COOLEST JUNE IN YEAHS.

A man over ninety years of age stated
Friday that this was the coolest June that
he could remember since he was a boy
says the Messenger. He could remember
when on one June 16 there was a heavy
frost that extended from the Green noun
tains to the Hudson river and nearly all
kinds of crops were ruined. He remembers
we'll going into his father corn field and
finding the corn all cut down. There has
been one slight frost this month, and the
old gentleman considers it remarkable that
there have not been heavier ones.

harder toward the last and the gains
are smaller and smaller. The feeder
seeks to put on the fat as fast as pos
sible, and then turn the animal into
the market. This year the animals
will come in from the range in excep-
tionally fine condition. The splendid
grass that has been grown during the
summer, because of the heavy rains,
is fitting the stock for feeding at a
good profit This state has less cattle
than one year ago, owing to the sale
Of stock last season, when the drought
made it impossible for them to feed
their animals through the winter.
AS result, there must be purchased
large numbers to make up for the
loss
The table Of weights of the national
report shows that lighter cattle have
been shown tiIfs year IN che markets
than one year ago. In June Of this
year, for instance, the average In the
big western markets was 80 pounds
less than In June of 1901, and 104
pounds less than in 1ae1. The gross
weight in June was 27, ,993, ,26S pounds
less than in 1901, and 10, 1929, ,2O4 pounds
less than in 1900. From January l to
June | of this year the weight of cat
tie received at the Chicago stock yards
decreased from LOLA pounds to 900
pounds. The effect Of such a shortage
is manifest in the markets.
The bankers of this state are trying
toarrange for furnishing to the feeders
all the money they need for handling
cattle, but it is unlikely that they
will be able to do so. The reserves are
less than one year ago and the loans
are larger, leaving less opportunity
for this business. Eastern money will
be demanded in large quantities and
the commission houses are preparing
for one of the best years in their his
tory. The result will be marked
addition to the prosperity of the far
mers, when the fat cattle are turned
off in the spring.

Hanged in Mexico.

From the Laddonia Herald.
Circuit Clerk J @. Buckner showed
us the death warrant Monday that
was read TO Nathan Faucett and Jake
Muldrow who were hanged in Mexico
April Is, 1880, for the murder of
Octave Inflow. They were sentenced
TO be hanged April 2, but on the back
OF the sentence was stay Of execution
until the 10th, signed by Gov. John S.
Phelps and Michael X McGrath, Sec
retary Of State. Written on the back
was the return made by Sheriff II.
Glascock stating that he had executed
the same. The document was signed
by James Carroll, the then circuit
clerk. For % years it has remained
untouched in the circuit clerks vault,
TO be dug up at this late day for a
certified copy which was wanted by
the widow of Muldrow. 1t will be re-
memhered that Joe Hicks, of Stur-
geon, was accessory to the murder OF
Inflow, but came clear Emma Prillyi
notorious white girl and the prime
mover in the crime, was sentenced to
ten years in the.penitentiary.

DOES the State tax corporations?
Do corporations help support our pub
lie schools? Here is a way to test it.
Find what 7c levy on the 800 assessed
valuation in your district or county
amounts to and then find out how
much State school moneys your dis
trict or county gets at sl.2O per
child enumerated. The difference is
what corporations pay to support the
schools. The assessed valuation of
the average school district is $4,000
and it pays State school tax of s21.
1t has so children and receives s72 in
the annual apportionment of State
moneys. Such district receives s5l for
the support Of its schools from taxa
tion on corporations and licenses.

TALK about education In Missouri!
No other state in the Mississippi
Valley can compare with our State in
the amount Of its permanent public
shool funds state and county, of nearly
thirteen millions, the income of which
pays one-thlrd Of the salaries Of the
sixteen Thousand teachers in the pub
lie schools. No state has made better
provisions for higher education. The
recent growth of our State University
and system of high schools has attract
ed wide attention and favorable com
ment outside our borders No other
state has done so much as Missouri in
the past four years to organize Its
schools into thorough system and TO
incorporate practical elements in the
course Of study used in rural districts.

SOME of our Mexico people object to
all kinds of noise. We have people
who didn't like the Chicago & Alton
railroad division here, because there
was too much noise in town. They
don't like factories, because there is

whistles blow off once in while.
They also seriously object TO college

of a street fair. In fact, they want
