May 7. GIL, Of Perry, one Of the
most energetic and thrifty farmers Of
Rails county, took 80 Shorthorn and
Hereford steers to Chicago this week
which averaged l,4S3 pounds and sold
for s7.s5. In speaking OF this sale the
Chicago DVper's Journal says; This
is the highest price yet received for
cattle this year and the top since 1882.
Mr.. Gill explained that his cattle,
which had been fed nearly a year,
had been carried almost of the winter
and spring on a mixed ration of corn,
oats and cotton seed meal. The last
thirty days they had little grass and
the last ten days before marketing the
cottonseed meal was shut OF. Most
Of the corn consumed by these cattle
during the winter was bought and
shipped 10 feeding point at a cost OF
80 and 75 cents bushel, and Mr.. Gill
said had IL not been for the hogs he
fed in connection with the cattle, ii
is doubtful that they would show any
profit even at this top price, as he
figures that nearly every steer has
consumed upwards Of s75 worth Of

AVA, ILL.,, June 13.-Rev. Luther
Tatum, a Baptist minister, was egged
last night at Dry Hill, a country COM
munlty seven miles south Of this city,
while occupying the pulpit Of the
church at that place. Rev. Tatum
has been conducting a series Of revival
meetings at Dry Hill for the past two
weeks, and on several occasions he
spoke rather severely about sinners
and persons who were out Of the
church. On two different nights
nearly the entire congregation arose
and left the house Of worship in a
body on account Of his remarks. Last
night he again spoke rather harShly,
il is alleged, and while thus engaged
a volley Of eggs was hurled at him,
several OF which struck him about the
head and shoulders. Many persons in
the audience were also hit According
TO reports, the air was thick with
eggs, some OF which were unfit for
table use. Great excitement prevail
ed for awhile, but the minister pro
ceeded with his sermon, paying no at
tention 10 the outbreak, although
smeared with broken eggs. Rev. Tatum
is a resident OF Percy, H., ard has
been engaged in church work many
years.

In reference to the contention that
the people are not reading the Bible
as they did years ago we would call
attention to the following editorial
from the st. Louis Post Dispdich: IA
curious prediction made 25 years ago
by Robert Ingersoll is recalled by re-
Gently published statistics. At that
time Col. Ingersoll declared in pub
lie lecture that the sBible was an ex-
ploded hook and that within ten
years it would be little reads Col.
Ingersoll had little respect for the
prophets, and he wonld have less could
be know the bad record made by
Ingersoll, the prophet. Since this
prophecy was made the sales Of the
Bible have quadrupled. A book that
sells 100, 900 a year is counted success
full. The American Bible Society is
sued last year 1900, 900 Bibles and the
British Society 100000. Add those
issued by other publishing houses and
we have total Of 100000. Most of
these are in foreign languages, de-
signed for the use Of missionaries, but
the number sold 10 individual pur-
chasers in England and the United
States is enormous. Many times the
Post Dispatch has recommended the
dlligent reading Of the Bible as liter
ature. Between its covers can be
found the loftiest poetry, the pro-
foundest philosophy, the most practi-
cal wisdom and the sublimest vision.
AS literature IL is unsurpassed. This
is coming to be generally acknowledg-
ed and the people are reading the
Bible with loving appreciation of its
worth as literature who reject or are
careless Of any religious faith.n

MINING SUIT SETTLED.
$2,700 in Cash Outside of Court Set
ties the Trouble.

Friday the parties of the Mcbride
Mining Co. suit met in Centralla to
take depositions. Ben 7. Hardin, Of
Kansas City, and Thos. S. Carter, Of
Sturgeon, represented the plaintiff,
Messrs. S. w. Downing and Ben
Downing, Sentney Stewart, o. d.
Gray and the Mcbride estate. The
defendants were represented by W. w.
Fry, Of Mexico. The five plaintiffs
had sued for an aggregate amount Of
s5,ol6 with interest from the time the
mine was bought.
Before the taking of deposltions
began an effort was made to compro-
mise the matter, which was finally
successful, the defendants paying
plaintiffs s2,7OO cash, and the plain
tiffs paying the cost and dismissing
the suit. This happily ends the mat
ter and the courts will be spared the
necessity of settling the difference be-
tween the parties.

There is now almost no policy OF
coercion in the islands, because the
insurrection has been so entirely over

came mere brigandage.

How many people have stood on the

work on a tall smokestack, wondering
what would happen If his scaffolding
should break? Nevada people with
such a curiosity had it gratified few
days ago. John Crockett, of Mexico,
Mo-, was painting smokestack at the
the new power house in Nevada when
his scaffolding gave way, and he fell to
the ground forty feet below, turning a

His helpers ran to him expecting tC

were surprised, therefore, when the
physician who was called said no
bones were broken and no serious in
juries had been received Crockett
landed on his shoulder and, the ground
being somewhat soft, he sustained only
a few severe bruises and a considera-

ject Of the Louisiana Purchase. These
two newspapers were in the most
conspicuous place in the baggage. The
fat Turkish official spied them at
once. He seized them, turned them
over, examined both and then called
two other Turks, each With fez on
his head and no brains under 1t. The
three made another examination.
What they found in the LEDGER and
the Cripple Creek address that was
revolutionary we do not know, but
certain it is that they promptly con-
| fiscated them. Even the usual back
sheesh had no effect. We could not
enter Constantinople without giving
up the newspapers. So we, after sew
eral fruitless appeals, succumbed. The
next day we learned that the news
papers, together with two Athens
journals had been sent to the Minister
of Police where in the newspaper
rogue's gallery they yet peacefully
repose. 1t would be interesting to
know just why Walter B. Stevens and
Robert M. White have been placed
upon the index expurgatorious Of the
Sultan of Turkey. Have they COM
mitted some particularly atrocious
crime against the peace of nations
since we left home? We do not recall
anything very outrageous which
either had done previously. 1t is
true that Mr.. White is an officer Of
the Anti-Polygamy League and MIR.
Stephens has never been Mormon,
but there was nothing personal
against the Sultan in this.
coNsTANTINoPLE- HOME OF THE sUL-
TAN AND HIS HARRM.
Constantinople has large popula-
tion- principally dogs. The dog is a
sacred animal with the Turks. He is
close kin. The location Of this great
city is beautiful and the climate is
almost ideal. The city itself is filthy
and its ruler lives shut up behind bars
in his palace with his multitude Of
wives, legal and illegal, in constant
fear of death. Turkey is an absolute
monarchy tempered by asslnation.
The Sultan does not care TO have the
temper tried. In consequence, when
he leaves bis palace, which is but once
week, to pray in mosque-we hope
he prays at home between times-the
entire Turkish army lines the streets
and the little bent old man hobbies
into the prayerniche with as much
haste as his age and feebleness per-
u,ffc
