except under most unusual con-
ditions. The prosperity of the
farm cannot be measured by the
price of wheat, which is lower
than year ago, because condi-
tions affecting wheat are not the
same as a year ago. Coarse
grains are higher than a year
ago, due to conditions varying i'm
the opposite direction from a
year ago. These conditions have
to do with supply and speculative
conditions.
But when we reach the tests
that have to do almost entirely
with prosperity conditions, then
we see how the farmer has
profted with all tradesmen. The
agriculture! bureau has just COM
pleteda a statement showing the
value of live stock and farm
animals in the UnitedStates. It
develops that the value of these
has increased since Jan. 1, 1898,
the handsome sum of $108, 1885,
600. The total value is $780,
010, 4O7. The increased value re-
presents a gain of 5 per cent,
which is very much better than
depression. Horses are worth
nearly 10 per cent more than a
year ago. Three or four years
ago they were a drug on the
market; today horses are in de-
mand at good prices.
When we reach farm lands, a
notable increase in value is found,
especially in the northwest.
Statistics are not available, but
every farmer knows that his
land, if we'll located, is a good
price. 1t is saleable. This is be-.
cause good times have created a

There are farmers who are
apt to think that when prospect

affects favorably all lines except
their own. This is a mistaken
view from every standpoint; it is
not true in fact, and under the law
of values it could not well be,

During the past two weeks we
have noted in several exchanges
that some of the revenue officers
have been making life a burden
for certain dealers in gum and
like merchandise which requires
a revenue stamp on the box. and
an at the same time is required
to be sold from the box only.
Two cases at least have been
noted, one in Fargo and the other
Jamestown. The government
loses absolutely nothing by hav-
ing the gum placed in a show
case without the box, and reve-
nue. officers, are, perhaps, a little
too Jealous in causing trouble in
such cases. but the United States
laws say it shall be done, so that
ought to be sufficient.
AS Jhere is no telling where or
when these officers are liable to
make their appearance, this men
ton may prove significant to
several in Cooperstown while
there may be no real danger, still
it is always best to be on the safe
side and regard the laws in all
times with due respect.
just how the owners of slot
machines are going to get around
this difficulty is a question.
There seems to be no other
course open to them but to take
out the gum, for they are certain
ly disobeying the law in allowing
it to remain in the machine,
Thus far local dealers have not
been molested as they have IN
the two places mentioned above,
and tits to be hoped they will not.
AT any rate be prepared for them
at all times and you will be on
the safe side.

the engine of train No. flew in twain
and whirled around with terrific force,
playing havoc with that side of the
locomotive. 1t is a miracle that the
train held the track, as it was running
at no less than forty miles an hour,
and had reached a distance of two
hundred yards before stop could be
made. The running-board, which ex.
tends from the cab to the front part of
the boiler, was completely demolished,
and the windows on that side of the
cab were battered into small particles.
A large hole was cut into the exhaust
steam pipe, and boiler band was
mashed out of place. Though they
bravely stood at their posts, the en-
gineer and fireman escaped uninjured
The people who were at the depot
patiently waiting for the belated train
knew nothing of the accident until
they saw the conductor, accompanied
by number of passengers, walking
down the track. The crowd immedi-
etely comprehended the situation, and
rushed to the scene. Several attempts
were made to move the train by the
power OF one cylinder, but these proved
futile. The yard engine was there
upon sent for, and by it's aid No. 4
pulled into the station at about 1890.
There being no heavy engine at this
point at the time, the train was, held
over until No. 6 arrived, in order to

mounted white prayer book, the only
jewels worn being beautiful diamond
sun-burst, the gift of the groom, and a
crescent of pearls.
The maid of honor, Miss celia Asst,
of StauntOn, wore yellow taffeta and
