy of her sister States and the eyes of the commercial world are being attract- ed by the possibilities of our de | velopments. The vast territory that this expo sition represents—the west, north- west and southwest—in the natural and workshops; and we are convine in America afforded so favorable an opportunity as the present one for advertiseing to the whole cial world the varied and matchless resources of our State. And we earnestly appeal 40 the pride of every State loving, pro gressive citizem to aid your State commission jin its efforts to provide for a creditable exhibit of your in terests. Our neighboring States are exerting all of their energies to excel. in the extent and excellence of our exhibits if proper efforts are put forth. We must do this—its results will redound to the benefit of every citizen. Your commission, having confidence in your patriotism and State pride, solicits your assistance. Having no State appropriation, we must de- pend upon voluntary contributions to defray necessary expenses. We want to erect a creditable State building as a home and a meeting place for the thousands of Missourians who will visit the expo- sition. Our sister States are provid- ing auch buildings, and we cannot afford to do lesa. We hope to make the finest exhibit of fruits ever seen in America; to cellect and place on exhibition meritorious products of our farms, forests, mines and factor- ies, allof which will require movey to pay expenses. We appeal to every farmer and artisan, every business and profes3- ional man, to immediately send to the treasurer of the commission, Continental National bank, St. Louis whatever sum you can afford. You will ba giyen public credit, and the strictly accounted for. Every board of trade and commercial organization throughout the State is urgently requested toimmediately extend sub stantial aid. The time is short and we must hasten the work.

But Prose-| cuting Attorney Pilgrim and Cowan and Morrison by hard work finally pursuaded the Judge to call court to try two fellows who got into trouble over the sale of acow. The case hac just got started, when the Judg arose from his chair, stopped the trial and said he had decided to fix a day and let them fight itout; the one that whips to take the cow.
