Flowing with Dynamite.

One of the latest methods of loosening
the earth to depth of two three feet
and allowing the absorption of considers
BILE moisture in periods of drought is by
the use of dynamite electrically fired. The
inventor of this ingenious tilling OF the
soil drills holes two or three feet deep and
five feet apart, making LOGO to the acre.
In each hole is placed sufficient quantity
of the explosive, connected with a wire
leading to the battery, and after the earth
is tramped down the whole is discharged
by a spark-Yankee Blade.

EDITOR "BAzOo" The "cholera
scare" while it has undoubtedly kept
a good many timid and cautious peO-
pie from visiting the city to see the
exposition and the grand illumina-
tons, has been very beneficial to St.
Louis in an important respect.
1t has stirred up the municipal au-
thorities and the people to the abso-
lutte necessity of cleanliness AS
a preventive of contagion, and
streets, alleys and private prem
ises are undergoing such a
clearing up as they have not expert
enced for years. Nuiscances that have
hitherto defined well meant efforts to
abate them are being removed and ere
another week goes by the city will be
in apple pie order and smell as sweet
as if there were not a republican politi-
clan within her limits.
Even our mayor has emerged from
his retirement and issued a proclama-
ton to all good citizens to be up and
doing and has set them a good exam
pie by empowering the street depart
ment to resort to emergency" means
to cleanse the city.
On tomorrow, in in obedience to a
call from Capt. Mason, president ofthe
Merchants Exchange, there will be a
mass meeting of citizens in the Read
ing Room of the Exchange and what
ever steps remain to complete the
good work will then be taken.
So, the readers of the''BAzoo," who
are the people now on earth, need not
hesitate to come down next week and
witness the grand reception of the
Yelled Prophet of Khorassan and his
retinue and then lay over for few
days to take in the greatest fair and
the greatest exposition in the world.
Yes, and there1l be another attract

city convention will be held about that

then advertised for and the contract
let to Contractor Larkworthy, of
Quincy. The building was COM
menced in the summer of 1884, was
completed by the fall of 1885 and the
first session of the circuit court was
held within its walls in january, 1886.
The foundation was laid of the best
quality of limestone on solid rock
basis and the superstructure was made
of brick with Warrensburg sand
stone veneering. The building
has four entrances from as many
points of the compass. The east and
west entrances are through imposing

Roman and Grecian style of archi-

ing are 100 feet BY 40 feet. 1t is
two full stories in hight and raises to
the imposing hight of 165 feet. The
roof is combination of wood, iron
and slate and is surmounted bv tow

and galvanized iron and will before
many months, contain handsome

Near its top there is small balcony,
reached by a stairway from which can
be had magnificent view of the sur

The county officers are located on
the first floor and the court, jury and

very naturally a pride to the citizens
of the county, because in addition to
its elegance. cOmmOdiOusness and
adaptability, there are but few super
ior structures of the kind anywhere in
the West.
And that the bonds issued for its
construction are rapidly being paid, is
all the more to the credit of one of the
foremost counties in the best state in
the union.
As was made necessary by law, one
hundred signatures to petition were
required before the county cOur-
could order an election for the pur-
pose of issuing bonds for the construct
ton of a court house. This was done
late in the summer of 1883, there be-
ing no possible trouble in securing the
necessary signatures.
The county court at that time was
composed of Hons. VIM. Gentry, J.
W. Perdue and +. b. Taylor, who
were not only energetic but in whom
the people had confidence.
The proposition was to issue $780,
600 of $40 6 per cent Pettis county
court house bonds.

position was carried with an Opposi-

eight years, daughter of John ID. VAR

the accident and found her very much
Frustrated from the shock.
DIR. Shadburne, of the NJ, X. Il T.
Hospital, attended the little
sufferer, and thinks it very doubtful
as to her recovery. The leg will have
to be amputated near the hip, if she
rallies from the severe shock she has
undergone.
The father of the child is absent,
near Springfield, No., and has been
telegraphed for. The family are very
poor, and it is a case in which the
