w. G. T. u.

The meeting Of the County w. c. T.U.
in this city last week, was an occasion of
much interest and the attendance from
outside was fair in double sense.
The program as given in last weeks
paper was carried through with few
substitutions, owing to unavoidable alb
scnce of few of the delegates.
Thursday evening a good sized au-
dience assembled at Kittson Hall. Adj
| dresses of welcome were made by Mrs.
F. M. King and Rev. S. Ache on andres
pended TO by Miss Mcintosh, OF Cavalier,
Miss Wylie, OF Drayton, gave d very ell
tertaining recitation in very superior
style. The feature Of the evening was
the address Of Mrs. Dye-Ellis, Of Wash
ton, in which she gave interesting and
amusing details Of the manners and ways
of conducting and non-condulting legis-
lation in Congress. Her experience with
Senator D. B. Hill, Of New York and
Matt Quay, Of Pennsylvania, in getting
assistance for prohibiting the sale Of
liquor in the Capitol at Washington, was
not very pleasant, while she extolled
Hon. M. N. Johnson, Senators Hans
brough and McCumber as giving her
every assistance possible, and particular
ly praised the two former as being the
introducers of bills prohibiting the sale
OF liquor in the CAPITOL and other tenn
perance legislation. Mrs. Ellis has a
clear, well modulated voice, is an easy,
pleasant speaker, and is entirely free
from that rant and exaggeration which
spois SO many speakers on this subject
Friday evening Kittson Hall was again
crowded TO the limit to hear the con-
testants for the county gold medal.
Pembna talent interspersed musical
solos and Duets and instrumental music,
assisted by several numbers by the or
chestra. according to the program in last
weeks paper.
The contestants all did finely. Not
one but spoke well, and four or five out
of the eight who contested, were very
nearly equal for the first place. The
judges announced tie between Dottie
Frye, of Hamilton, and Laura Wilson, OF
Cavalier. When Mrs. Harris, who had
charge OF the evenings exercises, an
nounced the tie, the suggestion was made
that instead of deciding the tie by lot or
vote, that the audience would pay for a
second medal, and upon taking col
lection, the necessary S. and more was
willingly given. The proceeds at the
door were little over S42.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were as follows: President, Mrs. A.
| Stewart, St. Thomas; Vice-President,
Mrs. F. NJ. King, Pemblna; Cor. Secy.,
Mrs. Smith, st. Thomas; Rec. Secy.,
Mrs. ]. ]. Manning, Bathgate; Treasurer,
Mrs. ]. x. Musselman, Cavalier.

And you, good Sir, should be lambasted

Oh! how could You be 50 craven,
As 10 pluck the ''santly Raven"
Of the ancient days of yore:
Know you II OF my learned master
That you but invite disaster,
Which will follow st ard faster
If you venture any more
Fit ut once from off that perch,
Do not dodge, nor scream, nor lu,ch,
Let the nights Piutonian shore,

Drowned in Red River ].

On Tuesday morning the body of a
man was found in the river about seven
miles north Of Emerson by Mr.. Gossilin,
on the line which he was using for
fishing purposes. Coroner Ekin was
notified of the discovery, and an
investigation revealed the facts that the
mans name was Rev. NJ. ]. Mercer,
a Roman, Catholic priest. who lately
left Armour, South Dakota. for St.
Norbert, Man. He was noticed around
the c. N. depot on Thursday and Friday
last. he having got off the train here on
Thursday, and on Friday he went
back to the station too late to catch the
train, checked valise to st. Norbert
and said he would walk to Letellier.
The victim had every appearance of
being unsound mind, and it was clearly
a case of suicide. He was we'll dressed
when noticed previous to his decease,
but when found he had on neither coat,
collar or oversh;rt, and his cuff buttons
were in his pocket. Both the legs of
his pants were torn off about the knee,
but no bruises of any kind were visible
on the body. A receipt for a money
order and S2.00were found on his person.
He was man OF about 40 years of age
and five feet two inches in height, fairly
stout. The Catholic authorities at
Letellier were notified of the sad occur
renee, and the body will receive respect
able burial. No inquest was held, as it
was not considered necessary. Emerson

MAKES HIS ANNUAL REPORT

upland variety of good quality and
productiveness. Several varieties of
the ideal type have been produced,
and the past years experiments show
conclusively that these varieties can
be made permanent. Egypt and South
Africa are waking up to their posi-
bilities in cotton production. and we
must develop and grow better and
more productive varieties than will be
grown by our competitors. Efforts to
develop a frost-resistant orange are
inaugurated. Hybrids between Japa-
nese and Russian varieties of wheat
have been obtained, giving the good
qualities of both-hardiness and early
ripening.
The department is investigating the
subject of cold storage as a necessary
adjunct to the rapidly developing fruit
interests. The viticultural investiga-
tions of the department relate large
ly to the introduction of European
table grapes into the Southern states,
and experimental vineyards of Euro
pean varieties are maintained in Flor
Ida and North Carolina for this pur-
pose. A fruit district survey has been
undertaken to determine the varieties
of the different fruits best suited to
the conditions prevailing in various
localities, and to study the influence

