A Good Example

The editor Of the Popular Bluff
Mo-, Republican, who was former
ly an Illinois editor gives an In
teresting Renaissance
"When publishing a paper in 1872
at Mt. Vernon, Ill, on the second
floor a store was opened in room
under our office. The senior pro-
prietor came up stairs and con-
tracted for three columns of space
for twelve months with locals each
issue, and $500 dodgers each week.
He remarked that it was a snap to
get into a town where the other
business men didn't advertise. The
store started on borrowed capital.
In three years it had money enough
10 start three stores, one in Sedal-
ia and one in st. Louis. They dis
solved partnership and each part
ner took a field for himself. Byron
Nugent was the partner who made
the contract ana until his death
was a member of B. Nugent & Bros.
the great st. Louis house. We must
add that some OF the Old mossbacks
that were in business at Mt. YER
non before Byron Nugent ever saw
the place are still grumbling about
dull trade and hard times.

Electricity in Thunder Storms

DR.. @. c. Simpson proposes a new
theory OF the origin of the electric
ity OF rain in thunder-storms. In
such storms ascending air-currents
carry up large amounts OF mois-
ture which ~accumulates at the top
OF the currents. There it grows in
to drops, which gradually become
large enough to break. Every
breakage causes a separation OF
electricity, the water receivin, a
positive and the air a negative
charge. A given amount OF water
may be broken many times before
it falls, and thus may obtain a high
positive charge, and when it reach
es the ground as rain it retaias
this charge. In the meantime the
negative ions left in the air are alb
sorbed by the clouds, which be-
come highly charged negatively.
The rain falling from these clouds
will be positively charged. A
quantitative analysis shows, Doc
tor Simpson says, that the e.ectri-
cal separation accompanying the
breaking Of the drops is sufficient
to account for the electrical effects

Incendiary
at Work
Three Destructive Fixes With
in a Week Destroyed Prop
erty to the Value of
100000

Three times within a week has
Higginsville been visited by n
disastrous fire, and within that
time property to the value of one
hundred thousand dollars has been
destroyed. The general suppose
ton is that the fires have been Of
incendiary origin, as everything
would so indicate. Saturday morn
ing about Y O'clock fire was dis
covered in the rear OF E. w. Kruse's
implement store and feed mill and
within a short time the entire build
ing and all its contents was a mass
of ruin. 1t was a frame building
and the fire having such Roadway
soon completed the work OF de-
struction. On the south Of Mr..
Kruse's building was a frame store
building owned by j. H. Bowen.
The lower floor was vacant and the
upper was occupied by a colored
family. This building was also d.
stroyed and from it the flames
spread to the vacant frame buill-
ing OF Fritz Bollwein which was O
sumed in a very few minutes.
Again Tuesday night the town
suffered a third loss which almost
completely wiped out the block in
which the fire originated. The fire
was discovered shortly after nine
O'Clock in the real of John Wilson's
livery stable and spread with amaz-
ing rapidity. Mr.. Wilson had left
the barn about 80 minutes previous
going to his home. Silent" Lewis
who slept in the office, had just re-
tired. Those who first saw it say
the entire east part Of the barn was
in flames when discovered. So rap
idly did the flames spread that only
two of nine horses were rescued
from the barn, seven per!shing. All
OF the harness two buggies and one
wagonette were destroyed.
Among the property destroyed in
Mollenkamps implement house we're
80 carriages and buggies, go farm
wagons, a car load of binders and
innumerable other farm machinery.

