THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. LINCOLN INSTITUTE COMMENCEMENT. A Brilliant Closing of the Twenty-Sixth Year. Prominent People in Attendance. $1.50 Per Year in Advance. LINCOLN INSTITUTE A Brilliant Closing of the Prominent People Jefferson City, Mo., June 12, 1902. Today ended the twenty-sixth annual commencement at Lincoln Institute, and a most brilliant week. Prominent people from all over the state were in attendance and every exercise was largely attended. The baccalaureate ser mon was preached Sunday at 3 p.m. Pres. E. A. Clarke who delivered an excellent address to the senior class. The annual address to the literary societies was delivered by Mrs. J. Silone Yates of Kansas City. Mrs. Yates is president of the National Association of colored women, and a woman of very scholarly attainments and a writer and speaker of national repute, and her address was in keeping with her ability. Dr. J. J. W. Scott, of Kansas City, was in attendance all the week and preached the annual sermon to the religious societies. The annual declamatory contest was held on Tuesday evening. The winners of the two prizes were: For best oration, Mr. J. D. Bradbury, of Mississippi; and for best declamation, Miss Lulu Parks, of Kansas. President E. L. Scruggs, of Western College, delivered the address to the alumni association on Wednesday evening. The commencement exercises proper were held in Page Auditorium this morning. The largest class in the history of the institution was presented diplomas by Gov. A. M. Dockery. A large crowd attended these exercises; the auditorium was filled to overflowing. The program rendered was a very high classed one and highly appreciated by the hearers. City Notes. Misses Florence Mosley and Eulaee Douglass spent this week in Jefferson City, Mo. Mrs. M. R.

The Board of Regents of Lincoln Institute met here this afternoon and elected Faculty for next year. Much to the surprise of all concerned the Board failed to re elect Prof. E. A. Clarke, who gave entire satisfaction as president of the institution during his short stay of four months. The following compose the Faculty for next year, as elected today: President, B. F. Allen, vice president, J. H. Garnett; mathematics, J. S. Morten; science, S. G. Murray; English, Miss Anna H. Jones; music, Miss C. M. Carney; sewing,Miss M. E. Grimshaw; matron, Mrs. L. C. Anthony. The election of Prof. Allen today makes three presidents and two acting presidents that have been elected to the institution within one year. Much dissatisfaction is in evidence among the students, most of whom are still here, and an indignation meeting is being held on the Lincoln Institute Hill tonight. been ill for sometime, professed a hope in Christ last Monday and was baptised by Rev.

Allen, of Columbia, preached at Red Top last Sunday. Miss Ethel Berry has been quite sick at the home of I. B. Stevinson. A. J. Archer, wife and children spent Sunday afternoon with Columbia friends. Miss Eugie Rothwell, of Centralia, was the guest of Earl Dysart the first of the week. Misses Carrie and Fanny Berry were the guests of Brown's Station friends over Sunday. Mrs. E. E.

