For a whole week we have been in
quest Of reliable information about
the crops-especially the cotton crop,
and our information amounts to this :
Even in the delta the cotton is spotted
on some farms; the crop is good on
the dry sandy soil, butt failure in the
rich basins, where the stalk is large
but fruitless, which is more or less
plentiful on every plantation. In
aome farms the worms, both boil and
army, have done great damage. In
other places their work has been very
light. The same fact exists in the
hills, and on the whole our more reli-
able farmers say that the crop falls
one-third short of a good average. OF
course the corn, pea, potato and grass
crops were eve better. Such IS the
information that we get from reliable
farmers.

MORE DEMAGOGISM.

A member of the Legislature who
is trying to curry favor at home
without reference to right or just
ice, has introduced bill to repeal
Sec 9S6 of the Revised Statutes.
This bill, if passed, will make
every Sheriff and Circuit Clerk in
the State do great amount of work
for nothing, as it takes from them
the power to compel htigants to
give security for costs. The result
would be that the fees of many
Sheriffs and Clerks would not equal
their expenses. 1t will also have
the effect to lumber up the dockets
with many vexatious damage suits,
wholly without merit, brought only
to force compromise in which the
plaintiff can lose nothing, as the
Sheriff and the Clerk must work
for HIM for nothing, and if he
should secure anything from the
defendant he can dismiss his case
without paying costs.
The bill is not required for the
protection Of any poor but meritor-
|ious litigant. Sec. 9SS, Revised
Statutes, is ample protection to
them.
The bill should be n1pped in the
bud, and the introducer set upon
by the committee of the whole.

OMAHA, NEB., April l0.-The
jury in the trial of Miss 8eechler
for killing Henry w. KING, Jr., re-
turned verdict of not guilty at IL
O'Clock this morning, after deliber-
ating five minutes.
''All that l can say is that your
God will reward you," said Miss
Libbie Beechler to the twelve jury
men.
She will leave tonight for her
old home IN Cleveland, O.
Congratulations have come to her
from all sides and a hotel preprie-
tor has offered her a home in his
house temporarily.
She has no plans for the future
beyond going to Cleveland.
King was the son of millionaire
clothing dealer in Chicago. He and
Miss Beechler lived together in
Chicago, and the woman claimed
to be his wife King finally aban-
doned her and married.
He went to Omaha with his wife.
Miss Beechler followed him there
and shot him dead in the Paxton
House.
When she was placed on trial
Miss Beechler pleaded insanity.
The sympathy of the people of Oma-
ha was with her.

Death of DR.. Joseph Maus.
From the Pekin. H., Times.


News of the death of DIR. Joseph
Maus, which occurred at Mexico,
Mo. yesterday, has been received.
DR.. Maus was one of a family of
several brothers, all of whom have
been prominently connected from
time to time with the early history
of this city and county. The sub
ject of this sketch was born in
Pennsylvania, and was 76 years of
age at the time of his death. He
came to Illinois in the early forties
and located in this city, since which
time he has practleed medicine
here, at Mackinaw and Peoria. He
was q soldier in the late war-eap-
tain Co. B, Sd Illinois cavelry. He
erected the front part of the dwell
ing now occupied by Mr.. B. S.
Prettyman, and the residence
building on the corner just west OF
there, which was afterward de-
stroyed by fire.
DR.. Maus was three times mar.
ried. His last wife, who was the
widow of J. E. Allensworth, oi
Mackinaw, survives him. He
leaves no children. The funeral
occurs in Mexico, Mo-, to-day.

FROM the ST. Louis Republic
Representative Clark s resolution
setting forth the fact that room in
the State Capitol is being used to
furnish free drinks te the members,
to obtain their favor in opposition
to liquor bills, very naturally
caused a fu,ter of excitement
among the lobbyists and the liquor
advocates. The investigation
should be pushed until a full dis
closure and exposure is made of the
persons responsible for the indee-
ency. Il the bill for the regulation
of intoxicants is defeated by such
means as this, the Legislators re-
spon.ible for it had better move out
of Missouri Immediately after the
adjournment of the Legislature.
There will be no chance for tn. m
to grow up with the country where
their record is known.

