THE base ball game between Mexico
and Fulton on Tuesday resulted in a
victory forMexico by the score of 10 to
Z. The very best of order prevailed
and there was n large audience OF
Mexico's very best people present.
The games between Mexico and Fulton
are always holly contested. The LED
GER would like to see a game between
the two mines of Mexico and Fulton
composed entirely of home men. Both
Fulton and Mexico during late years
have been using imported players,
each nine getting the best they could.
Mexico is very anxious to play a
strictly local nine with Fulton. Such
aeontest would attract a great deal
OF interest and the result would be
much more satisfactory.

Missouri Crop Prospects.

COLUMBIA, Mo, June 25, 1S95.-The
Weather Crop Bulletin issued by the
Missouri Weather Service for the
week ending June y, says:
Although considerable damage was
done by winds to crops, fruit trees
and buildings i'll a number of the west
ern counties, and harvest and corn
blowing were delayed by rains in
some of the western, central and
southern counties, the past week has,
on the whole, been very favorable to
the farmer. The mean temperature
was very lear the normal in all sec
lions, while the precipitation was con-
siderably in excess of the seasonal
average. At a number of stations the
total rainfall for the week exceeded 3
inches, and in a few localities in the
southeast section it exceeded 4 inches,
while very few stations report less
than / inch. In a few of the east
central counties, however, more rain
is needed.
Wheat and rye harvest is well ad-
vanced except in some of the extreme
northern counties, and 4 number of
correspondents report hat wheat is
turning out better than expected. In
a few of the northern counties wheat
in shock was injured by heavy rains.
Corn has become foul in some dis
%tricts, the ground having been too
wet to work, and in a number of coun-
ties chinch bugs are doing great dam
age, especially e wheat fields, but,
generally, the crop is in fine condition
and growing rapidly. Some fields
have been laid by.
Oats, meadows and pastures are
greatly improved since the late rains,
and fax is doing well. Haying has
commenced in some counties.
Earfy potatoes are about nude and
gardens are coming on in good shape.
Tobacco is about all set and is gem
orally doing well.
Early apples, peaches and apric OTIS
are riDeniup.

Reader, did you eve take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the KING OF
LIVER MEDIcNEs?" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That duh, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion r all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
uIator and you'll get rid of these trou-

The prosperity of the country in the
immediate future will be very greatly
promoted by a good corn crop this
year and the present indications give
favorable promise that we shall have
n large yield of this cereal. In 1888,
the big crop year, the yield was over
2,112, 0o0, 200 bushels, produced from
an rea of a little more than rs, 00O, 600
acres. In 1891, another big year, the
corn area was over 10000, 900 acres
and the crop slightly above 1000, 000,-
900 bushels. 1t is thought that the
acreage this year will be fully as large
as our years ago and the prevailing
conditions warrant the expectation
that the production viii be quite as
great rs in 1891, and possibly larger.
A realization of this promise would do
more than perhaps any other one
thing to insure a return of general
prosperity and to contribute to the
benefit of all classes of the population.

How Silver was Treated.


The New York World, which is fav-
orable to bimetallism and not an ok
tremist on anything in regard to the
currency question, says:
The United States treasury holds
nearly $50, 000, 900 silver dollars,
against which paper certificates have
been issued and are mostly in circula-
ton. There are in.the hands of the
people something over so, 1000, 900 sill
yer dollars. All of these coins, of the
decentralization" of which so much
is heard, are a full legal tender for
their face value.
The treasury likewise holds 5000
tons of silver bullion, which cost the
tax payers of this country nearly
1924, 000, 600, but which could be
bought to-day for $50, O0O, 900 less.
Against this bullion treasury notes
are issued, redeemable under the Law
in silver at the discretion of the Sec
rotary of the treasury, but which the
government has been forced to re-
deem in gold in order to maintain the
equal value of its coins and notes.
Does this showing make it appear
that the country lacks silver money,
or that the white metal has beer
treated badly by the government
The panic of 1898 proved that the
government had reached the limit o.
silver money and notes hat could BIZ
ioated under the Sherman act with.
ont putting gold at g. premium and sc
banishing it from circulation. 1t il
not strange that with the advent OF
better times and the restoration OIL
the gold reserve the good sense of the
people revolts from either a gold OIL
silver agitation at this time.
