A. Q. U. W. TALK.
May Form New Jurisdiction in Con
 necticut.

May Form New Jurisdiction in Con l necticut.
 The agitation touching a new juris- diction of the A. O. U. w., says the New Haven Union has taken definite shape and all the lodges of New Ha- ven have appointed committees to con- fer i'll general assemblage and take the initiative steps for the formation of q Connecticut Jurisdiction. This will be one of the best things that
 could happen to the ancient order, and
 to Momaquin as well as to Israel Put
 nam, the credit for this step is given. At the next meeting of Israel Putnam, which will be held Friday evening,
 the subject will again be presented, l and probably a preliminary report from the committee appointed at the last meeting to attend the local con ference of the lodges will be presented
 At a recent meeting Brother Pearcy, who inspired the recent article in the Union, touching the prospective new Jurisdiction gave an extensive and in- structive address on '"The New Juris- diction," and speeches were also made by District Grand Supervisor Gibbs,
 and Brothers Gleason, Hunie and
 Mead.
 Classified assessment was also
 broached, and many pertinent inquiries
 and statements were made, which ad-
 ded to the fund of information of all.
 Should the new Jurisdiction be insti- tuted, authority will be granted by the supreme lodge which sits next July, and will comprise the lodges in Con necticut New Haven will then be the Mecca for Connecticut Workmen in- stead of Boston, which is the present capital of the Massachusetts jurisdic- tion. Among the reforms which will be instituted in the new jurisdiction is the cutting out of all hereditary pri- yileges." There will be no House of Lords to grace the present jurisdic- tion A word in explanation of 'sThe House of Lords" is permissible. 1t comprises a body of men within the grand lodge, who are charter members of the grand lodge, also life members of the same, all F. M. Workmen of the grand lodge, the officers of the grand lodges and the committee on laws and appeals during their term of off1cecom- prising total of something like sixty life members, quite formidable co- terie which the representatives tsduly elected and accredited" of the subor- dinate lodges regularly learn at each recurring annual assemblage. There are in round numbers about 13,000 members in Connecticut, who furnish in every particular splendid body for the contemplated Jurisdiction, and they will retire from the old jurisdic- tion with the brightest prospects for the future, which will be the hope of the new Jurisdiction, and the pride of the old.

 that we are just as particu lar about the style and fin ish as we are in our custom work.
 The trouble with most ready made garments is, the makers in order to re- duce expense, cut all by one pattern, and make as many of one style as possible, thus giving the (ready made effect) so noticeable in ladies suits.
 Exclusive style and care. full finish are our hobbies in ladies garments, our ob- ject being to see how well not how cheaply a garment can be made-that is differ ence between ours and the ordinary (ready made)
 NOW IT IS SAMPLE SUITS.
 Our buyer has just re- turned from the market, having picked up many of the samples of the leading manufacturers who have dispensed with their present styles, of which there will be no more duplicates-a a point most essential to the success of the wholesaler and dmanufacturer of stand ing as a house that makes many duplicates is not con- side1cd first class, hence the necessity of disposing of their samples at what ever price they can get for them. As our readers of course are aware that sample suits are always most carefully made and not without the reduction in price. this is important enough to com- mand attention.

Kansas City, Mo, April 2S.-A fight against the ticket scalpers of Kansas City was started in the city council last night. when representatives, of the Kansas City Transportation bureau requested the council to pass a law making it an offense punishable by fina for ticket brokers to traffic in un-. transferable railroad tickets. This action is at the instance Of the Shrln

$65 an acre had gone up to 800 and

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: Will
liam J. Brayn, in his endeavor 10
fire the demo-pop heart in Nebraska,
is saying some thing which had
better, for his interests, have been
loft unsaid. Thus, in a speech made
a few days ago in that state, he re-
marked: II hate to believe that
men will recant their beliefs be-
cause their material interets arc
advacned by voting contrary to their
principles. / hate to think that
farmer who believes in silver, in in
dependence in government and is
against imperialism, will vote the
republican, ticket because hogs are
up and wheat is high
. In this sort Of talk MI. Bryan goes
far toward giving away his case. A
policy which advances the material
interests Of community, especially
when that community means a ma
ton of 76, 900, 900 inha bitants, must
necessarily be wise. In talking this
way to farmers that statesman in
cites them to ask themselves the
reason why ''hogs are up and wheat
is high" This will be fatal to MI.
Bryan's whole theory. When the
farmer gets to thinking of the rea-
son why the things which he has to
sell are higher than they were a few
years ago, and why his general con-
ditins has been greatly improved j.,
the interval, he will quickly reach
the correct conclusion that. republi-
can supremacy is accountable for
much, very much, of this improve
ment.
Mr.: Bryan is an eloquent man but
he cannot make anything, in a TO-
[1tlcal way, out of this prosperity
argument. He said in one Of his
recent speeches that 1.-The prosperity
argument defeated us last year, and
when one admits that man who
has protested belief in our principles
votes the republican ticket.'y have
TO admit that he puts material in
terest above, the welfare of his
country-prospe1ity above princi-
ple.' There is dynamite for the
democratic leader in this sort If
stump speaking He ought to leave
the prosperity talk to the republi-
cans, wo alone are in position to
profit by it. Mr.: Bryan comedies.

20 personally Investigating
soils, crops and conditions of farm
ing. On his recent visit here he
spent most of his time driving in
the country, talking with the farm
ers and looking at the farm soils,
methods Of farming and conditions
of crops. While here, talking of the
raise Of farm values, he predicted
that such land as that in Renvillo
and adjoining counties would
twenty-five years be worth $40 to
$25 an acre. He based his predict
ions on the fact that the better farm
lands of the country are now practi
cally all taken up. and immigration
and increase in population will from
now on force up the, price of land
faster than ever before. He dra WIS
the north line of what he considers
the best Minnesota land at about the
northern line of Kaudivohi county,
Excepting the Red River Valley he
classes Northern Minnesota and
North Dakota as poorer grade. Their
cheapness for the quantity available
for settlement he does not think will
keep down the inevitable increase
in the prices of the farm to the
south. He went on to show that at
practically all points where now
cheap lands are to he had the land
is not the best grade and therefore
will not hinder the rapid increase il
the value of the standard quality IF
farms His study Of farm statistics,
has led him to that conclusion. t't;
method is illustrated by the follow
ing example: Taking the state Of
