KILLED BY A TREE.


currence took place over near Tan
merry last Friday on the farm of
Freeman Kelly, now rented by Jos.
Slsler. The latter, with four hands,
was working in clearing. MIR.
Sisler and a young man named
Rinary O'Brian, aged about twenty,
and son Of Robert O. Brian, of Tan
merry, cut tree that lodged on
another in falling. They started
to cut down the other one, and had
only struck few ticks when the
lodged tree started to fall. The
other hands called to them to look
out. and Sisler got out of the way,
supposing that O'Brian would do
likewise. What was his surprise to
see the young man making no at
tempt to escape. The tree fell very
slowly, and had Sisler known it in
time he could have returned and
gotten O'Brian away, but expected
him to jump to one side, until it
was too late. Had he taken n step
either way he would have escaped,
but seemed perfectly helpless and
never made the slightest move to
get out of the way. The tree struck
him squarely on the head, crushing
the life out Of him instantly and
MASKING his head and face horribly.
so as to be unacceptable, and the
remains could not be opened after
being placed in the coffin. His
companions were unable to account
for his failure to move, except that
it was fate and ordained for him to
die that way, and no use to try to
escape,
His brother John was killed in
the same way about three years ago,
and 1t does seem strange. The COM
panions of the unfortunate Young
man say that he looked mp ut the
tree falling on him, and laughed
and said something about it, and
whether he was paralyzed with fear
or hyptonizod by the danger, is q
question for students Of the occult
science to determine. The burial
took place in the graveyard at the
Lutheran church in the Crab.

An Infamous Conspiracy.

Senator G. c. Cordill, of Tensas
parish, one Of the largest cotton
planters in the State, is deserving
of commentator at the hands of
every man in the South who raises
u pound of cotton, for the psrticu.
3srly able manner in which he has
exposed the infamous designs of a
New Orleans cotton factorage
6rm, to depress the market by
outrageous and bold-faced lying.
In a recent issue Of a CONNER.
cial paper published in Havre,
France, appears the following cir
cular letter from New Orleans,
dated August "a, 1896. issued by
Lehman, Stern & Co.:
"Our market has advanced un-
der the influence of reports of da-
mage to the crop; nevertheless,
the weather during the week was
extremely favorable to the crop.
Rains which fell in Texas during
the last three weeks have placed
the crop in a fine condition. There
is now no doubt that Texas will
give this year very large crop,
the largest the State has ever pro-
ductd. except last year. All plan
tations in the highlands of MISS
sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Tennessee are in fine condition.
The prospects are good in North
and South Carolina. They are
fair in Georgia and Alabama.
There seems to be general ten
dency to hold back cotton. The
damage to the crop seems to be of
the same nature as those spoken
of in the crop of 100000. Our
circular letter of the 9Th Of Aug.
1891, expressed our opinion to the
effect We thought the crop would
be larger than the preceding crop
of $3.50, 900 bales. About the Is,
of September those with conser-
vstive tendencies thought neces-
sary to bring out an estimate Of
seven and one-half million,
which did not prevent the final
result to be somewhat over nine
million. Our opinion is that the
same thing might happen this
season to the Texas crop"
Mr.. Cordill thus proceeds to
dissect this artistic fabrication,
and shows that for twenty-four
days preceding the issue Of this
document the government officials
from Verginia to Texas had been
gathering the facts about the Sou.
thern cotton crop. which resulted
in a report on Sept. 10, showing
the lowest general conditions since
the disastrous crop of 1881. The
condition of Texas in that report
was particularly bad.
The government reports of dai'
ly rainfall in Texas from Aug. l
to Aug. "a, the date Of the circu
lar, show that there WAS a practi
cal drouths during the whole Of
this period. That drouth has not
been broken to this date, and tn,
most conservative merchants il
Texas are now telegraphing that
the Texas crop lisa disaster.
The facts about the weather
conditions of 1895 have boen o
such common notoriety in this
country that no cotton facto
could be consciously ignorant o
them.
From the date of this remarka
Sle ,ircular to this time there In,

