,JimInez and His ,yerseys,

Cardo Jiminez is a man of excellent
judgment in some respects. Like
everybody else he has had his mis-
fortunes. and he would have been
better off if he had stuck to fine live
stock and agriculture. Jiminez for
merly lived in New York and his faith
er was at one time president of San
Domingo. So it is not strange that
he should want to put himself in
Heureaux's place. While in custody
of the United States Jiminez has time
to think of his bargains in Jersey cat
tie. During the past few years he
has bought some % head of these
favorites of the Richardson Bros,
Davenport. They have been sent to
him in six shipments at his home i'll

Trusts and What They Do.

The Keokuk Constitution-Democ
asserts:
There is a great denand for iron
and steel products, and the steel trust
is unable to supply the demand. Con-
sequently prices have doubled, and
the steel trust, working at its full
capacity, is reaping a rich harvest.
How comes it that new steel plants
are not established to fill the demand
for their products? Simply because
the steel trust owns or controls every
considerable iron mine in the country.
No extra mine ore is mined by the
trust. Enough is taken out to ill the
mills of the combines, and no more.
This being the case, no new steel
plants can be established. for their
managers could not secure material to
work with
In discussing this economical ques-
tion, the New York Journal says:
There would be no scarcity of
mills and no scarcity of iron produc-
ton were it not for the control of the
iron output by the trust. Active
competition would hold prices at their
proper level, as well as equalize the
supply and demand. II is known that
the profits of the trust are fully 100
per cent. In six months they have
increased the price 1851, and the
price of steel billets from $14.93 to
5000. At 100 per cent profit, the
limited number of mills allowed by
the trust are running "a hours daily.
There are mountains of almost pure
iron ore in Missouri and Arkansas.
There are millions of tons of the i'm
est ore in the Superior region. There
is fabulous amount of ore in Cuba,
but all of it4 from Lake Superior to
Santiago, is controlled by the trust,
and in order to maintain prices it is
fed to the worlds consumers in hom-
eopathic doses. through homeopathic
mills. This is a practical illustration
of how the trusts kill competition and
rob the consumer, and vet the repub-
licau party upholds, fosters and pro-
tects the trusts"

late Col. Koiner, of Fishersville, died
at the home of Col. w. H. Cline, on the
morning of the 9th of October, in the
18th year of her age, and was buried

This devout Christian was a men,
ber of the Lutheran church, and a
daily reader of the Bible and prayer
book-upon whose sacred pages she
loved to dwell. Gods word was her
life and light, and although confined
to her room and bed for the past eight
months, she daily read the Holy Bible;
she had read the Old Testament
through AZ times and the New Testa-
ment 36 times, yet to her the old book
was ever new. Every day she found
new joy, new blessings hid within its
pages. Thus ended the life of fol-
lower of the meek and lowly Jesus.
Ripe in years and rich in Gods bless
ings, she has crossed the dark, dark
river and joined the hosts on yon dis
tant shore.-Culpeper Enterprise.

The Coming Winter.

A weather prophet predicts that the
coming winter will be a mild one for
the following reasons: 1.-THE husks on
the corn are thinner than usual, and
this is taken as sure Indication of
warm weather until late in the winter.
Birds that go south with the first ap
proach of winter have. begun repairing
their nests built this spring, showing
that they will stay in this region until
late in the fall The fur of the chip
munk and squirrel, which is heavy just
previons to a hard winter, is found to
be thin.''
In addition to this, on our own ac-
count, we notice that persimmons are
scarce. some trees having no fruit at
all. Coon grapes. however, are plenti-
full. The mast in the woods is not
great and nature seems to have made
light provision for the birds and
beasts.
