Crops I'm Missouri.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Sept. III. - The
weather crop bulletin of the Missouri
weather service for the week ending
September 10 says: Sunshiny days
and cool nights with heavy dews
characterized the week until the 10th,
when one of the most general and
beneficial rains of the season began,
continuing through Saturday and
Sunday.
This rain has advanced late corn be-
yond all danger from drought condi-
tions, but an early frost of sufficient
intensity to damage the lowland crop
is greatly feared, as many farmers
place October 10 as the earliest date Of
assured safety. The early plant has
matured finely and cutting has already
commenced in many of the southern
counties.
Irish potatoes are very poor. Sweet
potatoes are very poor. Tobacco, cot
ton and sorghum are in fair condition.
Fruit prospects continue to decline,
and a very small yield is expected.
The acreage of clover seed is below
that of last year.

New YORK, Sept. 14.-At $40 o'clock
last evening the last of the quaran-
tined passengers of the steamship
Normannia were landed from the ex-
cursion steamer Cepheus on Fire
island, the baymen having retreated
when the Sixty-ninth New York
militia and the naval reserves APP
peared on the scene. The trouble is
thought to be over.
Great hustle followed the arrival of
the passengers at the hotel. Con-
sidering the fact that, 500 guests
arrived within five minutes, it was
natural that some confusion should
result. Everyone was good natured,
however, and waited patiently until
assigned to their quarters. Such
progress was made by the temporary
hotel clerks that inside of two hours
all were comfortably located. No dis
tinction was made in the disposition
of rooms. 1t was all a lottery, but
there was no grumbling; everyone was
too happy. Gray haired men jumped
about in the sand like boys. The sec
ond cabin passengers were put in the

TO AGENTS.

HOmeSeekerS' excursions,
1892, on August 30and Septem-
Der 18th, a rate of one lowest
firstclassfair will be madefrom
eastern points to points on our
line for two homeseekers' ex-
cursions. These tickets will
be sold at all the principal rail
way points as far east as
Buffalo and Pittsburg. Tick
cts will be good within twenty
days from the date of sale and
stop overs will be allowed after
passing the Missouri river. It
is expected that there will be
quite a large immigration of
intending settlers to Nehras-
ka, northwestern Kansas and
eastern Colorado, during this
summer and fall. This immi-
grafton can be very largely in
creased by judicious advertis-
ing and work by the various
communities tributary to our
line. It is therefor suggested
that sections proposing to pre-
pare such advertising matter
for distribution in the east in
regard to the inducements
they have to offer the farmer,
the business man and investor,
should begin to get their adj
vertising in shape at as an
early a date as possible. In
case their plans contemplate
sending a good advertising
man to distribute their matter
and attend to their advertising
generally,this~ departmentmay
be able to give valuable point
ers as to the best method of
doing the work.
[ think it is desirable that
editors Of the papers along
our line should beginagitating
the matter in order that the
people may be prompted to do
more Or less individual work
with their friends in the east
in the way Of sending bymail
such matter as the different
counties or districts may pre-
pare in pamphlet form or in
the shape of extra editions Of
their home newspapers giving
information as to the re-
sources and advantages, and
directing attention to the very
low rates that will be made to
enable them to come and see
for themselves that the repre-
sensations are not really upto
the reality.
The company has recently
a pamphlet in regard
to the agricultural resources
IF Nebraska, which will be
furnished free to those who
nay desire to mail it to their
friends in the east. This
pamphlet treats of Nebraska,
northwestern Kansas and
EASTERN Colorado. wish you
would present this matter to
EDITORS at your place and also .
o other parties who may be
in settling up va
ant farm lands of this state.

DROPPED DEAD.
A. L. Thompson, of CerescO, Dropped
Dead ON the Street Monday
Afternoon.

The people of Mankato will be
shocked to learn of the sudden death
of Mr.. A. L. Thompson, of Ceresco,
one of the pioneer settlers of Blue

GONE TO REST.
After a PrOtracted Illness of Two
Years Mrs. Grove r. Johnson
Passes Away.
Her Wish That She Might Die Peace
fully Fully Gratified.

