CURED at the companys factory last
summer. The fireworks trade has also
been depressed for some months past
The amount of the liabilities is stated
to be about $4,000, with assets which
are believed to fully cover the indebt
edness if carefully handled. Mr.. Pain
stated that the company was compelled
to file the assignment owing to the
threatened action of certain creditors
who sought to obtain preferences by
suit, his desire being that all creditors
should share alike. because he felt
confident that the company would
come through all right and without
loss TO any of the creditors"
The company was incorporated in
March, 1898, with a capital stock of
100000, which was reduced to S135,O00
in September, 1896. Henry j. Pain, the
president, has been in the fireworks
business for fifteen years.

SHORTAGE OF CARS IN WEST.
Kansas Farmers Complain of Delay in
Handling the Big Corn Crop.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. ia delegation
of farmers waited upon the railroad
managers today and declared they
must have more cars to ship their corn
to eastern markets. This delegation
was told that the railroads cannot get
the cars. The situation is serious. At
a time when the farmers Of Kansas
alone have over 225, 100000 bushels Of
corn to sell, and with an increased de-
mand for American corn in foreign
countries, they feel that a great in
justice is being done to them.
It is estimated that this years out
put of corn in the five great corn"
states of the west will be 100000, 600
bushels. The crop will be at least one
third greater than that Of 1898, and
traffic officials say that the railroads
will be unable to provide as many cars

Fate of a Negro Who Gave the Big

Rochester, n. Y, Dec. ia report
has reached this city that William
Cleggett, formerly steward of the

killed in Jacksonville. Fla, by an ele-
plant which was part of the streets of
India, which exhibited at the Elks fair

show left this city Cleggett went with
it. The story is to the effect that Cleg-
gett gave the elephant some tobacco.
This angered the big animal and two
days later he broke his chain, and
throwing his trunk around Cleggett,
raised him in the air and threw his
body to the ground with such force that
his life was crushed out. Cleggett was
a negro about thirty-five years of age
and was well known in this city. He
has a sister living here.

RICE MILL COMBINE.
Capitalists Secure Options on Various
Plants in the Louisiana Field.

New Orleans, La, Dec. ia rice
mill combine or trust is being organ
lied here. The money comes from New
York capitalists, who have secured
ninety-day options on a majority of
the rice mills here and will bid for the
others. There are thirteen rice mills
with a capacity of II, 700 sacks, which it
is proposed to get into the combine.
No action has yet been taken as to the
mills in the country, but it is under
stood that they also will be brought
into the combine. These are twelve in
number, six in Calcasieu, five in
Acadia and one in Vermillion parish
with a capacity of $500 sacks.
If the combine succeeds in getting
control of the Louisiana rice market,
which is the largest in the country, it
will extend it's operations to South

tiers.

The Twentieth Century.

Lest anyone be tempted to follow
the saddcning example OF an esteemed
contemporary, which joyously pro-
claims this as the last year of the CEN
fury, let it be understood for once for
all that this not the last, but The next
to the last, year of the century. The
first year OF out reckoning of time was
not completed until the 31st of Dec
emi'er al he year /. The first decade
we n'h ci Sod until the last day of the
te.til .r.'r; he first century was not
flushed and lied away for historic re-
ference un. the last day of the Tooth
year. The second century, therefore,
began Jan. |, lO1, or just 100 years
after tie yc..r began. The twentieth
century begins on the first day of the
year 1901, ard the nineteenth century
does not pass into history until the
las. day OF tho year 1900.
Which, Is al easy to remember if
one only keeps in mind that beginning
of the 99th yer only SO years have
actually elars d. When the Tooth
wear has expired, or midnight on Dec.
31th, 1900. the new century will bee in,
and not until then--Olympian.

The TOrrens law will again be submit
ted to the legislature for the establish
ment of that system of registering and
transferring land titles, which would
greatly simplify and cheaper transfers.
Under it land owner has his title ex-
amined by the recorder of deeds and a
certificate is issued to the effect that
the owner has clear title. After a
period of five years this title cannot
be attacked in the courts.
Transfers of registered land are
made in the following manner: The
owner executes the usual deed and
submits it, together with his certificate
of title, to the buyer. In every trans
action the owner must produce his
certificate of title. The buyer after
inspection of the proper folium of title
in the register, pays over the purchase
money and receives the deed and GER
tificate of title. He then delivers both
to the register, who notes the transfer
upon the register. This act opera ties
to transfer the title.
A mortage of registered land is
effected in somewhat the same manner.
The insecurity of the present system
is largely due to the fact that since up-
on each transfer the title must be
traced back 10 the government, there
can be no restln such searches, and
error in their making is possible. By
| the Torrens system the title is rested
or quoted by law at each transfer.
Furthermore the expense of abstracts
of title is avoided, which would grow
greater as the country grows older and
transfers multiply.

HatcherieS Liable to Fail.

The following report of the affairs
as the Chinook hatchery either through
carelessness or stupidity, shows that
the preservation of the fish we have, is
necessary as we'll as more hatcheries:
Chinook, Wash, Jan. 5.-As the
facts become known regarding the in
side management of the state fish
hatchery at this place, whereby some
100000 young salmon were allowed
to perish through the stupidity or
careIessness of the officials under Coy.
Rogers fish commissioner, public sem
timent runs high. The conduct OF
the hatchery since Commissions r
Titles appointment has not been very
flattering. The facts as to the cause
OF the recent disaster which ruined the
work of seasons are as follows: w.
B. Donaldson was appointed to the
position of superintendent. His wife
took suddenly i'll in Chicago, and he
Was summoned to her bedside. Depu-
ty Fish Comm issioner Butts was left
ii charge of the hatchery, and instead
OF remaining at his post of duty he
left the building and spent his nights
at a hotel. 1t now appears that Butts
made an erroneous statement to Little
OF the amount of fish put in for hatch
cry purposes. He simply guessed at
the number, $500, when as a matter of
fact he did not have one-fourth of that
amount. Little ordered pipe line
LAID to bring water to the hatchery,
which line has proven failure. DON
aldson and Butts cid the work of
experimenting the job. The pipe line
cost 81 300.
The manner in which Butts superin-
tended putting in the fish proved a
fiat, dismal farce, so much so that
there has been no fish to spawn for the
hatchery. Commissioner Little has
been heralding through the press the
great amount of fish he has been
Matching at Chinook. His claims are
absurd.
An effort will be made to stop Little s
confirmation by the senate on the
ground of incompetency. Regardless
of what Mr.. Little or his deputies may
claim, there are not to exceed 100000
young fish in the hatchery, outside of
the 100000 brought from California,
and by the time the fish are all Matched
there will be great deal less. Little
claimed something like million young
fish would be turned out.
Little has removed Donaldson, and q
| man from the Kalama hatchery has
been substituted. Donaldson is trying
to get his place back by petition.
! Butts is really the man to blame for
not looking after the water supply,
which caused the loss.
