within five degrees of the equator BY
using different loads I killed every
thing from sun-birds (the size of our
humming-birds) to monkeys, deer and
wild hogs. Much Of my shooting was
done with extremely heavy charges;
the climate was such that in spite OF
every pIecaution gune would turn red
with rust over night; my gun was i'm
daily use; in the rainy season it was
alternately soaked and roasted. and |
had numerous nasty falls, giving the
gun some severe knocks, but at the
end of year the gun was as good, II
not as handsome. rs when | bought it.

Popular Leader
Wild Tumult Calls for the Interference
Of the Police, but the Banquet
Was Not Neglected

CARMAUX, France, Nov. 29.-T
Jaurez, the Radical Socialist deputy from
Carmaux, and other Socialist members
of the chamber, attempted to address a
mass meeting at Carmaux today, but the
whole party was received with mingled
Kisses and cheers and were pelted with
filth. NJ. Jaurez was the champion Of the
glassworkers in their great strike last
year. but he has fallen out of favor with
his Carmaux constituency by the part he
took in the opening of the new co-opera
tive glass factory at Abb, which the Car
maux wormen view as q rival.
Troops escorted the party of depu
ties from the stage to the socialist club.
AS the time for the meeting arrived q
free fight occurred outside the hall and
mounted gems d'armes ha dto clear the
approaches. Several persons were ar
rested, including the Socialist mayor, M.
Calvine, whose face was covered with
blood. The uproar continued to SO great
an extent inside the hall that M. Juarez
was unable to secure a hearing and he
quit the place. M, Hellatin, the deputy
for AK. succeeded in putting to vote
a declaration that the committee was
elected but shouts of Resign" "Out
with Jaurez," prevented further bust
ness. There was wild tumult in the
hall and the opposing factions came TO
blows. Thereupon the commissary of
police dissolved the meeting and the
gems darmes cleared the premises,
mounted men outside keeping the exits
clear the deputies getting a very
mixed reception as they came out. They
returned to the club to banquet the
streets being patrolled.

DREW LOTS FOR THE OFFICE
A Kansas Township Vote a Tie on All
Offices
The Voters Cast Ballots While the Re-
mainder Paired Off and Served
on the Election Board

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 29-According to
official returns received at the secretary
of states office, there was one township
in Kansas where only two votes We're
cast at the recent election. 1t was Gar
field township, in Seward county. One
Of the voters cast a straight Republican
ticket, while the other voted the Populist
ticket straight with the exception of
county attorney. There was a tie on
all other officers, and the candidates for
township offices cast lots to see who
should serve.
Garfield township has about twenty
inhabitants, eight Of whom are voters.
There are four Populists and four Repub-
licans. On election day three of the Pop
ulists paired off with three Republicans,
and the six did not vote. The other Re-
publican wanted to pair off with the re-
malning Populist, but the latter would
not do 1t because he had a grudge against
the nominee of his own party for colIhty
attorney, and said he wanted to vote
for the Republican nominee. This ne
cessitated the casting Of two ballots,
with the result above stated A regular
voting precinct was maintained, how
ever, the entire day, and five of the eight
voters received 81 each for serving as
judges and clerks of election.

Yarns continue in better shape rela-
lively, but spinners in many directions
would gladly see more business. In the
meantime it cannot be learned that there
is any confirmation of New York re-
ports that many millers will shortly
shut down. The price basis for yarns
was unchanged, but for cloth was very
irregular. Continental spinners were
doing very little new business and
prices were rather easier.
The diminished demand for gold for
abroad partly due to the India rains,
has made money rates decidedly easier.
The stock market was dull for the week,