Austene and wife went to their home at Rowena Sunday after a couple of days' visit here upon their return from their bridal trip. wanted to employ it. The man says he "couldn't see no suff returns." The band plays very when the bass player and the bonist are not in jail. It is estimated that St. Clairy land will be increased $5 an in value if the prospective co-mise settlement of the contr over the county's railroad indness can be brought about. The creased value of the 441,600 acre county would be nearly 2 million dollars, or about a million than the original cost of the and the accrued interest. Best Binder. The best Binder on earth is the McCormick; there is more of them sold than all other makes combined. If in need of a Binder, see W. E. Rader, who represents the McCormick, and get in your order. june 6-2t Ashland Bugle Notes. Walter Day jumped from an apple tree recently, and the result was a fracture of the right arm below the elbow. At New Liberty Primitive Baptist church west of Ashland, Friday afternoon, the ordinance of foot-washing was observed. Moses L. Cain and Miss Rhoda M. Cain, of Folsom, Callaway county, were married at the M. E. parsonage in this place early last Wednesday morning, May 28, Rev. J. S. Bowles officiating. For nearly twenty years Mrs. Martha Christian has been the faithful teacher of a class in Salem Sunday School. Members of her class at the start, have grown to be young men and young women, and many of them are now influential members of Salem church. Probate Judge Henderson, of St. Louis, was here a week ago to visit Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Lee at their charming country home north of Ashland. While here, Judge Henderson made Lawrence Bass an offer of $30,000 for the latter's 560 acre farm five miles north of this place. It is understood the offer is a standing one. It is conceded that the farm lands surrounding Ashland are the richest and most valuable of any in Boone county. BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by druggists, price 75c. per bottle. Hall's Family Pills are the best. Kansas City Star Notes. In the circuit court at Linneus last week the famous suit of Lon Stephens against Charley Green of the Brookfield Argus, was dismissed by mutual consent at defendant's cost. Hotel arrivals at Excelsior Springs are increasing so rapidly that the Daily Call has difficulty in finding enough capitals with which to print the initials of the different guests. After publishing the names of the Monticello men who went to Canton last Friday to see the Boston Bloomer girls play ball, Editor Hollister of the Lewis County Journal states that he expects to leave town before the paper goes to press. It cost Gus Rowland, of Macon, $5 and costs the other day in Justice Cox's court for disturbing the peace of Edward Smiley. While sitting in his own yard Smiley saw Rowland kiss a girl sitting in a swing. His peace was disturbed in consequence, in a breach of promise suit at Savannah the other day, some rather gushing love letters were about to be read, when Judge Burns stopped the proceedings long enough to remark that if any woman laughed aloud he would fine her the price of a new bonnet. The letters were read in silence. The Sedalia colored band has decided not to go with the circus that wanted to employ it. The manager says he "couldn't see no sufficient returns." The band plays very well when the bass player and the trombonist are not in jail. It is estimated that St. Clair county land will be increased $5 an acre in value if the prospective compromise settlement of the controversy over the county's railroad indebtedness can be brought about. The increased value of the 441,600 acres in the county would be nearly $2 1/4 million dollars, or about a million more than the original cost of the bonds and the accrued interest. FACTS FROM THE FARM What has become of the Boone county Poultry Association? W. L. Boyce, of Hinton, sold to J. M. Batterton last week, 15 yearling steers. The "kattle king" of Boone county, Turner McBain, sold a load of good cattle in St. Louis last week at 7 cts. The egg and poultry kings of Boone county are Powell & Beasley of Columbia, whose shipments average about $500 a week. This means much to the people of Boone county, Centralia Courier.—The Daniel Real estate firm had 17 land buyers here from Illinois and Iowa this week and sold $43,000 worth of real estate. John C. Quarles has sold his young horse, Westmore, to W. A. Bright, and his well known Stallion, Ashmore, to R. B. Minnis, of Carrollton. The poultry fanciers of Audrain, Montgomery and Callaway counties have organized the Tri-County Poultry Association. Those present decided to hold a 3-days show in Mexico in December. J. F. Sanker brought in Monday a sample of his wheat crop which is very fine. He will soon cut 20 acres near Dripping Springs. The crop is both better in quality and larger than last year. From the Paris Appeal.-C. C. Parrish near Holliday, sheared 311 lbs of wool from 35 sheep. From 27 ewes he raised 45 lambs. In his flock is a sheep that in 2 years has brought him 30 pounds of wool and 6 lambs. He sold 3 of her lambs for $15.50 and has 3 left. Quite a profitable animal. On his fine farm east of Columbia N. P. Starke has 30 acres of cowpeas and 5 acres of sugar cane. He finds these splendid feed for mules and cattle. His neighbor, Dr. Dysart is growing cowpeas, also. Kaffir corn is not much grown in Boone county, although a few farmers are experimenting with it, among these is Prof. D. W. B. Kurtz. Secretary Hatton tells us that the Columbia Fair Association has spent $300 this spring improving the track at the fair grounds, and expects to make still further improvements. Enough good races and show rings have been programmed to insure plenty of entertainment of this kind. Something new this year will be the Angora goat show. A certain young man whom we know took his disk harrow and went with it the length of his farm on the public highway just after the mud had dried up this spring and smoothed down the hubs and filled up the deep ruts. It did not take him very long, only one mile of travel, and every traveler had a good word to say of him for long after.—Centralia Courier. "I didn't know there was that much wool in Boone county," remarked a citizen last week, while Mr. Klass was weighing up 40,000 lbs. for shipment. This shows that the people are not well-informed about this important and growing industry in Boone county. Two years ago 80,000 pounds of wool were exported. Now one dealer makes a single shipment of half this amount. Later we expect to give some additional facts as to this industry. A finer lot of cattle never left Boone county than the bunch of 31 sold this week by Newman P. Starke to Ben Tate of Hallsville. 22 of them brought $7 \frac{1}{4}$ cents a pound and good judges of stock say the sale was a recordbreaker. They were 2-year olds, averaged 1354 lbs. net, and were Mr. Starke's own feeding. He has fed then since last July on high priced corn and cotton seed meal which is a combination hard to beat when it comes to putting flesh on livestock. Wheat prospects are good at this writing. If farmers can be sure of $1 a bushel for the next crop it would mean great things for them. If farmers obtained $1 a bushel for their wheat the man, woman and child who eats bread, pie and cake would eat just as much bread, pie as they do now and at a less price. Dollar wheat would not impose a hardship on any person, but it would mean great prosperity to the entire country, benefiting every industry and individual. Stick to your farm. A $5,000 or $6,000 farm is far better, safer, healthier investment than a town store with an equal investment of capital. The man behind the plow is more independent than the man behind the counter. It is just as honorable and just as dignified to plow and plant, to milk and mow, as to tie up sugar, hand down a spool of thread or put up a package of crackers. The farmer who can envy the merchant, the manufacturer, or the town worker in general, has certainly got a wrong view of his own occupation as well as theirs.—Exchange. Paris Appeal.—The biggest lot of wool yet marketed at Paris was brought in by E. K. Crow and Sidney Heathman, Monday. From their partnership flock of 301 Ramboulets they sheared 3053 lbs, an average of a little over 10 pounds to the head, and sold it at 16c. These stock men are enthusiastic over the Ramboulets, claiming that they are hardy, very fine mothers, producers of big lambs and heavy fleeces. The wool, while bringing a little less in price, more than makes up for the loss in weight. Mr. Crow also marketed 868 lbs from 82 thoroughbred Shropshires and his sons, Arnold and John, 20 fleeces that weighed 259 lbs. Messrs. Crow and Heathman have 100 yearling wethers and 300 lambs for sale. Recent Sales of Real Estate.

