Corner on Wheat.

For some time past ii has been rumored
that corner" on wheat would be inaugu-
rated at this place. Yesterday a BAzoo
reporter, while making his usual rounds,
found wheat and corn quotation which
had probably been misplaced BY some par
ty or parties, and which looks very much
like the rumor was to he reality. On
further inquiry it was found that two con-
ductois were interested, and that they in
tend to bid in lot of wheat and corn and
hold it until spring opens. The BAzoo
will keep its readers posted as to future de-
developments.

Yesterday afternoon party OF citizens
official and on-oficial-took the tram for
Kansas City. The party consisted of
Judges Gentry, Perdue and Taylor of the
county court. County Clerk Field, Captain
Shanks and Z c. Wilkerson. They go on
a tour of inspection of court houses, and
expect to return with new and more accu-
rate ideas of how the new court house OF
Pettis county should be built. and how TO
expend in the best and most satisfactory
manner the 100000 recently voted by the
county for the erection of such an editice.
They wisely go to Kansas City 10 see how a
court house should NOT be built. Thence
they 60 to Wy tndotte by street car, and will
take a look through the elegant and sub
stantial new court house just erected there,
AT a cost very nearly approximating that
voed for hy Pettis county. They will then
proceed 10 S.. Joseph and inspect its court
house, thence To M2rysville where a $780,
900 court house has just been completed.
1t is said to be both solid and very hand

the trip occupying, it is expected, some
three days.
Mr.. X. L. Gentry, jr., accompanied the
party TO Independence, intending TO look

Rev. Var Wagne's Sleigh Ride.

Rev. j. NJ. Van Wagner, formerly of this
city, but now residing in Lowell, Mich,
met with an accident recently in which he
escaped unhurl, but that resulted in severe
injuries to his daughter, Miss Libbie Van
Wagner The clergyman and his daughter
were in sleigh and speeding along at a
lively pace when the cutter caught on a
spike in the road and overturned, throwing
the occupants violently to the ground
Mrs Van Wagner sustained serious in
juries and has been confined to her bed
ever since the day the unfortunate
sleigh ride waS taken. The
gentleman was stunned by the
fall, and lay unconscious Tor some mo-
ments. In the meantime, the whifi tree
having broke In two, the horse was relieved
from the cutter, and soon flew ont of sight
When the venerable clergyman "came to-"
he locked at the lines in ms hands, but
failed to see the horse at the other end of
the reins. He said :.''Where is the horse Z?
Where am J.? What does al this mean ?'
He soon found what it meant, and was no
doubt duly thankful that matters were no
worse. His many friends in this section
will be glad to know he escaped unframed,
and will hope that his daughter may soon
recover from the painful injuries received.

CATTLE CHAT.
Interesting Facts Given by Geo.
L. Yeater, a Veteran
Dealer.

Mr. Georgs L. Yeater, of this city, is san
old timer" In the business of buying and
selling cattle. He was In that business
here away back in 1868 and ct that time,
the range" extended very nearly up to
Second street. Mr.. Yeater is now in town,
and will remain some days. He went to
Texas some months since, and there bought
700 head of four and FIVE years old steers
He then went to Galveston, and made sat
isfactory arrangements with Mr.. Newman,
the general freight agent in Texas of the
Missouri Pacific and its leased lines for
the transportation of two train loads of the
cattle to Chetopa, Kas. The run Of over sew
en- hundred miles was made at the average
rate of eighteen miles an hour, the best and
most satisfactory time every given to Mr.
Yeater during the long period that he has
been engaged in the cattle trade. AT San
Antonio, F. M. Gillbough, the popular
and Efficient stock agent at that point, took
great interest in seeing the stock shipped
an careful but expeditions manner, and
rendered Mr.. Yester much valuable aid.
Mr.. Gillbough also accompanied the train
for eighty miles. He is very popular with
shippers, Mr. Yeater says, and is one of
the bet liked and most successful stock
The cattle above mentioned are winter
ing in Chetopa and are doing very well.
They are son the market" as will be seen
by notice in another colHmn.
Mr.. Yeater states that cattle men who
have wintered their stock iii the Indian
Territory have met with disastrous fortune,
many herds having lost from thirty to
sixty per cent of their number, owing to
the prevalence of the succession of "bliz
yards"
La Texas the cattle that were wintered
on the range have done and are doing well,
but herds that have been pastured have
Jared badly, owing TO insuficiency of pas
turage for the large number of cattle pro-
vlded Tor In that manner.
There will be big drive from Texas
this year. At present buyers and sellers
are far apart, each class holding widely diff
fering views as to what would be a fair
price.
Trouble regarding the cutting of wire
fences still continues and are not likely to
be soon settled. This fact has prevented
many sales that otherwise would have been
msde.
