Missouri,s Crooked Streams.

Missouri has, perhaps, more large
and small rivers sklrting her borders
or ~trayersing parts Of her territory
than any state in the union. AlsC
her soil is so mobile that most OF then
are as crooked as a snakes track
These are the reasons why high water
whether due to excessive local rains
or the melting Of now in the Rocky
mountains, are more destructive IL
this State than in almost any other
on the other hand, to these SAINT
causes are due the %unequaled produe
tivity Of Missouri soil and the great
and rapidly and growing wealth OF
Der farmers. So it seems that thu
best thing for the States people 10 dc
Is not 20 waste their strength in la
mentations over the damage their
streams in1ict, but To strengthen and
deepen their channels 50 as 70 minim
lie the losses they cause. The advant
ages Of having plenty OF water woult
then he enjoyed without its occasiona

burg, have just closed several sales OF
property In and around Jonesburg.
Among them were the hotel opposite

man also bought 1900 acres Of land in
that vicinity for which he paid all the

MEASURES HIS WHISPERS.
Pike County Man Finds His Beard to
Be Just Eleven Feet.

Vol Tapley, a prominent farmer liy-
ing near Speneerburg, Pike County,
has perhaps the longest whiskers on
earth-Or elsewhere. Mr.. Tapley, ac-
cording TO a recent newspaper item in
his part OF the State, unwound his
beard a short time ago and measured
it. The beard, he found, measured a
little more than II feet from chin to
tip. 1t is still growing, the country
newspaper says, and appears TO have a
long lease on life.
Mr.. Tapley measures his beard only
once In a while. The job is trying.
His method OF performing the difficult
feat Of measurment-be jealousy
guards his whiskes from the unhal-
lowed touch Of other mOrtals-is &c
unwind the silken wad Of hair, catch
the tip ends thereof and the end Of a
tape line in the hinge Of a door and
let the wind blow through the dool
and shut it, then back away until the
whiskers are pulled taut.
The rest is easy. MI. Tapley toys
gently with the tape line until it par
allels his hirsute appendage, makes
note Of the 1l-foot and odd mark and
then walks to the door and releases
his whiskers.
For thirty years or more the beart
of Vol Tapley has been the perennial
pride OF Pike, and it is said that TIN
gentleman has refused offers Of thous
ands OF dollars for the long-drawn-oui
strands.

WAR ON NEGROES IN INDIANA
Employment Of 0ns as Street Car Con-
ductor so Ineensed Populaee 1t
Drove All Out

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June Is
When the interurbancar, from Evans
willie to Howells, Ind, reached the
latter place and was found to be In
charge OF a negro conductor named
George Jerome, a dozen angry men
boarded the car and gave him an un-
merciful beating.
They ordered him not TO attempt 70
run a car into the town again. Jerome
was not accused Of any offense, but
was glad to give up his job. The com
pany says it will not employ negro
conductors again.
The beating OF the negro caused
great excitement, and men patroled
the streets, declaring war on the negro
race.
Near midnight three other negroes
were found hidden in the railroad
yards, and they were set upon and al
of them injured with stones and stick
in the hands OF the whites.
The populace seemed to be besid'
itself With rage, but no one coul'
assign any reason except that n
negroes were wanted in the town.
Two families of negroes living II
the outskirts Of the town fled.
