bushel were a bushel anyhow you
lix it, and one bushel was us good
as another bushel, and a bushel of
corn as good to pay debts as a
bushel of wheat, being a bushel
anyway, and I guess all we farmer
folks is a going to pay that way.
It is the law. and we thinks, being
as we can raise corn cheaper nor
wheat, and corn is what our judge
called legal tender same as wheat,
we've a right to pay in it."
"Darn your new judge! I al-tion
given it. All of us went wild
over corn.''
"Then you will have to be cred-ited
with corn at corn value."
•■And I'll have to buy of you,
too?"
"You will, Ilezekiah, undoubt-edly."
"And it takes me a year to change
my crop and you can change your
prices in a night?"
"The pen is mightier than the
plow, Ilezekiah."
Then what good does the decree

o/ corn, worth fifty dollars after I
haul it to market, for one hundred
bushels of wheat, worth one hun-dred
dollars in good credit, because
a bushel is a bushel and the court
says so, do you? It is an outrage*
a cheat. Your new judge is a
fraud."
"It'B the law, Simon."
"Leave your old corn, lle/.ekiah,
until I see if it is the law. I don't
believe it."
"All right, neighbor; I'll come
tomorrow. 1 did want to lake

law all right—and powerful good
thing for the farmers, too, I'll get
the things tomorrow, Simon; an' I
don't say but I might be willing to
pay a little more, as corn's cheap.
So, mornin' to ye !"
Simon sent a man to the court,
got the decree and found it as
lle/.ekiah bad said. The judge had
decided Hat-footed that a bushel is
a bushel, and a bushel of com,
therefore, as good as a bushel ol
wheat. He saw clearly that he
would have to tako the one hun-dred
bushels of corn brought for
the one hundred bushels of wheat
he had always previously received
and had expected. It was absolute
ruin to him under the guise of law.

An Easy Way to Pay Debts—Lonely
Valley Tries It.
[There are many books going
into the mystery of our American
financial situation, but the farmer
ranlv reads them. Take the latest
and beat, Horace White's "Money
and Hanking," and while it covers
the whole ground thoroughly and
-imply to the student of finance,
much of it would be lost upon the
reader who had not some previous
knowledge of banks and banking,
I nited States treasury issues, the
'.mi! of exchange, parity, ratios
and international commerce. What
can be easily understood, and
wherein lies the heart of the whole
matter, is that no earthly power or
nment can make \ eipial 1—
one half ccjual a whole—and then
1 i- easy only when we can get
down to the primary principle of
credit and exchange and leave out
the secondary and obscuring action
of artificial mediums of exchange,
ir, in other words, government-al,
debt-paying money.
In the story of Lonely Valley, of
course, n heal represents gold ; corn,
the farmer, the agricultural
debtor cltss, and the merchant, the
nercantile creditor class; the
Ige, the I'nited States, whose
relied upon to make fifty
- worth of silver equal to one willing to pay a
hundred cents. |
Lonely Valley was inhabited by
a community of farmers. It lay
remote from railways and cities.
Wheat and corn were its staple
product*. These were sold at the
only warehouse in the valley, kept
by" one Simon Storekeeper. He
hauled the wheat and corn to the
distant railroad station, sold them,
and supplied the farmers with
cultural implements, seeds and
ral goods. Very little money
circulated,principally small change.
All the transactions between the
bouse and the farmers were
: on credit, and every season
the farmers around were more or
less in debt until their crops were
harvested. The credits were made
by ii ites something as follows:

1-". r many years this state of af-fair*
had continued. Hut early
one spring a sharp-faced, squint-eyed
man came into the neighbor-ed
was noticed to be very
mong the farmers, while he
led Simon's store, the general
place of sii'Uiering and gossip. He
complained of the high price of
wheat to pay debts, one dollar's
credit a bushel, and the difficulty
of raising it, and set forth the
great advantages as a debt-payer
f the low price of corn, fifty cents'
worth of credit a bushel, and its
easy cultivation. He at last per-suaded
the farmers that he could
get a friend, a member of his SO-CK
ty. or party, as he called it, to
run for judge of the County Court,
and. once in office, give a decision
which would lawfully pay off all
debts at half price, while it doubled
the value of every farm in Lonely
Valley. They had only to plant
corn, and plenty of it, and very lit-tle
wheat, and vote for his man for
in witness a sudden pros-perity
beyond their wildest dreams.
The farmers believed his plausi-ble
arguments. The corn was

The judge's lirst decision was on
il hearing and tll'ect of one

As soon as he heard of it He/.e-kiah
Haycrop posted off to pay hie
note, chuckling all the way. He
hitched his horse in front of Si-mon's
door and unloaded one hun-dred
bushels of corn. He found
None at all. You have simply

"I don't know what to think of
this thing. I won't dicker today,
anyway."
'•Better dicker while you can.

will be rushing it all in; tomorrow

may go down "
"Go down!"
"Certainly. If I get more than
I can use, I am not going to credit
you, or any one else, with present
prices for it. It will go down, or
the prices of goods will go up. jusi