Via, one of Boone county's oldest and most useful citizens, died at the home of his son-in-law, Winfield Conley, 3 miles south of Columbia, at 5 o'clock Wednesday evening, aged 88 years. Deceased was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, in 1813, and came to Boone county when a young man. He was married to Miss Mary A. Watson about 1832 and had lived in Boone county for many years, and for 50 years had been a local preacher in the Methodist church. The only surviving children are Dr. W. P. Via, of Oregon, and Mrs. Winfield Conley. Remains of this deceased pioneer were buried at Midway Friday June 13, funeral by Rev. W. T. Maup. Switzler as Probate Judge. Judge Lewis M. Switzler is renominated for the office of probate judge, defeating H. S. Booth and Judge Ed Gerig. It is a fashion in Missouri, provided the judge of probate is faithful and efficient in the discharge of duty, to permit him to serve for life, unless he resigns. Judge Switzler is one of the best probate judges in the state.—Ashland Bugle. Judge Switzler is a great Probate Judge and excellent gentleman. The people have said that ten years is not too much for a judge like Switzler.—Centralia Courier. Gave Farm to His Friend. From the Ashland Bugle.—John Leuzinger, aged 56 years, a native of Switzerland, and for more than 30 years a resident of this neighborhood, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Shan Jenkins, at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning, June 1, 1902. A few days before deceased passed away he made a will giving his forty acre farm to Shannon Jenkins, who, assisted by the neighbors, kindly cared for him during his last days. Thus closes a lonely life, spent thousands of miles away from kindred and native land. Peace to the ashes of our departed friend. Work of City Council. At a meeting of city council last week an order was made that the water main in Fair Ground addition be extended to the end of Lake St. An ordinance was passed defining the duties and the compensation of the driver of the fire team. He is to get $95 a month and act as special policeman when not otherwise engaged. The driver is/T. A. Murray. Compensation of the firemen was fixed as follows: Each member is to get $3 for each fire, $1.50 for each response to false alarm, and 50 cents for each practice run. Sidewalk on north 8th street was ordered repaired. Same order with reference to the sidewalk on the north side of the Jefferson school. There was no response to the advertisement for bids for the city depository. ee; Professional World RUFUS L. LOGAN, B. S.

The ery of fire rang through the building and before it could be prevent ed several patients jumped from the windows, When the department arriv- ed the windows were filled with people shrieking for help. Firemen devoted their first efforts to save hives and al- lowed the fire to burn. A iarge number ot people were carried down ladders by the firemen, ‘The fire in the meantime gained such headway there was almost no chance of those on the upper floors for escaping, but such of them as were not suffocated were Killed or badly in- jured by leaping from the windows. Alderman Kent was in his room on the fifth floor with an attendant, A. W. Wattles.

He sustained injuries which probably will cause his death, Kent evidently aied of suffocation. Three hours after the out- break of the fire, his body was found on the floor of his room, one leg burned toa erisp, and his head burned off, Dr. Bunker who recently lost.a leg in an accident, was in bed naked at the time and climbed to a window sill, but seeing the crowd went back into the smoke. He reappeared wrapped in a blanket and was reseued by the firemen, He said later he would rather be hurt than face the crowd undressed. ‘The scene that wrought the great crowd to a pitch of madness was enacted at a fourth story window. Across this win- dow was a heavy wire screen and out- side were iron bars, Behind the bars were gathered about 20 men, Escape in other directions was impossivie, for the fire filled all the halls and was steadily eating Its way toward the window. The fone chance for life for these men lay through the screened and barred win- dow. Men closest to the screen tore and tugged ina vain effort to tear it from its fastenings and men behind fought madly to get close enough to the screen to fasten their fingers in it.

Companies Are Pushing the Work of Building Stockades and Great Trouble is Feared, Srcanton, Pa,, June 11.—The coal companies are pushing the work of building stockades, stringing electric wires around the colleries, and in other ways preparing for a long siege and Possible trouble. Policemen are making a determined effort to stop the work of hanging mine owners in effigy, and today gave evidence that resulted in two strikers being fined $30 each. Feeling on the part of the strikers is daily growing more bitter, and the au- thorities fear that conditions are get- ting ripe for serious trouble. Emphate denial is made by the oper. ators’ local representative of the story that companies will this week pool their available forces and open a col: Mery or two, Vice President Loomis, who is at the head of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western coal department said todas the companies would not open a cok liery now if they could, because the ‘time was not ripe, Others made similar assertions. All agree that there is little nse in starting a colliery until there is a sign of wavering in the ranks of the strik- ers, George Lighthall, international pres- ident of the stationary engineers, came here today to work With the strikers in trying to call off the engineers still at_work, He and District President Nicholls addressed a large meeting of engineers, pump runners and firemen in West Scranton this afternoon, the purpose of which was to checkmate the energetic efforis of the colliery superintendents to induce these men to go back to work. Several cases of want among the families of the striking miners were re- ported today. A meeting of the Forest City local unions was held tonight, when {t was reported that five families were suffer- ing for bread and clothing, All the members who could afford It gave 25 cents for those in need. Several local in West Seranton have already been compelled to take the same action to render assistance. Unions Aiding Miners, Wilkesbarre, Pa. June 11—The “tightening up" process, which has been in process since the anthracite coal strike began, four weeks ago to- day, continues, Ail the classes of trades unions in the hardd coal belt have taken a hand in helping the miners, and now the long-predieted move of the railroaders in the region has been made. The Lehigh Valley company men met et the same time and decided not to handle soft coal that may be wanted to displace hard fuel, and at Kingston, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western company employes protested against the hauling of soft coal, and condemn- ed the action of railroad conductors in acting as deputies, Talking of Damages. : Shamokin, Pa,.

Correspondencs Made Public. New York, June 11.—The presidents of the coal Toads immediately affected by the strike in the anthracite coal mines made public today the letters and telegrams which have passed between the operators and President. Mitchell and other representatives of the United Mine Workers, The operators preface the correspondence with a brief his- tory of the unionizing of the anthra~ cite miners after the establishment of the United Mine Workers, originally an organization of bituminous miners, and recite the agreement to an advance of ten per cent in wages in 1901, follow- ‘ing the strike of 1900; the abolishment ‘of the sliding seale, and finally the in- ‘vitation of Feb, 14, 1902, to the oper- ators.

