A Good story,


DEs MONIES, Ia, June 9.--TSpecial to THE
BEE.I-A good story is reported from Water
loo. young married couple were passing
through the place, and hearing that the
comedian, Charles Gardner, was to pla Y
there wanted very much TO hear him that
night but their train was to leave at $3.50
p M, and they were afraid they might stay
too long at the show and miss it. So they
arranged that the ticket seller should keep
the number of their seats, and when the bus
driver called should send an usher to notify
them. The driver appeared on time, but the
ticket seller had stepped out and no one else
knew where the happy couple sat. The
driver was anxious to get his passengers,
and he sympathizod with their fear of being
left, so he determined to come to their ros-
cue Opening the door, he stalked down the
just as Karl was singing his tender
song to the heroine of the play.
But the bus man knew his duty, aud he
wouldn't let little thing like q sentimental
song stand in the way. So nothing daunted,
he planted himself about half way down the
aisle, and raising his hand to his mouth in
fire trumpet fashion, he shouted in tones that
made the windows rattle, "Passengers gong
west by the Illinois Central, all aboard"
The singer was nearly paralyzed with aston
ishment at the violent interruption the
audience, somewhat accustomed to little
things of that sort, smiled with manifest
pride at their enterprising 'busman, while
the young couple that had been the innocent
cause of all this racket quietly rose, and
sneaked out behind the retreating driver.
nice little city that bus drivers are SO
anxious to get people out of it. But they
mean to do their duty, even If they have to
stop any pro cession to do so.

ST.. PAUL. Mimi, June 9.-Special Tele-
gram 10 The BEE. THAT Farmer is not n
success as n .iort stop was conclusively
demonstrated to &c 1000 people who saw
him attempt to fill Picketts shoes to day.
OF the four grounders knocked 10 him, he
handled but one with effect, aud three of the
Ave runs Of the visitors are traced directly to
his blunders. The game was one of the most
exciting of the season. The Nebraskans
took q lead in the first inning, and the Apos-
ties pulled up to even terms in the fourth,
only to have the visitors force ahead again
in the fifth. They added again in the sixth,
and the score ran to 2 until the ninth
inning. DAILY opened with slashlng
grounder to Walsh, who let it go by him.
Farmer dropped high fly into Nagle's
hands, but Broughton set the crowd to
cheering by pasting the leather to center for
base. DAILY few around to third and
Broughton took second on the throw in.
Tuckerman hit one hard to Crooks, who
fumped 1t awhile, but retired his man. DAILY
scored and Broughton made third. Hawes
came up with q smile and q "wagon tongue"
and was requested from all sides to knock 1t
over the fence. He hit it a rousing thwack,
and IL got away from Andrews, Crooks and
Strauss, Broughton scoring and Hawes
going to second.
1t was critical moment. A hit would tie
the score, and Murphy, who had already
made two pretty singles. swung the willow
He waited and got two bad balls. Then
Umpire Cusick called, zone strike" The
next ball came singing along and Murphy hit
1t a hard crack. 1t went high, however, and
landed securely IN Willis hands, giving the
game to Omaha
This is the first time st. Paul has lost two
games IN succession. Tuckerman pitched
well throughout. He was hit safely but six
times, for a total of eight bases, and four of
these hits were made in the sixth and sew
enth innings. He gave half a dozen men
bases on balls, but only one of these devel-
pped into run. Nichols also pitched in fine
form, being hit safely not more than once in
any inning except the fourth and ninth. The
fielding feature was q remarkable catch by
DAILY at the left field felce. Umpire Cusick
got into hot water early in the contest for
not pleasing the crowd with his decisions,
and he was roasted to turn. Three times
he called st. Paul men out on bases at critical
moments when they seemed safe, and the
spectators manifested a disposition to be
ugly.
There will be no game tomorrow, the
game scheduled being postponed until Tues
day.

Encourage the Boys.

The boy on the farm should be en-
couraged in substantial way, says the
Farm, Field and Stociman. He should
be given a pig, a calf or a flock of hens,
to look after in his own right. The
writer remembers his experiences as a
farmer boy in the long ago. We were
given n little strip of corn ground for
our own. II became our duty to raise
that corn and enjoy the proceeds.
The prospect of husking and cribbing
the grain was not cheerful one, and
it occurred to US that we ought to have
something to feed it TO. So we traded
the corn Tor q pig, only to be met by the
fact that whilc we were not exactly
"out of meat" we had nothing TO feed
the pig and was in as big n dilemma as
before. Then we traded the pig for q
cheap shotgun, and the gun for q
cheaper fiddle, which we broke In two
trying to play seven or eight tunes al
one time, and sold it for dollar. With
the dollar we bought stationery and
wrote n school boy essay for the Friday
afternoon exhibition, on "How TO Make
Farming Pay" Our decline as Il farmer
was rapid but sure, and we swapped the
smell of onions for the odor OF disabled
gas jets and became an agricultural
editor, making Il specially OF such ar
ticles as corn, pigs, shotguns and iiddles.
In the light OF memory, we say give the
boys start If they will trade them
selves out in boyhood they will learn
lessons of observation and care that will
bear fruit when the responsibilities OF
ife cluster arOu nd them.

