BANANAS
Not Likely to be Sold by
the Pound.

The fruit exchanges of California
and the south have recently asked the
wholesalers of the country to pay for
bananas by the pound instead of by
the bunch as is the usual custom. In
Alliance the method has just been pro-
posed and without doubt the retailers
will follow in the footsteps of the ex-
changes and sell the tropical fruit by
the pound. An Alliance merchant says
that the variation in the sizes and
quality of the bunches make the new
way of offering for sale, the most prac-
tical.
Mr.. Schaeffer of the Schaeffer &
Black company Of this city says that
for the past year or more he has been
purchasing bananas in the above de-
scribed way. His firm deals only in
New Orleans and Mobile exchanges and
the fruit as it is sold renders it i'm
possible for the retailer to sell by the
pound. The varying prices Of bananas
according to Mr. Schaeffers statement
makes the banana industry in Cantor
very risky speculation. AS to the
probability of a change being made ir
Canton, the local dealers say it is very
remote if not impossible.

boundaries as the law requires.
The mayor of the city and the board
of Deputy Supervisors of Elections are
made parties defendant in the action.
w. L. Hart, who is attorney for the
nti-Saloon league and the temperance
people of Alliance who are in the fight,
was in Canton yesterday and was mott
fed of the intended action and was
given a copy of the petition so that
they could be ready for the fight Sat
urday.
The territory included in the district
comprises about half of the city of AL
lance, being the southern section and
includes Mt. Union. There are IL sa-
looms in the territory.
Wednesday evening twelve italians
who live In the district were brought
over to Canton and naturalized. 1t is
claimed they were being taken care ci
by the "wet" element of that city. The
| temperance people claim that an effort
has been made to use money in the
fight, and to influence the forming o:
the district so as to leave out certain
saloons.

SWISS OFFICERS
SummariIy Fired by ku-

st. Petersburg, July 15.-Word has
been received from General Kuropat-
kin that he has expelled the Swiss mil

recall In the ordinary diplomatic
course. Some days ago the governor
notified the foreign Office that the
Swiss officers were violating the conf

government and sending false reports
About the noble army to their gov
ernment and to the Swiss newspapers.
A demand for the officers recall was
made and 1t had been expected that
they would remain with the Russian
army until their successors relieved
them. 1t now appears that their Of
fense must have been serious one In
view of the action Of General Kuro-

the name of the company on the cars.
Without waiting for the bill of lading
the railroad agent turned the cars over

Natural to COMPLAIN,

The disposition to complain is pos

Harrison News. This was we'll illus
trated few days since by farmer
who was complaining about the short
ness of his wheat crop. "But you will
have a good hay crop" put in his hear

has been so much rain that the hay
will not have much strength" An
other man said his hay prospect was

that mankind is never satisfied with

came a change in the testimony OF
the defendant, who is now trying to
prove an alibi, and may succeed. At.

FISH TALK
And Understand Each
Other.

For centuries past naturalists have
looked upon fishes as among the least
intellectual of all creatures, and have
ever expressed doubt of their ability
to communicate with each other. Re-
cent Investigations, however, have dis
sipated this idea, and 1t is found that
there are members of the finny tribe
that possess degree of intelligence
to which other more highly esteemed
members of the animal creation can
not lay claim.
The idea that fishes are completely
dumb is no longer tenable. AS a mat
ter of fact there are great many
that utter lound sounds.
A huge fish with big, grinding teeth
dwells in salt water and is found all
along the United States coast from
Massachusetts to Florida. 1t is called
the drum, because of the deep, boom
ing noises that it makes.
The drum feeds by preference on
oysters and mussels, and when a
school of the big fellows is gathered
in a shallow bay on the oyster beds
it often is possible on q still night to
hear their deep booming plainly.
Another salt water fish, the beauti.
full trodt-like squeteague, utters a
croak extremely musical, much like
that of big bullfrog.
| Another croaker is a fish allied to
the squeteague, known as the croak
| er.
! The sea robbin, so called because il
has magnificent crimson fins as big
as birds wing just behind his head
is another fish with voice. He ut
ters deep, loud "quawk" when he Is
caught and repeats it every time he is
touched
The little puffer, or swell fish, which
has the ability to puff itself into a per
fectly round ball, makes a hoarse
chuckling sound as he does it. At the
same time he grinds his sharp teetl
so that It can be heard four or five
feet away.
The rabbit fish, the trunk fish ant
the COW fish, all armed with prominent
teeth, grind and gnash them like {
swell fish,
The ugly skate curls itself up aftel
being caught and grunts, groans ant
gasps like human being
The porpose, which is not true
fish, but looks exactly like one, il
known as puffer and putting pig, be
cause of his ability to puff so loudl.
that school can be heard for mile
when the day is calm.
Carp and gold fish often make a GU
rious noise, but it is not utterin,
sounds in the meaning of the tern
as used here, because they do it mere
, ly by approaching the surface of tn
water and blowing out air In bubble
till ripping noise IS produced.