The work on the growing of Ameri-
can tea was continued during the year
at Pinehurst, near Summerville. S. c.,
in cooperation with DR.. Shepard.
There are now about 100 acres in tea
gardens The yield of tea in these gar
dens last year was about 4500 pounds
and this year will be about 5000
pounds of marketable tea. During the
year careful attention was given to
reducing the cost of the production of
tea, with very satisfactory results. A
tea farm will be established in Texas.
If suitable land and cooperation can
be secured.
Cooperation with the Bureau of
Chemistry and in response to urgent
demands, the series of tests to deter
mine the strength of the principal
merchantable timbers-discontinu in
1S96-have been taken up.
In tree planting the bureau has
sought to enlist the interest OF the pri-
waite land owner. Up to the close of the
last fiscal year 262 applications for as
slstance had been received, nearly 200,-
900 acres examined, and pa plans
made. Not only does example set by
each plantation affect the neighbor-
hood, but in many cases 1t has led to
d public agitation of the question of
tree planting. and extensive planting
on other land has frequently followed.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The annual re-
port of the Secretary of Agriculture
was made public to-day.
The Secretary opens his report with
a reference to the educational work of
the department, which he says has
grown in effectiveness since his last
annual report. He finds that the de-
mands of many public institutions for
men to conduct research in scientific
fields and for ability to manage agri-
cultural enterprises encourage young
men to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities thus afforded. The teaching
of the science of agriculture and of
the sciences relating to it are receiv-
ing more attention in the colleges in
stituted for the purpose, many of
which have neglected their fun duty
in the past.
The past year affords gratifying evil
dence of the value of forecast warn
ings of the Weather Bureau in saving
life and property. Ample testimony is
afforded that the value of property
thus saved from loss amounts to many
times the cost of maintaing the bu-
reau. The Secretary urges the desira-
bility of extending the distribution OF
daily forecasts co-extensively with the
rural free delivery. OF the 10000 rural
free-delivery. routes existing Aug. l,
1902, it has been found possible to serve
only 1000. To make the distribution
co-extensive with the rural free deliv-
cry would, he estimates, cost about
S100, 900.
Under the inspection service of the
Bureau of Animal Industry antemor-
tenn inspections for the year aggregate
nearly $4,000, 600, at a cost of a fraction
over one cent each. The number of
postmortem inspections was nearly 49,
100000. The meat inspection stamp was
affixed to over 23.000,000 packages of
meat products, and the number of GER
ucates of ordinary inspection issued
for meat products for export exclu-
sive Of horsefesh. was 32,744. The
quantity of pork examined miscroscop-
ically and exported exceeded $4,000 600
pounds. Altogether the value of exports
of animals and animal productions for
the year amounted to $244, 49,. 062 The
clearances of vessels carrying live
stock was 1897. and the inspection Of
these vessels has reduced the percent
age of loss in ocean transit to 0.13 per
cent. for cattle, 0.S9 per cent. for sheep,
and to 0.65 per cent for horses.

TAX RATE FOR STATE
FIXED AT 5.23 MILLS.
Hall Wants 1t at els, So as to Raise
All Money Needed.

Hall Wants 1t at 6.15, So as to Raise
All Money Needed.
Atlanta, Dec. 3.-The general tax bill
was taken up in the House this after
noon as soon as the franchise tax bill
had been passed. The first section
fixed the general tax rate at mills for
general purposes and .23 mills for the
sinking fund, making a total of 5.23
mills.
Mr.. Hall of Bibb county ask
ed Mr.. Reid of Campbell how
much more would be required
to raise all the money which the House
had appropriated in the general ap-
propriations bill. Mr.. Reid replied that
it would take .92 mills more. Mr.. Hall
at once introduced an amendment to
make the tax rate 6.15 mills, or Sc. Is
on $1,000. 1t was decided to postpone
consideration on this section until the
rest of the bill is completed.
The House, by a good majority
adopted the franchise tax amendment
to the general tax bill. This amend
ment is the same as the first section
of the Gambler bill, passed this after
noon. 1t defines all classes of fran
chises, and declares them to be taxable
the same as other property. This
makes practically two franchise bills
which the House passed to-day.
Work on the general tax bill will be
continued tomorrow.
