While short corn crops heretofore i'm

the harvesting of a very deficient corn
crop, in this instance the diminished Of

and clearly are due to causes other than

1t is true that many have attributed
the deficient supply to short crop OF

likely Of obtain irrespective of the pig

The CAUSES producing the present
shortage are unusual in the United

seems little probability Of this period of
high prices being followed by one of low

Shakespeare's Beer jug and Other CurIos.
Ask almost any three men what they
thought Of the sale Of Shakespeare's beer
jug for el50, and they would give three
different replies, each depending ultimate
ly on radical difference of imagination.
The first would say that the purchase was
pure absurdity; the second would allege
that he had better associations with Shake
speare that beer jug could convey, and
the third would admit that, although he
thought the price a little exaggerated, he
could see, or rather feel, the motive for the
competition. There is, of course, "A passion
for curios, but 1t does not cover the whole
ground. Some sort of Imagination must
be stirred by many relics which seem to
the reflective to suggest nothing-relics
like the taper stand used by Marie Antoi-
nette when she wrote her letters, or the
bootjack with which Frederick the Great
extricated himself from his boots,
There must be in the concrete imagina-
tion depths which 1t is difficult to follow, "a
power in some men OF dreaming because
their heads are on a particular pillow. The
really contemplate passion is the craze to
possess relic Of one in whom the collector
has no manner of interest except this-that
rs the man whose "relcn is acquired inter
ests others some share Of the feeling il in
spires will be carried to the credit of its
purchasers account. 1t Is reasonable to
buy Shakespeare's jug for the sake OF con-
ceiving Shakespeare; base to buy it in order
to be distinguished as the owner of Shake
speares jug.-London Spectator.

bird's-eye-view of the world every
day of the week through st. Louis
papers and the LEDGER and in COM
pliance with your request 1 will in a
few words tell my experience at
Chicago.
l spent six days there. Never
saw SO much before never expect to
see SO much again. The word of
God says: "Eye hath not seen nor
ear heard, nor hath 1t into the i'm
Imagination of the heart to conceive
of the things which the Lord hath
prepared for those who love him. :"
l can use the same language in
speaking Of the great Fair at Chica-
go. The agricultural building, the
horticulture, the transportation, the
fine arts and other buildings have
each one enough to occupy ones time
and thought for days and days. 1
will not attempt to particularize;
would not know where to begin nor
where to end. l paid my way,
"spunged" upon no one, not even
old and dear pupils residing there;
spent less than 1 expected and re-
turned delighted with everything.
Chicago is the most wonderful city
on earth--totally destroyed % years
ago and now containing l ,O9S, ,576 of
the most enterprising inhabitants in
the world. The finest stores on earth,
The grandest system of Public
Schools, the largest number of elee-
institutions, and in feat
that great, enterprising,
wide-awake people can have. I do
not say this because the papers say
so. Isaw for myself. l fell into the
hands of good Samaritans and
everywhere l went l was permitted
to dwell while there on that side of
he Alps which receives the sun
shine and not on the north side
where grumblers and fault finders
abide.
Sunday l attended service at the
Chicago Avenue church, heard
Moody preach, Sankey sing; also a
quartet from Oberlin College sang
Rock of Ages" Sankey sang
several pieces and by special request
sang "Paul and Silas." There were
5000 people present and many
could not get in. Mrs. Pierson, a
lady who has been offered $500
night, sang several popular hymns.
None of the celebrated vocalists
made any attempt at classic music.
The entire audience could hear each
word as sang. Men and women
felt as they never did before and
some wept during the service.
There is nothing on earth to equal
preaching, or Sankey's and
Mrs. Persons solos.
Mr.. Editor, l could write all day

HE HID In THE RAY.
A Prisoner OF The County Jail Makes
an Unsuccessful Attempt to
Escape-FOund In The
Hay Loft.

