Crooks Are Developed


'It is fact that many a first-class
criminal has developed as the result of an
arrest for some petty offense by a wild
good-natured boy. 1t is horrible to think
of the experience of an innocent lad lock-
ed up in cell with hardened criminals.
no matter how much his thoughtlessness
may have deserved chaStisement at the
hands of the law
general discussion of the local situa
tien followed Mr.. Hurley's address, in
which Judges Kelly, Bazille and Fineheut
took leading part. Among the others
who gave their views on the subject were:
Rev. S. G. Smith, Rev. E. P. Savage, e.
F. Durment and A. w. Gutridge.
Each of the speakers voiced the views
of Mr.. Hurley and all were unanimous as
to the pressing need of some change in
the method of handling the cases of
Juvenile offenders. The principal objec-
ton to the present system was the fact
that the municipal court has jurisdiction
of these cases.
President Smith, of the Commercial
club, agreed to appoint a committee to
act with similar bodies from other or.
ganizations to develop the possibilities of
the case in ST. Paul. Mr.. Hurley spoke in
Minneapolis last night and will leave
for Chicago today.

 AN IMPRISONED AUTHOR-Tec~e is an inmate Of the county jail N-so possesses considerable literary ability He is contributor to one of the most exclusive magazines in this country. He is q short story writer and has just finished a story which was mailed last night No doubt it will be read with delight by many Phoenix people who will not imagine that it was sent from Phoenix. and will especially not Imagine that # was written in the AIaricopa county jail. It would serve no other purpose than to gratify 2 curiosity to tell the name Of the author or the name of the magazine, and it might damage tEa author who is all ready having a sufficiently hard time of it. The prisoner has 9 nom de- plume which appears in connection with his stories but that will afford the curious TO clue to his identity.
 WHERE IS GEORGE EAUMAN- An inquiry has been received in Phoe- nix through the postodice concerning the whereabouts Of George Eauman. The inquiry comes from Augusta Bau- man. living at Louisiana. Mo. It is un- derstood that he was at one fine work ing in this vicinity on a railroad in the capacity of day laborer. When he was last heard Of here he said that he had been on a bond as q witness in a mur- der trial. His mother who is very old wants him at home. She is very 1T. The writer says that she has plenty of means for both of them through life and that if he will come home she will send him money to pay his fare. No one could be found yesterday who re- membered any body of the name of Bauman who had been held here as q witness. AbOIt two years ago there was a circus employe shot and killed here and couple of the employees of the circus. were detained as witnesses but their names have been forgotten.

been in use for over thirty years,
during which time many million
bottles have been sold and used.
1t has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of
Group in thousands of homes, yet
during all this time no case has
ever been reported to the
manufacturers in which it failed
to effect a cure. When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse
or even as soon as the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the
attack. 1t is pleasant to take,
many children like it. 1t contains
no opium or other harmful sub

fdently to a baby as to an adult,

Break Rock or Pick Cotton.

Waco, Tex. Aug. 30.-Cooks,
house servants, washwomen, and
yardmen are at premium here,
almost all the laboring popula-
ton, men, women and children
having departed for the cotton
fields, where cash wages with
board are paid, and where they
can enjoy the pleasures of biv-
ouac in crowds, a manner of liv-
ing pretty attractive to the color
ed race.
The planters sent wagons in
Saturday evening and spent
Sunday canvassing for pickers.
Monday eighty wagon loads of
colored people were hauled away.
The few colored servants here
have the "cotton patch fever"
and most of them will depart.
Not only colored, but white and
Mexican pickers have been secur-
ed and still the demand is press
ing, Thousands are picking cot
ton and tens of thousands are
wanted, for the hot wave has
caused general opening of the
bolls, and al that is feared now
is inability to gather the staple.
To help out toward getting the
cotton crop gathered, Chief of
Police Dollins, with a squad of
his men, raided all resorts of the
idle classes and gave the Migrants
their choice of the rock pile and
the cotton patch. In that way

he only thinks he has it,. There

and said on her return that it
would be impossible for the healer
to see the sick man. Accordingly
he went away, but came back in a
few days to try again. The same
servant opened the door for him.

State Saves Money.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 80.-The
rapid advance in wheat and -four
has caused the observation to be
made that the State Purchasing
Agent made his contract for a
years supply OF flour for all of the
State eleemosynary institutions
before the furry occurred. His
flour contract is now worth several
thousand dollars more than if it
were to be made today. The price
of flour, it is stated, advanced
more than. III per barrel. The con-
tract price was 81 30 in cloth and
S4,60 in wood. The State instltu-
tons will use about $500 BARRELS
under the new contract.
A year ago the State flour con-
tract saved money, as the market
advanced shortly after the award
was made. 1t is presumed the
contractors protected themselves
this time by buying as soon as
they received the notice of award,
for under the contract the asylum
warehouses were open to full
deliveries

New plan for Selling Cotton.

Several times during last season
farmers living within Runnels
county carried their cotton to
towns outside the county claim
ing they obtained an advance
that paid them for the extra dis
lance Travelled. The writer lives
in Runnels county and wishes TO
see Balliuger the leading town in
the West for low priced goods and
the best cotton market. and |
would suggest "a change in the
method Of selling cotton from the
street selling plan: Let all cot
ton be deposited at yard or ware
house, the farmer taking sam
pie from each bale to the merchant
and have the merchant sci, tor
him. This is a far superior plan
of the one heretofore used in
Ballinger aud many other mark.
cts. There are many reasons why
this is true.
The merchant gets quotations
every hour and knows exactly
what the market is. lie is able
to class your cotton and can tell
at a glance what it should bring.
Not 80 with the farmer, not one of
whom in a hundred can classify
cotton, and If he could, he would
not know the latest quotations
and, therefore, could not sell to
the best advantage On the
other hand, the buyer feels per-
fectly safe in buying from the
merchants, both as to weight and
packing; he ID not obliged to
shave the price as an indemnity
against these probable losses.
Please do not mistake me favoring
the merchant buying the farmers
cotton for do not NV plan is
to sell to the buyer and do away
with the middle man.
Another reason why the mer.
chant should keep the market
quotations, is that it often hap
pens there are days when only
one buyer is in the market, other
BUYERS having no orders from
their house, or because of rapid
fluctuations. When tits is the
case the farmers would he at the
mercy of one buyer, while the
merchant knowing the market,
would not, and could demand the
top price.
These are only few of the
many reasons that could be given
With plenty of buyers and the
merchant selling their customers
cotton there won d. be no excuse
for farmers going elsewhere to
sell. 1t is my honest desire to see
the farmer get full value for his
cotton for l believe it is due him
and this plan | believe to be the
only one whereby he will get full
va!ue.-J NJ. Slaughter, MAYER.
