Horticultural Possibilities Of Missouri.

BY SAMUEL MILLER. BLUFFTON, MO.
Now ut the an-American Exposition,
Buffalo.
Missouri has shown. in the horticultu-
raj exhibit at the Pan-Amcrican Exposition
here, the possibilities of the State in horti-
culture, but only in part. The apples shown
here now will convince all who see them
that we surpass all other States IN that fruit.
This being the leading fruit for the masses
it is for Missouri to grow it literally for the
home and the foreign markets. When all
the trees now planted in Missouri cornc into
full bearing il will require miles of
railroad cars TO convey the surplus
to the Atlantic cities for exploration. There
need be no fear of this being overdone in
our time. Peaches also can be grown to
perfection-better in quality than the Cali
fornia product--and yet the California grow
ers send immense quantities over the rock
les to this section of the county. This is
because there is u class of people who
prefer something foreign to homegrown in
fruit: Grapes that are shipped here from
Ohio and New York are sent into Missouri
by the train load which is. in my opinion,
out of order. ! have lived in Missouri
years, and have been engaged in
grapes all that time, and
know that we can beat any State

These condition will exist so long as

Honest Politics. Honest Elections,
The Issue. In Missouri.
KEEP IN
MIND e TffINGC:

MIND THESE THINOC:
Missouri has been polling more Repub-
lican votes than Democratic for ten years.
The Democrats have kept on top by coali-
ton with other political elements. They
have offered advantages to leaders of
"Third' parties. and through such leaders
have secured enough votes not really Demo-
cratic to hold the State. They are trying
the same game now.
Beware of the men who hold one hand
on the Democratic machine and extend the
other to independent and ''1hird Party
voters.
To hold the State Senate the Democrats
have for years relied on the gerrymander
process aud they have held Congressional
Districts the same way.
To hold the State they have put the
large vote of the cities under control of
Democratic Boards, and by fraud and trick
cry have kept down the Republican vote.
All of these things show the weakness
of the Democracy. Missouri is u Republic
can State, though held by the Democrats.
Start the Imperial State on n new era of
progress and prosperity. Let every Repub-
lican in the State stand in line for u Greater
Missouri .-Political Review.

School Notes.

ocnOOi opened Monday with
good attendance but somewhat
smaller than that of the corre-
spending period usually is. This
is largely due to the extreme
drouth causing many to require
the service Of children ut home,
and partly due to the fact that
school opened earlier than last
year.
We r pleased to note the
cheerful spirit OF the pupils who
have a long walk to school.
Even the small children seem to
appreciate that the exercise IL
good for them. This speaks well
for the good sense of the commu-
nifty, for children usually index
home sentiment on school affairs,
ana those pupils who do best in
school arc almost invariably those
who belong to families where
more effort is made to praise than
to blame the school.
This spirit Of good feeling so evil
dent on all hands promises more
for a successful year than any
other one thing. Modern methods
and appliances with the best of
teachers a do little for n rcbelli-
Gus. unrcsponsive pupil.
II every patron who has the
interest OF the school at heart, will
lend a helpful home influence to-
ward the creation Of proper
school sentiment; this will be n
year of profit and helpfulncss.
In considering the merits and
dement's OF the new arrangement
of the rooms do not lose sight of
the fact that the present arrange
mcnt promises a decided increase
In the efficiency OF the work of the
school.
Parents who desire pupils to go
errands or for the mail will
please send an order to that effect,
rs otherwise pupils are required to
20 directly home.
II you have not n copy OF the
new rules, please call Mt Judge
Barnctt's office and get one. You
will need IL for reference, and
your acquaintance with its con-
tents will prevent misundcrstand-
ings and friction.
There il n marked disposition on
tn" part of high school students
to take arcgilar coarse rather than
"A mixed or broken one. This Is
not only for the best interests of
The individual pupil but OF the en-
lire school, ~ It enables US to
more time to each class.
We hope thai parents will make
cfior. to get acquainted with the
teachers rs soon as possible, and
let us Know of any thing In re-
gard to your children that will
help Us to do more efficient work
them. Let us repeat that the
success of the school depends
on the attitude of the pa
rents, and there is no way for the
to get rid of his part of the
responsibility II he would.

A change of three per cent in the vote of
Missouri will make the state safely Repub-
lican and likewise u change of
'Per Cent three per cent in Montgomery
County will make the county
Republican. This is not a big task but if
everyone works it will he comparatively
easy. The late election returns show a gain
OF over five per cent and il is at least reason

The One>Year Renter.

The bane of western agriculture is
the one-year renter. From the very
terms of his lease he becomes a rob-
Der of the soil, ever seeking to cover
the largest possible number of acres
with the least possible labor, fertil-
ity skinner, cereal nomad, an ,agri-
cultural tramp. For his existence,
and almost wholly responsible for
MS bad and blightihg work, the owner
of the land alone is to blame. Just
SO long as landlords are willing to
consent to the impoverishfnent of
their farms year after year by refus-
ing to grant any save yearly. leases,
just so long will we have the yearly
renter with us. When landlords get
sense enough to realize that the in
terests of landlord and tenant are
mutual and are best promoted by
long term leases and proper stock
ing up of the farm to consume the
products of the farm, then will a bet
ter and more sensible method of agri-
culture prevail on all rented land

Farms Wanted.

