UNCERTAIN, TO SAY THE LEAST.

1t has been said that the populace
would crown a man one day and
cruelty him the next. While this
would appear paradoxical, it is al
most demonstrated as true in the
case of Admiral George Dewey, the
hero of Manila, who was received only
n few weeks ago with a demonstra-
ton by the American people that
surprised the world. All the honors
that a grateful, admiring public
could confer was heaped upon his
head, and seventy million people pro-
claimed their appreciation OF his
brave and heroic efforts. His enthu-
siastic admirers paid thousands of
dollars for magnificent home in
Washington City which they present
ed to him in the name of the Ameri-
can people. Dewey took unto him
mistress of this beautiful home.
While the people preferred to keep
him to themselves alone, they did not
demur loudly to that act. But
when it became known that he had
transferred the title to this gift of a
grateful people to his new wife, such
a protest was raised as this old sea
dog never dreamed Of The papers
all over the country are cOndemning
his act in harsh terms, the subscribers |
to the fund are sending in their pro-
tests and some are even demanding |
the return of their money, on the
theory that it was not given to this |
woman, who is wealthy in her own
name and since it is diverted from
the object for which it was intended,
it should be returned But the crown
ing act of the protest occurred when
Dewey's picture was shown at a the
alter in Washington and was actually
Missed. Think of it, Admiral Dewey,
hero of Manila, so short time ago
the idol of the people, to have his
picture Missed by these same people
who threw high in air their ready
caps and offered him crown. Truly,
popular acclaim is uncertain and I'M

New York, Nov. 21.-Garrett A.

At his bedside were Mrs. Hobart and
his son Garrett A. Hobart, jr., to-

Mr.. HObart's death had been ex-
pected for some hours. The begin
ming of the end came yesterday after
noon, when there was sudden fail
ure of the heart, and from this attack
he never rallied. He had been sick
for long time, and had suffered fro
quently from heart failure, and his
strength had been undermined. Grad
ually the failure of the hearts action
became more apparent, and soon af-
ter midnight last night Mr. Hobart
became unconscious He remained
in that condition until his death.

MINERAL PROSPECTS
On Mormon Fork.

Mormon Fork, Nov 1S-MR Ed
TOR: Shortly after the investigation
was made, was introduced to Geo
Pigg, of Pennsylvania, by Judge
Alexander Freely, whom many of the
old settlers of Bates county knew.
The Judge told me he knew Mr.. Pigg,
(some OF the papers have called him
Pegg) well and he was man of prop
erty and strict integrity.
In 1867 Pigg made an investiga-
ton for oil on the Mormon fork
some two miles east of Burdett and
Prof. Broadhead, State Geologist,
wrote out Pigg's report OF his find.
That report is as follows:
At the depth of 80 feet from the
surface he passed through a 3-foot
vein of coal. At 175 feet a 2-foot
vein. At 225 feet 6-foot vein. At
800 feet a S-foot vein.
The numerous oil and gas finds in
that vicinity, to my mind, point I'M
mistakably to valuable mineral, and
it is my opinion that the children
now growing up will, many of them,
live to see that Mormon Fork coun-
try dotted over with mining camps.
Could not a stock company be or
gained OF the Ind owners of East
Boone township, including a man
versed i'll the business and hole be
put in tic Ground to a depth that
would settle the question as to the
kind and quantity of mineral sleep
ing there?
1t seems to me that it ought not to
be difficult to find fifty land owners
along Mormon and vicinity, who
would subscribe so each to satisfy
themselves what-if anything of
value-was under their land.

Young Elijah Moore has made a

IOung Eu!dH moore mas maze q
confession that he killed his father.
Rev. Jesse Moore, at his home in
Stoddard county, last week, by
shooting him with shotgun in the
head while he was asleep. He gave
as his motives for the murder that
his father was a cross, Grabbed man
to his family and at times was harsh
and cruel. He never allowed the boy
or his sister Mary any pleasures.
His idea was a life of servitude and
hard work and he enforced that with
rigid discipline upon his whole fam
lily. Although owning a good farm.
well stocked, with money in the bank
he never gave the boy but 80 cents
to spend in his life. Elijah is nineteen
years old and wanted to be like other
boys; have company, sweetheart,
make money and be his own boss.
He thought if he killed his father tina
he would be at the head of the family
and make money. After killing his
father he did the chores about the
place and built a fire in the kitchen
stove At breakfast time he told his
mother and sister that some one had
shot his fathers head off. He said
that his sister Mary knew of his in
-entiOns two weeks before the crime
was committed
