ANOTHER COLE COUNTY GRAND JURY To everyone in Missouri except the boodlers and their secret sympathizers there is a distinct cause for congratulation in the fact that another Cole county grand jury has been summoned by Circuit Judge Hazell. Its meaning is that Joseph W. Folk will not have to keep up alone the fight for clean government; that the Attorney General, E. C. Crow, has lost none of the active interest which made him a powerful factor in the beginning of the legislative inquiry, and that the people of Cole county, where most of the boodling took place, will not allow considerations of expense to outweigh the honor of the commonwealth. There was doubtless a vast amount of pressure brought to bear on Judge Hazell to dissuade him from his purpose of calling the grand jury. He should have the hearty commendation of every good citizen of Missouri that he did not yield to it. When the first Cole county grand jury was dismissed after returning several indictments it was declared by those who wished to ridicule the investigations that Judge Hazell and the attorney general "had lain down" at a critical moment and that, so far as Jefferson City was concerned, the prosecution would be a farce. The fact was that the first twelve men chosen from the body of Cole county had done all that could be done at that stage of the inquiry and there was no reason why their sitting should be continued. There is abundant work for it to do now, however, and every reason to believe that its investigations will give the people of Missouri more cause to wonder that their public service could have been so rotten.—K.

C., July 22.—The weather bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions is as follows: While the temperature in the central valleys, lake region, and Atlantic coast districts have averaged considerably below normal no unfavorable effects from cool weather are apparent from the reports, except in portions of the middle and south Atlantic states, where growth was checked to some extent. The need of rain continues in portions of the lower Ohio and central Mississippi valleys, North Dakota, northern Minnesota, and western Texas, and is beginning to be felt in the central gulf states, Oklahoma, southwestern Kansas, and portions of the Carolinas. Local storms, in places accompanied by hail, proved damaging in the upper Missouri, upper Mississippi and Ohio valleys and lake region. Conditions on the Pacific coast were favorable, although light frosts caused slight damage in Washington during the early part of the week. Corn has made favorable advancement in all districts, but in the principal corn states it is variable as to size and condition, being generally small, especially in the central and eastern districts of the belt. As a result the crop is in a good state of cultivation, except in the upper Ohio valley and middle Atlantic states. In portions of Indiana, Missouri, southwestern Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, corn is in need of rain to a greater or less extent. High winds flattened considerable corn in the lake region on the 17th and 18th. Winter wheat harvest is practically completed, except in a few of the more northerly states. Weather conditions have been favorable for thrashing, which work is in progress, the fields continuing light. The reports respecting spring wheat are not favorable. The late sown in the Red River valley in Minnesota is believed to be beyond recovery, while heavy rains have kept the lowlands in the southern portion of the state flooded and have caused lodging in the uplands. Rains in the southeast and extreme northeast portions of North Dakota have improved the crop, and in South Dakota spring wheat is filling well, except in the southeastern portion and in Iowa, where it is unfavorably affected by rust. In Wisconsin and Nebraska and on the north Pacific coast more favorable reports are received. Much rust in oats is reported from the states of the Ohio and Upper Mississippi valleys and lake region, and upon the whole the condition of the crop is below recent anticipations. Harvest is in general progress. Further improvement in the condition of cotton is general throughout the cotton belt, although it is grassy over a large part of the eastern districts. Cool nights were somewhat detrimental in the Carolinas, and need of rain is beginning to be felt in Oklahoma. While rapid growth is reported from nearly all districts, the crop continues late; it is well cultivated in the central and western districts. Boll weevil is reported as doing very little damage in Texas. The tobacco crop is in need of rain in portions of Ohio and Kentucky, and has sustained some damage from high winds and heavy rains in Wisconsin, but elsewhere the outlook is promising. Haying has continued under favorable conditions in the lower Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys and lake region, where an excellent crop is being secured. In the Ohio valley and middle Atlantic states the yield is better than expected. KILLED BY LIGHTNING Dundee Man Meets Death While Working on Roof of House. Elgin, Ill., July 22.—John Forkins of Dundee, a suburb of Elgin, was struck by lightning and instantly killed just before noon. His dead body rolled from the top of a house where he was working and fell to the ground, thirty feet below. His companion, Will Kinder, was also struck. His clothing caught fire and burned him seriously. He, too, fell off the roof, receiving severe injuries. AN OLD SOLDIER SUICIDES Wm. Taylor, Aged 70, at Marshalltown, Hanged Himself.

