A POOR BREAKFAST.

Very Few People Eat Good Breakfast
''All 1 want for breakfast is a roll
and cup of coffee.
This remark is heard not only in
hotels, restaurants and lunch rooms,
but it is the usual breakfast order in
the home circle as we'll. After a II
hours fast it would seem that the
first meal of the day should be q
hearty, substantial one. and if we all
lived natural, unartificial lives, it
would be so. but none of US do, hence
breakfast is a mere pretence.
Says latter day philosopher: Dur
ing many years of active business life,
L never remember having eaten a good
substantial breakfast, but supposed
it was of no Importance until began
to lose my appetite for lunch and
dinner.
My physician told me 1 was a vic
tim of nervous dyspepsia and must
take rest and recreation, as no medi-
cine would reach the trouble, but this
advice could not follow, as my bust
ness affairs would not permit it, and
to get relief / resorted 30 medicines
and prescriptions, and it was purely
accidental that hit upon one remedy
which did the business. While in a
drug store one evening noticed a
number of people buying Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, widely adver-
tised preparation for stomach trou-
bles, and the force of example was too
much for me and | bought a 50-cent
package.
81 took tablet or two after each
meal, and in a week my appetite
picked up, began to feel my old am
bition for work returning and could
eat a good breakfast because l wanted
it, and from that time to this. take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as regu-
larly as take my meals, not because
| now have any trouble with my stom-
ach. but because don't want to have.
IA 50-cent box of Stuart's Tablets
will last me month and keep my
digestion in good order, and 1 know
of no better Investment business
man can make"

tees Arrangement at Columbus.
Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-THE fourth
annual interstate joint conference of
operators and miners closed Saturday.
The result of the meeting was the re-
affirmation of the old scale, with min
or differences to be left to the various
state organizations. The next meeting
will be held in Indianapolis on Jan.
20. 1902.
The miners held a separate meeting
in the morning, with President John
Mitchell in the chair. He favored the
adoption of the old scale. Vice Presi-
dent Tom Lewis followed in a similar
strain. On the final vote ON the adop-
ton of last years scale but three min

Seems To BE the Way 1t Is I'm Kansas-Sa-
looms Shut Up.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 11.-Holton,
Kan, was purged of its joints Satur-
day. The purging process was accom-
plished by a mob of at least 1000
which took the law into its own hands.
Three joints were put out of business
and Holton is a dry town for the first
time in fifteen years. The citizens of
Holton held a meeting and decided
that the joints must be closed at once.
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock they
met at the NJ. Z. church, and after
some evangeiistic exercises they start
ed out to do their work. There were
a number of officers in the crowd, and
they led the way to the first joint,
which has been kept for years by a
woman named Hicks, on the south
side of the public square.
The mob broke down the doors and
took out all the liquor, emptying it into
the street. 1t then broke up all the
fixtures in true Mrs. Nation style, not
leaving a whole thing that could be
used in the joint business. The pro-
prietress of the joint tried to leave, but
the crowd refused to let her. When
the demolition of the Hicks joint was
completed the crowd started to do the
same with the other joints, nine in
number. The propYietors of these
joints by working very hard, managed
to turn out all their liquor by the time
the crowd reached their places of bust
ness and nearly had the fixtures moved
out. They pleaded earnestly to be al
lowed to keep the fixtures and prom
ised on their oaths never again to sell
a drop of liquor in Holton.
The citizens decided to give the re-
naming jointists a few hours in which
to leave the town. Lawyers, newspa-
permen, and business men helped to
swell the mob, which was composed of
some of the very best people of Holton.
After the smashing had been completed
the guardians of the law went to the
Methodist church and had a thanks
giving service over the successful re-
suit of their work. Saturday night
meeting was held in Holton and a vigil

