Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin.
Jajr lIf , 189.1.
Tbe weather-crop bulletin issued
by the Missouri weather service for
the week ending May 18tb, raja:
In most sections of the state the
..Vrather during the past week has
'CxcaVery unfavorable to growing
crops. The mean temperature was
from 8 to 13 degrees beluvr the
norm al, and. frost was reported Jo
some portion of the state on every
day except the 15tb, very heavy
frosts occurring on the 12th and
14th. The greatest damage by frost
occurred In the eastern portion of
the state, from Knox and Lewis
counties southward to Stoddard
end Mississippi, and on bottom
lands tn portions of Clinton, De
lia! b. Gentry, Worth, Harrison,
Grundy, Potnam and Nodaway
counties. Many fields of com were
. cut to the ground: gardens and po
tatoes were ruined or seriously In
jured; and in some districts much
damage was done to wheat. Fruit
also suffered considerably in eome
counties, and marh damage was
done to melons. In other portions
olthe state the principal damage
was to tender regulation on bottom
land. Good rains fell in most coun
ties of the central and eastern sections
improring the conditions of wheat,
oats, grasses and gardens, but over
most of the western counties the
rainfall was lees than .50 inch, and
At the close -of the week rain was
fcadly needed. Chiocb-bugs bate con
"tinued to do great damage to wheat
in many counties, though in some lo
calities their ratnges have been
checked by the cool weather and
rain.. In a number of the southern
fad eastern counties much wheat has

' derabty short of an average crop;
Corn has made but little growth and
looks jellaw as a result of the low
temperature. Much replanting has
been necessary on account
o! frost and the ravage of
cut worms. No damage to
cotton is reported. In the eastern
aeetions grasses have improved, but
in most of th western counties
saeadows are short. Tree fruits are
till dropping badly and while, as a
rule,enough remains for a good crop,
1a some localities they have nearly
fallen off. It is feared the contln

Jack the Measurer.
London bad "Jack the Ripper,"
St. Loie, "Jack, the Ktoer," Brook
lyn, we believe It ff&J. l,Jack the
Clipper,' and now it has jast devel
oped that Salisbury. Mo., another
great city, has been made notorious
by the possession of "Jack the
Measurer," in the person of Robt.
Probst, jr., a youth 17 or 18 years
of age, and who Is one of the junior
proprietors', of Robt. Probit & Sons'
bakery and restaurant at Sails
nry.
It seems thatjrouog Probsf'in bis
cussed desire to see a little higher"
had been telling the misses who came
to the restaurant that a St. Louis
firm had offered four! pounds of
candy to the Salisbury girl who had
the largeet leg, and had appointed
him (Probst) to take the measure
ments. Among Probst's vJctlms waeilabsl
Wallace, a 12 year-old daughter of
Mrs. 8. L. Wallace, a wHow.
Mabel told her story ia the court
room before Actiog Mayor Tbomi'.s
on Thursday of last week, according
to the Salisbury Democrat, ae
IOI
lows:
On the Sunday previous Babel
said that she. in company wltb see
eral other little eirls. called at
Probst's place of business and par
chased 10 cts. worth of cakes which
she started out with, asking young
Probst to charge the cakes to her
brother, but this he refused to do.
took the cakes from Mabel acd put
them back into the show case. Ma
be! then took her departure and did
not tee young Probst again until
Monday night when be met her on
the street and told her to come up
to the restaurant the next day and
be would treat her to ica-cream.
On Tuesday afternoon." between 3
And 1 oMocklLa wenrinronrirrf-
tauranti where sbVsaw P'bbat and
was invited by him into the Ice
cream parlor where she was given a
disb of cream and cake. While ' eat-
ng thi. Probst told her a St. Louis
candy firm would give four pounds
of candy to the Salisbury girl who
had the biggest leg, and bad ap
pointed him to take the dimensions,
felling br all of the other girls were
trying for the prize and mentioned
the names ot a number of girls, one
ot whom, he said, was ahead so far.
Mabel finally consented for him to
take the measure ot her lower limb,
when he got a string and told her
hs would have to measure up to her
hip, when she objected, lie grabbed .
her and attempted to take the meas
urement by main force.. After
reporting what had happened a
warrant was sworn out and Probst
was arrested, and released on bond.
for his appearance for trial, on
Thursday. N
When the caw was called for trial,
Probst asked for a jury, which, after
hearing the testimony, could not
agree.but finally a t wo-thi rde verdict
was decided upon, reealtiafr la the
defendant's being flaed $1 and costs.
The testimony, we understand,
was very conflicting and it was 'tor
that reason, perhaps, that Probst
was not more sevsrely punished.
Among those Mabel Wallac said
Probst had told her whose lower ex
tremlties he had measured, was a
little daughter ot City Marshal Gil
christ ot Salisbury. The marshal.
alter making due inquiry - ot his
daughter, who h J ml t ted the truth
ot Probst' ftHtemerit. Mr. Gilchrist
went back up town and proceeded to
slug Probst in the most approved
st vie.
It is a pity that he was not also
submitted to a good cow-hiding by
the parents ot everyone of the girls
whom he had defiled.
Since the exposure ot his rascality
Probst has left Salisbury, and his
departure is doubtless considered a
good riddance.
It is said that you can now buy
tape lines In Palisbury at your own

Every inch ot tbe legal grounds in
the case will be hotly contested by
the opposing counsel, and the oat
come of the case will be looked Jor
ward to with intense interest by ev
ery lawabiding citizen of Chariton
eoonty.
We hope that tha scales of Justice
will be fairly balanced, and that
right may prevail in tbe end.
Tbe slogan at tbe trial should be:
"Let no guilty an escape, ariHet
no innocent manoe punished.'
Di&scaceful.
Word comes from Milan the the
liberties of the jail yard are allowed
the six Charitoo eoonty yonnci men
who are charged! with the diabolical
crime of rape, aad that they are also
allowed to go to tbe saloon to in

the ease, tbe eterifl or jailer cfe Sulli

to allow prisoners, who are oharged
with a crime for which tbe maximum
punishment ia the gallowa, such
liberties. It, fact, the allowance of
such privileges is disgraceful to the
officer who grants it, and such an
officer is a dangerous anemy to
society. '

of this country were rains so partial.