He leaves two daughters, one in Clinton and the other in Chicago. BURIAL OF THE POPE Remains Interred In St. Peter's Remains Interred In St. Peter's THE LAST SAD RITES It Was One of the Most Impressive Ceremonies Ever Held in the City of Rome (Rome special.—The body of Pope Leo XIII was interred in St. Peter's tonight. The stroke of a hammer which resounded through the immense dome of the cathedral announced to the earnest gathering in the nave that Leo XIII had been laid to rest. At sundown the most important and most solemn of all the obsequies took place. The front doors of the basilica were closed, and the vast church, except for a row of lights at the shrine of St. Peter, candles about the bier and those persons who had quietly and with the utmost reverence gathered there, appeared deserted. About 1,000 persons had received invitations to attend the ceremonies. The cardinals, who met earlier in the vatican, entered the chapel, the choir waiting there for the arrival of the procession, Cardinal Oreglia, the camerlego, holding the yeys of command. Procession to the Chapel. Procession to the Chapel. Through special permission the representative of the Associated Press was allowed to enter the chapel before the remains of the dead pontiff were removed. Rampolla, as archpriest, was waiting outside the gates, in violet robes, surrounded by the chapter of the cathedral, which was led by Mgr. Copetelli, who conducted the service. Drs. Lapponi and Mazzoni directed the work of the removal of the bier, which was executed by eight sediatile, or popes' carriers, attired in their brilliant red robe costumes. Then to the strains of the "Misseree," which wailed through the lofty church, and preceded by a glittering cross held aloft, the procession, carrying candles and torches, slowly left the chapel, and went up the church, passing the bronze statue and behind the shire of St. Peter. Those gathered fell to their knees. After a slow progress around the church, the cortegue arrived at the chapel, the chapel choir from semi obscurity flashing into the brilliancy of a suddenly turned on electric light. Here all those who had received invitations were stopped, remaining in the main part of the basilica behind a double line of Swiss guards in their peculiar yellow, red and black uniforms, and armed with halbords and serpentine swords. In the chapel the music was changed to notes of joy and triumph, and "In Paradiseum" rang out with telling effect. From outside the five bells of St. Peter's rang their accustomed salute to the coming night, mingling harmoniously with the music of the choir. An Effective Scene. The scene in the chapel was most remarkably effective. The bier bearing the body was received by Cardinal Oreglia. It was placed in the center, backed by an altar, with a beautiful image of the Madonna, before which were burning four immense candles in silver staffs. Around two sides of the chapel, in choir nets, were 36 cardinals, all wearing violet robes except Gotti and Plerotti, who wore the white mantles of their orders; Martinelli, as an Augustiania and vives tuto in Franciscan brown. Features Covered. In the middle of the right side of the chapel, among the cardinals, sat Prince Mercantonio Colonna, assistant to the pontifical throne, with an empty seat next to him, owing to the fact that Prince Orsini, who held the same position, had resigned. The body was sprinkled with holy water, absolution was given and the foot of Leo XIII was kissed for the last time by Major Domo Cagliano, Master of the Chamber Bisleti and Count Pecci. The major domo then covered the venerable features and hands with a white s.k. veil bordered with gold. Over this the prefect of ceremonies spread a large red silk veil, which covered the whole person. Mgr. Bartolini read or SLAVE MASTER FINED One Thousand Dollars Imposed on Alabamian for Holding Negro in Peonage. Montgomery, Ala., July 29.—The jury in the case of the United States against B. N. Franklin, charged with causing at Hill, a negro to be held in a condition of peonage, brought in a verdict of guilty this morning. A fine of $1,000 was imposed, which was immediately paid. ato brevis, eulogizing the dead pontif, and Notary Poponi read the burial record, a service which he performed upon the death of Popes Gregory XVI and Pius IX. Placed in the Coffin. The monsignores of the basilica, alided by the nouse guard, then laid all that was mortal of Leo XIII in a cypress coffin lined with red satin and bearing on the cover an inlaid cross, the entire sacred college and Prince Colonna rising to their feet as a last tribute and sign of respect. When the body was carefully put in the coffin it was entirely concealed with a red velvet covering. The major domo put beside the body two silk purses containing coins of silver and a bronze medal struck during Leo's pontificate. An eulogy, written in Latin enclosed in a metal tube was also interred with the body. When all had been arranged supreme prayer was said and the last benediction given, all present joining in. Half suppressed sobs were heard on all sides. The coffin was then placed in a lead receptacle which was sealed, and these two were placed in a third casket. These were then removed from the chapel, preceded by the same procession which had escorted the remains of the pope into the chapel. To the strains of "Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel," the coffin was holested into the stone sarcophagus above the door, where it will remain until a suitable tomb is erected in the basilica of St. John Latter. Thus was the pope consigned to his long rest. As the midday gun from the te of St. Angelo was fired, the lying in state of the body of Pope Leo came quietly to an end, and those few who still lingered at the gates of the Chapel of Sacrement in St. Peter's were ordered to leave, and the world's last farewell of the great pope was over. The preparations for this evening's interment were immediately commenced. The last funeral mass in St. Peter's was celebrated this morning, and at the same time funeral masses were celebrated in most of the churches of some. The most imposing ceremony today was the reception by the sacred college in the hall of the consistory of the whole diplomatic body accorded to the vatican. The diplomats wore gorgeous uniforms, and the cardinals had on their magnificent violet robes and were seated in huge arm chairs according to the rights of precedence. The Portuguese ambassador, M. Martins d'Antas, dean of the diplomatic corps, was at the head of the body. He delivered an address in French expressing the sorrow of all the powers at the death of Pope Leo, who had acquired the universal esteem of the world. Cardinal Oreglia, dean of the college of cardinals, arose and an his work during his long pontificate, diplomats in the name of the sacred college for the part all governments had taken in the mourning of the church. He eulogized Pope Leo and his worg during his long pontificate, and ended with an expression of hope that God will suggest to the sacred college a worthy successor of Leo XIII. After this the members of the diplomatic body kissed the hands of all the cardinals and congratulated Oreglia on the sentiments expressed, and which produced lasting impressions. Fisherman's Ring Lost. When the time came to take the fisherman's ring from Pope Leo's finger, it developed another was found in its place. This did not surprise any one, as generally the pontiff does not wear it. At the first meeting of the congregation of cardinals after the pope's death, when the famous ring should have been broken, the ceremony was omitted and it was put on record the ring for the moment could not be found. The ring has never been seen since September, 1899, when having been lost for some time, it was returned to the pope by an underservant, and was at that time privately hidden away by Pope Leo. So far it has not been discovered, but the vatican authorities assure the Associated Press the ring will undoubtedly be found.

