KINDRICk, VA, May 14.-In Newbern,
a village In Pulaski county, In poverty
and affliction, lives Mrs. Rebecca Mayo,
the last surviving widow OF a soldier OF
the revolution.
She is now over 70 years of age. though
when she married Stephen Mayo, SOL
der of the Virginia line. she was very
young. Her husband served s years In
the patriot army and participated In the
battles of Brandywine and Germantown.
He has been dead since 1S47.
Through the advice OF Mrs. Mayo's
friends, Hon. C. Slemp introduced bill
to increase her pension, as the amount
she received was insufficient to support
her. The bill was promptly acted upon
by both houses and at last by the sig
nature of the president, her pension was
increased SIS per month.

THE WHEAT CROP.

The surprisingly bad feature of the govern
n1ent winter wheat report just issued, says the
Minneapolis Journal is the heavy decline in
acreage which brings the total area now stand
ing down to 81 O83,5OO acres. Since last fall no
less than 1882, 700 acres of the original total
have been abandoned, farmers having plowed it
up very largely, while yet there time to
SOW other crops the wheat not promising we'll
enough to warrant letting it stand. This is
greater abandonment than the grain trade has
expected the report to show, and it makes a
very bulish statement.
AS partial offset to this the condition is
found to have been maintained thru April,
which was another surprise. The trade had
figured upon drop to 70 or "A, but the figure
stands unchanged from that of April 1 at 765.
We are then along into May, having started
the month with winter wheat acreage 1917 per
cent less than harvested last year, and condi-
ton 16.1 points lower. Last year we raised 4O1-
$4,000 bushels of winter wheat. The present
promise is for 35O,O0O,OOO to 36OO0OOOO bushels.
Our total wheat production last year was
637,822 600 bushels of which 236, 1876 600 bushels
were spring wheat. If we are to equal it this
year must raise 277OOO,OOO to .287,OOO, 600
bushels OF spring wheat. This is possible, but
but from present reports seems not at all prob
able That in for total wheat crop con-
sderably under last year in any case is now the
indication.
AS to the effect upon prices, it is hard to
say. 1T is probable that while there will be the
continued changes of the day and the usual
week to week variations of few cents, the de

THE LIBERTY BELL.

The Philadelphia council yesterday decided
to send the old herald of our national liberties,
the Liberty bell, to the Louisiana Purchase Tx
position at St. Louis, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
The venerable relic which, in it's old age,
has been an object of deep public interest at
several expositions north and south during the
last twenty-five years, is now booked for an ex-
tensive trip thru dozen states and territories
west of the Mississippi which were included in
the original Louisiana purchase, that the people
may look upon the historic relic and recall the
day when, in Philadelphia, it emphasized thru
it's stalwart iron throat the signing of the Dec
1aration of independence and made a proclama-
ton of "Liberty turnout the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof"
The "Liberty Bell' must needs pass thru
Minnesota, a large portion of which lay under
the Spanish and French flags successfully,
before. Lausat, the agent of Napoleon, form
ally transferred the vast territory of Louisiana
to the commissioners of the United States Gov
error Claiborne of Mississippi and General
James Wilkinson of the United States army,
Louisiana acquired, Governor Claiborne with
much emphasis declared to the Legislature in
1905 that 'the Mississippi will cease to flow be-
fore Louisiana shall cease to be part of the
American union"
Thru the state of Louisiana and thru the
other states which once comprised the old
Louisiana territory, the historic "Liberty Bell"
will travel with frequent pauses to permit the
inhabitants of the land to behold the proclairner
and prophet of their liberties, and read in such
object lesson the national obligation upon all
citizens to be alert against all real
.epcroachments on their constitutional liberties.
Occasionally notes in the press some
disposition to joke over the sending of the
"Liberty Bell" to expositions and to belitte it's
Importance a historically suggestive relic.
This betokens very objectional spirit, which,
however is not influencing the public mind to
any serious extent The revival of interest in
revolutionary struggle since the centennial
rNpualIiu # 1876 has deepened the genuine in
terest in the study of that peraoa and has shown
more correctly the underlying motives of the
distinguished men who signed the Declaration
of independence and heard the "Liberty Bell"
ring out it's proclamation.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1904-05-14

On account of the interest attendant on
the semi-centennial of the organization of the
Republican party The Tribune would like to
hear from any Republican living in Stevens

ident in 1856 Are there any such in this coun-
ty, and, if so, will you please make it known.

