Mapleton Enterprise: For the year
ending Aug. first our stock buyers ship
ped one hundred and twenty-four cars
of stock or eighteen less than the prev
ious year, and falling off from the
banner year of 1897 of almost one-half.
1t is thought that the lowest ebb has
now been reached and the future years
will show gradual increase unless
there should be another outbreak of
the hog cholera which wrought such
havoc in the herds of this locality at
the time of its appearance two years
ago If the disease does not appear
again this season farmers will raise as
many as ever as they claim the money
they get out of hogs at fair prices is the
easiest money they make, and this year
has proven that with us there is no sur
er crop than corn. The stock shipments
made represent little over hundred
thousand dollars.
Vernon Center News: f. III. Barnes,
who has charge of the Bookwalter
place south of town, is now threshing
on that place and gives some facts in
regard to the yield that are not very
encouraging to farmers. He says that
up to about two weeks before harvest
he never saw better prospects for fine
crop, but about that time the black
rust struck it, as it did so much of the
grain in this vicinity, and as result
some parts of the field yielded less than
four bushels per acre, and that of such
poor quality that it only graded No 8
and no grade. Oats are but degree
better. Part of the crops were not
worth the cutting and are still standing
in the field.
Some one stole an augur from Frank
Mahowald's shop on North Front street
Tuesday afternoon. A stranger had
been seen lettering about, and the
police arrested him. He gave the name
of D. Agar, and. did not have the augur
in his possession and denied having any
knowledge of it. He was peddling
watches and a receipt for welding
medals. and was held in custody until
this forenoon when he was ordered out
of town.
Sheriff Gerlich and County Attorney
Hughes went to Good Thunder Friday
afternoon to further look into the story
of the murder of tramp, as some of

Minnesota Lake Tribune: The
general opinion is that the machinse
will have hard time to make money
threshing at last years prices, owing to
the surplus amount of straw and the
poor quality of the wheat.
Chief Bruels has returned from
Renville county, where he was present
at the threshing of the crop from 15O
acres on his farm there. The yield was
nineteen bushels of No. / wheat to the
acre, and the oats fifty bushels.

SUNDAY BASE BALL.
II is Barred From the City Park, Says
the Mayor.

Mayor Currier was asked this after
noon by parties who are getting up an
other game of ball between travelling
men whether they could have the game
at Sibley park on Sunday. The mayor
replied that the game could not be
played there on Sunday as the park is
frequented by many of our citizens who
go there for quiet time and would be
disturbed by the noise of ball game
He had no objection to game there on
any other day, or to a Sunday game in
the outskirts of the city, where no one
would be disturbed

THERE WAS NO TROUBLE.
Mo-, to Arrest County Judges, but the Judges Did Not Appear.

Osceola, Mo-, May 2.-Marshal Dur ham had five deputies here to-day with warrants for the county judges of St. Clair county to be served if the judges could be found. 1t had been rumored that the court would meet so that a legal tax levy might be made for the coming year. It was claimed that 800 armed men would be here to prevent the deputy marshals from capturing the judges. The 300 armed men did not appear, the members of the court failed to put in an appearance and the city is quiet and peaceful. The county clerk told the deputies that the court met and made the levy last month, but declined to give the day or show the records. It was rumored the court met on the l7th. The judges are in con tempt in the federal court over the fa- nous bond litigation.

HR-"ov' kopwell P. Flower Says Capnst and the People Should Favor the
 Taxing of Franchises.

|
 New York, May 9. Ex-Gov. Roswell r. Flower, who is at the head of great enterprises which will have to. pay large sums of money under the terms or the Ford franchise tax bill. declares tlat he IS in complete sympathy with the object that measure seeks to attain. MT. Flower said that he believed that corporations should be allowed to make stated reasonable profit annually ana that they should be required to pay additional taxes in propor- tlon as their franchises increased in value He believed, he said in the granting of perpetual franchises under tnese conditions, as capitalists then would feel safe in investing great sums ln seml-public enterprises and the city ae the same time would derive greater penents in the same proportion as those who hold the franchises. Mir. Flower said that the justice of taxing iran chises had passed out of the debat- able stage and he believed the directors o1 street railroad, telephone, gas, tele- graph and subway companies would be wise to pay willingly fair tax for the privilege they have been given by the city. Corporations have nothing to fear from the Ford bill, Mir. Flower declared, because the United States supreme court in the Nebraska deci- sion established the fact that cor poration could not be taxed out of an existence

Praises Agriculture College.

We. students of the Summer
School, having taken a course in the
Agricultural College of the Missouri
State University, wish to express
our appreciation of the instructions
given. We feel that the knowledge
gained has fitted us to carry on our
nature study work in a far better
manner than heretofore. 1t has open
ed up new fields to us. We desire
that every teacher in the State be ill.,
formed of this course that as many
as possible may avail themselves of
it. No teacher, can afford to lose
this valuable opportunity for in
structions in nature study. The in
structions given by Professors Whit
ten and Mumtord, specialists and
enthusiasts along their lines, Horti-
culture aud Agriculture, has been
profitable to the teachers in attend
ance, and cannot fail to be profitable
also to the schools of the State.