Wilson has confessed to assaulting Mrs. Thomas Burgess, a farmer's wife at Alvan Ills. north of here. Three other negroes have been attacked by a mob and badly beaten. The unknown negro met his fate while the mob was on the way to lynch Wilson. As the angry throng was passing the negro became involved in an altercation with some of its members. They started after him and he pulled a gun firing into the crowd. Henry Gatterman fell mortally wounded and expired in a few seconds. The negro fled but was caught by officers within a block of the scene of the tragedy and hurried to the police station with the mob in hot pursuit temporarily diverted from their march to the county jail. The officers with their prisoner took refuge in the city building barricading themselves behind a door. Negro is Lynched. The mob forced an entrance, secured the prisoner and rushed to the spot wher he had shot Gatterman. A rope was thrown around his neck and he was swung from the nearest telegraph pole. The mob did not delay long, and as soon as they saw that their victim was dead, and leaving him hang, resumed their march to the fail. Burn the Body. Just as a mob was preparing to storm the jail some one suggested that they go back and cut down the dead negro. This suggestion was immediately acted upon. Rushing back to the scene of the lynching the mob cut down the victim and carried the body on the run back to the public square in front of the jail. Hay, store boxes and barrels were collected and the corpse was thrown upon the pile and a torch applied. While the mob's victim was burning several men fired bullets into the flames. Knives were drawn with which the burning corpse was hacked. Ears were chopped off and the feet which protruded from the flames were hacked to pieces. The name of the negro was Mayfield. When the mob had done everything its fury could suggest it surged again to the jail. A fence rail was used as a battering ram against the door. The sheeriff warned the mob to stand back or he would fire, but the warning was unheeded. The guard fired, and several of the mob fell wounded. The Injured. Adam Merry, was fatally shot through the head. H. Hines was shot in the neck and shoulders and may die. Otto Helnke was shot in the arm. Ben Rich, a negro, was badly beaten by the mob. Four unknown negroes were badly injured by the mob, two of them being knocked senseless and found injured in the public square. Patrolman Chas. Lopp was clubbed on the head while defending Mayfield. Patrolman William Leverenz was badly injured internally by the mob's battering ram while defending Mayfield. Fred Lorenz was shot three times in the leg in the attack on the jail and Minnie Bobaker was shot in the leg at the jail. Laird was shot in the attack on the jail. Thos. Bell was shot in the chest in the attack on the jail. Women in the Mob. In the mob are many women. Nearly two hundred men and women from Alven, where the assault on Mrs. Burgess was committed, are active leaders of the mob. The mob has been increased to several thousand, the entire square in front of the jail being packed with shouting men and women. While waiting for the dynamite from Westville, the mob paraded in front of the jail stoning it and firing ADDICKS SUED FOR $100,000 His Holdings in Gas Companies are Attached. Boston, July 29.—Suit today was brought in the supreme court by Doherty and Egan against J. Edw. Addicks for $100,000. Doherty and Egan are opposing the proposed merger of all the Boston companies by the Bay State Gas Co. of Delaware and have attached Addicks' holdings of stock in the Boston, South Boston and Bay State Gas companies. sbots at randam. A message from Himrod, half way to Westville, says that one of the miners on the way to Danville was stopped by citizens sent to intercept him. They took from him a large quantity of dynamite. The other miner is believed to be on the way here. Wilson's Crime. The story of Wilson's crime is that he went to Burgess' farm house while Mrs. Burgess was alone and asked for something to eat. While she was getting it for him it is alleged he seized her. He fled leaving her half dead. Afterward she managed to crawl to the nearest farmhouse where she told her story. I HUNDREDS DIE OF PROSTRATION Soldiers on a Maneuver March Fall by the Wayside. Vienna, July 29.—Detalls from Buda Pest regarding the suffering of the infantry regiment from extraordinary heat during the maneuver march from Trebiney to Bilek last Monday, on which 450 men were prostrated, indicate that the bad handling of the regiment, was largely responsible for the men being overcome. The corps are alleged to have been burdened with extra equipment, in addition to the usual heavy marching order, and were engaged two hours in a sham fight. This necessitated a forced march in the hottest hours of the day. The colonel commanding the regiment refused to grant the request of some of his officers that the soldiers be allowed to rest, though he himself was incapacitated, being obliged to finish the march in a carriage. Fall Out by Scores. Pain Out by Scores. Before reaching Blilek the men fell out of the ranks by scores. Nine died immediately and twenty-two were carried off insensible, six of whom died soon after reaching the hospital. Seventy others are in a serious condition. During the march the thermometer registered 125 degrees in the sun. The captain of the company which was marching, independently ordered a halt and rested his men during the worst of the day and brought his command in without a single prostration. Considerable excitement exists in the civil and military circles over what is termed unjustifiable handling of troops in time of peace. The war office has issued an official statement in which it is declared that every precaution was observed and the death of the men was unavoidable. ROOSEVELT'S NIGHT RIDE Accompanied by His Son He Visits an Ucle at Sawville, L. I. Oyster Bay, July 29.