BUT few articles in household economics
have suffered greater decline during the
past year than sugar, it being nearly 20 per
cent. cheaper than it was year ago. Now
that the canning and preserving season are
upon us, or at least so near at hand, the
question naturally arises in the housekeep-
er's mind, will it continue at its present low
price? Since doubtful things are very
uncertain it is impossible to make any ac-
curate prediction on this point, but in
a recent issue of the Philadelphia Times
'"0 following occurs:
As Is well known, the most of the sugar
consumed in this country is cane sugar and
grown in the West Indies. The stocks of
raw sugars at the four ports of New York
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore on the
hrst OF May amounted to l04 7O5 tons, as
against Si225 tons at the same time last
year. Total stocks of raw and refined
sugars at the same ports on Nav I. 100. GIG
tons, rs against 87 7G9 tons last wear. being
an increase in the visible supply of 2OOO0
tons of raw and 22,000 tons of refined
sugars. This large increase i'm stocks nc
counts IN some measure for the marked de-
cline IN prices. Add TO this the fact that
etio supply VI ucGt ltot sugar IN EufODe IS
the greatest ever known, the crop last wear
having reached 2,30j00O tons, and the pres
ent low prices will be fully accounted for.
Bearing on the subject Of future prices to
a greater or less extent the present unset
tied condition of affairs in Cuba must be
taken into consideration. The largesu |
OF last year has netted the planters IA loss in
consequence of low prices If they could /
produce as extensively this year they
would hardly be disposed to do SO in view |
of the unsatisfactory condition of the mar /
ket With rebellion and disorder reigninp
IN many portions of the island, they could /
not grow as large a crop if they would. 1t |.
may be taken for granted, then that from |
this source the supply will be more or less
This loss might be easily made |
up, however, by importations Of European
sugar. if necessary, unless a light crop .
should be produced there, which /. hardly .
probable. Considering the big stocks on
hand and the increased area of the sugar
growing districts, it, is hardly likely that
any very marked advance will take place
for some time

In reference to the replevin suit
brought by Sheriff Riggs against the
Deputy County Attorney to gain poss-.
ession of the Guilliland revolvers, a
correspondent of the Courant grows
very indignant over the conduct of
the County Attorney in subpenaing
Fisher instead of Riggs. "Who could
most satisfactorily identify the revolt
vers" he asks, "the man who took
them from the parties or the man who
had simply heard that they were the
revolvers?" The former of course,
and therefore John Gordon was sub
pGnaed because he sWore he took
the rerolUers from the parties. IT'S a
Democrat competent to testify2"
Certainly. Gordon is a Democrat.
The facts are that Fisher was not sub
penaed to identify the revolvers,
but to identify clubs that he him self
picked up and to testify to the loca-
ton and nature of wounds that he
himself saw. As the replevin suit
above referred to was dismissed by Mr..
Riggs on Wednesday at his own cost
it would seem to be fair conclusion
that the county attorney and his dep
uty knew what they were doing.

The tedious trial of the Frosts for
the tearing down of Bakers fence,
which has occupied ten days In Justice
Harris court, was concluded last
Tuesday with a verdict of guilty
against Wesley Frost, and not guilty
as to the other two. Defendants at
torney made motion for new trial,
but it not allowed, and an appeal was
taken to the District court. The title
of the case in that court will Of course
be simply the State vs.. Wesley Frost.
The sentence passed upon Mr.. Frost
was 500 and costs, amounting in all to
near $500. He has given bond for the
amount, pending his trial in the dis
trict court. We understand that both
Lawrence and Wesley Frost have
again been arrested, to answer the
charge of burning Mr.. Bakers house.
This is q more serious offence, being
punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary. It is not too much to
say that the case just ended has been
one of the best contested legal fights
we have had for some time. Fisher
and Talcott for the prosecution, made
out very strong case from purely cir
cumstancial evidence, while the de.
tense was ably represented by A. c,
Boyle.
The attention of our readers is cal
led to the advertisement of the "Iola
Infirmary" which appears in this
weeks issue. DR.. L. Tozer is at the
head of the establishment and under
his skillful care there is little danger
of its not proving success. Although
a comparative stranger here, the Doc
tor brings with him numerous letters
from noted physicians in Illinois
recommending him as careful and
learned practitioner.
In the case of P. H. Harris, appealed
from Tioga Lodge to the Grand Lodge
K. of P, it was found that the charges
preferred against him by Tioga Lodge
were null and void and wele in fact no
charges, and rensanded the case for
new trial. Under the rulings of the
Grand Lodge, Tioga Lodge can do
nothing but dismiss the case. AS we
understand it Mr.. Harris has been
thoroughly vindicated from any wrong
in the matter.

THE w. c. T. U. MEETING.


Quite large number of ladies and
gentlemen-mostly ladies' were in at
tendance at the Baptist church last
Tuesday to observe the day of prayer.
The programme, as published last
week, was very creditably carried out,
making the meeting very interest
ing one. The morning hours were 90
cnpied by Mrs. Stevenson with an en-
tertaining paper on 1.-THE Leaders Of the
w. c. T. o. followed by addresses BY
Rev. r. NJ. Scott and DR.. w. d. Scott
on the subject of Christian Pastors
and Editors. These exercises were in
terspersed with music, and at their
conclusion those present turned their
attention to the discussion of q basket
dinner that had been prepared by the
ladies.
At half past one O'Clock the meeting
was again called to order by the presi-
dent, Mrs. DR.. Hendricks, and after
prayer by Rev. Webb, Mrs. Mounsir
read . short paper on "PlatfoIms Of