"I'll take the goods, Simon.

can tell ye."
"I don't know. How are you
paying him, corn or wheat?"
"(Urn. of course. Y'ou see corn's
cheap—"
Ilezekiah stopped; something
seemed to dawn upon him. He
never said "cheaper," for the look
he saw on Simon's face. He was
a deceived, but at bottom an honest
man. and took in the situation.
After a pause he stepped up to Si-mon
anil held out his hand:
"Old fellow, let's see if we can't
deal on the square again. I don't
like these new ways anyhow you
fix 'em. And if you'll help me

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
corn's cheap," of his friend Heze-kiah
kept ringing in his ears.
Perhaps, after all, it might not be
so bad—might not be absolute ruin.
He stared at the books and medi-tated.
He began to calculate.
Then he began to figure on Heze-kiah's
bill. His face cleared. Yes,
it might not be so bad. It is a
poor rule, he thought, that will not
work both ways.
He called his clerk, he called his
porter; he took a pen and went t"
marking mysterious figures on his
goods. The three of them did the
hardest night's work they had ever
done in tl.eir lives. Hut il had to
be done that night, for, as Simon
said, "All the farmers in Lonely
Valley would be down on him next
day."
Most of them were, but He/.ekiah
was the lirst, and was greeted cheer-fully
as by a man making the best
of the situation.
"I have seen the law. It is as
you say. Here's your note, neigh-bor;
the corn 1 have stored away.
While I still think the decree alt
outrage I will have to submit to it."
"That's so, that's so. We far-mers
only want what the law gives
us, you know. Law is law.
that's all right—glad you have ni
hard feelin's, Simon."
"We'll let that pass, Ilezekiah.
Y'on have your note and I have the
corn—so far that is settled. Can
I do anything more for you?"
"Well, yes. I want a few things
now. I've paid my note. I've got
a list somewhere, mighty big sum,
too. Mounts to about a hundred
dollars' worth of credit, but
little more, as ! I11'}' »H I'le costs if we get brought
up. When the farmers get a chance
at that judge I guess he will either
have to reverse his decree or leave."
Ilezekiah stayed at the ware-house
all thai day. He talked with
the farmers as they came in. The
result was that Lonely Valley went
back to its old ways of honest
credit honestly canceled.
The squint-eyed man was never
seen, fortunately for him, in Lone-ly
Valley again. His party, as he
called it, meaning those who be-lieved
that because the judge said
a bushel was a bushel anyhow, one
hundred bushels of com were equal
to one hundred bushels of wheat,
went to pieces like a loose pack of
curds at the next election, and the

A GIFr TO THE UNIVERSIY.
Hundreds of People Either
Killed or Drowned.
ST. LoOIB, Mo., May 27.—A tornado,
blowing at the rale of HU miles an
hour, struck St. Louis at 5.15 this eve-ning,
and raged lor half an hour with
great fury, and as a result hundreds of
lives are lost on both sides ol the river.
Many buildings were blown down, and
several river steamers sank with all on
board.
At present it is impossible to state
the number of lives lost. The hospi-tals
are full of injured, and the morgue
contains many dead, while numliers
lay everywhere among the ruins of
demolished buildings. A portion of
Kast End bridge was destroyed. The
grandstand at the fair grounds, and the
woman's portion of the jail were blown
down. Water- Si Pierce Oil Works
are burning, and buildings in various
sections of the town are on tire. The
I'lant Hour mills and St. I<ouis Iron
and Steel Works were demolished, and
the immense Cupples block partially
destroyed.
The dead and injured are being ta-ken
from the ruins. At East St. Louis
the loss was greatest. H. C. Rice, the
western manager at the Relay depot
on the East Side climbed across the
demolished bridge and reported that
the National Hotel, Tremont House.
Martell House, IX-Wolfe Cafe. Hazel
Milling Co.'s mill, and a great number
of dwellings east of there were gone,
and many people killed. The B. .v 0.
and Vandalia round house, Standard
Oil Works, East St. l.ouis and Crescent
elevators, and twelve freight houses on
the levee were demolished.
The Republic and several more ex-cursion
steamers, with all on board,
are reported lost, and all the steamers
on the levee have gone down. A rough
estimate would place the uumlxr ol
killed and wounded at one thousand.
Both the Western Union and Postal
companies lost every wire out of the
city.
Louisville, Ky.. May 27.—A tele-graph
operator at I'arondale.foiir miles
south of St. Louis, says: "A railroad
man just walked out from St Louis re-ports
the town almost completely
wrecked, and reports hundreds of lives
lost, street cars slopped, lights all out
and everything in great confusion. He
says several city buildings, including
the hospital, are wrecked; I lie streets
are almost impassable from debris and
great volumes of water.''
Kansas City, Mo., May 27.—Ten peo-ple
were killed in a tornado which
struck the village of Labaddie. Frank-lin
county, this evening and the town
of Beniek, ten miles from Molierly. in
Randolph county, was completely
wiped out. Nothing definite from
either place.