—Shortly after 2 this morning the president, accompanied by his eldest son, Theodore, started from Sagamore Hill on horseback to ride to Sayville, I. I. The president goes to Hayville to visit his uncle, Robert Roosevelt. It was expected that Mrs. Roosevelt might accompany the president, but she was deterred from attempting the long ride of about 30 miles by very unproptitious weather. The president and his son, unaccompained by two secret service officers, left Oyster Bay last night for Sayville by train. The president will spend the day and night with his uncle, leaving for Sagamore Hill on his return ride early tomorrow morning. DIDN'T WANT THE MONEY An Indiana Girl Declines a Fortune of a Quarter Million Dollars. Crown Point, Ind. special.—Because she did not believe she was entitled to the money Helen Gerrish of Lowell to up a deed by which her uncle, Dr. A. A. Gerrish, had turned over to her his entire estate, valued at $250,000. Dr. Gerrish died at Lowell as the result of worry over money matters. He was one of the wealthiest men in this vicinity and his fortune was variously estimated at $200,000 and $300,000. His niece had always been his favorite and the intimates of the doctor had been told by the old man that she would be the heress of his entire estate. This was regarded by them more as the expression of the affection of the old man than as a serious intention on his part. There were six or seven other heirs of the estate, but among them the old doctor's wish was not generally known. SHOT HIS TORMENTOR A Chicago Manufacturer Seriously Wounds a Striker Who Was Jeering Chicago, July 29.—Adolph Epman, a member of the firm of Charles, Epman & Co., mantel manufacturers, angered by the jeers of a crowd of union workmen while he was acting as a guard over nonunion men, shot and seriously wounded Robert Kuter, one of his tormentees today. He was immediately arrested. An Arkansas Planter By OPIE READ Printed by Permission and Copyright 1806 by Rand, McNally & Co. Chicago -- The Latest Frills of Fashion -- -- The Latest Frills of Fashion -- CHAPTER VIII (Continued). "John, you mustn't say that. And why, at this time, should you refer to that old sinner? But let me go on. While I was there the doctor came, and shortly afterward we heard a heavy tread on the flapping boards of the passage-way that divides the to sections of the mold house." "Jim Taylor." said the Major. "Yes, Jim Taylor. Louise jumped up in a flutter. He didn't take any notice of her excitement. 'I heard that you were living here,' he said, 'and knowing what sort of an old place it is, I've come to see if I can be of any use to you.' Here he looked about at the cracks in the walls and the holes in the roof 'And you'll pardon me,' he went on, 'but I took the liberty to bring a carpenter along to patch up things a little. That's him out there at work on the gate' Louise began to cry. He pretended not to notice her. 'It won't take long to make this a very comfortable place,' he went on, 'and I hope you won't feel offended, but I have brought some young chickens and a squirrel or two—in a basket out here in the kitchen. I always was a sort of a neighborly fellow you know.' 'You are the best man in the world,' Louise broke out. No, not in the world, but I reckon I can stand fat-footed and lift with the most of them,' he replied, assuming that he thought she referred to his strength. 'Yes,' he continued, 'and the boys will be here plenty soon with the wagon to haul you some wood. And I hope you'll pardon me again, but nothing would do old Aunt Nan but she must come over to cook for you and help you take care of Mr. Pennington until he gets about again. She's the best cook in the whole country. You know the governor of the state once said that she could beat anybody frying a chicken, and——" "Confound his impudence!" exclaimed the Major, grinding the floor as he wheeled about, "he's performing the office that belongs to me. And I won't stand it." "The offices that did belong to you, dear, but you have washed your hands of them." "Have I? Well, we'll see about that. I'll send over there and have everything put to rights. No, I'll send the carriage and have them brought home. I'll be—I say I won't be made a scape-goat of in this way. Why, confound——" "John." "Yes, I understand, but I won't put up with it any longer. I'll send Tom over there—I'll send the law over there and bring them home under arrest." She shook her head. "No, it will be of no use to send for them. Louise will not come, and you know she won't. Besides, we can make her just as comfortable there as here. It will not be for long, so let her have her own way." "By the blood, she has had it!" "John, have you forgotten that you are a member of the church?" "That's all right. But do you mean by member of the church that I am to draw in my head like a high-land terrapin every time anything is said to me? Am I to be brow-beaten by everybody just because I belong to the church? Oh, it's a happy day for a woman when she can squash her husband with the church. I gad, it seems that all a married woman wants with a church is to hit her husband on the head with it." "John, now you are the echo of old Gid." "I'm not and you know it, but there are times when a man would be excusable for being the echo of the devil. But for gracious sakes don't cry. Enough to make a man butt his head against the wall. Just as a man thinks Jet fringes, jet collars and jetted trimmings of all sorts have, increasing prestige, but chiefly in connection with sheer fabrics. Bright red satin-finish rain coats and waterproof red silk parasols with club handles are swell, and yet practical for coaching in dubious weather. a woman is stronger than a lion she tunes up and cries. There, Margaret, let it all go. There." He put his arm about her. "Everything will come out all right. I am wrong and I confess it. I am bull-headed and as mean as a dog." "No, you are not," she protested, wiping her eyes. "Yes, I am and I see it now. You are always right. And you may manage this affair just as you see fit. Poor little girl. But never mind, it will all come out right. Let us walk down the lane. It is beautiful down there. The frost has painted things up for you; the sumac bushes are flaming and the running briars on the fences are streams of fire. Come on." He took her by the hand and led her away. CHAPTER IX. Within a few days a great change was wrought in the appearance of the old log house. The roof, which had been humped in the middle like the back of a lean, acorn-hunting hog, was straightened and