The Primary.

A very heavy vote was polled last
Saturday, especially in Van Buren,.
The weather conditions had much to do
with bringing out this vote. The ground
was in such condition from the rains of
the previous week as to prevent blowing
and planting, so there was good turn
out.
OF course. this like every primary
had its surprises, pleasant to one side
and unpleasant to the other.
AS result of the primary we will be
prepared, as soon as the vote has been
canvassed, to place at our masthead u
strong ticket, one that will be elected
from end to end next September. In
this county Senator Jones was In the
hands of friends and they endorsed him
by majority Of over three to one.
Contrary to the expectation of many of
Col. Rector friends, Davis carried the
county, though not by a very heavy
majority. Rather an anomaly, this
endorsement of Jones and Davis, char.
acters Numerically the opposite.
For sheriff there was only one name
on the ticket, that of the present able
occupant of that office.
For representatives, Park Crutcher
and John Winn we're chosen and they
will conscientiously represent Crawford
in the next general assembly.
For circuit clerk, d. W. Moore, Jr. +,
won by handsome majority over his
three opponents.
Bean Winfrey was the choice for
county clerk, an Office he will fill with
ability and to the satisfaction of the en-
tire people.
j. S. Grammar was the choice over
three worthy opponents as the Demo
cratic candidate for treasurer and will
win in walk next September.
w. A. Cole, in spite of strong oppo.
sition, was renominated for the Office
of assessor by heavy majority.
For constable of Van Buren, township
j. W. Smith was elected by handsome
majority over J. M. Baxter and r. P.
Foster, and for justices Of the peace,
Messrs. Harvey, Ferguson, Miller,
West and Davis received the nomiua.
ton.
The contest for several of the offices
was quite animated, but now that the
primary is past we feel certain that
every one of the defeated candidates
will do everything In his power to help
the election Of his former opponent, as
we'll as the entire ticket.
The county convention will meet In
Van Buren, today to canvass the returns
of Saturdays primary.

A RAID ON POULTRY.
Big Packers Evidently Planning to
Control That Market
NO CHANCE FOR SMALL HANDLERS
They're willing to Admit That
They're Up Against "a Hard
Propositions.

Announcement was made last week from
the east that the combination of big meat
packers would attempt to secure control
of poultry, vegetables, butter and eggs
as well as of meats However, skeptical
local dealers may have been regarding
the announcement there have been de-
velopments which bear it out along various
lines. To the trust is directly ascribed
the recent boost in eggs and to-day it is
learned that Swift & Co.. are arranging
their cold storage facilities both at their
ST. Paul and South st. Paul plants, pre-
paratory to beginning an attack upon the
poultry market.
The combine evidently plans to do with
poultry just what it has done with beef
and eggs. First, farmers will be paid a
good price for their chickens; better
price, by perhaps half cent pound
than the ordinary dealer can afford to pay.
This will insure heavy supply of poul-
try, all Of which will at once be put in
cold storage to await future demand.
Combine firms could take practically all
the poultry on the market, trusting to
their cold storage facilities to guard
against loss, and, in this way, to crowd
out the small dealer. When that object
has been accomplished prices of poultry
will be as thoroughly at the mercy of the
trust as is the price of beef to-day.
Heavy buying on the local market has
already made itself felt; and one local
handler, in discussing the situation this
morning, said that he realized there was
no hope for him, and that he did not ex-
pect to be in the poultry business another
year. The trust, he said, would make it
impossible for him to earn his living in
that WaY .a'f-

MADE THEM "SABE
How Corriston Secured Information
Before Discovery Of Water Cure.
'PINos DENIED THEIR IDENTITY
When 1t Came to Last Words
However. They Gave Their
Real Names.

"This5 so-called 'water-cure' used in
connection with army operations in the
Philippines is new thing to me-" said
Major Frank Corriston to-day, "but l do
not imagine it is half as bad as some peo-
pie at this end of the line think it is.
There was no such thing as the water
cure during the stay of the Thirteenth
Minnesota in the Philippines, but there
was what was probably an equally effec-
tive method of getting at facts that were
wanted from obstinate natives known as
the rifle cure used it myself on one
occasion and can testify that 1t did the
business very effectualy.
'"The occasion in question was few
days before the insurgent attack on
Manila. Filipinos in town were trying
hard to get to their friends outside, and
we were doing our best to stop them
One night my company caught thirty at
one Of the bridges and brought them in
to company headquarters. Every man of
them had concealed somewhere on his
person enlistment papers in the terri
tcrial militia, which made it plain enough
that they were headed for the insurgent
army. All that we needed to justify US
in OBTAINING them as prisoners OF war
was to prove that the name OF the bearer
correspondent with the name in the en-
listment paper. This seemed at first to be

Of them when asked the direct question
declared that he did not understand what
was wanted. NO sahe, was the invari-
able answer to every question put them
through the interpreter. l knew we'll
enough that they did 'sabe,' and If had
known of the water cure l might have
given it a trial then and there. But l
gave them test of the merits of the
rifle cure. and 1t worked beautifully.
ordered the sergeant to march the mo
sabe' fellows up against the wall, then
had half-a-d dozen of the men load their
muskets. then said to the interpreter,
Tell those fellows that if they wish any
last words sent to their families or
friends to give us their names and will
see that the messages are duly sent and
delivered
Immediately every man Of them woke
up to what was wanted and their names
came in quick order. In each case the
name given correspondent with the name
written in the enlistment papers. The
rifle cure is only another name for the
great game of American bluff
