ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Proper and Advantageous Way {"
Sch Farm Products.

The independent shippers OF grain to
Minneapolis and Chicago begin to re-
allie that they have n common obstacle
to surmount. The professional grain
shippers over a dozen big states trib-
utary to these points number an army.
Many of them have grown rich from
the farmers wagons by q twenty i've
years stay Mt their stations. Some OF
them have private banks, some have
bought farms, all are prosperous.
This house has not word against
these people. 1t is not doing business
with them. 1t Is doing business with
an army Of farmers. 1t has given pro-
ducers the best practical help since the
railroads made the big central mar
kets possible If ten thousand farmers
have discovered that they have no fur
Their use for one thousand country
grain buyers, they have per- =
feet right to so past them, fill their
own cars and ship their own grain.
Many years ago farmers discovered
that the old reaper aud the old double
shovel onc-horse corn cultivator were
too slow. They left them in the fence
corners and bought improved machin-
cry. The manufacturers did not kick.
They met the demand with self-bind-
ers and riding sullly plows. The world
has grown tired Of many cl& things.
The farming world is getting EtrH-i of
paying others to do what il can 90 it
self. If farmers wish to desert the To-
cal shippers (who may have been need
ed forty years ago., no amount Of
mulishness on the part of the ship
pers can stop them. Grain shippers
nave an organ to keep up their cour-
age. Their publication has again filled
it's columns with abuse of the farmers
commission house. 1t is a case of sore
tee. They howl because they are hurt.
The farmers understand this sort Of
warfare made on the house which has
rut them in touch with Minneapolis
and Chicago. Their letters to us show
that they believe this fact, viz, that if
there is enough in grain shipments to
fight for, the farmers want that mar
gin. All that is now needed to spread
direct shipments is some we'll devel-
oped opposition. Farmers are in a
frame Of mind to do about as they
please this year. We welcome any
fair and honorable attention from the
laid organs Of grain shippers, and will
see that it's attacks are we'll spread be-
fore independent shippers and in.
dependent thinkers in q thousand
farming communities. We have as
surances that our efforts in behalf
Of farmers will be fully appreciated
and reciprocated. Any man or any
house may be glad of fair criticism
from tile enemy with such an army at
it's back; but unjust, malignant at

flying and injuring us, are different

CHAPTER VIII.

|
Mrs Ratten Gets n New ledger.
For several hours after Josiah Sktn-
ner had left her, Zana sat staring into
the fire as though the warmth Of the
glowing embers could pass through her
eyes and so thaw her frozen heart.
! She was trying to think, to realize
| what Ernest's desertion meant to her,
| to decide upon some course of action.
| But she could not Her brain seemed
numbed and incapable of travelling be-
| yond the one deadly fact that her
| lover had, for the second time, aban-
doned her
The entrance of a servant with after
noon tea at length aroused her from
this state Of dreamy stupor; and, with
| the awakening, came a sudden impulse
| to quit her present abode. 1t was some
| how borne in upon her that, whatever
her future plans might be, they would
no longer include the supervision Of
Mrs. Baxter.
II wish to have my bill this even
| ing If you please" she told the ser
want
Certainly, MISS" was the reply.
| Zana drank some Of the tea and
| then followed Mr.. SINNERS advice by
going out for a walk. But somehow
she felt weak and unequal to the task
of walking An omnibus, labeled Ham
mersmith, halted close by. She no.
| ticed that several ladies were seated
upon the roof. doubtless for the sake
of fresh air. This she also needed, and
she, too, would ride on the roof. Per-
haps the fresh air and the novelty Of
the ride would help to clear her poor,
clouded brain. Certainly, anything
was better than to sit brooding over a
fire in the hotel.
It is long drive from Charing Cross
to Hammelsmith. The unwonted sights
and sounds around her resulted in d.
yerting Zana's mind, for the time at
least, from the full depth of her mis-
cry; and by the time the omnibus
reached it's destination she had some
what regained the power Of thought.
She ascertained that she could re-
turn to Charing Cross by another bus
I'D to late hour, and then, obeying
some wandering instinct, she walked
down quiet-looking side street to
think out the problem Of her future
movements. What was she to do:
Where was she to go? Return to Bom-
bay4 Never! Her father would spurn
her from his door as an outcast, if, in
deed, he did not Stay her in the first
heat of his wrath. She must have
time to think this matter out land
meanwhile her first care must be to
secure lodging of some sort to which
she might retire after quitting the
hotel.
Upon the windows Of many Of the
houses she saw cards announcing
Apartments to Let" Hammersmith
was a distant, out-of- the-way region;
why not engage rooms in one Of these
houses? She selected one, almost at
random land knocked ut the door,
which was opened by the landlady her.

