An unknown man was found dead,
floating in the river, at Napoleon, last
Sunday. We print on the outside the
statement of the coroner and jury.
Since writing the above we have learn
ed from Capt. Samuel H. Yonge, engi-
neer in charge Of the government river
improvements at Kansas City, that the
deceased was Mr.. Charles Dunklin,
Waterman of the U. S. tow boat Emma
Etheridge, and a brother-in- law OF Capt.
Charles Brown Tilden, commander OF
the boat. 1t seems that on Friday night
of last week, a little after IL O'Clock,
neal Harlem, while Mr.. Dunklin was
on watch, it being hot, he removed his
shoes and seated himself in a chair near
the lower guards. The chair was after
ward found, upset, and it is supposed
that he went to sleep and fell over
board. The manner of finding the
body is fully set forth In the article on
the outside. MIR. Dunklin vas a rela.
ton of Rev. james M. CLANCY, and q
member of a very worthy southeast
Missouri family, known and esteemed
by the writer, and it is with regret that
we have to record the sad accident that
has terminated his life. He was not as
old as the coroner's jury seems to have
thought, probably not more than TWEEN
| ty- five or twenty-six.

The new law in regard to carrying
concealed weapons is a very sever
one, and should be enforced. We call
especial attention to that part OF 1t
which forbids that any II shall, "dl-

loan or barter, to any MINOR any such
weapon, without the consent OF the
parent or guardian of such minor, and
which makes the violation of the pro-

The last legislature passed a law
making the practice of "scouring"
plows in the public roads a misdemean-
or. Farmers who are habitually guilty
of this reprehensible practice will do
well to read the law on the outside OF
this issue. The right thing to do is,
not to need to "scour" a pillow, but to
paint or grease it in the fall and put it
under shelter. The time when farmers
could, reputably, 60 hunting about the
place, in the spring, for plows lost
somewhere in the grass and weeds III
the fall, has passed. These be days
when order and care are not only ne
cessary to success, but requisite thai
one may stand fairly in the community
Remember, that it is against the law tc
"scour" your plows in the public roads
and if the overseer prosecutes you mex
year for an infraction OF the law dom
say the Intelligencer failed to keep yor
informed.

Mr.. Beecher said the other day:-"I
tell you Cleveland is acting beautifully,
beautifully! If the democratic party
manages to rise to the level OF Grover
Cleveland | will be content to go with
it. If it does not, then | go with
Grover Cleveland. There is no disap-
pointment in that man." 1t is only Mr..
Beecher's somewhat natural prejudice
against the democratic party that makes
him doubt at all that it will rise to the
level of its president. 1t is already
there, or rather has been all the time,
despite the republican disappointment
at finding out that they misrepresented
it when they accused it of being an or
ganized appetite. The never-appeased
organized appetite went out of power
last March.
President Cleveland positively refuses
to revoke his order to the cattle barons
to drive their cattle off their illegally
obtained Indian leases. He seems to
have known just what he was doing III
the first place, and sees no cause fol
changing his action. He is right. Ot
course, if the cattle men show a reason
able desire to comply with the order
and are unavoidably detained a few
days over the time, they will not b.
troubled. But they must do this, o
they will be made to go, unceremoni
ously. These very same syndicate lord
are the ones that objected to poor mel
entering land for homesteads in Okla
homa. We sustained that view be
cause it was n maintenance of the law

predecessors, ia not afraid of syndicat
and corporate wealth. He proposes t

1t is believed that there is cholera in
Paris, but efforts are being made TO
conceal the fact. Paris is very close to
New York nowadays, as the Norman
dies log, printed elsewhere, will show.
Quarantining against cholera is neces-
sary and proper, but its ~unreliability is
we'll understood. Havre, the second
sea port of the world. is situated at the
mouth of the Seine, which flows
through Paris. 1t is but 100 miles from
Paris. 1t is in constant cOmmunica-
ton with that city in ten thousand ways
every day of the world. And it is in as
intimate communication with New York
a. with any other foreign city except
London and Liverpool. Even if YES.
sells are detained in quarantine beyond
the reckoned incubative period of the
disease, still this is not a certain pre-
ventive against cholera, as the germ
may be latent in clothing, and subse.
quently developed. 1t is all insiduous
terrible disease. No doubt every effor
will be made at our sea ports to keep i
out, but at last the truest %precaution i
in placing every village, town and city
in the best possible sanitary condition
There should be no crazy panic If tn
disease comes, but intelligent actor
should be taken, in time, to render it
terrors as light as may be.

New Style of FIot.Red.

There are many places where proper ma
terial is hard to obtain, or when it is de-
sirable to avoid the unpleasant odors from
its fermentation, and yet a person might
want to avail himself of the benefits of an
early hot-bed. The following excellent
method is described by correspondent of
the American Florist, who saw it in use in
a Milwaukee amateurs garden: The bed
is situated about thirty feet north of the
house. and is forty feet long by four in
width: the basement of his house is heated
by coal stove. For this stove he had made
small coil of gas-pipe. which he can put in
or take out as easily as he could tea-kettle
From this coil he ran two oue-inch pipes
under the ground. Well-covered, 10 the hot
bed. and then branched each pipe into two,
running them the Whole length of the bed.
ana connected them at the upper end, where
he placed an expansion tank consisting of a
common wooden pail. 1t is simply a per-
fect hot-Water system on a small scale, con-
sisting OF two flow and two return pipes. all
one inch. These pipes are all sunk one foot
deep. In the fall the sash were put on,
and then it was left TO freeze, the pipes of
course being empty. On the 1st OF March
he made connections and started firing. and.
though the frost was four feet deem. in four
days the bed was all ready for the seed.
The result was that Mr. e. had & crop of
early vegetables that could not easily be
beaten.

Commissioner Coleman of the national
department of agriculture says: The aver
age estimated product of the principal 1000
crops of the last five years, as compared
with the average of ten years preceding
from 1870 to 1879, inclusive, shows an
enormous annual increase in the aggregate
as well as per acre. The yield of corn, per
acre has been 259 bushels against 27.1 for
preceding period; the average value has
therefore been higher, AT cents per bushel,
instead of 1915, and the average value OF an
acre $1067, instead of S11.54. The aver
age yields of wheat in the two periods are
almost identical, 1873 and 1874 bushels, re-
spectiyely, but the price has averaged 9O.1
cents, instead of $1.O4 0, the demand not
being equal to the supply" The commits

Poultry i'm Winter.

Much of tho poultry of the West, and
for that matter of the country at large, is
left during the winter to make the most of
the situation, and to do the best they can
for themselves. 1t is ''root, hog, or die, -
and hence it is not matter of wonder that
many die, and the ve-y few that do not do
very little work in the way of laying eggs.
If poultry is kept for profit, those keeping
them must make provision for their keep,
and as well their protection from the
weather and from disease. for unless this
is done there will be not only 10 profit, but
loss. The keeping of poultry is not highly
esteemed by the ordinary farmer, but it has
bought many a daughter pair of shoes
just when she wanted them, and numbers
of other necessary articles for both wife
and children, and when it was doubtful if
they would have been forthcoming but for
the care OF ''Biddy'' and the responsive
cackle.
