Onions.

4 subscriber asks for information on
the subject of onion culture.
In cultivating onions you will succeed
better by plants than by seed and any
kind commonly found in use will produce
a good crop if cultivated ON rich SOIL Be
careful in cultivating not to hoe the earth
up among the bulbs, but allow them to
stand we'll on the top of the earth. Plant
the sets four inches apart in the row, and
cultivate with hoe fifteen inches be-
tween the rows; if you have horse you
will have to double the width between
the drills, and never let weed be found
in the onion bed. Hoe, hoe, hoe; cult
waite, cultivate, cultivate, is the specific
for successful onion culture. Old land is
said to be the best for onions, but pow
erful crops are sometimes raised on COM
parativeiy new soil. Loamy bottom soil,
very rich and kept clean, produces large
crops. The onion needs a good deal of
moisture to make large growth. Onions
can only be keptwell through the winter
bv spreading them in thin layer in a
cold. dry, place; but the temperature
should be kept above the freezing point.
The nearer the better. Pull the crop
when the tops die.-E..

Mr.. Editor II and my neighbors have
been led so many times into buying diff

Under the head Of" Marriage Under
Difficulties'-as though the two didn' t
generally go hand-in-hand-the Fred
ericktown Plaindealer gives us read
able section of the holiday doings down
there:
Parson Halbrook was called on Christmas
day to unite in marriage Mr.. James Jones
and Miss Pirtle of Mine La Motto. The
day was not devoid of interest, and he will
remember it for some time to come.
The parson and the groom started in a
sleigh to go to the brides fathers house, but
in few yards the sleigh broke down. A few
ropes mended it and another start was made,
and then the nervous to-be-married man
discovered that he had forgotten the license,
an essential thing in these matrimonial times.
A return trip got the document, and then
another start was made that carried them
half way to their destination. Then more
ropes to mend the sleigh was called for and
another attempt to go ahead produced a ver-
liable smash up. Then the sleigh was ADAM
doned and the parson got UP behind friend
on horseback and the groom bestrided his
own nag, and the scene of bridal festivities
was reached. The ceremony was said and
the dinner done ample justice to, and in
spite of all obstacles all went merry rs a
marriage bell.
The parson says he wants the young folks
hereafter to choose fairer days for their mat
rimonial affairs.

The Doniphan Prospect chronicles
another tragic ending to domestic infe-
licity: I'VE learn from Mr.. Hatadc
Gamble, of the horrible death of a man
named Lafayette Pitman, who lived
near Mr.. Gamble, in the northern part
of Randolph county, Ark. Pitman
and his wife had difficulty and she
refused to live with him. He tried to
induce her to go with him, but owing
to the very bad treatment he had sub
jected her to, she firmly refused to do
SO. This seemed to throw the old man
into fit of dependency, and he re-
turned to his house, fastened himself
therein and set fire to it, burning the
house, himsel: and all the household
effects before any help could arrive.
The old man was familiary known to
many of orr citizens as dad" Pitman.
He Was known to be a pretty hard lease
and it is said, was not as kind to his
family as he might have been.

After giving rather racy review of
the career of the Cape Girardeau Neaos,
lately suspended, the Democrat pays a
neutrality-suspicious. to Mr.. Leech, a
short time since connected with the
Herald at this place. 1t is deserved
tribute, and we copy it with pleasure:
About two months ago Mr.. Thns. C.
Leech, young man of fine ability and
ready and fluent writer, was added to
the editorial staff of the NeWs, but it
was too late to save the concern. Mr..
Leech is the only man with any news
paper brains who has been connected
with the paper since it went out of the
hands of A. NJ. Casebolt, and had he
been given a fair chance, We believe he
would have established the paper on a
sound basis"

Fire at Poplar BLUR.