A Potest Against Subjection to the Panama Fad. | Boston Journal: “No form of the rough straw hat will be stylish this year.” eays the sartorial dictator. “The Panama ts the thing.” Now a little thing Itke the price of & Paname that will last through at least One rainstorm—$8 or $10—Is of no con- soquence, of course. 8o many of our Worthy feliow citizens are looking hard tor ways in which to dispose of thelr sumbrous income that the munificence of the whole American people seems to be taken for granted by these gentle- men whose portraits we see every day on the signboards, | Personally, we have a strong aver- sion to the Panama. This aversion has nothing to do with the fact that our last straw hat—a rough pattern, by the way—is in presentable condition, or that we are saving up to go to less the still receding St. Louis fair. The fact is, the Panama isn’t our style. A man Ought to be independent at least in re- gard to his hat. We have always felt friendly toward the few brave, vener- able persons who are yet clinging to the Daniel Webster hat. “There,” we Say to ourselves as they hobble by, “there is strength of character—inde- Dendenee” Surely a hat ts a eign of character! The ancients declined to compromise tuemselves; they wore no hats. When the ume of honor came they offered their bare heads to the laurel. They were not embarrassed or distorted by the Derby, the etovepipe, or the Fedora. We can imagine Caesar strolling along the Via Appia in a silk tile, but the picture is wholly amusing. We can ak 80 imagine Napoleon doffing a nice White Fedora to the ladies at Fontaine bleau, but we instantly associate the Wonderful hero of Dresden with Mr. DeWolf Hopper and the Weber & Field chorus. No, for all time Caesar shall Wear no tile, and Napoleon the familiar three-cornereé head-piece that, ac- cording to Hugo, showed {ts broad front. to the allies even after the corpses of his daring culrassters had filled to the level the sunken road of Ohain. But the number of those who hold out determinedly against hat fashions {s small. In hats, as in speech, custom first makes them rebels and then slaves, FLORIDA AS A SUGAR STATE. An Amazing Estimate of the State’s Resources. One of the best agricultural authori- ties in Florida declares that there are 5,000,000 waste acres in that state eas- ily capable of profitably producing 10,- 000,000 tons of sugar cane. That would mean the production of all the sugar the American public demands, and leave @ tremendous surplus for ex- portation and sale in foreign markets at prices that would take and hold those markets, Our annual consumption of sugar now is about 2,400,000 tons, or less than one- quarter the amount that the Florida lands are safely estimated as capable of producing annually. For the sugar we are compelled to import we pay about $150,000,000 per year. In addition, we | pay an exhorbitant tax to the sugar trust for refining the raw sugars and distributing the product to the people of the nation, All these enormous sums [could be saved to the nation, and large ly to the individual families, by the oc- cupation and cultivation of the waiting sugar lands of Florida. It seems rather strange that the en- terprising officials and citizens of Flor- {da do not at once take up this matter in a practical way and so exploit these lands and opportunities as to attract to them settlers and capital that will real- ize thelr possibilities. If they could enly organize and carry out a sucessful boom in sugar raising they might easily, and within a few years, build up an industry that would of Itself be almost a state monopaly and create a trade of increasing millions annually, the profits of which would be reaped and spent by the Flcrida people. Now is the day of salvation for the South. Eager eyes and prescient capi- tal are turning to her rich and unde- veloped resources. Florida's sugar lands are almost as precious as the the placers of the Klondike, and their precious syrups and sugars can be more easily coined into permanent wealth than the dust and nuggets of Cape Nome. Floridians, it is your time to hustle! HOW'S THIS P Wo offer One Hundred Dollars Reward tor any ‘case of Cutereh that Canmet Be ured by: Halt Caterrh: Cure Fy CHENEY & CO. ‘Poledo, 0.

