Another meeting of the lease
holders of the Chickasaw nation
was held in the city hall last night,
Chairman ]. W. Gum presiding.
The members of the executive
committe were present.
A number of reports from va
rlous sections of the country were
received and read, and it was some
satisfaction to the executive board
to know that no member of this
club or league had been sued by
any citizen of the Territory for
possession of the land they were on.
Requests for organization were
presented from Simon. and from 4
community near Rolf.
1t was also a satisfaction to know
that the members here were work
ing together and depositing their
funds for united protection.
The next meeting has been set
for the 10Th instant.
1t is very evident that this body,
composed of the most intelligent
class of farmers in the country,
mean business and have their fiuger
on the trigger. Every move that
is made in the country is noted by
them. and every suit that is filed
by citizens for possession of lands
on which non-citizens are now re-
siding is closely watched.
They propose tn stay together,

viii Hiss the Ball.

j. II. Shannon, the genial young
cotton buyer who has charge of
Love & Thurmond's cotton bust
ness at Davis. came here last night
with the intention of returning to-
day. The train came in unawares
to him, however, and as it left the
platform Mr.. Shannon was at West
heimer & Daubes', coming on
double quick time. He ran coura-
geously to the track and then north d,
waving his hands excitedly, until
he passed the big water tank. The
traiu, some distance ahead, was
moving faster each second, and
further chase was abandoned. The
usual depot crowd, together with
the road officials, enjoyed the chase
and wildly cheered the runner.
Besides business engagements
that demanded his attention at
home, there is to be ball in Davif
tonight, and Mr.. Shannon was ex
tremely anxious to be there.

Scientific instruments show an increase
in the nine months in question of from
$3,O71, 75S to $4,75O,474; fiber manufac-
lures increased from $1,901, 165 to
$3,O49,957; chemicals, from $7,959,31S
to $9,674, 76O; parafine, from $5,O50,-
573 to $6,S74, 653; agricultural imple-
ments, from $6,632, 53S to $9,663, 1877;
leather and manufactures of, from
$17,OOs, 1896 to $40, 723, 432; copper, from
S26, 644, 957 to $40,59S, 800; and iron and
steel, from $67, 212,605 to $S6,912, 155.
Thus iron and steel, despite the enor-
nous advance in price, and despite the
prediction made when the increase be-
gan that this advance in price would
reduce expectations, continue to head
the list of manufactures exported, and
will surpass by more than twenty mill
ion dollars the enormous figures of last
year. They will show total consider
ably greater than 100 million dollars
for the years export trade in that sin
gle line Of manufacture.

South for Mckinley.

Charles Adamson, President of the
Southern Hosiery Yarn Spinners' AS
ISOLATION and cotton mill owner Of
Cedartown, Ga, believes that the re-
election of Mckinley will bring four
more years of prosperity. He says:
"a factor opening up to the cotton
manufacturer is the matter Of export
trade with the Philippines, and the
open door in China. Our country is on
the eve Of expansion in all lines Of
trade, and particularly in the cotton
trade. 1t will only stop when the cot
ton trade of the world is in the hands
of the American manufacturers, the
same asAthe iron trade is now. 1t be-
hooves the South to support the move
ments to extend this trade. 1t is posi-
Bile that some depression will show it.
self about the time of the Presidential
election, but that will be short. With
the reelection Of President Mckinley,
the country has a certainty Of four
more years Of prosperity. Our finances
are now on good basis, and, taking a
broad view Of the situation, I can see
no reason why the present prosperity
should not continue and form the
greatest period of success in manufac-
lures that America has ever SEEN"

A candidate for County Treasurer at

There is an active movement in Mis-
sissippi among the politicians toward
some measure for increasing the small
number of cotton mills in the State.
The voters at Beattie, Kan, who year
ago elected women to fill all the municipal
Offices, have turned them out because
they did what they promised to do before
they got in.

