A Killing Frost.

The warm weather of Friday and Satur-
day was succeeded last Sunday morning by Il
regular blizzard, the weather-vanes point
ing due north in a stiff, piercing wind. Sum
day night was cold, but cloudy, and no dam
age WAS done to growing crops. Monday
evening, about sundown, the skies cleared,
the thermometer went downtown below
freezing point, and when folks got up Tues
day morning, the frost lay like light snow
over everything. About noon the warm sum
shine had developed the mischief. and the
tender, growing egetation-potatoes, toma-
toes, corn, grapes, etc.,-looked as il they
had been cooked. 1t is thought the wheat
was not much injured, and that corn will
come out all right, In most instances, but
that there will be few or no grapes in this
section this year. The damage done to
peaches, apples, etc, is not yet determined,
but it is believed they have not received Sc
rious injury.

Last Frid ay's Storm.

The tornado of last Friday night piowed
Montgomery, Warren and st. Charies-and
besides destroying large amount of prop.
erty, killed and more or less seriously wound
ed over twenty people. The largest amount
of destruction seems to have been wrought
in st. Charles county, where the storm swept
along south Of the Wabash railroad, leveling
to the ground nearly everything in its path,
and leaving nothing but devastation and
ruins in its track.
In Montgomery county, this State, the east
side and northwest end Of Mr.. John Miller's

on n sofa when the walls disappeared, and
all the furniture except the sofa they were

Ii the readers of the REGISTER wish to see
neat, well-arranged drug store, let them
call and take a look at that just opened out
by Capt. p. A. Crisp, on theIcorner opposite
and south Of this office. The room Is about
30 feet square, with glass front, and very
neatly fitted up with shelving and counters.
The latter are Of walnut and yellow-pIne,
alternately, with pleasing effect. The shelly
ing, which Is extensive, is filled with pure
fresh drugs in tastefully labelled bottles, and
notions of various kinds. On the counters
are the prescription case and three show
cases-two six feet in length, one of which is
used for displaying perfumeries, and the 9TH
er for articles in the fancy notion line. The
third and smaller case is filed with cigars of
all the best brands. The prescription case
Is beauty, fitted with shelving, drawers,
etc., inside, and rendered pleasing to the
eyes on the outside by tasteful ornamental
ton. The tout ensemble of the store is per-
feet, and beautiful enough to make one al
most forget the grimace- producing drugs
that lie concealed beneath this pleasing ex-
terror. Mr.. Crisp is a druggist of many
years. experience. He sells at reasonable
advance on wholesale rates, and guarantees
his drugs to be fresh and pure.
AS we stated last week, James Hughes,
under arrest charged with counterfeiting,
was taken to st. Louis-pending his EXAM
ination here before Commissioner Zwart-
and, under bench warrant, arraigned be-
fore Judge Treat. He plead not guilty. In
the mean time, Mr.. Edgar, his attorney, who
had been absent from town, upon his return
telegraphed Jno. NJ. Glover, of st. Louis, the
facts in the case, and asked him to defend
the prisoner. Mr.. Glover appeared before
the court and stated just how the matter
stood down here, but Judge Treat had
ordered Mr.. Hughes to be returned to IRON
ton for the completion of his preliminary
examination before Com'r Zwart. That ex-
animation was concluded Monday evening,
and Tuesday morning Mr.. Zwart bound the
prisoner over to appear before the U. s.
Court in st. Louis in the sum of $500. Mr..
Tyrrel, who Is noted here as the man who
did not recover 5000, 900 of land to the Gov
ernmcnt which it had sold and received pay
for some thirty years ago, took his prisoner
at once to st. Louis-within an hour after
the amount of bail had been finally fixed-to
await the next term of court. So ends the
third chapter.

Wasp Stings.

This being the season at which petty
questions and grievances are most
likely to be relieved or redressed by
the publicity offered by the press, a
considerable number of correspondents
are expressing the burning interest
they take in the treatment of "wasp
stings." There can be no doubt that
under certain conditions the sting of a
wasp may prove very injurious, or
even dangerous to life. We are I'M
able to indorse the opinion that there
is no danger unless there be fear. 1t
is quite possible that the sting of any
insect capable of generating a poison
may be fatal without the intervention
Of panic. The nervous system is in
some Of its states exceedingly suscepti-
BILE of sudden impressions, WHICH, as t
we're, "stagger" the nerve centers by
shock. The bites of small snakes
probably act in this way, and the sting
of a wasp may prove fatal in the san 9
fashion. As to remedies, ammonia is,
of course, the obvious recourse; but
almost anything strong" in popular
sense, will generally suffice to decom-
pose and destroy an organic poison if
instantly applied. This is why the
juice of an onion answers the purpose.
Anything equally pungent would do as
well.--Lancet.

TENNESSEE AS A WHEAT GROW
ING STATE.

From the following statement, which
we clip from the New England Far
mer, of the average wheat product OF
thirty States and Territories for 1879
it will be seen that Tennessee's average
is only seven bushels per acre. Only
one State, that of Georgia, being be-
low Tennessee. 1t is question Of i'm
portance to the Tennessee farmer
whether it will pay to grow wheat or
not. We hardly think seven bushels
as an average will pay. Such farmers
rs have land too poor to produce no
more than seven bushels per acre had
better abandon making wheat as sur
plus for market. While we may have
some good wheat lands, large proper
ton of the lands will have to be regen
Grated before wheat crops will pay, un-
less we resort to some sort of fertilizers.
But our failure to a great extent may
not be altogether the fault of the land.
Many of our farmers do not prepare
and plant their crops well. To insure
success thorough preparation and cul-
tivaton of the land before the wheat
is sown. This is done by thoroughly
blowing, narrowing and reharrOwlng,
and then plant with drill.
The value and cost of crop of any
kind should be carefully studied, and
if found not profitable the causes should
be investigated and corrected or the
crop abandoned. So long as our aver.
age is not above seven bushels it will
not pay to grow wheat even for bread
while prices are no better than at pres
ent. No crop prepares land better for