CENTRAL N. U........ NO. 15-02 FARM NOTES Copyrighted, 1902, by J. S. Trigg Rockford, Ia. Correspondence Solicited. We know of a very tender hearted woman who still thinks it is alright to pluck a live goose. When the house cats get to killing the little chicks, it is no use to try moral suasion as a remedy. Weeds and washing are doing more to remove the fertility of many a farm than all the cropping ever given it. A general drop in prices of farm products will put an end to some of the land craze which is abroad in the land. Prosperity for a large section of the country may be said to have begun when the creamy check began to get into circulation. The branching and comet asters gave us great satisfaction last season. The stems are long and the blossoms almost as fine as some of the nicest chrysanthemums. The prune growers complain that while that have to sell their crop of prunes for about five or six cents a pound the consumer has to pay from ten to twenty cents for them. When a farmer does his first work in scientific agriculture with an incubator, he is quite likely to want to consign science, the college and professors to the bottomless pit. The wise man will get ready for the reaction in the farm land business which is sure to come. He should at least have no mortgage on his land bought as an investment. We read an article lately on rose culture in Oregon, and then when we thought how hard it is to raise the nice roses in north Iowa we wanted to move right out to Oregon. The short potato crop of 1901 made the growers more money than they have ever received from the crop before—that is, those who were able to grow any crop of the tubers. If man could find out how to control sex, he would have the universe all out of whack inside of a few generations. The claims made that it can be done invariably fall to the ground when tested. If you are a guest at some home and want to make friends with your hostess, praise her bread, her butter or her baby. Where you do this you can have two pieces of pie and no questions asked. We know, for we've tried it. A few years ago all the prunes in this country were imported. Now the Pacific coast states produce three pounds of prunes for each one of our 80,000,000 people, and the fruit is 100 per cent better than that which we used to import. The enormous profits of the great packing houses are derived almost wholly from the offal of the animals which they slaughter, and it is this fact which makes it so difficult for the concern with limited means to compete with them. Rooty, stumpy ground can be most easily worked and best fitted for a crop by using one of the heavy, narrow orchard and vineyard disks. There is no catching in roots, and the land is put in fine shape for a first crop without plowing. We find that the influence of a black walnut tree is absolutely fatal to the growth of apple trees within a radius of about 100 feet, and so, having to choose between a handsome walnut and the orchard trees, the walnut had to come down. We think it pays to fill out the missing trees in an orchard up to the time the trees are about six years old, but not after that. After that time the older trees have so monopolized the ground that it is a very difficult thing to make a young tree do well. Just as the millions of acres of corn land were ready for the planter this year down came the floods, beating and packing hard the mellow soil and compelling an extra disking before the planting could be done, which will prove to be a splendid thing for the land and the crop. A forty acre tract of river bottom land, once producing blue joint grass four feet high and always mowed and never pastured, has, after a contest of forty years, finally succumbed to the blue grass and must now be used as a pasture to be of any value. This transformation would have been effected much more quickly had the land been pastured instead of mowed for hay. The man who feeds steers in the corn belt can do some thinking over the fact that Idaho and Montana purely grass fed steers have sold this spring in Chicago at almost $6, while the corn fed animal has brought only $7 or $7.50. If a poor man cannot start in with a quarter section of land, let him take 80 or 40 or even ten acres. We know of a $15,000 farm which grew out of a tax title, ten acres and good grit. The Borers. We have a number of inquiries how best to fight the apple tree borer. We do not pretend to know the best way, but do this with reasonable success: First, keep all rubbish and grass clear from the base of the trunk of the tree; second, give each tree a critical examination during the month of May to see if any borers are at work and, if so, dig them out; third, give the trunk of the tree a thick wash of strong soapsuds and lime as soon as the trees have been inspected in May and another wash along the middle of June. In spite of these precautions the borer will get a few trees each year. Big Farming Not the Best. Big farming is not the best. It seems almost impossible to get many men rid of the notion that it is the number of head of stock kept and the number of acres of land russetive, five acres of farmland or coats of craftful farming. We saw a dozen yearling calves the other day just turned out on pasture. So thin and poor were the beasts that the owner might properly have been proceeded against under the law. They were not worth to any feeder over $15 per head, if worth that. This man's neighbor had five yearlings of the same grade which he refused $40 per head for, they being good enough for the local butcher's use. Another man we know of is going to try to take care of seventy-five acres of corn with one team, which is the yearling business in another form. Farms For Hard Workers. For the benefit of poor men seeking a farm and home we are requested to say that the timbered sections of northern and central Minnesota and Wisconsin offer special advantages. It may be said of this territory that the tame grasses—timothy, clover and alfalfa—do exceedingly well, that the rainfall is ample, that lumber is very cheap, that markets are nearby and of the best, that the land is cheap—from $10 to $25 per acre; that a man will have his own fuel supply for many years and will have a plenty of back breaking work to dig out his farm, for pine stumps last long and wear well. It is not a prairie land proposition by a long shot, yet still has many compensations and is worth looking up by the poor man in search of a farm. Stump Land in Wisconsin. A friend writing to us from Washburn county, Wis. tells us that there are thousands of acres of land in that county which can be bought and cleared up at a price not to exceed $15 per acre and that these lands will grow the finest of clover and timothy. As we understand it, these lands are cut off pine lands, and we do not see how such land can be cleared in the sense that the stumps are removed and the land made fit for the plow for any such money. We suppose that the clearing simply means the removal of the timber growth and then a wait for the stumps to rot out. Still, if the tame grasses will grow, such land can be pastured and reclaimed in a very few years. Cold Storage Cheese We have been eating and very much relishing of late a cheese which was taken right from the hoop last September and cured in cold storage at a temperature of about 42. It is really surprising how very greatly the flavor and quality of the cheese are improved by this method of curing. It opens a new field for the American cheese-maker and is bound to create a demand for his product that will surprise him. This soft, rich, mild, fine flavored product would easily have been the strong, rancid, biting, ill flavored cheese with which we are all so familiar had it been cured in the old way. Every cheese-maker should look this method up. Old and New Ways We have seen a large field of wheat planted in England