CLOSER UNION.
Meeting of a Committee Repre-
senting American Republics.
Another Advance in the Direction of a
United America.
Preparations Under Consideration for .
Broad Development of the Burcau's
Commercial Usefulness-An Effort
to Create Better Understanding.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-An important
departure in the control of the Bureau
of American Republics was inaugurated
Thursday afternoon through meeting
of the committee representing the
American republics which was ap-
pointed by Secretary Olney Thursday
morning, consisting of the Mexican,
Brazilian, Venezuelan and Guatemalan
ministers and the Costa Rican charge
d'affaires. Senor Romero presided over
the session which was held in the par.
lor of the bureau building, and while
the proceedings were in the nature OF
a preliminary determination of the
future work of the organization, it is
understood that preparations are un-
der consideration for broad develop
ment of the bureaus of commercial use
fulness, involving much closer union
of the interests of all the re-
publics on this continent. AL
though the general direction Of
the bureau is, in all probability, to
be continued under the secretary of
state, the United States advancing the
money for it's support and being subse-
quently reimbursed by the other par
ties to the agreement, hereafter the
other republics will exercise active
control over their interests in the mat
ter. The contemplated accession
of Chilli, although that country
has abstained from participating
in the enterprise since it's conception,
and the reconsideration of the deter
mination by Mexico and Argentina to
withdraw from the arrangements
which are now announced, have been
secured through the efforts of Secretery
Olney, who is said to have confidence
in creating a better understanding
among the American nations than could
have been deemed possible heretofore.
The committee which met Thursday
will hold other meetings next week
and report to conference of all the
republics as soon as possible. In addi-
tion to the chairman, it's members are
Seniors Mendonca, Andrade, Lazo-Ar-
riaga and Calvo.

Robert X. Mccoy Murdered.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, April 3.-Rob-
ert X. Mccoy, relative of the McCoys,
who years ago were mixed up in feud
with the Hatfields, on Big Sandy river,
moved to this county about two months
ago. He left here late Wednesday
night for his home. His horse was
found grazing about fifteen miles south
Thursday morning. The saddle and
sides of the horse were covered with
blood. People living in that vicinity
say they heard shots about midnight
and it is supposed that Mccoy was shot
and his body thrown into the creek and
carried away. Bloodstaihs lead to the
creek

SHORT ON GIRLS.
10000 Manageable Females
Wanted in the Northwest.

Vancouver, B. c., April 16.-The
Mayor of Vancouver has received a
peculiar letter from Toronto, written
in the interest of the young women in
Toronto and other eastern Canadian
cities, In this unique epistle the
writer states that, according to statis-
tics, there is shortage in the female
population in the Northwest territories
and British Columbia, amounting to
about 10000, and there is in eastern
Canada a corresponding overplus of
unmarried women. In order to equal
ize matters it is proposed to send
young women Of good health and
moral character West, to be distribu-
ted where the demand is greatest, and
for this purpose il is sought to estab-
lish q home at Vancouver, for the re-
ception and distribution of the young
women for British Columbia.

Chicago dealers have received in
quiries for hay from Cape Town, one
house there sending sample order
for choice baled timothy, with assur-
ance thatifquality and price are right,
large quantities can be placed. This
unusual order hints at the shortage of
feed in that country. Too much stress
should not be placed upon the report,
as dealers frequently exploit these ex-
perimental orders beyond their merits.

Mr.. Fred Miller, of Irving, ILL,
writes that he had severe kidney
trouble for many years, with severe
pains in his back and also that his
bladder was affected. He tried many
so called kidney cures but without any
good result. About year ago he
began the use of Electric Bitters and
found relief at once. Electric Bitters
is especially adapted TO cure of all
kidney and liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial
will prove our statement. Price only
so cents for large bottle. For sale at

Intensive Cultivation.

Intensive cultivation is necessary in
berry growing, and many farmers,
commencing with well cultivated ber-
ny gardens, are learning the lessons
of better preparation of soil, higher
fertility, and more frequent cultiva
ton. This intensive principle, pro-
ducing the best of everything, should
be applied TO stock raising, as well as
all other products of the farm.

Docking Lambs.

The proper way to cut lambs tails
is to hold the lamb between the legs
of the operator, push the skin well up
toward the root, sever the bone, and
pull the skin back over the stub. BY
this method the lamb will bleed less,
and the extra skin will help TO protect
the bone of the tail &c. w. Odgen,

Your Own Boss.

A young business friend recent,

Ismiled. 1t is one OF the illusions
of life that ones own work is slavish
When 1 visited Fort Russell, a cow
boy drew my brother aside and said
well. that fellow (meaning me) has
soft Job. All he has to do is to buy
$40 Bible and he is made" Many
preachers would like cowboys job

The only effective way to become
ones own boss, is to turn Robinson

pendent that Friday was heaven

Put it down: No bnsy life is indie
dependent. The independent farmer"
is dependent upon wind, water and
frost. The physician must buy his
clothes and groceries of his patients.
The lawyer waits long often for clients.
The merchant is dependent upon the
whims Of tariff thinkers and market
fluctuations. The preacher upon pew
rents.
Some men appear to outsiders to be
independent. They roll past in car
riages and pay large furniture and
grocery bills, but you don't know
them. 1 met the head of one of the
largest corporations in our city the
other day. Seldom have 1 ever seen
so care-worn and troubled face.
Pat with his pipe is Elysian peace be-
side it. Independence in one place is
generally purchased by greater de-
pendence in another.
1 want to assure my young friend
that if you should ever become your
"own boss" you would be most miser-
able and helpless, because without
human relations. You may become
'your own boss" in a true sense. 1t
will not be from changing positions.

The crew of fishing schooner OF
South Thomaston, Me-, got back home
a few days ago after an unusually try
experience, even for Maine fishermen.
Their vessel was driven on reef and
the crew put off in boat, and for
eight days they were tossed about on
the open sea without food and with
but little water. For the first five
days heavy storm prevailed, and
they were soaked through with the
waves that broke over the boat. They
caught enough rain water in their
caps to quench their thirst partially
On the sixth day they sighted land,
but before they could reach it fresh
gale sprang up and swept them out to
sea again, and not until two days later
were they able to reach land. They
were barely alive when they got

More money in grapes and wine in
the near future than in any other
branch of fruit growing seem probable.
The country cellars are nearly all
empty or engaged and winners are
looking ahead to a brisk demand and
paying prices, The steadily increas-

grape growers to plant large acreage
with resistant vines, which may
amount to between 1000 and 2000 acres
in this country.-(George Husmann,
