JURY DISAGREED.
Conflicting Evidence in the
HaIIow-eenerS' Trial.

On Halloween night the large jew
eler's sign of Losey d Doelle was bat
tered with clubs, brick-bats, etc, until
nearly destroyed. Upon what seemed
to be well grounded information the
firm made complaint against Charlie
Hoskin, Memo Montney, Geo. Mitchell
and Herbert Clyne.
At the trial before Justice Etfrick,
John Wilson, Village marshal, stated
that he had seen these boys with many
others on the night in question and
that while separated from the others
they threw stones at and against the
sign. On the other hand it was claimed
that the Mitchell boy was at home and
that the others did not injure the
property.
On account of the conflicting nature
of the evidence the jury were unable
to agree, standing three for conviction
and three for acquittal.
No attack was made upon the boys
of the village on account of the ordi-
nary halloween pranks, and it IS GER
tain that there are very few that will
go to the extent of wilfully destroying
valuable property as in this case.
A report was circulated that the boys
battered Losey Il Doelle's sign because
they had induced them to iniure an
other sign. The gentlemen emphat-
ically deny that they gave any induce
ment or encouragement of whatever
kind to anyone to molest any other
sign or property in any manner.
The trial developed the fact that
there are a number of boys in the
village who do not seem to be under
4 bp control of p1rpntc ar apVOpa else
and that they are evidently becoming
reckless.
Assistant Pros. Attorney, Graham,
announces his willingness to continue
to take and hear complaints for any
committed by these just
as long as the people of the village
have a desire to stop depredations of
the sort complained of in this case, and
says that if right course is pursued
he has no doubt that the State Reform
School and the Work House will have
more inmates and the village fewer
toughS.

Postal Savings Banks.

f. p. Brown, president of the Gales
burg national Bank of Galesburg, H.,
had the following to say recently in
favor of postal savings banks:
''Yes l believe in postal savings.
There is need in our country-yes An
absolute necessity-that people should
be taught to make judicious use of
their earnings; in other words, taught
to save their money. This like all other
education should begin with the young.
The postal system would help in this,
as it would be in the reach of all and
would afford any one, even the small
children, an opportunity to make a
beginning In saving something. 1t
should be started on a plan that will
gather the waste money that now
never sees a bank. In this wav the
penny is cared for until it reaches a
judicious Investments homestead
and loan association, lot or a home
started, or something to which the
owner attaches o value. Then this
person begins to become something.
Here ends our anarchist and socialist
and government ownership, which so
many are today advocating and of
which so many are afraid. The secret
of saving is to make beginning.
When this beginning is made then
there arrives something better in the
individual. The saving must be used, t,
invested, set to work. Out of this
grows the business habit, and out of
this habit the man who develops and
becomes capable of managingit. Now,
ii eeemsto m eas u means to this end all
auxiliaries we can advise that are just
and honorable should be used. Doing
things is contagious, and if this moye-
ment was once universal and became
a popular movement all would move
more in that direction and in time
might become n national characteristic.
"No; it is my opinion banks and
bankers as rule are not opposed to
the postal bank system, and it is my
opinion the system in time would be-
come an adjunct of banking and busi-
ness, just as in church the Sunday
school is help to the church-not n
competitor. We should take broad
view of these things, not selfish one.
Selfishness hurts the self in business as
well as in morals. Yes, for one you
may put me down for postal savings
banks. and, as said before, when the
time comes you will find banks are
not, as rule, opposed to them, as
they will recognize in them an adjunct
of business of all kinds, and it is out of
increased business of all kinds, that
banks grow and prosper. Chicago

NOT SO GOOD.
The Wheat Yield Less Than
That of Last Year.

The average condition of wheat on
November l was in the southern coun-
ties, 20; central, So; northern 1903, and
state 80, comparison being with vitality
and growth OF average years. The
condition in the southern counties,
where 50 per cent of the crop is grown,
is thirteen per cent lower than one
year ago. The average condition in
the State in previous years has been:
1896, 80; 1895, rs; 1894, "a; 1898, 80; 1892,
81; 1891, 81.
The severe drouth prevailing at the
date of the October report was not
broken in the southern and central
sections of the state until Octobr IL.
Light rains occurred on the 5th-Sth, out
not in sufficient amount to be of bene-
fit. On the llth and 18th storms occur
ed generally throughout the State, the
rain fall being sufficient to afford re-
lief. Since this storm wheat has made
fairly good progress. On fields favor
ably situated it is looking we'll, but q
large portion of the fields are more or
less spotted. This is particularly true
of rolling fields where the tops and
sides of hills are practically bare.
There was a second general rain on
the 19th-22d, and litter one on the
3lst. These rains have been of great
immediate advantage, but heavy, soak
ing rains are yet decided to place the
ground in usually wet condition at the
opening of winter. The rains in Aug
gust, September and October were
more abudent in the northern counties
and wheat there is in fine condition.
OThe estimates indicate that the area
seeded to wheat this fall is six per cent
greater than in the fall of '96. The es-
timated excess in the southern counties
is four per cent, in the central six per
cent, and in the northern fifteen per
cent.
,-The total number Of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
since the October report was published
is | 1862 1863. and in the three months,
August, September and October, 5,597,-
995. This is 2,l9S,S2l bushels more
than reported marketed in the same
month last year.
The average yield of corn per acre
in the State is estimated at 81 bushels
of ears, equal to about 30 bushels of
shelled corn. The estimate for the
southern counties is 60, central, SO,
and northern, 81 bushels of ears, The
average for the State is three bushels
lower than made October l.
The area of clover seed harvested is
large, at least much larger than in any
late year, and the estimated average
yield higher than ever yet reported IN
the farm statistics The yield in the
State is estimated at l.92 bushels, in
the southern counties at 1.S7, central,
2.l6, and northern , bushels per acre.
Potatoes are estimated to yield in the
State GA per cent of an average crop.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed, when the languid ex.
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need Of
a tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely In
counteracting and freeing the system

The fishermen of Graceham have been un-

l write, yet we hope the intrusion will be
permitted, rs we cannot help but speak q
word of praise Of WayncsJoro, Pa, which
was the point of attraction last week to
many of our people from our eastern side OF
the mountains.
The ride on the carly trains through the
mountains could not but awake the feelings
of admiration of any and all who would rise
with the sun over its heighls, with still
greater admiration for the stirring little city
which lay on the western slope of this beau
tiful Blue Ridge range, gaily decked in Its
Centennial robe of varied colors. They
were gala days for Waynesboro and old
Prob seemed to have taken an interest and
did his best, even to sprinkling the town at
a proper time.
These people truly can feel proud of their
grand success, as only those, numbering
thousands, who have witnessed the work
they have done to make it such, can appre.
ciate.
The beautiful situation and environments
Of this little city, Its pretty homes, its bust
