AMALGAMATED RUMORS.
Gossip In Regard to Daily Hold
ings in Amalgamated' Stock.

GOSSIP IN He9arQ 10 Oaly 7OIO-
ings in Amalgamated Stock.
From Great Falls Leader:
A story is being whispered in Wall
street, New York, that the recent rise
in the price of the Amalgamated Cop
per mining stock is not due to com
blne between the Rockefeller and
Clark interests, but because of good
business and no legislation to block
the mines operations. Young w. A
Clark, the millionaire's son, will not
be president of the company, SO the
story goes, because the shade of
Marcus DAILY, his fathers life long
enemy, stands in the pathway of the
young mans ambition.
1t is said that John ID. Rockefeller,
William Rockefeller and II. H.
Rogers, all Standard oil men, had
patched up all past differences with
senator Clark, and would operate the
Amalgamated company in each 9th
ers interests. incidentally, IL was
also reported that the stock i'll the
Amalgamated Copper company held
by the estate of Marcus Daily had
been sold to the ROckefellers at a
price above the market quotations.
There is where the hitch came in
putting Senator Clark's son in the
presidents chair.
Marcus Days heirs, mindful of the
dead copper kings hatred for Sena-
tor Clark, refused to sell one share
of their holdings in the Amalgamat-
ed as soon as they learned that the
Rockefellers Nnd Clarks were friend
ly. 1t was "a kick from the grave"
| as Marcus DAILY would have expressed
| it. President Rogers refused to say
| anything about the stories in circula-
| ton. He would not deny that there
was trouble among the stockholders
and that the heirs of the late Marcus
DAILY stood ready al all times to hui
initiate Senator Clark and his fam,
lily.
| Meanwhile, Mr.. Rogers, who han
dies and manages the Standard Oil
interests in copper, is placed in a
somewhat embarrassing position
strange to say, millions cannot
change, for the DAILY family, consist
ing chiefly of three beautiful and low
able daughters of the dead copper
king, simply won't sell if they believe
that Senator Clark will be benefit
| ted.

A TRUTHFUL REMARK.

From the PIainsman:
There was great deal of truth in
the remark OF Mr.. Whiteside at the
recent horticultural meeting, when he
said that long years after the preci-
GUS metals had been exhausted from
the hills of Butte the great fruit in
dustry would thrive and be the livli-
mood OF an army of men, and pleas
ure and health to nation of consum-
ers. 1t is so. Husbandry is the
foundation of the nations wealth.
and the rock on which the national
peace and progress is founded.

In the III years since the war of the

out. The original II colonies COM
prised sos, $40, 800 acres. The Louisiana

acres; the purchase of Alaska, 3S3, 646,-
720 acres; the acquisition of Porto
Rico, Tutuila, the Philippines, Guam
and Hawaii 9S, 492, l6O acres.
Now, according to this ingenious fig
urer, there have been in the III years

A good one is told on Baptist broth

Somehow or other he got badly mixed

miss of the day of the week. So, when
last Sunday morning came, he arose

The morning was spent in this work.

forth to beguile and bag the nimble
squirrel. All through the lovely and
neaceful afternoon the crack OF his gun
was heard, and the teachers and pupils
of the nearby Sunday school and the
home-stayers of the Sunday-observing
neigh borhood wondered at the unusual
sound. When night came on and the
worthy deacon was resting from his

TO EXAMINE ENGAGED COUPLES.
Indiana People Who Would Marry Must
Be Inspected.

The Indiana state senate has passed
a bill which is designated to limit d.
vorces in Indiana by preventing III
chosen marriages.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of a commission by the governor
which shall be composed of two wo-
men. who are mothers, two physicians
of conceded ability and one attorney or
high standing. who shall prepare rules
for the government of officers in the
issuance of marriage licenses and OF
ministers in performing ceremonies;
and examinations shall be made OF all
applicants for licenses, and no mar
riages shall be celebrated in the state
unless the requirements are complleu
with.
The idea back of the bill IS TO re-
quire physical examinations and an
inquiry into the parentage OF the ap-
plicants to the end that their union
may be prevented in the event thae
conditions inimic&l to the welfare OF
society should be foreshadowed as d
result of marriage.

Experience of a Darkey Who Slept
With His Mouth Open.

An Athens negro, Will More, &C
cording to a special from that city, had
a peculiar experience Thursday night.
He is an Industrious negro, and at
night is usually ready for sound
sleep. On Thursday night he slept as
usual, with his mouth open, and a
mouse running over his bed went into
williams mouth, and the mouse was
promptly swallowed. Of course Will
liam was instantly awake, and 50 was
the mouse, and between the two they
made things lively around Williams
home for while. The larger victim
yelled and jumped and suffered agonies
until an emetic brought up the mouse.
He says it isn't healthy to sleep with

Tobacco Smoking Was a Crime.

