An agent for an out OF town
grocery firm jumped on the indie
pendent man fguratively speak
ing the other day on account Of
the item we recently published
regarding the farmer who bot
from a firm away off. The man
said the piece would hurt his
business. 1t will not hurt his
business if his goods are all right,
and his prices are right. But it
will have a tendency to put the
farmers on their guard aud look
before they leap. The Indeped,
ent does not pretend to tell its
readers where they must trade,
but hopes to keep them informed
on all underhanded methods en-
ployed by any agents. We shall
always have a good word to say
for our merchants who enable 8
city to thrive. Minot without
her merchants would be like q
ship without steam or sails.

More About Arthur Mccullough.

We have learned further par
ticulars regarding Arthur Nc
CulIough. the Norwich man who
went down in a we'll to blast a
stone. The we'll was only sixteen
inches in diameter and the young.
man was let down into it with
his foot fastened in a loop on a
rope. He was pulled out once
and complained that he wished
someone else would 60 into the
we'll, as he did not feel very we'll.
He perhaps then was feeling the
effects OF the gas. The second
time he went into the well, he fell
forward and grew limp. His un.
Gle, Mr.. Stewart, the Norwich
merchant, tried in vain to pull
him from the well, but the harder
he pulled the tighter the mans
body stuck in the small hole and
he died there. The young man
was a member of the Odd Eel.

More About the Mustard.

Surrey farmers are cutting the
mustard in their oats and wheat
with a mower, raised high 1t
seems to do the work fairly well.
Some farmers are taking: the
surer way but more arduous,
pulling it, while Others simply
2rumble over their luck and do
nothing saying: it is no use to
kill the mustard on their farms
when their neighbors allow theirs
to go to seed. About the best
remedy we can offer at this time
is to allow the land to lie until a
little late in the spring when the
mustard has come up, then turn
it under, not with a disc, and
SOW it to late grain or better
plant potatoes or something
which can be cultivated. At our
farm near Glenburn, thepotatoes
which were planted on old ground,
have not a sign Of mustard which
WIS treated as stated above
while the land surroundin1 the
patch which was simply disced.
is covered with mustard.

Liverpool Was Stronger and
Higher at the Opening Of
the Day.
This Boosted Prices a Little and
Gave the Traders a
Ea@ Chance.
They Realized Later in the Day
and a Good Share of the Ad-
vance Was Lost. .

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. Sept. T.
Liverpool markets were stronger and higher this
morning, coming somewhat as surprise to tho
trading element, as that market has not or late
followed our advances. The opening was strong
at an advance Of sc for the December option
over the close of yesterday. little realizing
on the advance carried prices back fractionally.
but there was good support and va lues quickly
Sn1lied about 1ac before the demand was
allied.
On this advance scalpers who had bought early
began to realize, the market receding until halR
of the gain was lost up to the noon hour. Out.
side trade shows no improvement. AS one com"
mission man expressed it, ut was wretchedly
small" the scalping professionals doing pract1-
cally all the business. AS these traders nave
been whipped into line often during the past
two months, it Is not hard to make them run to
cover at either signs OF weakness or strength.

LIVED A WOMAN, DIED AMAN
Peg Leg Ann, Who Fooled EN- All
for Forty Years.
=

"Peg Leg Ann lived as woman
and died as man. The mystery sur
most eccentric character
was disclosed by his death at Water
vliet, Mich. For forty-two years Peg
Leg wore dresses, covered his head
with a sunbonnet and let his black
hair fall in two braids,. tied with man
lila rope, down his back. Winter and
SUNNI er his attire was the same Peg
smith shop and sawmill, and was the
freak of the whole section.
Tho muscular and brawny, this
strange being possessed some beauty
in his younger days and it is related
that many were the proposals of mar
rage received by him from young men
nearby. Once he accepted a. we'll
known young farmer, and the marriage
had been arranged, when Peg Leg
broke his promise and in remorse the
young man left the country never to
return.
Peg Leg Ann came to Berrien
county with band of Pottowatomie
Indians forty-two years ago. He ruled
the band until, one bq one, they died
or were scattered. The wood south
of Watervliet has always been his
home and until recent years he lived
in solitude. During his lifetime he
accumulated considerable wealth, and
at his death bequeathed a fine 100
acre farm, valued at $4,000, to a young
man who has cared for him in his de
Tng tBs sars :sus od q age e saS fsESs
community never suspected that Peg
Leg was not woman, and when the
secret was unfolded by death, the Sec
ton was astonished. The remains will
be inferred in Hartford tomorrow.
