fIurrahfOr the COP.

Now G. o. F. politically means 'sgrand old party but when political party is ill power and knows darn well the city is, or at least has been, or dered to be bonded for almost $50O,OOO, and the c. o. F. requests the city offl- cials to add $200,000 more-and still knows the sewage which is sure to come, will call for $600,OO0, we ask ln the name of common sense what does all this mean. We see where this means one million tree hundred thou sand dollars (S1,300,000) which the taxpayers must pay. In other Woros the G. o. F. must mean
 GALLINIPPES,
 ORNITHOIDICHMIT
 PLA1IOCEPHALY
 But q. o. P has another meaning which is all right. G. for good; o. for ! Ool6ng; F. for palatable. Now. If you wxnt some good palatable Oolong Tea Ut 50c per pound, we have 1t and we will give each purchaser of one pound sspecials premium this week. Ke- member the quality we sell is not the poor trashy kind you get when you re 'ceive 100 or more trading stamps with it. What you buy at our store is nice, new season quality and warranted to give satisfaction or money back-thats s straight over and above board business which you can rely on. isn't it2 Our price for the good kind is the same as you pay for poor quality elsewhere. Ii you want a well made coal bod, call at our store just buy a pound of our warranted good Baking Powder. 45c per pound, and secure a galvanized. full sized coal bod free If you want cup of good Coffee, buy the quality we sell and see how much nicer 1t IS than what the other fellow is selling for the same price.

LIFE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Tigers and Balloons Keep Things From Be.
coming Monotonous.

There have been some exciting times ut
Mr. Heugh's beautiful farm, Kamaehs,
lately, says the Uitenhage Times. Some
time ago Mr.. Robert Heugh was proceed
ing up a rise on horseback when he no.
ticed a swarm of bees at the summit.
Leaving his horse and rifle, he climbed up
to the spot where they We're. and then no
ticed little fOotpath leading down the
krantz. But what attracted his attention
was the plain Indication of something hav-
ing been dragged along it. A buck had
been missed the previous evening. Mr..
Heugh proceeded cautiously along the path
and then came to a ledge, down which he
jumped, only to find himself within six
feet of a large tiger. which was standing
over the buck laShing his tail furiously
from side to side and glaring at the in
truder. He showed his teeth, gave vent to
an angry roar, and prepared to spring.
Mr. Heugh then left. He must have gone
up the krantz like an aeronaut but he was
quickly on the scene again, this time with
several natives and his rifle. But the
tiger had departed in peace, leaving the
mangled body of his prey a short distance
from the scene of the encounter. The car
cass was well poisoned and deposited in
a neatly built kraal which contained but
one entrance. where a powerful trap was
concealed. Next morning visit to the
spot showed that the marauder had ig-
nored the entrance, but had climbed over
the bushes forming the kraal, gnawed the
two hind legs off the buck, and left once
more. Further search proved abortive, and
nothing more was heard or thought Of the
affair until recently, when Mr.. Robert
Heugh was experimenting some natives
who were extinguishing a bush fire. In
the course of their work they came across
the decomposed body of the tiger. and his
skull now forms yet another addition TO
the collection of curiosities of kamaehs.
Mr.. Robbie" Heugh also had a narrow
escape from a babO0n Il few days ago.
He spotted the animal in the orchard and
shot him through the body at about 300
yards. The baboon was able to get away,
however, and was afterwards seen on the
top of Il krantz, where he suddenly drop
ped. Thinking that he was dead, Mr..
Heugh went after him with two terriers
and IA native. The dogs ran up to the
supposed carcass, and were barking at it,
when the dead suddenly arose, caught
up the unfortunate animals, bit piece of
flesh out of each of them, east them from
him, and made for Mr. Heugh, tearing his
arm from shoulder to wrist. He. however,
managed to fracture the brute's skull with
a stone. and when his body came to be
measured it was found to be five feet.

A FINANCIAL TRICK.
standard oils" Device for Making" DOL
lars.

