Speaking of dry weather, a close
observed of nature remarked to a re-
porter: 81 have dry weather sign
which for years I have never known
to fail and at the same time illustrates
the great wisdom of small creatures,
and that is this: Whenever you see
the grass of the lawn or field cover
ed with numerous small webs, as
you have doubtless often seen, you
may depend upon it that the wealth
will be dry for some time. The tiny
creatures seem to know with unerr-
ing wisdom when to spread their
tents and they require no time to
make calculations, for I have fre
quently noticed them Immediately
upon the cessation of a heavy rain.

THE WHITE HOUSE MORTGAGE.
An Old Claim Against the Government
Held by Virginia.

Washington, D. c., Sept. Re
cent agitation about the building OF
a new and more extensive presiden-
dial mansion has brought to the sur
face an old mortgage on the White
house that has been lost or forgot
ten for long time. W. B. Harlow,
secretary and treasurer of the Mt.
Vernon avenue association, is the
man who brings forward this claim.
In an interview about the proposed
executive mansion he says: Il am
glad to see the matter agitated, aud
I hope it will be taken up and push
ed by congress. When it is our as
sociation, to whom the Virginia leg
islature has transferred it's claim
against the government for money
borrowed by General Washington to
build the present structure, will pre-
sent the claim ana ask Tor payment
for the old before it commences the
new. The claim, which is for $780,
900, has never been denied by the
government, nor can it be, for we
have the promise of the government
made through Washington to pay
the money back to Virginia should
it ever be able to do so. We will
not perhaps ask that the claim be
paid in money, but will probably
suggest that congress defray the ex-
pense of building the proposed ma
tional highway to Mt Vernon. II
they agree, we will transfer the V.r-
ginia mortgage on the White house
as a contribution to the project"

THE PEOPLE WILD.
No Jail Near Boone County Safe for
q Black Brute.

Sedalia, Mo-, Aug. 31.-Sheriff
Tom Crammer of Cooper county ar
rived in the city to-day with Squire
Divers, negro fiend, and placed
him in the county Jail.
Divers two weeks ago outraged
the 16-year. daughter of Amos
Henshaw, wealthy farmer living
near Ashland, Boone county, and
was arrested and placed in the Col
lumbia Jail.
Monday Sheriff Evans Of Boone
county was notified that mob would
visit the jail to lynch the prisoner.
The vigilantes were on hand as pre-
dicted, but the sheriff and his pris-
oner were on their way to Mexico.
The mob then threatened to 60 to
Mexico and take the prisoner from
the Jail and the officers decided to
send Divers to Bonneville and tele-
graphed Sheriff Crammer to 60 to
Mexico and get him.
Crammer secured his man, but
while en- route to Boonville to day
received another telegram directing
him to pass through Boonville and
go to Sedalia where the prisoner
would be secure. Crammer obeyed
this last order, leaving Divers in a
cage in the Jail here, guarded by
Sheriff Smith and his deputies.
1t is said that the people of Boone
county are terribly enraged and that
Divers life would not be worth a
straw if he should fall into their
hands.

Thursday morning when young
Beerman, living about FIVE miles
north of Holden, went to the
barn to feed he found his father
in the hay NOW cold in death. It
seems the father, Frederick Beer
man, had not been living al home
for the past thirteen years, but had
been wandering aimless i'll the Wild
West. There was an estrangement
between him and his family-yet
when he felt that death was near he
sought his home. He was 6S years
old.-Holden Enterprise.

would be good joke to offer its dai-

place in the Bible where the COM
mandment 'Honor thy father and

and thus, as it thought, set a lot of
people to hunting for what could
not be found. Before the offer had
been out an hour, however, three
people called at the Office and refer
red the astonished editor to Tobit
1912, where the commandment is
given. The editor fastened to de.
clare the offer off, but not until his
little joke had cost him about $50
worth of papers.

The Springfield Republican,
speaking of the meeting of the State
Alliance and Wheel in that city
Tuesday and the probable union Of
the two into Farmers and Labor
ers' Union, says:
THE organization of SO large a
number of voters as Will be embrac-
ed in the combined society Of the
farmers alliance and wheel will nat
urally excite the interest and atten-
tion of all political parties. Politi-
clans will trim their actions SO as to
catch the good will of the organiza-
| ton, and demagouges will strive to
| capture its vote. It is not too much
that the parties and partisans will
scheme to transform the whole Or
ganization into a political machine.
or to gain it for an ally in party
campaigns. This fact will doubtless
be the great disturbing element in
the organizations and the great dan
ger to it's success in working out it's
purpose But the farmers have had
some years of experience with these
difficulties. Their purpose is to es.
chew party politics entirely. Their
motto is ssorganize, educate and CO.
operate" for the promotion of the
farming interests of the country. Tc
do this they must necessarily com
bine persons of all political opinions
!: which could not be done upon po
litical platform. For the same reaso1
! were political questions introduced
or party action proposed after tn
organization is effected, innumerabl
dissensions and final dissolution
would be the result. This the lead
: ers of the movement fully under
stand and freely proclaim. Yet TO
: all this it will be a potent infuenc
, in the politics of the country. 1t
doctrines and its demands will re
: cieve respectful consideration iron
all parties and its power will be fel
in Legislative assemblies. It may i
time work reorganization in pa,
ties. but those who anticipate tina
it will enter the field as a new part
, or expect that it is an attachment @
3 either of the old parties will be dis
appointed.

QUICK WORK.
Four Cattle Thieves Run Down on
Short Order.

Sheriff White has ret urned from
Springfield with John Pritchard in
custody. The prisoner is charged
with stealing cattle and on the same
allegation Lee Griffith, Jason Crit
eth and James Howard have all been
arrested.
Last Friday Pritchard sold to the
Bailey brothers of this city, forty 3
year old steers and agreed they
should be delivered the next day.
After the contract he left town say
ing that he had a telegram saying
bis mother was very sick at Sedalia.
w. D. Bailey had an idea that the
transaction was not straight and
told Sheriff White of his suspicious.
Saturday the cattle We're delivered
as contracted, but the two Griffiths
and Howard were arrested. It was
discovered that the steers had been
taken from the Mccormick pasture
in Barton county and were owned
by parties in Lawrence county.
Sheriff White got an inkling OF
the fact that Pritchard had gone
south instead of north, and he fol
lowed the trail to Springfield. He
reached that town Sunday morning
| and the first man he saw was John
Pritchard standing on the depot
platform evidently waiting for his
| partners in crime. They had prob
ably arranged to meet at that point
and divide spoils.-Nevada Mail.
