4 WILD WOMAN OF THE WOODS

Over $50 persons were yesterday
securing the woods in search of an
unknown woman who lie said to be
roaming at large in the forest north
east Of Poplar Bluff. ab,u. twelve
miles near the head of Hickory Creek.
Last Thursday Afternoon George
Bancroft. a farmer living near the
head waters of Indian Creek, met q
strange woman on a byp,th in the
dense fores:s while searching for
some stray cattle. He came upon
her in q thickly wooded section, m, ct.
ing her almost face to face He des-
cribed he as being young with long
back hair, and her clothing hung
upon her in shreds. She bounded to-
ward him, and with a sh,iek tha'
might have been heard fully a quarter
OF mile, sprang into the d-nce thick-
ct and was lost to view, almost as
quickly as a deer could have disap-
peared. Bancroft was paralyz.d for
time. He could h ard y decide whe
thar it was IN appar;tion or a real wo-
man. but another man who Was at
work in the woods in the SINE neigh
borhood On the same day, described
strange being which he saw dashing
through the timbers, which resembled
the wierd creature seen by Bancroft.
Another neighbor heard unearthly
screams near his house Sa,ur .ay
night. What had been seen and heard
therefore was enough to arouse the
whole neighborhood into excitement
and yesterday morning the entire
population of Upper Hickory and
Indian Creeks we're in the woods at
an early hour searching for the strange
creature that had been the cause OF
of 90 much excitement. Six miles
square of dense forest was theron ghly
searched during the day without sue
cess. and the search still continues
amid intense excitement.

WORLDS FAIK aJATTEKs

A Constant Reader is informed that
the Worlds Colum bian Exposition is an
Illinois corporation, and that the Worlds
Columbian Commission is a body created
by Congress to supervise the proceedings of
the Illinois corporation. Most of the tropble
the Illinois corporation has experienced has
come through the assumption of the National
Commission OF a general power of control.
Ihe Illinois directory is really responsible
for the management of the fair. bat the ire
sponsible National Commission Is throwing
such obstacles in the way as Ii can. Re-
Gently the Illinois directory, thinking that
IL the National Commission was going To
run things the National Government might
contribute part of the expense, asked
Congress for S5,000,000. II was thought
possibly that this amount of money would
compensate the Illinois directory for the
inconvenience the National Commission had
subjected the directory to- Congress after
much discussion and many delays passed
bill appropriating $780, 600 in souvenir half
dollars, coupled with the condition that the
local directory should show vouchers to the
effect that Chicago had raised the entire
sum OF SlO,0C000O as promised, and, also,
that a guarantee should be given that the
Illinois corporation would provide such fur

nois corporation will have to raise s.. 5.OOO.-
600 over and above the $40, 600, 600 already
subscribed. making the account stand thus
10 the credit of the Illinois CORPORATION.
S15O00O00; to the credit OF TIE National
Government, S2,500,0G0 Blu: it is further
provided that if the Illinois corporation ac
ceDt the national gift it shall close the expo-
sition On Sunday. The State corporation
having provided six dollars to one from
the National Government think it a
little hard that the National Government
should insist upon conditions which will
greatly reduce the receipts of the fair.
Leaving out the propTiety Of the Sunday
closing provision from consideration it is n
question If the National Government can
lawfully control a State institution in such
d matter. 1t is true that the National Gov
ernment may attach any condition that it
may deem praSer 10 gift but Ii the gift
should be accepted and the conditions
ignored 1t is not clear what redress the
National Government would have. 1t GER
tainly seems a rather small business for
Congress to contribute so small portion of
the required amount and to make that small
contribution an excuse for imposing con-
dition which will probably reduce receipts
to The full amount of the national contribu-
tion.

