that they all know the story of the

the stamp department have suffer

Every postal card they have sold
has drawn it out. One man leans
on the window, and tells it every

HOLD YOUR WHEAT.

The Farmers Union, published
at st. Paul, gives the following
advice to the wheat growers of
Minnesota. 1t is equally good for
Kansas:
From all the information which
can be gathered, both from our ex-
changes and the dealers at home,
it is pretty certain that the price
of wheat will continue to advance
until it has at least reached its old
figures before the panic. This be-
lief is based on the fact that for the
first time in many years there is
short crop in England, France and
other sections of Europe, and the
demand for grain and flour from
the United States will be positive
necessity on the part of those
countries, as the remaining wheat
producing sections will be unable
to supply the deficiency. There
has every year been more or less
talk about "foreign demand, which
had no foundation, but now it ap-
pears to be based ON something
substantial.
A great many predict that wheat
will be a dollar and half 8 bush
ell before another harvest. One
thing is safe to say, that it will
certainly be worth more than
eighty cents bushel, and, unless
debts are too pressing, it is advis-
able to hold on for a while yet be-
fore selling.
The principal obstacle in the
way now that we see, is, that when
prices do advance, grain will be
rushed in SO fast as to glut the
railroads and elevators and pro-
duce a decline in price again. This
cannot be permanent, however, for
there must be steady and con
slant demand for export till an
other harvest.

The HAY CRoP.-The hay crop
OF Kansas is and will continue to
be one of the most valuable that
the State produces. 1t has been
selling this fall at from three to
i've dollars per ton in this market.
With hay presses in use and rea-
sonable and just transportation
rates, the surplus hay in Kansas
to-day for sale, would almost, If
not quite pay her taxes. Give us
New England and a New Orleans
market for Kansas hay and the
live cash it would put in circula-
ton would surprise the most cred
ulous.
The hop crop of the New Eng
land States would seem to be
with them as important a staple as
the cotton crop is to the Southern
States. The crop of Maine this
year is worth as much in the Bos.
ton and New York markets as the
cotton crop of Georgia. The
yield is not less than I,6OO,O 900
tons. 1t sells to-day in Boston a
thirty dollars a ton, which amounts
to the princely sum OF $4S, 0OO, 600
The cotton crop of Georgia Thu
year is estimated at Coo, 900 bale
at four hundred pounds each
This, at twenty cents a pound
wodld also bring in the Bosto
market $4S,OOO,O0O. - Lawrenc

A SECRET TREASURE.
A thousand Dollars in Gold Discover.
ed in the Wall Of . SaIseA.

The Kansas City Times is
responsible for the following
little story:
On the west side of the street
leading down from the Bluffs street
bridge to the Union depot in Kan
sas City, stands q small frame
house, which, before the street
was graded up, stood upon props
or stills. It is called the Texas
and Colorado saloon" This
house has had board nailed upon
it for some time, upon which was
painted blouse and Furniture for
sale" A few days ago stranger
entered the house, and after a
brief conversation with Louis
Mezzadre, the old Frenchman own
ing the saloon, concluded the pur-
chase, and yesterday called upon
the proprietor to consummate the
trade. The terms of the trade
were these.
The purchaser Mr.. Clew, was to
pay Mezzadre 500 in cash for the
house and all it contained, with
the exception of Mezzadre's trunk
and his clothing. This agree
ment was repeated over in the
presence of Witnesses and the sale
effected, and the money paid over.
1t was now that the strange and
singular part of the transaction
took place. The owner asked for
hacthet, and before any one
could imagine what he was about
to do, he walked to a certain place
in the wall, known only to himself,
and proceeded to chop away the
plastering, and in a short time
dragged from behind the broken
lath and plaster a bag of gold con-
tanning $1,000. Before the crowd
present could realize what was the
matter, or how this strange dis
covery could have been made, the
strange man had got on board the
eastern bound North Missouri
train, then leaving the depot, and
started east. The question nat
urally suggests itself, whose mon
ey was it, The mans who sold
or the mans who purchased the
house? Who put it there, and
how did the stranger know it? 1t
is one of the most singular trans
actions in real estate ever brought
to public notice in Kansas City.
Since the above was written it
has been discovered that the old
Frenchman had gold and silver
sufficient slowed away In a keg
beneath the house to purchase the
finest residence in Kansas City.
An old servant states that the old
miser had brought this gold and
silver with him from Texas, where
he had accumulated it suddenly
and in a most mysterious manner.
Some say he obtained it on the
Mexican frontier, others say it
was the result of several years
trading among the Indians. But
wherever he obtained it he sue
ceeded in keeping his treasure a
secret, and paid taxes on none of
it. He is now on his way to
France.

THE ANTI-BALD HEADED HAT.
-Krickbaum read somewhere that
Dio Lewis advised men with ten
dency to become bald to have
holes punched in the top of their
hats. And SO when Krickbaum
purchased his new winter hat he
had small sheet-iron plate per-
forated with large holes, and set
in the crown. That was on Tues
day. On Wednesday Mrs. Krick-
baum got new hired girl, who
saw the hat on the chair in the
dining-room, and imagining it to
be q patent colander OF some new
kind, she removed it to the kitch-
en-. When Mrs. Krickbaum came
down stairs at noon to see how
dinner was getting on, she found
the girl straining boiled cabbage
through the iron ventillater in
Krickbaum's high hat, and swear
ing In the Ballybugden dialect be-
cause the holes were so large and
the colander SO timber. That
night, when Kriekbaum wanted to

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE INDUSTRIAL PLAN
or
Life Insurance.

INDUSTRIAL life insurance has long
flourished in Europe. A single
English company, in 1872, Issued over
700 policies upon the Industrial plan,
thus showing the great demsnd for such
insurance. The system as there Dracticed,
of weekly and monthly payments, is not
practicable with the more scattered and
transient popul alton of this country. In
the system now presented by the Missou-
ri Valley Life Insurance company, this
objection Is obv!sted, and plan onered
peculiarly adapted to all persons desiring
insurance in small amounts, with but
few terms and conditions; also to lodges
and societies paying funeral benefits, or
otherwise having an insurable interest on
the lives of their members.
The Industrial policies issued by the
Missouri Valley Life Insurance company
are of the size and form of 4 one hundred
dollar greenback; are each one hundred
dollars IN amount, the premiums for
which are paid semi-annually, in sums to
bring them within the reach or all class
es; each of whom may take one or more
policies, as he may be able to pay for, and
il he cannot, when the next payment
falls due. pay for ali ne holds, he may pay
on portion of them, and not, as in Ordi-
nary life insurance, lose the whole.
The Cost Of these Policies
is two dollars for the first payment and
one dollar >eiui-auuually thereafter, as
long as the policy may continue in force,
it being limited according to age. Those
at 80 or under, during Hfe-those over 60,
to ages corresponding with the tables OF
mortality. To this is to be added the
medical examiners fee, usually one dol
lar each Parties over 80 years of age
may pay an increased premium and have
their insurance continue during life.
Should the party fail to be examined, or
be declined by the company, the policy
will continue in force for two years, as
an insurance against death by accident
only. These policies are bound in books
of frsm ten to one hundred each, and a
condensed and simple form of application
Is bound between each policy. The ap-
plication should be filled up and signed
by the agent and applicant, and forward
ell Immediately to the Home office. The
applicant can be examined at any of the
offices of the company, or by any medical
examiner of the company. A policy and
blank application will be sent to any adj
will insure the party against death from
accident only, until accepted by the COM
pany, according to the terms of the pol
