named have now booked orders fol
11,0OO sets, and they hope in 1896 t.
treble the showing of the year pre-
vious. In passing the other day, we
were little surprised to see the huge
piles of timber which cumber the
ground about the factory. and were,
more than ever, impressed with the
value of the plant to the community.
Albert Quick of Stoddard county
by Deputy q. S. Marshal Nall, and
lodged with Sheriff O'Neal for term
of thirty days. Mr.. Quick was too
quick to sell liquor without license
from Uncle Sam, who quickly got onto
him and made him quickstep to St.
Louis. His case was quickly deter
mined, and Mr.. Quick who, as above
intimated, is a quick man himself,
found that Uncle Samuel is too quick
for him. In other words, Mr.. Quick,
quick or not quick in apprehension,
has learned the valuable though costly
lesson that a Quick's quickness quickly
results in disaster when devoted to the
science of boot-legging.

A gentleman from Illinois was in the
Valley the first of the week, looking
up location for a dairy. After ex-
aiming various places, he went his
way down the road yesterday, but will
return Friday. 1t seems to us that no
better location for dairies than Arcadia
Valley is to be found on the line of
the St. Louis & /. M. railway. Con-
nected with the city by five express
and accommodation trains daily, run
ming at all hours of the day and night;
possessing an unlimited stock range;
growing grasses and feed of all kinds;
having climate suited to the proper
care of stock with the least possible
trouble and expense-why cannot the
dairy business be made profitable and
permanent in this section?
One of the most meritorious publica-
tions that comes to our desk is Our
Dumb animals. 1t is the organ of the
American Bands of Mercy, the Massa-
chusetts Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, and other humane
organizations. Its motto is: 1--WE
speak for those who cannot speak for
themselves" We believe the price is
25 cents year. 1t usually consists of
twelve pages and is illustrated. The
object of the paper is a noble one.
Every family should have it. 1t tends
to make old and young more thought
full of the lives of the little beings in
the world at our feet. 1t will cause
many boy to think twice before he
aims his cat rifle at some mother bird
with nest full of young, just to see if
he can hit it. Much of our cruelty is
mere thoughtlessness. 1t is to be hop
ed that the law will be enforced in
this Valley in the coming summer,
and the remnant of our song birds be
preserved.
Among the fruit and flower novel
ties which 1896 brings US, we notice
that the enterprising and reliable firm
of James Vick's Sons, Rochester, n. Y,
are already calling attention to three,
which seem to have won great favor
where known. They are the DOUBLE
SWEET PEA, the only one in the world
true to name, bride of Niagara, the
..EARLY LEADER TOMATO" the earliest
of all the early tomato family and sure
to become a great favorite, and the al
ready famous blackberry, the ..RATH-
BURN" From the praise and compli-
ments given so abundantly to the
ssBride of Niagara" this sweet pea
must be more than charming and from
the encomiums lavished on both the
new tomato and this new blackberry,
it is pretty certain no garden desiring
to have the first and best of everything
can be without these three new corners.
By the way, readers, are any of you so
far behind the times as not to know
Tick's Floral Guide? If any of you
have never seen it, send 10 cents to
this firm at Rochester, N. Y, and get
copy. You can deduct this from the
first order for seeds and the pleasure
and Information their Guide will give
you will certainly induce you to keep
up the acquaintance.
VIM. Nelson, single man about 25
or 26 years of age, braking for conduc-
tor Robert Singleton was coming in
from the south yesterday morning a.
Sis and was setting brakes as the
train was coming down the grade a
mile south of town, when he fell be-
tween the box cars and was instantly
killed, his body being almost torn into
shreds. His legs and arms were cut
to pieces, and some of the limbs sever
ed from the body. The trunk of the
body was horribly mangled and the
head mashed into a pulp. Four cars
and the caboose passed over his body.
The parts of the body were gathered
together and brought to the depot inn
