PLENTY OF BEANS IN SIGHT.
Boston Rejoices Over the Great
Western Crop of the Staple.
Another Month VIII See Record
Breaking Crop Cleaned Up
and Marketed.

Boston, Sept. 5.-Reports from the
west state that in another month a
record-breaking crop of beans will
have been harvested and sent ~on its
way to the Hub. One of Boston's most
prominent dealers stated last week that
from the present indications the years
supply promised to be more than suf-
ficient for all home market demands.
In Michigan alone it is reported that
100000 bushels will be harvested this
year. The season has been remark
ably favorable for the crop.
Boston wholesalers and retailers are
jubilant over the bright prospects for
the season. Last year when the fall
crop was harvested the scant supply
received in this city, which was $4,000
bushels less than the preceding year,
sent the prices of the Hubs staple food
soaring beyond the profit-makipg
schedule. More especially have bakers
and small retail dealers had to suffer
on account of the high prices. Beans
which formerly sold for $3.50 to 81 a
bushel jumped to $2.25 and $3.50.
AS soon as the 1903 crop begins to
arrive boston dealers declare that the
price of beans will undoubtedly drop
to the old market figure.

Deal and Sues Western Union
Telegraph Co.

St. Louis, Sept 5.-A. J. Schneider
filed suit against the Western Union
Telegraph Co., Friday afternoon, in the
circuit court for $1,0S5.25, a loss occa-
stoned him in a real estate trade by
the non-delivery of a message sent
from the Union Station telegraph Office
May l, 1903.
Mr.. Schneider says that he had come
to st. Louis to arrange for the DISPOSE
ton of a piece of st. Joseph, Mich,
real estate at $4,000. The deal was
made, dependent upon his delivering
the deeds the next day. To do so he
would have to meet his wife in Chica-
go.
He sent her message addressed to
$50 West Madison street, second fiat,
announcing the time of his arrival.
When he reached Chicago he learned
that the message had not been deliv-
cred, and Mrs. Schneider had left the
city. The trade failed of consumma-
ton. The property has since failed to
sell at the same price. He asks $1,000
damages for the failure of the trade,
$50 for expenses incurred, $25 for time
lost in arrangements, and rs cents, the
amount paid for the message.

NONE Drawer THAN THESE.
Six Brave Trackmen Face Certain
Death Like Heroes.
fingered i'm the Very Face Of Death
knowing Failure Meant the
Lives of Many Others.

Edwardsville, ILL.,, Sept Six men
labored desperately, early Friday, to re-
move heavy handcar from the rails
in time to save the Continental Limit
ed, the Wabash flyer between st. Louis
and New York, from possible wreck
near Edwardsville, Ill. While the train
swOoped down upon them each one
nervily stuck to his task. and how they
all escaped being killed is unexplained.
The men are in the employ of W. P.
Carmichael, of Williamsport, N. Y, the
bridge constructor, who has the con-
tract for all the bridges along the
short line the Wabash is building. He
wired them that he would reach Ed
wardsville, Friday morning, to inspect
the work two miles south of town and
would be On No. IA, the Chicago train.
The men, accordingly, started to the
station with a handcar to convey him
back.
Figuring on the time of No. IA, they
forgot that the Continental preceded
it 20 minutes, and were pumping away
when it suddenly swept down upon
them at a mile-a-minute clip.
Instead of fleeing from the imminent
danger the men endeavored to throw
the car from the rails, lingering in the
very face of death, nerved by the
thought that their failure might mean
the derailment of the great train.
They had partly turned the car
around when the engine was upon
them. 1t struck the car like light
ming bolt, hurting the men to either
side of the track and grinding the car
to splinters.
The engineer stopped as quickly as
possible, and backed up to pick up the
victims, expecting to find number
of mangled bodies. But while the men
were bruised they had survived the ex-
perience to a man, and were complf-
mented on their nerve by trainmen and
passengers.

A FITTING TRIBUTE
TO SIR THOMAS
Pilgrims Club Royalty Entertain
the Greatest Of Sportsmen.
GENERAL WHEELER'S ADDRESS
Will Carry Back With Him$tO Our
Mother Country the Ever Increase
Ing Love and Admiration of
the American People.

New York, Sept Sir Thomas Lip
grims of the United States at dinner
given in his honor, last night, at the
Waldorf-Astoria.
Nearly one hundred and fifty men
prominent in many walks of life were
present. At either end of the hall
was hung Sir Thomas private en-
blems, the Shamrock on a field of yell
low, surrounded by a green border,
while above the guests table were
draped the flags of Great Britain and
the United States. Bunches of red
roses on each table and green's on the
walls completed the decorations.
Surmounting the menus, which bore
the flags of Sir Thomas and the Royal
Ulster Yacht club, was cardboard
yacht, which bore no name.
In order to enliven affairs somewhat
at the outset the guests sang little
song to the refrain of "Mr. Dooley,"
which told of the virtues of Sir Thomas
and his enduring efforts to lift the cup.
There had been arranged no formal
speeches, but Gen. Joseph Wheeler
spoke as follows:
The Pilgrims club appreciates the
honor conferred upon it's members and
its guests by the presence with us of
Sir Thomas Upton.
THE events of the last two weeks
is an illustration of the old and tried
saying that we sometimes build higher
than we know. 1t is fortunate not only
for himself, but for the world that Sir
Thomas did not succeed in the special
purpose for which he crossed the
ocean. What seemed to be loss, mis-
fortune and disaster, has become in
reality fortune, triumph and victory.
Sir Thomas came to America to win a
silver cup He has won what is even
better than a golden crown-the adj
miration, applause and love of the
world. Anyone can be grand in sue
cess, and victory, but the world pro-
duces few who can rise to the height
of grandeur, when their most herculean
efforts have failed in the cherished
purpose of their ambitions.
I'm all ages and in all countries the
ablest and strongest of men have at
times been overwhelmed with misfor-
tune and disaster. The greatest and
most successful soldiers have lost bat
ties, have lost campaigns. have lost
kingdoms, empires and country. 1t
only proves that misfortune is some
times even more potential than genius,
and that the strongest and best efforts
can not overcome the irresistible. But
how often it is that such reverses are
necessary to show the true greatness
of character in both nations and indi-
viduals.
For months Sir Thomas has been
the most prominent and conspicuous
individual upon the face of the globe
The calcium search light has been up
on him every moment, and when he
returns to our mother country, he will
be welcomed as one who in the eyes
of the world has elevated the standard
of Anglo-Saxon manhood and he will
carry with him the ever-increasing love
and admiration of the American peo-
pie"
