. FIELD OF labor

The endorsement of The Press by
Mill Workers union. No. 1860, was the
subject of much favorable comment
yesterday at Central Labor hall. E.
s. Potts Is Of the opinion that every
other union in the city ought to fol-
low the example of the carpenters
as the cause of labor In Spokane has
been greatly benefited by The Press.
He said:
1.-The unions ought to take the mat
ter up. They should realize that the
establishment In the city of a paper
that stands by the workingmen de-
serves to be upheld and endorsed in
the strongest terms.
Patrick Ford of the pressmen's
union received a letter yesterday
from the east in which it was stated
that the long standing trouble be-
tween the international bodies of the
printers. pressmen and bookbinders
has been settled. The difficulty arose
several years ago on account of the
refusal of the typographical union to
demand the allied union label. This
label represented the three crafts
mentioned and showed that the firms
using it were union throughout and
not simply in one department. The
action of the printers caused an i'm
mediate disruption in the ranks of
the printing trades. The national
president of the typographical union
has recognized the ACCESSIBILITY of
adopting the allied label. A few days
ago an agreement to use 1t was sign
ed by President Lynch of the typo
graphical union. President Higgins of

''Look at my hands," said a man as
he drifted into the office of a we'll

it he stretched his fingers out to their
full length, exposing the palms of his
hands. The insides of his hands were
very rough That was exactly what
he wan I'd to call attention to.

asked "Splittin wood" answered the
man. Not much" said the fellow
with rusty hands. 'Maulin' rails"

the short reply of the man with the
heavy hands. "Pullin' cross-cut
saw" suggested the man as last re-
sort, but he was wrong again. well.

he asked with show of impatience
"Handlin' money" was the mans re-
ply, and he smiled at the look of dis
gust and incredulity which spread over
the face of the man he was talking
to. Yes. sir; l got all these corns and

that K. j. Arnold & Co. the St Louis

the country have been victimized by

JURY FAILS TO AGREE
FIASCO IN INDIANAPOLIS GRAVE
ROB6ERY CASE.
Jurors Become Involved in AIterca-
cation and Fail to Reach Verdict
Evidence Showed that Organized
Bands Despoiied Cemeteries.


At Indianapolis the jury in the trial
of DR.. j. C. Alexander. indicted ON a
charge Of completely in grave robbing,
was discharged at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning after being out forty eight hours
and failing TO agree. On the final ballot
the vote stood eight for acquittal and
four for conviction. There We're sew
eral serious alterations during the con
slderation of the evidence in the jury
room which came very nearly resulting
IN blows. The cause of the personal feel
ings in the matter. it is said, was a re-
suit of the wives of the jurors being
permitted to visit them.
Attorneys declare that the imputation
that any outside influences were brought
TO bear on the jury or any member of it
cannot affect the result of the case as it
now stands. If, however, conviction
had been returned the alteration and
the causes leading up TO it would have
been grounds for the granting of new
trial. Public opinion is divided. Some
are IL favor of letting the negroes go now
as the alleged head was not convicted,
but generally the disagreement seems to
be acquiesced in.

knocked down for 81. 260. That is said
TO be a very good price. But aux eggs

in the scarcity of the egg. The bird

In many sections of the country no

the soil is too light TO grow heavy

will bring good results is the follow
ing: Select a soil that is in fairly

corn. Follow the corn with rye which
should be plowed under in the spring.
Sow COW peas after dressing soil again
with acid phosphate and muriate of
potash and harvest for forage. In the
fall go over the ground with a disk
harrow and break up thoroughly sow
rye and turn under the following
spring; then prepare thoroughly for the
potatoes. and the crop, under proper
conditions of culture. will be all that
is desired. Other methods quite as
good win bring the same results with
out doubt, but this one has been repeat
edly tested and found to be all that
is claimed for it.
