Secretary Sherman and Assistant Sec
retary Rockhill came with them to make
| the presentation. There were no formal
tiles. The ambassadors and ministers
| grouped themselves in a circle about the
room. To the right stood Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador, ana

suites. The Turkish minister and his
secretaries wore their fez caps, and the
Chinese and Corean ministers were In

advanced within the circle and greeted
each foreign representative in turn with
cordial grasp of the hand. When this
reception closed the president returned

While the president was at lunch
word reached him that Gen. Hastings of
the Bermuda islands, who served with
the president during the war, had fallen
near the treasury building and was at
the emergency hospital with a broken
leg. 1t was a shock to the president, as
he had been talking with Gen. Hastings
only an hour before, and knew that his
war wounds and advanced age would
make the condition a dangerous one.
Accordingly the president determined
to go to the hospital and see his old conf
rade, and at 2:S0 p. IN. the White House
carriage started with the president for
the emergency hospital word being left
for the crowd of callers that he would
be gone an hour.
The president had fixed 430 as the
time for a walk, but just before that
time Chairman Dingley and Represen-
tative Grosvenor arrived. They were
seen by the president in the diplomatic
office, the conference being a protracted
one.
1t was the first opportunity that had
been afforded of acquainting the presi-
dent with the status of the tariff bill,
now we'll along toward completion. 1t
was nearly o'clock before the president
started for his daily walk.
The following genera lrules were de-
cided on today concerning the reception
of public men and callers generally:

No Change in the Wheat Market.

New York, Aug. 3l.-Dealings in
wheat to day were confined within q

Crop news has little effect on the

reported, mostly Kansas hard wheat

dropped to 944 and closed at 94a. or

night. Total transactions were only
3,230,000 bushels.
Corn maintained a steady tone all
day in the face of rather heavy sell
ing on the part of several big western
longs. Local demand was stimulst-
ed by dry weather, stronger cables
and lighter receipts than expected.
December sold from 37tl to 37s cents

1T is estimated by poultry deal

estimate is thought to be conserva-
tive, Missouri has a grand total of

accounts Of the Missouri farmers
and pou'ty producers, almost with.
out cost, evincing the fact that the
Missouri hen, as managed bv the
Missouri farmers wife. is the most
industrious and valuable fowl on
earth
''The large poultry production of
this State may be accounted for by
the fact that, according TO the United
States census of 1890, Missouri had
more barnysrd fowls than any other
State, and that its poultry associa-
tions and progressive breeders have
encouraged the production of a very

Rich HILL, Mo-, Aug. so, '97.
In view of the fact that there has
been recent legislation effecting the
school books desire to call your
attention to sections of the law quot.
ed below:
Sec IL. From aud after the first
day of September, 1897. and until
otherwise provided for by law, no
text books except those contracted
for by sail commission shall bs sold
for use in the public schools of Mis-
souri,; and from and after the first
day of September, 1898, and until
otherwise provided by law. no text
books except those contracted for
by said commission, shall bs usel or
taught in any public school in this
state.
Sec. II Any school di.e:tor or
board of school dire ctors of anv
school district within this state, who
shall sanction or permit any
other text book or books in the
same branches and of the same grade
as those hereinbefore provided for
to be used in any public school of
such district after the date hereiube-
fore specified in section IL shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction thereof, shall
be fined not less than five or more
than twenty-five dollars for each Of
fepse.
The law further stipulates that in
order to get the benefit of the ex.
change price the exchange must be
made within six months, beginning
Sept. LIST. 81. It is serious mis-,
take not TO exchange books within
the time specified by law. The neg
itct to do so means the total loss to
the people OF Bates county of th
entire exchange price which would
amount to at lesst $4,000. Mvad
wee to you would be to change books
just as soon as it is possible to do
so.
Some people very uniustly hold
the school officers and school teach
ers of the county responsible for the
change. L desire to say tba. they
are IN no way connected with
the exchange and are not "a
sponsible for it If a wrong has
been perpetrated it has been dono
by the legislature Of tie state.
L am reliably informed by the book
companies and book dealers tba. iba
books will be ready for use the 6rst
