AN AMUSING COMMUNICATION.
'sBil Jones" Asks Senator Briee to

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 81
The Ohio office-seeker is nothing if
not humorous, and sometimes he is
not humorous. One, a Republican,
of course, seeing that not a loaf and
not a fish will come his way during
the Cleveland administration, has
strained himself in the endeavor to
extract some fun from the situation.
1t appears that III that region the
night school is a sort Of white black
bird. Here is a note written by the
Ohio man to Senator Brice:

Disappearance of az Island.

Expedition Island Is no more.
Your map shows it lying on the
northeast coast of Australia, about
% miles from the mainland. When
it Aourislled in all its glory, as it has
since time out of memory, it a a
beautiful tract of land, ID miles long
and one and a half TO two miles
broad. The Swedish trader Laem-
strom visited it early in the spring
of 1899, and the Dutch naturalists
of the Thignig gathered rare botani-
cal specimens and collected many
hundred sets of eggs, to say nothing
of the many other objects of natural
history, during the months Of May
and June last year. A vessel was
sailing in those parts quite recently
when the officers remarked the
absence of the island. The captain
ordered that soundings be made.
All around thousands of feet of
water were found. Finally, upon
observing that there we're no signs of
breakers on the former site of the
island, he ordered that they sail
directly across where the island had
formerly been. Soundings were
again taken, which resulted in find
ing hat the island had only sunk to
a depth of 4S feet below the surface.
1t was one of the largest islands on
the Australian coast and its sudden
subsistence is a mystery.

Uncle Jerry,,s Tip ON Hogs and Corn

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Feb. 81
Secretary Rusk, of the Department
of Agriculture, says that farmers in
all parts of the country are inquiring
as to the probable profit of feeding
corn to hogs at present prices. He
desires 10 state that the prospect Of
large returns from judicious feeding
has seldom been as bright as now.
In average years it takes about 9
pounds of hogs, live weight, to
bring the price OF a bushel of corn.
This year 5. pounds of hogs bring
as much as a bushel OF corn. If 10
pounds of pork are made from a
bushel of corn, which may be taken
as a fair return, then the present
prices of hogs would make corn
bring about &c a bushel if fed to
these animals, which is about twice
as much as it is now quoted on the
Chicago market.

HUDSON TIE HUSTLER.
The sturgean a~IDeteetiye'' Trapped
by the uruggists 0f C~eHtraiia--
Huds0H Wanted In SC. Louis.

s, p. Hudson, OF Sturgeon, who
recently sought to blaekmail the
druggista of Boone county by de-
handing a sum OF money from each
for alleged violation of the liquor
laws, an account Of which appeared
exclusively In the LEDaRR,' will
probably get himself into trouble
with the postal authorities as soon
as he is located.
Hudson, it seems, 10 possessed OF
an unlimited amount OF gall. From
his alleged headquarters in St.,
Louis he sent type written letters to
nearly all the retail druggists in the
state which read as follows:
"Under our contract to prohibit
the sale of liquors in your town, in
violation Of the Revised Statutes OF
1889, sections No. 4,621 and 1924,
we desire to advise you merely for
your information that we have IA
cases against your firm for violating
one or both sections above named,
and we shall instruct our attorney to
prepare the same for the coming
Grand Jury.n
He signed himself Manager of the
Star Detective Service.
This letter passing through the
mails is a violation of the postal
laws, as it is evident that fraud is
intended. The Chief Inspector at
st. Louis is on the lookout for
Hudson.
In nearly every instance druggists
were informed by Hudson that in
consideration of $3.50 paid him in
cash there would be no prosecution.
In Boone county, however, Hudson
was trapped. The druggists of Cen
~tralia and Sturgeon were onto him.
After considerable correspondence
with the detective it was agreed
that a conference should be held in
Columbia to stop criminal proceed
ings against the drug stores which
were to be indicted. Hudson was
on time and so were several of the
druggists. The alleged detective
told the drug store men that if each
of them would pay him $3.50
further proceedings world be stop
ped. The druggists now had Hud-
son where they wanted him, and re-
fused to give up a cent. In plain
terms they told him he would be
presented to the Grand Jury for at
tempted fraud. Hudson assumed a
digniied air, swore some, and at
tempted to run in a great bluff, but
at an opportune moment skipped
out.
The st. Louis Republic, referring
to Hudson's method of swindling,
says:
He sent letters to r. L. Hope, Ed.
H. Farrar and Fretwell g. Son OF
Centralia, but when he offered to
compromise the "A cases against
each of them for $3.50 they demur-
red, whereupon he actually went be-
fore the Boone County Grand Jury,
but his testimony, it is alleged, was
thrown out when his scheme was
discovered, and he was given a
chance to leave town.
J. S. Richie, of Sturgeon, was in
Mexico to-day. He says the drug
stores of his town are not to be
prosecuted, so he is informed by
the Prosecuting Attorney.
