The Saddle Horns, For a number of years Missouri how owned the champion subile otallions of the world, and the prom. pence she has attained In breeding these equine beauties warrants the asurance of an extraordinary ex hibition of fine animals, ansurpanted, in excellence, at the Missouri State: Fair at Sedalia, September 18. The exhibition is certain to be most creditable to the horse-breed ing industry of the State. The most liberal premiums are offered in the saddle ring $100 alone being hung up for champion saddle horse and $60 for second prize. There will also be a grand exhibi tion of roadsters and carriage horses a class of animals in which Missouri also excelle and for which liberal premiums are offered. The horse show will certainly be one of the great features of the Missouri State Fair and the saddle ring will be one of the chief points of attraction. The World's Survey of the Crops, New York World: The survey of the corn and wheat crops made in the Monday World, based on tele graphic reports from World corres pondents at 300 points in the corn and wheat bell, forecasts a reduction in the corn crop of about 100,000, 000 backels as compared with last year. To offset this bus The World's special reports indicate a larger wheat crop than has been hitherto estimated. Higher prices for both corn and wheat, due to an unprece dented European demand, will go far to compensate our farmers for the damage done by the long drought. Oe Taking the average of the past five years, the yearly value of our three great grain crops is as follows: Corn, $585,000,000; wheat $600,000, 000; onta, $170,000,000. In round figures the average yearly value of all our cereal crops, including rye, barley and buckwheat, is approxi mately $1,285,000,000, of which total about one-fourth, or $200,000,000 worth is exported. As the price abroad fixes the price at home, the American farmer is not necessarily the gainer by extra large nor the loser by extra small crops. The duation in value depends much more upon whether the grain har vest in other countries is large or swan than it does upan the number of bushels he gathers. Lhat year's core crop was worth to our farmers over $751,000,000, though it was 78,000,000 bushels less than the corn crop of 1890, which sold for §260,000,000 less. Last year's wheat crop netted American farmers §325, 000,000, but the crop of 1807, thought was 50,000,000 bushels leas, put $106,000,000 more into their pockets. Hence with Europe calling louder every day for American corn and wheat it is very doubful whether the great drought will bring the total market value of this country’s crops below a normal average. But if the export pring goes so high as to more than offset the damage done by the drought American consumers will have to pay t equally with the people of Europe. Manuce Hi, Mo., August 1, 1901.

Yet history repeate, Paragonid Soliphone: Instead of observing Gov. Dockery’s injunc tion to fast and pray, that the good Lord might send the raing to deluge the earth and avert the disasters of the dreath, the Bertig crap shooters and their blindliger annex were busy all day violating the laws of God and man, gambling, drinking and fighting. Steve Virgilio says they fought “sit over the deck on the Missouri side and that Spooney’ (Andrew Payne) was considerably bruised up, and that there were bloody noses and black eyes galore. Last night, at a late hone, the large frame building, which stood on the bulke of the St. Francia river, on the Missouri side, went up in smoke and blind-tiger “licker,’’ crap and poker tables and all the parapher oulia of this infamous den of iniquity was consumed by the flames. It comes on good authority that in some of the Missouri towns where they prayed loudest for rain last Sunday it is 60 dry now that people are tacking the stumps on the let ters, for lack of ability to lick them, —Cairo Bulletin. Both statements are founded in iniquity and championed by the devil or some of the imps.

The woods sod the towns are full of bears to hear the foli# tell it. Some time ago it was circulated here that a saloon keeper at Caruthersville had just a young bear, and that the same had been seen about Sikeston.

Some enthusiast he sent a“akvery’ report to the Re public, and one south side gentle man emptied a repeating shotgun through hie back window—glose and all—into an old black stump that he detood there for forty years.
