Prices.

Hiawatha, Ixas., Feb 2S.-Land is rap
idly rising in value in this part of kan

farmer VIII be worth about as much as
that Of the town man. Good farm land
in this county is hardly obtainable now
for less than $50 an acre, when not many
years ago $50 an acre was thought to be
the limit The farmers who moved here
in the SOS and '70s and bought large
tracts of land at low prices have in
every case become rich men by simply
holding to the land.
A Brown county farmer recently sold
160 acres seven miles from town. with

AFTER STATE PRINTER.
Stewart Amendment Provides for
Binding Contract.


When the ways and means committee
of the senate had its state printer bill
called up for final passage Friday after
noon Senator Stewart was ready with
an amendment placing all state binding
subject to competitive bidding. 1t has
been Stewards purpose at this session
of the legislature to make the public
printing less of a. private snap but this
is the first success he has met. His
amendment which carried after debate
by a vote of is to Is, was as follows:
AL folding. stitching, binding, cover
ing of blank books required to be fur
nished for any state institution, board,
officer or commission. shall be let to the
lowest responsible bidder, who shall be
required to give good and sufficient bond
for the prompt and faithful execution OF
good work to be done according to speci-
fications Of the executive council"
Senator Allen fought the amendment
the hardest. He said 1t was not in the
binding that the state lost money and
that if the legislature was anxious TO
cut down the expenses of the state plant
it ought to begin somewhere else. Stew
art replied that the constitution pre-
vented the legislature from doing any
thing to the printing itself and that the
binding was the only thing that it could
reduce cost upon. He said the state
printer was not prohibited from biddins
for the binding Il he wanted it, and that
the executive council would doubtless
give him the preference The bill car
ries an appropriation of S124 600 for the
next two years.

The ubordinate Officials.

In both branches of the Maine
Legislature the members, and the pre-
siding officers in particular are to be
congratulated upon the subordinate
officers chosen, yesterday morning.
These officers were named in the Re
publican caucuses of Tuesday eve
ming. most of them unanimously, and
in nearly every case the official chosen
is one who has served faithfully in pre-
vious sessions and whose reelection is
a deserved tribute to worth and
efficiency. Secretary Dunbar and
Clerk Cotton now enter upon their
seventh terms, and neither body would
seem quite itself without these two in
valuable officials at their posts. AL
ways courteous. modest and obliging,
no emergency finds them unprepared,
and to the presiding officers in par
ticular their experience makes light
what would otherwise be great bur-
den of responsibility. The two branch
es are highly fortunate that the SER
vices of these two men are thus re-
tanned.
Splendid selections also were made in
the assistant clerk and the assistant
secretary. Mr.. Thompson has shown
his fitness for the place and well de-
served his reelection, and in Mr.. Far

mebec bar. man of culture, energy and
spotless character who is eminently

Yesterday. but heavy buying which has
been going on meant a large increase IN
the number of holders waiting TO take
profits The offerings of this class over
came the market, today. and carried
prices to a lower level. Foreign senti-
ment over the Dardanelles protest by
Gerat Britain was reflected in interna-
tional stocks at the opening. The selling
for London account was heavy. This
pressure upon the stock market was
strongly resisted and pretty general re-
coverias were soon effected. But realiz
ing sales continued large at the rally
and the market gave way again. Sub
sequent efforts were made to revive it
by bidding up individual stocks but the
selling was renewed on all advances ard

training for the duties that will de-
volve upon him. The minor offices
will all be well filled, and it is impor-
tant that they should he, for no office
in the gift of the two bodies is such
that they can afford to fill it with an
inferior man. Down through the list
to the active young pages, it is certain
that the newly elected officials, the old
ones and those chosen for the first
time, will serve to the entire satisfac-
ton of the two bodies and with credit
to themselves. 1t is particularly pleas

loved veteran. Messenger Charles H.

whose faithful service through many
