lave Snubbed - st. Paul Lady.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, July GA novel
entitled GA Social Conspiracy" has
made its appearance in the twin cities
which has occasioned sensation. It's
author is unknown, but the chief char
acters of the story are readily recognized
as Senator G. K Davis and his charming
wife, upon whom a relentless
social war has been waged in
ST. Paul for some years. Most of the
scenes are laid in the sanity city. A
vice has sprung up there-the horrid
vice of tale-bearing-and around it
cluster the weeds of envy, hatred, mall
ice and uncbaritableness. The story is
aimed at the persons who have perse
cuted Mrs. Davis. The plot deals with
what is made to represent the Senator
early life, his first marriage and his
subsequent romantic meeting with the
lady who is now his wife.

Natural Gas Giving Out.

PrrrsBURG, Pa, July 25.-Selwynn
Taylor, a prominent local mining en-
gineer and coal expert, thinks natural
gas is giving out. The prospects, he

not bright by any means. The big
natural gas companies recognize this as
a fact and are spending thousands of
dollars on process for making fuel gas.
This is significant.

some Interesting Figures as to the

perts.
Crop experts, now that the great corn
fields of the west are out of danger Of,
frost or freeze, are amusing themselves
calculating upon the crop. The esti-
mates run, none under 1000, 900. 900
bushels and some add 500. 600 600 to that
immense figure. Taking the first figure,
says an exchange, we find that if the
corn were put into forty-bushel wagon
loads, and thirty feet be allowed for the
wagon, team and Roadway in the road.
the string of teams would stretch over
100000, 900 milesl -2S4 900 miles of corn
teams, or eleven rows around the world!
Try and think of that-eleven rows of
corn laden teams, side by side, clear
around the world, with 5000 miles more
of teams not in the Incl

and forty feet for its length and coup>
lings, the corn crop of our country this
year would require 100000 cars, and
they would make up continuous freight
train 80, 303 miles long or ten trains
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, or one
freight train of corn clear around the
world, with enough cars left over to
form two continuous trains from the At.
lsntic to the Pacific.
In the estimates of LOCO, 5000, 900
bushels of corn this year, Illinois and
Iowa are each put down for about 270,
900 900 bushels or $40, 900, 900 bushels
for the two states. That is, Illinois and
Iowa alone produce over one fourth OF
all the corn grown in the United States
After these, Missouri is credited witt
210,000,000 bushels; Kansas and Ne

\ Town Where Sin is a Stranger
The Virtues of the county seat of

Next to Rock Island and Moline, Mon.
mouth, the county seat of Warren county,
isprobably the largest city in the Eleventh
congressional district. Monmouth has
recently gained quite a reputation as
place where morality prevails and vice is
the exception. 1t is the home of Judge
Glenn, who is probably as widely known
and as highly esteemed in Rock Island as
he is in his own town. In the Chicago
Mail of a recent date is an article under
the head, "Sin Stranger There" 1t is
special from Monmouth, and discusses
| the Sunday regulations there. IL SAYS:
If there is place on earth where the
| Sabbath is observed with a vigor that
beats the old Puritans, it is in the city of
Monmouth, as the natives like to call it.
Monmouth was always known as a
town where there was always an
unusually large amount of holiness
to the square or block \
For some time the temperance people
have been in the majority. They kept
the saloon out, and after vigorous fight
subdued the drug store also. With the
incoming of the present administration,
however,, and under the present city
council. wave of reform has swept over
the place that almost took away the
breath of people thoroughly used to re,
form. First, stringent ordinance was
adopted against the druggists. ANY pill
dispenser who also sells liquor of any
kind, even on a doctors prescription, is
fined $50 on the first offense, 500 on the
second. and on the third occasion of his
law breaking his store is closed as q
nuisance.
AFTER thus disposing of the druggist:
the council turned its attention to tht
enforcement of the Sunday laws. There
were not enough laws of this character In
