stupidity characteristic of my sex l was
obliged to ask what lie. "Why, they
are always saying in the papers that it is
not necessary to do anything to keep
moths out of furs, but to wrap the furs In
cotton cloths or in papers; that the moths
will not go through those fabrics to get
to their native diet of Russian sable

bondsmen. The capital stock of the bank is
$1O0, 900 and the deposits nearly $500, 600.

Riotine Over Oklahoma Lots.

The soldiers were called out few days ago
for the first time since the opening OF Okla.
hona, and for several hours the city OF
Guthrie was partially under martial law;
One of the best lots in Guthrie was awarded
by the Board of Arbitration to a man
named Driscon, Of Chicago. An old man by
the name of Diemer, Of Kansas, occupied the
front of the same lot with tent. Driscou
erected a building on rollers, ready to move
it to the front as soon as Diemer should va
cate.
Recently the Council passed an ordinance
empowering the Marshal to eject every per-
son whose claim for lot had been rejected
by the Arbitration Board. This put into
execution would affect over q thon-
sand persons The City Government made q
test case of the Driscoll-Diemer contest.
The Marshal proceeded to remove Dlemer
and his tent. Immediately q MOB
of 1900 men collected and drove the Marshais
away. The mob was about to attack the
City Hall when Captain Cavanaugh arrived
upon the scene and dispersed it, after which
the city authorities resumed the work OF
ejecting Diemer.
Diemer fought Ikea tiger and had to be
dragged from his tent to the street. DrlscoIs
building was rolled forward. The mob at
tempted to tear the house to pieces, but this
time the city authorities were able to rePulse
the angry men without the aid of soldiers;
That night soldiers guarded the principal
streets, and more trouble was anticipated.

Arpentine,s Cattle Trade.

E. L. Baker, United States Consul at
Buenos Ayres, in q report to the Department.
of State, says that the cattle industry OF the
Argentine Republic is in such langulsh-
ing condition that o law has been passed offer
ing guarantee of five per cent. for ten years
on the capital employed in the business OF ex,
porting fresh or beef The etS9T gsRoTs
ments are preparing to take advantage of the
guaranty provided by the Government and
are going into business on large scale with
special steamers fitted up for the traffic and
warehouses in England and France.
Great things are expected from this bounty
law by the Argentines, but Consul Baker
saws he does not believe the law will hurt
United States beef shippers much until new
methods are adopted for the preparation
of beef for expectation. Stall fed cattle are
quite unknown in this country. and al
bullocks for the market are taken directly OF
the grass, the meat, of course, being soft and
watery. Argentines, it Is thought Will not
cut much of figure until they learn that dry
food is absolutely necessary in order to pre-
pare fresh meat for very distant foreign
markets.

Sugar Cane Paper.

Paper is now being made from sugar cane. A manufacturer has produced 8 number of samples of bleached paper of is expected that this will soon become a very large industry. The paper is said to be made stronger than paper made from straw and to have just as fine & finish.
 A manufacturer talking recently, said |: "It has been very surprising to me that with the over-production of sugar, which, of course, reduces the value of that ar ticle, and with the over-increasing de- mand for paper, that it has never occurred to any one to make paper out of the fibre of the cane. The use now to which the cane has been put will bring a great deal of profit I should think to owners of sugar plantations. The flores of the sugar cane supply paper of supe- rior quality, and the necessary mechanical and chemical processes can be easily carried out"

That certain stores in each line of busi- ness of this city sell goods at lower prices than others. The perplexing question to many who are not already well posted is to know where to go and find goods marked at uniformly low prices. Some dealers in order to gain patronage offer baits, that is, they mark a line of goods at really low prices while the balance of their stock remains marked at high prices. Of course the general public soon find out these tricks and consequently these stores are not the headquarters for the multitude. The large crowds they advertise in the papers never "materialize." Everybody says that our prices are the lowest. Y0u want to. save money and we save it for you. Satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.
