wool, only so far as designing men
took advantage of conditions. After
the boom and the bursting thereof;
after the extravaganza of years be-
fore; after the bonding of railroads;
after years of watering Of stock; after
floating more bonds than the market
would bear, there came a day Of set
Element, day of adjustment. Every
body owed somebody else. Some
body else owed the other fellow.
Wall Street bankers took the advant-
age, made the government bear their
burdens, and the condition of every.
thing reduced wages and prices. The
sheepman must not think he is the
only man in the world. Let them
put the wool schedule where it will
produce the least harm to the pro-
Queer; the most good to the consum-
er, giving the manufacturer a reason
able profit. AS for me, l am willing
to trust my interest to the Democrats

to my interest to require the consum-

POISONING STOCK
AT FOSTER, MO.
d. H. Arbogast Loses Two Fine Cattle
at Hands of Unknown POisioner.

D. H. Arbogast Loses Two Fine Cattle
at Hands of Unknown PoisiOner.
The good people of Foster and vi.
entity are considerably worked up
over the work of ain unknown poison
er, by whose hand D. H. Arbogast
one of the most prominent citizens Of
that place lost two fine mich COWS
Sunday night.
Mr.. Arbogast and his friends have
strong suspicious as the indentity OF
the guilty party, and on Monday
evening came to this city and laid the
facts in the case, together with their
suspicious before the grand jury, but
there being no direct evidence, that
body was unable to act. Feeling is
running high among the citizens Of
Foster, and should any evidence be
found, directly pointing to the identi-
ty of the perpetrator of the outrage
he will be severely dealt with.
The poisson was without doubt pre-
pared especially for Mr.. Arbogast's
cattle as an empty can which had
contained paris green was found in the
COW lot about 40 feet from the fence.
A short distance away was found a
quantity of corn chops with which a
considerable amount of paris green
had been mixed and which the cattle
had been eating.
Mr.. Arbogast's son found the can
which had contained the poison early
Monday morning when he went to
milk. Picking it up, he returned to
the house and showed it to his mother,
who supposing that it had been
thrown into the lot accidently by some
neighbor using the poison to kill po-
tato bugs, threw the can into the fire.
Returning to the lot, the young man
then discovered the pile of corn chops
with the paris green had been mixed.
His father was called and together
they drove the cattle from the lot.
That all but one had eaten of the
deadly mixture was evidenced by the
green upon their noses.
Shortly after being driven from the
lot, one of the cattle showed evidence
of being i'll, and died in about an
hour. Thirty minutes after the death
of the first the second cow had died.
On account of the destruction of the
can which had contained the paris
green, it is impossible to discover
where or by whom it was purchased.
Mr.. Arbogast on Tuesday said:
although have lived in the vicinity
of Foster for the past twenty-five
years, l have never turposely or
knowingly done any man a wrong,
and cannot conceive Of any neiQhb0r

COL. SHARP INDICATED.
A Bell Buzzard Seen in Illinois.

A Bell BuZZard Seen in Illinois.
The reputation of Col. Jas. N.
Sharp, of Mound, for truth and verac-
ity has been completely vindicated
through the untiring efforts of his
friend, the Hon. J. Emmett Hook, of
Hudson.
Some years ago, Col. Sharp blew
into town with the startling news that
he had seena bell buzzard. His story
was dulypublished by a reliable news
paper, but in spite of this, many of
the boys rather believed that the COL
onel was taking somewhat of an ad-
vantage of his poetic license.
Mr.. Hook, who is a warm friend of
Col. Sharp's deplored this condition
of affairs, and for years has been
searching proofs to submit to the
public in order that Col. Sharps claims
might be substantiated. His search
was at last rewarded and he sends us
this clipping from the Joppa, III. En-
terprise:
III. D. Brashers tells us of sight
which he and his son Bert saw while
at work on their farm one day last
week. He says their attention was
called to the jingling of small bell
and when they were able to locate the
direction from whence the sound
came it was some distance above them
in the air. They looked up and saw
a buzzard sailing in a circle and no.
ticed that bell was being borne by
the buzzard. The bell had been at
tached to the buzzard's neck and
when he Topped his wings in flying
the bell rang. This incident brings
to mind the fact about a year ago we
read an account of a belled buzzard
which had been seen by some citizen
Of Bedford, Ind. This may be the
same old buzzard."

NO FEARS FOR
SCHEDULE X"
Does Not Believe Wool Tariff was In
tended to Reach Sheepmen.

