CLINTON's NATURAL GAS.
The Flow Increasing and Great
Hopes Being Entertained.

CLINTON, Mo-, Oct. 1S.-The
flow of natural gas at the mines of
the COOPERATIVE Mining Company
has materially increased within the
last "a hours. The pressure is
nearly or quite double, though no
drilling has been done for two days.
The indications are that the gas
bearing rock from which the gas
comes is the true gas rock, and
when probed a little further the
supply will be sufficient to warrant
its collection and application to
manufactures. The owners of the
mines have decided to case the gas
from the coal mine and continue
to bore, while the miners can take
out coal with safety. Property in
the vicinity of the gas we'll has
risen to boom value. 1t is hard to
get even an option on land near the
gas. Other prospectors will doubt
less begin to bore at once. In case
it is a weak flow, coal exists on the
same ground in inexhaustibie
quantities and of fine quality.

THE
Third Annual Convention of the
Association in Session in
This City.

Last nights trains brought in a
score or more of well-to-do gentle
men engaged in bee-culture, which
number was largely increased
to-day.
A LEDGER representative, drop
ping into the Sheriff's office this
morning, learned some interesting
facts regarding this growing indus
try. In October, 1889, a few
gentlemen interestedin the further
ance of the business, met at Hig-
ginsville and organized the Mis-
souri, State Bee-K Keepers Assocla-
ton. The second meeting was
held in Marshall in April last,
when the membership numbered
twenty-three. Since the first day
of that meeting the Secretary has
added forty new names to the roll,
making a total of slxty-three. The
meetings are held semi-annually;
where the next meeting will be
held will be decided before the
adjournment tomorrow evening.
The officers for the ensuing term
of six months will be elected to-
morrow. The present officers are !:
President, S. B. Leahy, Higgins
vile; vice-Presidents, Jesse Atkins,
Missouri City; G. B. Norton,
Prairie Home; E. F. Sanger, Pilot
Grove; M. V. B. Page, Nevada,
and P. P. Collier, Rush Hill;
Secretary, J. w. Rouse, Mexico;
Treasurer, R. Gaines Robertson,
Marshall.
The reports as heard show a
healthy growth of the industry
throughout the State, in spite of
the poor crop (25 per cent? the
past season, caused by awet spring
and dry summer.
Several new names were added
to the membership to-day. Most
of the time was taken up discuss
ing measures and hearing reports
from committees. Ameng the

A Mothers Crime.

MACON, Mo-, Oct. 19.-Four
weeks ago Amanda Stephens came
to this city from Middle Grove,
Monroe County, and was employed
as a domestic at the residence of
H. S. Williams. Last night she
gave birth to a child, born dead.
She tried to destroy the body by
burning it in a stove. Failing in
this she concealed it in the out
house vault, where it was afterwards
found. The mother, who is 20
years old, was arrested. She said
she did not attempt to burn her
child but she did throw it into the

For a solid cast steel spade a
farmer pays to the retail dealer in
the country store $3.50 to s1.75.
The wholesale price Is SIC per
dozen to the American dealer, but
this same manufacturer aGvertises
in the ''export edition" of the En-
cheering and Mining Journal that
he will sell these spades in foreign
lands at IS per dozen, just half
what he charges his own country
men. The name of this manufact-
urer Is not given. At the head of
the price list stands the following
editorial note: 1.-THE name and
address of manufacturers OF goods
quoted in this list can be obtained
from u.s." This arrangement
, esents awkward encounters be-
tween the manufacturer and his
American patrons. No one can
tell what firms are selling steel
spades to foreigners at So and are
charging American dealers just
twice that amount. Verify, the

NORTON CONFIDENT.
The Democrats Will Gain Leg
islative Seats in the
Seventh.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

