Jack Frost Has a Good Claim at Cooks
Inlet-An Audrain County Man
His Nelghbor.

R. E. Oldham, of Jefferson City, has
written to Missouri friends from
Cooks Inlet, Alaska, and says that
there r quite a number of Missouri
boys in that section. A portion of his
letter was published in the Republic
to-day and among other things, he
said:
SIT is about 20 miles to good hunting
grounds. When the NOW comes deep
I expect to do a good deal of hunting.
The best hunter here is named Buck
ner. He was the p~ateutee and manu-
facturer of the base ball NIT catchers
use. In 1890 he caught for the Chicago
league club. There are two Germans
here named Bachof, who formerly
lived on the Hampstead farm near
Jefferson City. There is also a big
Missourian from Audrain county, a
neighbor of ours and one of the best
men in camp, who helps us out on all
occasions. His name is McCannahay.
Jack Frost, from Mexico, Mo-, has one
of the best claims on Canyon Cresk.
His brother used to work for Colonel
Sam Cook, but is now running a paper
at Vandalia."
Mr.. McCannahay formerly lived in
eastern Audrain.
Consumption is disease caused by
impurity of the blood, and the first
thing to be done in it's treatment is to
make the blood pure, rich and whole
some. That is half the battle. The
other half is the impregnation of the
blood with cleansing, healing, invig-
Grating medicines. DIR. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery does both. 1t
first puts the whole digestive system
into perfect order, rids it of all i'm
purities, and from the vantage ground
30 gained, reaches out to every fiber
Of the body and restores all to perfect
vigor. 1t cures many diseases, SIM
ply because many diseases spring
from a set of common causes. The
same disorder may lead to different
in different people. What
might be only a little indigestion in
one person, may combine with a slight
cold in another and result in consump-
lion. A treatment that tones up the
whole system is always the safest. A
medicine that is good for the general
health is pretty sure to cure ordinary
diseased.

Is Tuberculosis IncurabIef

The agricultural experiment station
OF Indiana in a recent bulletin mo. 63l
makes the broad statement that cura-
tive means are unknown in the treat.
ment of tuberculosis or consumption.
On this statement National Stockman
comments as follows: We think this
statement could not have been made,
or at least unqualified, for In cases
where the disease has been taken al
the outset there have been known some
complete cures. At the post mortem
examination of the bodies at the Paris
morgue 1t has been found that quite
a large per cent of the bodies showed
healed tabereles, that Is, the subject
had had the disease but owing to some
change of life the progress OF the dis
ease had been arrested and the patient
recovered. The nature of the disease
Is such that these cases leave indisput-
able evidence of the facts. The prog
ress OF the disease is marked by the
growth of the germs which results In
the breaking down of the tissues. and
in cases where the disease has been
checked It's former presence is marked
by the healed tubercles. The Rural
New Yorker published some time ago
an account OF a case where several
cows were subjected to the tuberculin
test and showed reaction. Instead OF
being slaughtered they were removed
to stable where they could have an
abundance of pure air and sunshine
and at the end of year they were
again subjected to the test, but show
ed no traces of reaction, and upon be-
ing slaughtered were found to be Who'll
i ly cured of the disease. There Is as yet
no medicine that will effect a cure. but
with either man or beast If the case Is
not too far gone an abundance of pure
air and sunshine will often do SO. The
disease is bad enough as 1t is, and let
us not take from it one ray of hope
the chance of recovery.

Ny some the increase in corn cuIture
In the Southern states since 1850 Ia
ascribed to a competition begun eight
years ago in one of the agricultural
papers. which offered a cash prize to
the American farmer who raised the
largest crop to the acre of any cereal,
says For Worth Live Stock Reporter.
The prize for wheat went to Utah, fos
oats to New York, for barley to Ohio.
and for corn, strange to relate. to
South Carolina. One farmer In Marl-
borough county, in that state, estab-
iished his claim to have raised crop
from one acre of 239 bushels, and the
awarding of the prize was revelation
TO many Southern farmers who had
uniformly regarded cotton as the sta
pie agricultural product of the South
and had seen neither reason nor profit
IN the cultivation of corn. Since then,
Whatever the reason of the develop
inent OF the corn crop in the South may
nave been, 1t is fact that 1t has been
enormously increased. and that the
western states no longer hold their re-
latlVe prominence as corngrowers. BY
the official census of 1880 there were
produced in the United States in that
year l. l.750,000,000 bushels of corn, and
by figures Of the deparement Of agri-
culture in 1895, fifteen years later. the
corn crop of the United States was g.
l6O.000,000 bushels. The increase, how
ever, was not uniform; 1t was greatest
IN the southern states. Alabama in
creased from 25,000,000 to 45.000,000
bushels. Arkansas increased from "a
100000 to $4,000, 900 bushels, more than
double Louisiana increased from ten
to twenty-five million bushels. Gaor-
gia from twenty-three to forty-two mil
lion. Florida from three to six mil
lion, and Texas, most remarkable OF
all, from twenty-nine to one hundred
and seven million. Mississippi in
creased from twenty-one to thirty five
million bushels, and South Carolina
from eleven to twenty million. While
the southern states have been increas-
ing their corn product, the former corn
states have either made no gain or
have been falling off. From 1880 to
1895, Iowa increased only from 275 to
2sS million bushels, Indiana from lis
to 121, and Michigan from 80 to 3s
million bushels. Wisconsin fell on
from "a to 33 million bushels, Ohio
from Ill to 80 million, and Illinois,
once the chief corn-producing state in
the corn belt, from 1876 to 255 million
bushels. In the same period New York
declined from rs to Is million bushels
The corn product OF Pennsylvania fell
off from As to 43 million bushels, and
in other states of the east or middle
west the proportionate decline wal
practically the same. The south is tn,
region in which there has been a ma.
terial increase in corn product.

Homestead. The sap wood is most
subject to blight. although no part of
the trees that are subject to it is ex-

oper are very susceptible to blight. and
their presence on some soils during

ment is distress and a weariness of
the flesh of any lover of trees. Never
theless, the merits of these and other
sorts that blight are such when they
get old and fruitful that they are
planted every year and they stay with
us. When trees that blight readily are
planted they should not be grown too
rapidly, and after they start thsy
should be seeded down so as to make
the growth slower. This may not work
on all soils, but 1t has been our obserY-
alton and Is worth trying. They need
north hillside planting, with thin soil
and only a moderate annual growth.

A BIG SUIT EXPECTED.

Linceln, Neb., June 2l.-Nearly 100
moneyed men of Illinois, scattered
over the state from Chicago to East

oria and Galesburg, have been made
defendants in what is likely to prove
the most sensational bank litigation
ever instituted in the west the next
chapter in the famous case in which
Charles Mosher, president of the de-
funct Capital National bank of this
city, figured to the extent of stealing
something over million dollars.
His bank closed in 1891. Ten years
prior to that time, the Capital Nation
al had been paying big dividends,
amounting in the aggregate to half a
million dollars The stockholders
were mostly Illinois people. Receiver
Hayden of the Mosher bank now has
brought suit against these stocl1hold-
ers to force them to return the divi-
dends paid by Mosher, on the ground
that they We're not earned but were
paid out of the money of the depositors.
He says that the books show that the
bank never made dollar. A similar
suit has just been decided against a
New York stakeholder, II. Ward How
