Rich SpeeuIatiOns.

A brakeman on Western railroad
placed $50 in combination, which re-
turned profit of 81 per cent, equal to
1887 80 per 100 shares, netting profit
of Sl93 70, in addition to the $50 he
invested. "A conductor made 81, l76 "a.
in two combinations. The superintend-
ent of an Eastern railway made $780,
2l0 l3 in three combinations. Others
have also made large profits. This sys-
TEN of stock speculations consolidates
the interests of thousands into one
whole, dividing the profits pro rata
every thirty days. The combinations
handled with the best skill and expert
ence, attain great success in the stock
market. From $25 to Sl0,0 900 can thus
be invested with vast advantages. The

Strong gusts of wind blew here at
intervals last night, and it looked as if
a heavy shower was going to fall, as the
sky was clouded and a few peals of
thunder were heard. 1t did not rain,
however and so far as we can learn no
damage was done by the wind here
abouts. At Mill City there. was a regu-
lar tornado for awhile. j. w. Brown,
who came up this morning, says piece
of casting, the rim of an amalgamating
pan, was blown from the foundry and
carried by the fonee of the wind Through
a strong picket fence, about sixty yards
from the foundry.

The late Grand Jury suggested that
the courtroom, the acoustic properties
ofwhich have never been good, and the

the room and report plans for changing
or improving it. That committee re-
ports in favor of the following altera-
tiens: That the bar be removed to the
southeast end of the room, and that
the Judges bench be placed between
the windows in that end of the room;
that the present cumbersome bar be
replaced by smaller one not more than
three feet wide; that platform six
inches high be put in front of the
Judges stand for the Clerk and for a
witness seat at the end next the jury;
that raised seats in circular form be
placed to the right of Judges stand for
trial Jurors; that railing be put clear
across the room from the enhance door
to the opposite wall, with o,epenings
in the same. The committee also
recommend that the stoves be changed
and that the floor be carpeted. Il now

COUNTY DEBTS IN MISSOURI,

From the st. Louis Republican,
The Jefferson City State Journal has
compiled a statement showing the az
gregate Indebtedness of the counties,
townships and cities OF this state. 1t
does not pretend that the statement is
absolutely correct, but thinks 1t will be
found approximately so, as in most in
stances the information has been OBJ
tanned from official sources. The aeqre-
gate is $40, 500, 800. Next to St. Louis
Jackson county owes the largest debt,
$1,371. 600; next comes Lafayette, with
$1.2l5,871; then Howard, with $780,
600; Pettis, with 1887, 900; Henry. with
1898. 900; Galloway, with 1854, 800;
Cooper. with $4,000 Buchanan, with
$458 900; Boone. with $4s7, 900; Frank.
lin, with $346. 900; Davies, 1914, 500;
Greene, with 1927 900; Dade, with
1920. 600; Clay, with $268, 900, and
other counties with smaller amounts.
There are twenty-one counties with no
bonded debt at all-Barry, Bollinger,
Carroll, Carter. Cedar. DeKalb, Dunk
lin. Gasconade. Harrison. Hickory,
Holt, Iron, Miller. Mississippi, Moni-
teau. Newton. Usage, st. Francois, St.
Louis. Scott and Stone.
We have reason for believing that
this statement is unreliable as q whole.
1t takes the statements of municipal OBJ
legations IS returned to the state audi
tors office several years ago, and does
not recognize the notifications made by
the refunding processes that have been
going on in the last three years, by
which the debts OF many counties, nota-
bly, Lafayette and Galloway, have been
materially reduced.

"A s%OOUNDRELLY TRICK"
from the jefferson City journal, Rep.I

From the jefferson City journal, Rep.I
We have always regarded the Lexing-
ton, Mo-, Intelligencer as a liberal, fair
minded paper. and must say we were
much surprised when we found it
charged with giving emphatic utterance
to sentiments greatly at variance to
those of our notions of a paper OF that
class. We were aware OF the extreme
democracy OF the paper, but had never
considered it extreme in its f~oolishness
in this respect. We looked upon it as
satisfied with its exhibition of the milder
form of that folly which any democracy
of modern date must needs manifest.
Seeing 1t charged with over stepping
the bounds of common political fairness,
as we'll as ordinary sound sense. as we
did. we supposed it had been betrayed
into a declaration of the intolerance
some of its partlsans no doubt feel.
But. while we are sorry our good
opinion. slightly qualified, was inter-
rupted, we are glad to find the lntelli-
gencer able and willing to vlndleate it
self from fhe aspersion cast upon both
its liberality of sentiment and good
sense.
Publishing, as we did, the article from
the Times-Journal, in which the charge
of politi : | intolerance was made at the
expense of the Intelligencer, we cheer
fully. nay eagerly. publish Its vindica-
tion-with the remark, by way of pref
ace, that the person guilty of the base
forgery for the malicious purpose OF mis-
representing not only the Intelligencer,
but the great mass OF Mlssourl's citl-
zens, should be discovered and held up
to the scorn and indignation of all good
friends of the fair name and prosperity
of the state. There is no doubt but
there are In Missouri, as there are else
where, those who are intolerant of the
contradictory opinions of others. But
the great mass of the people Of Missouri
the good of the state at heart, and
stand ready to strike hands with people
any political creed in any movement
which their reason teaches them will be
the states advantage.

Mr.. Eugene Field, OF the Times-Jour-
nal. says in his nonpareil column; 1.-The
Lexington Intelligencer is In favor of
Cockrell's reelection as U. S. senator.
1t also defends the state treasury defalca-
ton. Cockrell says that treasury affair
was a robbery. Perhaps the Intelligent
Ger will explain by what arithmetical
hocus-pocus it maks 5 out of 9 and g"
The first proposition Is correct; we are
for Cockrell, and he will be reelected,
too. even if Mr.. Eugene and his specta-
cled friend, Carl Schurz, did come to
Lexington once to annihilate him. The
second proposition is wrong. The In
docs not defend the treasury
1t believes there was a de-
liberate swindle in the matter, by a GER
tain set of bankers, who ought to be in
the ~penitentiary. We agree with Gen.
Gockrell that these men robbed the
treasury. We never try to make s out
Of 2 and 2. We leave that kind of
hing to gentlemen who have "next
mornings" We are never troubled
that Way.

MISSOURI GETS HER SHARE,
From Colman's Rural World.l

The American Pathological Conven-
ton was held at Rochester, New York,
last week. Fruit was exhibited by va
rious states, but it was admitted by all
that, in size, color and quality, the fruit
shown from Missouri surpassed any on
exhibition. Three OF the Wilder medals
were awarded to the Missouri State
Horticultural Society on the fruits ex.
hiblted by that society. The first medal
was for the largest and best collection
oil fruits exhibited by any society. The
second medal was for the best display
oil grapes by any society. The third
medal was for the best display of pears
by any society.
The most of the fruits exhibited from
Missouri were 81 much larger than
those grown elsewhere, that many dis
tinguished pomologists from other states
could scarcely recognize them.
The committee IN charge of the fruit.
from Missouri were Prof. George Hus-
mann. j. G. Evans and Norman j. Col
man. MAJOR Il. S. Raglan, OF Indepen.
dence. IS deserving OF much credit for
contributing largely to the collection
from Missouri. So are several other
parties. whose names will be noticed at
another time.