At Acton the same sort of scenes

9,227,573, 9,733, 900, 9,6O5, 619; average. 81,
400 210
These reports are compiled from 939
replies received, by the Journal of
Commerce, S13 replies received by MIR.
Theodore H. Price, 3.476 replies receiv-
ed by Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co,
and 410 replies received by Messrs. J.
H. Parker & Co., or a total of 5,69S re-
plies in all.
The concard between the various re-
ports, both as regards the totals and
the yield by states is remarkable, the
chief differences being in Messrs. Lath-
am, Alexander &, Co.'S. estimate for
Mississippi. North Carolina, South Car
DINA and Tennessee.
These differences are partially ex-
planned by the fact that Messrs. Lath-
am, Alexander e. Co. figure upon a go
per cent. increase in Mississippi (Which
is larger than that accredited to the
state by any other authorities), and
that in the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee, they
have figured upon last years estimated
commercial cropwhich exceeds by 254000
bales the census production upon
which the other authorities have fig
ured. AS against these the average crop
guesses of the various exchanges are
as follows:
New Orleans Cotton Exchanged, 7S9, 900
Liverpool Cotton Exchange 0,S00 900
New York Cotton Exchange. 10, $50, 900
Memphis Cotton Exchange 10, $50 900
Houston Cotton Exchange 10. 800 900
Yazoo City Cotton Exchange 10. SOC. 900
Augusta Cotton Exchange .... 10, $40 900
Norfolk Cotton Exchange .... 49, 21 900
Little Rock Board of Trade. 10. 366, 900
These guesses average 10.5S4,S3S. so
that there is an apparent divergence
between what may be called scientific
investigation and popular opinion of
1.094,62S bales. As this figures out about
10 per cent. upon an average crop
of 100000 bales, it will be
readily seen why the government re-
port is awaited with SO much interest
The difference between the scientific
and the popular crop estimates is the
difference between famine and compar-
alive abundance, and while conjecture
is busy as to the purport of the gov
eminent report it hardly seems prob
able that IT can be entirely out of ac-
cord with the fact as reported by near
ly 5000 correspondents, each one re-
porting for his own locality. The weight
OF evidence is certainly in favor of an
acceptance of the smaller crop esti-
mates. Theo. II. Price.
The Savannah morning news., 1901-12-03

New York, Dec at would seem as
if the last word of prophecy with re-
gard to the size of this years cotton
crop had been spoken, and at the close
of to-day's trading the entire cotton
world await with nervousness almost
without precedent the report of the
agricultural department at Washing
ton, which is to be issued tomorrow
al noon. r his report, in view of the
reputation of the department for ac-
curacy under the present statistician,
will be generally accepted as finality
The reports and estimates covering the
crop, which have come into most con-
spicuous relief as representing the two
extremes of opinion, are those of the
New York Journal of Commerce, which,
on Nov 3, published a summary of 1873
replies, giving the percentage of in
crease or decrease by states. but omit
ting to figure out the indicated yield
in bales. The report of Mr.. Theodore
II. Price, issued on Nov. 25, which sum-
married 813 replies and in the compila-
ton of which Mr.. Price considered 1T
fair to add per cent. to the indicated
production. The report of Messrs. La
than Alexander & Co., issued on the
30th ult., and that of Messrs. j. H.
Parker & Co, issued to-day. Messrs.
Parker & Co. do not assume to make
any estimate themselves, out publish
simply the replies from 470 correspond
ents at 264 towns, which towns last
year received 4,5500 900 bales of cotton,
or nearly one-half of the crop Apply
ing the average of the predicted re-
ceipts at these towns to the crop, the
indicated production this year is $685.
1923 bales, which result Messrs. Parker
& Co. submit without comment as
coming from correspondents entitled to
serious consideration. For the purpose,
however, of equalizing the comparison
herewith, s per cent. has been added
to the figures of Messrs. Parker & Co.'S
correspondents, as in the case of Mr..
Prices estimate and the reports of the
Journal of Commerce. These reports
may be summarized as follows
1t is to be clearly understood that
the Journal of Commerce made no crop
estimate and the indicated figures OF
the yield by states attributed to that
paper are calculated upon an average
of it's reported percentage of increase
or decrease by states to which per
cent has been added in order to bring
them into mathematical conformity
with Mr.. Prices estimate of the same
class of figures.
