Chicago wheat receipts are five times and rye eight times as heavy aa those of last year. Ifa few more “bold your wheat” circulars are is- sued, the world’s fair city will be buried under an avalanche of grain. Tariff Bill McKinley's pet has been given an extended show but accord- ing to Dun’s reliable report, wool is three per cent below those of last year. No wonder the major is say- ing nothing in Ohio about the tariff. Germany as well as France has its famous woman artist. Vilmar Pari- aghy, one of the distinguished por- trait painters of Germany, is a wo- man. For seme time before his death she was engaged in painting Count Moltke in full regimentals. The campaign in Obio is warming up. Hon. Roger Q. Mills is dealing some sledgehammer blows for de- mocracy and Campbell. McKinley is trying to dodge the tariff issue, but is being held to the line. Free sil- ver is all right in its place, but Me- Kinley must stand or fall on his own issue marked out plainly in the last congress. The farmers in even protected Ohio have begun to see the fallacy of protection to the few and oppression to the many. They have at last realized that a tanff is a tax. and if it is collected some one must pay it. It isnot the importer for he adds it on to the goods and makes the consumer pay the}tax. How many farmers in Ohio,would be willing to stand a direct tax on their assessed valuation to support the men who are engaged in manu- facturing? We opine there would be some tall kicking in that event, and yet they as surely pay the tax as if it was directly levied and col- lected. McKinley will find that the Campbells are coming and their name is legion. i, Mrs. Groyer Cleveland has pre- sented her illustrious husband with a fine eight pound girl baby, and there is great rejoicing in the Cleve- land household. The papers all over the country are prophesying and surirising the influence this event will wield in the next presi- dential campaign. This of course, viewed from a practical stand, is the very height of folly. If Mr. Cleve- land is the proper personage for the democratic party to choose for its standard bearer the fact that his wife did or did not have a baby, cuts no figure in the case. The sentiment- al gush of republican newspapers lauding the babyish pranks of Baby McKee has become exceedingly nau- seating to the practical American wind, where we do not have princes to the manor born, but where every man and woman, no matter how high or humble of birth must work out his or her own destiny. The people will rejoice with Mr. and Mrs. Cleve- land overthe birth of an heir, but that itis tobe made a campaign doc- ument is very silly enn The Kansas City Star says: The Olden fruit farms near West Plains bas 800 acres of various fruits. This year the company sold 25,000 bush- els of peaches at fifty cents a bush- el in the field, besides putting up 124,000 caus, They still have about 5,000 bushels to sell and several | thousand quarts to can. They have also put up 25,000 cans of blackber- ries and raspberries, evaporated 3,- 000 pounds of berries and shipped 500 crates and several hundred bush els of pears. Ten thousand bush e's is the estimate o crop. Clearing, breaking, planting and cultivating an acre of peaches for three years cost them $20 an acre, and the third year the acre yielded $100 worth of fr One orchard of five year old trees, 160 to the acre, yielded 320 bushels of peaches worth $160 on the tree. their apple it. Miss Daisy, a newspaper woman of Guthrie, I. T., was thrown from her horse in the mad race for lots at Chandler yesterday and badly jburt. Miss Daisy deserves no syme- pathy for her mishap for she had no business among the horde who were carried away by the rush for gain. The fact is that the cheeky news- paper woman of to-day, who upon newspaper workers have earned dis- purpose in unsexing herself and usurping the place which common sense weuld teach did not belong to her and should her experience teach a lesson to others who are offensive- ly inclined to seek notoriety rather than faime, it will be 2 gain.—Sedalia Bazov. In the penitentiary at Stillwater is published a weekly paper called the Prison Mirror edited and pub- lished by the inmates of the prison. The following is clipped from its columns and the feeiing and pathos in it show plainly that in the felon that wrote it, whatever his crime might have Leen, there is still the voice of a man: “A the shades of night close out the day, there comes floating through the prison hulls the melodeous sounds of distant bells. How sweet, how sad the gen- tle tones to the imprisoned sinner, nove but he can tell. There we voices from another world he dearly loves—the world of his innocent childhood. Alone in his narrow cell he sits in eventual silence as the spirit bells repeat the hallowed stories of the loug dead days that are far dearer to him than any that genius ever tell for the pleasure of mav. As the sweet tones die away a mellowness steals into his heart, and no matter what he may have been he is now a good gentle being. He is nolonger a felon. Perhaps he is once more a child trudging along by his mother’s side through the evening twilight to the village church. Whatever the recollections revived they are pure and good, and from which he will turn with a regretfui sigh. Oh, but could the heart be held forever by the spell of the bel’s, swect church bells.” All About a Dog. Windsor, Mo., Oct. 2.—This morte ing aboul 7 o'clock a fatal affray oc- curred at the home of J. W. Good all, a colored man living about two miles north of this place. John El- der, an engineer, was there for the purpose of doing some threshing for the negro. Elder was oiling the machine, when a dog of King Good- all's came bothering around Elder kicked the dog and King took the matter up. He cursed Elder, who hit him in the face with aspade. Old Goodall then rushed in with a rail and John, a brother to King, with a pitchfork. Elder knocked King down with the spade, and upou ris- ing King threw an eight-pound chunk of coal at Elder, striking him on the side of the head. Elder was knocked senseless. Friends took him home, and from late reports it will be impossible for him to long survive. King came to town and} bought a ticket for Sedalia, but jumped on a south-bound freight and left the town. Marshal Geo. Hayden to-night arrested Jobn Goodall, but probably from fear of violence did not bring himin. Elder ous and of good character. He lived s shot the difficulty Goodall wi acquitted.
