Yesterdays racing at home and abroad was
of uncommon interest to Americans. AtSheeps-
head Bay the peerless Queen of our Turf MISS
Woodford, again showed how idle was all
thought of opposing her unapproachable speed
She seems likely to keep up her series OF victories
until she retires from the race track, Tor she
never looked better. Ips England the Amerl-
can horse Eole ran second for the Ascot Cup
which was better than turfmen on either side
of the Atlantic expected him to do. The gen.
eral opinion has been that Eole's future was
behind him, as one of his fore legs has been
shaky for long time. Even in his best estate
he could not defeat ST. Gatien, the winner OF
the Cup, and by all odds the best horse in Eng
land since the other Saint-Simon by name
has gone into retirement. Possibly Miss wood

The alleged Christian African chief, Allegogha,
who caused his nine hostages to be cooked and

not delivered up quickly enough seems to enter
tain somewhat vague and mistaken ideas as to the
responsbiticsandr restrictions imposed upon him by
his new religion In fact. he sas far asray as was the
New-Zealand chief who being told by the mission

went away cheerfuly and reduced himself to n
condition of monogamy by cooking and eating his
superiuous spouses.

The crop reports published on Thursday, though

other hand, the reports published by The San Fran

the Agricultural Bureau and the Tennessee report.
though not important in the general result, Is also
less favorable. The statements in regard to corn,
particularly from Illinois and Iowa. indicate large
weld In Illinois the increase OF acreage appears
to be important, and the condition on the whole
nearly as good that of last year. In Iowa the
increase in acreage is per cent, and although some
fields have been replantcd for tho third time the
average condition of the crop reported by nearly
1.sOO correspondents is nearly % per cent The
general outcome Of the information, though in de-

points to about the same decrease in aggregate

1t is said that our formidable neighbor, Chill,

of the United States for the release of Santos and
that the CHILEAN naval officers talk of having a

Assessment Of Railroad Property

The state board Of equalization
has concluded the assessment of
Railroad property, not including
lands and town lots, over which it
now has no jurisdiction. Their ag-
gregate assessment is S4S, ,955, 1896
This makes an increase over the as
sessment of 1884 of 81, ,572, ,992. .68.
The assessment of this property
made by the board at its session in
1884 was $41, $50, ,326.9S; in 1888,
$39, ,296, $50. 80; in 1882, $35, 5,283,-
739.45; in 1881, $50, ,OO4, ,87S. S5; in
1880, $2S, ,934, ,2I1.8l; in 1879, $780,
912, ,296.56; in 1873 $25, ,919, ,441.46.
In 1875 and prior thereto all the
lands and town lots owned by rail-
road companies were assessed by
the state board and included in the
values Of those years. This proper
ty is now assessed by the county as
SCISSORS where located, and amounts
to between S., ,OO0, 900 and $6,000,-
600. This when added to the as
sessment of the state board, makes
the assessment of railroad property
in this state about $50, ,0OO,0 The
railroad commissioners in their re-
port to the state board of equaliza-
tion this year estimate the cash val
ne of railroads in this state, consld-
ering everything, at 100000, 900.
The county courts of the several
counties through which railroads
are built, in their returns to the
state board, placed the cash value
at less figures than the assessment
made by the board.

The st. Joseph Gazette notes the
death in that city on Sunday Of Mrs.
Jennie Weite, who it ls believed was
122 years old. More than hundred
years ago she was sold into Tennes-
see, and afterwards became the prop
erty of Isaac Yocum. His son Nose
brought her to Missouri thirty years
ago, and she served his family in Ray
county until the emancipation. Al
terward she went to Ellwood, Kans.,
with her daughter. and few years
ago came to st. Joe to end her days
with her daughter. Three times her
hair has been white as snow, each
time changing hack to its original
color. She served as cook for q BAT
terry during the revolutionary war
and remembered the death Of Wash
ington, her people say, as well as
lpersons now living, remember the
death of Gen. Grant.

During several seasons young
Parks had been a constant visitor at
the house Of Abimelech Morrison.
Sunday after Sunday the young fell
low would come, and after sitting
all day, stealing glances at Sookey,
Abimelech's daughter, he would go
home. He was so bashful that when
the time came for his departure he
would glide out of the door, jump
over the fence and run like jack
rabbit. Last Sunday he took his
place as usual.

