The total falling off in the output is
s07, 12O tons, which is attributed to the
strike as the chief cause. Mr.. Evans
says that the miners lost in the aggre-
gate during the strike no less than
s5ss,eoO in wages. The largest num-
Der of miners employed during the
year was s,s64 during the winter sea-
son, and 6,424 during the summer.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Missouri Dairy Interest.


The following win prove Of interest
to dairymen. farmers and others, signed
by Hon. Levi Chubbuck, secretary of
the state board of agriculture:
To the Dairymep Of Missouri,
GREETING: About two months ago the un-
dersigned were asked oficially by the St. Louis
fair management to assist in working up
dairy exhibit for the fair. >
1t was the first time in the history
OF the St. Louis fair that special ef-
fort had been made to secure a dairy exhibit,
and that separate dairy building. equipped
with proper facilities, had been provided, and,
naturally, there were many difficulties to over
come the greatest being the opinion that the
country tributary to St Louis, Missouri espe-
cially, was not well adapted to dairying. The
character and extent of the exhibit amply
proved that the opinion heretofore entertained
was not well founded Many declared that it
was one Of the largest and best displays OF
dairy products, goods aud machinery they had
ever seen.
Missouri took a place in this exhibition
which. in view of the generally prevailing
opinion regarding her possibilities as dairy
state, must be matter of pride and encourage
ment to her dairy people.
Missouri firm, ST. Louis. made by far the
largest and best showing of dairy goods and
machinery. while in the exhibit OF dairy pro-
ducts the success of Missouri dairvmen in win
ming premiums was surprise to all. The first
v,
dairy, pound prints and ive-pound packages
were won by Missourians and there was on ex-
hibition butter from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Colorado and Missouri.
NJ issouri also won third premium on cheese
over four other entries from Wisconsin
Now who will say that Missouri is not q dairy
state?
Dairymen and women of Missouri, let US fol-
low up the advantage thus gained, and put
state in the front rank in the dairy industry.
A Historical Character.
Absalom Hughes died at Cedar City,
Galloway county, aged "a.
He had been a historic character for many
years in this state. from the fact that he was
the only man in Missouri who could legally run
q dramshop without paying state, county or
municipal license. He first sergeant in
Parsons regiment, First Missouri volunteers,
in the Mexican war. At the battle of Sacra-
mento he had both legs broken by a cannon
ball. but distinguished himself SO conspicu-
ously for personal bravery that the Missouri
legislature. in 1874, passed law authorizing
him to keep dramshop at Cedar City, Gala
way county, during his life and exempting him
from paying any license. He accepted the Of
fer, and for fifty years kept an unpretentious
saloon in that little town. The wounds he re-
ceived rendered him cripple for life, and OF
late years he got around with great difficulty.
