Washington, July 26.—Secretary Noble to-day issued an order to Col. Powell of the geological survey, to commence this year and eventually complete a geological survey and in- vestigation of the zinc producing field of Missouri, with a view to learning its depth, extent and rela- tions to the other metals and geo- logical formations. This is a mat- ter of importance to Missouri, es- pecially the southwest section of the state. This isa matter that has interested anumber of farmers of Shawnee township, in the north part of this county, who assert that they have found quitealarge deposit of zinc under their lands. They have also seriously considered the matter of organizing a company to make fur- ther investigations,and on one or more occasions had experts on the ground prospecting, but just what came of it we are not advised. Now gentle- men, here is an opportunity to have your prospect investigated by an ex- pert. Write him and get him to come. E. T. Steele & Co., are keeping all kinds of machine oil from 25cts per gallon up, also agents for McCor- mick machines. A few mowers left yet, but won't be left long at the prices. Mr W. H. Warnock went to St. Louis the first of the week, to inter- view Hon. John B. Henderson in re- gard torefunding twenty thousand dollars in old bonds of Prairie City township, at a lower rate of interest. From correspondence with Mr. Hen- dergon and his law partner, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Warnock was satisfied that Mr. Henderson would take a 5—20 four and a half per cent bond in lieu of the six per cents he now holds. He was greatly surprised, therefore, when Mr. H. informed him that he would not make the ex- change, and further in saying that Mr. Lewis was exceeding his authority. He said he would ex- change for five per cent bonds, but not for four and a half. Mr. War- nock thinks the outlook for dispos- ing of a bond bearing less than five per cent not very good, but he will at once resume correspondence with parties with whom he was in com- munication when the supposed deal was closed with Mr. Henderson.— Record. .

It was Harry Moore and other kindred spirits like him who secured the street railways, the electric light, the smelting works, the asylum, the artesian well, lake, ete. Yes, the enterprise of this man and others like him can be seen all over Nevada, and he is also a pol- ished gentleman and extends his hospitalities with an open hand. Such men appreciate printers ink, for this ink has made Nevada what she is, agrand little city, and other towns should profit by her example and not expend their energies in fighting public enterprises. Some towns develop rapidly, while others, with more natural ad- vantages; never develop at all. The first town is inhabited by ants, the last by snails. The ant gets out and goes to work but the snail waits to be pull- ed out of his shell. Nevada is in- habited by ants, but there are snail towns in Missouri too, and so moss covered and damp that the frogs inhabit them with the snails, and these croakers are constantly erozk- ing: Don’t improve, don’t improve, don’t improve.”---Humansville Bee.

Judge Philips of the United States circuit court smoked his last cigar a week ago and is making a hard fight againsé a habit which he acquired before the war. Speak- ing of the subject to-day he said. “I found that I was smoking from six to ten cigars a day and had every reason to believe that the habit was making serious inroads upon my health and eyesight. As I could not taper off gradually I was forced to apply the heroic treatment and am watching the effect with con- siderable interest.” On the table lay a box of fine cigars which were presented by a friend to-day.—Kan- sas City News. The New Fee Bill. The new Fee bill which takes ef- fect in November, affects but two of our county officials: the circuit clerk and the sheriff. The fees of the circuit clerk are considerbly cut down, while the fees of the sheriff are increased, making the office worth about $1,000 a year more than it was. For transcript work the clerk receives but ten cents per 100 words, while he formerly received 15 cents. He formerly recieved 10 cents for pocketing a case he now receives 5 cents. Other classes of work suf- fer considerable reduction. Under the old law the sheriff got no mileage, but now he is allowed 5 cents per mile for all distances over 5 miles from the court house. Form- erly he had to pay his deputies out of his own pocket, but he is now al. lowed two dollars a day for deputies to hold court. Bitten by a Mad Dog.

' Carthage, Mo. Ji uly 26.—A year | ago last May Volney Fullerton, a | young farmer, was bitten by a mad- dog. A few days later he was taken to Kansas City to have a madatone applied. It was supposed that all the poison was withdrawn, and being se assured by the doctors no further fears were entertained, although Prof. J. M- Stevenson, a cousin of the afflicted man, was very desirous | of having him go to Paris to be treat- ed by Pasteur. Last Friday, after working in a field, he became overheated and became feverish. Later he suffered in his arms and throat, and when water was offered him he showed strong aversion to it. He also exhibited other signs of hydrophobia. When rational he experienced the belief that he would not recover. He died yesterday noon in great agony. He was to be married next month. Don’t forget that you can buy an Estey Organ from E. T.