The craze for farm land which
now prevails all through the west
and northwest, has never been
equalled since the days when the
country was thrown open to settle
ment. Within year past all good
land which was slow of sale at $50 to
$40 per acre twelve months ago, has
moved up to $50 and $50 per acre
with sharp demand for it at these
figures. The overflow of population
which heretofore has always been
able to find homes on good wild west
ern lands, either as government lahd
or at very low prices in the hands
of spectators and corporations, has
made the discovery that the day of
cheap and fertile land is past never
to return, thus inevitably advancing
the price of all fertile cultivated
acres throughout the entire west and
northwest. Another cause of the ad-
vance in price is the fact that any
good land, whether worked by the
owner or rented out, will pay larger
per cent of interest upon the money
invested therein than any securities
to be obtained, with the added certain
ty of absolute security for the in
vestment and the almost certain fact
that there will be constantly in
creasing value attaching to the land
itself.

enemy as he looked at the good sword
on the wall and vainly tried to raise the
impotent arm.
Words it has been said are fossil his
tory. The Roman naturalists christened
the leopard Leobaydns because they sup
posed the spotted creature was the joint
offspring of lion and tiger. So the name
leopard, embalms ancient ignorance and
preserves it like fly in amber.
1t is the same with the word rheuma-
tism. Its name implies that it was sup
posed to be a sort Of rheum, catarrhal
affection, such as results from cold.
And while the treatment for rheumatism
was based on that theory it was small
wonder that cures were infrequent. To-
day we locate the cause of rheumatism
in the blood and we drive it out scien-
ti6cally by the use of Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
THE MODERN TREATMENT.
uOuite number of years ago, when
was girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of Sickness writes
Mrs. p. NJ. Wheeler, of No. 2 Ann Place,

severely at times with rheumatism in his
limbs. While in this condition PAM

Just then neighbor came along who
was going to town and we sent for a
bottle of DIR. Pierce's Golden, Medical
Discovery. We laid aside the doctors
medicines and commenced giving my
father the Golden Medical Discovery
according to directions. The first three
days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His
physician was surprised at the change in
his condition and candidly admitted that

Losses hy Erosion.

The man with the rolling farm has
always one enemy to watch which the
man on the fat lands never need wor-
ry about, and this is the erosion OF
his hill fields by the floods and rains
and the consequent and certain loss
of their fertility. illustrating how
great this loss is, we mention the
case of farmer through whose farm
small creek ran, which drained a
watershed including little more than
that comprised in the mans rollir
hillside acres The hillsides wen
covered with corn in July, the Sc
loose from recent cultivation, and
heavy sumer storm came up and
floods came down. The little ere
became torrent and swept throu.
the barnyard, eddying into the ba
ment of "a COW barn. When the wat
subsidized, silt deposit solid fo
in depth had to be removed fro
the barn floor, and this representt
but a fraction of the fertility
moved by this one storm from h
cornfields on the hills. This loss
constantly going on through ii
agencies of melting SHOWS and sur
mer rains, and presents to the ownt
of such lands one of the most seriou
problems with which he has to COZ
tend in the conduct OF his farm. \
land having slope in excess of twei
ty degrees should ever be kept in Gu
tivated crops If the soil be of loo,
and friable texture. Where the il
:lination exceeds this, such lane
should be used for grasses, pastur
orchards and forests. The pitc
might be increased if the soil is sti
lay, but not otherwise. In all hill
countries erosion has done more

Race and Oats.

IN s1n hwestern Minnesota las,
l"al a man sowed two pounds of rape
seed per acre in an so acre field OF
.ats. After the crop was harvested
ne shipped in two cars of sheep from
Chicago and kept them on this rape
field rs days and then shipped them
hack to Chicago. the sheep getting no
feed outside of what they obtained
from this field. The net profits of
this transaction were $500, or So per
acre for the second crop raised. A
further credit should be taken be-
cause of the splendid fertilization of
the field secured by this process, the
effect of which will be clearly mani
fest in succeeding cops.

A Benefactor Gone.

The death of Mr.. John Stewart al
Spokane Falls recently will receive
only passing comment, still he
should be credited with laying the
foundations of the present co-opera-
tive creamery system which has com
pletely revoluticnized dairying in this
country. When in 1876 he took his
own and his neighbors' milk and Sc
it in cans in cold water and made the
butter which won first prize at the
Centennial exposition at Philadel-
phia he made possible the vast wealth
which the dairy interest has since
realized all through the western
states. Such a man deserves some.
thing more than gold medal.

REFUSE TO MEET HEBRON
April Dinner of the Get Together Clul

Has Been Abandoned.
New York, April 27.-There will be
no April dinner of the Get Together
club at which Professor George p.
Heron was to have spoken. The COM
mittee of direction of the club met and
issued the following statement:
THE committee of direction of the
Get Together club has decided, in view
of the statements that have recently
appeared in the public press, TO omit
the April dinner
The dinner was to have been held
Monday night, but all but two speak
ers refused to appear at the dinner
with Professor Heron. The Rev. DR..
Josiah Strong, who was published as
one who would speak with DR.. Herror
at the meeting on Monday night has
announced thta he would not appear
with DR.. Heron and gave his reason
for that determination in the follow
ing statement:
Returning to the city from a nine
days absence, l was surprised to find
myself announced to speak on the
same platform with DIR. Heron at the
next meeting of the Get Together club.

ron's case. Learning some of these
facts, wrote last week canceling the
engagement. Later, received a very
full statement from the highest au-
thority.
HE and his female accomplice in
breaking up family have committed
crime against the fundamental in
stitution of society, and have trampled
under foot the explicit and unmistak-
able teaching of Jesus Christ Their
conduct has been despicable beyond
the resources of my vocabulary to ex-
press, and if all the facts in the case
were known, these people would not
be tolerated in any self-respecting So
ciety for an hour"
DIR. Strong has known DR.. Heron
for sixteen years. He preached the
sermon upon the occasion of DR.. Her
ron's installation in his first church
in Iowa, and has followed his career
closely ever since.
