that foreign governments would very

LADY ANALYSTS.


They Play the Same Tricks Resorted TO
Here and Get Caught
The Portland 0regohiau gives the fol
lowing amusing account Of a lady expert,
OF canvassers who was playingthe house
to-house sample test dodge in that city:
The city for several days has been can
vassed by a company OF womenwhoIilave
called at private residences for the osten-
sible purpose Of explaining the superior
merits Of their baking powder through a
series OF alleged chemical Experiments.
A lady who has been ANNOYED by The
agents determined TO test the efficacy Of
the experiments, and she brought ont
some Of the baking powder which they
are advertising. The agent submitted the
substance TO the usual tests and called
the lady's attention TO the presence Of
alum, ammonia and various other alleged
ingredients, which could be distinguished
by the peculiar odor, the residuuu, etc.
The lady OF course saw all these unnais-
taxable signs Of so-called impurities, and
allowed tine agent full swing 70 expand
upon the merits Of her own cooksssg pow
Ger. The agent finally inquired Of lhe
lady what brand Of baking powder she
had been experimenting With. THAT
baking powder Z replied the lady. isthe
same you have been cracking up so
high. The agent tanned all eolors, and
beat q hasty retreat Our Informant has
not been bothered With baking powder
agents since.

Of the Pacific coast are rich in lead, cop

soil more durable, and more favorable
seasons for seeding and harvesting than
any part OF the world, and the committed
thinks the completion Of the Nicaragua
canal is only needed 10 develop fhateo0n-
try 10 production Of gigantic proportions
and donble the population OF the Pacific
coast in a lew wears. The cotton grow
ing sections OF the gull states have under
gone depression. and the committee be-
lieves that nothing could be of greater
immediate advantage than the canal in
relieving that depression, and making q
market for American cotton in Japan,
China and CoIea, where already the Peo-
pie are beginning 10 manufacture cotton
goods by machinery. Japan imported
over 900 900 pounds OF American cotton
in 1891, most OF which was shipped from
New Orleans to New York and then by
rail 10 Vancouver and steamship "a
Japan.
at present the coal trade OF south
America and the Pacific coast is mono
polized by the English. The committee
thinks that il the Nicaragua canal were
opened the Alabama and West Virginia
coal would have a decided advantage over
English competitors not 10 mention the
enormous amounts of coal the canal COM
pany itself would use. AT the entrance
ofrthe Suez canal last year ], 900 900 tons
OF coal were sold. In competition with
England for Pacific ocean trade the
Nicaranga canal would give American
commerce an advantage of2, 700 miles,
while besides the specific benefits, the
COMMITTEES thinks great general benefits
will accurc TO the entire Mississippi
valley, the lake ports, and the Atlantic
coast. Ship building and the shipping
interests in New England will receive a
new impetus. a new scoasting trade will
spring up and American tonnage on the

Judge Gray, of the United States su-

Ia its issue of Sept. az
'sOf course the court did not consider
whether this duty Of 100 to 800 per cent.
upon the paHper goat hair Of Bombay or
Russia is absurd or the reverse. The
court simply decided that under the
pi'rsseoaogy OF the Mckinley bill all
goat hair comes within the provisions of
class z OF the wool schedule, and is
therefore dufiable at twelve cents per
pound, Under 'fhe tariff law which was
IN force previous TO the passage of the
Mckinley act this goat hair was free OF
duty.
AS the Law reads, the hair Of print
tive Russian or Bombay goat, worth two
cents per pound, is dutiabIe at twelve
cents per pound, while the wool Of a
primitive sheep at SO per cent. ad yalorem
might get IN at three cents per pound or

An Interesting Fact,

II will no doubt he of interest to
many Of our readers to know that
General John A. Logan, parents
secured their marriage license, and
were married in this County. John
Logan, his fathers name and Polly
Melee, his mothers. The license
was issued the 9Th day of June, 1928,
by Jacob F. Foute, Clerk Of what
was then known as The Court of
Pleas and Quarter Session, now our
County Court. Dan ID. FOute, Dep
uty Clerk, wrote the license. The
ceremony was performed June Sth,
by John Russom, a minister of the
Gospel. Logan's Chapel, in this
County, takes its name from the
family. One of General Logan's
uncles giving the tract of land on
which it is situated.
They emigrated from Blount
County, into Illinois, where John A.
Logan was born. Perhaps brief
account of the General will be read
with interest. He was of Cherokee
descents. He enlisted in the Next
can war, when very young and was
made lieutenant, in one of the ILL
nOis regiments. He returned home
with . brilliant military record, and
then commenced the study of law.
Before he had completed his course
he was elected clerk of mis- county,
and at the expiration of his term,
he went to Louisville, Ky, where
he attended lectures. About this
time he was made prosecuting attor.
ney for the third judicial district Of
his State, and his success in that ca.
pacity, and evident sterling quail
ties first drew attention to him. He
was elected representative to thu
Legislature from Jackson anG
Franklin Counties, ILL.,, about the
year 1851, and from that time was
almost interruptibly in public ser
vice, either civil or military. Ht
! was reelected twice to the Legisla
lure. When the late unpleasant
ness broke out, he enlisted, and 500,
