for selfish reasons.

husband, is in the city. The suit grew
out of the lynching of five men confined in
the Ripley county Jail a few years ago.
Mr.. Hancock says the case cost the nifty
men who were sued in the neighborhood OF
$1,000. They compromised the case by pay
ing Mrs. Jenkins "a, 900. Attorneys fees and
other costs ran the figures up TO about
$1,000. Mr.. Hancock says he was willing
to compromise the case because he did
not want to go into a long and arduous
trial. Mrs. Jenkins sued on the theory that
the defendants were in the plot TO lynch
her husband. Hancock says he was abso-
lutely innocent of any plot. He says he
was in the courthouse the night OF the
lynching until 10 or IL o'clock and that
he and Judge Willard New left the court
house together. He went home and knew
nothing of the lynching until the following
morning.
Mr. Hancocks name was mentioned in
connection with the secretaryship of the
Republican state committee. He was in no
sense a candidate. he says, but had there
been ''tie-up' and the members had been
unable to agree on either of the principal
Candidates. his name would have been
brought before the committee. 1t was un-

MONEY IN PEANUTS.
Ned G.. Russell, of Virginia, Sells
Them by Wholesale.

''If 1 had four peanut stands selling a
bag of nuts a day each I'd sit in this hotel
all day long and not do a thing but drink
wine, observed a rather good-looking
young man at the Hotel English last night.
The speaker was Ned G.. Russell, of Nor
folk, Va. This was Mr.. Russelrs way OF
telling how prosperous a man may become
if he does a thriving business in the peanut
trade. Mr.. RusselIs line is peanuts, which
he sells on the wholesale plan. He has
just returned from a trip West and declares
that he sold $4,000 bags of nuts. Mr.. Rus
sell says the average peanut vender who
buys a bag of peanuts for about So will
make something like fifteen dollars profit
when he has sold out. Russell tells Of ii
man named Russo. who used TO deal In
peanuts in Harrisburg, Pa. who died d
millionaire. Mr.. Russell comes from the
holly. The eastern part of old Virginia il
famous for peanut growing. In fact, about
the only peanuts raised in this country
are grown in Virginia and Tennessee.
State pride would naturally cause Mr. Rus
sell to insist on the superiority Of the Vir-
ginia peanut over the one grown by the
sister State. Peanuts" said Mr.. Russell.

that Francis Gerard. nephew of the muir

instinct is aroused and he tells his sweet

and will devote all his energy TO bringing
Gerard and Kelly to justice. This is a long
and difficult task. Gerard is a fashionable
man of New York and Hickey follows

lures also lead him to a ward in a hos

State Board of Agriculture Arrang-
ing for the Fair.

The money expended by the State fair
keep the average young woman who loves
to wear bright colors supplied for years.
j. E. Mcdonald, former president of the
State Board of Agriculture, says that about
$500 was expended for ribbons last year.
Members of the Board of Agriculture began

airy meeting which begins to-day Mr..
Mcdonald said at the Grand Hotel last
night that the board would take up the
question of a revision of the premium list
at this meeting and arrange the pro-
S-amme for the State fair.
There seems to be a disposition 10 follow
the liberal policy inaugurated last year.
1t is the purpose to have the Sousa band
again this year. il satisfactory arrange
ments can be made: One of the features
hang up premiums" Mr.. Mcdonald
said, that will attract some of the
finest saddle horses in the country
and some of the finest equipages.
The board has received assurances that
we will have the hearty cooperation
TO make the agricultural and stock features
larger than before, and, in fact, il is the
intention to make the exhibit a State fair
that will compare faVOrably with any state
fair in the United States in all depart
ments. We may offer premiums large
enough in the racing department to put
us in the Grand Circuit"
Mr.. Mcdonald recalled that this is the
fiftieth anniversary of the Indiana State
fair At the first State fair cash premiums
amounting to $50 were given. and about
$500 worth of ribbons, badges, cups, etc.
As a comparison Mr.. Mcdonald remarked

Kubelik, the young Czech viOlinist was

TO AVOID STRIKES.
Steel Mills Not to BE Closed Pending
Adjustment of Wages.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 30.-The Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
has just taken a radical step that may
have a wholesome effect in avoiding strikes.
The organization has made an agreement
with the American Steel Hoop Company
and the Republic Iron and Steel Company
that the mills of these concerns shall not be
shut down next summer pending the wage
adjustment. In other words, there is to be
no strike, even if disagreement on wages
results. The new scale will be formulated
at the annual convention of the asSocia-
ton at Wheeling in April. An effort will
be made to have the scale extended through
three years, which would relieve much of
the uncertainty aroused every year by the
wage question.
President Shaffer said to-day that at the
Wheeling meeting a movement will be in
augurated which will do away entirely
with mill committees salaried district
presidents being elected whose duty it shall
be to settle all disputes in their districts.

GYPSY TENT ROBBED.
Claim Made that $500 Was stolen
from ID. Stanley.

There was CONSERVATION in the camp of
gypsies in Hammond Park last night about
o'clock when it was reported that the tent
of d. Stanley. son of king" Stanley. had
been robbed of $500 in money. The gypsies,
telephoned to the Farm saloon. opposite the
entrance TO the state fair grounds, for as
sistance. The proprietors there telephoned
downtown for the other inhabitants of the
gypsy camp to come home at once. They
did not return until about IL o'clock
The tent inhabited by Deel Stanley is situ-
ated Immediately back of the dancing pa
vilion in Hammond Park. The other men,
bers of the tribe with their firearms and
ammunition and also their watchdogs were
not far away. The work of the robbers was
quickly and quietly done that none of
the sleeping inhabitants was aroused One
of the gypsieS, who had been down the road
a short distance, returned and found the
walls Of the Stanley tent battered down
and the interior in a disordered condition.
He then awakened the remainder of the
tribe and a search showed that $500 was
missing.
