There are many fine orchards

apples, peaches and pears are raised
with but very little difficulty. a
man owning a fine orchard near this
place recently refused an offer Of
$50, 900 for the fruit grown on it
this year. The orchard consists of
twelve hundred acres, six hundred
of which contains nothing but apple
trees and the other six hundred
peaches and pears. It is a young
orchard at that, and its future is
certainly bright. I recently Went
through it, and it certainly looks
fine, and the trees are loaded with
fruit. I picked my first peaches
and pears from some of the trees in
this vast fruit field, and after eating
them I adjudged them to be excep-
tionally fine fruit.

A RABBIT STORY.

Seaforth ! must be interested in
some rabbit discussion, for the rea-
son thata GAZETTE reader sends, this
paper a copy. of Proctor Knott S
rabbit story, with the request that
the story be given an in sertion. Here
it is:
Proctor Knott, the patron saint of
Duluth, is credited in the Kentucky
journal, published at Frankfort, with
q story that throws some light on the
Sampson-Schley controversy. John
Yerxes, Kentucky politician, hunted
up Ex-Governor Knott one day and
showed him clearly in a long discourse
how all the honor of the memorable
Ieonfict off Santiago belonged to Adj
Iairal Sampson and how Commodore
ISehley's part in the affair was of mi
nor consequence. Proctor Knott lis
tened with much interest to Mr.. Yerxe's
powerful logic and in reply said simply:
s. It is exceedingly gratifying to me to
near you lake the Position you nave IN
the matter. It il. like balm to my
conscience and settles point that has
worried me many q day. 81 was walk
ing through the woods once with q boy
/ friend Of mine when we saw q rabbit
run into q sink hole. We stood around
the hole awhile; then Z told the boy to
keep watch while went to get some
/ fire to smoke the rabbit out. When
/ Ireturned the boy had the rabbit Z
took it away from him, claiming that
1 it belonged to me because I told him to
catch it if it came out. That was over
i fifty years ago, and you are the irst
man who has ever agreed with me that
i the rabbit was mine. /. now feel that
was right in taking it, and my con-
seience is at rest. =

THE GRAND JURY.
Returns Three Indictments and Makes
recommendations

The grand jury made its first and
final report to Judge Weber last
Thursday morning, about 4 o'clock,
The work Of the grand juryincluded
the Investigation of three alleged
criminal cases, III which indictments
were returned, thesinspection OF the
county Jail and court house, and the
returning of a recommendation
which Judge Weber ordered placed
on file. and a copy OF the same sent
to the county commissioners.
When the Judgc had examined
the three indictments and the rec
ommendation, and ordered the same
filed, he asked the jury whether
there was any further business re-
curing its attention, Foreman
Thompson replied in the negative
and then the Court threw a bouquet
Of forget-me- nots at the jury for
having been so expeditions, and he
regretted having to discharge such
a good looking body of men at that
time.
I One Of the indictments returned
I by the grand jury was against Silas
Boyer, the young man who escaped
from the county jail a month or more
ago. He is charged with rape, and
readers Of this paper will remember
the happening at Revere, which led
up to his arrest and Imprisonment.
That it is doubtful whether Boyer
will ever be secured to stand trial
is pretty generally conceded.
Another Indictment is against a
trio Of young men residing in Vail
township. The Indictment accuses
them with grand larceny in the first
degree in connection with their hav-
ling taken two half dollars and a
purse worth 20 cents from James
Morley on the night Of June 18th.
The three boys are Archie Milloy,
Percy Shining and Peter Fagen.
An hour or two after the Indictment
had been returned the boys were
arraigued, with Pierce q Harriost

QUERY BOX.
One is Started in Sixth District
Politics.
Judge Monroe Moves to Topeka
and Starts Trouble.
WOULD SUCCEED HIM.
X. E. WilIcOxson and Harry
Pestana Talked About.
How TulIy Scott Surprised Nash
vile People.

The action of Judge Lee Monroe in
moving his family into Topeka has sent
the Sixth district politicians ballooning,
especially those in the Twenty third
judicial district. They are bothered to
know what Judge Monroe is going to do
about resigning from his Office, and if
he does resign who will be his successor.
Judge 1Ionroe's family is already re-
moved into this city and this has given
rise to the rumor that the judge intends
to resign after the June term of count,
which IS held in Russell county. The
district is composed of Russell, Ellis,
Trego, Cove and Wallace counties.
If Judge Monroe resigns there will be
an appointment for Governor Stanley to
strong race viii develop for the appoint
ment- K E. Wilcoxson, of Logan
county, stands in close touch with the
governor and would readily support him
in race for the United States senator
ship to succeed Senator Harris Will
coXSOn resigned the registership of the
Wa-Keeney land office two months be-
fore his time was out and moved his
family back to his old home in Oakley.
If the signs are read Alright, he is pick
ed to win How to prevent his appoint
ment, always in case Judge Monroe re-
signs, IS giving the politicians there
sleepless nights.
Senator Harry Pestana was in Topeka
last week and this was the load on his
Iulnu- 1eSIana IS one or the able law
yers IN Russell county and this county
must be reckoned with when it comes
to filing the bench in that district
Russell county has big enough dele
cation to swing the nomination if one
other county will go with it. No other
two counties in the district can exert 50
much strength
For the regular nomination in 1902
and for the vacancy. Of course, if there
shall be one, there is scarcely any doubt
that J. H. Reeder is trimming his boat
to sail into the Office
1t is a pretty three -cornered fight al
ready, and as yet it is only a shadow
Monroe moved his family here, it was
stated that he need not resign, under
the law, and given out that he would
not. The politicians take up the fight
Of a shadow, readily, however and it's
different from fighting windmills. There
is nothing so very QuixOtic about Sixth
district politician.

