! WEALTH IN THE SOUTH.
Even Negroes Feel Too Rich to Work
for Time Beinu,

New Orleans, La, Jan. AFTER a
tour thru the cotton belt. embracing
liberal. sections of Arkansas and Tex
as, Walter T. Miller, the veteran quar-
ter century treasury of the New York
cotton exchange and pioneer in cotton
trading, has arrived here and makes
this breezy review:
1.-The south is now intoxicated with
it's prosperity-yes drunk. The ne
groes have SO much money to spend
that they are undone by their wealth.
In Memphis saw a sign: 'Pickers
Wanted Negroes passed it by on the
other side, singing: No, we don't
want jobs, we've got all the money we
want A large part of the south's
cotton money has, of course, gone to
the negro. He never looks ahead, My
firm belief is that the result of this
great southern prosperity will be bad,
Bad in this way: The southern states
have money today which they have
never before known. My idea is that
there will be a reaction. Give a boy
500 and the effect will probably be
bad Give him 81 and he will be more
judiciouS."

TO FIGHT THE TRUST.
Western Rubber Shoe Company, OF
Chicago, Licensed.

Chicago, Jan 4. A new concern
with capital of $1,000,000 and re-
sources equal to five times that
amount, has been formed in this city
for the purpose of starting rubber
shoe plant in opposition to the United
States Rubber company. the trust.
The concern was incorporated yester-
day in the State of New Jersey under
the name of the Western Rubber Shoe
company of Chicago.
All of the stockholders. with one ex.
ception, are residents of this city. The
plant will be built here, and will have
an initial output of 5000 pairs of shoes
day. 1t will employ several hundred
men. The company has secured op
ton on two sites, and as soon as a
decision is reached the work of erect
ing plant will begin.
Vigorous opposition on the part OF
the trust is anticipated, but it is stat
ed that the new company is prepared
to continue the fight indefinitely. They
have already secured a quantity OF
raw rubber, which is said to be suffi
cient to keep them going several
years.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The great Metho.

collecting S20,000,0O0 as a Twentieth
Century gift, but it will signalize the
passage from the most remarkable
century the world has ever seen into
one that is expected to produce even
more wonderful steps of progress, by
starting an evangelical movement
that is expected to result in the saw
ing of many souls. The objective
number was put at 100000 by a res.
olution adopted by the general con
ference upon the motion of Bishop
Thoburn. The movement will have
much impetus impaired to it by
Bishop Joyce and Mallalieu, the emo

IMPLEMENT MEN INSURANCE.
Plan for Forming 1t Outlined by the
Committee.

| Des Moines, Jan. 4--The committee
on insurance presented its report to
the Iowa Implement Dealers Associa-
Ition yesterday, recommending the for.
nation of a mutual company to insure
implements. The report was adopted
by the convention after some discus
sion. p. +. Arney, of Marshalltown.
as chairman of the committee, pre-
scented the report and was made chair
man of The committee to look after
the formation of the company. The
other members are to be appointed by
the executive committee. The mutual
company is to be entirely separate
from the association, but only its
members will have the privilege Of In
Surfing in it.
The insurance committee recon-
lmends company, the object of which
will be to insure the stock of dealers.
The insurance of this company is to
be limited to members of the associa-
ton, as this has been found to be the
best plan by other associations. The
company will be formed In the near
future and every effort will be made
to insure its success. It's business will
be entirely separate from the business
of the association and no effort will be
made to combine the two The only
thing that the association has to do
with the company will be the fact that
policies will only be issued to its
members. s

SIGNAL OTHER WORLD.
Nkola Tesla, the Wizard, Believes
Code Could Be Formulated,


New York, Jan. 4.-Nikola Tesla's
lieves was the signals from the people
of Mars or Venus to the earth, has
drawn to the electrical wizard once
more the attention of the scientists all
over the world. Yesterday he dis
cussed the matter again, and went
more into details than when he first
gave the result of his experiments.
He told of the disturbances his instru-
ments recorded while at work on the
top of a Colorado mountain peak, and
added:
Il share the belief of other scien-
tific men that the planet Mars is in
hahted; that the inhabitants are in
telligent and that they are trying to
communicate with the inhabitants of
other planets, including our earth"
Mr.. Tesla was asked about the ma
chine he thinks might be constructed
to carry signals from the earth to the
planets, but as to the practical details
of establishing system of interplane
tary communication he is not yet pre-
pared to talk.
His suggestion, however. of an inter-
change of mathematical forms would
indicate at once practical basis of
operations by means of initiating cleo
trical disturbances at the three angles
of vast triangle described over an
immense area of the earth's surface.
Could Establish Code.
Observers at these points with
means at command for the transmits
sion of powerful electric energy could
thus indicate to the inhabitants of
Mars in unmistakable manner the spe-
cies of form language in which it was
desired to hold communication Thus,
| little by little, an intelligent code
could be established containing posi-
bilities for the acquisition of exact
data concerning other worlds far be-
yond the widest dreams of necroman-
GERS.
Mr.. Tesla naturally regards his lat
est discovery as far and away the
most important he has ever made. He
| is positive that the disturbance which
agitated his machine was neither of
solar nor terrestrial origin, but pro
ceeded from one of the planets. He
says that in his Colorado laboratory
the instrument he was using to OBJ.
serve the electrical condition of the
earth was affected in an unaccountable
manner, not once, but many times, the
number of impulses varying.
Mr.. Tesla now firmly believes that
with improved apparatus it is not only
probable but entirely possible, that we
shall be able to communicate with the
inhabitants of other planets

1T STARTS A BOOM.
Decisions in "Tax Ferret Cases
Causes Investment.

