They did not seom to want him at all. So bad stories got out about him. One day | the people of his state heard that he had been in the White House shak- ing bands with the wife ofa cabinet} officer. So they called the legisla- | ture together and sentenced him to! the United States Senate for a term of six years. And people used to point to his wife and say, ‘her hus band is in the United States senate.’ So the poor man went and got down on his knees before the President and confessed allto him. He sent) him to the court of St. James, and his wife had to cut the bosom and! back out of her dress, and cut the sleeves off and go im and see the} queen.

Crops look well, in spite of so much raia. “Casa isnota very large wheat growing county, but what there is looks splendid. Our fars i chiefly on corn, and they have fc | it to ba the most reliable crop after | all. The war bas caus«d a sherp ad-| vance in the price of stock, and the} scarcity of wheat kaa made it quite a profitable crop. In fact the farm- ers in the western part of the state have more reason to be satisfied now and takea hopeful outlook for the future than they have had since the close of the Civil war.” The eame information comes from many sections of the state. Along the Missouri River Valley there will ba an immense crop of wheat har- vested unless some unforseen calam ity should destroy it. The wet sea- son has delayed corn planting con- siderably, but still the advance in prices has stimulated the farmers to make greater efforts than ever to plant big crops. There will be very little idle farming land anywhere in Missouri this year, and the demand for farm labor will be much greater than it ever was before. This year the Missouri farmers are planting with the assurance of receiving profitable prices for their commodities in the fall and early winter, and all of them are endeav oring to put in larger crops than before. An effort is also being made to raise more stock, as this industry bids fair to be one of much profit in the future. Few of the Missouri farmers are talking of selling their farms and moying to town or else- where, while the great majority of them are looking ahead to a day when they can purchase more land It is also noted that there is very little good real estate on the market that would be suitable for farming, and it is expected that farms will soon increase greatly in value in proportion to their earniag capacity. And fruit raising bas not been neglected. Last year’s fruit crop in this etate was worth more than twice the value of the wheat crop, valued at $1 a bus and this year’ crop promises to be much larger and more valuable. The price of canned fruits has been very low for several years, but lately the government has discoyered the value of such pro- |ducts for army rations and large quantities are now being purchased and prices have commenced travel- jing skyward. If the war continues | jit is anticipated that fruit of all kinds will advance and keep pace ;with farm products and all other} commodities. { Rich Man Deserted and Starves. 2.—Loaded j with wealth, but deserted and starv- | jing, John Rochel, once a well known manufacturer in Sioux City, perish- | led last Aprilon the trail between | |Dawson City and Dyea, Alaska. | | The news of his death reached here | |in a letter to bis widow, written by | | Richard Hendrickson, from Saattle, | 8 | | | | i | Sioux City, Ia.
