FARMERS TO ORGANIZE.

Suggestions have been made
recently in the editorial col
umns of the MESSENGER and by
several correspondents of this
paper that Worcester County
farmers organize produce eX-
change similar to that now be-
ing so successfully conducted
by the truckers OF the Eastern
Shore of Virginia. That these
suggestions have born fruit is
evidenced by a communication
from Onancock, Va. i'm the Bal
timore Syn, which says that
farmers of Worcester and
Somerset counties have asked
the officers of the Virginia ex-
change to organize a branch in
these counties, so that our pro-
ducts will not be placed in com
petition with theirs and that
we may also receive the benfits
of the increased profits of our
labor by cutting out the middle
man known as the commission
merchant. We suggest to the
fruit and produce growers of
the two counties that they push
the movement to success before
the opening of another fruit
and potato season. 1t is good
idea and therefore should not
be allowed to die abornin'.
Our Virginia friends have
had enough experience with
the commission men to know
what is best for them, and they
are so well pleased with the
steps they have taken that they
have increased the salaries of
their officials and have given
notice that their exchange has
come. to stay. Now that many
farmers i'm Worcester county
have gone largely into the bust
ness of planting sweet potatoes
for market they cannot do bet
ter than follow in the footsteps
of their neighbours in Virginia
who have been so successful.

An investigation Will Be Made Into

From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Jordan, Mimi, Nov. III. S. Schreiner,
former cashier, and A. G. Schaeffer, pres
emit cashier of the Scott County bank,
which closed its doors last Saturday,
have been arrested, pending an investi-
CATION into the affairs of the concern.
A. NJ Kerst of St. Paul is on the bond
of SchaeffeT for the amount of $1,000.
The total assets of the bank amount
to $l43,SSl, of which the most is useless
paper. The liabilities are $l54,O54.37,
leaving shortage of $9,s06.73.
The bank has been in very bad state
for the past few months and the crisis
was reached when the bank closed it's
doors to the public Saturday. There was
some hope of adjustment, but later reve-
lations of the condition of the bank have
dispelled all hopes of the depositors, and
it is thought that they will not realize
10 per cent on their deposits.
Mrs. M. A. Schultz of Helena town
ship had in the bank deposit of $4,000
all the money she possessed. Upon
learning that the bank was defunct she
became insane and ended her life by tax
ing poison.
The bank was organized some years
ago by Congressman Strait, and few
months ago it was turned over to his
son, Burton E. Strait, formerly of st.
Paul. The bank was private one, and
it is alleged that the funds were lost
in speculation.

HALF RATES FOR CLERGY.
Permits Will Be Issued in Certificate
From Hereafter

The rules under which about 10000
clergymen and others engaged exclusive
ly in religious work may get half rates
on the western railroads next year were
decided upon at a meeting of members
of the Western, Southwestern and Trans
continental Passenger associations held in
Chicago Tuesday.
$50 many preachers loaned, rented OF
sold their cards authorizing agents to
sell them tickets at half rates that we
have decided to use next year the clergy
certificate invented by Gerrit Fort of the
Union Pacific railroad, and which has
been used successfully by the Central
Passenger association for several years,
said one of the passenger agents who at
tended the meeting.
''The few black sheep in the large
flock has abused the half-rate privilege
A list of the black sheep includes every
religious denomination. The most COM
mon offense of preachers is to lend their
half rate certificate to members of their
congregation. A smaller number have
added to their incomes by loaning their
certificates to friends for a financial
consideration. We have found few
cases where preachers sold their half
fare permits to scalpers.
"In justice to the clergy it should be
stated that less than l per cent OF
them lend or sell their half fare permits
Several times we have learned through
ministers that their erring brothers were
not guarding their permits properly.
The new permit consists of book OF
100 acquisitions for tickets at half rates
When the tickets are issued the agents
of all lines must send the acquisitions
to the joint clergy bureau. They viii
be carefully checked up, and as they
will show each trip made and the exact
date, the railroads can tell whenever any
preacher is abusing the courtesy shown
him.

the same as other real estate taxes. If
the property owner desires, he can pay
all of the installments at once, while the
interest to the ensuing October. Certi-
ficates of Indebtedness are to be issued
not to exceed the unpaid assessments.
The section relating to sidewalk con
struction provides that whoever builds
a new walk must give bond for $1,000
to protect the city in case anybody is
hurt while the walk is being built. A
permit to build new walk must also be
secured.
Members of the board thought the
bond excessive.
The provision relating to general con-
demnation requires the council to give
fifteen days notice of hearing. The coun-
ell is to appraise the benefits and dam
ages, and the city is to pay not to eX-
coed six per cent interest on damages
awarded.
The committee presented a report on
the powers of the council, which are left
almost identical with the provisions of
the present charter. This report was not
read.
There not being a quorum present, a
vote could not be taken ON the report,
and an adjournment was taken until Sat
urday night. The portion of the char
ter covered by the report Saturday night
is the most important, and it is thought
that three or four more meetings should
be sufficient to complete the work.

CANNOT PAY BILLS.
City Treasurer Will Stand Off Credi-
tors of The CITY.

From Saturdays Daily.
There is no money in the treasury to
pay the bills that were allowed by the
council last night. except the pay roll,
which the treasurer will borrow from
the interest fund, to be returned to it
next week, when money is received from
the county auditor.
The treasurer intends to keep the sink
ing fund intact, as required by the char
ter, and the other funds are all exhaust
ed, or practically so. 1t is condition
and not theory that confronts the
city, and the prediction made by The
Free Press some time ago has come true
little sooner than was at that time
expected.
Nearly $4,000 of bills were allowed by
the council last night, nearly half of
which will be paid for with certificates
of indebtedness, to run until the special
assessments come in. Of the rest, about
$1,000 is pay roll, and the city has no
money to pay the balance. When the
November settlement is made next week
there will be enough to pay these bills
but there will be little left to carry on
the city government until next March
1t looks as though the salaries of city
officers and all other accounts would have
to be held up.
The condition of affairs is more de-
plorable than most people have realized

Plot ro XIII King of servia.

VIENNA, April 1.-The rumors cur rent of plot against the life of King Alexander of Servia receive apparent confirmation in private dispatches which have been received at Budapest and according to which an attack on the kings life was planned for tomor- row. The plot was. discovered, and fifty persons suspected of complicity therein were arrested. Other arrests are expected. Semioficial reports from Belgrade declare that these rumors are false, but it is thought here that King Alexander's recent coup d'etat was probably hastened by the discovery of the alleged plot.