where a man went along with a pointed stick or dibble in each hand and made little holes in the ground six inches apart, two rows at a time, and he was followed by a boy or a girl, who dropped a kernel of wheat in each hole, and then we saw a farmer in North Dakota, with six horses, on a sixteen foot drill, sowing forty acres in a day in just as good shape. The English wheat crop was carefully hoed and weeded, cut with a sickle by hand and yielded forty bushels per acre. But then paupers were thicker than the hair on a dog in that country fifty years ago. The Man Who Succeeds. We always like to see a man so far as he has opportunity make the most of the natural resources at his command, like to see him drain a bog, reefocest a bleak hillside with evergreens or foresttrees, turn the course of a stream and irrigate his land, keep pure bred animals and fowls and plant only pure bred seed. Such a man may not cut so big a splurge as some of the so-called big farmers which cover hundreds of acres, but he makes an intelligent success of his calling and enjoys his work every day. A Good Idea. The summer farmers' institute is a feature which is coming into vogue in many localities and has very much to commend it. It is made a plenic occasion. A brief program is prepared, the-topics selected for discussion being seasonable and practicable. Two sessions are held, one in the foremoon and one in the afternoon. This is an idea worth exploiting, for it combines the social and educational in a very pleasant monner. We are asked whether the buffalo grass can be made to grow in the settled portion of the West. We do not think it can. It belongs to a dry country. The rainfall which is essential to most cereal crops would be the death of it. It belongs out in the range country and only there where a steer is allowed ten acres of pasture. A friend writes us from north central Wisconsin and says that there is plenty of land there which will grow the finest clover in the world which can be bought today for $15 to $25 per acre. This fact should be better known, for where clover will do well there shorthorns may be raised, and where shorthorns are raised there is a good and very profitable type of American agriculture. The local merchant who trusts you when you have no money is certainly entitled in all fairness to a chance at least to bid for your cash trade. Working in her own wild way, nature in her effort to turn out something pretty in a floral way seldom does anything nicer than giving us the wild crabapple in bloom. It is better to have to drain a swamp than to have to keep a hill slope from washing away. One of the biggest mistakes made by dairymen is that of working on the theory that a cow can make milk out of anything, provided she only has enough of it. The man who stuffs his cows with corn fodder with the ears on is one of the biggest sinners in this particular. York state grows more onions than any other state—6,033 acres, yielding 2,177,271 bushels, valued at $1,066,042. Planted in the garden, the bush lima bean gives just about one mess of beans and then the frost does the rest. Cold and wet weather is bad for the blooming season of all orchard fruits. The bees will not work in such weather, and, as we note it, no bees, little fruit. Every small boy should have the fun and sport connected with snaring and shooting gophers. It will be a good thing for the gopher and for the boy also. A lady friend of ours has married off three hired girls inside of nine months. This housewife has no trouble in getting tired girls, even if they don't stay long with her. We have never noted that Western crowns pull the newly planted corn, as they do in the East. Perhaps they have more food, or possibly they have not yet learned how. During the present era of high prices for foodstuffs it is fortunate that wheat and wheat products have not followed after other commodities, the price of wheat having so far remained at a very reasonable figure. The very richest man in America not only is forced to chop wood and dig dirt to get up a little appetite for skim milk and graham mush, but he now has lost all his hair and not only feels bad, but looks that way, too. Both the crowns and the hen hawks are nesting in a piece of timber owned by the writer on his farm, and, while the hawks never molest the crowns, no sooner does one of the hawks take wing than the crowds are right after him. WORSE THAN CHINESE LABOR. How Monkeys are Made to Work in Peru. Denver Post: "Perhaps the most interesting creatures in Peru are the apes," said Dwight Darrington in the office of Philip Hitchcock, of the Wabash Railway, yesterday. Mr. Darrington has an extensive plantation in eastern Peru. He is traveling for pleasure across the continent. For centuries past these remarkable animals have been performing work which is usually supposed to require human intelligence," continued he. "Naturalists accredit the horse, dog and elephant with possessing more intellect than all other dumb animals, but I believe the Peruvian apes surpass all brutes. In the huge nut forests of my adopted country the apes are of inestimable value. With amazing celerity they pick the rich nuts from the dark trees, saving much time and expense. Men cannot do the work in thrice the time required by the nimble-fingered apes. "My plantation near the Ucayali river contains 700 acres, of which an even 100 is in nut trees. I have 40 apes to do the pickling for me. Two native foremen have charge of the hairy-bodied nut gatherers. I have a huge, comfortable cage for the apes, large enough to accommodate 100 of them. Into this they march every night. Each morning early, when the parroctes and scarlet finches begin to scream, the foremen open the doors of the cage and out troop the apes, chattering merrily. They are permitted to eat and drink for 10 minutes, and then led off to the grove selected for the day. Four apes are sent up each tree and every quartet has a big basket at the bottom. "While the foremen sing and play upon their mouth organs, strolling about from tree to tree, and noting progress, the apes pluck the nuts win great rapidity. After several hours the donkey wagons appear with more baskets and remove those already loaded with nuts to the big bins in the storehouse. There is then a brief cessation of work. "Sometimes I go out with my violin and play a bit. Our apes in Peru are exceptionally fond of music, and I suppose all apes are. On my approach they chatter eagerly and group themselves around me. I play tunes of all kinds, but never fail to close with something lively and spirited. I clap my hands, point to the trees and depart on my mule. The apes take the hint and the empty hankets, seek the unpicked trees and begin picking with renewed vigor. "We always treat them kindly. Punishment for mischievous conduct is severe, but rarely necessary. Sometimes the wild apes attack the plantation in bands and do much harm. The dogs give warning day or night, and we shoot the intruders mercilessly. After they have been repulsed and some killed, we take our apes to the spot in solemn procession. We show them the dead and bloody bodies of their friends. Then we lock them up for a day or more. "The lesson produces an indelible impression upon them. They learned long ago that all animals must be subservient to man. They evince rage at the sight of a wild monkey. They are most valuable servants, and enable the planters to make handsome incomes, which would be impossible with solely human labor." Three Victoria crosses, ten distinguished service medals, to promotions to commissioned rank and four mentions in dispatches have fallen to the lot of reform school lads in South Africa. Advantages of Matrimony Advantages of matrimony. Friend—Did you lose anything the Bustall bank? Depositor—Not a cent. "Well, well! If you knew the thing was going up, why didn't you say so?"

