Not election majorities, bat such as interest the
great army of American producers. Twenty-Five
years ago the eight counties of Missouri now ira
versed by the Old Reliable Hannibal & st. Joseph
Railroad were nearly a wilderness To-day, by a
late census, 1t is discovered that these counties
produce over one, fourteenth of the entire wheat
crop of the State over onettUeLh of the corn crop
and over one.TiRth of the oats, The same growth

A HEAVY LoAD.--On Wednesday of last week
Johnny Hossler the boss teamster, with six
horse team and one of Nighmans heavy coal Wag-
ons, hauled load of coal from Eph Richards
bank, about six miles southwest of town, that
was a sight to see. There were two hundred and
one bushels on the wagon, and the whole thing
made the city scales screech to the tune of eight
tons and two hundred and sixty pounds over.
There are several big hills to climb from the panK
to town, but that made no difference; and when
the load passed onto the small bridge near Kay
nold's dam, there was imminent danger OF "a oreak
down. The roads too had begun to break up ana
were not as good as they had been. Johnny says
that same team will bring in 275 bushels as soon
as the roads become good.

Melcher, lett her home on Liberty street and
went to school. At noon she returned, feeling
very badly. subsequently she was taken with vi.
olent vomiting and other serious symptoms, and
at IL o'clock the same night she died About the
time of the little girls death younger brother
was attacked with the same symptoms, but is now
out Of danger, we are informed. 1t was thought
that perhaps this was a case Of poisoning, from
having eaten painted candy but close inVestiga'

There was happy young couple out for an af-
ternoon promenade on South Market street last
Sunday afternoon. In the mutual attraction
which the presence of each lent to the other they
must have been oblivious to all ordinary mat
ters, and certainly did not notice hungry-eye
tramp who walked suspiciousy behind them, un'
til after they had parted, when the tramp mod
estly accosted the young man and presented him
with his girls back hair which the aforesaid
tramp had picked up on the sidewalk some time
before. The young man probably felt more like
giving the tramp solid kick than rewarding
him with nickel

The New York papers, particularly the Herald
are making war upon those venomous household
pets, Spitz dogs. Many instances are shown
where men, women and children, have died
from hydrophobia, caused by the bites of these
dogs. Hydrophobia results in almost every case,
whether the dog is rabid or not, and 1t seems as
though one might as well have a rattlesnake for a
pet as a spitz dog. There are number of this
class of dogs in Canton, and we write this as a
warning, though it may do no good until after we
have had case Of hydrophobia in our midst.
