Geo. Bartley, living 14 miles north of Butler, while digging for water on his place last week, struck a three foot vein of coal, when down only about 5 feet. He says it is an excel- lent quality of anthracite coal, firm and hard, and burns’ well. Mr. Bartley will open up a bank for the Butler trade at once and sell on rea- sonable terms.

He had been out in the field, and returning to the house, attempt- ed to pick upa shot gun, catching hold of it near the muzzle. The load was discharged and entered his left arm just below the elbow. The bone was not broken but the flesh was literally torn from it, making a wound of a very ragged and ghastly nature.—Nevada Mail. J. K.

Mr. S's. ‘wife was away on a visit, and when he went to his houseabout 9 o'clock and unlocked the door and entered, was struck with a sand bag on the right side of the head by some one in the room, and fell in- sensible to the floor where he lay for about four hours, when he was found by the nightwatchman. Be. sides the blow on the head he re- caived a deep and painful cut across the bridge of the nose. The robber secured $46.65 in cash from Mr. | Saulsman’s pockets, but left his watch. The Herald complains of | too many hard looking strangers lounging around. This is but one Senator J. B. Newberry was in the city yesterday and gave us a pleas- Mfis Callie Adams, of Hume, is visiting ber cousin, Miss Mamie Siceloff.

Sheriff Murray, of Pettis county, who was stricken down with paralysis several weeks ago, died at his resi- dence in Sedalia Friday last. Miss Mamie Siceloff, who has been visiting at Nevada and Connely Springs, Vernon Co., returned home last Friday evening. P. C.

Mrs. Sam'l Levy and children, who have been spending the past six weeks at Sweet Springs, returned home Monday night, accompanied by Mr. Levy. C. H. Griffan, of Clinton, manager of the Clinton Drilling Co., spent Tuesday in the city. His business was to make a contract to drill the artesian well in this city. J. K.

Quite a lively tricycle race took place on Tuesday, on the stone whlk around the court house square, the contesting parties being Misses Mary Parkinson, Anna Lansdown and Hat- tie DeArmond. Miss Parkinson came out first best in the race. No prizes offered. There are about eighty-five teacners *n attendance at the Normal; most of these are ladies. We donot know why this is the case unless the lady teachers predominate in the county. It surely can not be that the desire to be proficient in the profession is possessed more by the ladies than themen. From the thorough review given end the methods discussed, we are satisfied that the teacher who does not avail himself or herself of this opportunity is the loser.

The gentlemen were at the well, when met by the reporter, trying the water of the greatest of artesian wells. When asked his opinion of the well. Mr. Fry said that it was the greatest one he had ever seen and also said that it was alone to see this well that he came to Clinton. He is one of the well-to-do farmers of Bates county, owning a large and well im- proved farm eight miles southeast of Butler, on which he is now drilling for gas. He has been drilling on his farm for some time and has reached the depth of 415 feet. Mr. Fry did not make himself very free in conversation relating to his well, but informed the reporter that he had drilled through a 4 foot vein of coal at the depth of 1650 feet. Besides this he did not desire to tell what else he had struck, but seemed to think his prospects were pretty thinks is granite, for the last 17 feet. It is so hard that it cuts the drill very badly. What he will be fortunate enough to strike, we cannot tell, but Mr. Fry says he should be amply paid for his work could he strike a vein of water one tenth or one hundredth as large as ours.

