Figures From the Report of the State In

The state inspector of mines, Charles
Evans, whose duties include super
vision Of the coal mines of the state,
has compiled an interesting report,
which will soon be forthcoming from
the hands of the public printer. The re-
port contains some valuable figures per-
tanning to the production of coal in Mis-
souri,. Among other things it shows
hat thirty-four counties in the state
produced in the last year 2,3s3, 32s tons
of coal, valued at S3,013,O7 The only
countyin the state showing an increase
in the production of the mineral is Yer
non, which had an increase of 63,223
tons. There were some notable cases
Of decrease, the principal ones being
Bates, 1886, 243 tons; Macon, 276, 997 tons;
Ray, 122,553 tons; Lafayette, II, 997

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Misaouri Dairy Interest.


The following will prove of interest
TO dairymen, fas mers and others, signed
by Hon. Levi Chubbuck, secretary of
the state board of agriculture:
To the DairyHen of Missouri.
GREETING: About two months ago the un-
dersigned were asked officially by the st. Louis
fair management to assist in working up
q dairy exhibit for the fair. .
It was the first time in the history
Of the St Louis fair that special eff
fort had been made to secure q dairy exhibit.
and that a 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 d~airying. The
character and extent Of the exhibit amply
proved that the opinion heretofore entertained
was not we'll founded. Many declared that 1t
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 q dairy
state, must be a matter Of pride and encourage
ment to her dairy people.
A 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 a surprise to all, The first
premiums in all classes Of buttcr-creamery,
dairy, pound prints and fve-pound packages
were won by Missourians and there was on ex-
hibition butter from Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Colorado and Missouri.
Missouri also won third premium on cheese
over four other entries from Wisconsin.
Now who will say that Missouri is not a dairy
state?
low up the advantage thus gained, and put our
state in the front rank in the dairy industry.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1894-11-03

THE annual reporto of Gov. Thornton,
of New Mexico. submitted to the SEQ
rotary of the interior. says there has
been no material change in popula-
ton, but a healthy growth has set in
of a desirable class of immigration in
almost every county of the territory,
especially in the agricultural portion.
DURING a quarrel over family mat
tiers and politics at Jacksonville,
Ind. Harvey Stone fatally stabbed his
brother.
ROBBERS at Malvern, Ia, wrecked
the Farmers national bank with dyna-
mite and stole about So. 900 in cash.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY, speaking
of the statement of the assistant dis
trict attorney at Kansas City that
there was no law by which election
frauds could be punished in United
States courts, said state laws were in
existence by virtue of which election
frauds, whether of registration or of
voting. could be punished by state
courts.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1894-11-03
Totals

The total falling off in the output is
s07, 100 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,OO o in wages. The largest mum
Der of miners employed during the
year was 1854 during the winter ca
son. and 6,424 during the summer.
The average price paid miners during
the year was about ~ cents per ton.
The average price per ton for coal sold
at the mines was sl.26 per ton. Dur
ing the year there were 46 accidents in
the coal mines of the state, of which 10
were fatal. The report of Mine In
spector LaGrave has not yet been filed.
1t will deal with the lead and zinc
mines of the state.

LATER.

The work of resculng the entombed
miners from the Pewabic mine at Iron
Mountain, Mich, was accomplished, be-
tween 6 and z o'clock on the morning
lof the 9th, and they were hoisted to
the surface as sound as a dollar and
without a mark, after having been en-
ltombed for more than forty-three
hours. There was great rejoicing in
the community.
THE city of Seattle, Wash, vas Wis
lited, on the eth, by a holocaust,
caused by the burning of the West
Street hotel, by which at least sixteen
persons met death in its most horrible
form. The structure is described as a
l~veritable fire-trap from which the vic
Tins had but little chance of escape
after the rapidly-spreading fire once
broke out.
UNKNOWN miscreants blew up an Hun
garian boarding house on the Lehigh
Valley railroad near Wilkesbarre, Pa,
early on the morning of the 29th, con-
tanning between fifty and sixty in
mates, three of whom were instantly
killed and 4 large number seriously in
jured. The victims were laborers en-
gagged upon the railroad.
THE unexpecte resignation of Chan
cellor Won Caprivi and Count zu Eulen-
berg has created Il greater public SEN
sation Berlin than any event since the
retirement of Prince Bismarck. All
of the newspapers pay high tribute to
the personal qualities of the retiring
chancellor.
THE weekly statement of the New
York associated banks shows the fol-
lowing changes: Reserve, increase, ST.
351 ,225; loans, decrease, 81, 079, 800; spe-
Gle, decrease, 81, 800; legal tenders,
increase, 81, $50, 400: deposits, decrease,
s411, 700; circulation, decrease, S1O3, 800
FIRE destroyed the Southern rail-
ways freight warehouse at Asheville,
N. c., on the eth, together with two
loaded cars and four shanties. AL the
freight in the building and all the
records were totally destroyed. Loss,
$50, 900; insured.
THE Paris press agree that despite
the coincidence of the cars illness,
the ministerial crisis in Germany does
not imply a change in the foreign
policy, which is under the effective
and absolute direction of Emperor VIII
liam.
The contract for constructing the
approaches Of the Detroit government
building vas awarded, or the 9th. to
Benjamin Hyde, of Chicago, at Sas, 4Ss.

a Historical Character
Absalom Hughes died at Cedar Cit

Absalom Hughes died at Cedar City,
Galloway county, aged 81.
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 dramshcp without paying state, county or
municipal license. He was 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 a law authorizing
him to keep q 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 a cripple for life. and Of
late years he got around with great difficulty.
