It looks as though the most effective. and certainly the most original, means of discourtging the kid NEW PLAN naping Industry. has TO HEAD been devised by citi- OFF KID zen of St. Louis. This WATERS. gentleman, who is au
 officer of one of the courts of that city. recently received an anonymous note directing him to have $j0.0O0 in certain place by q given time. and notifying him that if be abducted, never to return.
 The man upon whom this demand was made either did not have the money with him at the time or felt that he could Rct conveniently spare 1t. Instead, therefore, Cf yielding to the threat, he notified the police of the matter and announce'i he would pay reward of $500 to anybody who kid naped his boy, His next step was to arm his son with several large and os- tentaeious revolvers. with instructions to use them freely upon anybody who attempted to steal him. The young man is consequently on war footing, not exactly with a chip on his shoul- der. but with n trnsty gun" in each of his hip pockets and filled with heroic resolve that the kldnapers who capture him shall earn their money.
 Much as we may admire i.s original ity. however. this method of heading off the child stealers possesses certain drawbacks. It might lead to all sorts of confusion If we'll meaning stranger were to stop that young man on the street' to ask him ar innocent ques- tion about the tlDc of day or the way to church. It Is calculated moreover. to make persons unduly suspicious of one another. and if the boy Is inn petuous by nature he might easily be tempted to distribute cold lead in quarters where 1t was entirely unde- served. The St. Louis plan. therefore, while dlstinctiyely novel, borders too closely on the Kentucky plan to be- come popular Is general adoption, while 1t might end the business of kidnapping, would be dreadfully dis couraging to the social spirit.

Texas Rice Men viii Organize.

From what can be gathered
from the numerous publications
in Southeast Texas, it is now the
determined Intention Of ,the rice
men Of Southeast Texas to shake
off all connection with the Rice
Association of America.
The Beaumont Enterprise OF
Monday prints tue owing on
the subject:
'"That the only important re-
suit Of the Crowley meeting So
far as the Texans are concerned
will be the organization Of Texas
Association for her ownintere.ts
is q fact now admitted and CON
cedod by all the Beaumont mill
efs anG ric. farmers, and the
sooner he Organization j. per
tec:e.s The l,e..t-r il will be. The
primary ohj-"t OF the Crowley
meeting Wa. to fight New Orr. aus
AMI New York. and the .i'2xaus
we're induced ojoin in this shink
ing they were simply organizing
for the protection that united
effort always brings and not for
the purpose of antag onizing any
thing or any body.
"The result WAS that the Tex
ans quietly acquiesced in all the
proceedings and left the meet
ing in a good humor and with;the
kindliest feelings.
"They do not want to fight any
particular market, but want to
improve their conditions with a
view to getting an increased
prlce for their product. This is
the Texan S object regardless of
what the meeting decided upon,
and that will be the reason for
the orgau:zatio Of a Texas asso-
citation as soon as possible. 1t
will probably be the early part
Of January"
The Houston papers are also
taking up q movement in this
connection and there is little
doubt but wAaa a new association
will be organized.

we're few and novel features that
caught the crowd Immediately.
A bsnd concert preceded the

which was treat for lovers.
The ring performance intro
duced the Earl Sisters, IN thrill
leg aerial feats; the ybells in
evolutions on lhe lofty ladder; the
six Eddys, whose acrobatic feats
we're wonderful: Miss Edna, a
beautiful and daring performer,
and many others famous in the
ring, not to speak OF the clowns,
who kept the people in q roar of
laughter from theopening tourna-
ment to the hippodrome races.
Although, the performance is a
Kaleidoscope of marvellous feats
and funny acts, and beyond dou bt
is one of the best ever seen in
this city"
This coming from such a re-
putable paper as the Topeka
Journal assures the people Of the

tainly be packed at the two per

with price that's right. They will
get what their clip is worth.
''The yield has been generally
large. Two hundred million pounds
more wool is used by the manufac-
turers then the United States pro-
duces. The Montana clip is of good
quality and should bring better pri-
ces than are now offered. Ofcourse,
it is to the interest of the eastern
buyers to commence operations in
the field early in the season and en-
deavor to discourage sellers. That
is natural. They want to buy as
chcaply as they can, and the only
question is, can the wool grower hang
on for what his product is worth, or
has he the foresight and courage to
do so?
There will not be so many con-
.ignments of wool this year as last.
The Montana grower is beginning to
realize that when his wool is stored
in the warehouse in the east the east
ern buyer has him at his mercy.
The wool is there at his door. All
that he has to do is go and get it.
