Is no wonder the market is most fever
ish
There is every inducement to be on the
bull side of such a market, as a serious
drop in values is most unlikely, and fu-
ture events may send prices far above
those now ruling.
Should our farmers be able to dispose
Of 200.000,000 bushels of wheat at 81 to
$1.26 per bushel, and of larger volume
of corn at So to 40 cents, the result must
be flush times in America and later on a
boom in Southern California, which will
mean much to our farmers, merchants,
capitalists and SPECTATORS.

A Sailors Story

SAN FRANCISCO, August 24.-Chas
Benjamin, sailor, was arrested today
on board the barkentine Irmgard upon
suspicion of having caused the death OF
First Mate August johnson Of that ves-

day. The two men left the Folsom-street
bulkhead in a yawl to go on board the
vessel, which was lying in the stream,
but nothing more was heard Of the boat
until this morning, when Benjamin
reached the ship alone, with a strange
story of having been unconscious all
night and not knowing what had hap
pened meanwhile. The missing mate

ashore, but appeared to be on the best OF

The Glucose Trust

NEW YORK, August 24.-One Of the
good things for the organizers of trusts
is the new glucose trust. The quotations
on its shares on the street have reached
such point that holdings now represent
almost double what they cost less than
a month ago. At the present figure an
investment of $40, 900 when the trust was
formed cleared exactly $S,1S7 for pre-
ferred 92A and common at 81.
In another week or so the shares will

A NEW DISCOVERY IN LOGIC

That something new in the process of
ate no surprise, for in the scientific world
there are new discoveries nearly every
day, in electricity, chemistry and light
1t is an era of progress and development,
and why should there not be advance
ment in the field of mind in the laws of
mental philosophy, and those which re-
late to cause and effect? We have a
new discovery in this field, a hitherto
unknown priciple in logic. This principle
IS the discovery of the McKinleyites, the
Dingleytes and the other ties who think
that public policies control even the laws
of nature.
On every street corner they are saying
with gusto "the price of wheat has gone
up and the price of silver has gone down.
Didn't we tell you the election of Nc
Kinley would bring prosperity? Here
it is upon us; the price of wheat has
gone up"
Thus it is that the supporters of the

act as if the election of Mckinley had
had the effect to blast the wheat crops
to serious or partial extent in India
Australia, the Argentine Republic, Rus

countries, and that the pendency of the

GOOD CHANCE TO MAKE AN
EXAMPLE

The notorious Four Hundred saloon,
at the corner of Fourth and Main streets,
to which The Herald has called attention
on several occasions, is again in trouble,
and the proprietor has been hailed be-
fore the police commission to show
cause why his license should not be re-
voked. It appears that there was a
fight in the saloon about half past one
o'clock last Sunday morning, and an
officer sent there to quell the disturb
ance reported that while the front doors
were locked he could easily determine
that there was a crowd inside and he
was satisfied that business was being
transacted, for he heard the rattle Of
the cash register.
If the officer had been UP to the ways
Of this wicked world he would have
walked into the so-called lunch stand
on the side and then through an open
door provided expressly for the accom-
modation of customers after the regula-
ton hour of closing The officer approved
himself too innocent or too timid by
half, and for his failure to perform a
plain duty-either to go through the side
door already open or to enforce an en-
trance through the front door-he was
very properly cited before the board to
make explanations on his own account.
The police commission is winning
golden opinions for it's thoroughness and
fearlessness in handling propositions of
to the end in putting a stop to the viola
tions Of law that have been hitherto toll
Grated and even winked at by the police.

welfare Of the country through which the
road passes. The two interests are
wrapped up in each other in such man
rer that they are mutually affected by
the conditions that arise from time to
time. So these opinions have double
weight
Chairman Walker made many valua-
BILE suggestions, but none perhaps was
more important than that which urged
more harmonious methods and more
united action in pressing in the eastern
states the Introduction of our California
products. 1T is a lack of acquaint-
ance," he says. rather than lack of de-
mand, which makes their sale difficult
You have many special productions
which would be readily accepted if only
buyer and seller might be brought to-
gether."
The next question is, how shall buyer
and seller best be brought together?
Colonel Walker says it does little good,
apparently to merely establish eastern
agencies. They do not reach the buy
ers and 1t Is the buyers that must be
reached. So he suggests that exhibits,
upon the plan Of our local chamber of
commerce be placed in Chicago. Boston,
New York, Philadelphia and other cities
where the consumers we wish to reach
reside. If this plan cannot be adopted
for all the cities let 1t be tried for one.
A small but carefully selected perma-
nent exhibit would demonstrate the eX-
istence Of many desirable articles of
which the consuming public is now en-
tirely ignorant.
This suggestion Is right in line with
the assertion Of The Herald touching
upon the home products question. to the
effect that in order to sell goods the
people must first be made acquainted
with their merits, and the only way to
make them acquainted is to advertise
them in such ways as may seem best.
1t is to be hoped that Colonel Walkers
suggestions will fall on fruitful soil.
Then, If they are properly cultivated,
they will produce big crop.

Two Newspaper Men Liable TO shoot Holes
in Each Other on Sight.
The Hopkinsville Banner and the
Elkton Times have for some time
been engaged in hot controversy
which gradually became personal
Last week it assumed a lurid hue and
the Banner lambasted Editor l.. j.
Oldham, of the Times, in a very per
sonal style, abusing him by name and
making some very serOns charges
against the big editor of the Demo
cratic organ of Todd county.
When the paper reached EIktony
Mr.. Oldham at once hunted up MIR.
Lowry, the Banners Elkton CORE
spondent, and charged him with the
responsibility of the vicious assault
made upon his character.
Lowry vehemently denied this, but
was not quick enough to escape vic.
lence at the hands of Mr.. OLDHAM
who was subsequently fined IN the
police court for breach of peace. He
finally satisfied Mr.. Oldham that he,
did not write the article, aud on bhe'
angry editors demand furnished him,
with the name of Editor l.. o. Brum-
field as the author of the Banner's of
fensive editorial. Mr. Lowry has
notified Mr.. Brumfeld that Mr.. Old
ham is on the warpath and trouble
may be expected when Mr.. Oldham
makes his regular visit to Hopkins
Vile, which is due about this time in

As Mr.. Oldham is a bad man TO
stir up and Mr.. Brumfeid is himself
not lacking in courage, as shown by
the vigorous way in which he writes,
it is more than likely that serious
trouble, if not bIoodshed, will grow
