LONDON, Oct. 30. - The steamer Brig
CELIA, from Baltimore for Barrow, put
into Queenstown yesterday for coal. The
vessel has had terrible experience, and
everything about deck and in the saloon
gives evidence OF the roughness of her pas

blowing with hurricane force, high sea
sprang up aud the vessel took much water
on deck. Some OF the sees which boarded
her did considerable damage TO her deck
fittings. One sea struck lifeboat which
was hanging in its davits and smashed to
pieces. The bridge rail was carried away
by another sea, while still another smashed
tho saloon skylights aud flooded the
saloon. During the height of the storm
one of the sailors belonging 10 the steamer
was carried overheard and drowned, il
being impossible to lower boat In the
sea then running TO rescue him.

be used in fine cakes instead Of but

The American farmers are the most
interesting figures Just now in the
eyes of the world, especially 50 in
those of the European states. The
crops of that state are short and the
ability of their farmers to supply the
necessities of the hungry populations
equally so. Americas wheat crop is,
if not already determined, at all
events beyond the genius of thefarm-
er. He can now, in other words, en-
ploy no means to increase its acreage
or enhance the volume of product.
But he can care for his other crops
and by skilled manipulation add ten,
fifteen and twenty per cent. to his
corn and other crops which supply
himself and his stock with food and
fodder. The more he has of these to
supply his own home necessities, the
less he will be dependent upon wheat
and its products, hence have larger
quantity to send abroad if the price
is but a rational ore. But the wheat
growers of America to-day stand firm
in the idea that they cannot produce
and sell wheat at a profit, unless
they get one dollar a bushcl for it at
the farm, and we feel sure that they
who are able to hold it, VIII get that
or more.

Protectfon's Pauper Pensioners.

The announcement that the direct
bounties paid from the treasury to
American sugar producers will be be
tween $12 100000 and ST., 5,000,0 600
in the first year ought toexcite indig-
nation at what is nothing more than
an outright robbery of the people.
For this money is to be paid in pen
sions to men who have no shadow OF
a Just claim to subsist ofpublic bOun-
ty. They are the cripples of thirty
years of high tariff taxation, it is
true, but this gives them no title to
public support as the paupers of pro-
lection. If they cannot carry on
business without a pension, Justice
demands that they should go into
some other business, or, if they are
hopeless paupers, go to their county
poor farms, as doctors, lawyers, car
penters, merchants, bricklayers, farm
ers, editors and all Others who do not
depend on the public treasury of
the United States would be obliged
to do under like circumstances.
Yet the direct pensions to these
paupers of protection is far cheaper
than the Indirect.
We have been paying out over 500
O0O, 200 a year in increased prices of
sugar under the indirect system. If
we buy off by giving them pauper
pension of SIS, 100000 year, free
trade in raw sugar saves us S45,-
600 900.
That is, it would save it, had not
the tax in raw sugar been transferred
instead of released. Although we are
to pay these direct pauper pensions
on the theory that we are getting rid
of the Indirect taxes on raw sugar,
these taxes, instead of being abolish
ed, have simply been transferred to
clothing, hardware, crockery, glass,
tin-plate and hundreds of other ar
ticles. This is one of the most glar-
ing frauds of the most fraudulent
tariff bill of modern times.
Nevertheless the superior rcheapness
of the direct pauper pension is de-
monstrated. As in the case ofsugar,
so in that of tin-plate, it would be
many millions saved for the Ameri-
can people to put tin-plate on the
free list and give every millionaire in
the tin-plate combine direct pauper
pension of S1,OOO,OO0 a year.-!St.

y swIFTLY-FLOwING underground
river was discovered in the southern
part of Benton county, Missouri, one
lay last week. The stream is known
TO be % feet in depth, and the top of
the water is 26 feet below the surface
of the earth. The river was discov-
cred last Saturday by farmer, J. II.
Miller, who has for years resided
eighteen miles southeast of Sedalia.
For a long time past the members of
Mr.. Miller's family have heard at in
tervals queer rumblings as of an
earthquake, or approaching storm.
Last Saturday AFTERNOON a roaring,
crashing noise from the orchard,
near the house, brought the members
of the family to the spot in body,
and the mystery was explained. The
land in the vicinity of Mr.. Miller's
place is comparatively level, and in
the orchard great hole, over 10
feet in diameter, was visible. The
earth had caved in and the space is
constantly growing larger. Asmoke
house that stood near had to be
moved to prevent it falling into the
river. Measurements were taken,
and it was found to be 81 feet from
the top of the ground to the bottom
of the water. How wide the river is
cannot be told. Several years ago
an attempt was made to drill n well
close by, and after reaching a certain
depth, the tools were lost. 1t was
supposed a pocket had been struck,
and the work stopped.

