For the first time in magazine MS
tory it has been necessary to reprint
part Of Il series Of articles before it's
completion. The announcement by the
publishers of Everybody's Magazine,
in the department "With the Pub
lisherS," of their December issue,
that they have been forced to publish
in pamphlet form "the chapters that
have gone before :" of tFrenzled
Finance" by Thomas w. Lawson, is
strongly significant OF the great inter-
est with which the public is following
The Story Of Amalgamatcd. These
articles we're begun IN the July num-
Der. but this and subsequent numbers
are now entirely out of print. Con-
s%eQuently, the million and more peo-
pie who are now interested in Mr..
Lawson's articles, but did not read
the "foreword" in the July issue and
others of the early chapters, are now
unable to obtain the issues containing
them. 1t is their insistent and con.
tlnued demand that has induced The
publishers to issue the reprint OF The
chapters from July to November.

two-column roundup of features and
fancieS OF an unparalleled capital con-
test from the standpoint of IL bureau
chief, appearing in last weeks Kim
ball Graphic, reads like IL romance
and is a capital contribution to the
history OF the struggle as we'll as a
literary gem. Wish that we could
find room for its reproduction in The
Republican this week: perhaps we
can, next week. Editor Tinan did Il
great work and a good work as mana
ger Of Mitchell's press and publicity
department in the capital grapple.
and, though his cause was defeated,
no part Of the discontinue can be
charged to his account. He conduct
ed a chivalrous, conscientious cam
paign. Had he been called hence
while in charge of it, it could truth
fully have been said of him as of Il
historic %chevaIier: "Died on the field
of honor"

Nermillion Republican,: The last
faint echoes from the capital fracas
are dying away this week. and Pierre
pullers and Mitchell managers are
fraternizing once more-each vying
with the other IN helping roll onward
the high-tide OF the states prosperous
progress. BY Thanksgiving day there
will not be visible a single trace of
the stern and strenuous antagonism
that during the campaign cleft the
great mass of our citizens in two near
ly equal and seemingly forever dis
united factions, each devotedly cling
ing to the colors representing their
respective city candidates for South
DalSota's seat of government.

Sioux Falls Press: The ambition of
Mitchell to secure the seat of govern
ment was a natural Que and it made Il
strong fight for the prize it first
sought more than 20 years ago and has
never abandoned. But for the mi
quities of the old territorial capital
commission, Mitchell would probably
have secured the territorial govern
mental Headquarters in 1883 and
would have been able to retain it
under statehood.

HALLOWEEN FORTUNES

+, q tiny pot of water already simmer
ing over a tiny alcohol lamp at one
| end of the table. A jug of water
stands near and 1t is the duty of the
guest to add water and stir the con-
tents Of the tiny kettle. for the
greatest misfortune attends him who
permits the boiling apple to boil dry
and burn before the fortune Is COM
plete. If 1t occurs the fortune stops
abruptly, since the omen is consid-
cred i'll and the future is too black
to be foretold. This must be told
the guest before his fortune is be-
gun. A bone is given him with which
to stir.
The first rhyme chanted by the
fortune teller runs thus:
"One I love; two love; three 1 love
cay;
-Four I love with ali my heart: I'VE I
cast away;
Six he loves; seven she loves;
Eight they both love;
Nine he comes; ten he tarries;
Eleven he courts and twelve he mar
,ries:
Thirteen quarrel: fourteen part;
Fifteen die with q broken heart"
The paper upon which the names
are written is then closely folded
and given to the fortune teller. who
holds It during the entire fortune,

candle flame.