$500 an Acre on Onions

Laredo, Texas, June 5.-What do
you think OF a net profit OF $500
an acre from Bermuda onions? This
is the record of Mrs. Edwarts C..
Dodd of Laredo, whom the people
Of this section call the "Onion
Queen" She grows more Bermuda
onions than any woman in the
world-135 acres-and is getting
rich at it.
Mrs. Dodd's crop this year was
not extraordinary. Most OF the
other onion growers in the Laredo
section did as well, but none of
them had in as much acreage as she
had. This fact brought her profits
UP to a figure that is astonishing
to the ordinary farmer who is con-
tent with a profit of $15 to $40 an
acre upon his land. The average
net yield which Mrs. Dodd obtained
upon her 1876 acres was about $500
an acre. The gross from
the farm was about 1925 an acre.
Growing onions is expensive. 1t
cost an average of about 1925 an
acre to plant, cultivate, harvest and
market the crop.
Mrs. Dodd is not a "book farm
er." She directs the multitudinous
affairs of her place in person. She
has capable men who look after the
details and every part of the bust
ness receives her closest supervis-
ion. Her farm embraces 600 acres
but only 200 cre are under ire
cation. In beginning onion grow
ing she knew exactly whoat to do
because the possibilities OF the bus
mess had been proven by others.
Being a widow with only the land
to depend upon she determined to
make 1T profitable and she did. A
small part OF the land was under
irrigation, the water being taken
from the Rio Grande by means OF
a steam pump.
First Mrs. Dodd enlarged the ir-
rigable tract to seventy acres, all
OF which she planted in Bermuda
onions. That was three years ago,
Conditions were favorable and des-
pite the many difficulties that had
to be overcome she marketed the
onion crop upon the seventy acres
at a net profit of $4,000. Then
she built an electric pumping sta
ton and put in a pump with a ca
pacity OF $500 gallons a minute
Besides the 1876 acres of onions Mrs
Dodd this eason had about sixty
five acres in grain, feed and va
riety OF products. Besides furnish
ing water for this 200 acres OF hel

The Father of a Soldier

in the New York Times as having
seen the incident, illustrates again
the old saying that the great men
are the simplest and the kindest.

war with SPAIN" he began. with
several other officers / was in Gen.
Wheeler's tent and we were busy
with details OF supplying the hos
pitfalls.
"Outside there was a group of
civilians. They were waiting to
get passes to see friends iii the hos
pital. Most OF them carried bas-
kets filled with dainties, which had
to be inspected so that the soldiers
would not be killed with kindness.
among the civilians there was
one who was burdened by nothing
heavier than his sto.id sadness.
They had all crowded close, in their
eagerness to get the passes, when
one of the officers of the medical
corps ordered the sergeant to shove
them back, and with unnecessary
gruffness told them to go about
their business, as General Wheeler
was too busy to see them for some
hours.
"The big mamie looked to be
a German, and he was one-was in
slant in obedience; but the others
were moving back slowly, when
Wheeler threw open the flap of
his tent and asked what the trouble
was.
"'Here are a lot of people, the
officer replied, who want hospital
passes. None OF us has had any
thing to eat since breakfast, and so
l told them to go away

Elmwood Trip

The editor had a pleasant visit
Saturday with the good people OF
Elmwood. In our drive over fl ON
Mt. Leonard we made a stop al
Arch Handcocks to see his fine
horses. He was at the barn ready
to give them some track exercise.
He has some fine racing horses and
stations. One of the best stations
is Russell Hardin. Russell Hardin
Jr., is another and he also has
Tommi B. and Prof. Nelson, NV.
Walker & Sons stallion, Arch Mel
son, is also at his stable.
The racing horses under train
ing are Lady Jane, a 3-year-o.d
filly Belle of Nelson, a five year
old filly, Gertie G. a four-year-
old by Russell Hardin. He is also
getting Russell Jr. and Tommi b.
ready for the track. We know very
little about race horses and stall
lions but we know that the horses
were in fine condition and were
the finest we had looked upon for
a long time.
Russell Hardin has a record of
2.18 Ia and is the sire OF five fine
stations.
Prof. Nelson has a record of 2.2s.
He is the sire of Mug Nelson and
Napton's Pride. After feasting on
the good looks of the horses We re-
lieved Mr.. Hancock OF a dollar for
subscription and went on our
way.
At Henry Bockelman's We found
a comparatively new citizen and
were pleased to add his lame to our

Erly Davis also gave us his name
as a subscriber.
We met j. j. Walker of Black
burn on the road and he said he'd

he'll give it another trial later.

young "store-keeper" gave us Q
