A STRIKE HEROINE.

Maud Thomas, who has leaped into
fame as the Joan of Arc of the St.
Louis street-car strikers. is the II
year-old daughter of a motorman, .liF'
ing at 2617 South Twelfth street. She
addressed crowd of union men in
South St. Louis, and then, when they
had gone wild with enthusiasm, she
led them on a march to the Carondelet
power house. Some of her followers
even procured her pony to ride, and
the marchers took up the air OF her
Chorus of Liberty" with such vim
that several detachments of the posse
comitatus arrived in short order. The
strikers found their progress blocked
by solid phalanX of armed men, and
their Joan OF Arc was promptly taken
into custody. She was returned to the
care of her parents, who are inclined
to deprecate her deed as the prompt
ing of the ringleaders of the mob. Miss

Not only will he raise enough vegeta-
bles for home consumption this sum-
Ar, but there are potatoes enough to
last all winter.
Ten acres of the Bryan farm are in
wheat, five in oats and five in corn.
Part of each crop was sold last year,
and the stables in town, as well as the
one on the country place, are supplied
from the crop raised on the farm. The
orchard consists of seventy apple trees,
twenty of peach and few cherry trees,
none of which is yet large enough to
bear fruit. There is bed of straw
berries big enough to supply the Bryan
family and the tables of several neigh
boring families in Lincoln.

Mexican Railroad Finances.

The annual report of the Mexican
Central railway has some significant
figures well worth the study of all
those who wish to invest in Mexican
securities and industries. The total
gross gain for 1899 was 81 .09I I'D. The
bulk of this advance on the receipts
of 1898 was made up of an Increase in
local freight and local passenger bust
ness. The former showed Il gain of
S1,175.6SO and the latter S5O3,J54. In
ternatonal freight showed II gain of
S42O,2GG and international passenger
business of SOB. 1t will be seen that
the local business was the chief factor
in putting the Mexican Central where
it could meet all its interest without
drawing upon the banked-up subsidy
fund as in previous years. The year
1899 was banner year for the gov
ernment of Mexico and for the Central
railway.

Prospect of the Wheat Crop.

Ever since the necessity Of plowing
up a considerable portion of the land
sown in winter wheat last fall became
apparent, more or less gloomy fore
casts have been made concerning the
amount of wheat that would eventual
ly be harvested. From the govern
ment crop report recently issued it is
learned that the deficiency thus pro
duced will be much greater than had
been anticipated. Previous reports
had shown a marked diminution in the
productive field, but the June report
brought the total figures of the aban-
doned acreage up to 5,2iOOOO, equal TO
II 1-3 per cent of the territory sown IN
wheat last fall. Not only was there
this large reduction in the field, but
after the plowed-up land had been tax
en- out of the computation the condl-
ton of the remainder was found to
hOe fallen from SS.9 on the list of last
May to S27 on the list of June. with
an acreage remaining that is far De-
