exciting time. 1t took about forty-five
minutes to land the fish. He had hand
line about $50 feet long. and it is needless
to say he had none to spare, as these fish
are the swiftesS fish in these waters and
when once hooked start directly for the

sued the following circular note to its
stockholders:
I'm order that the product Of this as

be recognized by the trade as being the
best walnuts offered on the market, it
Is the intention of the directors to have
all the walnuts inspected before delivery
at the packing house and all defective.
stained or light nuts will be rejected.
"As the competition between the pro.
ducers Of walnuts will be sharp and none
but the best walnuts will be sought for
by the buyers, 1t Is our intention to put
out first-class grade in every particu-
lar, and in order that the quality Of the

all growers to irrigate at once, IL the trees
require 1t, and give at least two more ir-

part Of July. the last in August or Sep

each Irrigation.
I'VE believe that the thorough irirga-
ton and cultivation Of the orchards this
year are Of the utmost Importance in pro-
ducing well-filled nuts OF the best quail

A Meteor Bearing a Likeness Of Ad-
miral Dewey Falls on Ghost
Hill" so It is Said.

While the crowd in Mexico was
honoring Admiral Dewey on the night
of the Fourth, q monster meteor, on
the side Of which was roughly hut
plainly outlined the portrait OF the
hero of Manila, fell, 1t is said,
IN the John Greasy farm, In The
"Ghost District" just west OF Mexico.
This strange report was brought
to town yesterday by John G. Denslow
and James T. Pierce, who have been
working in the vicinity Of the Greasy
farm for several days. They state
positively that the meteor vas Dol by
several of the residents of the neigh
borhood, and that Ii was evidently
about the size of the Court House
dome. 1t fell at dusk, but there was
still sufficient light to enable the start
led observers to discern the Admirafs
portrait as it whirled through the air.
According to Mr.. Pierce, the meteor
fell in the COW lot, about 100 yards
from the house. The LEDGER CORES
pondent at Cottonwood Springs
made q journey to the farm this morn
ing for the purpose OF securing the
meteor for exhibition. he could not
dnd it. The face Of the earth was
apparently undisturbed. The people
explained this by saying that the
meteor buried itself twenty feet In the
earth, and the suction was 30 great
that il pulled the hole IN after it.

The Rush Hill Debate.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
RUSH HILL, Mo-, July I'll will give
q few remarks in regard to the debate
which will likely be appreciated by
the readers of the LEDGER. The dis
cussion between Rev. J. O. Coggins
and Rev. John Allison, Of Kirksville,
Mo-, is progressing nicely without any
anger or hatred towards each other,
but it seems that the people do more
debating than Unnecessary. One more
proposition is to be discussed. On
account of the heavy rain this morning
the debate was postponed until to-
night and will likely continue to-mor-
row and also at night, for then rs sup
posed to be the thickest of the fight
and it will take time for this battle.
The following parties from a distance
are here: J. O. Allison, of Sturgeon;
Rev. Davis, Of Kirksviile; Rev. Hobbs,
of Canton; Rev. Walton, of Mexico;
Rev. Darcy, Of Laddonia; Rev. Davis,
of MartInsburg, j. O. Coggins, Ottawa,
Kas.; Rev. Robbins, of Mexico; Rev.
L. B. Coggins, OF Mount Hope, Kas.
The attendance from the surround
ing towns and country has been good.
Each OF the debaters will carry on q
meeting for q week or two after the
discussion is over. We trust they
think all VINO are not in Christ ought
to be.

Gov. Elisha Dyer was elected Gov
ernor Of Rhode Island in 1897 and re-
elected in 1898.
Gov. Dyer is a graduate from Brown
University and Giessen University,
Germany. He served as sergeant
during the civil war; and was Ad-
jutant- General of Rhode Island from
1882 to 1895. He wrote, April II, 1898:
81 have heard so many fattering
statements of what Paine's celery
compound has done that I feel sure it
will be of very great benefit to me,
particularly at this time, when I have
so much anxiety and nervous strain"
Paine's celery compound, upon
which SO much praise has been be-
slowed, which the wealthy and those
in the highest positions unhesitatingly
endorse, is within the reach of the
humblest family in the land.
The ~incslculable amount Of good
that Palne's celery compound is doing
in making sick and even despairing
people well should compel the atten-
ton of every judicious person who is

Audrain County's Rat Case.


Audrain county has a rat case that
bids fair to become as famous as the
celebrated Iowa calf case, that ate up
several farms in costs. A farmer
named Sturgeon hired a man named
Walker to kill rats. The caudal ap-
pendage of each rat killed was turned
In by Walker as an evidence of his
service. When $50 tails had been pre-
sented Walker asked for $3.50 as pay
for his services. Here the trouble be-
gan. Sturgeon claims Walker vas to
be paid $40 for killing 1000 rats and
nothing for q smaller number. He
also claims Walker tried to palm off
mice tails as tails of young rats. The
parties have aired their grievances IN
the justice and circuit courts, Walker
securing a verdict. Sturgeon will con-
tinue his legal fight to escape pay
ment. Hence his tale of woe.

The underlying cause of nervous
debility, apparent in headaches, dys-
pepsia, sleeplessness and neuralgia, is
faulty nutrition of the entire nervous
system.
So long as the blood is pale, watery
and hampered by bad humors the
nerves cannot assimilate proper nour-
ishment, no matter how much food is
taken into the system. Paine's celery
compound arouses a hearty appetite,
regulates the bowels and brings about
a normal action of the liver.
This is the sweeping and thorough
manner in which Paine's celery COM
pound frees the system not only OF
rheumatism, eczema, salt rheum and
other diseases due to impure blood;
but also of neuralgia, sleeplessness
and nervous headaches and dyspepsia
that are brought about by a "run-
down" state of the nerves.
The use Of Paine's celery compound
makes all the difference between i'm
pure, sluggish blood and tired nerves
and healthy, energetic bodily con-
dition.

GEORGE ROBERTSON TALKS.
The Lawyer is Interviewed on the
Subject of a Recent Newspa-
per Publication.

George Robertson, who has been in
Fulton for several days holding Court
for Judge Hockaday, returned home
yesterday, and on having his attention
called to the Intelligencer article of the
9Th inst, by a LEDGER reporter, said:
81 thank you for calling my atten-
ton to this, as 1 seldom see Cooks
paper. On first reading it, 1 thought
it toe contemplate to notice, but
when I reflect that it essays to criti-
else myself and some gentlemen, per-
sonal friends of mine, met simply in
social concourse, I thought I would
give some expression to the contempt
that I feel for people who p~ersistently
NEEDLE in other peoples private af-
fairs.
"There was no significance to the
occasion Of the meeting more than
purely social, and such as is usual on
the 4th day of July. I have a right to
have at my Office, or at my home, or
at any other such place as I shall des-
ignate, my personal friends, whenever
I please, and it is nobody's business
but my own and that of my guests,
and it is only In act of contemplate
snallness in an editor or other person
to publicly discuss Of criticise it. The
editor who discusses a private meet
ing Of friends and attempts to give it
a significance which might embarras
anyone present, descends from his
duty to the public, and merits that
contempt which all such acts will re-
ceive sooner or later in every prop
erly organized community. When
Cook states that the gathering had
any Interior purpose-political, per-
sonal or otherwise-or any purpose
other than merely social and suitable
to the birthday of American independ-
ence, he simply falslies. 1 say this
much in justification of the presence
of a number of my personal friends,
as they met, regardless of politi-
cal beliefs, and the occasion was con-
Quoted as neighbors and friends-all
friendly to the cause of American
liberty and rejoicing in the victory of
the American army"