The following is a condensed account of
Thomas w. Iawson's illustration. in
Everybody's September mstalment of
"FrenZied Finance" of the financial trick
by which STANDARD Oil' has become the
greatest power in the land:
"B." a Western farmer. tlls his soil
and receives. by the sale of his wheat, a
particular $4,000 which he then deposits
in The Bank. &C. purchases with $500
Obs money! which he borrows from The
Bank, copper-mine, depositing the title
which he receives from the seller with The
Bank as collateral for the $1,000. After
purchasing. he arbitrarily calls the copper
mine worth $4,000. Then. arbitrarily,
&c" organizes his $1,000 of copper prop
erty into the Arbitrary Copper Company,
and issues to himself paper, which he
arbitrarily stamps 10000 stock dollars"
This he takes To The Bank. and by loan or
other device exchanges it for the remain
ing S6.700 belonging TO ''B." The next
step is where 'C'' sells his S3.300. stamped
10000 stock dollars (which. as already
shown. he has exchanged with The Bank
for the $4,000 deposited by "B''D. 10 ''B"
for $4,000. which $4,000 3D. withdraws
from The Bank by simply making out
check i'm favor of &C" "C' deposits BIS"
check with The Bank and hereby liq-
uidates his $4,000 Indebtedness to The
Bank. B. the farmer. who has con-
tracted fer new machinery and other ne
cessitieS and luXurieS, TO be paid for next
season." attempts next season 70 turn his
10000 stock dollars into real dollars. and
&C., the Private Thing, knowing their real
value TO be but $1,000, refuses to make the
exchange, but instead. by proclaimng their
real value, compels "B," who must have
real dollars To meet his debts. to sell them
for what &C." the Private Thing, is will
ing to pay. &C." the Private Thing, is will
ing TO pay their worth, which he alone
knows is $500: he repurchases them at
that price from B. that he may repeat
the operation at the return of the next
wave of the country's prosperity"

Thirty-seven Patents to One Inventor

American inventiveness has been recog-
nized by the Patent Office by the issuance
of 81 patents in that field to John $. Stone,
of Cambridge, Mass. The patents taken
out by Mr.. Stone cover the entire field of
space telegraphy. and those who have made
study of his methods say that he will
outstrip Marconi in his latest scientific
field. His claims. as printed in the Official
Gazette, cover "a pages of closely printed
matter.

This gives only a faint idea of the in
cessant manuvering and fighting on those
historic plains.
In connection with the greater move
ments there were almost daily and night
ly encounters of scouting parties, pickets,
guerrillas, bushwackers, etc.
These continued during the next year,
when Gen. Grant was pushing the Army
of Northern Virginia back into the de-
fenses of Richmond.

Total cavalry 4,9'

Then, again, Gordon's Division is not
in the report Of Sept. 80, but had on Sept.
10. 2,69O':; ada the four divisions, 1855,
and the cavalry, 1900, we get total Of
Is, 45J onESept. 80.
Subtracting from the total of Sept. 10,
21 1925, the total of Sept 80, 1S,455, we find
the difference p.57O, which is good deal
less than !thei Confederate losses at Ope-
quan and iFisher's Hill.
Now with>9the aggregate Sept. 80, it
looks very reasonable to put the Confeder-
ate forces, att the battle of Opequan at
u ,O25. and it.was probably more.
When considering this matter We should
not forget that in Sheridan's report we
find that in this Valley Campaign he cap
tured 1O1, piefes of artillery, which is
about the number that usually accom-
panies an army of 10000 men.

A prominent authority, says a as
patch states that Southwestern Lou,

nlant more cotton this year than ever
before. This is occasicned by the
hich prices that have prevailed during
the past two seasons. Just what
acreage will be planted cannot be es-
timated, but cotton is sure to take up
the ten per cent decrease in rice acre
ace. and much more. Many new gins
are being built and other prepare
tions made for handling the crop. Al
of the big rice mills of Southwes