The following letter written by
prominent sheep man, H. D. Mile
of Golden, Mo-, and appearing in thu
Ruralist is a pretty fair indication o
the views of independent sheep mer
upon the reductions Of the WOO
tariff.
noticed in your paper of April Il
an article written by the American
Sheep Breeder Company, Chicago,
"Rallying Cry for Schedule X" He
says in substance "our sheep industry
representing an investment of $500,
100000, is in jeopardy. The. sheer
haters at Washington are ready tc
anihilate the wool industry. Ii they
cut the tariff or remove it entirely,
mutton will be much higher, for hall
of the sheepmen in the country will
quit the business. The wool grower
gets just $l.68 for the wool in suit
of clothes, and the manufacturer is in
luck if he makes a profit of more
than 80 cents from the goods. We are
convinced that the net prof that the
grower and manufacturer gets from
a suit of all wool clothes is under 70
cents. The wool grower cannot COM
pete with cheap land and labor of
foreign countries. This was demon
strated under Cleveland's administra-
ton. Sheep then could be bought for
from rs cents to 81 per head. The
wool growers are thoroughly alarmed
over the situation.
Now, am wool grower in small
way, and do not feel the least alarm
over schedule X and these are the
reasons why: We had free wool
experience resulting in loss of hun
dreds Of millions of dollars. These
are the reasons: From good author
ity l understand the tariff enables the
manufacturer to get profit Of IS, 600
on 10000 yards of cloth of a certain
grade, 1850 on another grade, same
number of yards; $500 on another
grade, same number Of yards. One
of US got our information from the
wrong place. Yes, during Cleve-
lands administration tariff was re-
duced on wool wool, but did that
cause wheat to sell in Liverpool the
lowest it had sold since the 18th CEN
fury? Did the reduction Of wool
cause the opening of soup houses in
Europe? Did the democratic tariff
the depression in commerce all over
the world? Did II cause the drouth
in India in 1896 1895?
A good many Of the people are like
the Kansas Dutchman in Western
Kansas, when asked If he was going
to vote the Democratic ticket said
mix" On being asked why he. an
swered: "When.I votes the Demo
crat ticket we have dry weather and
/ gets no crops. When vote the
Republican ticket we have plenty Of

Perhaps a word as to how TO
look at pictures may not be out
of place.
Your artist is an interpreter of
nature-never copyist. He
leaves out incongruous elements
and often adds things of his
own invention. Most people stop
before a picture-and condemn it
or praise it in proportion as it ap-
proaches perfection as an illusion.

smile, This man is great artist,

art" says Mr.. Ernsti "art is
the expression of mans joy in
hi work" The shadow of art is
its appeal to mankind. In this
sense literature is of all forms of
art most limited in its own field
In general, literature makes a
wide appeal only to the readers
Of single nation. Music when
all is said and done, is limited to
those who through study or
natural gift possess a certain SEN
sltiveness of ear. But the allied
arts OF architecture and painting
enter in the most intimate way
into our lives. So perhaps we
have in this fact the reason for
the common usage of the word
art, not to express the whole
field of art but its particular man.
iiestations, painting and archi-
lecture.
Each art has had its own de-
velopment yet all forms have
been linked together closely by a
curious thread of circumstance
which has lead often to unbound
ed assumpticrs of cause and eff
feet. In order to understand the
artistic expression of our own
time, it is necessary for US to
know something of the history of
art. But !, should be clear that
an understanding of art is not an
essential to its appreciation. tho
a factor of it. In the present ex-
hibition there. the property OF
A w. Elson < Company of Bos-
ton. we are shown some of the
earliest strivings of humanity
towards artistic exprl ssion
Various photographs OF archi-
lecture Will be shown 1t wall be
interesting TO trace therein the
close association of our present
day architecture OF Greece and
Rome. Our own capital at Wash
ington our so call-d Colonial
houses are but children of the
mighty buildings of Rome and
grandchildren OF the temples OF
Greece. The great Gothic monu-
ment. the Romanic element frozen
into stone is ably represented by
photographs of the cathedrals OF
Cologne and Durham. There are
views of Westminster Abbey both
inside and out tho ii must be said
that Westminster IS interesting
rather as an historic monument
than as an artistic achievement.
The interior of the abbey is in as
hopeless taste as the Albert me
mortal or SIR Walter SCOTS mon
ument in Edinburgh.
Paintings in monochrome re
productions are shown which date
from the time of Moses until the
present time. Some OF the older
paintings will seem unlovely to
our eyes. Only the student of
art can understand the quaint
figure painting of Giatto OF Fra
Angelica or the other painters of
the early Renaissance. Among
the painters of the high or later
Renascence, Michael Angelo, Le-
onardo da Vinci and Raphael are
usually considered the greatest
but the two former are infinitely
interior to Raphael in point OF
virility and depth. Michael An
gelo unfortunately is not well
represented, we should have had
more examples of his Sistine
paintings. Leonardo is seen in
