The Free Press, 'upon the author
iiy Of gentleman who is in position
to krow," says that the farmers of the
state are in a hopeful condition. This
is better than to be in respondent at
tiiude We should like to know who
the gentleman is who speaks so conf
denily and who has so broad an ac-
quaintance with the feelings of YER
mont farmers. 1t might strengthen
confidence in the statement. Does he
belong to the league or alliance or the
grange or some kindred organization !!
Such statements may be true or false
Or have no meaning in them. 80 far
as our observation goes there is moth
ing specially inspiriting in the present

remarks are good to fill up space in a

Among the various schemes by the
use of which certain men hope to get
money without work, are what are
termed short endowment orders. The
State of New Hampshire, and more
particularly the city of Manchester, APP
pear to be the Matching places of these
schemes. The life of these orders is
growing shorter. Two or three have
already been wound up by the officers
Of the law. One thing people are very
slow to learn, viz: that promises of
large returns from small investments
involve much risk. 1t will only re-

The Central Vermont Railroad has
advanced another step in its scheme
tor bringing in summer boarders and
issued an illustrated pamphlet descrip-
tive of Vermont scenery with the high
est Communications of its attractiveness
and IN connection Herewith gives a list
of the hotels and of the families that
are ready to take summer boarders. 1t
appears that large number, residents
of farms and villages, are ready to re-
ceive into their homes the denizens of
the cities at moderate rates. As the
result Of this move we may expect to
see an unusually large number OF sum-
mer boarders this season.
The Rutland Herald is inclined to
seek after sensations. 1t thought it had
found one when it told the story about
the Swedes at Norton Mills. An in
vestigation reveals the fact that that
tale was pretty near "canard." Some
dissatisfied Swedes did 90 away. Ev-
identity they left the colony for the col
ony's good No Swedes went there
under contract, they have found plenty
of work and been well treated. They
are paying for their lands, and as
rule are satisfied. Two or three not
accustomed to hard work. did not like,
and tried to kick up fuss. BY the
way, this is not one of Maj. Valentines
colonies, and those who sneer at him
are as those who beat the air.
One thing is not taken into account
in comparing present prices with the
war prices of farms. Here is an ex-
ample, A farm in Warner, n. Ii. sold
in war times for $4,000; it sold recent
ly for 81, 200. But if we take gold at
its highest war figure, So 50, it would
bring the price up to 3,705, making
the loss only 1926 on gold basis.
This same principle may be applied to
farms generally. This will account in
part for decline in farm values. When
we resumed specie payment was the
price of gold brought down to the green
back standard, or were greenbacks |
raised to the gold standard, or did they
meet half way? This is conundrum.
This method of accounting for the APP
parent decline in farm values is the
work of a contemporary. We look at
il some as the old farmer did who came
into our office the other day. He said
he bought a farm few years ago for
S2500, and that was since gold was
worth only 100 cents in greenbacks
now he could not sell it for more than
$1,000 but, he says, can raise just
as many potatoes to the acre now as
then. The intrinsic value of our farms
is as great as ever where they have re-
,eived proper attention. The CONNER
,ial value has no doubt been somewhat
affected by fluctuations in the currency.
1t is not easy to delude men into the
belief that farms have about as high
value now as in war times,
hough it Is easy to see that the differ
.nce is less in reality than in appear
lnce.

