EXCITEMENT ABOUT AN ELECTRIC LIGHT
PoLE.-Some excitement was oansed on
King street to-day By the rumor That the
electric light pole which he'd been erected
on the south side of that street. between
Royal and Pitt, would be cut down by order
of the owner Of the property in front of
which it was erected. 1t appears that the
pole was erected against the will Of the
owner of the property, and as Judge Norton
was not in the city to issue an injunction Mr..
]. M. Johnson, the agent for the owner.
said he would have the pole cut down and
test the right of those engaged in erecting
the poles to do go without gaining consent
of the property owners. In the meantime
police officers we're directed by Lieut.. Smith
to arrest any ono who ehouid attempt to cut
down the pole, and q crowd gathered to
witness The fun Mr. Johnson says he wants
to have no ado about the matter, but only
to have the rights of his client protected,
and that at convenient time he will have
the pole removed

Gen. John W. Mobiles appoint
ment as a member of President
Harrison's cabinet is a very fit
one to be made. He was a good
soldier, is a leading lawyer of the
State, model citizen, a stalwart
Republican who will fill the place
assigned with becoming dignity
and credit to himself aud with
honor to the President and the
party. His appointment is the
dawn of light to Missouri Repub-
licans. 1t means more than may at
first appear on the surface. II
means a recognition of 95 to SO
per cent. of the Republican party
in the State, the party management
and the noble work which SC
nearly secured Bourbon defeat III
1888. 1t means encouragement for
greater effort in 1890 and 1892
1t means that party organization
shall be pushed to the front, sup
ported and maintained, and party
zeal rewarded and respected, while
disturbers and silks and sullSs
shall be discouraged and relegated
to the rear. 1t will stimulate
Republicans for future effort to
"stand up for Missouri (as the
Star-Sayings SO well puts it, in an
article copied elsewhere } and will
serve to close up the lines in weak
places. Il is such a recognition
of the State Committees manage
ment as will rejoice and enthuse
every zealus Republican in the
State who prefers principle and
the means to attain, it, above
personal aggrandizement. nt.-North

California Letter.

ED. GRAPHIc:-Perhaps a letter
from the little city in which We
have located will interest some OF
your readers.
Lemoore is a growing town oi
about 600 inhabitants. 1t is stu.
ated in the western part of Tulare
county, California, on the Southern
Pac 'fic railroad, twenty miles west
of Goshen. On the east the Sierra
Nevadas loom up sixty-fve miles
away, and on the west the Coast
Range forty miles distant.
We have been having very
pleasant weather,-the grass is
green, and the fruit trees are in
bloom.
From what we can see and hear
this appears to be as fine a section
as can be found anywhere in the
state. Fat cattle, FAST horses and
fine sheep live all the year round
on pasture.
AS for fruit, this section cannot
be beaten, raisins, grapes, peaches,
pears, apricots, plums and nee
taines grow as fine in size and
quality as can be found. Large
tracts are being put out in vine
yards, and other fruit this year,
which will greatly increase the
wealth already derived from that
source.
A great deal of wheat is sown in
this section, and the prospects are
good for an immense crop this
year. Workmen who came to this
country to make an easy living,
are badly left; but when they
avoid the saloon and the dry
goods box, they stand very good
show, if they are steady and relia-
BILE. Farm hands get thirty dol
lars mouth and board, by the
year, and in harvest 81 to 81 so per

In conclusion | will say, we have
a fine climate, good soil and plenty
of water. Come and see for your
self aud you will be satisfied to
stay. LEWIS G1LL,

Seasons Of Marked Peculiarities.

ED. GRAPHIC: | see that editors
and Others have been giving &C
counts of peculiar winters and
other seasons, and thought posi-
bly,, my recollectlons of the same
might be of interest.
The winter of 1S4S and 40 will
long be remembered because of
the heaviest sleet that had ever
been known by the Oldest inhabi-
tants then living. The ice, ON a
level, wss three inches thick, and
hundreds of deer were caught, but
before the ice melted they became
SO poor that they were worthless.
This winter was followed by an
excellent crop.
The winter Of 1850 and 81 was
warm and dry, much the same as
our present winter, until the first
of March, when it began raining
and showing, and the rainy wealth
er continued the entire summer.
The summer of 1851 was the
coolest that had ever before been
known and a like summer has not
been known since. Wheat was
good but very little corn was rails
ii.
The winter of 1852 and % was
noted for the heavy fall of snow
about Christmas. 1t drifted over
the tops of fences and travel was
turned from the highways across
farms. The railroads were block
ed on the prairies of Illinois and
the suffering was intense. The
winter was followed by an early
spring and good crop.
The winter of 1853 and 81 was
known in Illinois as the "cold
winter; much stock froze to
death, and every Jack in the coun-
try perished but one, and he was
saved by being put in a cellar un-
der a dwelling.
The winter of 1857 and 5S was
rather an uncommon winter.
There had been a large crop of
corn grown the previous summer,
but the late rains of the fall kept
it green, and ON the night Of the
last day of October it turned quite
cold and the corn froze; as con-
sequence, seed was very scarce
the next spring. However, after
the first cold snap it turned warm
and remained warm and dry till |
about Feb. GO, whenit again turn
ed cold and remained cold for
few days. r. my weather then set
IN and it continued rainy through
.he summer of 1858. From past
L am led to expect
,ool, wet summer for 1889.