reshinglel; the yard was enclosed with a neat fence; and the stack chimney which had leaned off from the house as if it would fall, was shoved back and held in place with strong iron bands. And the interior was transformed. Soft carpets were spread, easy chairs provided, the rough walls were papered and the windows were curtailed. The fire-light --- THE WIND WAS MOANING IN THE PLUM THICKET fell upon pictures, and a cat had come to take her place at the corner of the hearth; but in the dead of night, when all the birds were hushed, when the wind moaned in the plum thicket, the hollow and distressing cough echoed throughout the house. At evening sorrowful-looking cows would come down the lane, and standing at the gate would low mournfully, an attention which they ever seek to pay a dismal place, but Jim Taylor entered a complaint, threatened violence and finally compelled their owners to have them driven home before the arrival of their time for lonesome lowing. It was Jim's custom to call at morning and at evening. Sometimes, after looking about the place, he would merely come to the door and ask after Mr. Pennington and then go away. One morning when Louise answered his tap at the door, she told him that the sufferer was much better and that she believed he was going to get well. "I'm mighty glad to hear it," he replied. "The doctors can't always tell." "Won't you come in?" "No, I might worry him." "Oh, not in the least. He's asleep anyway, and I'm ionosome. Come in, please." He followed her into the house, trying to lessen his weight as if he were walking on thin ice; and the old house cracked its knuckles, but his footfall made not a sound. She placed a chair for him and sat down with her hands in his lap, and how expressive they were, small and thin, but shapely. She was pale and neat in a black gown. To him she had never looked so frail, and her eyes had never looked so deeply blue, but her hands—he could not keep his eyes off them—one holding pity and the other full of appeal. Blue velling, blue canvaas etamine and all such materials were never more popular than now, and the myraid shades of blue are bewildering. Pongee petticoats will outwear petticoats of any other silk, and by the use of many ruffles, satisfactory body around the feet may be given. "Don't you need a little more wood en?" he asked. "No, it isn't cold enough for much fire." "Where did you get that cat?" "Where did you get that cat?" "She came crying around the other day and I let her in, and she has made herself at home." "The negroes say it's good luck for a cat to come to the house." She sighed. "It don't believe in luck." "I do. I believe in bad luck, for it's generally with me. Does your mother come every day?" "Yes, although I beg her not to." "I reckon she'll do about what she wants to. Has the Major——" She held up her hands and she sat looking at her with his mouth half open. At the risk of offending her, he added: "I didn't konw but he might have come over." "He would, but I won't let him." "And do you think it's exactly right not to let him?" "I think it's exactly right to do as a something within me dictates," she answered. "He placed me in a certain position——" "But he is more than willing to take you out of it," Taylor broke in. "He doesn't want yo uto remain in that position." "No, he can't take me out of it. He charged me with ingratitude, and I would rather he would have driven me off the place. Nothing can be much crueler than to remind one of ingratitude; it is like shooting from behind a rock; it is having one completely at your mercy." Now she sat leaning forward with her hands clasped over her knee. Pennington coughed slightly in his sleep and she looked toward the bed. She straightened up and put the hair back out of her eyes and Taylor followed the motion of her hand. "Did he eat the squirrel " "Yes, and enjoyed it." The cat got up, stretched, and rubbing against the tongs, knocked them down with a clatter. Pennington awoke. Louise was beside him in a moment. "Ah, it's you, Mr. Taylor, he said. "Yes, but it wasn't me that made the noise." "Oh, it didn't disturb me, I assure you. I was just about waking up anyway. That will do, thank you." Louise had begun to arrange the pillows. "I'll sit up. See how strong I am. Give me a pipe. I believe I can smoke a little." She went to fill a pipe for him, and turning to Taylor, he said: "I'm getting stronger now every day; good appetite, sleep first-rate. And I'll be able to walk about pretty soon. Oh, they had me dead, you know, but I knew better all the time." Louise placed a coal upon his pipe and handed it to him. She said that she was afraid that it might make him cough, but it did not. "I have always maintained that there was nothing the matter the matter with my lungs," he said, contentedly blowing rings of smoke. "Why, I hadn't a symptom of consumption except the cough, and that's about gone. And my prospects were never better than they are this minute. Received a letter yesterday from over in Alabama —want me to take a professorship in a college. The first thing you know I shall have charge of the entire institution. And when I get up in the world I want it understood, Mr. Taylor, that I shall never forget you. Your kindness——" "Don't speak of it," Taylor put in, holding up his hand in imitation of Louise. "I've known this little lady, sir, all her life, and I'd be a brute to forget her in time of trouble." "You are a true-hearted man, Mr. Taylor, and I shall never forget you, sir." And after a short silence, he added: "All I desire is a chance, for with it, I can make Louise happy. I need but little money, I should not know how to disport a large fortune, but I do desire a comfortable home with pictures and books. And I thank the Lord that I appreciate the refinement of this life." In silence he spoke, looking up at the rings. "Ah, but it was dark for me a short time ago, Mr. Taylor. They made me believe that I was going to die. We hear a great deal of resignation, of Bead work has become the rage. Long chains of all sorts, bags and belts, have been popular since early spring, and now stunning parasol handles covered with woven bead work are shown. Already prophecies of fall modes are heard, and there is a distinct rumor