few moments and it ended in Mr.. Fax
on being discharged with reprimand.
The district attorney stated that
copies of temperance paper and sew
eral of Mr.. Faxon's speeches had been
sent to the jurymen. These speeches
and papers referred mostly to the IA
nous liquor cases in Hampden county,
where a judge dismissed a jury for
acquitting a liquor dealer when, in
his Judgment, the evidence warranted
conviction.
Miss Brown, Mr.. FaxOn's private
secretary, testified that she had sent
such papers and articles out many
times under general instructions, but
that Mr.. Faxon did not know when or
to whom they went.
Judge Bond then said that as Mr..
Faxon did not direct the wrappers he
could not be held responsible and that
Miss Brown evidently did not realize
the improperly of the act.

HIGH PRICES.

Georgetown, Tex, Oct. 9.-CSpeciaD
The meat markets are having more
difficulty than for several years finding
beeves to supply their wants. Beeves
have become scarce the past two weeks
on account of farmers holding for
higher prices and foreign buyers are
securing the county paying good
prices for all kinds of cattle wherever
they are for sale. Beeves that could
be bought a month ago for $3.50 COM
mand $3.50 now. Other stock has gone
up IN prices also. The meat markets
have raised the prices of meats cor
respondingly.

CHICAGO COWS GO DRY.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Chicago is threat
ened with a curtailment of her milk
SUPPLY The drcuth has destroyed the
pastures of the surrounding country.
1t is more than probable that a rise
in prices will be the result. The effect
OF the 6routh is already being felt by
the milk dealers of Chicago and vicin-
ity. For the past seven weeks the lat
ter have been compelled pay high
prices to the farmers for all the pro-
duct that was not previously contract
ed for. The farmers claim that they
are compelled to exact higher prices
than is usual at this time of the year
because of the fact that they are feed
ing their cows on winter fodder which
is attended with more expense than
pasturing.

THAT AWFUL DROUTH.
Southeast Kansas All Burning Up
And No Water.

Fort Scott, Kansas, Oct. 9.-In south
eastern Kansas the drouth that has
continued unbroken for over two
months, is unprecedented. In Chero-
kee, Crawford and Montgomery counties
not half an inch of rain has fallen in
three months.
In this city, according to the report
of w. w. billiard, the government OBJ
server, only 40 of an inch of rain has
been precipitated in over six weeks and
for many weeks the water company has
been channeling the Marmaton river
for miles into the country to let the
water down from the depressions in the
river bed.
For a month or more the stock ponds
have been dry and the stock feeders
and farmers generally have been COM
PEELED to drive their stock to the rivers
for water. With a large per cent. Of
them this means a drive each day Of
from three to ten miles. The pastures
are burned up and most of the stock
is being fed.
Vegetation of all kinds is blighted
and the trees have been prematurely
of their leaves. The mer-
chants of the cities and towns where
street sprinkling has been necessarily
have experienced a ma
terial depreciation in their stock on ac-
count of the dust having blown into
heir stores.
On a windy day stores are closed |
light and in most instances the StnpLS
s covered. Owing to the scarcity of |
water on the farms it is necessary for |
hem to travel overland to get water |
or their stock and themselves. The |
condition Of the soil is such tina: no |
flowing has been done and the acre
Ige of winter wheat, which would |
ave otherwise been larger than for
many years, will be greatly reduced.

of the Russian navy arrived on the
China, enroute to st. Petersburg. For
over two years he had been in COM
mand of the Russian squadron in
Chinese, Japanese and Eastern Asia
tic waters, the cruiser Ruric being his
flagship.
The admiral says that 800 miles of
the trans-Siberian railroad have been
completed to Vladivostock eastward
to Khabarovka. He insists that the
original route through Manchuria to
Vladivostock. Current reports that
the Russian government had obtained
a concession from China to extend the
trans-Siberian line through Manchuria
to Port Arthur as more favorable to
tidewater terminal than Vladivostock,
are pronounced by him to be untrue.
He says that a syndicate of Russian
and Chinese will build a railroad from
a point on the trans-Siberian line
through Manchuria to Vladivostock.
The government will have its own line
in Siberia connecting the same port.
The road will cost the Russian gov
eminent about 261 100000, it's total
length in Russia proper will be ATS
miles.
