Missouri Polite. from French standpoint.

The following description of the po- litical situation in Missouri is trans lated from a French newspaper by q Missouri journal:
 Colonel A. NJ, Dockery is the may or of Missouri, a small town in the province of St. Louis. He was disas- trously defeated last week in fierce battle with General Joe Shelby, who commanded the celebrated brigade of irregular troops called the James Iioys. Severe loss is reported on both sides and Colonel Dockery only escaped by retreating within the walls of his city.
 Colonel Dockery owns no property in the province where he resides and holds his position because of his sup posed poverty. But the Republiquc is informed that he has large manu- facturing interests in England in the line of woolen cloths. Hence he is fighting for free wool and low tarill in the United States
 ''It is related of him that his hatred of American sheep has become il mania and that he ordered his troops to kill all the sheep in his province, and one dull. gloomy autumn morning the peasants arose and found their sheep slaughtered and the warehouses con taining their wool burned to the ground,
 "Frenchmen would not submit to such tyranny but the Stolid citizens of St. Louis. called mossbacks, dared not protest and England reaps the adyan- tage of their weakness and folly. It is limited that British gold and mu- nitiuus of war are freely furnished for this conflict,

swine Notes

If necessary to change feed do it gradually.
 It is the filthy keep that makes a filthy hog.
 A SOW demands n certain age to ri- pen and develop.
 The system must be in perfect order SO that no feed will be wasted.
 There is no profit in stinting the feed now in order to have a supply later.
 The sire or dam of herd cannot do everything toward profitable swine breeding
 To secure the best results with q brood SOW an even development from pighood to full maturity is necessary.
 If young and vigorous pigs are wanted some attention must be given to the breeding of the parent stock.
 Instead of early maturity being against the proper development or constitutional yigor it is a grea. step in securing it.
 If a hog is kept lean and poor all winter it will require the best part Of growing season to make up what has been lost.
 While the growing pig should never get hungry, he should be kept SC that he will come to his meals with.a good appetite.
 In rapid fattening it is quite an item to promote idleness and sleep, the quieter the hogs can be kept the faster they will gain.
 Proper feeding of a young SOW with her first litter Is an important factor as regards her usefulness as a breed CT.
 When hogs arrive at the proper age for fattening they should be in healthy thrifty condition so that in feeding the feed will not be wasted.
 In the customary management there is q strong tendency to lose similarity in form. constitutional yigor and the tendency to early maturity.

printer. But none Of these men had
such stirring adventures in early life
as Mr.. Jones, with the possible excep-
ton Of Mr.. Perkins. and not one of
them has made and lost so many for
tunes as the Nevada senator. Finally,
Mr.. Jones has made a greater name
for himself as a close student and an
original thinker than, perhaps, all of
these men put together. In this he diff
fers from the other bonanza" sena-
tors. Colorado has sent to the Senate
sorae queer specimens of miners, nota-
bly, Mr.. Tabor, of fragrant memory. 1t

Washington a few years ago that Mr..
Tabor was to succeed Mr.. Bowen in
the Senate, Mr.. Teller said that if Ia
Dor was elected he would resign. Then
Nevada sent Sharon and afterward
Fair, two Of the heroes of the famous
Comstock mine. Fair was the second
member Of the famous bonanza" firm,
of which John Mackay was the head.
He was a figure-head in the Senate, in
offensive, but useless. He was seldom
seen on the floor and he contributed
nothing to debate and introduced no
original measure. He was one Of the
men who gave to the Senate the name
of being a 'Millionaires club a repu-
tation which it is losing gradually as
the new states are admitted to the
Ur'on. Fair was generally supposed to

