Columbia, Mo., August 14—The Miesouri board cf agriculture bas just issued an annual statement which revea's the wonderful agricul- tural and industrial wealth and boundless reaources of the state. It contains carefully composed figures and estimates obtained from corres- pondents in all parts of the state and is doubtlees as nearly accurate asany statement of the kind that could possibly be secured. The report says in part: “We produced in 1896, 200 million bush- els of corn, 13 million bushels of wheat, 22 million bushels of oate, 34 million tons of hay, 14 million pounds of cotton, 7 million pounds of tobacco. The estimated annual value of our fruit crop ie: Apples 10 million dollars, strawberries 4 million dollars, grapes 1 million dol- fare, and raspberries, blackberries, peaches, plums and otker fruits 1 willion dollars, or a total of 124 millions. The dairy business of this state, exclusive of the investments of farmers and their products and in- cluding the creameries and dairies that have made report to this office. requires for its support the product of 132,000 acres of land valued at 4 million doltars, has $300,000 invest in dairy buildinge, owns 30,000 cows valued at $300,000 and annually pro duces for market 2 mi'lion pounds of butter, 600,000 pounds cf cheese ‘and 10 million gallons of milk, or a total investment of over 5 million dollars, making a gross annual return in dairy products of 14 million dol- lars. “A review of the agricultural con- ditions and the productions of Mis- ‘gouri indicates the unlimited possi- \bilities of the state. She has an urea of 44 million acres, the largest iron mountain in the world, twenty counties with an unlimited supply of iron, 23,000 square miles of coal area and an annual output of 3 mil- lion tons, lead mines operated in twenty-six different counties and the most productive single mine in America avd a total annual produc- tion of 61,000 tons of pig lead.

GEN. LONGSTREET TO WED. Bride Will Be Miss Elien Dortch, Assistant Librarian of Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18 —Roputable indications point to the seeming fact that General James G. Longstreet, the veteran of the Indian, Mexicsn and civil ware, has at last fallen cap tive to the glances of a beautiful Georgia maiden and has laid his heart at her fect in entire and cam plete submission Tho fortunate one so dame rumor his it, is Miss Ellea Dortch Mis; Dortch in tha cary part of the summer, took Bay Cottage at Lithia Spriegs, a very prominent and popular reeort, about twenty miles from this place. Very shortly after General Longstreet put in an ap- pearance end from that time until the present the ecuple have been in- separable. Tha general is 76 years of age but hale and hearty He looks 25 years younger and carries himeelf with splendid militery beering, Miss Dortch is 22, intel jestual and very pretty. She is now aesistant state librarian. Her influ ence with the public men and politi- cians of the state may be imagined when it ia stated that at her insti gation a law was framed giving to women the right to hold the office of state hbrariar, and without a dis- senting voice pass3d both houses of the legielaturs. Miss Dortch is now a candidate for the +i uation of Col John Millege, state librarian, under the new measure and all pcints seem to be ia her favor. General Longs reet is the most popular ex confederate officer in the world to day. His love affair seems to have renewed his youth. Gov. Stephens Visits Nevada. Nevada, Mo., Aug. 16 —Governor Stephens arrived here early Sunday morning and spent the entire day in Nevada. Many of the citizens called upon bim. He had just come from the big camp meeting at Rocheport, in Boone county, where he avd his aleo leads in zinc products and with an annual output of 131,000 tons. She has extensive quarries of red and gray granite, red, gray, cream colored and mottled marble, onyx, limestone and sandstone. She has the largest stock feeding farm, pro- ducing its own grain, the largest orchard and largest jack breeding and importing establishment in the world. Among breeds of live stock her improved hoge, cattle, sheep, horses and mules are winners in comparison with the best animals in the world and are largely drawn upon by the breeding harems of other estates and countries. Mis souri need make no other claim to grandeur than a fair presentation of her unrivaled resources.” What Bimetallists Intend. John Clark Ridpath, L. L. D , in the August Arena.

It will cost more to live in wedded bliss after September 1 than it does now, that is if the newly wedded people keep house, says the Kansas City Star. Crockery, cut glass and |china are cheaper now than they will | be because the new tariff will’ soon cause a general iocrease in prices. Indeed, the association of wholesale dealers has already decided to ad- vence prices at once. “This set of Haviland china, for instance,” remarked the dealer this morning, “you can buy for $50. It isn’t fine, to be sure, but when the increase is made it will cost you $60. All the goods tbat are coming in now from the whclesslers will be charged for at advanced prices, and of course we dealers must s2!] them at an increase. The advance. generally, will ke from 17 to 20 per cant. On white ware, the duty has been increased from 30 to 55 per c2nt and on deco- rated china from 35 to 60 per cent, which is, approximately, an advance of 80 per cent on the former tariff. The importer and the wholesale dealer must invest more capital for the same article, he will want a little profit on the extra investment and the result will be that the cost of the goods to the buyer will be in- creased a mite more in comparison j than the per cent of advanca in the tariff shows. As this is the dull sea- sou, I think few retail dealers will advance prices until at September 1. BROWN ALUMNI AROUSED. Insist on An Explanation of President An- drew's Resignation. Providence. R.
