AN OLD GAME.
Charles Dushaw Escaped From Officers
by jumping From Car Window.

Charles OushaM Escaped From Offlcers
by Jumping From Car Window.
Charles Dushaw, sentenced to two
months imprisonment in the house of
correction in Worcester, escaped from
Deputy Sheriffs Hamilton and Nugent
yesterday at Northbridge by the old
gold brick game of being allowed to go
into the toilet room on the car and
Jumping out Of the window while the
train was in motion. He belongs In
Blackstone, and was sentenced for
drunkenness, and on the way up won
the confidence of the two officials by
his good behavior.
They allowed him to go unattended
into the toilet room, and as soon as he
got inside he locked the door and
dropped out Of the window while the
train was in motion. The method of
escape used by Dushaw has been
worked successfully for years back by
criminals, and the officers claim that
they were onto the fact that the trick
could be turned easily enough, but
they supposed that Dushaw would not
attempt to do 1t, as he had light
sentence hanging over him.

THAT CHECK TAX.
Notice Received by
Worcester Bank
Officials.
CLEARING HOUSE IDEAS.
Prediction That New York
ers Will Back
Down.

1t is understood that before the plan
adopted by the Boston Clearing House
for the collection of country checks, is
formally adopted, it will be necessary
to amend the bylaws, and this, it is
expected, will be done at the annual
meeting. April 10th. If the plan is suo-
oessful it will be extended to include
the other New England states.
The following is the abstract of a
letter that has been received by the
bank officials of Worcester.
''Fo meet the certain objections and
requests it has been considered expe-
dent to modify the plan heretofore
suggested for system Of clearing New
England checks and to have all the
work done through the Boston clearing
house instead of through the CORES
pendent banks in Boston The COM
mittee therefore begs to ask if on re-
cefving from the manager Of the Bos-
ton clearing house in one letter, checks
on your bank received on deposit in
Boston banks. represented in the New
England clearing house, you will send
by return mail to the manager of the
Boston correspondent for the amount
Of such checks at par. 1t is thought
wise to begin this work with the state
Of Massachusetts and to add the other
New England states as soon a the new
system is working successfully
The New York clearing house pol
Icy, as has been already stated in The
Spy, received the severest condemnd-
Tim hara 1HhA q rpr1Jfl1aDt is Ynada both
here and in Boston that it not Only
tends to ALLEVIATE depositoTs, but gives
trust companies and private banks
that are not subject to the regulations,
opportunity to capture a considerable
part of the bank deposits by Offering
to collect all checks free. AS the COM
petition in this line Is strong, this is
an important factor.
1t is probable that the members Of
the Worcester Clearing House Asso-
citation will discuss the matter thor
oughly at their next meeting the lat
ter part of the present week. What
decision they may arrive at is beyond
speculation at the present time, as the
Worcester bankers are reluctant in ex-
pressing themselves. Without MAX
ing any statements Of definite belief,
however, they seem to lean to an opin-
Ton that the New York banks will be
forced to back down before the system
has fairly started.
The Philadelphia Clearing House As
ISOLATION practically has decided to
make no charge for collecting checAs
on out of town banks. This system,
begun in New York city, was taken up

1t would seem that the American
Cotton Company has bought space III
nearly all the weekly newspapers pub
lished in the cotton growing states
Some of these papers, however, are
~apologizing for the appearance Of such
matter in their columns. For example
the editor of the Monroe Advertiser Of
Forsyth, Georgia, in a recent issue,
expresses in this language his disap-
prevail of this apparent attempt to con-
troll public sentiment in favor Of the
round bale.
OUR ROUND BALE ADVERTISE
MENT."
I'm another column will be found an
advertisement of the round bale cotton
press.
We sell our advertising space but re-
serve our judgment and good will.
I'm our judgment our farmers should
not use or patronize this round bale
cotton press.
Our good will cannot go to a combine
that seeks to squeeze the man who fur
nishes cotton at five cents a pound to
clothe the world. We are glad to note
that the round bale has found little
favor this year, but we trust the friends
of the square bale will not permit the
trusts to gain an advantage for the
next season.
we believe the square bale is the
best and most economical and will whip
the fight on it's merits, but aside from
the merits of the case, our farmers can
not handicap themselves in a race for
a living by a yearly tribute of $40, 000,-
000.00 for the privilege of wrapping their
staple in the round bale"

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one Of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w.
Va, struck his leg against a cake of
ice in such a as to bruise it
severely. 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid Of clutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds Of liniment and two
and a half gallons of whiskey in bath
ing it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in a weeks time and he believes
tina had he not used this remedy his
leg would have had to be amputated.

The Lowry Press,

The Lowery press has been before
the public for some time and no small
effort has been made to bring it into
general use. One was used here for a
while, but it did not give satisfaction
and was put aside.
No matter what the merits of this
press may be, wewould be glad to see
it fail it everywhere, as long as the
methods to introduce it are pursued.
Where you are not allowed to own and
use a thing, but must pay a royalty on
the use of it, hen it is better to let
that thing alone. Paying royalties on
the use of a cotton press is another
shrewd, cold, calculating scheme to
grind the farmer, and We hope that the
farmers and those who are interested
in the welfare of h farmers will never
consent to p~atronize any company who
make or handle a machine which is
worth so much to them in royalties or
rentals that they cannot afford Ito sell
it and allow Those who use it to own
it.-Greenewood Journal.

ed steady 5 to 7 points higher, on better
cables than expected, which led to live
scrambling by shorts to cover and
stimulated investment buying. Prices
advanced steadily and closed firm, IS
points net advanced for the day. Liv-
erpool futures closed 3 points net ad-
vance, and spots sales were 10000 bales
at 1-16d higher. The unexpected
strength of L~iverpool's market and the
efforts of spot dealers who are heavily
short of near months to cover, helped
by good investment buying, was re-
SpOnslble for today'S advance. Spots
are generally firm unchanged to Bc
higher. Those who expected h mar
ket to smash under liquidation during
the past few days appear to think now
it is useless to attempt to STAN the bull
tide and were the heaviest buyers and
look for steady advance in prices We
recommend those who are heavily long
to make use of the advance to lake
profits as occasional reactions will af-
ford them an opportunity to reenter.
S. MUM, SON & co.
(By Associated PreSs.)
New York, October 1S.-The main
phases of the days cotton market were
mainly bullish. To begin with, .specu-
latiOn was on a much broader scale
than in everal weeks with the invest
ment public substantially represented.
The cables reflected strong and advanc-
ing market for futures, spot cotton
and cotton goods throughout Europe.
The statistical situation in this country
was a supporting factor. The demand
for raw cotton reached an almost IN
precedented volume at all points, and
h crop movement fell short of off,
cial estimates. The array of bulliSh
influences diSheartened the majority
Of h bear traders and led to a lively
run to cover. AT the same time the
investors were prompted to take a fresh
hold n h SouthernerS to hedge
against short sales in spot cotton fu-
tureS-Jannary and later deliveries.
Except for an occasional setback Of a
point or two under p~rofit-taking, the
course of prices from start TO finish
was steadily upward. On theS opening
an advance Of 5 to Z points was scored.
By midday this improvement had
been increased to 9 to 10 and, later in
h day, the highest point was reached
when prices showed an advance OF 10
points. The close was steady at a net
rise of 16 to 19 points.