Clorlnda Clyde Johnson, wife of
Grove E. Johnson and daughter of
Pierre l.. and Anna Vranizan, died at
the home of her parents in this city at
o'clock Sunday morning.
Deceased was born in Auckland,
New Zealand, Sept. End, 1869. When
four years of age her perents removed
to San Francisco and in May, 1886,
came to Mankato. In September,
1889, Clyde, as she was Familiarity
known, was married to Grove e. John
son, and six months after with her
husband removed to Hutchinson, Kan.
After a short residence there she
was taken with La Grippe, which de-
veloped into tuberculosis consump-
tion, and her wish to be brought home
to the parental roof where she might
receive the care which only fond par
entS could give was gratified. The
young wife fully cOmprehended that
for her the sweets of life were at an
end, and for two long years she
patiently and uncomplainingly await
ed the call which at last came.
An oft repeated wish, feelingly eX-
pressed, was that she might pass away
peacefully, and her prayer was heard
by her Maker, for she fell into sleep
with that Inconsistencies which
comes over Nesting babe in the arms
of fond mother, and the cheerful
spirit which suffered long and patient
ly left the worn and ematiated body
of clay to rest in peace and quiet with
the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
To Mrs. Johnson death had no horror.
Long suffering had robbed it of it's
sting, and although conscious to the
last, she murmured not at the know
ledge of dissolution.
The husband and family have the
deepest sympathy of all in this hour
Of their great bereavement. The
household of Mr. and Mrs. Vranizan
has been twice entered by the hand Of
death since their residence in Man
kato, taking therefrOm two loving and
promising daughters. Anna, wife of
Mr. w. G. H9rr, is now the only sur
viving child, and may she be spared
for many years to comfort those whose
heads are so deeply bowed in sorrow
and whose heart-StringS are so nearly
torn asunder by the ineXplicable de-
cree of the Almighty.
Funeral services over the remains OF
| the late Mrs. johnson will be held at
| the family residence, corner Pearl and
| Hanover streets, Tuesday afternoon
at two o'clock.

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB.

Friday evening about twenty-five of
the business and professional men Of
the city met at the law office of B. D..
Smith to take steps toward forming a
club for the purpose of studying and
discussing the questions of the day.
Rev. A. r. Taylor called the meeting
to order and stated that he had been
requested to outline the object of the
meeting, which he did briefly, stating
that there was a feeling that closer
acquaintance should be made with
the great social questions of the day,
and that their good and bad features
should be determined upon by more
intimate knowledge before they are
universally adopted or condemned.
Upon the conclusion of his remarks,
an organization was effected by elect
| ing Prof McCleary chairman and G.
M. Hobart secretary. After little
discussion it was decided to form a
permanent club to study and discuss
social and economic questions, and
Prof. Kenaston, Prof. K9hler and Rev.
Mr.. Taylor were appointed commit
tee to draw up plan Of organization
and constitution and bylaws, the lat
ter of which they will report at a
meeting to be held at the same place
on Tuesday evening, Dec. goth, when
a permanent organization will be eff
fected, and it is hoped all members
will be present, including those who
were invited, but could not attend last
evening. Rev. A. r. Taylor will pre-
sent paper on a subject of his own
choosing to be announced in few
days, Prof O'Shea to lead in the dis.
cusSiOn.
1t would seem that there is room
and need of just such an organization
in our midst and that much good must
come from this new club and it's influ-
ence upon the community be for the
best. Questions in the line that will
be discussed by it are daily crowding
themselves to the front and all should
become more familiar with them
Then there is the social adva ntage
that is to be gained by men meeting
together, rubbing off the rough edges
becoming better acquainted with each
other and promoting that brotherly
feeling that ought to exist amOug men
There is no reason why such a clut
should not succeed here, and as be-
tween thirty and forty gentlemen
have signified their willingness to take
part in it, and judging from the in
terest that was manifested last even
ing, there is no question but that il
will.
