A TWenty-One Feet Steer.

LOUISIANA, Mo-, Feb. 4.-B. II.
Watts of this city sold to-day a steer
of gigantic proportions. The bovine
giant Is 10 hands high and measures
81 feet in length, - feet, 4 inches
around girth; IL feet, 6 inches
around brisket and is six years old.
Lewis Baldwin, cattle dealer OF
Roodhouse, ILL.,, was the purchaser
for a circus. Mr.. Watts could have
sold the monster to Lemon Bros
circus last summer for $500 if the
circus train had contained a car
large enough in which to transport
him. The only one available was
the elephant a but the proprietors
were afraid to put the two together.

Correspondents OF the Ledger
RUSH HILL, Mo-, Feb. IA
widower Of our town a few weeks
ago went over to Illinois in search OF
a wife. He there met awidow suited
to his fancy. He made the object
of his visit known to her and after &
few days returned home and opened
a correspondence with the lady.
Everything seemed to be moving on
satisfactory so far as he was concern
ed. But before taking so important
a step she concluded to make a per-
sonal investigation. So she packed
her trunk with the necessary APP
parel for the wedding in case she
found things satisfactory. When
she arrived here she went to the ho-
tel and after making a few acquain-
tances she proceeded in a business
like way to investigate. After few
days research she informed the wild
over that she could not accept his
proposition and boarded the east
bound train Sunday for her home in
Illinois, leaving the widower to
mourn over his misfortune.

Senator yest and Anti-Option.

UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHING
TON, D. C.,Jan. %. ,1Se3.-MY DEAR
COLONEL JONES: I have just read
the editorial in your paper of JAN
uary 26 entitled Taxation for Pro-
hibition," and I desire as a Demo
crat to thank you sincerely for
having published it.
/ consider the anti-option bill the
most dangerous piece of legislation
except the force bill, that has been
brought before the senate during
my service. 1t is unconstitutional,
undemocratic, and revolutionizes
our Government. 1t absolutely an
initiates all State rights and makes
local self-goyernment 8 mere ira
dition.
l was greatly surprised by the
action of the Missouri House of Rep
resentatives, and al account for it
by supposing that the Demo-
Gratis who voted for the resolution
had never read the anti-option bill
or the debate in the United States
Senate. OF course I shall refuse to
obey any such instruction, eyen if
it passes the State Senate, for / be-
lieve the bill to be unconstitutional,
and would commit perjury if 1 gave
it my support. Very truly, ETC.,

The Minnesota Legislature has
introduced an anti-hoopskirt law.
The bill is as follows:
SECTION 1. 1t shall be unlawful
for any person to manufacture or
sell, or to offer for sale or use, or to
permit the manufacture, sale or use
of any hoopskirt or hoopskirts or
anything like thereunto within the
limits of Minnesota.
SECTION 2. Any person violating
this act or in any way assisting the
violation of any provision of this
act shall be punished by a fine of
not less than s25 for each offense,
and in default shall be imprisoned
in the county Jail for a period not
exceeding 80 days.
Referring to this matter the st.
Louis Post-Dfsp1teh says: The
Minnesota Legislature a year ago
passed a law prohibiting tights.
Now it takes action against hoop
skirts. Something is the matter
with the granger's imagination.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. T.
Lobbyists are here in swarms. st.
Louis, Kansas City and st. Joseph
have large delegations here in the
interest Of the measure known as the
Grocer's bill, which is being con-
sidered by the Senate Committee on
Judiciary tonight and at this writ
ing it is hard to tell what the report
Of the committee viii be. Wells Il.
Blodgett and Hon. Fred Lehman
are here. Mr.. Lehman made an able
argument before the House Judi
ciary Committee last night against
the Fellow-Servant bill but the com
mittee reported a substitute which
embodied the principal features OF
four bills before the committee. Mr..
Lehman will be remembered as the
man who made such a great speech
at the Democratic rally in Mexico
last tall.
The Senate passed Senator Stones
bill to-day making all the paving
and curbing of streets and alleys
and cutters chargeable to the prop
erty adjoining such streets and al
leys. Senator McGInnis opposed
the bill warmly but it passed by a
vote of 20 to 10.
In the House, Moore's Stock
Yards bill was defeated by a vote Of
81 to 81. The bill only allowed
stock yards to charge 20 cents per
head for horses, cattle and mules
and also provided that they could
only charge Is per cent in advance
of the market price for feed for the
stock. There was a long and spirit
| ed debate over the bill.
A bill was introduced by Mr..
Bond, of st. Louis, fixing the max
imum rate at $50 per year to be
charged by telephones. The caused Of
the introduction of the bill was pub
lished in the P0st-Dispa tch and
have been informed by several Of
the st. Louis delegation that it is
substantially correct. A collecting
agency has made contracts with all
renters of telephones in st. Louis
that they could under the old rate Of
800 per year. This. agency has in
troduced the bill and of course will
get whatever reduction that is made
in the bill, providing it becomes a
law.

DURING last year $14,130 were
spent on the roads in Audrain
county exclusive of S., 165 for
bridges. Audrain county has per-
haps the best bridges of any county
in the state, butin spite Of the large
amount of money spent on our
roads they are not what they should
be. The system of working the
roads should be changed. Much
more could be gotten for the money,
we think, if the work was done by
contract.

The Audrain County Court dur
ing the next few months will likely
make some much needed improve
ments on the Court House and
Court House yard. Water win like

building on the northwest corner of

viii likely be made under the south
stairs in the building and a cellar
put in and the entire building heat
ed with a furnace. These improve
ments are much needed and in the
long run will prove economical.
