Some interesting figures as 10 the pro
portion Of farmers boys among college
students have been gathered BY the
American Agriculturist. II has returns
from IT'S universities and colleges re-
porting an attendance Of go, 900 students
out ola total Of 81 900 in all tho higher
educational institutions Of the oountry.
In its analysis Of the figures the Agri;
eulturist reduces the number Of students
considered to a little under 81, 900. for
some unexplained reason. excluding, it
says, few city colleges. like Harvard.
Pratt Institute. University Of Rochester
Fish University. aud others. Out Of
this total Of about 1000, il fiuds that
nharly 81 900 are from the agricultural
classes. OF a percentage Of 40.2 from
the farm. This percentage varies large
" 10 different sections Of the country.
It is so 0 in the South, 45.s in the far
West, 400 in the Central West. 20. 1
10 the Middle States, and 30 l in New
England SIN no other nation will any
such condition be found" comments the
Agriculturist. at is a wonderful tri-
buto to the general intelligence Of our
American farmers families, and to the
high hopes and deep aspirations Of their
sons and daughters. This exhibit adds
nightly to the dignity Of agriculture,
at least in the eyes Of the masses in
other yocstiOns.

plies from each which showed thai
the SAID company was not corpora
ton. The Independent was furaish-
I'd this information, and several DAYS
since announced to the public that
MIR. Mickey was practicing decep-
ton. The above named gentleman
admitted Monday at the council
meeting that he was not certain
whether or not the company is in
cOrporated. Yet Notwithstanding
the facts brought out which would
cause any ordinary man to hesitate,
the majority rushed pell-mell and
ordered the mayor to sign up the
contract on behalf of the city, ut
terly ignoring the words of precau-
ton on the part of the city attorney
and numerous taxpayers.
SO far as the course of the indie
pendent is concerned, it has been
victorious with the people, as more
than 95 per cent. are with it. This
fact is shown by the petition signed
by 800 business men asking that the
council contract for all-night light
tract contemplated at the previous
meeting. If this petition had been
granted, the former action of the
council would have been rescinded.
The fact that practically every bust
ness man in The city signed the pc
tition shows conclusively that the
people believe i'll fair play and have
almost to man stood behind the
Independent in its efforts for Justice.
The Independent has seen public
sentiment advance with it in every
move it has made, but it comedies its
inability to bring councilmen to its
way of thinking who take their cue
from inspiration rather than public
sentiment. Be it remembered that
these are the men who acknowl-
edged the public no consideration in
the letting of the electric contract:
Mayor Jones, Aldermen Leonard,
Dickinson and Morris.

The Chicago Record suggests as
Il means of holding the trusts in
check, that congress levy a tax or
their capital. 1t further suggests
that this tax be graduated so as to
fall lightly on the small, Legitimate
companies, and that on the large
combines it be made heavy enoug h
to squeeze all of the water out of
their stock. The indianapolis Senti-
mel concurs in this proposition, de-
claring it to be entirely practicable
and the proper method of proceed
ing to deal with them. A goodly
number of "trust remedies" will
doubtless be brought to public at
tention during the next few weeks,
and it is not improbable that from
among the entire list one or more
may be found feasible and equal to
present requirements.

for months from that frightful disease,
cancer. 1t began on the Low er lip about
two years ago. and the nature of the
disease not being suspected it was per
mitted to extend beyond the line of
surgical aid. The entire left side of his
neck and chest was eaten out, and a
few days before death liberation ex-
tended into the gullet so far that what
he would attempt to swallow would es-
cape by the liberated opening. The
funeral, at Popular Grove, on Monday
was largely attended. He was ABOUT &C
