of these enthusiasts at that time, whose
view of the political situation was seen
through the roseate hued spectacles OF a
reform organ, was certain that a man
BY the name Of Brown would be elected
governor of Missouri, and bet every
thing he had except the clothing on his
back and young wife. Either his af-
lection for his wife Or his knowledge of
law prevented his making wager OF
her, so as a last bet he wagered his serv-
ices for year against $500.
'.Of course he lost, and borrowing 8
few dollars from friend he sent his
wife back, to her folks in Missouri,
while he presented himself to the saloon

made the bet The latter, more as a
joke than anything else. grubstaked

first month small find rewarded his
labors, and cupidity then caused the sa-
loon keeper to insist on the payment of
the wager in full To curtail the nara

service scrupulously and located two
more mines, from which the winner,
though now wealthy, is still drawing
dividends. Upon the fulfillment of his
obligation he sent for his wife, and is

pressed Mr.. Fifield that he opened COM
munication with the board of Worlds
fair managers.
This correspondence, although appear
ing to the commission to suggest an i'm
possibility, led them to make visit to
Ashland, and in company with Mr.. Prem
tice to view the quarries. After looking
over the ground they practically accept
ed Mr.. Prentice's generous tender and
agreed to take the stone as soon as it
was broken from its bed and move and
erect the same on the grounds to be
designated by the fair officials at Chica-
go. Accordingly work was commenced
with five steam channelers and about
forty men on the 1st Of August last,
since which time the work was pushed
until the large pillar has been success
fully broken from its bed and worked
out.
Mr. Prentice's first proposition to fur
nish the monolith was for a stone just a
trife larger than the Egyptian obelisk,
which is 105 feet Z inches, exclusive of
the foundation, and 8 feet square at
the base. He first intended the mono
18th to be 1O8 feet in length and 8 feet
Q inches at the base, but upon a later
consideration decided to have it lis feet
long, 10 feet at the base and 4 feet
square at the top. The apex will be
about feet long and will be tapered to
about 6-inch tip. The entire monolith
will rest upon foundation OF granite
10 feet high and 10 feet square.
When the stone was raised from its
bed DR.. Edwin Ellis, of Ashland, made
speech to the spectators which was re-
ceived with much applause.

reputation as q writer-had published a
small volume in fact-one of his COM

verses on the sounds they were hear

fifteen minutes he produced this:
Hear the music of the hammer
As it bounds from rock to drill:
See the ore piled near the windlass
AS it glistens on the hill; ,
Hear the giant" cannonading,
Throwing out its precious load,
And the merry song at evening
In the miners log abode. :
There's vein of love and pathos
In each hardy miners breast,
And the thoughts of home and loved ones
AS he lays him down to rest
Are as sweet to him, though humble,
AS to king upon his throne,
For the miners heart oft fingers
With the loving ones at home.

The far west is still the land of ro-
nance to many million Americans, bnt
it is no longer the wild west. Railroads
traverse it in many directions, and its
fertile valleys are turned into farms,
while mining towns and stock ranches
thickly dot all it's wilder regions. The
day of the trapper and Santa Fe trader
passed long ago. The day of the scout
and Indian fighter is almost gone. After
the era of action comes the era of verse,
and two eminent men have distinguished
themselves in both 1ines-Joaquin Mil
Ter and Captain Jack Crawford, the
s'poet scout"
The former is now referred to as quite
an old man, in complete retirement, al
most hermit at his home in the foot
hills of California, yet he was born in
1841. Captain Crawford is considered
quite young man, yet he is nearly as
old as Miller-old enough indeed to be a