Doctoring IN the Dark.

No sensible surgeon will attempt
the performance of an operation in
volving human life in a room
secluded from the proper amount
of light. A practitioner will not
attempt the diagnosis of compIi-
Gated disease unless he can see the
sufferer and make an examination
upon which to base his opinion re-
lative to the course of treatment
necessary to bring about a COM
blete restoration of health.
Notwithstanding the impropriety
of such action there seems to be a
great deal of doctoring done in the
dark.
BY this it is not intended that a
literal meaning be inferred, but
that a great many mistakes are
committed because of the darkness
which is the result of ignorance. It
needs no illustrations to demon
strate that gross ignorance has
caused many fatal mistakes to be
made in the treatment of diseases
by those who profess to be learned
In the art of healing.
In many diseases several organs
are more or less implicated and
what seems primary ailment may
be one quite remote. Fer in
stance, severe headache may
have its origin in a disturbed
stomach. On the other hand, sick
ness at the stomach may be caused
by blow on the head. The seat
of typhoid tever is the upper part
of the bowels, but most of its worst
symptoms are often in the brain.
Symptoms of disease as well as
iii eases themselves are oftentimes
followers or concomitants of some
unsupported organic disease and
this is peculiarly true of lung,
liver, brain and heart diseases in
general, for 1t is now known that
they are the result of kidney dis
ease, which shows Its presence in
some such indirect manner.
Several years ago gentleman
became convinced of the truth Of
this and through his efforts the
world has been warned of kidney
disease and as a result of continued
effort specific known as Warmers
Safe Cure was discovered, the gen.
eral use of which has shown it to
be of lnestlmable benefit in all
cases where kidney treatment is de-
sirable or necessary.
When consumption is threatened
see to it that the condition of the
kidneys is Immediately inquired
into and if they are found diseased,
cure them by an immediate use of
Warmers Safe Cure and the symp-
toms of lung decay will rapidly
disappear.
There are too many instances al
ready recorded of the terrible re-
suits produced by lack of knowl-
edge concerning the cause of dis
ease, and human life is of too much
Importance to be feolishly sacri-
feed to bigotry or ignorance.

Farmers Grievances.

fftm Tue jefferson CttS tribune.
The Missouri farmers are fire.
quently criticised for asking too
much. 1t is urged in certain
quarters that the agriculturist
wants everything his own way and
that he can see no merit in any
law which will not prove beneficial
to him.
1t is perfectly natural and proper
for every vocation to guard it's own
interests, and when it is remem-
bered that the farmer usually relies
upon some one else to protect him,
and that in the end he has not re-
ceived justice, the demands now
made by the agricultural class will
not seem so unreasonable. The
average farmer is not SO prosperous,
and all the fine theories about his
independence and contentment will
collapse when punctured with a
few facts we'll known to every man
of common intelligence.
No class of men work so hard or
receive so little remuneration for
their toll as the Western farmer.
When the farmer has harvested
his crop and his stock are ready
for market he must take what is
offered him-the market value of
his products at that particular
time. He has nothing to say about
prices. Others arrange this for
him, and no matter however un-
satisfactory, there is no appeal.
And when he becomes the pur-
chaser here again the markets are
made for him, SO that he becomes
the victim of both buyer and seller.
1t is not surprising that the West
ern farmers are becoming restless
and dissatisfied and now invoke
legislative action for the protection
of their rights. If few laborers
agree to strike for better wages
their alleged hardships are at once
heralded throughout the country
and every effort made to aid them.
But the farmers cannot inaugurate
a strike, because want and suffer-
ing would follow such movement.
They must depend upon more con-
servative measures and look for
relief from natural sources.
