COTTON GROWERS
The Still water Stock Enterprise a De-
cided Success.

SALTWATER, Ok. Oct. 14-The
cotton exchange organized recently
here to enable growers 20 hold their
crops and realize higher prices, gives
every indication OF being a success.
A safe yard is provided for all cotton

bales is entitled to membership For
all cotton deposited the depositor re-
ceives a certificate on which, II he so
desires, he may purchase goods or
rAise money TO the amount OF three
fourths OF the certificate. Each bale
deposited becomes part OF the com
mon stock and is taken charge Of by
the trustees, and by them insured
against Gre. They look after the
markets, and at such time when, in
their opinion, the market is the most
favorable the cotton is disposed OF and
the money received will be divided
pro rata among the depositors. The
officers OF the association serve with
out remuneration, except the secre-
tary, who receives not more than SO. 80

A CRYING SHAME.
Another Case of Inexcusable Ill
Treatment in the Name of
Uncle Sam

A poor old man, emaciated and his
feeble body wracked with never ceas-
ing pains, is locked in the county Jail,
a United States prisoner. His long
thin hair is unkempt and his weak blue
eyes tell of misery and want. 1t is
Jas. Beausherer, and he is held in Jail
without so much as a commitment
having been filed for him. Like many
others, he has been arrested for sign
ing pension papers which it appears
were fraudulent. Beausherer is 60
years old. He was arrested at his
home in Council Bluffs, Ia, and brought
to the Shawnee county jail by the Unit
ed States marshal of Kansas on Feb
ruary %. Since then he has been kept
in close confinement, and although suf-
fering from chronic kidney trouble and
very weak, has not been given a change
of underclotheS in the five weeks he has
been in Jail He could not do with
out the underclotheS he wore long
enough to have them washed, for he
is scarcely able to move about, and he
has been kept in this condition, al
though many requests have been made
for aid. Shawnee county furnishes
necessary clothing to its prisoners, but
this man is a prisoner of Uncle Sam
and aid could come but through the
marshal.
Beausherer is an old soldier, having
served in company B, Twenty-third
Shiloh and taken to Andersonville
prison. 1t was in trying to get a pen
sion that this trouble arose.
The old man can neither read nor
write. Whether he is guilty or not it
is quite evident that he. has been
shamefully neglected and,sill treated
Leaning on the barred door, his with
cred hands trembling, Beausherer said
to a reporter:
This is the first time was ever in
Jail I was never before a judge in a
court house in my life. If was to die
the next minute I could not tell what 1
was arrested for It must be, though
something about my pension. can't
read and write. I have been kept here
nearly five weeks and haven't had any
other underclOthes to put on. When
they first put me in down below the
'ereybacks' were thick on the floor 1
suffer awfully with kidney trouble. 1
was raised by a man named Kennedy
and some people know me as Jack Ken
nedy, bur my real name is James Beau
sherer, and always signed that name"
While the old man was yet talking
Tom WiIkerson came to the jail door
and handed him a small bundle. The
prisoner looked curiouSlJ at him.
Here, grandpa, I went out and col
Iected some money to buy you some
underclothes, said WflkersOn.
The old man looked delighted He
looked at the underclothes, and then
turning to Tom Wilkerson, said: well,
bless you for this
Old Beausherer'S case appears to be
one of those United States cases which
are productive of nothing but misery
for the victim and fees for the petty
United States officials. The case of
Beausherer was worked up by one of
Uncle Sans "detectiveS''-One more to
be added to his list.

Back in Chains.

San Francisco, April IA first class
stateroom in the cabin of the steamer
Mariposa has been turned into a prison
cell and in it Murderer Butler will be
taken to the scenes of his crimes in
Australia. A room on the starboard
side of the vessel and about amidships
has been reserved for his accommoda-
ton and the usual fittings have been
removed, and all that remains in the
room is the lower of the three hunks,
in which the murderer will sleep.
Close to the floor a strong steel ring
has been riveted, to which the prisoner
will be fastened if he should show a
surly disposition. Three Australian
detectives will take turns in sitting in
that room with the prisoner until he
leaves the vessel at Sydney. The pris-
Oner will be given some exercise on the
deck and in the fresh air at night or
early in the morning when the other
passengers are in their hunks. He will
then be chained by two of his captors.
