HARRISON'S GREETING
Is Very Deliberate and Is Sent to Him
by Mail

CANTON, o., Nov. 10.-The usual
steady streams of callers were at Nc
Kinley's home today. Among the first
to arrive was William M. Hahn, who
had charge Of the speakers bureau at
Chicago headquarters. At 1921 the ma
jor drove to the Pennsylvania station
where he stepped into the special car of
the Chicago newspaper men, who toured
to New York and Washington. Infor-
NAL greetings were passed. Upon re-
turning to the house he found a good
sized crowd waiting to greet him.
Among the congratulations the follow
ing letter has been received by McKn-
ley from eX-President Harrison:
1.-THE use of mails instead of wires as
a carrier of my congra tulations does not
imply they are less, but rather that they
are more thoughtful and deliberate. 1t
is great honor, indeed, when personal
success is identified with a great ma
tonal triumph. The issues forced to the
front by the Chicago platform put the
fight on such lines that the Republican
party could use it's old breastworks and
make an unfailing appeal to the patriot
ism Of the south as well as of the north.
Il sincerely hope you may be given
the wisdom and strength needed in this
emergency to restore and establish the
prosperity of the nation.

Press Special Wire

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10.-The six
teenth annual session of the farmers
national congress began at 1890 today
in Indiana hall. There were about sew
enty persons present Later sittings are
expected to show larger attendance.
The members present were representa-
tive men and leaders in the cause of
of agriculture.
The congress was called to order by
President b. F. Clayton. of Indianola,
Iowa. Mayor Taggart delivered an adj
dress of welcome. Response was made
by Secretary j. M. Stahl of Chicago.
I'VE came here" said the secretary, ito
labor for the farmer. and yet we do not
forget the men in the mine, shop or
banks We realize the interdependence
of all industries and that when the in
dustries of the cities languish our agri-
cultural industries fail.
J. G. Offum gave welcome on behalf
of the farmers of Indiana. saying:
I'VE are looking forward to this con-
gress with a great deal of anxiety and
desire. We farmers find ourselves in
very Strengthened conditions; we find
many farms plastered with mortgages"
L. s. Coffin of Iowa said that state was
more largely agricultural than any
other. A very small percentage of the
Iowa farms We're mortgaged.
Governor Matthews welcomed the
congress on behalf of the state.
President Clayton delivered his annual
address.
John G. Offutt of Indiana offered the
following resolution, which was referred
to the resolutions committee without
action
Whereas, The products of the farmers
are measured by the amount of redemp-
ton money that is in circulation, and
Whereas, The price of farm products
is below the cost of production,
Resolved, That this farmers nationa!
congress is in favor of the equal use of
both gold and silver coin as money of
ultimate redemption, and that we do
request the incoming president of the
United States to call conference of ma
lions that are willing for the use of both
gold and silver as money with the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver in a ratio to be agreed upon.
The committee on location met to-
night and has practically decided to
recommend st. Paul, Mimi, as the next
meeting place.

WOMAN IN POLITICS

THE story so pleasantly told few
weeks ago of the lady who was anxious
that Bryan would be elected president,
because there would be two vice presi-
dents, Sewall and Watson, reminds me
of another instance of political knowl-
edge on the part of the female sex" re-
marked an official of the state depart
ment. Though it occurred some years
ago, it loses nothing by being a tritie
stale, for l do not think it has ever ap-
peared in print Among the callers to
the state department one day was &
lady who was showing her nieces and
nephews the sights The lady herself
had been wonderfully successful in
business in New York and has managed
to amass quite a fortune.
Her political knowledge however was
not as fully developed as her knowledge
of business affairs. 1t happened that
as she passed the room of the secretary
of state she asked me: Who's room is
that?' l told her that it was the room
of the secretary of state. Well, just
think of it!' said the lady to her COM
panion. and the secretary of state is
living yet. Why he was very old man
when | was here over thirty years ago!"

BIG COTTON PRESSES.

OF the many cotton presses which were
in operation in New Orleans sixty years
ago, the two principal ones We're the Lee
wee cotton press and the Orleans cotton
press. They were large and massive
buildings each occupying, like most of
the others, square of ground. The Lee
wee cotton press was built in 1892 by a
company bearing the same name at a
cost of $500, 900 and was two stories high.
1t compressed some 100000 bales of cot
ton a year. The Orleans press also front
ing on the river occupied an era of 632
feet by 30S, the buildings nearly cover
ing the whole space. This press, which
was begun in 1898 and completed in 1885,
cost of $750000, compressed about 100000
bales per annum, and could stree $4,000
bales of cotton. Its immense length
gave it very imposing appearance
from the river.-New Orleans Picayune.

guson and John Dodge, jr.. father of

by that name Noble and Smith are
still at large, but are being closely
pursued by the posse in charge of Dep

element hitherto unparalleled by the
occurrence of this shocking calamity
and capture of the suspected murderers
has aroused them to the highest state
of indignation. Members of the posse
at Usal outnumber those who express a
desire for hurried vengeance and there
are no fears of trouble. The capture of
Smith is predicted as certainty for
tomorrow.

ALLIGATORs TWENTY FEET LONG

Alligators were formerly one of the
chief animal life tenants of Red river
and the bayous of Louisiana, where, be-
fore steamboat navigation came to in
terrupt them, they could be seen by
hundreds huddled together on the banks
or massed on the floating or stationary
iogs-especially of Red river-waking
the solitudes of the forest with their
bull-like belowings. Their length was
generally between eight and twelve feet,
although they sometime grew to be
twenty feet long. Their hides were once
used extensively for the making of shoes,
but the leather, not proving of suffici-
emily close texture to keep water out,
shoemaking from this material was
abandoned.-NeW Orleans PicaYune:
