which has lost trace of the Garfield
family since the death of the mar
tyred President, will be surprised
to hear that Nellie, the only daugh-
ter, resides in Washington. She
married Stanley Brown, her fathers
private secretary, and both she and
her husband, who is a young
lawyer, are of quiet tastes and fond
of literary pursuits. Mrs. Brown is
a strikingly pretty woman, with
brown hair, hazel eyes, a clear
complexion and a slight, graceful

Farming in Missouri.

rIoW tue JeHefSon Clty lflDune.
About 800 Missouri farmers have
expressed their views the past
week concerning the profits to be
derived from agricultural pursuits.
The verdict is decidedly against
wheat-ralsing. Some money can
be made out of corn by feeding il
to hogs, in case the hogs do not
die with cholera before they are
sold. By careful management a
little can be made out of cattle, and
the dairy business frequently turns
out well. The prevailing opinion
is, however, that farming does not
pay.
1t is a bad state of affairs when
the farmers in Missouri cannot
make both ends meet. 1t is said
in certain quarters that farmers are
constitutional grumblers. If this
be true, it may be added that no
industry in this country has SO
much ground for complaining. The
Missouri farmers are industrious
and economic. They live modest
ly, even poorly, and when, with
all their work, they cannot make a
good living and be reasonably free
from the harrassment Of debts, it is
time to seek the cause of their
trouble and seek to abate it.
That the farmer pays too much
for what he is forced to buy need
not be argued, because it is too ap-
parent to require proof. This is
the first evil to be remedied, and it
can only be accomplished by a re-
duction of the tariff. When this
takes place other troubles will reg
ulate themselves.

QufEoF, IT,, Jan. 20.--The farmers Ii
the southern part OF Hancock count.

nightly BY the screams Of some wild
beast about three weeks ago. Al first II
was thought TINT d woman or child was
In distress, md search was made but no
ono was. found. A. few mornings after
the occurrence one farmer, residing near
the Hancock county line, found IA COW
and her young calf lying In the barn lot
dead and their bodies mangied terribly.
Bloody trallB led from tho barn to the
pig pen OF another farmer, and here five
shoats were found with their throata cut.
The discoveries aroused tho farmers,
aud 1t was the opinion Of all that Il pan.
ther or some other wild animal was lurk-
ing tho neighborllood. Egs :li iis 5;!SS
Early tho next day Abraham Johns
went to his barn and saw the straw and
fodder moving. Just then n huge AMI
nal bounded outwitL d hoi rid scream
and disappeared into the timber near by.
The exciteuientInow spread through the
neighborhood and band OF men was or
Ranized. 39Astwo days search with dogs
was made, but no truce OF the, animal
could be found. The body Of IA fine
horse was found yesterday 10 a .pasture
n few miles above Quincy. The animal
was not dead, but its entrais had been
torn out. The people are thoroughly
alarmed, and many 4 Of them will not
venture from their homes at night. i,7S1 s5i
A band Of determined men Is now be-
ing organized and they have resolved to
capture the beast at NIL hazards. There
eau be little doubt that one or tive
panthers have had their hiding place In
Adams and Hancock counties for several
years. There are some people who pro-
TESS 10 believe that animals more danger