Sunday. The N. Y. Independent has

As rule the Protestants favor closing,

there is quite general agreement that
no machinery should be run on that

other in the limits of Greer county.
aud he was arrested and tried in q
Texas court and under Texas laws,
and was convicted. His counsel has
applied to the Federal court for writ
of habeas corpus, on the ground that
the crime was committed in the Indian
Territory and not in Texas, and the
Texas courts have no jurisdiction over
the otfense. This contention rests, OF
course, upon the assertion that the
place of the killing is not under Texas
jurisdiction. The issue thus joined
will be to decide whether Greer county
is in Texas or part of the Indian Ter
ritory. However the decision goes. the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court of the United States, which will
probably settle the controversy that
has so long vexed the state and Federal
authorities.
A joint commission, on the part OF
Texas and the United States, tried TO
find out who this territory belonged
to, but all they could do, after going
over the matter and taking evidence,
was to disagree, the state commission
ers reporting that it belonged to Texas
and the Federal commissioners that it
was a part of the Indian Territory.
There the matter rested for some time,
and the last congress took it up and
tried to provide for a judicial settle
ment of the question, but this was OPP
posed by some OF the Texas congress
men.
Now, however, in spite of this oppo-
sition, the question has got into the
courts, and it will be carried up to the
last resort, whose decision, whether
absolutely final or not as against any
action OF congress, will probably be
acquiesced in.

squirting from his throat. He had cut q
cash in the left side of his throat about
four inches long. The weapon was pocket
knife which he still held in his right hand.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Sept. 23.-The
fight tonight between Johnny Herget,
known as young Mitchell" CALIFORNIA;
representative middleweight pugilist, and
more interest than any similar event
which has taken place in this city
since the Corbett-Jackson contest, and the
rooms of the new Occidental clubs were
crowded at an early hour in the evening.

easily, one with straight left on chin.
The battle opened at $3.50 with Gallagher

The second round was also marked by
rushing by Gallagher.
From the third to the sixth round the
tactics were much the same. Gallagher's
long left usually reached its mark, as he
maintained his position near the middle OF
the ring, while Mitchell played around
him, taking every opening that presented,
but in duclling almost invariably catching
the terrific left full in the face.
At the close of the fourth round Gala

right-hander Mitchell playing for his ribs

vicious drives for his chin kept him from
too frequent repetition.
The sixth was marked by hurricane fight

knockout effort Mitchell also fcored two
hard ones ON Reddy's jaw.

THERE are four classes of people
whom the Texas alien land law with
the Gossett amendment will benefit.
They are:
l. The Yankee money lender, who
will lend $1,000 on $1,000 worth of real
estate at II per cent. He wouldn't
break the usury law, but he will trim
as close to it as he can.
,. The local money shark and note
shaver, who, taking advantage OF the
desperation of debtors threatened with
foreclosure, shave notes at 5 per cent
& month.
3. The land spectators who are now
lying low and laying up money to buy
the foreclosed mortgaged property at
4 quarter Of its value when the courts
begin TO decree sales.
l. And the sub-treasury politicians,
who look for a big accession TO their
ranks when men, driven to bankruptcy
by this law, begins to clutch at the
most desperate hope for any kind OF re-
lief. and take up the sub-treasury offer
as 4 possible escape from ruin.
These are the men for whose advan-
tage and profit the Democratic party of
Texas is being used.

A Lady and Her Brother Come from oiin-

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEN. Sept. 23.-for some time
past there has been living at Red Wing,
Mimi, a family composed of Z. W. White,
his wife and three children. White was
doing a prosperous business, and there
seemed TO be no trouble in the family, nor,
so far as his wife knows, was there any.
On the 18th of July last White proposed
taking the three children for u visit TO his
mother at 4 neighooring town. He left
with the children, and soon after his wife
discovered that he had transferred AL his
property at Red Wing and had collected all
the mol!ey he could. Further inquiry also
showed that he had not gone with the chill
dren to his mothers. Mrs. White was re-
luctantly forced to yield 10 the conviction
that she had been robbed of her children
and deserted by her husband. While
erieving at his conduct she felt so outraged
at it that, had he gone alone, no pursuit
would have plagued him; but the loss
of her children was more than
she would submit TO, and she
has succeeded in tracing him TO Chicago.
then TO St. Louis, thence here.
When the Frisco train came in yesterday.
Mrs White and her brother, John 5. Wat
kins, were aboard, passengers for this
place, but here they received telegram
from an authentic source that White and
her children were in Dallas, and they hast
ened on there While the mother has
strength to travel the hunt will continue,
as Mr.. Watkins expressed his determine
ton to remain Ion the road until his sister
had recovered the children.