1t is interesting in this connection to
recall that when tobacco smoking was
first introduced into Europe it was ex-
tremely unpopular. 1t was called 1.-THE
sinking habit, md at least two popes,
Urban VIII and Innocent XI, issued de-
crees against it, A Sultan of Turkey.
in which country smoking is now al
most universal, made it crime pun
ishable by the offenders having their
pipes thrust through their noses. In
Russia the noses of the smokers were
cut off. King James / of England
characterized smoking as "a custom
loathsome to the eye, hateful to the
nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous
to the lungs, and in the black, stink
ing fume thereof nearest resembling
the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit

LONE GRAVE ON BANK
OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE.
THE STORY OF AN INDIAN MAIDEN AND
HER YOUNG LOVER.
A Little Mound on the Rivers Edge Near
Eufauia Recalls Pretty Romance
Of'the Early Days.

There is nothing more interesting in
the history of any Of the beautiful To-
calities lying upon the banks of some
of the rapid water ways of the great
southern river system as the legends
that connect us with the past of long
gone years, when other feet besides
the white mans traversed the hills and
dales of the lovely valley of the Chat
uahoochee.
There is lonely little mound but
few miles below the city which has
not been disturbed by the advanced
civilization of the white man, lying
along the banks of the river where
rests one of the fairest daughters of
the Seminole Indian tribe. She had
been wooed and won by young brave
and brought by the husband and lover
from her warm home in Florida to the
land of the Creeks. Upon their reach.

fever and chills attacked her and moth
ing that the husband could do could
stay the grim monster, and she wasted
away and in few months died. No
pen can picture the stolid distress and
grief of the lover. He buried her life
less body ir one of those lovely spots
upon the rivers bank where the rip
ping waters and the songs of the birds
at all times would chant the sad re-
QUEENS to his departed love. He held
daily and nightly vigils over her grave
until nearly exhausted by fAmine. He
then would go away but to return to
the sad memento of his grief. The
lone grave was never long forgotten
by him no matter the distance, he
would return to the lone spot and hold
sad communion with the departed.
He joined the hostile Indians who
were fighting against the white mans
invasion and in one of the fierce bat
ties near Talladega was stricken down
but it seemed that his spirit still kept
vigil at the lone grave and often at
night when the late passer upon the
water or land CHANGED that way there
could be seen the silent sentinel stand
ing where the lovely Indian maiden
rested. The grave is now overgrown
with tangled wildwood and has long
since been forgotten, but the occasion

days.
The white man has possessed the land
where once the maiden and love roam

are all there, only older and more

primitive wood and burial ground of
the Indian girl.
The ghost of the Indian lover has
not been seen for many years, nor has
his phantom canoe been seen upon the
waters; but the great pines stand as
silent sentinels to guard the grave
while the lover and loved one roam the
happy hunting ground in ''the land of

THE GROWTH OF AGRICULTURE.
Some Interesting Facts Shown by the New Census Ar
Increase of $1,000 600 600 the Past Decade.

depreciation as the result of the civil
war, but since that time has been con-
stantly advancing. 1t has increased in
proportion to the amount of land in
cultivation-the acres of so-called i'm
proved land. The increase in the num-
Der of farms in these states will un-
questionably be accompanied with a
wonderful increase in the acres of i'm
proved land.
In the states and territories included
in the South Central division, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory, there
we're in 1850, 266,Sl4 farms; in 1860,
370,3 1913; in 1870, $40, 1913; in 1880, $50, 6iS;
and in 1890, 1886, 772. The increase for
the several decades was successfully
lO3, $50, 140,625, 1915, $50 and 200, 124.
The old plantations in Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Georgia have
been subdivided into smaller tracts,
and large amount of land which had
gone out of cultivation has been
brought under the pillow. Further, in
Oklahoma, in the Indian Territory and
in Texas, thousands of new farms have
been carved out of the public domain,
and the wilderness has been made to
bloom like the rose, and farm wealth
to increase to a marvellous degree.
The schedules returned from the South
Central division in 1900 number 1,672.-
317, and give assurance that the census
re ports, when completed, will record
| from l, 500, 900 to 1,640,000 farms. This
is an increase of from 535, 900 to 500, 000
farms in ten years, while the greatest
similar increase, that between 1870 and
1880, was only 375,650
The aggregate farm wealth in the
South Central division was 81, 1862, $685.
O65 IN 1880, and in 1890 it was $1,849,.
395, 1875 an increase of 1856, 729, 1873
Judging from the increase in the mum
Der of farm schedules, the states from
which they are reported, and the facts
which they represent, it becomes prob
able that the census of 1900 will show
an increase of at least $1,000, 100000 in
the value of farm resources. 1t will not
! be surprising to lind that such an in
crease amounts to even more than tina
vast aggregate.
Ia the western division of the states
and territories, Montana, Wyoming
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah
Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and California, the number of farms re
ported in 1850 was only 6,7l2 In sue
ceeding decades they numbered 1864
48,212; 1928, and 1858. This in
crease has been progressively growing
larger from 1860. From 1860 to 1876
the increase was 1858, and in later
decades 50, 5l1 and e., l55 The census
schedules show a continuation of this
accelerated growth and indicate an in
crease of about 100, 10000 farms, making
a grand total of 245, 900 in 1900, with g
corresponding growth of farm acres
and a doubling of farm wealth; or ar
increase in ten years of nearly, if moi
quite, 81, 900, 100000.
