But still Miss Abigail shifted con-
temptuously and turned cold!y from her
whenever they chanced to meet. Once
when books were being discussed Myra
offered to send her George Eliot's
p"Romola." but was surprised to receive
an insulting "No thsnky, ma am |

critter A woman that was talked

And Myra could not repress smile
as she observed that neither praise nor
blame could touch the divine genius of
the author OF "Romola." Now, after
that Miss Abigail seemed to dislike her,
if possible, more than ever.
And so time wore on until the sum-
mer came. The scene of my story is
laid in little country town few miles
from a certain Southern city, and over
that fair city dark cloud was slowly

prices and bankruptcy have followed Not.
uithstanding these well-known facts the price
OF meat to the consumer has remained not far
from the old figures. OF course, some class
was the gamer by the change. It was generally
believed that the great slaughtering and pack

Another reason for the depression is worth
giving. When Congress donated enormous
tracts of land to railroad companies it was
necessary flor them:to find settlers, who have
been drawn from Europe. The steamship and
railroad companies have co-operated in this
immigration movement. But the evils OF the
too rapid inflow are apparent in many ways,
The farmers, both in the older sections of the
country and the new. are now reaping some OF
the evil consequences. Doubtless farmers in
the older sections are suffering the most.
Another reason for depression, and believed
by many, IS the cost Of transportation. It Is
maintained that the tariff fixed by the railroad
companies has given the producer of wheat
in Minnesota and Dakota, for example, such
advantage over the Eastern producer that he
can no longer raise wheat without loss. Il Is
quite true that the transportation companies
can fix price for transporting wheat high
enough to prevent the Western wheat grower
from sending a single bushel to market.
but whether they are required to adopt such
principle or policy is another question. If the
transportation companies ought TO make such
rates as will protect the Eastern farmers from
Western competition, then they certainly have
serious grievance against the transportation
companies which should be settled without
delay. But if we understand the Eastern
farmers they do not maintain this dOctriney
their position is that the same rate per mile
ought to be charged to all If this principle
was adopted then the Eastern farmer would
surely have a great advantage over those who
are raising wheat and other products far from
Eastern markets. To this, however, the rail-
road company would reply that considerable
portion OF the expense is incurred in loading
and unloading the cars and that the expense is
Just as great for transporting wheat a mile a.
for transporting it L500 miles, They maintain,
therefore, and not without reason, that tariff
based simply on mileage, not taking into ac-
count the cost of loading and unloading the
cars. would be very unfair and they ought nos
to be required to adopt it.

Half Burned Remains of Isaac Dec Found In
Tioga County Woods.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAroH.i
ELMIRA, N. Y, June 15.-What appears
to have been a horrible murder was to-day
unearthed near Lakewood, in Tioga county,
Pa. George Lofts. farmer living near
Gregg's schoolhouse, while at work
in the woods peeling bark, saw pro-
truding from beneath log mans
leg encased in a boot. Scattered about in
the ashes of burned wood were the
crumbled bones of human form,
the largest remaining being those of
the skull and jaw. Coroner Harnden,
OF Waverly, was notified and went to the
scene. A number of people of Waverly ac-
companied him, among whom was
Isaac Huckle. Arriving at the
scene the portion of the leg below
the knee, encased in few shreds
of crisp cloth and leather boot,
was removed from beneath the log and by
the tap on the boot the ghastly remnant of
a human body was identified by Mr..
Huckle as belonging to his father-in-law,
Isaac Dec.
Near by the scene Of this tragedy was
pile of wood. Concealed in this was found
revolver, one chamber of which was
empty. Mr.. Deo was formerly
miller aG Waverly, and lived there
with his son-in-law, Isaac Huckle. He left
home about five weeks ago. The coroner's
jury decided that Dec came to his death by
burning in a manner unknown.

A FREE WOOL MEMORIAL
Sent Ont by the Consumer Association OF
Efete Boston.

Sent Ont by the Consumer Association of
Efete Boston.
BOSTON, June ia memorial in favor
of free wool has been sent to the Senate
Finance Committee by the Wool Consumers
Association. It starts out with this: "For
the protection Of the woolen manufacture of
the country, and for its rescue from most
hampered and distressed condition we ask
for great reduction or the total abolition of
the duty on WOOL"
And it closes thus: GAS all the wool
grown in the world is now wanted, the
American grower could hardly be injured
by tie readjustment of values. IF at the
worst his product should fall slightly in
price he would be compensated soon by the
larger and more certain demand from the
stimulated and increased manufacture.
''The demand for mutton is rapidly increas-
ing, and it is afforded in better quality by
sheep which produce long wool than by the
breeds producing short. fine wool. The half
breed mutton sleeps wool. in the warp,
works admirably with the rejected worsted
fibers, and the Montevideo feeces in the fill
ing. Thus the mutton focks would be stim-
ulated through the importation of free raw
materials The American consumer of
woolens and worsteds would get tbetter fabric
at prices generally lower"