"What do you want dad?" she
said, entrring the room.
"Hold on, Sam! Come back, you

Sam had jumped over the fence
and was running like a jack-rabbit.
OldAbimelech says that the marriage
may take place as soon as Sam sken

4 Smart Scheme.

Two 6arkles had to carry large
desk to the house of DR.. Blister, who
had bought it at furniture store.
When they arrived with the deck, he
was IN, and directed them where to
put it. The darkies expected to get
a quarter apiece at least for their
extra trouble, but alasl the doctor
did not give them anything at all.
He forgot all about their sufferings
in carrying the heavy desk up two
flights of stairs.
T,hey consulted together for mo-
ment in the 6a7f. and then they began
IL Hghf and pound each other, call.
ing each other ali manReE Of vile

heard since the adjournment Of the

the cause Of the disturbance.

MANY Of our readers, especially in
the nelghborhood of New Hope and
Elsberry, remember the sale of q
horse at the Lincoln county fair Of
1882 by one of the Cannon boys to
Dan Bates, of PittsfieId, Ill. The
purchase price was something like
$40 or sac, At present we very
much doubt if he could be bought for
$1,000 A few weeks ago, at Chic
ago, in the 2:2S pacing race, the
horse, named New Hope by Mr..
Bates, captured first money, pacing
the heats in 2:16l, 2:16i and 2:19.
This, of course, placed him in the
free-for-all class. Last week he was
entered in the free-for-race at Cleve-
land, o., against Rich Ball and
Westmont, two of the fastest PAGERS
in the world, and other fast horses,
and took third money; he won the
third heat in 2:16, was second twice,
third twice and fourth in the first
heat. He has come to the front in
great style, and his history, from
beginning a common plgg plough
horse in Lincoln county in 1882. to
that of one Of. the swiftest PAGERS in
| the world in 1855, is something like
that Of Maud s., the queen Of the
trotting turf. -4FOy Free Press.

Mad stones.

HARMoorowN, MIss.-Some time
ago saw in an issue of your paper
an article from some one wishing tC
know # there was such a thing as 8
mad stone and if so, did it possss
the virtues ascribed to it. Mr.. BeI
Milan, now of Waterford, Miss,
and once a citizen of this immediate
neighborhood, has one of these
stones, which, I was told by one OF
the family, had been applied to the
human subjects, bitten by rabld ami.
mails more than 1900 times with but
single failure--the patient refus.
ing to have 1T applied as thoroughly
as it should have been. Three In
stances have come Immediately under
my observation when relief from the
poisonous effects of rabico, was OBJ
tanned. This was many years ago,
and all are free from that terrible
disorder and have no fears in the
future Of that trouble. Two OF
these cases were relatives of mine
q sister and nephew-one Of whom
was severely bitten BY dog known
to be rabld, for every animal bitten
by him went mad and died. ] have
examined this stone Of Mr.. Milan
it is about the size of small guinea
egg very porus, and resembling
bone somewhat externally. Years
ago it was broken into many pieces,
bnt being ''jeweI Of high price, !"
Mr.. Milan had it securely put togeth-
er with silver bands. Patients have
come from far and wide, TO have it
applied. 1t is applied to the wound
where it adheres firmly until it fills
itself with the fluid it extracts, when
it falls of. 1t is then placed in q
basin of warm water and in . short
time cleanses Itself. disgorging q
greenish looking fluid. This opera
ton is continued so long as it will
adhere, when the patient is assured
safety. / know that many, and es-
peclally the medical fraternity,
think these stones are humbugs, and
1 confess / was once of that opinion,
but facts and convincing evidence of
the virtues of this stone have led me
and hundreds Of others to have nm
plicit confidence in It's ability to pre-
vent hydropho5ia.
AS / am writing this communion
tion for the benefit of an inquirer, I
will add by way of post script, for
the beuefit Of another, that If he will
place a branch Of either Sweet Gum
or Sumach under the headstall of the

animal no more. This knowledge