hemence, and, looking the astonished
cashier squarely In the face, gravely
remarked:
'crhen you may inform your manager,
with my compliments, that the man
who called here was not Ernest Norton
ut ALL!
He scarce paused to note the effect
of his startling words upon the aston
ished cashier, whom he left literally
open-mouthed with amazement. IT
these bank people wanted any further
information they might obtain 1t by
calling in Exeter street. AS for HIM
self, his course was now sufficiently
plain. The case had now passed be-
yond the province Of mere private in
quiry: for, not alone had Ernest Nor
ton disappeared, but some one had per-
sonated him at the bank. The person
ator, whoever he might be, must not
alone be man of extraordinary au-
dacity to palm himself off in a bank as
a client, whom he In no wise resepblad,
but he must furthermore have felt
perfectly secure Of any Interference
from the real Ernest Norton.
Josiah, my lad, you've been bark
Ing up the wrong tree" soliliquized
Mr.. Skinner. "It Is the clean-shaved
man. with the piercing grey eys, who
holds the threads Of this little mystery.
He'll have to be found before Mr.. Nor
ton will be heard Of; and although the
Job of hunting him down would be very
much to your taste, I'm afraid you'll
have to pass it over to the Scotland
Yard people"
Should he tell Zana? No; not yet, at
all events. Better she should deem her
lover faithless than get the idea into
her head that he had been the victim
of foul play. And so, out of real kind
ness, Josiah resolved to keep out of her
way for time.
He was, Of course, well known to the
authorities at Scotland Yard ;indeed,
he had served on the regular detective
force for upward Of twenty years. He
had therefore, no difficulty In gaining
immediate access to the chief of the
department and so letting loose the en-,
tire pack of detective sleuth-hounds
upon the trail Of the clean-shayen man
with the piercing eyes.

A singular elopement, with alleged
hypnotism as it's foundation, was dis
closed before Magistrate Jermon at the
central police station Philadelphia the
other day.
Joseph Daniels, a middle-aged col
ored man with flowing Dundreary
whiskers, had a hearing and was held
without bail for trial for having eloped
from Baltimore to Philadelphia with
pretty Sallie Johnson, aged IS, a petite
Baltimore girl, whom Daniels had en-
ployed in his oriole city music store.
Sallie said at the hearing that Dan
iels "had some influence over her which
she could not explain" so she yielded
when a week ago he told her to tell her
mother he was about to give the girl a
position in a new music store in Phila-
delphia. Thus the ill-mated pair
eloped to the Quaker city.
They were quickly followed by

girls uncle. who has turned prosecutor.

eighth of a cent a pound is justif-

WHEAT AMI SILVER.

Republican newspapers are max
ing merry over the decline IN the
price Of silver.
As the white metal is the pro
duct of industry by citizens of this
country, the republican editors are
not showing much public spirit
when they rejoice in its decline in
price. According to their theory
silver ranks with iron and copper
as a commodity. Would these
same facetious gentlemen congra-
tulate themselves and their read
ers on a slump in the price of iron
and copper?
On the other hand, there is much
rejoicing over the rise in the price
Of wheat. This is a cause for con-
gratulatory remark, and there is no
man in this country who will ex-
press any other sentiment. But
the goldites seem to think that
there are those who regret this in
crease.
Speaking of this matter the New
York Herald says: "Compared
with this date three years ago,
wheat has risen nearly 50 per cent
while silver is lower. ''Verbum
sap" The implication is that BIZ
metallists are foolish enough to be-
lieve that the law of supply and
demand has ceased to exist. Sill
yer has deprecated because it has
been leglslated against and dlshon-
ored. Wheat has appreciated be-
cause there is a short crop of this
cereal abroad and the demand is
proportionately increased. Wheat
is not legislated against. Markets
are opened, not closed for it.
Open the minis to the free coinage
of silver; abrogate the laws dis
eliminating against the white
metal; place it even on the same
basis with wheat and see where
the price will 60.

THE SITUATION.

The New York World has made
inquiry among the large cities Of
the country with aview to ascertain
ing to what extent the "wave OF
prosperity" is waving therein and
comforting it's blessings on the COM
mon people. Here are some Of
the answers to the Worlds in
quiries:
"Fifty thousand idle in Philadel-
phia."
"Twenty-five thousand unem-
ployed in Buffalo,
Labor market o~vercrowded in
Indianapolis"
"Labor conditions deplorable in
San Francisco"
"Woeful reports from Connecti-
cut"
"Many idle in Rhode Island"
"Better times expected in Ken
lucky"
"Worst since the panic of 1873
in Boston,
|'Not so bad in Kansas"
ono improvement in Denver"
"Good outlook at New Orleans"
"Distinct improvement in Ne
braska."
1t will be observrd that "better
times are expected in Kentucky"
a state that declared for Mckinley.
1t will also be observed that Louis
ana, where there is a "good out

ed for William Bryan.