The Doctor Writes of Counterfeiters. CHAS. H. FLETCHER, New York City. Hyannis, Mass., May 12, 1900. Dear Mr. Fletcher:—I wish to congratulate you on your numerous victories over counterfeiters and imitators of Castoria, and trust the time is not far distant when these inferior and dangerous mixtures will be entirely suppressed. You are right when you say in your advertisements that it is "Experience against Experiment." I feel it to be an outrage, and an imposition upon the parents of little children that my name should be associated with imitations of Castoria, dangerous to the health and life of these little ones who too often fight their battles for life in vain. Let me again commend you for the high standard you have maintained in the preparation of my prescription, and I confidently believe it is due to this scrupulous integrity you are indebted for the wonderful sale of Castoria to-day, and the steady growth it has had since I gave you the details of its manufacture in my laboratory thirty-three years ago. 9,000 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for As- similating the Food and Regula- ting the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS - CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerful- ness and Res.

Suppose it is your turn to entertain some young people at an evening party. Take a cent or a nickel from your pocket, place it on the outstretched palm of either hand, and challenge anyone to brush it away. Any kind of brush may be used for this purpose, but no brush that was ever made will prove effective, since the coin will remain in the palm of the hand in spite of all the efforts to remove it. Of course, you must stipulate that the front of the brush is only to be used, and that no attempt is to be made to push the coin away with the handle. LOOP PUZZLE Here is an ingenious new puzzle which will provide much entertainment, not only for the young, but also for those numerous persons of mature years who like to solve problems. It consists of a board, on which is a plain, circular, unobstructed field, a circular wall encloses this field, and here and there in it are placed differently colored balls, which are free to move in any direction they please. The puzzle consists in arranging the balls according to groups, those of the same color being wholly apart from the others. It looks easy at first, but those who have tried to get the balls into the desired positions say that it is quite a difficult task. Garden parties have been inaugurated by Mrs. Roosevelt, much to the gratification of the president, who may be depended upon always to favor any form of amusement in the open air. H. C. Evans is visiting Mayor Collins of Boston, an old friend, from whom he is getting some points about running the consul general's office in London, to which he has recently been appointed.

She Didn't Want Any Advice from Her Private Secretary. Professor Oscar Browning in Century: The queen's interest in and oversight of public affairs did not cease with the prince's death, although, in the first years of overwhelming sorrow, it must have been difficult to carry out her conception of duty. All important resolutions were taken by her; the personal notes in the "court circular" were written by her own hand, and were seen by no one else. When Sir Henry Ponsonby became the queen's private secretary, she said to him: "Remember this: No advice! I am older than you are, and have had more experience." In after years historians will have much to say o. the queens personal share in the government of her dominions. All her papers have been most carefully preserved and arranged, and some day, perhaps, will be accessible to the inquirer. On the other hand, there is not a single paper belonging to George III. which is known to be in existence. George R. McKenzie, a sewing machine manufacturer, built two Presbyterian churches in Jersey City, and gave them to the congregation on the agreement that no musical instruments should ever be heard within their walls. The prohibition was fatal to both churches. The congregations dwindled down and down, and the last of the churches has just been closed because of nonsupport. Both buildings will be sold and the money used in aid of other Presbyterian churches. A suit has been brought by a subscriber of the Sunset Telephone company, at Seattle, to compel the company to issue a new directory containing his name and number. It has been the custom of the company to issue a new book about every year, but this particular subscriber does not think that he should be compelled to wait that long before seeing his name in print. SEUILER NO CHANCE TO REPENT. Bilder—You say you married in haste. Then I suppose you are repenting at leisure. SOUTLEAF GOOD OLD GRANDFATHER. "My good old grandfather never used glasses," boasted the Proud Person. "I never had much use for these people who drink from a bottle," put in the Chronic Critic. RIPENING OF CHEESE. Discovery Which is Expected to Revolutionize the Business. Scribner's: A hitherto unknown element in milk, a new ferment, has been discovered, called galactose, which is proving of value in the ripening of cheese. The properties of this ferment are similar to the secretion of the pancreatic organ in the human body. Old cheese is a predigested food, and the digestion is wrought by the galactose. It was found that the galactose would go on working at very low temperatures, temperatures at which bacteria were practically inert. Cheese was put into refrigerators and kept frozen for months. Other cheese was kept just above the freezing point. It was found that the finest cheese is cured at from 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Practical cheese manufacturers had maintained that 50 degrees was the lowest temperature at which cheese would be worked without becoming bitter and worthless. The new discovery will, it is believed, revolutionise cheese manufacture, doing away with all curingrooms, the cheese being sent directly to the refrigerator. The highest price yet paid for a copy of a modern author's book has just been given, the London Athenaeum says, by Mr. T. J. Wise. For £600 he has lately acquired the second of the only two known copies of the original edition of Tennyson's "Lover's Tale"—to the ordinary man an insignificant little volume—with some corrections in the poet's hand. The other copy is in the Rowfant library. Farmers in Alabama. The total number of farms in Alabama is given at 223,220, of which 129,137 are operated by white farmers and 94,083 by colored farmers.

Enloe, Jefferson City. THE employment of white teachers at Lincoln Institute is something that the Regents are and will be justly criticised for, and the employment of white janitors there is a most ridiculous action. THE editor of the educational column in the Omaha Enterprise, in its last issue, attempts to cast a reflection upon Lincoln Institute and its management by making untruthful statements, charging the faculty with indulging cheating in examinations and closes the statement by casting a slur at the president of the institution. It is unnecessary for us to deny these statements, but for the benefit of the editor we will state that it would be far more manly and would show better judgment on his part to visit Lincoln Institute or to have some assurance of the veracity of such statements before publishing them. The Omaha Enterprise is the organ of the Missouri State Teachers' Association and we are surprised to know that Editou Mahammit would allow his paper to be used as a medium through which individuals would display their ignorance.

