New Southern Potatoes Better and
Cheaper than Year Ago-Upward
Tendency in Feed Continues.

There is little that is new that can be
said in regard to the condition of the
local market this week. There has been
a slight decline in new potatoes. A few
new native potatoes are on the market,
but the southern potatoes are of much
better quality and the price is less than
1t was a year ago. Eggs have advanced
to % cents at retail. Blueberries are
on the market at 10 cents a quart. The
supply this year will be short, according
to present indications. The berries are
smaller than usual, probably on account
of continued cold weather. Summer

THE PROPOSAL OF The MINERS NEGROES Fight VERY COSTLY SCRUB STEER
Missouri N6lOhDOrS DlsDut6 Over a Cali and
Maui 60 Broke

MACON, Mo-, Sept John Massen-
gale, a wealthy Macon county stock
man, through his attorneys, has filed
in the Charlton county circuit court
motion to compel his neighbor over the
county line, Elijah E. Rice, to put up
a $4,000 bond to cover the costs in an
action involving the ownership of
scrub steer worth, possibly, at a gener-
Gus estimate, $50. Rice was the ap-
pellant from the Justices court, and to
get in the circuit court he produced a
$500 bond. Since the case got in the
circuit court there have been two
appeals. AS the majority of the resi-
dents in the neighborhood of the war
ring farmers were witnesses, and as
there were many other incidental ex-
penses pending the long litigation, the
costs have now reached enormous pro-
portions. The case is on the docket
for trial next week at Salisbury, but
IMessengales attorney will ask change
of venue from both the county and dis
trict.
The steer, described in the petition as
being ''2-year-old, of dark red color
and small white spot in the face, with
of the value of $780," began to get in
the thoroughbred class when Massen-
gale instituted replevin proceedings
against Rice before Justice NJ. ]. Lain,

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The Brooklyn
Eagle publishes the following:
The Eagle is informed by person
concerning whose opportunities to
know the trust there can be no doubt,
'whotse standing is of the very high
est in the world of finance and trans
portation, that the coal presidents, as
Representatives of the operators of the
coal mines, have in their possession a
written paper, signatures duly at
tached, which to say the least, is SEN
sational in its nature.
1t is a proposition from the repre-
sentatives of the miners for a conces-
sion from the operators, leading to a
suspension of the strike.
One Of the demands of the miners was
that there should be granted to them an
advance of 10 cents per ton.
The demonstration was made to the
authorities of the miners organization
or unions, in the lead of the strike
that is to say, Mitchell-through the

tiff claims the animal had wandered
from his premises over into the do
mains of Rice, and the latter had per-
sistently refused to give it up Rice
said it was his steer, and Massengale
said it was his. There have been two
trials before Justice Lain, two In the
circuit court and one in the appellate
court at Kansas City. Honors have
been about even. Massengale received
the verdict at the trial before the JUS
tice. Rice was awarded the decision
in the circuit court, and then Ihassen-
gale won reversal in the appellate
court. According to the run of luck
the next victory goes to Rice, but Mas
sengale's lawyers think they will break
the run this time.
Friends have gone to the litigants
and urged a settlement before they
spent all their money in lawsuits. Be
fore he perfected his appeal some one
kindly disposed approached Massengale
and said it would be much better to
compromise and drop the thing.

the operators, since they were limited
to the sum of 81 per ton, the cost of
transportation and distribution not be-
ing counted in that if the demand for
10 cents advance were conceded, there
would be left for the operators only
cent profit per gross ton, a profit that
would vanish entirely in the loss in
wear and tear of machinery and vast
age of of operation.
The demonstration seemed to make
impossible the advance demanded, and
was met by a written proposition that
the operators should advance the price
of the ton on the cars ready for trans
portation to SLIPS per ton, giving OF
that advance Is cents to the miners
and taking to themselves 10 cents.
This proposition, which, if accepted,
would have secured to the miners 10
cents advance instead of the 10 they
had at first demanded, and 81 cents
profit to the operators instead of the II
cents they now insist is their profit,
with the final result of increasing the
cost of a net ton of coal to the con-
sumner at least so cents, in view of the
percentages of profit all along the line,

Over 80 Years
Hnd Nearly Starved

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept 2.-After ly-
ing four days without food or drink
John Raymer, 81 years old, who is too
weak to tell much about himself, was
found by surveying party in school
house on the Rock road, four miles
from East St. Louis, yesterday after
noon.
The surveyors were passing the
school house when they heard some
one cough inside. Upon entering they
found the old man stretched upon a
couch in the cloak room.
He was unable to raise his head when
the men entered, and though he tried
to speak when they came close to him.
his tongue was so swollen from thirst
that he could not utter a sound. The
signs he made were not necessary to
convey to his rescuers his burning de-
sire for water
One OF the men rushed to a brook
near by, and when he returned with
cup full of water the aged sufferer
grabbed it eagerly. A telephone mes
sage was sent for an ambulance, and he
was carried to st. Mary's hospital, in
East st. Louis. There the physicians
stated that starvation was the chief
trouble, and that probably he would
recover.
The patient was barely able to state
that his name is John Rayner, and
that he is 81 years old. He said he
had been working a few miles from the
school house, and while passing there
was taken sick four days ago.

know about work from hearsay.

Commissioners

OMAHA, Neb., Sept "A tremen-
| dous sensation was caused in local Re
publican circles yesterday when an
afternoon newspaper printed the story
that Governor Savage was in Omaha
! for the purpose of making public the
names of those who offered him bribe
tive weeks ago in the matter of appoint
ments on the Omaha fire and police
board.
The governor gave out letter last
night witch he sent to Edward Rose
water, editor of the Omaha Bee, the
leading Republican paper of Nebraska.
in which he says:
Il vii say to you now. since you seem
to have had a painful lapse of memory
on the subject, that I then had, and
now have, in my possession a note
given and signed by you for money
borrowed from State treasurer, which
up to the present you have failed to
pay. On the back of the note are en-
dorsements of $40 in printing.
'You seem to take pride in saying
that you borrowed no money from J. S.
BARLEY. Let me remind you that
your transgression is in no way min
imized because of the fact that y-u
borrowed from State treasurer other
than Barley
Contrary to your allegations, per-
nit me to say that have no desire to
besmirch your character, or that of
any other citizen.
Il think that even you will agree
with me when say that. considering
the wanton assaults made on my Off
cial conduct, and considering further
that have all along been armed with

hibited more than ordinary patience