MARKET CONDITIONS.

The metal maket generally shows an improvement in conditions which is gradual; but it is noticeable. each week that the ground gained is firmly held.
 Copper shows a good demand. both for home consumption and for ex- port with somewhat greater firmness in prices Tin has recovered from the temporary depression noted last week. and is frmer. with some i'm provement Tn demand. Lead is un- changed, both in consumption and prices. Spelter is quiet and buying has fallen off to some extent. Ore prices in the Joplin market have again advanced.
 Without showing and marked change. silver is a little stronger. and there is apparently a somewhat better demand from the east
 The iron and steel markets respond rather slowly to recent reductions in prices. but there is preceptibly better tone with many inquiries for material for future delivery Upon the whole the prospect is for a considerable i'm provenment in trade. although it may come rafner slowly.
 The western coal markets show an improved demand for steam coal while the approach of winter puts the domestic market on Q little better ba- sis than it has been.

WESTERN MEXICO.
Not the Copper Field That Cananes Country is-Exagqeration
 Charced

An American mining engineer of wide experience. who has made an extended trip into western Mexico for an eastern syndicate. and who desires that his name be not disclosed. is au- fhority for the statement that the cop per deposits of the western part of Mexico nave been greatly exaggerated by promoters ano in the published re ports. He says the most of the de- posits are small and low grade. How ever. the average man. having in mind the wonderful Bisbee deposits. or the Cananea mines. will be somewhat in clined to think that these copper bonanzas may yet be duplicated in the large area included as western Mexico. all of which is highly mineraliZed. The mining of copper in Mexico is on- ly in its infancy. anc as Arizona has come by leaps anG bounds from low rank to the position of first, or. at least. second among the copper pro ducing states. so will Sonora and some of the other states of the Sierra Mad re district come to the front when transportation facilities are founded.

MUCH ENTHUSIASM FOR
 MARCUS A. SMITH.
Meetings in the Northern Part of the Territory Have Drawn Crowds of
 Enthusiastic voters.

The campaign which the Hon. Mark Smith is now making in the Northern Arizona is said to be one of the most successful in the history of the Terri tory. MT. Smith has been acompan- jed 10 every county by the able Dem ocTatic speakers Of the north. includ- ing Col Wilson. E. E. Ellinwood. Reece Ling. Henry F. Ashurst and E. s. Clark. At every appointment the Democratic candidate has been greet ed by unusual crowds who have been stirred to a pitch of unbounded en- thusiasm.
 It is predicted that in every north ern county the Democratic vote will be largely increased and the Republi- cans will not even hope for majoritieS in more than two northern counties af,er MT. Smith has completed his present campaign in that section.
 The Democrats have the Demo cratic fever this year and with firm conviction that Parker and Davis will sweep the nation they propose to keep Arizona in line with one of the largest Democratic majorities ever boiled in the territory.

CALUMET G ARIZONA.
The Boston News Bureau Answers
 Enquiries.

In answer to an inquiry. the Bcs- Ton News Bureau has this 10 say con cernlng Calumet & Arizona:
 The company was organized in March, 1901. under the laws of Ari- zona with s2,00O,00O of issued capital. par vaule s10. The property com prises eleven claims with an area of l60 acres ir the Warren Mining dis tlct adjoining the Copper Queen. The ore is practically self-fluxing and it IS with great difficulty the manage ment holds the ore smelted under 10 per cent copper. The upper levels show exceedingly rich ores, there be- ing whole stopes assaying 10, % and even 55 per cent copper. The lower workings show rich sulphides. The shelter is twenty-five miles from the mine, near Douglas.
 The production today is al the rate of about 30,000,000 pounds per an nun, and quarterly dividencs of sf.5O are being paid. The earnings. how ever, are very much in exces of the dividend disbursements. The rapidity with which the property was brought to the producing point place it in the same class with the Greene Con. solidated. Within the short space ot three years the mine was brought m 10 a capacity of 25OO0. 900 pounds per annum.