0S7, 900 barrels, with an average value OF 80
cents per barrel, making q total OF S24, ,543,-
500 as the value OF the years product. These
figures are not largely in advance of those
for 1887, and the gains are not 80 much the
results of increased production in the leading
lime regions as in localities Of minor impor-
tance.
Cement-The amount Of cement produced
In 1888 is less than for 1887, being 6,2o2, 295
barrels for 1888, valued at 121s cents per bar
rel, making S4 ,533639 as the value Of the
years product.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Salt,-The industry shows only slight
changes: In 1883 the production was S,055, ,SSl
barrels Of $50 pounds valued at S,31, ,204.
In 1887 the product was S,003,962 barrels,
worth S4,093, $40. Kansas became n CONNER
cial source OF salt in 1883, producing $4,000
barrels with prospect OF still! greater in
crease In 1889.
Asphaltum-The product Of 1sss includes
200 tons of gilsonite mined in Utah 3, 100
tons of ordinary asphaltum, Principally from
California, and $4,000 tons of bltumnous
rock quarried IN California for pavemeuts in
competition with asphaltum; total value
1891, 800.
Totals--The total value of the minerals
produced in 1883 was S59l, ,659,93l. II is rec
ognzed that this Is the sum of the values of
substance taken in various stages of manu-
facture and hence not strictly comparable
with each other; still 1t Is the most valuable
means for comparing the total products of
different years The result is an increase of
nearly s50,000,000 beyond the value of tho
product in 1857. In that year nearly every
mineral industry showed an increase, and
hence an increased total was evident. But
the fact that the increase was so very large
was due to rather exceptional condi.
tions in few important industries, and it
could not reasonably be expected that n sim
liar combination of circumstances would re-
suit in even larger total value for 1885,
Nevertheless, the unprecedented stimulus
given to the production of copper by an artl-
fetal price increased the total value of that
product nearly Sl3,000000 or nearly enough
to Offset the decline in the total value of pig
iron. The other important factors in the in
crease were coal and the other fuels which
followed the increased quantity Of metals.
With the anticipated decline of copper TO the
normal demand, decline in the total value
of the product in 1889 will not be inconsistent
with the natural development of our mineral
resources.

on,v n t,lericaI Error.

Certain rumors have been afloat recently
about discrepancies in the Office of Internal
Revenue Collector Calhoun, but the total
shortage amounts to but 40 and according
to Mr.. Calhoun's statement, is only an error
of one of the clerks in the office. 1t seems
that twelve COUPONS Of twenty cents each
can not be accounted for, which puts the
books out Of balance, and this matter coming
about the time change IS to take place in
the office, makes it disagreeaple for Mr.. Cal
houn, who excuses the clerks error on ac-
count of the great rush caused by the large
amount of extra work that came in May, the
month the shortage occurred.

The shenherd as He Is.

We have just received very pretty
chrome representing shepherd tend
ing his flock, says the Woodland Mail.
In the foreground stands a shepherd
combining the beauty and graces of an
Apollo and Adonis, a happy smile on
his classic mouth. and pretty
crook in his hand. In the background
are the sheep. Clean, contented ami
mails they look, with their white fieeces
and soft eyes. 1t is very pretty
picture.
Out on the plains of Yolo, little diff
fcrent scene can often be witnessed.
The happy sheepherder will be seen
fighting back gnats with one hand,
while with the other he will be engaged
in plucking cockleburrs from his hair
and overalls. Once month, if he has
time, he'll wander to some limpid
slough and, taking off pair of over
alls and Il gingham shirt, will ''gambol
meath the sea-green waves" now and
then stopping to howl as a catfish sticks
a prong into him. On bacon, beans and
onions he subslsts, with now and then a
steak from drowned sheep. The sheep
themselves are generally very pretty
things, being galy decorated with
spavins, burrs and the scab. AS dewy
eve draws nigh the sheepherder drives
his flock to the corral, using club in
stead OF a crook. when sheep goes

does not say: ''Come home, my lamb. ,
