COLUMBIA, Mo, APRIL l6, '95.

COLUMBIA, Mo, APRIL 16, '95.
Although the first few days were
quite cool-especially in the cen
trail and southern sections, the
mean temperature of the week end
ing Saturday, April 18th, was
about 4 degrees above the normal
for the state, the greatest excess
occurring in the northwest section
and the least in the southeast sec
ton. Light frost occurred in few
localities but no damage is report
ed.
The precipitation was of a local
character and decidedly below a
seasonal average in all sections.
The average rainfall for each sec
ton was as follows: Northwest
90 inches; northeast, .25 inch;
central, .16 inch; southeast, "a
inch, and southwest, .63 inch. A
good, soaking rain is badly need
ed in the central and northwest
sections.
The conditions were unusually
favorable for the advancement of
farm work and plowing for corn
has progressed rapidly, with the
soil in excellent condition. Plant
ing has commenced in the northern.
and is well under way in the cen
trail and southern counties.
In many of the central and most
of the northwestern counties the
continued dry weather has serious
ly retarded the growth of grasses
and small grains, but in other sec
tions they are coming ON finely,
and stock are being put on pas
ture.
Flax is about all sown in the
southwestern counties and is COM
ing up well.
Peaches, pears, plums, cherries
and apricots are in full bloom ex-
ceptin the extreme northern dis
tricts, and the prospect for fruit of
all kinds (peaches, in some locali-
ties, excepted,) continues good.
Many correspondents report that
peaches were not as seriously in
jured as at first supposed.
Chinch bugs are making their
appearance in number of coun-
ties.

A Correction.

Mr.. EDITOR Please allow me
to make a correction in the GRAPHIC
of April 5th, 1895.
1t is stated concerning the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of
this state in the matter of the e.
3. church prop rty, that in the
States mentioned in that article,
that the radicals or those remain
ing loyal to the Constitution of
1841, were the ones which brought
suit. 1t is a mistake. The Libcr-
ais are the parties that sued.
Now while the supreme courts
in few states have decided in
favor of the Liberal branch, Michi-
gan and Canada have decided in
favor of the Radicals, and also
Oregon but ON a re-hearing was a
tie. In other states where cases
have been tried in the lower courts
nearly all have been decided in
favor of the Radicals or those who
maintain the distinctive principles
of the u. B. church.
Respectfully,
A. J. GARLOCK.

Washington, April15, 1895.
The pressure on the adminiStra-

the silver stampede which seems
to have siezed the democratic par

Cleveland is perfectly willing to
do anything to prevent the cap.
ture of the democratic party by
the silver men, but up to this
time he has been unable to decide
what he ought to do. At first he
was disposed TO try to stop the
movement by going to Chicago and
making an anti silver speech,
which should rally the Cleveland
democrats around the single gold
standard, and the arrangements
were msde to have him invited to
do so by a committee of alleged
partisan business men of Chi
cago; but later he became doubt
full as to that plan, and has given
considerable consideration to a
project suggested by a member of
the Cabinet for the writing of
.ries of letters by himself and all
the members of the Cabinet, to be
made public by those who received
them and to be used as weapons
against the silver phalanx of the
democratic party. Other plans
have also been considered. but
nothing has yet been definitely
settled upon.
Meanwhile, Senator Roach. of
North Dakota. who is a silver
democrat, fires this broadside

The park needs attention,
and our mayors attention is re-

One enterprising firm of our
city has signified its intention to
subscribefs400 in cash toward Sc
curing the shoe factory.
Don't think for one moment
that old established industries will
locate in Kirksville if we do not
work to get them.
The city authorities should
see that all boxes, barrels and
other rubbish are removed from
the streets and alleys.
The crusade against dirty
and filthy streets should begin at
once, and never let up until Kinks
vile has made record for cleanli-
ness.