The discovery of Il molasses mlne
i'm Kansas is the latest sensation III
the land of sunfiowers. Some Els
worth, Kans., people proposeto bore
holes i'm the earth for molasses as
they have been bored for petroleum.
Kansas City engineers and scientists
have been consulted recently iii re-
gard to the matter. The PROPOSE
ton seemed so absurd that most ol
them thought it an attempt to giy
them. But the Ellsworth people are
in earnest and propose to sink shafts
for molasscs. The project was given
IFS cause when masses of syrupy ma
ture were penetrated in boring 1or
salt in Kansas. There were indIca-
tions that were was a great reservoir
of the substance. 1t was first thought
that this was Il bituminous product.
Investigation, however, showed that
Ii was not. 1T WIS ullliht p'N 'ii'C
ever before found in the earth. SAM
pies were removed and sent away Tor
examination. The answer received
was that the substance was what
might be called crude syrup. Much
of it was in compact form, about
the consistency of congealed oil. The
theory is that centuries ago vegeta-
ton in the form of rank sugar cane
abounded particularly in this por-
ton of Kansas where it is proposed
to bore. As petroleum was, to use
an engineers expression, "stewed
out" of bituminous coal by long
gradual process of heat from the in
terror of the earth, so this product
was ''stewed OUT of the prehistoric
sugar cane.

\ BOLD confidence game was play
ed in Platt county last week. The
swindle on the farmers was organic
ed by a man named Williams who
was subsequently run out Of town
by the police. He advertised ex-
tensively for a farm and received
over three hundred replies. In each
case lie wrote to the parties that the
description of the farm suited him in
every particular, but it would he

buyer to come and inspect the
property, and this would save ex-
pence and be q guarantee that the
owner had given a truthful discrip-
ticn. In this way he secured several
thousand dollars from unsuspecting
farmers in the west.

The sheriff of Webster county, this
state, had a comedy of errors played
on him that beats Shakespeare S
version by fifty per cent. A man
named james Trader, had a valid
claim against the county and the
sheriff paid it as he thought, but sub
sequently found that there were two
James Traders in his bailiwick and
he had given the money to the wrong
one. He was compelled to pay the
right one out of his own private
pocket. Burning with desire for
vengeance he issued warrant for
the fraudulent James and itwas sery-
ed on third james Trader, of Web
ster county. This man, after prov
ing his innocence, sued the sheriff for
damages for false Imprisonment, and
the jury gave him verdict of $405
and costs. That sheriff is wearied
with the Trader family and especially
with those christened ''James."

THERE Is a movement now on foot
at Excelsior Springs, Clay county,
to organize a City Improvement
society" The papers there are agitat-
ing the subject, and the people seem
to be in favor of the enterprise. 1t
will be the first town in the state, so
far as known, to organize society
of this character, and the community
is toi be heartily congratulated for
taking the advance step. The exam
pie should be contagious and spread
to every town i'll Missouri and Kan
sas. Such a society is needed in every
village. no matter how small it may
be. Wherever there is Il community
there are grounds to be cared for
and adorned. In the New England
states Village Improvement socic-
ties have been in operation for
years, and they have been tried in
California for short time. The ex-
pertinent, wherever tried, has been q
great success. In every village in
which these societies have operated,
they have improved the sanitary and
physical conditions of the place.
Such societies have taken old and de
caying towns in the East and have
by their efforts transformed them in.
to neat, orderly and beautiful
places.

Is there never to be an end to
stories of Russian outragcs? The
utterly unjustifiable exile OF the
Jews, the unparalleled cruelty to pOlit-
ical prisoners, the stupidity ignorant
censorship of the press, and the COM
plete repression of all progress in the
line OF human liberty,in that vast en-
pire, altogether, make the BLACKLIST
blot upon the record of the world.
The inquisition was carried On in an
age of intellectual darkness and it
was the product of superstition and
fanaticism. The Russian outrages
are perpetrated by an enlightened
government, deliberately, to main
tain the power of u reighing family,
to prevent the fall of a despot's gov
ernment.

The MOberFy Nurseries.

