APPLE CROP FAILS.
Not More Than 10 Per Cent of a Nor
NAL Yield in Missouri

st. Louis, Sept. Those who have
been looking after the apple crop, and
have reports from all parts of the state,
say that not more than Is per cent of a
crop will be gathered. They place the
value of the crop at about s1,0O0,OOO
Last year it was worth $12 600, 900, and
was still far from full crop.
The apple crop was never a total fail
ure in Missouri but it is far less this
year, in comparison with the size of the
orchards, than has been the case in
many years. Experts say this resulted
from injury to the prospective crop last
April. Even half a crop in this state
is worth more than a full crop of wheat.
A few years hence Missouri will be
one of the greatest apple growing local
tiles in the country. There are many
thousands of acres of young orchards
that will bear apples next year, and
thousands and thousands of acres are
being planted each year. At this rate
the day is not far distant when south
Missouri will look like a vast orchard
from st. Louis southwest to the Kansas
and Indian territory lines.
Last year the fruit marketed in this
state sold for more than three times the
value of the wheat crop. And yet
comparatively little was said about Mis-
sOuri's fruit crop. Moreover, the peach
crop was practically a failure in most
localities, and peaches bid fair to rival
apples in the southwestern part Of the
state in the future.
Should next year be favorable for
fruit, the surplus crop will no doubt be
worth $50, 0O0, 600, for it should be re-
membered that no estimates of late
have been based on a good crop of both
apples and peaches. Strawberries have
become quite an item in southwestern
Missouri ana a great deal of attention
is now being paid to all kinds of small
fruit.
It seems altogether reasonable that
during the next ten years Missouri will
far surpass any state in the union in
fruit growing, and the Ozark noun
tains and country adjacent thereto will
become one vast orcherd of peach and
apple trees. Some even predict that the
day is coming when Missouri will
raise enough apples and peaches to sup
ply the entire country.

PASS OVER A VOLCANO.
British Sailors Have Marrow Escape
in the Pacific.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. Ito pass
directly over the heart of a molten, Seeth-
ing crater and live to tell the tale is the
experience few men can boast of, but such
was the position of as healthy a looking
crowd of jacktes as ever entered port, and
the handsome British ship Sir Robert Fer
ME bore to this harbor recently the men
who have passed through that experience.
The morning of July as the vessel was
bowling along there was a sudden disturb
ance that sent everyone on deck and
struck terror TO every heart. The vessel
careened as though a typhoOn had struck
her. An investigation showed that in
stead of gale ominous calm prevail
ed, the thick, hot atmosphere foreshad-
owing danger AS the crew stood spell
bound the atmosphere became scorching
hot and Immediately behind the vessel
appeared what seemed to be an immense
geyser spouting hundreds of feet in the
air and creating monster waves which
threatened to engulf the ship.
All on board beheld the spectacle in awe,
when from the very heart of the mid
ocean fountain there was precipitated a
mass of molten matter. All that day and
far into the night the bubbling fountain
of molten matter continued to burst forth.

His Sunday School Teacher.

Bloomington, Ill, Sept. "A shocking
tragedy occurred near Mount Carmel
church, six miles east of Heyworth and

thieves. Wednesday night a set of har-
ness was stolen and it was found in a
cornfield near the church.
Two men were detailed to watch for
the thief when he went after the harness.
At 10 o clock last night man entered the
field and got the harness. In trying to

He was captured and proved to be John

was seen by some of these pickets coming
along a road. There We're three men in
it. They were John Perky, aged 10, son
of prominent farmer, and Perky's bro

country dance and festival and were
their way home. Knowing nothing what
ever of the shooting of Wilkin, the boys
did not obey the summons to halt, but
drove on faster. believing they were be-
ing held up by footpads. They were again
ordered to halt by three picketS further
down the road.
They did not obey this command and
three shots were fired from Shotguns. The
buggy went on and the men did not know
the bloody result of their work until this
morning. All three shots had passed
through the buggy and one of them had

which Swearingen. I4indhOrst and Barton

She is the Spanish gunboat Sandoval,

sTRAUS GOES TO TURKEY.
New United States Minister Has
Sailed From New York.

New York, Sept. Oscar S. Straus,
United States minister to Turkey, sail
ed to his post of duty this morning on
the Lucania, of the Cunard line. A
number of friends went down to the
steamer to see him off and wish him
success in his mission.
This is not a new field of duty for Mr..
Stratus, as he filed the same position
under Grover Cleveland's administra-
ton with marked success. Mr.. Straus
courteOusly declined to discuss his mis-
sion with newspaper men, and content
ed himself with saying that he hoped
to perform his duties with credit to
himself and the country he represents.
OF the three famous sons of Lazarus
Straus, who died within the present
year, hOnOred and respected by all VINO
knew him, it has been said that IsidOr
was the one to financier, Nathan the
one to plan and Oscar S. the one to
execute. In a way this characterize
ton of the brothers is correct, but 1t
does not go far enough 1t conveys the
idea of the possession of distinctive
gifts when the truth is that in each or
the three is found the ability to finan
cier, to plan and to execute. Many

man, who paid his debts when their
payment meant almost penury for him
