Snake Bit Off Too Much.

Union City, NO., Sept.-A four-foot
moccasin snake, which bit off more
catfish than it could chew, nearly
frightened 10-year-old Merl Stoddard,
of Avon, ILL.,, out Of half his growth.
The boy, who is visiting his uncle,
Charles Sharp, went fishing not far
from the house. The dinner bell rang
and the boy left his line in the pond.
When he returned he pulled the line
up and all he could see was a monster
snake at the end of it. Frightened,
he ran to the house for his uncle, who
returned with the child to the pond,
taking shotgun.
The snake was pulled from the
pond and literally blown in two
pieces about six inches from its nose.
1t was then discovered that his snake
ship had swallowed a catfish head
first, and on account Of its fins could
not disgorge It and regain its own
liberty.

Kingdom of Bates.

Bates county real estate is proving
to be very attractive proposition for
investors from Iowa, Illinois and 9th
er central states just now, and almost
every day local agents have parties
out looking over the country with a
view to purchasing tracts advertised.
The construction Of the dig drainage
ditch has reached people in other
states, who are making trips there to
view the lands, and a great many Of
them are investing. Bates is Que Of
the most productive counties in the
State, and probably has more tillable
land than any other county. It is the
corn country, and just now thousands
upon thousands of acres of the great
staple waving in the sunlight makes
pretty picture, and which leaves a
mighty favorable impression on the
visitors from other states. Kansas

BIG LOSS in CORN YIELD.
Drought Cut $50 Million
Bushels From the Crop.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept.-Last
month dry hot weather cut off about
$50 million bushels from the corn
crop as indicated by the conditions a
month ago. The September report
of the Agricultural Department at
Washington, made public, showed a
corn crop condition for the whole
country of S4.6 per cent of normal,
which is S.S per cent below the con-
dition reported month ago, 4.S per
cent less than a year ago, and the
lowest September condition reported
in fifteen years, except in the disas-
trous year of 1901, when the condi-
ton was $50.
Never before in recent years has
so much crop impairment occurred in
August. July is generally the month
of damage in a year of drought. This
year the prospect on August | was
for the largest crop on record, but
unusual and widespread heat and
drought have cut down the condition
so that the present indication is for
the third largest crop. The biggest
ever raised was 1927 million bushels
in 1905; the next largest, 2,708 million
bushels in 1905.
Corn was so far advanced when the
drouth struck it that there is good
chance for the final government esti-
mate to turn out better than the pres
ent indications.
The poorest prospect is in Okla.
homa, where the condition is only AZ.
The Kansas prospect dropped from sc
on August to 81 on September l.
The Missouri prospect declined q
per cent, Nebraska Is per cent, Iowa
per cent, Illinois per cent.
Even after the great loss of the corr
crop, the aggregate outturn of wheat
corn and oats this year will be 23(
million bushels more than last year.

Bates County Farmer Grows
Alfalfa.

Mr.. c. G. Hunt, one of Hudson
townships enterprising and success
full farmers and stockmen, is giving
some of his attention to the growing
Of alfalfa, sample of the third cut
ting this season is now on display at
this office. In conversation with the
editor, Mr.. Hunt stated that the first
cutting yielded two and one half tons
to the acre, the second one and one
half tons per acre, and while the
third crop was still standing, he was
convinced it would yield a ton to the
acre.
Mr. Hunt is not of the number who
take the position that alfalfa will not
grow here, and by the way it takes
such men as Mr.. Hunt to convince
the majority, who are firm in the be-
lief that to sew alfalfa in this section
is waste of both time and money!

Prosperity on 5000 Land.

An Iowa newspaper raises the in
teresting point that young man "can
better afford to go in debt $4,000 on
100 acres of good land under present
conditions than he could ten years
ago make a loan of 5000 to swing
the same piece of ground"
The point is well taken, thanks to
the record prices farm products are
bringing. There is far greater pos
sibility-it might conservatively be
called certainty-of making living
and a profit on land which costs 5000
when corn is selling for seventy cents
and oats for forty cents than on 500
land when corn sold between thirty
and forty cents and oats between
twenty and twenty-five cents a BUSH
Ell. Several things combine to bring
this about. Farm machinery costs
less nowadays than it did ten years
ago, thanks to the teaching of state
college agronomists and the careful
reading Of agricultural newspapers,
larger crops are being produced on
the same land. Another important
factor; the prosperity Of the farmer
year after year has resulted in lower
ing the interest rate, SO that money
may now be had at per cent or ever
and a half per cent lower rate Of in
terest than ten years ago, when lane
sold for little more than half what i
is selling for to-day.

