Col J. 7. johnson, farmer. stock
man ard ore u the mos promt
nenk aactoneers in the State 0l
Missouri was here to-day with al
carload q western sheep Of his
own feeding. Mr.. Johnson Is one
Of The pioneer sheep feed
ens q A0drain county, and has
been very successful in that line
as well as in many others. While
here a reporter q this paper inter
viewed Mr.. johnson regarding condh
tons IN his section 70 The state and
he made the following statement:
"Audrain county Is stiIl on top
and IS one o. he best counties in
the State.
There Is not 30 much sheep feed
ing with US as formerly this year,
neither VIII there be many cattle and
hogs fed. Scarcity Of al kinds Of
stock to feed prevails throughout
the country. Winter wheat is look
Ing fine and we have a good pros
|pect for a big crop for the coming
season. Corn turned out IN most
cases rather better than expected
and is selling for a good price.
There viii be a great deal Of
corn put in with us next spring
and the farmer seems in good spir-
its over the prices that he re-
.cefved for his products this year.
All small graino was exceptionally
good with us this year, the oat
crop being better than the aver
age
Land is advancing with us each
year and / think it the safest and
best investment that a man can
put mis- money in. have recently
added two more pieces OF Audrain
county dirt 10 my list and / think
/ win buy more soon Land is now
selling with us from $50 to 500
per acre and l am Of the opinion
there is a great deal of room for
further advance. Most al good
land now with US now for half
the crop or for from 81 to 81 per
acre for cash, some good bot
tom sod land renting as high as IS
to 50 per acre. Most of the land
lords prefer a crop rent
rather than to rent for cash, for
on an average year half Of the
crop will net the owner more profit
per acre than when rented for
cash.
Mr.. Johnson is one of the larg-
est land owners in Missouri and
lets no opportunity slip through his
hands to buy a piece Of land
worth the money and when once
he gets hold Of II, It is a hard
matter Z get him to sell.

WOUNDED BY STRAY BULLET.
Andrew Stuart Shot by Careless
Gunner Engaged in Target Practice

stray shot from a rife used by a
young man who was on the Virginia side
Of the river. short distance above the
Aqueduct bridge. yesterday afternoon,
struck Andrew Stuart, 3342 North Capitol
street and inflicted slight scalp wound.
Stuart was padding down the river in
his canoe at the time he was shot. having
been in the vicinity Of the Chain bridge
earlier in the day.
On. the Virginia side OF the river, it is
stated, some young men were engaged
at target practice, and the shooting of
the canOeist made ii appear that the shots
were fired in the direction of the water
instead of against the slope OF the HILL
Stuart called at the seventh precinct sta
ton and reported the incident but as the
shooting occurred in Virginia the police
were not able to render much assistance
It is stated that similar accident &C.
Cured on the river only few days ago.
and persons who use small craft in that
section are alarmed and indignant over
the carelessness displayed by persons who
wound sustained by Stuart was inflicted
with .22-caliber bullet and was not a
serious one.
Maj. Sylvester will have the harbor po-
lice pay particular attention along the
upper river during the remainder of the
boating season. and every effort will be
made to put stop to the dangerous prac-
tice II the local police are unable to
stop Il, an appeal will be made to the
Alexandria county authorities.

She left for Fort Washington today.
For several years 1t has been barely
possible to get messages over the tele-
phone line at any time. and often it was
impossible to establish telephone COM
munication. This was demonstrated dur
Ing the coast artillery maneuvers Of the
National Guard of the District in the
summers OF 1907 and 1908. The old tele-
phone cable has been at the bottom OF
the river since the earliest days of Fort
Washington, and there were so many
leaks, it Is said, that message started
at Fort Washington. spilled all over the
river. and petered away to a faint whis-
per before 1t reached the city. The new
cable ship will restore this cable to first
class condition.