Hall's Family Pills are the best. Household Education. From the moment that a child becomes subject to and infirmity, a special relation between him and his mother begins to exist; and their confidence must become special. She must watch for, or make occasions for speaking to him about his particular trial; not often, nor much at a time, but so as to leave an opening for the pouring out of his little heart. If he is not yet conscious of his peculiarity, this is the gentlest way in which he can be made so. If he is conscious, he must have some pain at his heart which he would be the better of for confiding. Humpbacked people are generally said to be vain, haughty, fond of dress, forward and talkative, irritable and passionate. If not so they are usually shy and timid. I cannot see anything in their peculiarity to cause the first-mentioned tendencies; and I be- lieve they arise from the mismanagement of their case. The fond mother and pitying friends may naturally forget that the child does not see himself as they see him, and fancy that they soothe his mortifications by saying whatever they can say in favor of his appearance—letting him know that he has pretty hair or good eyes. They may even dress him fine, to make up to him in one way for his faults of appearance in another. Under the idea of encouraging him under his supposed mortifications, they may lead him on to be forward and talkative, and then, again, his mortifications, when they come upon him unprepared, may well make him irascible. How much of this might be obviated, as well as the shyness and timidity of those who are left to themselves, by timely confidence between the mother and child! When they are alone together, calm and quiet, let her tell him that he does not look like other children, and that he will look less like other people as he grows older. Never let her tell him that this is of no great consequence—never let her utter the cant that is talked to young ladies at schools, that the charms of the minds are everything, and those of the form and face nothing. This is not true; and she ought to know that it is not; and nothing but truth will be strong enough to support him in what he must undergo. Let her not be afraid to tell him the worst. He had better hear it from her; and it will not be too much for him, if told in a spirit of cheerful patience. The child, like the man, never has a happier hour than that which succeeds the reception of bad news, if the nobler faculties are allowed their free play.—From Godey's lady's book published December 1859. To Assess Telephones. Jefferson City, Mo., June 10. State Auditor Allen to-day sent out a circular requesting each county clerk to send in the values and list of all telephones in his county, in order that the State Board of Equalization may properly assess them. This is the first time those properties have been called for assessment. 70 Young Lawyers. Jefferson City, Mo., June 5.—The Missouri University graduates in law, seventy-one in number, came over from Columbia to-day and enrolled at the bar of the Supreme Court. The class called at the Mansion to-night and were entertained by Governor Dockery. Twenty-one of the graduates go to St. Louis to-night to enroll in the Federal Court before Judge Adams, Bloomers in Paris From the Appeal. The Boston Bloomer Girls and the Paris Maroons played a game of ball at the fair grounds Monday. The score stood 14 to 8 in favor of Paris. The Bloomers' playing was a regular nightmare. They couldn't play a good game of "Puss wants a corner." The occupants of the bald-head row were very enthusiastic over the shapely pitcher until, horrible to relate, she turned out to be a low down man in a clever makeup. Their indignation was great. Church Hit by Lightniug. St. Joseph, Mo., June 8.—During the graduating exercises of the Odell (Neb.) High School, held at the First Methodist Church there last night, lightning struck the edifice, demolishing a tower in the front of the structure and rendering several spectators and graduates unconscious. The building was soon afire, and the lives of many people were in peril. A large tank of water afforded prompt and effective means of extinguishing the flames. It is believed no deaths will result, although several women were removed from the church to their homes suffering severely from shock. Joseph Barth Killed. Joseph Barth, of Boonville, a cousin of Vic and Gus Barth, of Mrs. Loeb and Mrs. Meyer, of Columbia, was killed instantly in a railroad wreck at Nelson, Saline county. Thursday, June 5th, 1902. Deceased was 62 years of age, a generous, substantial enterprising citizen of Boonville, and leaves two married daughters. The remains were brought to Columbia Sunday, after a service at the family residence in Boonville conducted by Dr. Sale, of St. Louis, and were laid to rest beside those of his wife, who died about two years ago.

DON'T DELAY. COME NOW. Preparing Reply to Packers. Jefferson City, Mo., June 9.-The answer of the Attorney General to the return of the packers, filed today, will be made in a few days when the issues will be joined. It is probable that the next step will be a filing of a demurrer to the return by the Attorney General, which, if sustained by the court, will join the issues and the court will hand down an opinion which will settle the case. It is acknowledged by the packers that the beef inquiry has injured their trade infinitely more than would a decision of the court ousting the companies from doing business in the State and then waiving the ouster on the payment of a fine. It is stated here that the packing companies would now like to have the matter settled at once without any more noise and are ready to pay the fine should the court decide against them. Considering the character of the return filed to-day this theory seems plausible. John Smart, who was to have been tried this term of court for the killing of Zeb Crosswhite, in Columbia several months ago, Wednesday pleaded guilty and gladly accepted a ten year sentence in the pen. Mining Cases Settled. The five famous Joplin mining suits, wherein B. H. Downing et al. were plaintiffs and D. A. Mayer et al. were defendants, have been compromised by the payment of $2700 to the plaintiffs by the defendants. The suit alleged fraud in the consummation of a mining deal at Joplin. All the parties were originally shareholders in the McBride Lead & Zinc Co. It was alleged the mine was bought for $12,000 and the Joplin real estate man gave the purchaser a check for $7,000, making the mine cost but $5,000. Only a few of the stockholders were in on the $7,000, and this was the cause of the suit. It is a matter of congratulation that the suit has been settled out of court, and thus expensive litigation prevented. In Probate Court June Term.
