yards and to the great American grunt-

mower is, cutting her swath providing
forage for the faithful horse; ten thou
sand fingers from thousand hands are
the wealth of our Southland, and few
there are who are taking time to COM
plain even of the dry weather.
Prosperity's new industry, the cotton
oil mill, is busy with preparation for
the approaching season. Before an

order: "What man is," GLOW to

1t Raincd.

1t rained for nearly sixty seconds
early yesterday afternoon. The ground
was not wet and the dust was not laid,
but nevertheless the rain was an event
of Importance. 1t was the first rain
seen in this section for many long, hot
days, during which people and crops
and stock and everything else have
suffered. When the little sprinkle
came great hopes were aroused that it
would continue, but like many other
hopes they were succeeded by disap-
pointment. All signs fail in dry
weather anyway, except the oft-spoken-
of sign of the Indian, "black clouds all
around and pouring down in the middle. "

Millionaire Studies Farming.

Columbia, Mo-, Sept. 11.-Dick
King, prospective heir to the famous
King ranch estate OF Texas, enrolled
today as 9 student Of Missouri uni
versity. He entered the Agricultural
department. Mr.. King ives q Har.
ward student and has spent the last
four years In the East. The TACT that
he entered here IL worth mentioning
for the reason that he gives the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college the choice
over every other state In the coun-
try. He picked missouri instead Of
Illinois, the leading corn state, for
the reason that he believes It offers
the best education in what is now
CO.. : .'scientific s-"'r 'ng" In the
land. Mr.. King, whose wealth lie es-
timated at about Is millions, is the
iavorite grandson Of Henrietta King,
known az the cattle queen OF Texas.
He said to-day that agriculture de.
serves Q place as fine art and has In
recent years developed into an in
dustry worthy the notice OF the
brainiest scientific men In the land.

FORECASTS HIS OWN DEATH
Chicago Man. According to PreIic-
ton at Deathbed Of Wife. Passes
Away Two Months Later.

Il cannot live without you. | will fol-
low you within two months 1t will not
be longer"
Matthias Luecker, Of Chicago, his voice
broken with sobs, spoke these words
eight weeks ago at the deathbed of his
wife. The other Gay, almost to the hour,
he died. His wish has been fulfilled.
On the day he died he said to his son,
Matthias, that the end of the two months
would come within few hours. The son
treated the remark as joke. but when
he went to his fathers home at &c
O'Clock that night he found him dead.
Luecker was prominent figure of the
old Fifth ward, in which he had been
known politically for several years.
Mrs. Luecker died from heart disease
the evening of May a. Shortly before
she died her husband and children gath
cred by her bedside 1t was at that time
Luecker told his wife he would follow
her within two months. Since her death
Luecker.s health steadily failed and his
children noticed that he was grief
stric..en. Nothing was thought of the
remarks he made to his dying wife until
the day when he said the end of the two
months was drawing near.

MAKES WIFE WORK AS HORSE.
Nebraska Man Threatened with
Lynching for Hitching Her to Har-
row when short of Animals.

Joseph Holdoebler. a native of Aus
tria, was recently bound over to the
district court under $500 bonds for
wife beating at Randolph. Neb. His
offense was brutal and the people of
Randolph declare they will lynch him
If the court does not do justice in the
case.
Holdoebler came here early this year
and with $500 of his wife's money
bought machinery and rented farm
near by. Mrs. Holdoebler is slightly
built, but Holdoebler used her for a
horse when he was short of animals.
A specific instance was referred to in
the trial. when Holdoebler hitched his
wife to disk harrow one Sunday. He
carried a rope, and when she Jagged
behind the horses he flogged her with
the rope. She then escaped to a neigh
boris with her six-months-old baby.
1t also developed in the trial that
Holdoebler advertised for another wife
and read the answers to Mrs. Holdoe-
bier to torment her. In the courtroom
Holdoebler crawled about, clinging to
his wife's knees and begging for
mercy. The wife at last refused to lis
ten to him, and he went to jail

Frank James Sues a Show.

