The Nlxonlte Apple.

An apple which is attracting
considerable attention among Or
chardists in this section of tht
state is the Nixonite, a variety
that originated in Washington
County, Mo. Until recently this
apple, although grown in Wash
ing County for three-quartcrs of a
century, was not known outside OF
the county where it originated.
Lastfall, however. Mr.. H. W. Cook,
of Potosi, had somespecimensof this
fruit on exhibition at the meeting
of the State Horticultural Society,
hetd'at Pennington, where it drew
much attention, and was awarded
a premium.
The Nixonite originated in the
following manner: About the year
1925, the parent apple was pur-
chased at Herculaneum, on the
Mississippi River, by lead haulers
from this county and was distri-
buted among the miners. A Mr..
Davis found the tree seedlings in
what is known as Sandhill diggings,
near Hopewell, and transferred
them to his farm near by. Mr..
John Evans, Sr., (deceaseD, pur-
chased the farm in 1852 and rent
ed it to a Mr.. Nixon, and in honor
of his tenant named the apple Nix
onite. Two of the original trees
are still living.
The Nixonite is an extremely
large apple, bright yellow in col
or, and of good flavor. 1t is more
of fall apple than winter keep
er, but its keeping qualities are
said to be sufficient to carry it well
into the winter season. The tree
is a hardy grower and withstands
the ravages of insect pests better
than the modern varieties. MIR.
Cook, to whom we arc indebted for
the history of the apple, some
twenty years ago planted eight of
these trees in his orchard and has
not lost a single one. Nurserymen
are beginning to propagate the
variety, and in few years the ap-
pie will probably be more general
IY grown.

Our esteemed contemporary UP
the street fired a lot of interroga.
ton points at us last week. Among
other things it wants to know
whether we believe any of the
county officials in the court house
are justly entitled to salary OF
twelve or fifteen hundred dollars a
year. As we are hardly in a posi-
ton to answer the question we will
refer it to our Democratic county
clerk, or circuit clerk, or collect
or: We will give them all the
space necessary for a reply. in
the meantime we would like to
haze the etlitor of the Independent
give his opinion as to whether the
private secretary of two by four
congressman really earns his sal
ary of one hundred dollars per
month.

The Barometer of Progress.

When the Pan-American Exposition
opens, May 1st, 1901, just eight years
will have elapsed since the opening Of
the great Chicago Worlds Fair. In
this marvelously progressive era and
within the period thus included amaz-
ing and substantial progress has
been made by American inventive
genius, and in many directions. OF
this, in every direction and depart
ment, the Pan-American Exposition
will be found to have taken fullest ad.
vantage. As most brilliant illustra-
tion OF this, the electrical display,
with its two hundred Thousand lights
turning night into veritable day of
fairylanc enchant ment, was scarcely
thought of eight years ago. In every
way, shape and form the display of
electrical machinery, appliances and
new inventions, as we'll as the ccles-
tial radience born OF the mysterious
and unsoived power itself, will be up
on an altogether unparalleled scale of
force, magnitude aud perfection, alone
we'll worth Il long journey to zee. and
not likely to be equaled for at least Il
generation TO come.
Within these eight years, too, what
immense strides have been made in
the developenient and bettermeht Of
railroads, as illustrated in t1e faster
trains aud better service, which will
| bring milliunS of visitor. from renir' t,
sections, with speed, safety and crm-
fort, and at exceedingly cheap round
} trip excursion rates.

Nothing Caimitous Happened.

According to the declaration OF
Democratic stump speakers in the
last campaign Mckinley was to
have been crowned Emperor last
Monday, but strange to say moth
ing was seen of the crown and even
Hon. j. X. Jones, Chairman of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, rode in the same carriage with
Mckinley and Hanna, and not a
thing strange happened. The
President swore to defend the con-
stitution and uphold the laws just
as all his predecessors had done,
and the machinery of the universe
never slipped a cog. A few of
the Filipinos and Tagals of this
state spit ON their hands and were
ready to grab the moon 10y the tail
if the old world had jostled, but no
catastrope marred the face of ma
ture and the sun smiled serene in
the heavens. Up at jefferson
City, the cranks in the. Legislature
had fit Or two and expunged
from the record set of resolu-
tions offered by one of the Repub-
lican members, but no where else
did even one of the wheels of the
universe creak. ak.-Steelville Mir
