A TOWNS RAPID GROWTH.
Population Jumped from 600 to 4O,-
900 as n Result of Visit from
President Hayes and Party.

Mr.. George Clements, of Kansas
City, a well-known knight of the
sample case, is responsible for the
following story, says the Baltimore
News:
Talk about the rapid growth Of
cities, why, Neosho Falls, Kan, holds
the record. 1 think the town is still
on the map, but l won't be sure. At
any rate, l remember when the pOpu-
lation jumped in one day from 600 to
100000, and the next day jumped back
again. This was merely occasioned
by a fair, and not a country fair at
that, but simply a little crossroads
celebration. 1t was just after Presi-
dent Hayes had been elected. He was
touring the west at the time, and the
citizens of Neosho Falls secured a
promise from him to attend their
fair. The town was fortunately on
the line of a railroad, with a service
of two trains day, but when the
company learned of the president
proposed visit a gang of workmen at
once started to lay sidings. At least
a dozen were constructed around the
little frame station, together with a
Y for the convenience of the engines.
When the great day arrived the pres
ident was at hand, with several mem
bers of his cabinet and a military es-
cort from Fort Riley. The railroad
company estimated that 10000 people
visited NeOshO Falls that day, and
dare say some of them are talking
about it yet The next day the Wis
itOrs were all gone, for there were nc
hotel accommodations, and nothing
to feed them with. The gang of work
men came back and tore up the sid
ings and the Y, and the town again
resumed its normal placidity, just as
though nothing had happened"

but this winter my little girl and my
self were taken with the grip. 1 was
so bad 1 was not able to sit up. 1 sent

" Finally 1 sent and got a bottle of
Peruna and commenced to take it. /
took two bottles and my cough was
gone and my lungs loosened up and my
head became clear. My little girl took
the same way.

SOME COSTLY SMOKED MEATS.
Fine Hams and Bacon from Ireland
Tint Rival the Product of
Virginia.

1.-The costliest of all the smoked
meats" said a dealer in such things,
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
ARE the fine hams and bacon that
come from Limerick, Ireland The
prices of these meats may vary slight
ly from time to time, the hams selling
usually, however, at from 33 to 35 cents
a pound, and the bacon at 80 or 33 cents
Il pound.
These costly smoked meats are
made from fine hogs that are fed and
tended with scrupulous care. The cur
ing process is u secret. The result is
shown in meats of such quality and
flavor as to commend them most
highly.
"Of course, there are fine hams pro-
duced here, also, notably those of Vir-
ginia. the finest of which bring "a cents
a pound. Included in the price of the
Limerick hams and bacon is a duty of
five cents n pound. If you were to add
that to the price of the Virginia hams
You would raise the cost of them to
% cents, and adding further the cost
of transportation from Europe would
bring the Virginia hams pretty close
to those of Limerick in price; so that
in their original cost they are about
the same.
''As to which is the better ham, that
would be largely a matter of taste.
The Irish ham is rich and juicy, the
Virginia is of more delicate flavor"