been deterioration day by day
in the crop conditions everywhere
except in North Carolina. A rag
ing heat, from 8 to IL degrees
above the normal, has prevailed
over Texas, Indian Territory, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mi
ssissippi, Alabama and Western
Georgia, and the end is not yet,
causing premature opening of
bolls, the shedding of forms and
blooms and paralysis of growth.
Judging by their expression of
Aug. "a, these same prominent
cotton factors (who are supposed
to be paid by their constituents
to sell cotton at the highest posi-
ble price, and who, as the adyan-
GERS of supplies to such constitu-
ents, are or ought to be interested
in getting the highest possible
price for their cotton) will short
ly issue another circular and in
form their foreign correspondents
(who are buyers of cotton and,
therefore, interested in buying it
as cheap as possible) that the
crop conditions have continued
favorable, that there 'hnve been
fine rains in Texas; that the fruit
age is heavy aud that we are still
in sight of a 100000 crop.
Such circular keep the oonsum-
er out of the market, in the hope
of getting cotton at a lower price,
and then makes him scrumble for
the necessary supply when he
finds that he has been deceived.
They prevent the farmer, who is
compelled to ship his cotton at an
early date, from findings market
at the proper price for his pro-
duct. Spectators then step in
between the producer and consul
mer and use their position like a
two-edge sword to. slash both
sides. They buy the farmers cot
ton below its value. They sell ii
to the spinner for more than they
would otherwise have had to pay.
1t is possible that this distingu.
ished cotton firm would like to tit
their hand to he handle of such q
sword? c. G. CoRcILL
We are of the opinion that these
people have already fitted their
hands to just such a sword and
they are getting ready to swipe

less numbers of small country
merchants who are their helpless
dupes. They give them theii

Every citizen Of jefferson City,
whether he be rich or poor, property
owner or not, can at least afford 10
take a few shares of stock in the
bridge that will prove the salvation
of the capital. 500, 900 is a large
sum OF money, and yet it is a small
sun when 1t is considered that $50.
600 vas raised for the purpose of pre-.
senting 1t to the company that would
undertake the construction of this
bridge. The bonus heretofore sub.
scribed is valueless now because an
outside company, so long as the
capital removal question is hanging
over us, refuse to undertake the 0
struetion of the bridge. The burden
therefore, falls upon the people and
they must raise an addition Il $50, 900

give, which will enable them to build
the bridge, save their $50, 900 bonus

Work TO be Done,

The next two years will be the

sewers to construct with the Lincoln
Institute to rebuild, with the Dulle mill
10 erect with the railroad TO Lebanon
and with the Improvements of on r
streets and sidewalks. the hands of
those who are looking after the in.
terests CT the city, will be full. The
drones-the people who give neither
time nor money towards the BUILDING
up Of the city, will find that the time
has come for them to crawl out of
their holes. They can make up their
MINDS that there are many progress
i've and energetic people of Jeffer-
son city who can much better afford
to see the capital removed than the
moss-hacks and drones who have
been reaping all the benefit from the
labor of the few. This thing will
not last; it cannot last. The people
who are carrying the burden and who
will not be benefited will refuse to do
the work and when it is too late the
who have all they possess invest.
in Jefferson City, will find to their
sorrow that they did not wake up in
time to save themselves. If they do
not feel that a crisis is cmpending.
then it will be impossible to awaken
them from their sleep and the thing
that the progressive people should do
is to pull out and let them sleep con.
tentedly forever.

The Republican city central com.
mittee has placed upon the ticket for
mayor the name Of one of the most
aggressive young Republicans in JEFF.
ferson City. Mr.. Julius Conrath
was one of the leading candidates
for postmaster of this city when
President Harrison was elected and
the gallant fight he made at that time
won him a host of friends who will
rally to his support in the mayoralty
contest. Mr.. Conrath has been chair
mar of the county comittee and has
always been a strong worker for the
party. His selection at this time is
a compliment that speaks for itself
He has the intelligence, ability and
courage to perform whatever duty
that may confront him, and we have
no hesitation in saying that if elected
this city will be able to say that it
has one of the best business MAYORS
that it has ever possessed.
Mr.. Conrath was born and reared
in jefferson City his family is n
OF the most respected among our
people. As a republican and tusi.

honor that the party has bestowed
upon him and his election will be an