Des Moines. Jan. 4.-As result of
the action of the last legislature in
passing a law empowering boards of
supervisors to enter into contracts
with individuals for the unearthing of
property withheld from the assessor,
the workings of the new system are
being studied by citizens with consid-
cradle interest.
In this county the tax ferrets," who
have been collecting since September,
have turned into the county fund $40,-
000 In this short time the "ferrets'
brought suits which secured a dec1-
sion in the district court covering
every feature of the law, in which the
law was held constitutional and also
retroactive, so that, unless the lower
court shall be reversed by the supreme
court, the questions in all future suits
of this character must be questions of
fact and not of law.
What is more important than the
enriching of the county fund is that
the new system is leading to the in
yestment of local capital in business
and realty. Before the enactment of
this law considerable money invested
in mortgages escaped taxation, but
now that all property must be taxed
the money that was formerly in mort
cages is being turned into real estate
or business that insures a greater
revenue to the owner than was deriv-
ed from mortgages.
The amount of ferret money that will
in the end be paid into the treasures
of counties in this state cannot be es-
timated at this time. Eighty counties
have entered into contracts for the
collection of taxes on covered" prop
erty, or are negotiating to that end,
and if the supreme court holds the law
retroactive, as the lower court has
done, the total amount will be enor-
nous
The operation of the law affects in
most part those who are able to pay.
In the beginning it was regarded Win
some misgiyings. but so far as tried
few of the bad features charged
against it have developed.

opportunity occurs. The capital stock
of the exposition has been fixed at
100000, and the resources of the

'TOCHOOSE ONE-FIFTH
That Proportion of United States
Senate Will Be Chosen.
CONTESTS ATTRACTING ATTENTION.
If Quay is Defeated, 1t Is Expected
He Will Disappear From the Politi-
cal Arena-Fight in Delaware Cen
tiers Around Addicks.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Legislatures
about to meet in various states will be
called upon to elect at least one-fifth
of the United States senate. Many of
the contests under way are vacancies
that have attracted national attention.
Pennsylvania.
Matthew S. Quay, republican leader
| in Pennsylvania, who was denied a
seat in the senate on Governor Stones
appointment, is in Harrisburg fighting
for his political life. 1t is expected
that he will disappear from politics if
| he is defeated for reelection. The
contest is very bitter, yet, singular as
| it may seem, Quay thus far is the only
candidate in sight and declares he
has 127 members pledged to him in
writing.
Delaware.
| Another fight is in Delaware. The
| fight there centers around j. Edward
Addicks, gas manipulation, of Boston,
| Mass, who took up residence in Del
aware, and for twelve years has been
trying to be elected to the United
States senate. He was defeated in
1889 by Anthony Higgins, and was
again candidate four years ago,
when Colonel Henry Dupont received
the certificate. but was rejected by the
senate owing to technicality. There
are really three political parties in
| Delaware-the regular republicans,
the Addicks, or union republicans, and
the democrats. None of these parties
has enough votes to elect.
New Hampshire.
| There is much doubt about the re-
election of Senator William E. .Chand-
Ter in New Hampshire, who has been
a member of the senate since 1887.
Senator Chandler ascribed the oppo-
sition to him to Wiliiam A. Clark, of
Montana, out of revenge for his
(Chandler's) attitude in the senate
last year, when Clark's certificate to a
seat was rejected on account of
charges of bribery in the Montana leg
Iislature. 1t is singular that Chandler
lis fighting desperately now in New
Hampshire for reelection, while Clark
mas practically the game in his own
hands.
Montana.
Montana like Delaware, will elect
two senators this winter-one to fill
the vacancy now existing over which
Clark and DAILY fought SO bitterly and
the other to succeed Thomas H. Car
tier.
Nebraska.
Nebraska is another state that will
elect Two senators-one to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Hayward, now temporarily filled by
the appointment of Senator Allen, and
the other to succeed Senator John M
Thurston, whose term will expire or
March 4.
Minnesota.
The death of Senator Davis has
brought about an unexpected senate
rial contest in Minnesota. A host OF
candidates has sprung up, including
Moses e. Clapp, Representative Lorir
Fletcher, Representative James A
Tawney, Thomas Lowrey, of Mime
apolis, and Robert Evans. The jeal
ousy between st. Paul and Minneapolis
makes it difficult for a candidate from
either of these cities to succeed, an(
thus far it is anybody's fight.

WANTS WAR FUND INTEREST.
J. S. tothrop acIaims Government
Owes State of Iowa 1875, 900.

Des Moines. Jan Al. S. Lothrop
former state senator. has applied to
the state executive council for au-
thority to proceed in the collection of
about $S75,O0o, which it is claimed the
general government owes Iowa as in
terest upon the funds whichit used to
fit out troops during the civil war.
The state used about 100000 during
period, most of which was used for
this purpose. The government refund
ed to the states the principal of these
funds, but as in the case of the Span
ish war did not pay interest This in
terest' as computed, amounted to about
$S75,00O on that portion of the funds
used for the troops. The principal
was not refunded for twenty or TWEEN
ty-five years.
