DALToE's BIG APPLE CROP.
Several Thousand Barrels Picked From
his Orchard in ~saverton.

The work of picking apples In the
two hundred-aere orchard OF Col Rich
ard Dalton, at Saverton in Rails coun-
ty, was completed Friday afternoon,
says the Hannibal Courier-P Pest. A
force OF thirty-one men has been en-
gagged in the work for seven weeks,
lacking but one day. The job was a
big one.
The apples were purchased ON the
trees early in the fall by Newhall &
Son, commission merchants of Chica-
go. The firm paid Col. Dalton exactly
$4,000 for them and also stood the ex-
pense of picking and packing them.
About two thousand five hundred
barrels, besides two car loads of loose
apples amounting to about eighteen
hundred bushels, were taken from the
orchard. The apples were all ship
ped to Chicago in car load lots, each
car being limited to one hundred and
sixty barrels.
The apples we're all Of the Ben
Davis, Willow Twig and Jonathan
variety. The purchasers will not
realize as much on them as they K
pected, as the dry summer caused
many to drop from the trees in their
early stage of development. The
commission merchants are not in the
business for their health, however,
and will makea nice profit, notwitE-
standing the fact that the yield wa
not up to expectations.

We as sober, men, who have not alto

for the fellow, who for the simple
love Of filthy lucre, will put the bot
Tile to his neighbDrs' lips, debauch his

for the time at least reduce him below

as he staggers from these haunts OF

from the flames Of drink that Is set ON

midnight towards the place he calls
home, watch him as he approaches in
wonder IL he does not wreak venge-
ance on a faithful wife and d~efenseless
children or he will likely besmear
them in his drunken caresses with
the filth of a sickened or debauched
stomach, but our charity should know

Many People in Mexico Learning to
Appreciate.

Many a miserable man is happy now.
Nights OF unrest, days of trouble.
Itching piles means this.
Eczema just as bad, and just as bad

A blessing TO a suffering public.
Here's a Mexico proof to back our
statement;
Mr.. o. H. Neal mail carrier between
Mexico and Cant, says: "For 20 years
| was annoyed with itching hemor-
rhoids. l tried several remedies, but
got little II any benefit from them.
Finally l procured a box of Doan's
Ointment from Buckner s. Whitney's
drug store and used part of it. Every
application brought relief until the
itching left me. There was a spot~0n
my shoulder which was very annoying.

A LETTER TO THE FARMERS.
From the Missouri Worlds Fair Com
m~issioners.

To the Farmers and Fruit Growers OF Missouri
OFFICE OF Missouri WORLDS FAIR
COMMISSION, IA LACLEDE BUILDING,
st. LOUIS, MISSOURI, October l6, 1901.
Our Legislature has provided very
literally for a presentation Of the re-
sources and products of our great State
at the coming Worlds Fair; it is the
intention of this commission that our
agricultural display be second to one.
To accomplish this we must have the
cooperation Of the farmers in every
county of the State, individually and
collectively. We want you to help us
get together the cream Of the products
Of the field, orchard, meadow vineyard
and garden; a collection which viii.
demonstrate just what each county in
the State is capable Of producing and
does produce when farmed intelligent
~, and an exhibit that will enhance
the value Of every farm In the State
We want every farmer to be on the
lookout for fine wheat, fine corn,
grasses, beans and, in fact, everything
produced from the soil. If you have
raised something which you know will
be a source of pride to your county
and a credit to yourself, preserve IL
and write us what youhaye. If con
ditions Justify, we will try and ar
range with you for its proper storage
until needed, and for its display at
the fair, with proper credit to the
county and the producer.
At least half a bushel of each sam
pie of wheat, a bushel of corn and a
half bushel of potatoes, beans, etc, a
good-sized bundle Of the various
grasses, and where practical to pre-
serve them, a half bushel of apples,
peaches, etc, should be preserved.
This has been a great wheat and
fruit year for our State, and as we
have but the crops of 1901 and 1902 to
select from, it behooyes us to preserve
the best from this years crop to guard
against a crop failure next year; and
we issue this appeal with the assur-
ance that every farmer in the State
will begin at once to keep his eyes
open for something which will add to
his States display, and to this end we
earnestly invite your cooperation.
Col. G. w. Waters, Institute Organ
izer of the State Board of Agriculture,
has been authorized to represent the
commission at the institutes, In the
matter of bringing before those inter
ested, the necessity Of prompt and
vigorous action, and your cooperation
with him and the Institutes will be Of
value.
We will be glad TO hear from every
farmer with any suggestion that may
be of interest. Sincerely.
NJ. T. DAVIS, Pres.
b. II. BoNFoEY, Secretary,

cents we possessed; and another fellow

cents we possessed; and another fellow
offered to pay way to Nashville,
Tenn, il we would identify him at
the Second National Bank where he
could borrow a couple of hundred dol
lars for immediated use, as he had
millions at Nashville; and still anoth-
er fellow who said the Laclede Hotel
was the funniest place on earth and
that a gentleman like US should not
stay at any such a place, and il we
would just be advised by him he
would take us to a fine respectable
place where the best Of grub on earth
was served, all for a song and for our
accommodation he would do the sing
ing. But just at that moment a large
red faced man walked up in front OF
US, and after looking us square in the
eyes for some time informed us that
he had known us by reputation for
many years and he hankered after the
friendly shake Of an honest hand, and
he wanted to inform us that right
across the street was the most mag
nificent saloon in the United States,
and that he was looking for a con-
genial friend to go with him and par
take of an eye-opener. But as u
eyes were already open we declined
with thanks.
We then boarded the electric car
and ran out to the new post office
building. We got on the elevator and
was swiftly taken up to the fourth or
fifth story. We walked into the court
room just in time to hear the Judge
say, the case of Hodge VS.. c. & A.
Railroad is continued until Nov. IS,
all witnesses in said case will appear
on that date dead or alive, without
any further notice.
We was glad to leave the dusty,
clamorous, noisy city. We boarded
the first train aud here we are again
in Gods country. 0 quietude, thy
charms are many.

Rex Mcdonald.

The st. Louis Republic referring to
Rex McDonald's exhibition at the st.
Louis horse show says:
Ralph Orthwein then gave an exhi-
billion on the great saddle horse, Rex
Mcdonald. The old horse looked
well, though he seems to be getting
throaty, which may have been due to
the fact that MI. Orthweln was rid
ing him for the first time. He did not
show his old style or speed anywhere,
save, perhaps, when he hit his famous
rack. Then he was the Rex of old. As
Mr.. Orthwein did not know his horse
and weighed 23O pounds, it could not
be expected that he would show Rex
better than Howard Ball. Just enough
of the old horse was seen TO convince
any one that he is still Rex and that
the horse that wants to beat him had
better be a good one.
