been made by many OF the leading

cards of thanks, as an evidence of bad
taste in parading their sorrow. Our

Editor Register:-The terrible drouth
has at last been broken here, Last
night it rained hard for about thirty
minutes. and this morning it began
again, and the prospects are good for
an hours rain. 1t is hoped that within
q week the ground will once more be
soaked, and the pastures aud the stock
range will be refreshed, and grass and
herbs be enabled to grow vigorously.
Live stock of all kinds would then fat
ten, and enter the winter in far better
condition than would otherwise be
possible.
Many farmers hereabouts are much
troubled, as most OF their arduous toll
during the past four months has been
in vain. But little hay was harvested
in this section, and but very little corr
will be raised. Abundant rains during
the next month, would greatly aid the
farmers, for. fodder would mature we'll,
and it properly cared for. would do
much to offset the scarcity of hay.
There will not be nearly enough feed
In this country to winter the live stock,
and many farmers will be compelled
to dispose of q part of their stock at a
considerable loss.
Some persons have gone to the pub
lie works, and others intend seeking
employment wherever it can be found.
The wheat crop OF this section has
ben threshed and ~garnered. The yield
was in most cases. quite satisfactory
In a few instances exceeding expecta-
tions.
Live stock on the range is not in as
good condition as it usually Is at this
season of the year. Unless abundant,

1--WE have been noticing for a long
time evidences of the cloven foot in
several of our Democratic exchanges
Ia this part of the State. But the
Dexter Messenger is the first one to get
out in the middle of the road and bel
low at the Kansas City platform and
paw up dust for the ''reorganizers."
The action of the Mclean crowd OF
goldbug regulators who captured the
Ohio State convention a few days ago,
stamped on Mr.. Bryan's picture and re-
fused to endorse the Kansas City plat
form, leads the Dexter editor to fool
ishly suppose that the little coterie OF
Ohio goldbugs have set the pace and
the Democratic party is going to follow
them. Says the Messenger man: 1.-The
Ohio Democrats have spoken and their
example will be followed" Followed,
no doubt, by a set whom the Democrat
ic party may we'll be rid. 1t is now in
order for the honest, straightforward
Democrats of Stoddard county to teach
the editor of the Messenger thing or
two."-Jackson Cash-Book.

The Old Store Cat.

toothless che still catches birds and is

been doing duty in the old Clarkson
store building, sssince the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary" or
as Samantha Allen would say, ''words
to that effect" Many owner have
come and gone and many clerks have
done duty in the old store, but the only
thing that seems t be a fixture there,
is the faithful old cat. Tradition has it,
that she first went on duty there dur
ing the days of Mr.. Al. Clarkson, now
of Fl. Smith, Ark. Whether this is
true no one now seems to know. Every
one, however, who claims to have any
knowledge on the subject. says she
was old when they first took notice of
her years ago. Three or four years

broke of her legs and for a time
her life was despaired OF and Mr.. Funk.
who then occupied the store, was
begged by his clerk to end her misery
by death; but he would not do SO, and
strange to relate, in spite of her age
she recovered, and many mice have
since fallen prey to her watchfulness.
Many times she has been known to
spring from the counter into the
shelves and catch a mouse without do
ing any damage to the stock. She is
very fond of eggs and has been fur
nished her daily egg, even when eggs
were commanding twenty cents per
dozen. Last Friday she followed a
clerk into the furniture room and was
locked in and forgotten until the Satur-
day night following, when the writer
remembered hearing her over the flour
and feed room. Early Sunday morn
ing he fastened to liberate her and
gave her food and water, which she
accepted with a relish that was almost
pathetic. May the festive mouse
dread her approach for many years
yet. F. P. HnBURN.

Fight Mosquitoes with Kerosene

Major Robert II. Carter, the SUI
perintendent Of the United States
Marine Hospital, has for the past
few weeks been using kerosene oil
very effectively in the destruction of
mosquitoes at the hospital, so that
at present the institution is practi-
cally free from the pests. DIR. Carter
said yesterday that he diffused but a
very little kerosene Several table
spoonfuls) about once week in the
eight cisterns and the one cesspool
about the institution. In speaking
of his method DR.. Carter said:
81 merely put the kerosene into
the water once week; that is all that
is required. The mosquito, you
know, is an insect which lives in the
water to great extent, but comes
out to breathe the air. OF course,
the oil spreads over the entire sur
face of the water and prevents the
pest from getting above the surface.

sively and with most effective results
