SERIES, LITTLE WHEAT IN SOCIETY PRESS ASSOCIATION Wm. Phillips recently found 775 relics in Boone township, says the Union Tribune. There were 150 very minute points, ranking in size up to several inches in length. There are also several curious implements in the collection. All of these he has picked up since the overflow of the Burbois this spring.

Among Mr. Phillip's finds is a copper coin or medal that he found where a house had been burned on the bluff of the river a little above where the new Champion City iron bridge now spans the river. One side is decorated with three heads in bold relief with "Gray, Russell and Brougham" circled over them, and the inscription, "The friends of the People," underneath. On the reverse of the medal is inscribed to "The Great Reform Bullwark of into law, June 4, 1832." Very likely the burned house had been the residence of an English immigrant.

CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR "We sell more of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy than of all others combined," write Messrs. Kerr Sons, druggists, of Mars, Pa. They also say: "The sale of it is something phenomenal, We have sold two gross this winter, selling as high as six bottles in one morning to as many different customers. This remedy has proved particularly successful in croupy affoctions. Our customers invaribly pronounce it the best they can find, and we know of no case where it has failed to give satisfaction." Eor sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by druggists.

LEFT THE ACADEMY Prof. Allen, until recently head of the Labadie academy, has been chosen as principal of the Sullivan publie school for the coming year, Mrs. Allen being the third assistant. The other teachers chosen are Mrs. A.

R. Jones and Miss Grace Martin. It is not known what will become of the Labadie academy, but private high schools do not seem to be "lucky" in Franklin county. BEAUTIFUL SOUVENIR The California Dispatch issued a sixteen page illustrated pamphlet, describing the California public schools and their commencement exercises. It speaks well for the Dispatch, but it didn't bear the burden alone and be "cussed" besides.

The pamphlet contains at least $100 worth of advertising. MILLINERY REDUCTION From Gray's Summit to Washington wheat looks exceedingly poor, The Washington Journal says of it: "In some places wheat three and four inches high is shooting in ears, and fields can be seen where there is not a spot in the field that has wheat over two feet high. The harvesting of this short wheat will be extremely difficult and at some places impossible, as the machinery is all built for long and heavy grain. In fields where the stand is so uneven a constant changing of the levers of the binders will be necessary, generally causing a wasting of grain, and then the twine will be tied eight to ten inches from the top of bundles. The bundles so tied will lose all the short grain and then a great amount of grain will be left in the stubble fields." Around about Pacific, east and south, wheat is some better, yet 8 meagre crop is expected.

The stricken belt includes only the Missouri river counties and al strip through Illinois and Indiana. Elsewhere wheat is pronounced good. The general crop will not full far short of normal, but it will around here. PROFIT IN BERRIES Anent the question of diversified farming, it is being proven that strawberries will yield bountifully and pay well in this locality. For example, the Steelville Mirror says: "Whitcomb Son, two miles east of Bourbon on the Springfield road, set out last year one and one-half acres of strawberries.

They are now employing twenty pickers a day and are shipping the berries to St. Louis. They have set out about five acres more this spring." The Sullivan Sentinel remarks: "Mr. Whitcomb, living five miles west of Sullivan, has demonstrated the fact that this country is adapted to strawberry culture. He has only one acre in bearing this year, and is giving ten pickers ample THE FAKE HEALER Schrader, the self- styled "divine healer," whose knowledge of scripture is such that he says Paul was a constant companion and manager of Jesus while he was on earth, passed though Pacific last week.

At Washington he stopped off, rolled his bicycle up the hill, stopped for a few minutes and then rode off. He went on to Clayton and tried his work there, being in partnership with the Lindell street railway company. The attendance was not satisfactory, the healer is said to have insulted a woman, and hearing that the young Clayton boys intended giving him a free hair cut, Sebroeder mounted his wheel and rode off, He said lie was going to Jefferson City. WAYLAID AT SULLIVAN One night last week Wm. Steele and Elsie Calvin waylaid Ed.

Bolton west of Sullivan and beat him just shamefully. They were arrested, but trying to escape, Steele was shot in the neck by the marshal. They were afterward lodged in the jail at Union. THE FESTIVAL The ice cream and strawberry festival given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church at Thomas Bacon's old stand on St. Louis street on Saturday evening last was liberally patronized.

Nearly $20 were cleared for the church. COMEDY GALORE A company of six is in the tree entertainments nightly on the lot, corner First and St. Louis streets, and selling a medicated soap. They expect to remain through next week. The following call has been issued In accordance with a request of a majority of its members, a meeting of the Franklin county Press Associis hereby called to convene at Pacific on Friday, June 18th, prox.

H. CALKINS, Pres. FRED MASTERSON, Secy. It is presumed President Calkins will arrange a program of papers on newspaper matters. The TRANSCRIPT will arrange for a public meeting at Leber's hall, in the evening, and see that music is provided.

This, with the papers, will make an interesting program, and it is to be hoped there will be a good attendance, as it will be free to all, and enable the Pacifies public to become acquainted with some of the handsomest men unchained. WIERD STORY One of the most wierdly fascinating stories the writer has read for some time is "The War of the Worlds," now appearing in the Cosmopolitan. As a work of the imagination it is superb. The historical novel, "The Turkish Messiah," which is completed in the June number, is very good. "The Secret History of the GarfieldConkling Tragedy" and "Moonshining in Georgia" are other interesting special features of the June number, while papers on poultry farming and modern Constantinople are timely.

Cosmopolitan, Irvington, N. $1 a year, 10 cents a number. IMPROVEMENTS Dr. F. C.

Robinson is preparing to build a residence on his lot in the northern part of the city. The doetor realizes that this is just the time to build. David Schaeffner is building a neat brick addition to his residence near Union station. Thomas Bacon has built a handsome pagoda over his well. TO OBSERVE CHILDREN'S DAY The Presbyterian Sunday school will observe children's day, Sunday evening, June 20th, with an entertainment.

This is a postponement from the date formerly announced. On Sunday evening, June 13th, an entertainment will be given by the Methodist Sunday school at the church in honor of children's day. MEMORIAL CELEBRATION Frederick Hecker post No, 290 G. A. R.

TEACHERS SELECTED The school board met Tuesday and re-employed the same teachers who We purchased an enormous stock of millinery goods in the spring and have been adding to it every week or ten days since, consequently our stock is immense.

T. BACON. RAZORS STOLEN Tuesday afternoon while Eddie Schuermann, the barber of New Haven, says the Leader, was viewing the funeral procession, a tramp entered his shop and took two of his best razors; he also took 11 r'azor out of J. Nortmann's restaurant. One of Schuarmann's razors and the one stolen from Nortmann were found secreted in an outbuilding behind the shop shortly after they were missed.

The supposed thief was caught and searched, but nothing could be found on his person, and he was given a few minutes to leave town, which he gladIly accepted. CITY COUNCIL The city council met in regular session Tuesday evening, and in addition to transacting routine business, considered several new laws, which will doubtless be passed later on. MAY END THE WAR. The Spanish cabinet has resigned and may be succeeded by liberals. It may mean an end of the Cuban war, as the liberals apparantly favor granting independence to the island.
