Tho Home of the Stark Brothers' Nur-
serles-One of the Biggest Institutions
in the world-Its Trade Extends to
Nearly Every Civilized Nation on Earth.
ST. Louis Republic, Jdnmdry :, 1896.
One of the largest institutions in this State
Is the Stark Bros Nurs and Orchards
company at Louisiana, Mo-, and Rockport
Ill. The trade OF the firm extends not only
throughout the United States Canada, Ger
many, France, Italy, Hungary and other
foreign countries. but it has a number of GUS
toners both in New Zealand and Australia
Eighty years ago there came from Ken
lucky TO Pike county The late Judge Stark,
then young man fresh from Old Hickory's
New Orleans campaign. He started the
nursery and planted the first grated or
chard in the state, having brought the scions
on horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
TO son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
firm has more than ,OO0traveling solicitors,
and employs more people in its offices than
would be necessary to run arlarge manufac-
turing concern. The extensive packing
houses of the company are adjacent to the
city, connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing houses hun
dreds OF carloads of trees are shipped an
nually. The nursery grounds embrace a
number of farms convenient TO the city. and
even extend to Rockport, Ills, where there
is plant of several million trees.
The popularity of the concern is the
establishment of large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly 80,
900 acres, and more than 3, 100000 trees on
the partnership plan. The firm is also in
terested in about as many more trees on the
cooperative arrangement.
Louisiana firms have more travelling men
upon the road for them than any other city
of the world of its size. This, Of course, is
largely due TO the large number of men en-
ployed by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who
furnish their men the most complete, up-to-
date outfit ever issued. They are increasing
their force of statesmen daily, and room for
more

man of this town, has an unusual interest
In affairs in Cuba at this time. He has Il
father, step-mother and four sisters re-
siding on that island, now 40 sadly dis
turbed by war. Mr. Cairns recently
wrote to Walter b. Barker, American
consul at Sagua la Graude, where these
relatives reside, and in reply received in
formation that they are well but, like
most of the people there, were deprived
of many of the usual comforts of life,
because of the distracted condition of
affairs. The father, Stephen ID. Cairns,
has lucrative position as superintendent
of large sugar plant at Caibarien but
the owners are unable to operate it be-
cause of the liability of raids from in
surgent troops and the absence of pro-
lection to such business by the Spanish
authorities. Jose Andrea, son Of Mrs.
Regal Diaz de Cairns, the lady mention
ed above, was, before the instruction,
member of n Cuban Cavalry regiment
but rather THAI fight against his
countrymen chose to leave the Island

LONDON, Nov. S.-Mr. Smalley, the
American correspondent of the Times,
cables to that paper that he had long
interview with Mr.. Mckinley on Fri
day Summarized, the interview shows
that MI Mckinley takes high view
of the electoral contest, in which he
believes that the real issue is between
those who would preserve the republic
and those who would destroy it, re-
placing it by a different form of gov
eminent and different form of society.
He is and will remain a convinced pro-
tectionist, but Mr.. Smalley does not
think that new tariff any longer
seems to him the only view necessary
of American industry. It is MI. Nc
Kinleys conviction that every obliga-
ton of the United States ought to be
paid Whec it natures, in the best
money existing at the time. He is ap-
parently not affected by the dislike of
Great Britain, which is supposed to
exist in the middle states and has no
faith in jealousy or hostility as the
handspring of national policy. He con-
siders the extent and force of the al
legged western animosity toward Great
Britain 10 be much overrated.
Mr.. Smalley remarks that all doubt
concerning the result of the election in
New York has vanished.

nURDERED FOR HIS MONEY.

thy Rancher Found in His Half
Burned Home in UsaI, California

CAHTO, Cal, Nov. 3-The half-cre-
mated body of John Audgett, a
wealthy rancher of Usal, was found
yesterday in the embers of his half
burned home at that place by w. H.
Davis, a neigbbor. Mudgett lived alone
on an immense tract of land He was a
reputed hoarder of wealth. and it was
rumored that he had money stored
about the house. His body bore uumis-
taxable evidence of death by violence
before the flames reached him. Both
lower limbs are missing.
The house had been fired and the con-
flagration had been extinguished by
lack of a draft. Kerosene oil had been
used 20 start the fire, as two cans hur-
Tiedly picked open with hatchet
were among the partial ruins.
That Midget met foul play seems an
assured fact, since the discovery that
all of his winter supplies are gone. 1t
is well known that he recently received
& large supply of flour and other pro-
visions necessary to tide him over the
winter months. Persons suspected of
the crime are under surveillance. The
sheriff and coroner are expected to ar
rive on the scene at daylight. The de-
