A Big Fruit Crop.


Fruit growers from all parts of the
state express the opinion that present
indications point to the largest fruit
yield in the history OF Missouri The
best authorities differ widely as to the
financial results following full yield
OF fruit 10 this state. Some estimate
the surplus product at 100000, 600
Few place 1t below this figure and a
great many far in excess thereof. Fruit
statistics are hard to procure, for a
multiplicity Of reasons. In the first
place, there has not been full yield OF
fruit in Missouri for a great many
years, and it would be largely mat
ter Of guess work 10 assume what full
yield would amount to, either in value
or bulk.
In round numbers, there are 10000,
900 bearing apple trees In Missouri. In
this respect Missouri stands at the
head OF the list. New York comes
next with $1,000, 900, and Illinois is
strong third. Many Of the Missouri
fruit trees, however are yet young, and
will not reach their full bearing capa.
city for several years to come. In ad'
dition to apple trees, Missouri ranks
away up in the list in peaches and al
kinds OF small fruits incident to this
climate. The large orchards are prac'
tically all south of the Missouri river
There is one peach orchard in How.
ell county containing $4,000 trees
Still there are few pretty large apple
orchards north Of the river, but peach
es do not doso we'll north Of the Mis-
souri, river as In the southern part o.
the state.

Irrigatsd Lands a Sure ThingI


The Government work is under full
headway toward putting water on two
hundred thousand acres Of land ad-
lacent to the Burlington road, at an
average cost of $500 an acre, 1t is
possible to-day 10 secure homestead
land along these great bitches, In ad-
vance Of the water. You can also buy
from private concerns very fine irrlga-
ted lands, under full and permanent
water supply, at prices ranging from
s25.0 90 to 5000 an acre.
The history OF western irrigated
lands shows that their value has ia
creased over one hundred per cent in
the past few years There are areas CT
irrigated lands In the west that can
not be bought to-day for $4,000 an
acre.

Warden Hall Issues Order Because
Of Trouble in the Past From the
Friends Of CoDvicts.

JEFFERSON Cry, NO., April 25.-
Sunday excursionists to Jefferson
City will hereafter find the peniten-
ttary gates closed to them. The first
excursion out from st. Louis
is billed for next Sunday. and knowl-
edge Of this fact led Warden Hall to.
day to announce that 10 the future
visitors will not be admitted to the
penitent,aEy on Sundays. This was a
privilege heretofore always accorded
to excursionists and 1t proved a
drawing card.
A good deal OF trouble has been
caused at the prison In the past from
granting this privilege Where many
visitors at one time, It was to be inn
possible for the prison officers to
watch al that trauspired
Friends OF many OF the coyicts
would take advantage OF these oppor-
tunitles TO smuggle In opium, cocaine
and other drugs, and In great many
many other ways breed trouble for
prison officers in the future.
This action of the warden will doubt
less be sore disappointment to those
interested In the excursions, as a Wis.
it to the largest prison in the world
is something of novelty to great

JUST BREATHE IT.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh in Natural
and Rational Way,

No dangerous drugs or alcoholic con-
coctions are taken into the system
when Hyomei Is used In the treatment
Of catarrh. Breathsd through the
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, the balsamie healing Of
Hyomei penetrates to the most re-
mote cells of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing al catarrhal germs, heal
ing the irritatsd mucous membrane
and effecting complete and perma-
nent cure.
No medicine taken into the stomach
can possibly reach the remote cells OF
the air passages, or give the immedi-
ate relief that follows the use OF Hyo-
mel A few days treatment is usu-
ally all that is necessary to show how
quickly this remedy will cure catarrh.
So successful has Hyomei been in
the cure OF catarrh among their Gus
toners that Woodbridge s. Purdy sell
it under a positive guarantee that 1t
costs nothing unless it gives satisfac-
tion. The complete outfit sells for one
dollar, while extra bottles can be OBJ.
talned for City cents.

of slight and brief duration.
The earthquake caused the death Of
Mrs Annie Whitaker, aged %, who
was at work In the kitchen Of her home

HIGH LICENSE IN MEXICO, MO.
The Saloons Pay $1,000 a Year

To The Star: Referring TO an arti-
Gle in a recent issue of The Star
wish to state that Mexico, Mo-, popu-
lation 5000, has for many years COLI
ected 81, 800 per year for city purposes
from each OF It's four saloons. The
high licence produced more orderly
and a better class of saloons, no tables
or seats, no minors or women allowed
In any OF them.
The lid is puton every night at 1890
a. m. and Sundays no one ever thinks
of trying to get in one OF the saloons,
not even the owners go near them on
Sunday. Since they have to pay the
high rate the saloon men that con-
tinued In the business are more pros
porous and their places and their own
appearance shows 1t.
