FEMALE WHITECAPS.

Six women of Poplar Bluff, clothed
in white, and wearing masks, started
out on q whitecapping expedition last
Wednesday night. The object of their
wrath was Ola Groves. who is said
to have alienated the affections of
the husband of one of the woman.
Shortly after II o'clock these women
marched down the railroad tract;
nearly one mile to the Alfrey head
ing factory, where the object of their
attack was domicilcd. They ap-
preached within q stones throw of
the house, and commenced the bonn.
bardmcnt with u shower Of sticks and
rocks. Ola was at home, as the at.
tacking party soon learned. Rushing
out with pistol in her hand, she dis
pcrsed the crowd of women, who were
armed with brooms, switches and
sticks, instanter. Nine shots were
fired in the melee, but not one took
effect.

THE ANTE.BELLUM STAPLE.

Inview of the discouraging results,
from monetary standpoint of the
last two or three crop years, it has
become desirable, yes, necessary that
q staple shall be found that shall re-
plenish the farmer s depleted finances.
Corn has been tried aud found
wanting, the price being SO absurdly
low that Wichita, Kan, manufac-
turing plant burned it last fall in
preference to wood at $3.50 per cord
Wheat maintains just passably re-
munerative, but there is no guaran-
tee that it will remain at or even
near 20 cents, which price it COM

There was time twenty or twen-
ty-fve years ago when the southern
portion of this county made some
money raising cotton. The flush
times, prices then received, may never
come again, but as long as cotton stays
at five cents per pound there is no dead
loss sustained in raising it. 1t is
true the raiser has to keep after it
in order to make success but is not
the same true of every other crop,
trade or profession At any rate the
experiment is worth trying, and we
have already heard of one young
farmer at Blodgett who proposes to
put in about eight acres. 1t cannot
fail to be in the more sandy portion
of our county at least as paying a
crop as any now raised and there is
ii strong probability of good price

GAS FROM SAWDUST.

There are several large lumber
mills in Dcseranto. Canada, and the
town is partially lighted by gas OBJ
tanned from sawdust from them. The
sawdust is charged in rctorts which
are heated by wood fire. The gas
from these rctorts passes into SER
les OF coils and thence into purifiers.
which are similar to those used for
coal gas. Lime is used as q purify
ing agent. The plant is not a very
large one. and it only turns out $40
cubic meters of gas per day, for which
about two tons of sawdust are re-
quired. A man and boy furnish all
the labor needed at the works. The
best quality of gas comes from resin.
Gus woods. One hundred kilogrammes
of sawdust leave a residue of twenty
kilogrammes of charcoal, and the gas
in an ordinary burner. says the En-
gineering and Mining Journal, gives
an illumination of about eighteen
candle power.

WE DON'T KNOW.

The other day we met a man from
one of the lower counties and he put
to us the following questions:
"How much scrip has been is
sued by the ST. Francis Levee Board
How much has been protested ?
How much paid off How much is
still outstanding, and what is the
salary paid different members and
officers of the Board 2"
We were unable to answer the
questions. Perhaps some of the
newspapers in the overfowed dis
tricts can give the desired informa-
tion. Will they do it?

THE question, 'Why is spool cot
ton numbered as it is, and why are
the figures not used in the regular
order?" is often asked says the Bos-
ton Journal of Commerce. The ex-
planation is this: The numbers on
the spools express the number of
thanks" which are required to wind
a pound. The very finest spinning
rarely exceeds 300 hanks to the pound,
while in the very coarsest there is
about half pound in each hank. The
more common qualities, however,
those from which sewing thread is
usually made, run from ten to fifty
hanks to the pound, and the spools
on which it is wound are numbered
from 10 to so in accordance.

BARNES LETTER.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found letter from Seth Barnes,
chairman of the Republican central
committee of New Madrid comfy ad-
dressed to Congressman Mozely. Mr..
Barnes expresses the sentiment of
many of the more intelligent Repub-
licans when he says, "There are men
in the Republican ranks of this dis.
trict who are true bimetallists; men
who refuse to bow the knee to the
gold standard; men old-fashioned

ure of value that existed when the
debt was contracted.
But MIR. Barnes is hardly fair in
his argument. He says there are

tracted," but he warnes Congress.

tain on any and all questions ? The
financial question is not a 'minor

others would have US believe, but it
is an all-important question that can
no longer be suppressed and on which
both the great parties are hopelessly
divided.

AS TO Cr1RA.

I There is much feeling in the United
States regarding the Cuban rebellion.
The sentiment is overwhelmingly in
favor of the rcvolutionists. The
American people, as whole, favor
freedom and liberty. They are op.
posed to oppression in any form.
Cuba is an island under the con.
troll of Spain. The people have been
SO oppressed that they decided to
try to free themselves from the ty-
ranny of their oppressors-just as
our forefathers did. Without money
and with only their clubs, rusty shot
guns and knives they have succeeded
in capturing the island and are now
within shooting distance of Havana,
the walled-in capital of Cuba and the
headquarters, of the Spanish forces.
They captured nearly every port
and every city of Importance on the
island. but were frequently forced tu
retreat for "a time on account of hav-
ing no heavy guns except those cap
tured from the enemy. They
issued a Declaration of Independence,
established a government of their
own and have maiatoined it for near
ly ycnr. They fought Gen. Cam
pos. the Spanish commander.in- chief,
until he resigned and gave up his job.
The Spanish government then sent
over one Gen. Weyler-a man who
has one straight record of blood. OF
tyranny, of massacre. of inhumani,
ty. of barbarism. But the rebels
are still holding the fort.
And now the rebels. or insurgents.