The Grave of Jefferson.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Lieutenant
Colonel Thomas L. Casey, who was
charged with the execution of the reso.
luton of Congress providing for the
erection of suitable monument over
the grave of Thomas Jefferson at Mons
ticellO, announced the completion of
the work. The grounds were surroun>
ded by wooden fence, and the old
monument to Mr.. Jefferson was much
worn by the weather and dis6gured by
relic hunters. The work just complete
consisted in the grading, seeding and
sodding of the surface, the erection of
new monument over the grave of
Mr.. Jefferson and the building of a
strong and handsome fence about the
burying ground. The monument con-
sists first of two foundation courses
the lower twelve feet square and the
next eight feet square and each nine
inches in height-which cover the
grave Of Mr.. Jefferson and four of his
kindred who are buried at his head and
feet and on either side. These founda-
ton stones are surmounted by die,
four feet square at the base and three
feet seven inches in height, and this by
a granite obelisk three feet two inches
square at the base and twelve feet
eleven inches high. The total height
of the monument above the ground is
eighteen feet.
The inscription, composed by Mr..
Jefferson and in accordance with his
directions placed on the obelisk is as
follows:
"Here was buried Thomas Jefferson,
author of the declaration of independ.
ence, of the statute of Virginia for re.
ligous freedom, and father of the Uni
versity of Virginia"
Upon the die is incribed: "Born
April 2, 1743, o. S. Died July 4,
1926"
On the upper surface of the four
sides of the lower foundation step are
Inscriptions marking the four graves
surrounding that of Mr.. Jefferson-the
grave of Martha j. Randolph and
Maria j. Eppas, his daughters, and. Of
Gov. Thomas M. Randolph, his son.in.

Exports of Dairy Products.
New England Farmer.

New England Farmer
The extent to which the export trade
in butter and cheese operates to the
advantage Of the American dairyman,
by widening his market and keeping
the prices of his products reasonably
steady, is perhaps better shown by the
figures furnished by the Bureau of
Statistics at Washington, than in any
other way. Thus the exports of but
ter from the United States for FIVE
months of the present season, from the
LIST of May to the Both of September,
aggregated 1O,57S.348 pounds, against
1895, 666 pounds for the same period
last year. Of cheese the exports foot
up 81, 152,246 pounds against 7O,223,'
SIG pounds last year. 1t hardly seems
possible that nearly three times as
much butter has been sent out of
the country during the past summer as
during the summer Of 1882, and Bos.
ton exporters with whom we have
spoken on the subject, are hardly will
ling to credit it. The increase at this
port has been very small, only about
twenty per cent. while Philadelphia
has more than doubled her exports,
and Port Huron, Michigan, has increas>
ed hers nearly nine fold. The total
valuation of these exports of butter and
cheese for the FIVE months is $10,235,-
697 against So, 1851 for the same
time in 1882, an increase of 81, 754, 1876.
The exports of cheese from Montreal
since the opening of the season to late
are 755, 1921 boxes against SCI, 293
boxes same time last year, an increase
of 194,52S boxes. The exports OF
butter from Montreal also show an iu>
crease, being 81 ,343 packages against
80, no packages same time last year.

Grand total in treasury and in banks
md in general circulation 81 ,730, 597,-
8z3. Assuming the accuracy of these
tables, which are based on the calcula
ton that the circulation of the national
banks is the same as it was July /,
there has been an increase of $40, 49,
635 in the money of the country during
the past year. But Comptroller Knox
estimates that there has been contrac-
ton of national bank circulation in
consequence of two calls for three per
cents, which will amount in December
to S12,000,000. The exact figures
will be obtained soon, but, accepting
the comptrollers estimate, the increase
has been 81, 115, $50 in twelve months.
Some of the figures in these tables
are interesting The total amount of
coined specie is S779, 1904, 422, to $751;
O09, 1853 of paper currency. Of the
latter $176,7S5, 481 is in gold and sill
yer certificates. Allowing that the con.
traction of national bank currency
amounts to twelve millions, there are
five millions more greenbacks than
bank notes in circulation. 1t is worth
noticing, too, that, in spite of all the
clamor against silver, nearly five mil
lion more silver dollars and over a mil
lion and quarter of fractional silver
are in circulation than year ago; and
the increase in silver certificates has
been nearly fourteen millions and a
half. 1t also appears that nearly seven
millions of fractional paper currency
remains out, unaccounted for, and most
of it is lost or worn out. The govern
ment has gained so much at the ex-
pense Of the people.

Manure The Orchards Now.

New England Farmer.
This has been a barren year for most
of the orchards in the country, but the
trees have made fruit buds for next
years bearing, which will bring an
abundant crop next year should the
season prove favorable. Now an over
abundant crop is often of a little more
value than a moderate crop in year
of less general abundance. Farmers
who treated their orchards properly
have apples to use and to sell this year
when they bring good prices, but they

wheat than clover, and no crop that
the farmer can grow will pay him
better than clover. Whether you grow
it as a fertilizer, or pasture, or hay, it
always pays. By a judicious system of
clovering your lands you may, in a few
years, make them grow all kinds of
grain to advantage. Grow grass and
raise stock to eat it, and take care of
every pound of barnyard manure and
you will soon have land that will pro-
duce from twenty to thirty bushels per
acre. Then it will pay and not until
then to grow wheat for market.
The following is the statement re-
ferred to:
