The state Central committee Of tn.
Party ArranEes to Perfect
County Organizations.

County organization will be the work
of the prohibition state central COM
mittee for the next few weeks. At
present only about 30 Of the counties
in the state have active prohibition or
CARNATIONS. In some of them there
has not been a county ticket nomi-
mated for some years, and in others
little has been done but hold the con-
vention and nominate the ticket. This
state of affairs has been under con-
sideration by the members OF the ex-
ecutive committee for some weeks, and
it has been decided to organize every
county in the state and to put ticket
in the field. Tt will take some time to
do this work, for it will be done thor
oughly. No county where there are
enough prohibitionists to make up a
county ticket will be allowed to re-
main unorganized.
The object of the organizatio is not
so much to nominate county officers as
IT is to nominate candidates for the
legislature. Chairman Campbell is con-
fident that there will be a candidate
for the legislature in every district in
the state, and that a good vote will
be polled in some sections where the
prohibition sentiment Is strong. 1t
viii be necessary to hold joint conven-
tons in the districts that are COM
posed Of more than one county, and,
while it is hardly probable that any
of the candidates will be elected I'M
less combinations are made, yet a
great deal of enthusiasm will result
from the meetings. The object is to
get the members of the party together
and make them more accustomed to
organization.

AN UNoccUPIED FIELD.
consul Mowade Reports That There
Arc No American Merchants In
Canton, China.

Consul McWade, at Canton, China,
In report to the state department.
says there are no American mer-
chants in that city, and there is no
record of any having registered at
other treaty ports in his district.
This accounts for the lack of large
market for American goods. Consul
McWade says: 1.-THE Chinese have a
liking for Americans and for Amsri-
can goods, but they cannot be relied
on to become steady customers of the
latter unless at the outset the arti-
cles sold to them are supplied at .
low rate and of good quality.
Intending exporters should bear
these points in mind, remembering
the while that after they have estab.
nshed trade they can safely adj
vance prices, so long as the articles
supplied continue of good quality. A
deterioration In quality is soon mo-
ticed, with the result Of an immedi-
ate and permanent rupture Of COM
mercial relations.
"In other words, once the Chinese
become accustomed to the purchase
of any commodity or ware, they will
acquiesce gracefully in its gradual in.
crease in price, but win resent en-
phatically and for all time the att
tempt to palm off an inferior article
upon them. II the manufacturer or
exporter will treat his Chinese con-.
signee with this consideration always
IN mind he will benefit by it."

The following men have been ar
rested on the charge of committing
the robbery: L. c. Richmond, Bob
Afford, George Brown, John Gibson,
Tom Edwards and Jack Barr. These
men were arrested at Caney and
taken to Atoka Tuesday morning.
The operator at Caney, when he
heard the shooting suspected the
train was being held up. and put out
the light in the depot and tele-
graphed to Atoka, IL miles away, for
officers. Within two hours after the
robbery was committed bloodhounds
had trailed those men to their
homes. The officers found the wet
clothing identified by passengers as
that worn by the robbers. They
found three masks, and found in the
firebox of the cook stove the shoes OF
the men arrested. The tracks were
measured and fitted the shoes exact.
ly. Tuesday afternoon the men were
given a hearing in Commissioner
Balls court at Atoka and their bonds
fixed at $1,000 i'll each case. They
could not give the bond and were re
manded to Jail. There were two mer
connected with the robbery who
rode away on horseback, and they
have not been captured.

A telegram from Youngstown says
that the furnace workers have decided
not to strike. The executive commit
the Mahoning and Shenango valleys
met in that city Tuesday to receive and
take action upon the report of the sub
committee appointed to investigate
the rumored sale of the output of the
furnace of the two valleys to the
United States Steelcorporations. The
subcommittee finding was to the eff
the executive committee, after long
discussion of the situation, in view of
the fact that the steel corporation has
furnace capacity of it's own sufficient
to supply its present needs, and the
further fact that the furnace owners
involved have given the men assur-
ances that if they will continue at
work no pig iron will be shipped under
the contract with the steel corpora
ton, the committee resolved that
strike at this time Is inadvisable.
Meantime, 1t was decided to organize
the stock men and all other employees
of all the furnaces of the two valleys
and then organize all the furnaces of
the country, effecting national or
ganization which shall be affiliated
with the American Federation of La

