LETTER FROM MISSOURI
HOT WEATHER-THE CROPS,
A THRIVING TOWN, &c.
BURLINGTON JUNCTION, Mo,
~ 1901

July II, 1881. :
EDITOR News We have been
having very warm weather for near
Ily two weeks, the thermometer
ranging as high as 1O6 in the shade.
Everything is becoming parched up,
and the growing crops are suffering
severely for want Of rain. The late
corn is almost ruined and will not
make a third Of a crop. Unless rain
comes soon, the corn crop Will be an
entire failure.
Harvesting is about over, and
the wheat and all small grain
/ is more than an average
crop. Fall wheat is frst-rate and
will make on an average 90 bushels
per acre; spring wheEt is' not SO
good, being damaged by dry weather.
still it Is a pretty fair crop.
Owing to the prospect Ofa short corr
crop, stock cattle are very high,good
two yearolds being worth S35perhead
and three year olds still higher,
Feeders are afraid to pay such prices
and are holding off. I think there
will be fewer cattle fed in Nodaway
county this winter than for the past
five years.
Before I close I will say a word in
regard to our new town, Burlington
Junction. Just two years ago, July
4th, this town was laid out and build
ing commenced. It has steadily in
creased in population from that time
and now boasts of LOO inhabitants,
It is a true western town, and is fill.
ed up with men who are wide awake
I.think it is destined to be a town
as large as Hillsboro at least. Il
already has three railroads, and q
fourth is projected. There are %
stores, and most of them would be q
credit to an older town; 2 churches,
Methodist and Catholic, and the
Christian denomination are going to
build in the near future.
With this short description of our
town, I think you can imagine what
kind of people we are out here in
Missouri. I have been in this State
nearly two years, teaching school
most of the time, and perhaps a word
in regard to the schools will be read
with interest. The schools Of Nods-
wsy county are not as far advanced
as those of old Highland. Higher
arithmetic and algebra are taught in
but very few of the schools.
Wages of teachers are about the
same as in Highland, ranging from
S25 to $50 per month in summer
and from S35 to $40 per month in
winter. Schools are about all en-,
gagged for the winter term. Teach
ers are plenty, and there are some
who will teach for almost nothing,
| just as is the case everywhere. More
anon. Yours Respectfully,
An OHIO Boy.

Quilts and Oo7srlsts.

Very effective quilts are made in ape
piled work on unbleached cotton sheet
ing. A pattern Of yellow fruit or flow
ers with leaves is cut out in cOlOred ser.

also worked in crewels, and the ground
slightly darned in dim yellow ereWel.
With due care this viii keep clean fer
. very long time, and when sOiled may
be cleaned again and again; it is an
elaborate but very pleasant and repay
ingp piece Of work, ItshOuld be noticed
that the effect much depends on the
darning of the ground; II the flowers
be another color than yellow, say rcd
pink, or blue, the darning may be the
same color, but perhaps Of q lighter

New Years Dny.

Now HAT the holidays are approaching,
when gay festivities will be INDUCED in
and grand soirees will be given, where gen
tlemen must appear genteel II behooyes
them therefore TO take rocOnnoitre
through their wardrobe and be sure that it
will have been replcnished ERE the hour
comes that they will have to appear on
New Years Day, there to mngle
with the conviviaites of society
Apprehending that there are but few ladies'
in Dallas who will not receive callers on
that day, and il so, as it is day when gen.
tlemcn are privileged to call, no matter
whether apreyious quaintance or not yet,
those ladies must entertain them, and there
is no equal to such bore as the New Years
caller who appears i'll at ease, and it issimply
| impossible for gentleman to appear with
that urbauity requisite, garbed IN an old
hand-me-down suit, or the one which has
been renovated for at least the tiitieth time
Consequently to avoid all mishaps fol
a MASH that you may possibly
make, Just repare to the tailoring
establishment of our popular tailor, Mr. IL
Zimmerman, and there clad yourself in one
of those beautiful dress sutings (of which
he has but few left) and make your
debut with not only extreme elegance, but
perfect ease to yourself

rying out the back way, and since that time
he has come into possession of evil
dence that leaves no doubt in his
mind but that Chambers was the
party. On one occasion he says that
outside parties told him that on one occa-
sion while he was absent from the city,
that Chambers went to his house armed
with a shot gun and staid all night. The
reporter endeavored to learn of the prisoner
what evidence he had that Chambers was
the right man, but he declined to say.
He said that he had until recently
the utmost confidence in his wifes chastity
and that even when he saw it he did not
even then want to believe her guilty.
The reporter called at the residence of
Mr.. Freeman, on Commerce street, near
HARDWOOD street, to see Mrs. Free
man. An elderly lady, Mrs. Harris,
and informed him that Mrs. Freeman
had left on Friday mornings south
bound train over the Texas Central Road
perhaps for Brookhaven, Mississippi, her
native home. Mrs. Harris, who is a pleas
ant old lady, both in appearance and con
versation, stated that she had gone to Mr.,
Freeman's ast.ruesday, and that she never
noticed anything wrong until Thursday
afternoon That day at dinner Mr.. Free
man asked his wife il she wished to go out
| anywhere that afternoon, and she said she
did intend going down town to purchase
some patterns preparatory to making the
children some clothes. She named4 O'Clock
as the hour, and at that time
he was punctually on hand
but instead of their going dowr
Gown he took her into the parlor wher,
they remained until after shutdown, TALKING
and crying when they came out into the
family room, and she at once began to pack
her trunk weeping all the while; Mrs
Harris, to use her own words, says that She
asked her what on earth it all meant
when Mrs. Freeman pointed to herhusbanc
with the remark, he will tell you" but he
never told her After the shooting he SEN
word Ter Mrs Harris to send one of his it'll,
boys, Walter, to him at the Jail which wa
done,
Mr.. Chambers, the deceased, was n MAJ
very quiet in his manner, and wa
well liked by all who knew him
He leaves wife, two sons an,
a daughter to mourn his untimely death
Mrs. Chambers, hearing Of her husbands
death, came to the drug store. and whel
she saw the PROSTATE form of her dead hus
band she gave way to uncomfortable grle
and tainted When she was hnally reStor
ed to consciousness she seemed
to be totally bcreit of rea
son, and was TO all appearances totally
oblivious of the sad affair, and ran out int
the street She was taken charge of anc
sent to her home and medical attendance
was summoned. Whether or not her yea
son is permanently dcthroned, remains tC
be seen, The jury of inquest may make
further developments.