that Directoire ideas will have great vogue. We have tried modest gauntlets and fichus, but the pointed revers, the high hat crowns, etc., are still in the air. man who welcome the approach of death, but I was in despair. And looking upon a strong man, a man whose strength was thrown upon him, a man who had never thought to take even the slightest care of himself, I was torn with blasphemous rage. It wasn't right. But thank God, I lived through that dark period, and am now getting well. Don't you think so?" "Why, yes, I can see it. And I'll tell you what we'll do: I'll bring over the dogs pretty soon and we'll go hunting. How does that strike you?" Pennington propped himself higher in the bed and put his pipe on a crain. "It has been a long time since I went hunting," he said, musingly. "It seems a long time since I have done anything, except to brood over my failing health. But I will have no more of that. Yes, I will go hunting with you." He shoved up the sleeve of his shirt and called his wife's attention. "Don't you think I'm getting more flesh on my arm? Look here. No dying man has this much muscle. Louise, I'm going to get up. There is really no use of my lying here." He threw off the covers and the giant arose and stood looking upon him, smiling sadly. He asked for his clothes, and when Louise had brought them he picked at a worn spot and said: "I must get some clothes with the first money I earn. I didn't know that this coat was so far gone; and the trousers are not much better. Let a man get sick and he feels that the world is against him; let him get well and wear poor clothes, and he will find that the world doesn't think enough of him to set itself against him—find that the world does not know him at all." Taylor ventured upon the raveled platitude that clothes do not make the man. Pennington shook his head, still examining his trousers. "That will do in a copy book, but not in life," said he. And then looking up as Taylor moved toward the door, he asked: "Are you going?" "Yes, I must get back to see how things are getting along. Be over again tomorrow." Louise went with him out into the passage. He halted at the log step and stood there, looking at her. "Mr. Taylor, I can never forget your kindness," she said. "All right, but I hope you won't remember to mention it again." He looked at her hands, looked into her eyes; and frankly she returned his gaze, for it was a gaze long and questioning. "Your friendship——" he held up his hand to stop her. "Won't you let me speak of that, either?" "You may speak of it, but you know that it does not exist," he answered, leaning against a corner of the house, still looking at her. "But you don't mean that you are not my friend?" "I mean what I told you some time ago—that there can be no friendship between a big man and a little woman." "Oh, I had forgotten that." "No, you hadn't; you thought of it just then as you spoke." "Why, Mr. Taylor, how can you say that?" "I can say it because it is true. No, there can be no friendship between us." "You surely don't mean that there can be anything else." She had drawn back from him and was stiffly erect with her arms folded, her head high; and so narrow was the hard look she gave him that her eyes appeared smaller. Her lips were so tightly compressed that dimples showed in her cheeks; and thus with nature's soft relics of babyhood, she denied her own resentment. "On your part I don't presume that there can be anything else," he answered, speaking the words slowly, as if he would weigh them one at a time on the tip of his tongue. "You may LOOK AT THAT think of me as you please, as circumstances now compel you to think, and I will think of you not as I please, but as I must." The man who invented the cork-screw was ashamed to have his name connected with it.—Chicago Record-Herald. Fringes are, it is said, to be more popular than ever in the autumn. A narrow raveled fringe of silk used with a piping of the same silk is a new fancy, and a cut fringe of cloth trims some of the new cloths and mantles. The fichu mantle and the Empire scarf are the extreme of summer fashion, but their adjustment is a fine art, and few women wear them well. The Empire scarf in embroidered lawn is one of the latest and quaintest revivals.

There is something very motherly and sympathetic in the way that nature works and repairs damages wrought by fire, flood, wind and wreck or the destructive work of man. Here is a great gravel pit, a yawning chasm left as testimony to the progress of the age by a railway company—an unsightly, unseless thing, but nature uses the winds to sweep into the crater the fugitive debris of the fields and the vagrant leaves, and the waters of the summer storms, stealing from more fertile lands, gives the sterile sand and gravel a coating of humus and fertility and the cottonwood fugitive seed drifting in the June breeze finds here a congenial resting place, and, lo, in a few years the unsightly scar has become a pretty grove, while woodbine, clematis, blackberry and elder bush come through alld of bird and wind to form an artistic border for the regenerated gravel pit. Or here is a fire scar, the legacy of a forest horror, when the very earth was calcined in the furnace of flame as it passed over, all vegetable life absolutely annihilated in its path; yet somehow the winds and the birds and the rains are soon at work, and here is soon seen a little feathery pine or quivering aspen tip and there a delicate spear of timothy or sturdy woodbine peeping up at the foot of the old charred stump, and with the passing of a few years there is nothing left to tell of the cataclysm of flame save the ghostly pillar of a blackened and seared tree trunk here and there. Or let man strip a hillside of its forest covering and, rooting the field over year after year with his crops of cotton and grain and taking from its soil its last vestige of fertility, abandon it. How quickly will nature make the effort to repair the damage! First, grasses or flowers, then trees, then restoration—no place so high or low or hidden or exposed, made unlovely and unproductive by element strife or man's rapacity, but some form of life will nature find with which to repair the damage and tenderly cover the scar.