The old time counting out rhymes
are then used to unlock the doors OF
the future. There are three rhymes
which can be used to determine who

is to be the future husband or wife
The rhymes are repeated until one
seed is left. That seed, as named
gives the name of the future partnI
through life. Go through the rhyme
giving one word to seed. Repeat
the rhymes in case there are more
seeds than words, and go again oveI
the seeds twice If there are more
words than seeds.
Here are three old counting out
rhymes:
'Intry, mintry, cutery-corn;
Apple seed and apple thorn;
Wire, brier, Undertook,
Six geese in flock:
Two few east, two flew west;
Two flew over the cookoo's nest.
Sit and sing by the spring

Another runs thus:
"One-ery, two-ery. ickery Ann,
Fillicy, fallacy, Nicholas John.
Queever, qnaver. English knaver,
Stinckelum, Stanckelum, jericho,
buck"
The third runs thus:
Monkey, monkey, bottle OF beer
How many monkeys are there here?
Four and twenty, that's enough;
Give the poor monkey a pinch OF

the order OF the seeds, though as
they are counted out they should be

GR0CERS ORGANIZE A TRUST FOR THE
PURPOSE OF GRINDING POOR PEI

II IN TO fight Jeannot Bros. that
the Spokane Grocers' association has
been incorporated ito foster . per-
manent social feeling" AMONG the
grocers.
The rrocers trust has been making
an illegal fight In using the boycott.
The members knew this and they
knew also that every member Of the
trust was liable personally to the
courts for the acts Of the organfxa-
,tion.
In order to relieve the individual
grocers from the fear Of being COM
PEELED to pay damages In case any
boycotted firm or grocer instituted
suit the trust has been incorporated.

ators, c. F. siegier runs trust gro

fetal positions Of the trust associa-
ton. The little fellows" have been
forced into these dangerous positions.
They will stand personal responsible
ity, but the big grocers will put up
the money for the trust fights.
As an incorporated body the trust
grocers are not now individually re-
sponsible for the law-breaking meth
DDS of the boycott. This Is the rea-
son the Spokane Grocers' association
was incorporated.
The Press believes the greedy oc-
topus which Is formed to grind still
harder the workingman and his fam

the combine and who have tried to
give an honest value to the consumer
for the money paid have been driven
into bankruptcy and ruined CONNER

The weapon Of the trust IL the flle-
sal and devii-ridden boycott. II il

ISOLATION notifies the wholesalers that
they must not sell goods to that par
ticular grocer. The retailer Is brought
face to face with the alternative of
joining the trust and doubling his
prices or being boycotted by the
wholesalers.
This 10 the kind Of "sociabiiity'
the new articles Of incorporation
stand for. This is the excessive and
unmeroantile competition" which is
to be corrected.
Occasionally an outside grocer has
found a way to buy outside Of the
trust wholesalers. In such q case
the trust has opened a new grocery

hood and has driven him into bank
ruptcy by selling goods at prices
which no dealer could stand. When
the outside grocer is broke the trust
closes its store.
One Man who Fights.
But since last April there has en-
tered into Spokane as an enemy Of
the trust a new factor in the firm
Of Jeannot Bros. This firm 10
wealthy. has large stores outside Of
Spokane and came here with the
avowed purpose OF fighting the spo-
kane Grocers' trust.
For months the trust has fought
the firm. Jeannot Bros. can not buy
a pound Of staples in Spokane or
through Spokane tobbers.
Yet the people who pay the freight
have rallied to the FIRMS support, It
has been growing bigger and bigger
every day and now has two stores
instead Of one. with third in pros
pect.

After the seed tests have been APP

guest another apple. which he pares
without breaking the peeling. This
he casts over his left shoulder. On

names, is burned by the fortune tell

boiling apple. If the apple has not
been allowed to boil dry and burr

Spokane grocers who are In the
great local trust organised for the
purpose Of compelling consumers to
pay more money for what they eat
have cleared the decks for action in
what is to be q fierce war Of exter-
mination. The proposed victims of
the trust are the grocers who have
refused to join the combination to
force up prices for the laboring men,
who are now compelled to pay out
all of their earnings to the trust gro
GERS and butchers.
The grocers' trust has been in ex-
istence for some years, but has never
been Iorced into publicity until late
ly when brains and capital entered
Spokane to fight the greedy ones. The
venture was at first cried down. but
so strong has grown the opposing
firm that the grocers have been COM
PEELED to reorganixe the trust in order
to maintain themselves.
This reorganization was made pub
lie with the Ming OF articles Of In

associations" the purposes Of which
are quoted ito foster a permanent
social feeling among the grocers Of
the city, to obliterate distrust and
inspire confidence. to correct excess
