What Il Costs the Farmer.

lthas been shown after careful inquiry
that the average haul of the American
farmer in getting his produce TO market,
or to the nearest shipping station, is
twelve miles. The average cost per ton

On Tuesday elections were held in
many consmonwealths throughout the

local offices such as judges, county and
city officers, which give little of signif-
gance politically. Generally speaking
the early returns are all favorable to re-
publican success.

TRENTON, Jan. T. The New Jersey
legislature met and organized today.
Next Tuesday the legislature will re.elect
Gen. William J. Sewell United States
senator and will then adjourn to Jan. ~,
when it reassembles again to begin the
annual task of lawmaking. Among the
measures of general interest TO be sub.
mitted this session is a bill to abolish
capita punishment. 1t is likely that the
bill will be modified before passing so as
to give juries the in murder cases the
power to fix the punishment at imprison
ment for life in cases where they do not
think the death penalty should be in
ficted. Among the labor bills to be pre-
sented is one requiring that railroads
have n second man in the engineer cab

Can Not Defeat Nelson.

ST. PAUL, Jan. S.-During the past 10
hours the arrival of scores Of legislators
and politicians has converted St. Paul
into a theater of political warfare with
the dozen or more aspirants for the seat
of the late Senator Davis occupying the
center of the stage. The legislature met
at noon today and began the work of or
panization. Little interest is manifested
in anything except the senatorial contest.
Two United States senators are to be
elected, but as the reelection of Senator
Knute Nelson is a foregone conclusion,
public interest is focused on the contest
is one of the most exciting in the politi-
cal annals of Minnesota. Minneapolis is
backing R. G. Evans, present United
States district attorney, while St. Paul
has put forward Moses r. Clapp, ex-state
attorney general. Congressman Tawney'
Hubbard and several others
are looked upon as dark horses.

"The commissioners receive $1,000 year

edge of the condition of affairs until the

Meeting Of Indiana Democrats.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. s - A general
roundup of members of the democratic
state committee, democratic members Of
the coming legislature and party leaders
from all over the state is in progress here
today and several important conferences
are on the taps The state committee is
to decide whether or not the headquar.
ters here are to be kept open. Incident
ally, the proposed reorganization Of the
party, against which the radical Bryan
men are arrayed, will probably engage
the attention of the leaders Of the party.
A love feast will be held tonight with the
democratic legislators as guests Of honor.
Though it is denied that the state organ.
ization intends to advise them on the
course to pursue during the coming ses-
sion, it is altogether probable that All un-
derstanding will be reached on this point
before the powwow is over.

LONDON. Ian. This mornings ne rs
from Cape Town is again unsatisfactory.
Martial law has been proclaimed at
Malmesbury aud would have been pro-
claimed in other districts but that the
cabinet meeting called Saturday was un.
able to agree as to its advisability The
vagueness of the information concerning
the movements and position of the in
vaders has sent fresh cold fit over the
colonists and Cape Town calls loudly for
strong reinforcements from England on
the ground that the greater part of Lord
Kitchener's available force is employed
in protection of lines Of communication
and the Rand mines, the latter extending
for distance Of so miles
1t is asserted by the Cape Town CORE
spondent that unless the force, in Cape
Colony are increased most undesirable
state of affairs may result, as the success
in arms of the invaders, however slight,
might be the signal for Dutch uprising.
As it is, many British residents have
had to leave the Dutch villages near Cape
Town, their lives being unbearable.
According to native report hundred
men, either Beers or local farmers. have
just passed through Clan William district
in the direction of Malmesbury.
The Cape Town correspondent Of the
Daily Mail, who calls for 10000 fresh
troops, says "Prominent Afrikander 10y
alsts declare that the rebellious colonists
will construe the colonial call to arms as
a challenge and that the ominous silence
of the pro.rebels, combined with the fact
that members of the pro-Boer junta in
Cape Town have been touring in the dis
affected districts, emphasizes the neces,
sity for martial law. The necessity was
never more acute for dispatching rein
forcements. Already there is proof that
colonials are leading one commando"
