The PROSPEROUS FARMER.

Evening Wisconsin: The prosperity OF
the farming class contributes toward
the prosperity of every other class OF the
community. 1t is good thing for every
body that the farmers of the United
States are fionrishing financially at the
present time This makes them good
patrons of the merchants, and puts
money into circulation throughout she
veins of business. Two very important
crops were short last year, but this cir
cumstance, fortunately for the farmer,
did not cut dc IN his revenues The 1906
wheat crop was 500. 800, sos bushels,
while that of 1899 was 25, 000, 900 bushels
more. The average farm price of wheat,
however, while the 1900 crop was NOV.
ing to market, was 3.5 cents higher per
bushel than in 1899 This not only saved
the farmer, but enabled him to sell his
smaller wheat crop Of 1900 for 81, 200,
900 more than he received for his crop OF
1899
The hay crop of 1900 was also short,
being the smallest with single excep-
ton since 1888, yet the average price
was s. SO cents per ton, compared with
$7.27 per ton in 1899, so that the value
of the 1900 hay crop was S445, 53s, S7S OF
S33, 900, 900 more than that of the larger
crop of the preceding year. Corn and
oats were unusually bounteous Ups,
On the corn crop the farmers realized
$122, 900 900 more than in 1899. The
total value of the eight staple farm pro
ducts in 1900 was 81, S61, 466. 5S2-whict
is S24s, 430, 29S more than the total value
of the same products for 1899. The farm
er's wife can have new carpet, and q
new sewing machine, if she wants it
II many instances he feels equal to buy
ing piano or organ for his daughter
He will not be obliged to make his child
rem wear shabby clothes. AS for him
self. he will feel warranted in freely in
vesting in the most approved machinery
which invention provides for tightening
agricultural toll.
Thus large part of the farmers in
creased income flows into the channels
of trade, and the community generally
prospers because the farmer prospers.

DEPRESSING EASTER DAY
Weather Was Everything That It
Ought Not to Have Been-No
Display of Fashions.

Easter Sunday. the greatest of all
the Christian festivals OF the year,
was observed ralisi0usly yesterday by
tkc thousands OF church-gocrs Of this
city. The various churches, both Pro-
testant and Catholic, We're thronged at
all services with devout worshipers
come to honor the risen Christ and
sing His praises in gladstone and joy
Gus song.
Eas'2r has for years been reco ognized
as the day for the dofting of winter
styles and the donning of the garments
which Dame Fashion has decreed shall
be Worn during the spring and sum-
mel season. In this respect. however,
it was not observed yesterday. The
reason is easily explained.
The weather was abominable. This
adjective most properly and effectively
describes it. The day dawned in the
midst of nasty and disagreeable drz-
zle, which continued until after s
o'clock. The rain then stopped, but
the sky remained overcast throughout
the entire day with dark grey, ominous
looking clouds which let forth little
dribs and drabs of rain at stated in
tervals and which kept nearly every
body indoors who hadn't some business
outside.
AS IA consequence there was no East
er parade in the central city Ladies'
Easter hats, which over-wOrked mil
liners had spent hours of overtime in
making during the week, were left
undisturbed in their boxes and gentle
mems spring suits, which tailors had
turned out under threats Of loss
of patronage If they We're not ready
by Saturday night, were left folded
as when they left the shops. II was
an all around discourasing and soul
depressing day.

YOUNG GIRL MALTREATED
Arrested in Freight Car Where She
Was in Company with Six Young
Men-All Are Held.

Edna Hunt. a girl who will not be 10
years old until next May, is in the
West Scranton police station. She tells
| most remarkable story.
Late Saturday night she says she
was standing at West Lackawanna
avenue and Ninth street, near her
home. when three young men came
along and induced her to accompany
| them for a walk up Ninth street. Near
| the West Linden street bridge, she
says. they picked her up and carried
her down on the railroad and up the
! tracks to an open freight car on a side
! switch at the Diamond mine crossing.
One of the men went by the name
| of Dick" but she does not know them,
| but would be able to recognize them.
They tied Il handkerchief across her
mouth and lifted her into the freight
car, where each assaulted her while
| the others pinioned her limbs. Two
of the men disappeared and shortly
| afterwards the six men now under ar
rest appeared in the car. The third
man of the first trio then disappeared
and left the girl in company with the
others. Two of these, the girl claims,
assaulted her.
Williams. who detailed a squad to ac-
company him. and the girl and her six
companions We're placed under arrest

THEY FAVOR VOSBURG.
West Side Republicans Express
Themselves About the Common
Pleas Court appointment.

A meeting of West Scranton voters
was held in Ivorite hall, 126 South Main
avenue. Saturday night, for the pur-
pose of obtaining sentiment regard
ing the appointment of successor to
Hon. r. w. Archibald on the common
pleas bench. The sentiment of those
present was unanimous in favor of eX-
City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg.
The meeting was called to order by
Wallace G. Moser. who outlined the
purpose of the meeting, and incident
ally paid nice compliment to Judge

pontment to the Federal court His

ON motion of Select Councilman Jo-
seph Oliver. of the Fifteenth ward Sec
onded by James Leyshon, Mr.. Moser
was named as chairman, and w. r.
Hughes was selected to act as secre-
tary. Jenkin 4. Reese, of the Lacka-
wanna Engineering Department, City
Assessor Gwilym Jones, r. w, Luce
and others spoke of the necessity for
expressing preference as to a candi-
date, and a motion prevailed that a

name of A. 4, Vosburg for the judicial
vacancy.
The chairman appointed on the COM
mittee Joseph Oliver, Gwiym Jones,

NOT MANY UNOCCUPIED.
Nearly All OF the Stores in the
Central Part of the City Have
Tenants.

Any close observer can not fail to
notice these days and favorably COM
ment upon the busy appearances of the
city streets, and to remark the fact
that on the blocks of Scranton's busi-
ness thorouglfares there Is scarcely an
unoccupied store.
Buildings long vacant are now reno
waited and lined with stock. and April
!. moving day, has come and passed
without causing more than few
changes about by local merchants. In
several instances where the For Rent
sign appears the places We're formerly
occupied by saloons, gone out of busi-
ness since the doubling of the license
took place. and a number of eX-saloons
have been transformed into clothing
or other merchandise stores.
The numerous disastrous fires which
have recently occurred have aided in
tenanting places long unoccupied, and
as u result there are but few bare
spots along the avenues and central
city streets.
On Lackawanna avenue. from Wash
ington avenue to the bridge, there Is
but one vacant shop. and on Wyoming
avenue like admirable state of affairs
prevails. Along the entire length Of
Spruce street there are about three un-
occupied stores, and on Penn avenue
there are about seven. three of which
are in the block between Vine and
Mulberry streets. The record-breakins
block for vacancies is on Franklin ave-
nue., between Lackawanna and Spruce,
where there are five legends on the
doors announcing that all applicants
inquire at such and such place for
rent, etc.
On the 800 block of Washington ave-
nue. there are but two empty stores.
and the other two business blocks but
a couple more. The 300 block, the only
business portion of Adams avenue, has
only one unOccupied store.