SECTARIAN TOLER-
ANCE TO-DAY.

Henry Stiles Bradley, doctor OF d.
vinity, pastor of St Johns Southern
Methodist Church of St Louis, who
is about to accept a call to the pastor
ate of the Piedmont Congregational
Church of Worcester, Mass, makes,
in relatian to this even now surpris-
ing, and once impossible, step, a
statement which is of more than
common and passing interest.
Happily" declares DR.. Bradley,
1--WE are getting away from the day
when the denominations spent about
as much time and energy in finding
fault with each other as in trying to
lift the fallen, restore the hayward
and convert the sinful. We are COM
ing to recognize the fact that we are
all working to one great end, that OF
bringing the Kingdom of God to pass
on the earth, and that our chief diff
ference is in method and form OF
government"
Happy, indeed, is this reformed
and enlightened condition. Calvinist
and Catholic to-day work together ad
majoram del gratia. Both once were
wont to light pyres for heretics.
Even as DR.. Bradley points out, it is
but a generation or two ago that such
tolerance as is indicated by his pres
ent step would have stirred all the
seventy Earring sects to their inner
most fiber.
Note, now, not only pastoral but
congregational tolerance, as express
ed in DR.. Bradley's own words: 1.-THE
congregation to which | go will not
require or expect me to modify my
creed or my teaching. They believe
that am teaching the truth now, and
have been teaching it for years, and
they wish it taught from their pull
pit. ;"
Infant damnation and predestined
fires of hell for nonelected mortals
have gone their way. The new toler-
ance of Christianity even looks with
out stern disfavor upon the pious
Brahmin and the devout Jew. All Of
His creatures who believe in God are
conceded by the most liberal-minded
churchmen to be not unworthy of sal
walton. Even to the dying atheist
perchance the lamps holds out to
burn. The time is fragrant with
that love for man instilled by the
Great Teacher. And in the trinity
wherein abide also Faith and Hope,
we recognize that the greatest is

How Champ Clark Came to Read
the Bible.

Mexico Ledger.
The Hon. Champ Clark was here
Saturday on his way to Moberly.
While talking to several Mexico ac-
quaintances the subject Of speech
making was introduced and attention
called to the many illusions to scrip
ture made in his addresses. Mr..
Clark told an interesting anecdote
concerning his first reading of the
Bible and how he came to be stu
dent of the Book.
when was a small boy my faith
er made repeated efforts to get me to
read the Bible" he said, "but it all
ways struck me as rather a dry piece
of literature and refused. One day
he borrowed ''The Life of Patrick
Henry" for me. After ! had read il
through, he inquired what part liked
best.
81 replied the speeches appealed tc
me most. He then asked what par
of the speeches particularly caught
my fancy. replied Immediately
'The race is not always to the swift
nor the battle to the strong"
When he told me Patrick Henry
did not write that and that it wa.
from the Bible where there wer,
many more such passages, decided
to look and see for myself.
There is one thing about a quota
ton from the Bible, when it is appro
pirate, no one ever tries to answe
the argument"

Mad Dog Scares Are Very
Numerous.
Stray Dogs VIII BE Shot by the Po-

Good Marksmen.

On account of numerous mad dog
scares in the city with in the past
several days, Mayor scherff has in
structed the police to see that every
dog that is allowed to run loose in
the street, is muzzled. During this
month, dogs are liable to go mad at
any time and especially those that
are runnig loose in the street where It
Is impossible for them to secure water.
These stray dogs will be snot with
out mercy and the owners of valuable
animals hould keep string to them.
The mad dog scare Is serious matter,
especially in a city where there are
so many species of the canine family
running permisciously through the
streets. The local board of health is
giving the problem some attention
and expect to have II well under con-
troll within a few days.