distributed. Some of them were sent
out in the west for campaign pur-
poses; many thousands were sent to in
dividuals in response to requests. A
few comparatively were mailed TO
newspaper Offices. The speech of 1898
has not gained the same circulation
yet but it is approaching high-water
mark rapidly. The senator mail
every day contains requests for copies
of it. Doubtless it, will be in still
greater demand now that the senator
has become SO conspicuous. Mr. Jones
speeches are the longest ever delivered
in the Senate-with one qualified ex-
ception Mr.. Quay's recent tariff
speech" was longer: but that effort
was really not a speech at all. 1t was
a complication Of historical facts about
different Pennsylvania industries al.
fected by the tariff bill. MIR. Quay
wrote very little of it and Delivered
still less. Mr.. Jones's speeches are
genuine. They are strictly original
throughout and they are delivered ON
the floor of the Senate.
Mr.. Jones's capacity as senator
can be summed up in q few Worqs,
Put all of the other Populists in the.
Senate at one end of an intellectual
see-saw and drop Mr.. jones on the
other, and Mr.. Jones end will come
down with sudden and emphatia

esque figure in the United States SEN
ate today, There have been others
who have risen to wealth and political
eminence from very small beginnings,
but none of them look back on so var

SNAKES POISONED WATER.
Origin of Mysterious Illness I'm Mis-
souri, Discovered.

st. Louis. Sept. IA number of persons
in the neighborhood OF Ogle station. sever
al miles from Bellevflle. st. Clair county,
Ill, have recently been taken suddenly
sick without any apparent cause. The
symptoms were violent pains in the storm
acn, dizziness and nausea. Children as
we'll as grown persons were attacked in
several families and the doctors could not
solve the mystery. 1t seemed as il the
people had been poisoned but all recov-
cred gradually. after having purged vio-
tently and partalSen freely of warm drinks.
The cause Of the sickness has finally
been solved. Water for drinking and
cooking purposes had been taken from a
well near Ogle farm for many years by
the farmers families living in the vicfn-
ity. This well had become the nest Of
a family of big green snakes, which are
said to have poisoned the water to such
aneXtent that it IS almost a miracle that
those taken sick recovered. There was
much excitement among the farmers when
they found hat the we'll was alive with
reptiles. Some few were brought to the
surface but the greater number. when the
water was disturbed, crawled to. a place
OF safety through the creviseS of the rocks
The finding of the snakes lin the well
ended what promised to be a great SEN
sation of a whole nefghborhood poisoned
by unknown parties.

Occurred at the Grant Soap company's
factory Thursday morning. The COM

iron tanks, which they use in dissolv
ing caustic soda and caustic potash,
and when dissolving this strong lie,
Mr.. Grant has repeatedly given insrruc-
tons to the force of boys and girls EN-
ployed in the factory that they should
keep away from these tanks. Not heed
ing this warning, one little fellow
about Il years old, walked too close to
the boiling fluid, leaned over the tank
slipped on a bar of Bee Hive soap, fell
backward into pile of Silver Dust
washing powder, grabbed bar of
Grants Bath and Toilet in one hand
and a bar of the Pride of Utah in the
other. and in doing so declared that
Bee Hive soap was the wonder of the
age-that it was not only a labor-sav-
ing soap, but life-saving soap.

THAT SEALING C.osrRnrERsY

New York, Sept. 15-In the United States
circuit court today the North American
Commercial company put in an answer to
the claim of the United States government -
for SI30, 1880 on account of alleged hreacfI.
of contract and handed in d bill to thepl
government for 1898. US for alleged losss
Of profit arising out Of the same contract. E
The agreement entered into between the
Commercial company and the United
States in March. 1890. gave the company
exclusive right to catch seals about the.
islands of st. George and st. Paul in
Alaska. for which the United States was
to receive an annual rental of $4,000 for
twenty years and $685. for each seal
captured there. The government alleges
the company caught 1900 seals during
the first year, for which it demands S571M
in addition to $4,000 for rent. The COM
Ilany SAYS part of the skins were caught
by natives and shipped by the company,
which never had exclusive right as guar
anteed in the contract. The company al
leges that il had the right to seize $1,000
seals the first year and 100000 each sue
ceeding wear, but while the negotiations
with Great Britain were pending. 1t was
prohibited from catching any seals and
suffered a loss of S2S3725.
