BOLIVAR, Mo, July 6.-F. M. Ellis,
farmer living six miles east of here,
went to a steep hillside and felled the
largest tree he could find. He then
tied a rope to the heavy end of the
tree and chopped off log 20 feet long.
Placing a stone under this to keep
it from rolling down hill he left it in
such a position that, by kicking the
stone out, the log would roll down the
hill Then he procured long, heavy
plank and placed it at right angles
with the log on the incline below.
Then lying on his back on the board,
he kicked the stone from under the
log. The heavy timber did its work

Davis Monument Unveiling.
RICHMOND, Va, July 3.-Never before
in it's history, not even upon the oc-
casion of the unwilling of the Lee
monument in 1890. has Richmond seen
such a crowd within her limits as that
which assembled here yesterday, be-
meath a perfect sky, to witness the lay
ing of the corner stone of the monu-
ment to the memory of jefferson Davis.
1t was the last and greatest day of the
sixth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans association,
which has brought To Richmond
altogether about $4,000 veterans, be-
sides thousands of old visitors. Yes
terday's exercises have added 10000
visitors and young soldiers to the vast
throng. Last night history repeated
itself in the scene which the capitol
hill presented. A small army Of griz-
zled men, in jackets of gray, slept
upon the greensward around the old
state house, with coats for pillows and
the grassy lawn for their beds. A few
thousand spent the night in the cap
itol grounds.
1t was estimated that Is, 900 people
marched in the parade. Nearly 200
Missourians were in it, and Oklahoma
and Indian territory were each repre-
sented by a camp. Reaching the park.
the corner stone was laid with masonic
ceremonies. Gen. Stephen d. Lee was
the orator of the occasion. In closing
his Grafton he said:
In calmer years, when the last ember of Sec
tlonal feeling has burned out, and the last
word OF love has gently bound the hearts of
all Americans together, fathers will bring
their little children to this spot and tell them

his people and for the right as they under

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July Z-St. Louis
is aroused over the action of the Chi
cago Great Western railway in declar-
ing proportional tariffs on grain and
flour shipments from Kansas City and
other Missouri river points to Chicago.
st. Louis wants the grain to go through
st. Louis whether it is destined for the
Atlantic seaboard or Gulf of Mexico
ports. The move of the Great West
ern is construed as a direct blow at St
Louis grain interests, which will re-
suit in increased shipments through
the Chicago gateway. As a retaliatory
move yesterday the st. Louis lines an
nounceed a big reduction in grain rates
from Missouri river points to st. Louis.
The reduction in rates amounts in some
instances to n horizontal cut of so per
cent. The grain rate fight is now on
and it is impossible to tell where it
will stop. as the all-rail lines to the
Gulf of Mexico ports are in the mid
die of the fracas.
