Crops in Central Portion
Of State May Be Injured.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. ga
heavy rain that has been falling in
this vicinity during the last twelve
hours turned into snow. The snow
continued falling all day, but did not
cover the ground. A driving wind
carried the snow away leaving the
wheat and oats unprotected.
The weather is growing colder here,
and there is no doubt but what the
ground will be frozen by morning,
which will be a great detriment to the
wheat crop.
Reports from farmers in this vicin-
ity before the blizzard have not been
very encouraging-in fact, the indica'
tiohs we're that there would be poor
crop In Central Missouri.
The blizzard has not helped condi-
tians any, and should the ground
freeze heavily, 1t will greatly damage
the wheat crop in Central Missouri.

Abraham Lincoln and John Hay.

From Leslie's Weekly.
From a somewhat careful study OF
the literary characteristics OF Abra.
ham Lincoln and John Hay, as well
as OF their respective natural dis
positions, We are led to remark the
likeness between these two celebrated
men. They were both humorously
inclined, Lincoln in his somewhat
rude and homely way; Hay in his
more cultured style. Each was able
to clothe his ideas-always notably
permeated with charity-in clear,
simple, logical English. On special
occasions each rose to heights OF
classical expression In voicing great
thoughts. One may almost conclude
that Hay was the perfect type Of
Lincoln's cruder personality, and
that rs a disciple OF bis great leader,
with whom he was 50 closely asso.
ciatedin bis younger formative days,
he had consciously or unconsciously
imbibed not only his masters style,
but his spirit as we'll.
