When a baby is named for a poor

ONE REASON MEAT Is HIGH.

The prevailing high price of meat ap-
pears to be partially accounted for in
the July summary of internal commerce
issued by the treasury bureau of statis-
tics.
The report states that for seven
months ending with July, 1902. the re-
ceipts of livestock at the five markets
OF Chicago Kansas City, Omaha. ST.
Louis. and st. Joseph reached a total of
S4.222. 694 head. in contrast with $685.
s72 head for the corresponding period of
1901. There is a difference of 1.1o1 .s78
head to be supplied before the receipts
of the current year shall have equa11ed
those of last year..
Analysis of. stocks of cut meats at
the five markets of Chicago Kansas
City, Omaha, St. Joseph. and Milwaukee
show that on July 81 of the current year
there were on hand 20s.0s4, oS7 pounds

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,
From the Ne

To know better is easy; it's the doing
better when you know it that's hard
Some people have such a habit of being
in hard lines that they can get rid of one
disease only by catching another.
Somehow it makes a girl with a thin
neck awfully nervous to have people say
there is a sure way of telling every body s
measurements.
No matter how much a man loves a wo-
man he can't help wondering sometimes
how small part gray matter plays in
that sort of thing.
After a girl has got a good figure and
wavy hair and smooth complexion and
attractive teeth it will be time enough to
worry about brains.

ELOPERS ON HANDCAR.
Dash Down Grade and Away
From the Husband.

Washington, N. J., Sept. 9-Out of
Jersey have come many tales OF the
coming of clipping couples but none in
truth or in melodrama fit to be writ
ten on the same page with the adven-
ture of George Stafford and Margaret
Track, who. in the black hour of cap
ture and impending separation, took
flight on a Lackawanna handcar and
pumped their way out of the reach and
wrath of the injured husband.
This story begins in Wharton. which
is 20 miles east Of this pleace and Is
known to Jerseymcn as Porteram- The
village once produced pair who elOped
on a tandem bicycle. and again there
was a fellow who tried 1t with an auto
mobile, but the power gave out and
yielded him and the girl up to the pur-
suers.
In Wharton lives oliver Track, who
is so years old. respected by his fellow
townmen and known for his softness of
heart He is boss of the mines. Though
his hair Is well mixed with gray, he was
young enough to win a girl of 20, and
| he married her six months ago. She
was counted one of the prettiest girls
of the village. Track made a comforta-
| BILE home for her and apparently they
we're quite happy.
Only a month ago George Stafford
| came to live in Wharton. He is an
| athletic young fellow from Ohio, college
| bred, who wanted to learn the mining
| business and got a place in the mine
| company's Office. In going from his
| boarding place to the office he passed
| the Track house several times a day
Mrs. Track generally was on the YER
| anda- Mr.. Track was toiling at the
mines
| 1t was easy for Stafford to obtain ar
| Introduction. and the girls on the neigh
| boring verandas used to giggle over the
| chats which Stafford and Mrs. Frack
had across the gate every day.
| After while Stafford found time te

| and the humble of the gossips grew
! so loud that everybody In Wharton
heard it. That is. Of course. everybody
i but Mr.. Track.
Last Monday Mr. Track came home
| for dinner at the usual hour. There wa.
| no fire in the stove. no table spread
no wife to greet him. The best of hel
| clothes were gone from the ~wardrobt
and a new bicycle which Track had
bought for her week before had van
ished. too. Stafford had not appeared

J. r. McKeever and Contractor Max
well who is doing some excavating for
the city are at loggerheads and Mr.. Nc
Keever registered a kick with the city
engineer this morning. Mr.. McKeever
purchased 100 loads of dirt from the
city to be delivered at certain number
on the west side. When the dirt began
to arrive the contractor wanted Nc
Keever to furnish man to help unload
Mr.. McKeever was of the opinion that
it was not his duty to go to this ex-
pense. Soon after the dirt ceased to be
hauled for Mr.. McKeever and all his
efforts to have his order filled met with
no results. He declares the contractor
is filling orders received later than his
and keeps putting him OF from time to

SAW MILLS ORGANIZING.
Want Protection Against the
Wholesale Dealers.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 1.-As re-
suit of the conference to be helu here
today it is expected that every import
ant saw mill firm of Arkansas, Ten.
nessee. Mississippi and Louisiana
will be taken into the membership of
the Hardwood Manufacturer 8 Assooia-
ton. The purpose is to protect the
interests of the manufacturers against
the wholesale dealers, who are in the
majority in the National Hardwood
Association.
The differ ences between the manu-
faoturers and the wholesale dealers
arose at the last meeting of the Hard
wood Association over the question Of
uniform grading and inspection, the
former favorlng the adoption of these
measures and the latter disappearing.
The wholesale dealers can place the
lumber in any grade they wish and
the manufacturer, it is said, has no
recourse. The manufacturers in the
new movement declare that they will
become so strong through organiza-
ton that they will either force the
National Hardwood Association to
make desired concessions or will elm
mate the wholesalers, selling directly
to the consumer.

LABOR FAMINE
MOST FULFILLING
rHE FARMERS ARE HAVING
LOTS OF TROUBLE.
LABOR BEING ENTICED
Negroes Are Leaving the Farms
for Railroad and
Levee Work.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. s.-The labor
famine in Mississippi is now the puz-
cling problem presented to the plan
ters for solution. From all parts of
the State comes reports Of the law
against entioing labor being violated
by contractors who are recruiting men
for railroad and levee work, and in
nearly every instance it is impossible
to capture the violators. TIE agents
move about among the negroes with
much stealth and shire wdne ss, and be-
fore the farmers can realize what is
about to happen there is general
exodus OF the negroes from the COM
munity, and invariably at q time
when their services are badly needed
in harvesting the crops.
The farmers Of Amite county have
taken the bull by the horns, so to
speak, and somewhat radical method
OF protection is proposed. A farmer
club has been organized and several
secret meetings held at whiohthe stu
alton was discussed and plans devils ed
to prevent the frequent raids of labor
agents, and to deal out punishm emit
when caught..in the act Of .enticing.
The secret feature Of the organiza-
ton. however, is not generally en-
dorsed, some of the farmers fearing
that it might bear some semblance to
whitecappers, and it is now proposed
that all the. meetings shall be public,
and gathering has been called to
assemble at Liberty on Wednesday.
and all the farmers in the county are
invited to participate in the delibera-
tions.