The boys and girls will find it interesting to watch the fowls in the yard and study their queer and most significant language. There is the early morning call of the rooster—a sort of signal service between separated homesteads, answered back and forth by rival heads of hares, which may be interpreted to mean that "all's well at our house." Then there is the rooster's call of defiance to his rival just over in the next yard, and his victorious crow from the top of the fence post when he has whipped the other rooster to a finish. Then there is his guttural invitation to the hens when sometimes he has a tidbit for the first one on hand and quite often not, the hens responding promptly to the call notwithstanding the unreliable character of the invitation. Then there is the hen's cackle when she has laid a nice, fresh egg, her monotonous "cluck" when she is incubating, her protesting notes when meddled with when so engaged, her motherly crooning to the little ones as they push up under her protecting wings, her cheery call to the chicks when she has found a succulent and tender grub for them, and, perhaps most striking of all, her note of warning as some predatory hawk is seen far up in the air, when every chick runs for cover even the first time it hears it. We know some men who keep themselves poor just moving around, an uneasy, discontented, dissatisfied lot, always thinking they can be made easier, where they will find better neighbors and enjoy life better. Where the move involves the disposal of a farm and its belongings and the usual loss of a crop year it will cost $1,000 or more to move. It often happens that this much money put into improvements and betterments at the old place would make it just the place they want. It is a good thing that things are so fixed that a man can make just about as much money in one place as another. Cheap milk can only be produced from good cows and good feed. If it costs more to get a quart of milk from a cow than it is worth, what is the use of keeping the cow? When a lady takes boarders she takes them not for their Christian example or for their society, but to try and make a little profit from feeding them. When a man keeps a cow he is supposed to try to do the same thing, but it is only too true that many of his boarders do not pay their way and afford him no profit. The man who is delinquent in his board bill gets fired, and the cow should likewise. Where a man can raise alfalfa and can get the pigs, cows and bens to work in connection with the alfalfa he has got about as certain and profitable a business combination as we know of. Twenty acres under this plan are better than forty acres in corn. Seven sows and twenty-one pigs weighed and turned in on two acres of alfalfa and fed a light corn and situation were again weighed at the end of thirty days and showed a gain in value at the currant price of pork of $18.01. This was in Nebraska. Pedigree and individual merit must ever be closely associated in the selection of breeding of any kind if the best results are to be obtained. Pedigree without individual merit is expecting too much of ancestry and the law of heredity. Merit without pedigree is a three card monte game. If one has a moist and shaded location the dewberry may often be grown successfully where the blackberry will utterly fall, and the dewberry is a better berry than the blackberry anyhow. When a crop of growing grain on the hillsides look yellow it shows a lack of nitrogen in the soil. When the crop on low and wet lands looks yellow it may be charged to imperfect subsol drainage. --- Copyrighted 1903 and Prepared SPECIALLY FOR THIS PAPER and sympathetic in the way that brought by fire, flood, wind and Here is a great gravel pit, a yawn-progress of the age by a railway but nature uses the winds to sweep the fields and the vagrant leaves, stealing from more fertile lands, boating of humus and fertility and in the June breeze finds here a few years the unsightly scar has the clematis, blackberry and elder wind to form an artistic border for a fire scar, the legacy of a forestlined in the furnace of flame as it only annihilated in its path; yet some rains are soon at work, and here is uplivering aspen tip and there a delibine peeping up at the foot of the rug of a few years there is nothing to save the ghostly pillar of a black-there.

Through much of the wet territory adequate systems of drainage can only be secured by cooperative effort, frequently including many farms. There are difficulties in the way of these co-operative drainage enterprises, a case in point being where one farmer preferred to have a meadow on his farm periodically overflowed because he thereby obtained a large crop of grass. Eleven rows of strawberries seven rods long gave us this year a bushel of berries a day for three weeks. The bed cost but a trifle to plant and care for and is good for another crop next year. As soon as the fruiting season was over the bed was mown close with a scythe and the rubbish raked off and burned. Then it was thoroughly worked with a horse cultivator, all except a strip one foot wide in each row, which was left to furnish a new growth of plants. The cultivator will go through the bed two or three times more before fall. A lady friend who raises much poultry tells us that she has been bothered this season very much with the crows catching her young chickens. She lives near some heavy timber in which the crows nested, and these black pests found out, unfortunately for our friend, that young chicks were good food for the young crows. As an ornamental and hardy climber too much cannot be said in favor of the Crimson Rambler rose. It is a hundred times more attractive than the old Prairie Queen. In the north it needs protection during the winter. The loss by flood on the potato crop in Kansas and Missouri is very great. In the Kaw Valley in Kansas the estimated loss is 4,000 car loads. One farmer in the state of Iowa will breed 800 Poland-China sows next fall and expects to raise 4,000 pigs. Good roads are to a community what good clothes are to a man. People have a craving for greens in the spring and are sometimes careless in what they gather to put in the pot, as was one woman out west who tried the broad leaves of the pieplant, which contained enough poison to kill her. Men have not the native instinct of animals in the selection of green foods. --- RUFUS L, LOGAN, B.S.D. = EDITOR TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.

TWO SONNETS, eae eee From youth's bright opening hour of morning gold, ‘One purpose moved me steady and serene: ‘To wait 'till all the deeper gifts unfold, And make me master of a fair demesne ‘To dwell in peace with people's manifold ‘To lay an open ear to nature's wold, And catch all sounds unheard, aif sights unseen, ‘So weave them in a wreath of glory green: ‘One purpose deep grew sacred with the years, Was sou! of life, of all my dreams apart ‘To make a little song serene and calm ‘Po live ‘mong men, thro” snany doubts and fears A life; men ponder in their seeret heart Love uninersal—life's supremest balm 0 Years sped, as only years of chitdhood speed, In study, dream aud song, and hours afield With open heart, I passed no human need Of love unnoticed; my lite was sword and shietd For truth, opposed by dark inhuman greed No hearth, however low or humble breed But which my heart was large enough to yield A little room of love to its appeal So living thus, nor was forgotten quite, Youth's morning hope to nurture every gift A tanght men by my life as beacon light, Hed them higher in my steps uplift, fought the fight of truth against the wrong, And all unconscious gained the peaks of song. $$ Wuat has become of the rail- roads through Columbia.

