OBITUARY.
JOHN FRANKLIN pINcuor.

John franklin Pinchot, whose
funeral took place here on Sunday
last, spent most of his life in Milford
where he was born and where he
was for many years familiar figure.
He was the youngest living son
of the late Cyril e. d. Pinchot, who
came from France in the early part
of the century, sooD after the battle
of Waterloo. He was for many
years associated in business with his
father after whose death he took full
charge of affairs until his health
failed about three years ago. Since
then he was most of the time away.
from home, first at the SanitariGm
at Horhellsville and later at Canaan
daigua, where he died During his
absence he bore his illness with pa
tience and cheerfulness. The end
came suddenly and was wholly free
from pain.
The business which he aft2rward
controlled was established during
the early development of this re-
gion, while the country was still
covered with rich forests and the
conditions of life were still those of
the frontier. During his absence
the building which he occupied was
with its contents left undisturbed
until recently in the hope that his
health might improve and that the
business might be continued.
He is survived by his brothers,
Edgar and James and by his sister,
Mrs. George w. Warner, of Bridge
port, Conn.

COMPARISON or PRICES.

The Democratic fault-finders base
their efforts Nto create discomfort
among the farmers in 1900 upon a
different plane from that of 1896.
Then their complaint was that the
prices of farm products were too low.
Now they complain that the farmers
are too prosperous and the prices of
their products are too high.
Mr.. Bryan was nominated in Chi
cago on July 10, 1896, and again at
Kansas city on July 5, 1900. Let us
take the quotations of the first week
in July, 1896, and July, 1900, the
respective dates are brought as near
ly as practicable to the dates of his
respective nominations.
Nobody will question the fairness
of selecting wheat, corn, oats, lard,
pork, beef, cotton, wool, hay and but
ter as ten representative articles of
farm production, nor will anybody
question the fairness of selecting sug-
ar, tea, coffee, rice, petroleum, leath-
er, cotton cloth, tin plate, sisal (from
which binder twine is made) and
Bessemer pig iron (the basis of all
agricultural requirements in iron and
steaD as ten representative articles of
farm consumption.
The tables which fIllOw show the
prices of the ten articles of farm pro-
duction and of an equal number of
articles of farm consumption at the
dates named and the percentage of
increase in each article, also the av-
erage increase, at the date of Mr..
Bryans second nomination as COM
pared with the prices at the date of
his first nomination.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1900-10-05

1t will be seen by an examination
of the tables that in every article of
farm production named there has
been an increase in price ranging
with a single exception) from 35
per cent to 6s per cent, or an aver
age increase in the entire series of
articles of 45.6 per cent.
In the list of articles of farm con-
sumption there is a reduction in
price IN two of the articles named,
while the increase in the other ar
ticles ranges much lower than that
of the farm products, the average
increase for the entire series of ar
ticles of farm consumption being 10
per cent.
Thus we see that in ten represent
alive articles of farm consumption,
the average increase has been 10 per
cent. while in the ten equally rep
resentative articles of farm produe-
ton. the increase has been Sass per
cent.

B. A. & p. ANSWERS.

The Butte. Anaconda & Pacific Rail
o company has filed an answer to the
suit brought against it by the White Tail
Cattle company to recover the value of a
horse killed and a ago smashed by a
train at a crossing on the defendant 8
line of road a short time ago.. The de-
PENDANT denies that the horse, which the
plaintiff valued at $3.50, was worth more
$50; and as to the allegation Of the
plaintiff in regard to the amount of
money alleged to have been expended in
behalf OF the damaged wagon and har-
ness and the transportation of h horse
out of the city after the train and the
animal had come together, the defendant
says it has no knowledge and therefore
denies that any money was paid out. It
also denies that the total damage sus-
tanned by the plaintiff was $179.25 or any
greater sum than $50.
Further answering. the defendant says
the plaintiffs manager drove his four
horse team and wagon to within about
100 feet Of the railroad crossing where
the accident occurred and there stopped
in front Of what is known as Murphy's
saloon; tina while there he n~egligently
and carelessly above the lead horses to
get out of his control and run away; that
if the horse was killed and the wagon
and harness shattered it was the fault
Of the plaintiff and it's manager carelessly
stopping the horses so close to the de-
fendant's tracks as to cause them to be
frightened by a passing train; that not
being tied they ran away.

CATTLE MOVING
SHIPMENTS FROM NORTHWEST
coMMENCE MONTH E ARLIER
EAHLlER THAN USUAL.

NlilpHhents OF Montana cattle to the
eastern market off Great Northern ter
ritory have commenced this year nearly
q month earlier than usual, and the
Great Northern has already handled two
rains one of "a cars and the other of
~ cars. The reason for this early move
ment is that the grass on the ranges is
so hin that cattle men are gla to get
1helr stock onto the market. Shipments
this season will, owing to the condition
OF the ranges, be heavier than usual, as
q W are going to ship everything
they can sell.
The heavy shipments will not begin un-
til about the middle of August, and the
Great Northern is already receiving Or
ders for cattle cars.