President Shnffer spent the day at

directions to his followers throughout

clined to talk much for publication.
Several times during the day he ex-
pressed his satisfaction with the prog
ress of the contest, but would make no
detailed statement. He denied that he
had been approached by independent
steel men with proposition to pro-
long the strike to point where the
United States Steel corporation would
lose its rush orders. He said that it
was absurd to think that he could talk
about any such plan with anyone. He
also declined to talk about the western

AN G FATHER.
Teacher, But Got the
Worst of 1t.

When Charles d. Folsom. the New
York lawyer, left Phillips-EXeter
academy, New Hampshire, he had a
distinct feeling of pride that he was
graduated from the same school that
sent Daniel Webster to fight the bat
tie of life, and, because Webster's
second step was school teaching, and
because he needed the money, he
adopted this profession. From this
time, on, to use his own words,
all likeness between his own and
the great statesman's career end
ed, says the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
1t was at ~Sanbornton Square, New
Hampshire. There were four giants
of boys in the school, all over IS years
OF age, and Mr. Folsom was only 10.
But he had the advantage of prac-
teal physical training on his side.
One day the father of one of the
giants, who had a bad reputation as
a local fighter, drove up to the school
house with an ak and asked for the
teacher. He hammered on the door
" iASiliSIioo, alo WliSh IN

buggy. The irate parent said:
Young man, did you lick n of my
boys yesterday"
"I did. sir"
"Well if you do it again I'll fix
you"
mo, you WON'T" was the nswcr
"In whip your boys SO long as they
are under my charge and disobey the
rules
"Well, We'll see,' said the man., pre-
::paring to get out.
1t just then occurred to Mr.. Fol
som that this was his time, and he
lifted the bed Of the light buggy off
:the wheels and tipped it over. Into
the ditch rolled the man with the ak,
while the teacher and IS school chill
dren looked on and grinned. 1t was
too much for the man, and, adjusting
the buggy top, he rode quietly away.

johnny on Autumn,

Autumn is the season of the year
when the leaves turn brown and your
feet get cold riding in the open cars.
In the autumn we go out meath the
shady woods to commune with nature
and gather various kinds OF nuts. 1t
is usually called fall except when one is
in company. Autumn is its Fourth
Reader name. In the autumn we ask
the %janitor to give us some steam, but
he haughtily refuses. Hence we do not
get it, and we sometimes sit around
the cold radiator and think. We should
not murmur at providence, for provi-
dence is not to blame. 1t is the jan
stor. In the autumn we take our
books under our arms and trudge off
contentedly to school. Education is
an important thing. We should never
neglect to get an education. Let us
bear in mind, my friends, that without
an education we are apt to come short
in doing our duty. 1t is also improper
to wear a straw hat in autumn.-John-
ny, in Chicago Tribune.

Took n Costly Nap.

To begin with, he's ga good fellow"
That's a phrase easier understood by
men than by m 1t generally
means-we!, it means he's an all
round good sort in the male line,
says the Philadelphia Press. The
other Afternoon he was feeling
pretty good. He had been quite
thirsty, if what he had taken was to
be judged as a criterion. And the Ii
bations left him in a thoroughly good
humor, and he felt at peace with the
world. In this delightful mental and
physical state he bethought him of a
friend of his in Providence, r. j. And
he further thought hat he would call
up that particular friend Oh the tele-
phone. So he went to u Broad street
hotel, told the young woman there
who had charge of the phone that he
wanted to speak to Mf. So-and-So in
Providence, and wouldn't she kindly
call up the party. The girl did as she
was babe. PARTY on the 'phone,' she
said, and the man went into the tele-
phone box, sat down and put the re-
ceiver to his ear. And then he calmly
and sweetly dropped off to sleep.
When he woke up he owed the tele-
phone company 5000. He said he
wouldn't pay it-but he did.