Tue Negro State Leagues are to meet next week. Just how many negro leagues there are in Missouri noone can tell. St. Louis has one, Kansas City one, Sedalia has one and St. Joseph has a piece of one, All put together might or might not make one. ‘They pre- vailed on state chairman Akins tor transportation to the meetings in August to be held in Springfield and Sedalia. But the dark horse for governor stated that the ‘rail. roads’’did not care to issue any transportation for ‘colored men.” The fact of the whole matter is the negro state league is a thing of the past and the sensible thing to be done is to organize a state league by citizens of the state and let it be composed of negroes of the en: tire state and not a few negroes in a certain locality get together and put themselves into office with view to grafting during politica campaigns. WELL, DID YOU EVEK? Yorng man, did you ever put your arms around your dear old mother who has loved and cared for you and tell her that you love her and are grateful for the tears she has shed and the prayers she has offered for you? She may think that you love her without you assuring her that you do, but it costs you but little effort to tell her and your words may bring more joy and sunshine to her heart than you ever dreamed of. Some young men will pay two dollars for alivery rig three hours with a seventy-five cent girl and tell her all the nice things they can think of that are true and more that are not true, and don’t spend five cents or five minutes ina year to show their old mother that they care any thing for her.—Ex. THE CROPS IN JULY. climate and crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Missouri section, tor the week ending July 27, 1903. The mean temperature of the week just closed differed but little from the uormal. There was a high percentage of sunshine and the days were quite warm, but the nights have been moderately cool. Showers were quite general over the State on the 2ist, 22nd, 23rd, but the rainfall was very unevenly distributed, downpours of 3 to 5 inches occurring in some localities in the southern and west-central counties, while im many counties there was less than half an inch, Very severe wind and hail storms occurred in a number of the west- central and northwestern counties, and also in Laclede, Wright, Texas, Douglas and Howell counties, de- | stroying considerable corn and fruit aud greatly {damaging hay and grain stacks. In a few of the southern counties the rains have ‘ster seriously with haying and threshing and made the ground too wet for cultivation, but over a large portion of the state the soil is becoming very dry and more | rain is greatly needed. | Where good showers have fallen corn is making excellent progress, but in many counties it is greatly in need of rain and in a few of the southwestern counties is being seriously injured by the drouth, ¢ tew correspondents reporting it damaged one-fourth to one-half. The crop is very uneven, some of the earliest in the southern coun. ties being now in the roasting-ear stage while there are many fields that have not yet been laid by. Replanted corn on overflowed ian is generally doing finely jthongh in some of the eastern counties it is being injured by chinch bugs and in others it is suffering from lack of cultivation. Much corn is tasseling low and the outlook for the crop, asa whole, is somewhat less promising than j at the close of the preceeding week, lowing to the continued dry weath. jer, but good rains within a few jdays would ease a marked im- | provement, Cotton, in the south- | eastern counties, is generally mak- ing good progress and is fruiting well. Millet, cow-peas and sorghum are also doing well in most aec- tions. Melons are reported as [doing well in Dunklin county, but in portions of Scott county the crop will be light. Cantaloupes look well in Oregon county, Gar. dens are drying up badly in some Hoealities and potatoes have alsc leuffered considerably from the |drouth in some districts. Tobacec is generally doing uively. Pastures continue in good condition in most sections, butin some counties are becoming dry and short. Haying is practically completed in many | counties and an excellent crop ha: been secured. A good seed croy of clover is promised in mos sections, The threshing of whea and oats continues with disappoint ing yields in most counties, Plow ing for fall seeding has begun 1 the southern sections, but in som localities the ground is too dry As a result of damage by wind it some localities and persistent drop ping in others apples have suffered a further decline, Grapes are rot [ting badly ina tew localities bu ‘are generally doing well. ‘Th blackberry crop has been consider ably shortened by dry weather it some districts but in most sections AGM i a Ae a MEE EF YSIS BE OV SSIVE. | The Grand Lodge of Missouri was called to order yesterday morn- ing in the court honse by A, W. ‘Lloyd, G, C. The Grand Court of Calanthe or Pythian sisters met with the Grand Lodge in open session. Mayor Dingle was to have delivered the welcome ad- dress, but being unable to attend in persou, was duly represented by Mr. F. G. Ferris, who extended a cordial welcome to the Grend Lodge delegates in very fitting and friendly remarks assuring the vis- itors that they were perfectly wel- come to the hospitalities of the yoo people of Moberly. He com- mended the race for the marked progress which it has made during the past quarter of a century of freedom. The address was re- sponded to by Prof. D. E. Gordon, of St. Lonis, in a very appropriate speech, Addresses were made by several delegates—-ladies and gentlomen— Miss Arsania Williams, « delegate from St. Louis, made the address of the morning in her greetings from the ‘Sisters.’ Musie was furnished by a Pyth- ian Quartette from Paris. The G. C. appointed committee on creden- tials and returns, and time of meet- ing, after which the Grand Lodge adjourned until 7 o'clock p. m., at which time the formal opening took place. There are about 125 delegates and visitors in attendance, among whom are the leading educators and professional men and women of the race in Missouri, The Grand Lodge well will be in session three days. G. C. Lloyd read his annual message, which was an able, com- prehensive and scholarly docu- ment; it was received and referred to the proper committee. Next followed the reports of G. K. R. and 8. and G. M. of Ex., showing total receipts for the year $1,486.80; disbursements $370.70 ; balance in hands of G. M. of Ex., $1,106.10. The secretary-treasurer of endowment has received to date between $6,000 and $7,000, with a balance on hands of $5,000. The report of the Grand Lectur- er was a very instructive and in- teresting one and showed the subor- dinate lodges in excellent condi- tion, the majority of them having good bauk accounts and many of them owning their own halls. ‘The report of the committee on Foreign Correspondence by the chairman, B. J. Caruthers, showed that the colored Knights of Pythius is permanently founded in nearly every state in the Union, S. A., Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the Hawaiian Islands and is destined to lead all other organiza- tions among the race, Missouri has had an increase of 1000 mem- bers this year.—Moberly Demo- crat.