Poplar Bluff was visited last Sunday
morning little after midnight by far
the most destructive fire ever known
In that town. According to the Re-
publican, the loss is estimated at over
$4,000. The whole block - burned
with the exception of one brick store
house-was composed of frame build
ings, and burned like finder, despite
the utmost endeavors of the citizens to
stay the progress of the flames. There
appears to be little doubt that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. 1t was
first discovered few minutes before IL
in the rear of the first building on the
east side of the block, the lower part of
which was occupied by B. Schwarzkopf
as general store. The upper part
was occupied by Brennan Bowen, a
railroad engineer, as residence.
When discovered, the fire was under
full Roadway on porch in the rear,
but had not yet entered the building,
and when. the alarm was given the
back door was Knocked open with an
AK, when, with the assistance of the
draft. the flames swept through, COM
pletely enveloping the interior. The
people were warned that there were
two kegs of powder in the building,
and they had barely time to get out of
way when there were two terrific ex-
plosions, which fairly shook the town,
but fortunately no one was hurt. Tie
flames soon reached the next building.
which was unoccupied except by some
unused printing material. The next
was the grocery store of Mills & Fer
guson, which the flames completely
enveloped in very short time. The
next building. r. P. Lilies grocery
store, was cut off by narrow alley
and hopes were entertained that with
the liberal use of water and wet blank
cts the establishment could be saved !.
but it was no use. The flames leaped
across the intervening space as though
there was no barrier in the way, and
continued on to the next building-L.
F. Quinn's drug store.
The next building, the last in the
row. is the Opera-house, the lower part
occupied by Ferguson & Wheeler as a
general store. Here the flames met d
barrier that could not be overcome.
The building is fire-proof, and stood
the test without blemish.
The following was the insurance on
the property destroyed: B. Schwarz-
kopf, where the fire originated, 81, 800.
The next building, owned by Mrs.
NJ. j. Spears, no insurance.
r. P. Lilies on building and stock,
81, 500.
Mills & Ferguson, on stock and build
ing, $4,000.
l.. F. Quinn, on stock of drugs, 5000.
Thos. Bullivant, on building, $500.
r. z. Lilies and Mrs. M. J. Spears
are the heaviest losers.
The other losses are nearly if not
fully covered by insurance.

We print the following for what it is
worth. 1t is special dispatch sent to
to the Republican from Cape Girar.
deau on the LIST lust:
County Commissioner of Schools Tom Will
son says man named Frank w. Phillips,
who says he is general agent for Wilson,
Brakeman, Taylor & Co., and acting for sew
eral large publishing houses, known here as
syndicate, told him that he had employed the
district at from $40 to $50 to work for the
adoption of the syndicate books. He also
offered Mr.. Wilson $50 says WILSON, $40 to
keep his mouth. Mr.. Wilson says he is ready
to make affidavit to these facts. Thus these
publishing houses, not satisfied with having
formed combination enabling them to get
outrageous prices for their books, seek to
defeat the will of the people, and control the
textbook trade by buying the county COM
missioners.
We don't believe there is anything
but "wind" in this; yet such stories,
ordinations, recriminations, are the
legitimate result of the textbook law.
If not conceived in iniquity, it was at
least as asSinine bit of statute-mak-
ing as one can well conceive of. In

to stir up strife and dissatisfaction, it

We cordially endorse the sentiments
of the Jefferson Democrat concerning
the alleged civil service reformer. We
never held public office, and never ex-
pect to; but if We did happen to ask for
post-office, or consulship, or cabinet
position, we don't think it would be
exactly fair to measure our fitness for
the position by our ability to tell off
handed the exact longitudinal position
of the province of Borioboola-Gha, or
how and by what bounded. Every
boy fresh from school would "hold the
edge" on the elder folks who have for
gotten lots of routine and textbook i'm
learning the lessons of experience as
applied to practical, everyday life. Of
course an office-holder ought to be able
to read, and write intelligibly: beyond
this, if he be not possessed of honesty,
industry and good horse sense, all the
textbook knowledge in the schools will
not make up the deficiency. Bro. Nc
Mullin says:
We think some of the Civil Service reform
ers are getting cranky. understand they
have prepared great, long bill to submit to
the Missouri Legislature, providing for a
commission to examine all applicants for
State offices, copying somewhat after the
National law. The best that can be said for
such alaw is that it is useless and unnecessa-
ry, and would cumber the Statutes with lot
of rubbish that would benefit nobody. The
State does not need any more commissions
or additional officers
