Mrs Greze, of west Poin’, was in the city Saturday consuli‘og with her attorney W. W. Graves, co .cern- ing aloss she had svstained some tendaysago. Mrs Green had about $500 in moneyin the house, which she had kept secreted in a small closet. She missed the moaey be- tween Wednesday morning and Thursday night. Suspicion points strongly to parties who were aware of the money being kept in the house and place of concealment. The authorities have the matter in hand anda strong effort will be made to apprehend the thief. Lane pays 14 cents for eggs and makes a profit one way. C. H. and J. M. Moore purchased of D. N. Thompson seventy-five head of 2aud 3 year old steers at 14 cents per pound with 21 agreement that Mr. Thompson is to buy them back the first of April at 3 cents. In conversation with Mr. Moore on Monday he said that if hedid not put a pound on the cattle but held them at their present weight they wovld still be making 0 cents on their corn, figuring 75 bushels to the steer. Put he does not consider 300 pounds added a big estimate which would make him $9 profit, besides the hogs.

Pierce City, Mo., Sept. 5.—The case of the State of Missouri ve. Father Hines was called in the cir- cuit court of Lawrence county yes- terdy morning, and to-day a jury ree turned a verdict of not guilty. This was a case of malicious mischief for breaking the stile at the Catholic cemetery at this place and of which he has had charge of for 10 years. The warrant was sworn out by Den- nis Nobnan, at the instigation of Bishop Hogan, and was the result of the bishop's ill-will toward Fath- er Hines. He was enabled to do so as the deed to the cemetery is iu his name. The fight has been going on between Hogau and Hines for six years and was started by some re- bellious members who refused to pay pew rentend who enlisted the bishop in their behalf. The bishop suspended Hines about two years ago, but Hines denied the bishop's right to relieve priests at his will, and made a trip to Rome and was reinstated by the Popagranda. He was getting things in good shape again when the bishop crdered him to Higginsville, Mo. Hines put the matier before the members of his church, who continued to stay by him, and they did not waut him to go end hedid not go, and Hogan again suspended him and brought suit in ejectment to get him out of the church property here, and also had him arresied for breaking the stile at the cemetery. Hines con.inues to hold services, and as the deed to Hogan to the church property here was made under the Drake consti- tution, the conveyance is void and the church propety belcngs to the imembers of the church. As they stay with Hines he will probably stay here as long as he wants to. He will pay no attention to the suspension, cla‘ming that Hogan has no wuthori- ty suspend a priest. He said to-day: “T have taken this fight upon my own shoulders for other priests as well as myself. ignorant of their rights. McGlynn was too weak.” Many of them are Father SOUTH DAKOTA DENOCRATS.

Missovri Stars Boarp oF AaricvL- TURE, Columbia, Mo., Sept. 4.—Full re- turns from the correspondents of the Board of Agriculture show that during the last week or two of Au- gust a drouth prevailed throughout the state. In the northeastern, cen- tral and eastern-central portions of the state but little rain fell during the month August, only occasional light local showers. Consequently pastures, late corn and other Jate growing crops, have suffered severe- ly, as will be apparent by examining the summary of returns by sections. The ground had become so dry and hard that plowing for wheat has, in great measure, been suspended un- til rain shall fall. Stock water is re- ported scare bysome of the corres- pondents. Throughout the entire western and southern part of the state there has been generally up to the last week in August, a sufficient amount of rain for all except thelatest crops and but little or no injury had yet resulted from the deficiency in rain. Corn. Notwithstanding tbe drouth which has seriously affected the corn crop, especially the late planting in portions of the state, the outlook is now promising for a good yield. Favorable conditions have prevailed in the sections of the state most largely devoted to this crop A large part of the early planting is suf- ficiently mature to be safe. But lit- tle complaint is made of chinch bugs or other insects affecting the corn. Potatoes. An excellent crop of early potatoes has beea secwed, but those planted are suffering from lack of rain. Sorghum and tobacco have im- proved in condition since the last report. Broom Corn is reported from ix- ty-five counties, and excepting in northeast 2nd central Missouri the condition is good. Fruits. The condition of the ap- ple crop is rot changed materially from what it was at the time of the last report. The gener- al crop will be light, but there scems to be a wide difference in the quali- ty and prcspective j.eld even in neighboriug orchards. The farmers of the west have the right metal. When the Twine Trust raised the price of twine they said. “All ight, we will do without your twine.” We would rather bind our wheat by hand than submit to tyranny.” They are as good as their word. They refused to buy and the result is that the Trust ‘is now trying to get rid of its stored up surplus at greatly reduced prices. This is a great victory for the wes- tern farmers. The inconveniences in going without the twine has prob- ably cost them more than the extra price asked for it, but they were working togother for a principal. And they won.—Grange County Farm.