DUCK MILLS ABSORBED.
Mount Vernon Concern Secures Con-
troll of Many Small Factories.

New York, May 27.-It is learned, says
a Baltimore dispatch to the Times,
through bankers of that city, that the
financial plan for the absorption of the
principal cotton duck mills of the coun-
try by the Mount Vernon Cotton Duck
company, provides that the capital of
the new company shall be $10,10O000
preferred stock, and S10,000,000 common
stock OF the preferred stock S., ,000, 900 is
reserved to be exchanged for $4,000, 900

S3.1OO, ,Oe0 is said to have been underWrit-
ten by a. syndicate to supply the funds
necessary for the new properties to be
acquired. The existing $9,500000 cotton
duck common is to be exchanged, at the
option of the holders, for the new stock
at the ratio of three shares of present
stock for two shares of the new stock
There has been considerable trading in
cotton duck incomes in Baltimore in the
last few days. The deal is said to be
progressing satisfactorily and the Bal

adoption Of the report as a whole The
moderator put the question, and then
there was one great roar of aye. IN
stantly the assembly rose en- masse and
sang the doxology. The moderator then
led in prayer. The end to the great dis
cussion which had continued into the
fourth day came so quickly that it took
everyone by surprise. DR. Moffatt who
introduced the harmonizing amendment
to recommendation B, was surrounded
by a crowd which congratulated him on
his success in bringing the matter to
such a satisfactory issue.
After the assembly had again settled
down, DR.. Baker offered a resolution
that the present revision committee be
continued, that the committee be in
creased to u and that DR.. Mimic be
member thereof and that he appoint the
additional members. This was also
adopted.
On motion of DR.. Dickey the assembly
decided to continue as secretary of the
revision committee, DR.. w. H. Roberts
of Philadelphia, who is also the stated
clerk of the assembly.

SUNDAY ON THE DESERT
Mckinley Train Makes the Trip
Across Nevada.

Ogden, Utah, May 27.-The presiden-
tial train traversed the state of Nevada
Sunday and reached Ogden at $3.50
o'clock at night. The route lay along
the Humboldt river, through the Ruby
and Wasatch mountains, and then de-
scended into the Salt Lake basin. Dur
ing most of the day the elevation ex-
ceeded 5000 feet, and snow-clad peaks
were continually in sight from the car
windows.
At this season of the year the ride
across Nevada is exceedingly disagree
able. The heat is oppressive and the
dust from the desert is frequently blind
ing. Fortunately for Mrs. Mckinley,
one of those heavy rain storms which so
rarely visit this region swept completely
over the state Saturday night, laying
the dust and tempering the atmosphere
It rained also several times during the
day. The weather seemed almost like
a special Intervention of Providence for
the benefit of the gentle sufferer.
Mrs Mckinley had passed a. comfort
able night crossing the SierraS, but the
trip Sunday was looked forward to with
some apprehension. The rain, however,
ported that Mrs. Mckinley was stand
ing the trip very we'll She suffered no
inconvenience from the rarif1ed atmos-
phere.
without incident The president makes
it a rule ordinarily not to travel on Sun
day, but the present circumstances were
so exceptional that he hid his compunc-
tions in order that his wife might the
sooner reach home.
A stop of fifteen minutes was made
at Ogden, where the train was shifted
to the tracks of the Union Pacific A
big crowd was at the station and the
local post of the G. A. r.. was drawn
up alongside of the track. Governor
Wells of Utah, with Chief Justice
Bartsch of the supreme court, Senators
Kearns and Judge Jam es A Miner, had
come from Salt Lake to greet the presi-
dent He appeared on the rear plat
form and shook hands with a number of
people, but did not make any remarks.
Edward Dickinson, general manager
of the Union Pacific, boarded the train
at Ogden and will accompany it as far
as Omaha, where the train makes the
run to Chicago over the Northwestern.
The return trip is being made at a
speed of only thirty miles an hour to
avoid any possible jar and discomfort to
Mrs Mckinley.