X. c. Star, IL.
Frank James has grievance. In
fact, it is OF such a serious nature
that he filed suit in the circuit court
yesterday for $4,000 against E S.
Brigham, manager, and Others con-
nected with the ellis theater, because
Of the play now being put on at that
playhouse called "rhe James Boys
in Missouri" Not only is the play
itself Objectionable to Mr.. James
finer sensibilities, but he objects to
the billboards about town upon
which he is pictured as q train rob-
Der.
These pictures and the play, says
Mr.. James, have SO damaged his
good name and filed his soul with
so much anguish that he demands
$25, 900 actual damages and &c..
600 punitive damages.

BRITISH CABINET
GOES TO PIECES.
Chamberlain, Richie and HamlI-
ton Resign Because Of Eric
ton Over the Colonial SeCre-
tary'S Ideas on Fiscal Policy.

London, September 19-The ex-
pected split in the British cabinet
came to-day. Joseph Chamberlain,
colonial secretary; Lord George
Hamilton, secretary OF state for In.
dia, and Sir Charles Richie, chancel-
Tor of the exchequer, rendered their
designations, and they were accepted
by the king. The designations are
due to the ministers inability to 70.
concile themselves with the Aoyera-
ment's opposition to CHARACTERISTICS
new policy Of a modified form of tariff
protection,
MFR. Chamberlain la His -lt-tttr- ef
resignation, says the question ofprei
erential tariffs favoring coloni :
can not be pressed now successfully,
although he is convinced there is a
strong feeling in favor of fiscal re.
form. Mr.. Chamberlain declares En-
gland had better arrange closer un.
ion with her colonies by means OF
preferential tariffs before it is too
late. The intlmation is that IL En-
gland declines to adopt new tariff
policy soon she may lose some of her
colonies.
Replying to Mr., Chamberlain, Mr..
Balfour says the scheme is i'm rae
ticable now, as the people are not
ripe for it. He expresses sympathy
with Chamberlain, saying that under
the circumstances he cannot see what
else Chamberlain could do but resign
and carry on a campaign of educa
ton to teach the country the neces-
sity and practicability of his fiscal
policy.
II is believed Chamberlain s resig-
nation will cause the government to
appeal to the voters, in which event
Mr.. Chamberlain would probably
need Endorsement for his scheme. He
has admitted to his colleagues that
a Liberal government would, with.
out a doubt, be returned, but he be.
Iieves it would be deposed within q
few months. He counts the full Irish
support for his retaliatory tariff.

The Wise Insurance Man.

A few years after the civil war B
81. Ingram was agent at Sedalia for a
Milwaukee life insurance company.
At about that time the company
raised the limit OF it's beneficiaries
to $4,000 and asked Mr.. Ingram to
write few policies for that sum. The
president OF the company offered to
make liberal terms to five men whom
Mr.. Ingram might select. He chose
Col. A. D. Jaynes. Capt. John M.
Sneed, John R Barrett. John T.
Heard and Major Richard a. Melton.
All OF these agreed to be insured, and
Mr.. Ingram forwarded their papers.
A few days later he received word
from the head Office that Jaynes.
Sneed and Barrett had been accept
ed, but that Heard and Nelton had
been rejected. He tried hard to get
Heard and Melton accepted, but the
company positively refused. saying
thew had physical disabilities that
make them bad risks.
The result shows what keen fore
sight insurance men sometimes dis
play and also illustrates the uncer.
tsinty Of human life. The president
Of the company, the examining sur
geon, the man who wrote the policies
and the three men who were accepted
are now ell dead, but Mr.. Heard and
Major Melton, the two "bad risks,
are still living and enjoying good
health and o green oil age. Mr.
Heard IL at Sedalia, and has served
his district in congress. Major Mel
ton resides at Clinton.