Last Thursday we had a pleasant
call from {. f. Dulany, who is repre-
senting the Moberly nurseries oi
which Messrs. Baender & Sinnock are
proprietors.
This firm has built up an extensi ,e
patronage within the last few years,
and now has several agents canvass
ing in their interests.
The Moberly nurseries are strictly
reliable and guarantee all stock as
represented.
We were shown varieties of small
fruit, such as Strawberries, raspber-
ries, gooseberries and currants,
grown at these nurseries, and pro-
nounce them the finest we ever saw.
While in small seed fruit, cherries,
plums, grapes, etc, the specimens,
which had been preserved in alcohol,
were quite in keeping with the varie-
ties of smaller fruit shown us.
They also have a full line of peach,
pear, apple and other fruit trees and
ornamental shade trees. shrubbery.
etc, etc.
In fact the Mobcrly nurseries have
no superiors and few equals when it
comes to first-class nursery stock of
all kinds.
They have donea great deal ofimport
ing from France and Germany with
the view to getting the best of stock
for hardness, healthfulress, longevi-
ty and productiveness, and Judging
from the varieties of fruit we have
seen they are succeeding admirably.
When in need of nursery stock you
can not do better than to give the
Moberly nurseries an order.

THE announcement that Louis Bull
ling, the fugitive wife murderer, had
been captured, created much excite
ment in st. Joseph where the crime
was committed, one day last week.
The arrest was made by Pinkerton
detectives at Galveston, Tex. The
matter of identifying him was easy,
from the fact that half of one ear is
missing. Bulling escaped from the
Savannah jail on the night of April
9th, just one week before the date
fixed for his execution. His escape
was made by saving into fifteen bars
Of his cell. He was helped from the
outside, and was seen in st. Joseph
the night following his escape. The
crime for which Bulling was sentenced
was one of the foulest ever committed
in Northwest Missouri. He murder
ed his wife at the Herbert house,
January, 20, 1888. She had left him
because of his dissolute ard brutal
habits. He was arrested and had
three trials, being convicted twice,
and was sentenced to die on the scat
fold. The last time he was sentenced
was on March 9th, but he was grant
ed 4 stay of execution until April
18th, escaping from jail on the night
of April 9th. As soon as Bulling is
taken to st. Joseph special session
of Judge AntOny's court viii be held,
and a new sentence day decided up
on.

Missouri Labor Com m fssioner.

The law requires the labor commits
sioner to make an inspection of, and
to report annually on the condition
of the factories and work shops o
the state; also to make n showing o
the value of goods manufactured
cost of raw material, amount paid
out for wages, salaries, taxes and in.
surance, fuel and repairs for each
Touring mill, saw mill, brick yard,
creamery, machine shop, foundry, i'll
fact every manufacturing establish
ment in the state. The commissions
er of labor is also required to make II
report showing the wages paid EN-
ployees in manufacturing establish
ments, and the conditions of work
ing women in the large factories of
the state.
In addition to these investigation
labor commissioner Hall has taken
up one that will be of interest to the
farming class and we think benefit
TO the entire state. He prepares
blanks and sends to each railroad
station agent in the state, and also
to each river shipping point. These
blanks whentilled out will show the
surplus commodities in carload lots
mentioned in the caption headings of
the blanks, and these commod-
tiles are the products of the farm,
factory, forest and mine. These ship
ments are only the out shipments
from each station, the out shipments
being the surplus of that station.
These blanks are prepared for JOG
counties in the state; 3 counties hav-
ing neither railroad or river shipping
points. These station shipments,
when added together for each coun-
ty, will Indicate the surplus of that
county, and when the county ship
mcnts are added, will show the states
surplus. 1t is an easy matter to fix
u fair valuation OH n car load of the
commodities mentioned, multiply
this by the number of car loads of
that commodity, the result will be the
value of the states surplus of that
commodity; add all of these values
together and the result is the total
value of Missouri's surplus.
This information will be given in
the labor commissioners report by
counties, arranged alphabetically, be-
ginning with Adair and ending with
Worth county. \ person living in Il
distant state or foreign country, de-
string to come to Missouri, can look
at each county and tell from the sur
plus, not only the county but the
station that is best adapted to his
business. If family coming to Mis-
souri,, has this information before
them, they will save great deal of
time and money by knowing in what
county to locate.
Howard county, in 1890, shipped
III car loads of hogs, say an aver
age of 60 head to the car gives %
020 head of hogs from Howard coun-
ty alone. The other shipments will
show for themselves. 1t is very i'll
teresting to note what counties excel
in certain commodities. Cooper,
Vernon and some others rank very
high i'll fruit shipments while Scott
county comes forward with over
900 car loads of watermelons. In
other counties the lumber and tie
are immense, as are also
the lead, zinc, iron, coal, wood, fax,
ilour, hay, etc.