The train had scarcely proceeded 2011

about the same instant the wind struck

saw at once that he knew nothing
of the recent decision.

"Right peart, thank'ee. 1 want
to pay that note—got the truck
outside in the wagon."
•All right; unload, while I get
the note." lle/.ekiah had all he
could do to keep from laughing as
he to'.ed in his hundred bushels of
corn.
He sat down and waited for Si-mon,
wiio soon cume in with the
v note in his hand
•Hello, Ilezekiah! he exclaimed
• i JJ u I\iiinit

when he saw the bags of corn. "I
thought you were going to pay the
whole Hole. Want to pay half, ell,
and renew the balance? All right.
VIM and I have traded considera-ble,
and I can accommodate you."
lle/.ekiah began to feel a trille
badly, and he spoke with a little
hesitation.
•Well, you see, Simon, our new
judge, he "had one of these notes
brought up yesterday—maybe you
get scared, Simon, I'm richer nor I
was, now my corn crop's come in.
If you will get the goods for me to
take back on my wagon, I'll pay.
Simon, I'll pay."
"Just as you please, lle/.ekiah :
the goods are here. How'll you
pay—corn or wheat?"
"Corn, Simon, corn. All our
folks are going to pay in corn.
Splendid crop, more than we can
get in our cribs; been putting il
up in the barns."
"All you folks going to pay in
corn? I thought so. Then the
goods on your list will cost you
just two hundred dollars credit in
corn. .lust two hundred bushels.
Ilezekiah, and your friends can
pay on the same terms."
••Why, why, why, Simon, I figur-ed
on my list and it didn't come to
over a hundred dollars of credit.
You look at it."
"I am looking at it, but I'm not
going by it. I am selling by my
own list, not yours, and since yes-terday
all my goods have been
marked up to corn value—just
double—and you will have to pay
it in corn if you want to purchase."
"But, Simon, this is a cheat, a
fraud."
".lust what I said about the note."
"But I won't buy."
"So 1 wouldn't take your corn."
"But the law don't compel me to]
buy of you. I'll go somewhere else."
"You can't; there's nobody in
the country to go to but me."
"Then I'll go across the big pond
or over the North river."
"You'll have to pay in wheat-one
hundred bushels for one hun-dred
dollars credit—and you
haven't the wheat, and soon won't
have the credit. Besides, you will
have to pay for bringing the goods

CnAiEL Hn.i., May 27.—Mrs.
Frederick Baker, of New York, has
given $::,000 to equip Commons
Hall, at the University, and to
provide board at cost for students.
The hall will be opened next Sep-tember
with accommodations for

President Winston says that
Commons Hall will have western

TOBACCO MEN PROTEST.
Estimated that Five Hundred
People Were Killed.
Si. I.OI is. Mo.. May 28.—The awful

to-day by a devastated district in
the southwestern jiortion of the city, a

St. Louis is dazed by the extent of

the total loss of life and the
amount of property destroyed will be

The estimates of the numlier killed
vary from 200 to 500 with the belief
general that the latter figure is the
nearer correct.
The property loss is terrific, esti
mates ranging from * 10,000.000 to *:«!.-
000,000. The wind seemed to lake the
form of a tornado rather than that of a
cyclone, the wrecked buildings show-ing
none of the twisted irons and gir-ders
which usually mark the trail of a
rotary wind storm. The general trend
was from southwest to northeast,
through the center of the business dis-trict
of the city to about a mile north
of the city. The first heavy damage
was in the vicinity of I-ower drove
and Lafayette Parks, where handsome
residences were wrecked and many
persons injured. The tornado swept
from the northeast as far as the river
when, with a sudden turn to the north
it cleared the Mississippi and lore its
way into the heart of East St. Louis.
In addition to the killed and injured
in St. I-ouis and East St. Louis, the
cvclone mowed down many people in
other places. Dispatches received by

Object to Export of the Weed from
Cuba at This Time.
HAVANA, May 27.—A committee,
representing the tobacco manufac-turers
of Cuba, have called upon
General Weyler to protest against
the suspension of the operation of
his proclamation forbidding the
exportation of tobacco. They rep-resented
to him that to permit the
exportation of tobacco now would
cause the closing of factories on
the island and widespread distress
among the operatives. General
Weyler expressed his sympathy and
promised to telegraph to the home
government the nature of their
representations.
General Arolas was reported to
have retired from the command of
the trocha on account of sickness.
It is now reported that he has re-signed

abandoned, because the South did
not respond in accordance with the
terms of agreement entered into at
Chicago—that nine States should
be represented. South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama would have
been ready in tune—Maryland ap
plied for space. The Southern

other roads had nls. applied for

cured exhibits from half a dozen
more Stales, but this would not
have been a compliance with the
agreement. The depressed condi-tion
of business rendered it impos
eible to secure favorable action in
the Virginias, North Carolina.
Florida, Mississippi and other
States.
The advisory board of the South
ern Slates Exposition Company
met in Augusta this morning an
declared the proposed exposition
