CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The whereabouts
OF W. S. Wharton. who has been engaged
in the money lending business in this city,
for several years, is troubling a number OF
citizens and particularly the Chicago
Trust & Savings bank and the United
States Loan Co. For over a week
Whorton has not been seen and his wife
and creditors have finally concluded he
has left the city. IL is asserted his
Indebtedness will mount to $50, 900,
nearly $4,000 of which is due to the
financial institutions named above. 1t Is
asserted that Wharton frequently pursued
the plan oil double dealing in hypothecat-
ing notes made to HIM. When the note
became due, it is asserted, he was
accustomed to notify the signer he could
not carry il unless a new one was made.
When this was done, he promised to
destroy old notes. but instead OF doing so
would leave them with the financial
institution where he had placed them and
negotiate the new one at another place.
1t is also believed that Philadelphia
people will be interested in Wharton's
fight. 1t is asserted that ne. with another
man. bought several years ago the charter
OF Il deiunct insurance company in Phila-
delphia, the Columbia company. Whar-
tons clerk SAID today ne thought it was
in this and similar concerns that much of
his employers gains had been lost. Pres
ident Tolman of the Chicago Trussand
Savings bank says. however, but little was
paid for the charter. He thinks the Col
umbia was only one of thee or four in
surance companies in which Wharton was
interested, and that all Of these were used
only to catch premium payers, who never
got anything u of the company but
their p~olicies.

BISMARCK. N. D., Oct. 2s.-Kicking
Horse, the great Sioux prophet, seems to
be responsible Tor the most of the trouble
at Standing Rock. He claims to have
visited heaven. and returned to earth to
tell TIE Indians what good things are in
store for them. Major Mclaughlin
ordered him off the reservation. and con-
fined several other troublesome spirits in
the guard house. The Indians have been
making day aud night hideous. Kicking
is GINNING enough to mix the Christian
doctrine with his prophetic u~tterances.
He tells them they must not kill the
whites. as the Great Spirit will take care
Of them. He declares the time will soon
come when the Indians will occupy the
earth to the exclusion, OF the whites. Ii

CHICAGO, Oct. 2s.-As far as learned
siay. nothing has been done toward set
ling the difference between. the Union
Pacific and its Chicago connections. The
outlook is still for the severance of the re-
between them Nov. !. The
Union Pacific, Of course, will depend
the Chicago & Northwestern for
Chicago connection. and it is understood
the latter aud its dependency, the Omaha
X St Paul, will issue a circular tomorrow
providing for an exchange of business on
the basis demanded by the Union Pacific.
General Manager Mellen OF the Union
Pacific and President Egan of the Chi
Ago, Milwaukee & Kansas City had a
conference this morning, with the result
that the latter road will probably accept
the Union Pacific terms. Egan said to a
reporter. after the conference, it would be
foolish for his road to join the other
Western roads in a fight, as it had moth
ing to gain from them, while amicable re-
lations with the Union Pacific would be
much to its advantage.

FOR GEORGIA FARMERS.

A gentleman living in Talbot county
atfirms that he carried exactly 1000 pounds
of seed cotton to gin the other day, and
from it realized $50 pounds Of lint and l 200
pounds of seed.
The invention of Mr.. Umback Of Athens,
harrow that can be readily attached to
any pillow stock, has attracted wide atten-
ton. This harrow will, in all probability,
supplant all the others now in use.
LaGrange Graphic: Mr.. r. J. Wilson
has the most prolific sow we remember to
have heard of. She is a big Guinea and
Berkshire cross. On May IA, 1899, she
gave Mr.. Willis eleven pigs; on Feb. z,
1890, she gave him fourteen pigs, and on
Oct. 81, 1890, she gave him twelve mora,
making thirty-seven pigs in seventeen
months. We guess the hogs record will bo
pretty hard to beat She is highly valued
by her owner.
The late success of Hancock at the state
fair is but typical of the general success of
the county at large. The cotton crop far
exceeds any ever made in this county before.
The whole county is white with cotton,
and while there ia some scarcity Of labor
the fact that so much of the crop is still IN
the field is largely due TO the unusually
large crop. From ten to twelve bales TO
the plow Is an average yield, while many
will make from fifteen to eighteen. Quite
a number of negroes are making as high as
seven and eight bales with nothing to pillow
but an OK. Other crops size up equally as
well. The people are literally making
more than they can gather.

the husband in a swamp. Yet upon the
