Fantan is driving pit and finch out
of favor and the old game has been
revived with all the fervor with which
Minneapolis people play games. There
are numerous advantages to the new
choice, for no one can find fault with
1T on account of the noise it provokes,
ana 1t certainly requires more skill
than pit, which was the most inane
game ever given to grown-up people.
There have been several fantan par
ties the last two weeks, but they have
been the most informal affairs, as be-
fits Lenten gaieties.
Fantan makes such an appropriate
game for Japanese party,n'i explained

COTTON is KING AGAIN.

Comes to It's Own Once More as the
Monarch of Our Crops.
Despite the ravages of the boil weevil,
and despite, also, the ups and downs of
the spectators in the cotton market,
cotton, that most useful product of the
sunny South, is at the front again as the
monarch of American crops. Exports of
cotton and its products from the United
States exceed by millions the value of
any other single crop sent out, and dur
ing the fiscal year ending June brought
into this country more than S400, 900, 900.
The exports have very nearly doubled
il a decade, and in the last year they
have increased by more than $40, 600, 600.
Products of cotton other than the raw
fiber which go to make up this great total
are cottonseed oil, cottonseed meal, cot
ton waste, cotton seed in the natural
state, and cotton manufactures. Cotton
seed meal and cottonseed oil as factors
in export trade are of recent develop
ment. Exports of both of these amount
now to more than $25,000,000 annually,
while only a very short time ago the seed
from which these are manufactured was
considered almost worthless. The value
Of .cottonseed oil exported from this
country last year was more than $14, OO0,-
600. OF oil cake and oil-cake meal ex-
ported from the United States last year,
amounting to nearly S20,000,000, $4,5O0,-
600 worth went to Germany, $4,000, 900
to Belgium, S3,5OO,OO0 to the Neither
lands, and a little less than $3,500,000
to the United Kingdom. All this means
prosperity for the South, better homes,
better schools, and more happiness and
contentment all around for her people.

Illinois.

Theodore Roosevelt has carried the
State of Illinois by an estimated plural
ity of 100000. He received 10000 L
Cook county and 10000 in the State.
McKinley's plurality in 1900 was 94,924.
Charles S. Deneen is elected Governor
by plurality of 225,OOO. He ran lit
tie behind Roosevelt in Chicago and just
about even in the State. Yates plural
ity in 1900 was 81 ,233. The entire Re-
publican State ticket is elected, but by
smaller figures than those for President
and Governor.

BILLIONS FOR FARMERS
value Of Their Various Crops This Year
Will Reach 5000, OO, 10000.

Will Reach S3,2OO,OO,OOOO.
Much has been said and printed about
the failure of the wheat crop this year.
The yield was under that first expected,
and under the yields of recent years.
But the extraordinarily high prices for
wheat prevailing this fall have made the
crop probably the most valuable in the
history of the country to the farmers. 1t
IL estimated that the wheat yield this
year was worth to the farmers about
1851 100000, as compared with a value
of SAB, 100000 last year, $40. 100000
in 1902, and $467 100000 in 1901.
The cotton crop of the present year
is close to the best in size and quality
ever produced in this country. The spec
ulation in cotton last year, however, made
an extremely high range of prices for the
staple and probably put the total value
OF last seasons crop to the planters at
higher figure than will be realized for
the crop this season. The estimated fig
ures are S6O0,0O0,OO0 for this years
crop, as compared with S617 100000 for
last years crop, $3.50, 100000 in 1902,
and 100000 in 1901.
The hay crop is one of the most val
liable that the farmers of the country
raise, although little is heard Of it and
its vicissitudes during the growing sea-
son. This year the hay crop Is very
large, but the price is not up to the av-
erage of former years. The total value
of the crop is estimated at $3.50, 900,
as compared with $3.50, 100000 in 1903,
$,,42, 100000 in 1902, and $506, 1OO, 900 in
1901.
The potato crop this year is one of the
best, If not the best, in the history Of
the country, and although the price per
bushel is considerably less than that pre-
vailing last year, the remuneration to the
farmers will be larger. There is indi-
Gated total value of the potato crop
of S1e8,000,000, as compared with S151,-
100000 last year, S134, 100000 in 1902,
and S143,900,OO0 in 1901.
The oat, rye, barley and buckwheat
crops are excellent this year, and prices
are good. The yields to the farmers this
fall are figured at total of 1856, 600, 900
for the four crops, as compared with
$500 100000 last year, S390900,000 in
1902 and S36S, 100000 in 1901
Combined, the crops of the country
this year represent a value to the farm
ers, at the prevailing prices, larger than
ever before in the history of the country.
The grand total of the yield of the har-
vests this fall Is estimated at S3,200,-
100000 Last year records were broken
by yield of $3,073, 100000. In 1902 the
harvest was worth S29S7 100000 In
lei the yield to the farmers was ST.
S45,O0O0OO.

