Peruvian Gold Mines.

The gold deposits of Peru are histori-
cal. The enormous quantities of metal
found in the capital of the Incas by the
Spaniards were drawn principally from
the province of PancartambO. but old
workers are found in many parts of the
country. and the gold is very widely dis
tributed The entire subsoil of Peru
presents an almost unbroken network
of aurifcrous lodcs. The obstacles to
working the deposits are in some parts
almost uperable-want of water, in
accessible peaks. severe climate. and,
lastly. total absence of internal COMMUNE
cation.
1t is to be hoped. though, that within
a few years "A peaceful government may

Elevator Sickness.

The elevator in modern big building,
has only one drawback--the sickness it
causes when the car is suddenly stopped.
To people of a delicate constitution this
sickness is often such serious matter
that to them the elevator is a dangerous
blessing. This sickness. says cOntem-
porary. can be avoided by observing
simple physical laws. Elevator sickness
is caused by the same law that throws a
person to the ground when he gets off a
moving car in the wrong way. The
stoppage of the elevator car brings q
dizziness to the head and sometime a
nausea at the stomach. The internal
organs seem to want 10 rise into the
throat. All this comes from the fact that
all parts of the body are not stopped at
the same moment of time. The feet
being next TO the car floor stop with the
car, while other portions of the boy
continue moving. If the Dody rs whole
can be- arrested at the same time as the
feet, there will be no sickness This can
be done By placing the head and shoulders
against the car frame. Then there will
be no sickness. and, according to the
Scientific Press. it is a sure preventive.

Crops in Missouri.
From the Kansas City Times.

Nv shiiSe ~fsy AhhAS
Missouri is one of the favored
States this year as far as crops, the
ones that the farmers depend upon,
are concerned. Wheat was good
and was harvested in excellent
condition, and the quality is
superior. The hay crop was
abundan: and saved without dam
age. Throughout all the grass
growing region of north Missouri
the haystaeks and hayricks literal
ly cover the meadows. AS to the
corn crop, a much greater than an
average area was planted, and the
local rains in July and the more
general ones in August insure a
bountiful supply. The corn is
green from the ground to the tassel
and the ears have pitched off from
the stalks nicely. An abundant
crop is now an absolute certainty.
On many farms excellent crops OF
hungarian grass and millet were
sown and both these crops are now
ready to be harvested. Both make
good feed for horses and cattle.
The more recent rains have cover
ed the pastures and meadows with
a rich and luxuriant crop of fresh
green grass, a%ffording the very best
pasturage. This will make plenty
of feed for horses and cattle until
late in the fall, thus allowing the
farmers to sell a great deal more
hay an corn than they otherwise
could have done had the dry
weather of July continued. The
late rains have improved the crops
wonderfully, and from all accounts
no other State in the union is in a
better condition than Missouri.
Among other crops, and a very
important one, is that of the winter
apple, which is this year far above
the average IN other States, and
doubtless amounts to something
like ten million dollars worth.
Missouri for fertility of soil,
variety of crops, healthfulness of
climate, intelligence, industry,
enterprise and economy of her peo-
pie, deservedly ranks high, and is
the banner State in this year of
grace,

HANNIBAL,

A most successful meeting OF
the editors of Missouri was held in
Hannibal last week, where all those
in attendance were royalty enter
tanned. Hannibal is improving all
along the line every day, and in
our opinion much of the credit is
due to the Hannibal Journal and
to the Business Mems Association,
with a board of managers compos-
ed of the following enterprising
gentlemen: J. H. Garth, w. A
Munger, D. M. Dulany, A. R.
lowering, G.. T. Hayward, c. J.
Lewis, G. Voorhis, Adam Theis,
v. T. Strong, w. F. Chamberlain,
e. e. Ray, c. s. Warner, D. H.
Shields, Joseph Lesem and G. H.
T~rowbridge. Every member oil
the association, and, in fact, every
citizen of Hannibal, is working in
earnest and the good results show
clearly that such work is not in
vain. Hannibal is now a city with
electric cars, gas, water-works,
electric light, foundries, etc. Han.
nibal has the material advantages
and the work of improvement has
just been begun by the right men.

and industries of the Gate City viii!

Council of Mexico fully appreciates
the value of this company to Mex
leo and every way has done and will
do all in its power to make it the
success it should be. The only

has done or said ought to sham

Congressional Representation.

FROM the Star-Saylnss.
The very latest from Washing
ton gives the ST. Louis census as
459,457, and there is no probabili-
ty hat the official count will fall
below $4,000. There seems to be
no probability that Congress, at its
present session, will fix the basis
of Congressional representation.
This matter will be attended to at
the winter session of Congress in
time to enable the State Legis-
latures that meet in 1891 to redis-
trict their States in time for the
general election of 1892. The
population of Missouri in 1880 was
2 1885, $50. The trough COUNT
made public a few days ago by the
Census Bureau gives the State q
100000, a gain of 69l, 500. The
existing rate of Congressional
representation is one member to
each 151,712 population. Should
Congress decide not to increase the
ratio, Missouri will gain in the
Thlrty-secend Congress four mem.
bers, and St. Louis would have
three Congressional Representa-
tives from within her own limits.
The population of the United
States has increased within the 1C
years from SO, l55, 1888 to "a, OOO, 900
This, on the present basis, would
necessitate an increase in the
membership of Congress of up
wards of 80 members. The body
with It's present membership o
1923, is considered quite unwieldy