Jim Brown is a natural born negro
thief and is at present in the county
jail for stealing Mrs. Kretschmar' 's
purse. 1t is his second offense and
he is now candidate without op-
position for suit of striped clothes
and a free ride to Jefferson City.
Wednesday afternoon Brown made a
heroic attempt to gain his lost liber-
ty and escape a long service for the
state in the penitentiary. 1t was
such a beautiful day and the birds
sang so sweetly Brown would
not even take time to tell Sheriff
Stephens that he was going to leave,
so anxious was he to be off, SO he
quietly made a sneak while the
guards eyes were in another direc-
ton. The Sheriff had Brown out
working in the Jail yard with a guard
over him. While the guards at
tention was not fixed on him he
apparently evaporated and myster-
iously disappeared in the atmos-
phere. So suddenly did he become
invisible it was difficult to decide
the most probable route he took.
The alarm was sounded and the
Sheriff and his deputy began
hurried but close search, first around
the jail premises-up in the hay
loft and everywhere. They then in
quired around in the immediate vi
cinity of the jail if any person had
seen the negro. Everybody said
no. A vigorous search was made
over Flat Rock without success. It's
almost miraculous how that negro
had escaped. Another look through
the barn and hay loft was made but
without discovery. Finally the
third search in the hay loft was
made; this time the hay was remov-
ed. Jim Browns quivering form
finally showed up, his eyes sticking
out and his heart up in his throat.
He was led down and the Sheriff
gave him a warm fiogging and put
him in his cell. Brown thought he
would stay under the hay until dark
when he could easily get out of town
without any one seeing him.

GLOWERZNISKI PLEADS GUILTY.
Given but Five Years I'm the Peniten.
tiary by Judge Hughes.

ST. CHARLES, NO., May 12.-
Peter Glowerzwiski, the man charg-
ed with the murder of VIM. Boetger
in st. Louis, August II, 1891, was
given hearing in the Circuit Court
this morning before Judge Hughes,
and pleaded guilty to the charge of
manslaughter in the first degree.
The Court assessed his punishment
at five years in the penitentiary.
According to Glowerzwiski's state
ment the murder Of Boetger was
done in cold blood and on the barcst
provocation. Glowerzwiski and
Boetger on the day of the killing
wor1 together playing pool and
drinking beer. The defendantclaim-
ed that Boetger pulled a revolver
upon him, and fearing he was going
to shoot, he shot him in the neck,
the wound afterwards proving fatal.
He will be taken to Jefferson City
this week, and his term begins with
TODAY.

The Editor.

A schoo. boys composition on
"The Editor" ran as follows:
The editor is one of the happiest
individuals in the world. He can
go to any circus in the afternoon
and evening without paying penny,
also to inquests and hangings; has
free tickets to theatres, gets wedding
cake sent him, and sometimes gets
a licking, but not often, for he can
take things back in the next issue,
which he generally does. While
other folks have to go to bed early,
the editor can sit up late at night
and see all that is going on. Wher
I ana a man / mean to be an editor
30 that l may stay out late at night
That will be jolly.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.
1t Has Already Gone Abroad That
Mexico is to Have a Big Fourth
Of July Celebration.

The following letter addressed to
Messrs. Hopkins and Shea, will be
of interest to the committee who
have charge of the Fourth of July
celebration to take place in this city.
Correspondence should be had with
these parties at once:
To L. 8 Hopkins or D. E. Shea, MEXICO, Mo.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May TO-
Dear Sir and Comrade: 1 notice in
the papers that your city intends to
have a great rousing Fourth of July
celebration. We have been trying to
make arrangements with some good
live city that has good fair grounds
well fenced where a gate admission
fee could be charged. And in con-
nection with the Fourth of July cell
ebration we would come there with
$50 or 200 soldiers, two pieces of
artillery and give a sham battle the
last thing in the evening. This ifwell
advertised would bring a tremedous
crowd. If your city will raise
fund to help pay part of our ex-
penses, and then give us say one
half of gate receipts, we will give
you q show that will bring people
to your town for 100 miles around.
The admission at the gate could be
made, say 25, 35 or so cents, or
what is customary at your grounds.
1t would make us some money and
also pay all expenses for your cele-
bratlon, besides advertising your
city very largely. Please let me
hear from you.
Yours in F. C. & L.,
