Missouri Pacific improvements.

Independence, June Pa great deal
of work is being done along the Verdi
girls Valley, Independence & Western
branch of the Missouri Pacific from
Osawatomie south to Van Buren, Ark.
and the road will be put in first-class
condition. A new device for ditching
which was invented by General Mana
ger Doddridge, of that road is being
run along the track to clean out the
bitches. Much of the track is being vir-
tually reconstructed and the sharp
curves are being Strengthened that
much better time can be made by the
trains on this road. The roadbed is also
being improved, and men are now at
work all along the line. This road was
built through here as a branch from
the main line at Osawatomie, but has
been extended south into Arkansas, and
the freight and passenger business over
it has assumed such proportions that
the road will practically be made a main
line

He said he had assumed the indebted
ness of the paper and he didn't know
how much it was, but that he just
agreed to assume it. He didn't know
anything about what he had owed since
on this account or the Cross & Martin
dale notes.
Mr.. Eskridge was asked to state
whether or not Cross and Martindale
and he had ever formally agreed to pro-
tect the notes signed ''Emporia Repub-
iican Printing company. ESkridge de-
MED that there was any such under
standing into which Martindale enter
ed. He was sure that Martindale hadn't
SO agreed. Then Lambert produced
paper written, apparently, in Eskridge's
own handwriting which was signed by
Martindale, Cross and Eskridge, agree
ing individually and collectively to pro-
tect a $4,000 note signed by the En-
poria Republican Printing company.
Eskridge admitted his signature and
that of the others, but denied that he
had written the instrument. Then he
said that he had forgotten all about it
and that the instrument was written
bY Cross.

ToDAY's MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, June 26.
WHEAT-Wheat was weak today on a
rather small amount of trading. There
was almost absence of support at first
and the continued heavy domestic receipts
was taken advantage of by bear traders
lower at 74Adssc. During the first half
hours trading the price declined slowly
but steadily, reaching 1880 before the
turn came. At the decline there was
ing a rally to 74Ac. But this buying soon
eased off. and before II o'clock September
sold off to 1910. Minneapolis and Duluth
receipts today were 981 cars, against SIS
cars last week and SO cars a year ago
Chicago receipts were 155 cars, Of con-
tract grade. Liverpool cables showed
1a@5sd decline at that market. The north
west said that the heavy receipts. which
have had such a depressing effect on
prices of late, would keep up for at least
a fortnight. A visible increase of about
a million bushels was looked for.
CORN-Corn was slow and weak. the
chief influence being the large receipts, l.
6a1 cars. Cables were slightly lover. and
long corn was forced out by the decline,
however. September opened &c lower
at SAC, declined to $3.50 and reacted to 81

PARIS AUTOMOBINE SHOW.
Five Million Dollars Worth of Horse
less Vehicles Exhibited

Paris, June 26.-AlI Paris is f1ockinS
to the automobile show in the Tuileries
Gardens. France is the home of auton-
Obilism, but the Variey and perfection
of the hundreds of cars of all sizes and
types on exhibition is a startling reve-
latiOn of the extent to which autOmO-
bilism has been adopted by French
men.
At a moderate estimate the cars ar
rayed here are worth S., 900, 600. They
range from $500 for motor tricycIes that
whirr round corners and dash so reck-
lessly in ever increasing numbers on
the bOulevardS to the beautifully decor
ated, perfectly equipped electric Ian
dau purchased from a leading maker
of electric motors for $12, 500 by Albert
Menier.
The automobile industry in France
today represents capital investment
of nearly 100000, employing more
than 100, 900 men. There is hardly
important engineering firm in the cOun-
try which is not directing it's energies
to the attention of some branch of
manufacture which Frenchmen believe
to be one of the greatest fOrtune-mak-
ing industries of the coming century.

United States circuit court is open for
the first time in three weeks.
Mr.. Sam Kimble, of Manhattan. was

yer, agent of the company. The suit
is brought by w. L. Hearne of Wheel
ing, w. Va, who asks for $4,000 dam
ages, for false imprisonment.
The suit grows out of the row be-
tween the Siegel-Sanders company, and
the c. P. Dewey Cattle company, of
Chicago, over the possession of a large
ranch in Rawlins county. oBth COM
panies turned cattle on to the ranch,
and a row betwee nthe cowboys of the
two companies resulted. Seventeen
perOsns persons were arrested and
thrown into Jail Jail, among whom was
Mr.. Herne, who was visiting friends in
Raw1ins county at the time. He asks
for 81 900 DANA ges for each day that he
was imprisoned.

TEXTILE SCHOOL SIGHTED.
Manufacturers Record.

Manufacturers Record.
After considerable discussion and
rivalry growing out of realization of
the benefits to a community of a textile
school, it seems now that the way is
open for the passage of Il bill by the
North Carolina Legislature for the es-
tablishment of such an institution in
that State, and it seems that it Will
take the form of department of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
For two years the question has been
vigorously agitated, supported by the
alumni of the Agricultural and Me
chanical College, and such bodies as the
Watauga Club and the Raleigh Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, and leading
citizens of the character of Mr.. ID. a.
Tompkins and others. Three bills were
introduced into the Legislature in behalf
of such a school. The author of one
bill, which was favorably reported, has
consented to substitute fog it what is
known as the Vance Textile School bill,
and this has been unanimously reported
favorably by the committee.
The point is now, that every one who
favors textile school should permit
no minor matters to interfere with the
prospects of its establishment. The
school is, in this day of increasing com
petition in the textile industry, practi-
cally necessity for the State. Prop
erly conducted and supported by the
State and by the people at large, it will
certainly rebound to the immense bene-
fit of North Carolina.

"DowN WITH THE TRUSTS"

John Temple Graves in Atlanta Journal
The day of Democracy will come.
Even now, under the surface of the
times, there are shaping the currents up
on which the great and understandable
party of the people will be returned to
power.
The Republican party is fattening upon
the laurels of the war-and it is also
splitting wide open upon the problems
that follow in its wake.
When in time these vexed issues are
settled, it will be found that the firm
stand of the Democracy has saved the
government from error and estrange-
ment, and held the republic fast to the
honor of its pledges and to the faith of
the fathers.
And when we come again inevitably
to the old battlefield of economics and
material development, let the party OF
the people come boldly out of the shad-
ows in which it has waited, and upon
the single, simple ringing platform OF
opposition to mailed and insolent trusts,
it will sweep the country and re-assumc
the reins of government.
And the platform should be brief and
single-minded. The people are tired of
platforms. They mock at them. They
are made to be broken.
The people are waiting to rally be-
hind Il shibboleth. They want a battle
cry--a hattlecry that will be brief and
thrilling.
What is better than
Down with the trusts