@oHN NNS SN-
Congressman Richard II. Norton
spent an hour last evening about
the corridors of the Laclede. He
is on the way to Franklin county
to make a few speeches. "The
Democrats in the Seventh District
are satisfied with their prospects,"
he said, "and I am confident that
I will be elected"
Chow will the Legislative con-
tests result ?"
SWELL, the Democrats will hold
their own. The Democratic candi-
dates in Pike, Rails, Audrain and
Lincoln counties are certain to be
elected. Montgomery county is
now represented by a Republican
but the chances are that he will be
succeeded by a Democrat.
SIN Franklin county the Demo
Gratis are we'll organized, and it is
expected that they will elect a part
of their county ticket. AS to the
Legislative fight there I cannot
say what the result will be.
"Warren county, which gives
about LOO Republican majority
Is thoroughly aroused. There is
an independent ticket in the field.
and the fight between its support
ers and the Republicans is active
and somewhat bitter. If the indie
pendent candidate is elected, anC
the chances are in his favor, hi
will vote for Senator Vest.
while st. Charles county il
Republican, it will probably b.
represented in the next House by
a Democrat. The Democratic can
didate is a live, active man, and h
is making a thorough canvass. Thu
Democratic prospects in the Sew
enth District have become mucl
brighter recently"

The addition of $50 to the years
expenditures means with a MAORI
~ of men dependent upon their
labor the difference between a
savings bank account and debt.
And this $50 does not begin to in
clude all the extra burden which
the new law puts upon the con-
sumner, although it about expresses
the ratio of the increased cost of
living.
Ii may be taken for granted that
the man who receives an annual
salary of $1,000, of which he las,
year spent $1,000, must this year
90 without some articles that he
and his family have enjoyed, or
else get into debt, for it will
require about $1,000 to buy what
could have been purchased last
year for $1,000.

Good idea.
From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.

From the st. Louis POst-Dispatcb.
Mr.. o. c. Bryson of Louisiana,
Mo-, has been awarded the prize
of 500 offered by the Sunday Post
Dispatch for the best Exposition
idea. He suggested that there
be a contest of singers representing
al many States as choose to enter
vocal champions. The Governors
of the States are to select singers
of reputation for the competition
and the Exposition directors are to
appoint a committee of three judges
to pass upon the merits of the
singers. A day is to be set apart
for each singer, who will render
two selections, one in the afternoon
and one in the evening concert, ac-
companied by Gilmore's Band. A
prize of $1,000 is to be given to
the best singer and one of $500 to
the next best. This singing con-
test would be a most attractive
feature of the Exposition, and
would create widespread interest.

other places. The fire clay under
lies this bed of coal and is the best
of which we have knowledge. Its
bed varies from twelve to sixteen
feet in thickness. This clay is ex-
tensively manufactured at Mexico
and Vandalia into fire brick, pip
ing. thing and engine. stone furn-
ance and fire place Innings. Be-
sides there are several potterles
making ware and flower pots out
of it. Over a hundred thousand
dollars r employed in this bust
ness, which as yet is in its extreme
infancy. A million or two dollars
might be safely and profitably
devoted to the manufacture and ex-
portation of this inexhaustible fire
clay and not until this is done and
every eighty acres shall have its
family will the resources of Au-
drain county be in a fair way to be
fully developed. All this creates
a wide opening for the would-b
prosperous. No where can greater
inducements to emigrants be found.

The Cost of a Winters Outfit.


The increase of prices under the
new tariff law chiefly concerns the
consumers. The winter is near
and many people are beginning to
buy their supplies of warm cloth
ing, the cost of which is always an
important question with persons of
moderate means. The new tariff
law will add very greatly to the
coming season, for it must increase
the price of nearly everything that
goes to the making up of a winters
wardrobe
1t will he necessary for the
dealers, for example, to charge
about $40. so for a woman's ulster
that last year cost SIS; $3.50 for
what was then $40 suit of clothes.
The material for an all-wool dress
costs at least 50 more than it did a
year ago. A waterproof that could
be had last summer for Sc will cost
in the neighborhood of So.
The following table shows, with
a very close approach to accuracy,
how much the new tariff will add
to the cost of certain important
articles of the winters outfit. The
family assumed consists of a man,
his wife and a boy. The ar:i-
Giles enumerated are comparatively
cheap but of decent quality. The
woman is given a cotton and a
wooden house dress and a good
wooden dress for best wear. The
man and the boy are each given two
suits of clothes

Louis we too may have a word to
say in regard to it's location.