The Republicans of Idaho will hold

list, being several hundred thousand vot-

WINTER CROPS LOOK WELL.
Wheat Acreage Three and a Half Mil.

lions Less than in 1899.
Returns to the statistician of the De-
partment of Agriculture made up to May
l show the area under winter wheat in
cultivation on that date to have been
about 26,5S5,0OO acres, or 1868, 900
acres, or 11.S per cent, less than the area
estimated to have been sown last fall.
The reduction in acreage in the principal
States, owing to winter killing and the
ravages of the Hessian fly, is as follows:
Indiana, 1,6OS,OOO; Ohio, 100000; Mich
igan, 317 900; Pennsylvania, 15S 900, and
Illinois, $4,000 acres. For the area re-
naming under cultivation the average
condition on May 1 was $50.
The high averages of condition report
ed last month for Kansas, Missouri, Tex
as and other more or less important
wheat-producing States that have escap-
ed the ravages Of the fly have been fully
maintained, and on May 1 nearly one
half of the entire winter wheat acreage
remaining under cultivation reported a
full normal or still higher condition.
The average condition of winter rye on
May l was SS.5, as compared with S5.2
on May l, 1899; 94.5 on May /, 1898, and
1877, the mean of the May averages for
the last ten years. The average condi-
tion of meadow moving lands on May l
was 9O.S, against $40 on May /, 1899;
92.9 on May /, 1898, and 91.3 the mean
of the May averages of the last ten years.
The average condition Of spring pasture
was 91.3, against S3.5 on May /, 1899;
91.2 on May 1, 1898, and 900 the mean
of the May averages of the last ten years.
Spring blowing is more or less late in
almost every State in which it's conditions

sit Company's Lines

sIszSompany's Lines.
one OF the greatest strikes in the his
tory OF ST. Louis was inaugurated Tues-
day, when, in pursuance of action taLar
at mass meeting, 1926 EMPLOYEES Of tba
St Louis Transit Company quir worI,
to compel the acceptance Of their de-
mands previously formulated.
The salient features Of the mems do.
mands, which the transit company re-
FUSED to grant, are briefly as follows.
That all conductors, motormen. grinman
and all men employed in the sheds shall
De compelled to be members Of the union.
tnat the officers of the union. together
with the officers of the company. shah
nave full power to adjust all differences
that may arise, and that in the event
of their failing to agree, shall. if mutually
agreed to, place the case before three ar
Dltrators. mat any member suspended
by the union shall be suspended by the
company, without pay, until such time as
the union requests his reinstatement.
mat any man elected to an office in the
union requiring his absence for not more
than one year, shall, upon his retirement
from such office, have his old place with
the company.
Practically every car line in st. Louis
was tied up, The Suburban line. the only
one in the city not part of the extern
sive st. Louis Transit Company's sys-
tenn, ran cars for several hours, but later
was compelled to shut down, as their
men were pulled off the cars by strikers.
Despite the police there We're wild scenes
of disorder in the very heart of the bust
ness section. Motormen and conductors
were stoned and driven from their charge
while the passengers fed terrified and
preferred to join the big stream of pedes-
TRANS which poured in from every street
to the offices and stores. Mob violence
was not confined to the men alone Wom-
en- and children who sympathized with
the strikers hurled stones and epithets
of contempt at those who tried to handle
the cars.
Thousands of ST. Louisans suffered the
inconvenience Of not having transporta-
ton facilities. A majority walked to
work Wednesday, while others rode
wheels or pressed into use vehicles of ev-
cry description. Owners of wagons earn
ed many a dollar by transporting resi-
dents in the outlying districts. Down
town and on every street during the early
hours there was to be seen a constant
procession of nondescript vehicles. The
steam railroads entering the city from
the north, south and west helped out by
putting on additional trains and making
numerous stops.
The st. Louis Transit Company leases
and operates nearly all the street rail
road lines in that city. 1t has more than
300 miles of street railroad track under
it's control and it carries more than 1OO,-
OOO, 900 passengers a year. Practically
the entire population of St. Louis is de-
pendent upon it. Employed on their cars
and in the sheds the St. Louis Transit
Company had 5000 men, most Of whom
belonged to the Amalgamated Associa
ton of Street Car Employees.