l thlpann weekly review of Chi
cago trade says: Feat
ures of the business situation which
stand out distinctly are the strength
ened demand for factory products, ris-
ing cost of raw materials and heavier
retail dealings in necessities. Moder-
ate decline is seen in quotations for
leading grains, but directly affecting
important industrial lines are dearer
pig iron. steel. lumber and hides. En-
tirely seasonable weather has not yet
come, yet there was little hindrance
in final distribution, while there are
indications that consumption again
has reached high volume
The labor market is steady, ard
more hands are now employed than
at any time heretofore this year. In
dustrial activity reflects easier conf
dence, and a widening effort to re-
spond promptly to accommodating de-
mands upon capacity. This is nota-
bly, evident in metal, woodworking
and leather branches.
Jobbing trade is well sustained in
staple goods, current selections being
well distributed on both local and out
side requirements. Western ship
ments of general merchandise con-
tinue larger. and more buyers take ad-
vantage of discounts. Reports from
the interior are satisfactory as to the
outlook in trade and agriculture and
mercantile collections occasion but
slight complaint, defaults again max
ing good comparative showing.
While receipts of bituminous coal
fall short Of those for the correspond
ing period last year, available stocks
are seen to be ample for normal needs,
and strike interruptions at the mines
had slight effect. Railroads increased
specifications for considerable rolling
stock and rails and new contracts add
ed to the previously engaged condition
of shipbuilding yards.
Notwithstanding diminished sup
plies Of grain, dealings on the Board
Of Trade maintained fair activity.
Grain shipments, 3.133, 064 bushels,
fell 40 per cent under those year
ago. The market was under the in
huence of realizing sales, but prices
compared with closing last week show
only slight declines. Flour buyers
operated conservatively. domestic
stocks having gained, and the general
demand being lighter Hog products
rallied on the monthly statement, dis
closing reduced stocks here, but the
gain was not equally sustained. Live
stock receipts, 34O,95G head. overran
those of last week.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number twenty-four, against
twenty last week and thirty-five a
year ago.

says: Warm weather, activity in fall

from retail trade distribution North

increased activity in a number Of in

Six States which went for Roosevelt
elected Democratic Governors. They
are Massachusetts, West Virginia,
Minnesota, Colorado, Missouri and Ne
braska. Roosevelt carried Nebraska
by $1,000, but Berge, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, was elected by
about 5000. The Legislature will be
Republican, so that William Jennings
Bryan may not go to the United States
Senate this year. The State Of Wash
ington fell into line with 10000 for
Roosevelt, and Senator Turner, Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, who
was expected to win, was beaten by
plurality OF 1000. In Minnesota Roose-
velt received 120,OOO plurality, while
johnson, Democratic nominee, was

Young Weber Held for Murder.


Adolph Weber of Auburn, CAL, has been
placed under arrest, charged with the MUIR
der of his parents, sister and young brother
and with having set the family residence
on fire afterward to conceal the crime.
Weber took his arrest coolly. The arrest
took place Immediately after he left the
witness stand and after he had reluctantly
answered the questions propounded to him
by Coroner Shepard, the district attorney
and several of the ju-ymen. The latest
theory in the Weber murder case is that the
murderer shot the father first; then, as the
sister appeared in the hall, he shot her, and
then the mother, seeing what he had done,
screamed and started from him, when he
shot her. She continued on across the
room, and, raising her left hand, took down
the telephone receiver to call for help, at
which time she received the second shot,
which penetrated the body just under the
left arm. The child being the only one left,
the murderer struck him over the head and
felled him. The operator at the central
telephone Office says that the line that the
Weber residence is on showed ''busy" at
about a half hour before the fire was dis
covered

President Roosevelt Says He Will Not

President Roosevelt will not again be
a candidate. He announced this definite
ly Tuesday night after he knew the peo-
pie of the country had overwhelmingly
elected him to the highest Office within
their gift Expressing himself as deeply
sensible of the honor done him. he die
tated to Secretary Loeb the following
statement:
1 am deeply sensible of the honor done
me by the American people in thus express
ing their confidence In what | have done
and have tried to do / appreciate to the
full the solemn responsibility this conf
dence imposes upon me, and | shall do all
that in my power lies not to forfeit 1t.
On the fourth of March next shall have
served three and a half years. and this
three and a half years constitutes my first
term.
The wise custom which limits the Presi-
dent to two terms regards the substance
and not the form. and under no circum-
stances will be a candidate for or accept
another nomination.