.SENATOR HILL AND EX-SENATOR
n PLATT.

e95nator Hill occupies in ths Democratic
party about the same position ex-senator
Piatt holds in the Republican party. Both
the Senator and the ex-senator are pract-
cal politicians. They regard the distribu-
tion Of patronage as the key to political
power. Mr.. Hin was beaten In the Demo-
cratic convention by Mr. Cleveland, and
Mr.. Piatts candidate was beaten by Mr..
Harrison. Neither of these practical poll
ticians has the place in the procession of
place-hunters each would have had had
he been successful in convention. It is
now said that both Hill and Platt want to
be placated. In other words, each wants
the candidate whose domination he opposed
to put him az the head OF the procession.
The question In New York now Is. If Presi
dent Harrison will send for Platt when he
visits New York City. II is understood
that he will not unless prepared to make
overtures In. the way Of Federal patronage
In New ork. Senator Hill is also calling
public attention to the fact that he is not
thoroughly recoHciled to the nomination of
Cleveland. Hill was not present at the re-
ception when MIR. Cleveland was formally
notified of the fact of his nomination, and is
not known 10 have met the ex-President
since. He has not made up his mind more
than has Plat If he will take an active part
IN the pending campaign. As Mr.. HilFs
power in the Democratic party is about
equal to Platps In the Republican it might
be a good idea to let both remain i'm
IiIapated
The morning call., 1892-08-15

A report has been started to the import
that Jay Gould intends 20 aid a railroad to
reach san Francisco. OF course THE CALL
does not know whether or net this report
was started by Mr.. Huntington in hopes of
heading Of an effort of our own citizens TO
construct n railroad connecting at Salt Lake
City with Eastern lines, but we apprehend
that San Francisco can stand several rail-
read connections. Gould is interested in
Southern lines, and If he should extend his
roads TO San Francisco ii would not 10 ter
feTe with the line which our citizens are
preparing to buiId. We can stand several
railroads, justas Chicago. Denver and other
Eastern cities stand several lines of rail-
roads entering those cities Indeed The
CALL believes that San Francisco in ten
years from this time will have population
Cf over half q million people. Il will then
have . large business, and We shall require
something more than the single road which
runs over one of the worst passes in the
Sierra Nevada Mountains which could be
found. 1t is certain that the Atchison and
Santa Fa system has enterprise enough in
lis management TO strike for this city. Our
Central Pacific Railroad managers, when
that line was being constructed, said it
could never find business TO support it. Now
II IS fHueIelueGA UI the SOQEHeTD racine,
which runs for a long distance across a
desert country. The southern portion of the
State can very well support IL, but soon
it viii come TO San Francisco through the
san joaquin Valley, which is rapidly filling
up. and VIII aid in its support. There are
several routes for railroads north of the
Central Pacific, and the country bordering
upon them would settle up about as fast as
a railroad could be built. The Northern
Pac 6c Railroad must have a branch leading
TO San Francisco. The Chicago and North
western Railroad will eventually reach this
coast; so VIII the Burlington and Quincy.
San Francisco, now that its business men
have opened their eyes to the attempts of
Stanford and Huntington to ruin the city
and TO tax every product of the State in
orGinately 10 enrich themselves, will move
ahead with rapid bounds. The products of
California would soon double In volume If
we did not have to pay so great tribute TO
a few men that Ii eats up our profits and
discourages efforts upon the part of the
people who are now here and deters other
persons from coming to the State. THE
CALL predicts that the managers Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company have
nearly reached the end OF their expressions,
that hencefOrth they will. have something
else TO do.tban to hire railroads, steamship
companies, sailing vessels and politicians III
aiding them to gather in more money from
d generous people.

WEALTH PRODUCERS.

A single-tax advocate writes: ''As long
as the valuable lands of the country are mo-
nopolized 1t matters little 70 the wealth pro-
-producers how much or what kind of money
we have; they will get no more than enough
to give them bare living" We print this
paragraph to call the writer's attention to
<its absurdity. The borrowed premise that
land in the United States is in the hands Of
a monopoly is not true; neither is the con-
clusion that under existing conditions the
wealth producers earn only bare living.
The present standard OF wages enables work.
ingmen to accumulate property under the
ordinary circumstances of life. 1t is always
best to recognize the fact of progress. The
man who is made to believe that life has
nothing for him bat toll and prlvation is In
a way 10 became an anarchist Convince
llms on the other hand, that he can earn
more than his father could earn. that each
dollar he earns has much greater purchas-
ing power than a dollar had 40 years ago,

Condition, but willing to wait for the