They have been drilling ; thirty fect in length, and are as pow- in a vein of very hard rock, what he in their grasp as the folds of a ot, You are only half an epicure.” So said State Fish Commissioner Eugene G. Blackford. “All fish are edible,” he continued; “but popular prejudice adjudges some to be unfit to cook. Who wonld ever dream of eating a toadfish? The ap- pearance of the creature, with its hideous head and brown, spotted skin, is sufficient to take away any man’s appetite; yet the flesh of a toadfish {s tender and palatable. When fried it }ne tastes very much like a porgy, Sharks are also excellent eating. They are very plentiful in these waters, and if people could be brought to believe that their flesh is wholesome and agreeable to the taste, an excellent fish would be sold in the market at prices so cheap that the poorest man could buy it. Shark’s flesh is firm, and in taste is hardly distin- guishable from halibut. A delicious soup can be made from the fins. The meat is best when boiled or fried in oil. The devil-fish, or giant squid, is the same creature of which Victor Hugo writes in his novel, ‘The Toilers of the Sea.” It is known to scientists as the octopus. In appearance it isa horrible monster, with a huge head and body furnished with snake-like feclers, which sometimes grow to be boa-constrictor.”’ “You donot mean to tell me that the flesh of such a creature is edible?” “It is simply delicous when proper- ly prepared. It should be cut into small pieces and stewed with herbs. It becomes then a jelly-like substance of delicate flavor that melts in the mouth. I regard the flesh of a devil- fish asa delicacy. There is another species of devil-fish which resembles a skate or ray-fish. The largest of them weigh from one hundred to one hun- dred and fifty pounds. It is excellent eating when boiled, tasting like a tur- bot. On the banks of Newfoundland and off the Massachusetts coast, where codfish are caught, some hideous sea monsters are captured by the fisher- men. fish. vicious jaws, like teeth. In averages twelve pounds. Fish- ermen regard it as a dangerous creature to handle, for with one snap of its jaws it can snip off a man’s finger or hand. When boiled the wolf-fish is almost as palatable as a haddock. It closely resembles the cod in size, ap- pearance and flavor, but is not regard- ed as a good fish on account of the re- markable thickness of the skin.”’ “Are sea-robins and goose-fish good eating?” ; “Certainty! There in no better pan- fish in the world than a sea robin. To be sure it consists almost entirely of fins, so much that many people con- found it with the flying-fish; but what flesh there is upon its bones is delicate, tasting very much like sea bass. The goose-fish is remarkably ugly to look at, but fairly good eating when boiled. It is nearly all mouth, so that, although it weighs often twelve or fifteen pounds, one or two _ persons could eat an entire fish. The angle- fish is another strange creature of the deep which could be made a popular food fish if the public could be brought to understand the excellent quality of its flesh. It runs generally from three to six pounds in weight, and resembles the sheepshead. When baked or boiled it is fully equal in flavor to the sheeps- head. The tile-fish, when boiled, tastes like the haddock. It was first caught in American waters off the coast of Massachusetts, about six years ago. It haunts very deep waters, and is not often taken. The triple, tail or black perch weighs, on an average, ten pounds. Its meat is firm and white, and resembles the black-fish in flavor. ‘The proof of the pudding is in the eating,’ is an old maxim and a true one. Ihave eaten the flesh of every fish I have referred to, and The most savage is the wolf- Ithasa large head and wide, armed with fang- weight it tuaf experience.’—N. FY. Mail and Ezpress. How to Preserve Ivory. Articles made of ivory should not be exposed to heat or dryness. They should never be exposed to the direct rays of a hot sun or placed in a closet near or under a fire, as they are very apt to split under such cir- cumstances. When ivory becomes dis- colored it may be restored toits white color by being soaked in water and when wet exposed to the action of light while shut up in a well closed glass case. When ivory has been kept long itis apt to diminish in weight, owing to the loss of gelatine, of which it is partly composed. This may be remedied by soaking the ar- ticle in a solution of that substance. It is in consequence of ivory being thus influenced that in making very min- ute measurements it is seldom em- ployed. —Detroit Tribune. —A Vermonter attending a prayer. meeting in Massachusetts heard an elderly gentleman express his i in the following manner: ‘And we should all, my dear friends, bless the Lord that we were not born in Africa, nor Vermont, nor any other dark cor= ner of the earth!"—Ss Alvans (Ry Messenger. know that my words are true by ac- Rhumatism and Nuralgia Curd in Two Days.

This is pre-eminently the vacation month, when thousands seek rest and recreation. But to those who suffer the depressing effects of summer debility, the disagreeable symptoms of scrotula, the tortures of biliousness, dyspepsia, or sick headache, there is more pain than pleasure in leaving home. To such we say, give Hood’s Sarsaparilla atrial. It will purify your blood, tone up and strengthen your body, expel every trace of scrofula, correct biliousness, and pos- tively cu:e dyspepsia or sick headache.