PEACH CROP
Nav Be Failure in Three
States.

Washington, d. c., July 14.-The ag,
ricultural department now regards the
failure Of the Delaware, Maryland and
West Virginia peach crops as immi-
nent unless there is an immediate ces'
sation of the daily rains which have
occurred for several weeks. The de-
partment's experts say the continued
rains have developed "monilia" OF
brown rot. In West Virginia, how
ever, there is more hope for good
crop, the season being later and the
weather not troubling them so much
as in the warmer latitudes along the
Atlantic coast.

ESOPUS,
The Home Of Judge A. B.
Parker.

Pittsburg Times--At first blush the
name would seem to be that of the
great Greek fabulist, for Aesop, or
Esop, in Greek is Aisopos and in Latin
Aesopus. The now common elision OF
the first vowel in the dipthong males
the Latin form Esopus, which Is the
name of the Ulster county village on
the outskirts of which is "Rosemont,"
Judge Parker's home. The 'o' in ESQ
pus, incidentally, is pronounced as is
the 20" in go"
It is entirely probable that this is
the derivation Of the villages name,
although it was taken directly from
the Latin. When the Dutch came to
New York after Henrik Hudson had
made his famous voyage they found
the present site of the metropolis in
the possession of the Manhattan tribe
of the Algonquin Indians. The Algon-
quins were the most powerful division
of the American aborigines at the time
of the discovery and settlement of this
continent by the white man. They COM
posed tribes speaking some 40 dialects
and occupied the country from Hudson
bay to Pamlico sound and the Cumber-
land river, with the Shawnees outlying
on the south and the Cheyenne and Ar
apahoes cleaving the Sioux on the west.
The Manhattans were not the only
Algonquin tribe in the neighborhood Of
New York. Bands from other allied
tribes either lived or made their AZ
pearance at frequent intervals in the
neighborhood. For some reason that is
now not apparent, the Dutch called
these Indians in the Hudson river val
ley the Esopue Indians, and in this fact
is to be found the immediate origin
of the villages name The village, it
may be said, is on the West Shore rail-
road, about rs miles from New York
City and about AZ from Albany. Its
nearest neighborhood of any size is
Kingston, the largest town between
the metropolis and the capital of the
Empire State.

DESIGNS
OF THE UNITED STATES UP.
ON THE
REPUBLIC OF PANAMA
Suspected by Govern
ment Leader.

Panama, July 14-There was an ex-
citing scene in the Panama congress
this afternoon growing out of the in,
PRODUCTION of resolution by Senor
Victoriano, the government leader, de-
claring the action of General Davis
in establishing United States customs
houses on Isthmian soil constituted
a menace to the republic of Pan
anna" He declared in a fiery speech
that the action of General Davis was
without precedent and could only
mean that the United States was
planning to absorb the Isthmus.
Senior Arosemena the opposition
leader made a speech along similar
lines and from the manner In which
both speeches were received there is
no doubt that the congress is unani
mously opposed to the action of the
American commander.
1t is openly asserted here that there
are strong Chilian and Colombian lob
bies at work to undermine the infiu
ence of the United States and secure
to German capitalists a monopoly OF
the trade Of the Isthmus. Naturally
with the leading members of the Pan
anna government publicly denouncint
the action Of the United States in con
nection with the governing of the ca

HELD CAPTIVE
BY MASKED MEN FOR FOUR
DAYS
THRILLING TALE TOLD
BY Young Man Of His
IN Captivity

Memphis, Tenn, July 14.-A special
from Minter City, Miss, says that Sam
Nicely, young man 10 years old has
just reached his home there, after
having been held In captivity by two
masked men since last Sunday night.
Nicely is q chum and companion Of
Essex Townes, son of q very wealthy
planter. His story is that he was set
upon by two men just as he had reach
ed the front of the Townes residence
about o'clock last Sunday night.
The men were armed and made him
throw up his hands. They then took
him to the river, made him strip off
all his clothes, then bound and gagged
him, placed him In wagon and drove
several miles away to swamp. Next
morning he was taken a distance of
Is or 30 miles away into Walser
county as the party halted in dense
forest. There he was given other
clothing and was told that he could
write to Judge Townes for ransom of
liberty. He assured the men that they
had captured the wrong man but they
refused to believe him and insisted
upon his writing the letter.
1t was three days before he persuad,
ed his captors Of their mistake ane
he was then released and made his way
back.
His family had supposed him to be
drowned and the stream upon the bani
Of which his clothes had been found
had been dynamited In the effort tt
find his body. Detectives are endeav'
oring to find the kidnappers.
