Brockway's Terms in Prison.
Brockway served his first term in prison
for counterfeiting bonds of the MOTIFS anu

authorities Of New York. and the crime

expected to make fortune. They lnstaiieo
Eaener and a man named Wagner as
general utility man. Both these persons
got prison sentences later. The Smith Wo-
man put the silk threads in the notes.
The secret service agents became sus-
picious of Brockway and began watching
him. When they swooped down on .ns
house they captured the entire plant ana
three-fourths of a million dollars in the
new counterfeits. None of these had ever
been put in circulation, and the capture
was a most fortunate one in every way.
Brockways companions. except Courtney,
were convicted and have served sentences.
March T. 1896, Brockway was sentenced TO
serve ten years In Trenton and to pay
fine of 81, 600. His term has been shortened
by good behavior, and he took the poor
deftor's oath and will not have to pay the
fine.

GUI WHAT OHt JAILED TUX
Bridgeport Woman Insisted on
Getting Father Johns Medicine
and Saved Her Husbands Life
Had COughed for Years and
Was Without Hope.

Last winter my husband had very bad cough,
In fact he had coughed for years. but last winter
he had to take to his bed and was 30 bad that
thought 1t his last. The name of Father
Johns Medicine came to me in my trouble, and
went to a drug store and asked for the medicine,
but the clerk did not want to give me that-they
had something Just good, the clerk said. But
insisted on having Father Johns Medicine and
got what wanted. / thank God that did, be-
cause l gave the medicine to my husband end he
has not coughed from that day to this As long
ss we live shall sing the praise Of Father
Johns Medicine, and shall tell all those suffer-
lug with coughs to get it. Your medicine is un-

Cairo's Opinion.

According TO article VII, section 4
Paducah has very clearly forfeited the
game played last week when Goodwin
of Nineennes pitched for that team
against Cairo. The section says in
part; THAT there shall positively be
no loaning, selling. or releasing for any.
or no consideration, during the cham
pionship season, except during the first
three t3) months thereof, player may
be loaned to a crippled team which alb
solutely requires his services, provided
first, that the crippled team shall make
and file affidavit with the secretary that
the players services are indispensable
to il on account of its crippled condi-
ton"
The above is the Cairo Bulletins idea
of it. Cairo forgets, however, that all
the clubs are daily, and have been all
the season, violating several of the
rules.

THE TOBACCO CROP
NOT MUCH SHORT
A Fairly Good Crop Has Been
Raised.
Prices Are Expected to BE Better
Than They Have Been For
Sometime Past.
KEHANDLING HOUSES CLOSING

Local tobacco men say that although
il is claimed in some quarters that the
tobacco crop in this section viii be-
light. a. matter OF fact 1t viii be
nearly a. large as usual and prices VIII
probably be better than for some time
past. because the crop is more TO the
liking Of the buyers.
The rchandling houses are closing
down, and in few weeks they will all
have closed for the season. The lmpe-
rial company's stemmery at Fifth and
Clay has been closed Tor some little
time, and Manager Clarence Martin has
gone TO Greenville, Ky, to accept a
position.
The Imperial company's stemmeries
in this country. which include several
in Kentucky. will not do much until the
English government removes the tax re-
Gently imposed ON steamed tobacco.
The company could ship ii with the
stems. but it is claimed unstemmed to-
bacco j. too hard to handle after bcing
priced for shipment, and that such a
howl will eventually 20 up from manu-
facturers in England over having 10
pay 6 cents for the stemmed tobacco, or
handling the product with stems, that
the government will remove the tax.
The tobacco sales in Paducah are inn
proving and tomorrow the regular sale
will he held with about the Usual otter
inns.

Well-Known Pitcher Dies.

Murray Brown, known in the baseball
world as Babe" Brown, the star twirl-
en- for the New Orleans Southern League
team, is dead, having died of typhoid
fever in Shreveport, La, yesterday.
Brown was born and raised in Louis
lana and went to playing ball a little
more than two years ago. He was but
81 years of age but rated as the best
pitcher in the Southern League. He
has a brother who caught for Paducah
short time last season, being the reg
ular catcher for the Goss Louisville
amateur team.
Babe" Brown was small, weighing
but l20 pounds, but was terror to all
Southern League batters. His record
last year was about 9TH in the pitching
averages and this year is said TO be
even better.

am sending copy of the Glacier to
my brother, J, M. Shelley of Eugene,
and last week he wrote me like this !:
"We read your 0dell notes with pleas
ure and enjoy your boom items" OF
course we forgive this brother for such
a statement, for we realize 1t Is difficult
for him, living us he does in IA slow
ploddlng, moss-cOvered country like
the Willamette valley, to understand
the marked contrast between the land
of Webfoots and that of Hood River
valley-n0t only the best advertised
valley In the Northwest, but from a
revenue-produCing basis, the very best
on record. And why? 1t Is filled up
with u class of wideawake, enterprising
people, who, by reason of rural daily
mail and telephone service, are abso-
lutely up-todate, and acquainting
themselves with improved methods in
ranching, they they produce the best
possible results; while the products of
the valley find their way into the best
markets of the world. This solves the
problem of land values here, and re-
moves every semblance of boom from
the Odell notes.
The clearing of land aud the plant
ing of thousands of apple trees in the
country, together with the erection of
the substantial brick blocks in Hood
River this year, with Others, that are
now forcing their way to completion
through the storms of winter are sill
'ent, eloquent witnesses, attestlng the
growth aud development of this most
wonderful valley. While have pleas

during the years of maturity we can

who recently came here from the East,
and has been touring the willamette
valley with view of buying home,
has returned to Hood River, and will
no doubt purchase home here. We

pending for ranch in the valley.
