FRANCIS OUT ON BOND.

CHI. Francis was brought back
to the city Thursday morning by
I. A. Marshall. His bond of $500 was
signed by NJ. NJ. Hallam and Fran
cis left for Western Kansas to re-
sumo his insurance work, says the
Galena Times.
Francis will fight the case. He
says that he is guilty of no wrong
and is being imposed upon by the
Baxter widow, Mrs. Labadie, who
claims that Francis insured her by
misrepresentation. Francis says
that the widow took out $1,000 in the
Missouri state life and gave note
for that amount. He further states
that the prosecutors have soughtto
compromise the matter ifhe would
take up the note.
The insurance man claims that 1t
10 simply a skin game and to get in
surance for nothing, and that he
will give his prosecutors chance
to make good in the courts.

Among the items of interest to
those who are interested in public
affairs is the money spent in put
ting in the big pipe line for gas
from the Kansas gas fields. The
company claims to pay more than
s. foot for l6.inch pipe, 80 that the
pipe alone would cost more than
$4,000 per mile. 1t is said that it
costs as much to put in the pipe az
il does to construct a railroad. 80
that the cost of material and labor
ia enormous. In Ohio the assessed
valuation of pipe lines is $500 a
mile for 16-inch mains and $l,5OO a
mile for S.inch mains. There are 70
miles of 6inch and IL miles of 3
inch pipe to be laid in Cherokee
county which will add, with the
branch line to Galena and Military,
which are not yet accurately de-
termined, and with the piping OF
the cities and towns, considerably
more than $4,000 to taxable assess,
ed valuation, which should be well
come thing to propert owners. And
incidentally the properties put in

nv will be a big addition to the
revenue paying resources of the

of sulphur into a wineglass of wa

The Cherokee county officials
have decided to try the Crawford
county method of taxing jofntists.
The plan is a quarterly fine under
the club house act, each joint or ga
loon being fined $l00, which is turn
ed into the school fund. Crawford
county has been using this plan for
several years and it has been found
very successful. The saloon men
are willing to pay good sized fine
rather than be arrested, put in jail
and forced to stand the expense OF
a trial. The new plan has already
been started in Cherokee county
eleven iointists in the north part o.
the county, having been fined the
past week. 1t is said that the mon
ey raised in this way will add some
$4,000 to the Cherokee county
school fund every year.

The idea that blind people are capa.
BILE of exercising certain hackneyed
professions, such as brush, basket and
mat making, has been triumphantly re-
futed by Mr.. S. Ferris, resident OF
Swindon, who, though totally sight
less, carries on a most successful bust
ness as a practical electrician in that
town.
Mr.. Ferris gained the requisite
knowledge of the business at the
Swindon technical schools, winning
four certificates and two first prizes
in competition with seeing students.
His principal, Mr.. Knowles, had no
hesitation in leaving him in full charge
of the engine and dynamos.
Mr.. Ferris has since carried out sew
eral contracts for the installation OF
electric light to the entire satisfaction
of the Swindon Corporation engineer
and his customers and has recently
secured a fresh contract for wiring
and fitting ten houses.
The blind electrician judges the di'
rection and distance of surrounding
objects by the echo of his own foot.
steps, and is thus enabled to steer
clear of obstacles. He never uses a
walking stick.
Mr.. Ferris's method in wood-turning
is to hold the machine tool in the right
hand only, and allow the fingers of the
left to rest on the revolving work, so
that he may detect if it is being ac'
curately done. He grinds and sharp
ems his own implements, also cutlery
of all kinds.--London Daily Mail.

Trnitn or lrar snnirreln.

Early writer's tell of wonderful mi
grafton of American gray squirrels,
which must have arisen from the rapid
increase and consequent overcrowding
Of locality. Thousands of this species
would start off in a regular army, all
moving in the same direction and with
considerable rapidity, allowing moth
Ing to stop their onward march. AL
though these little animals have an ex-
IRENE aversion to water and do not
excel as swimmers, yet, whenever a
water course, no matter what width,
barred their progress, they would not
hesitate for an instant, but plunge in
and struggle desperately for the Oppo-
site shore, selling upon anything in the
way of floating sticks or chips to assist
them in the passage.
Unless the river was very narrow by
far the smaller percentage reached the
farther shore, the rest becoming ex-
hasted and drowning. These armies
never seemed to reach any destination,
but gradually their numbers would de-
crease by death from drowning and
other hardshlps, until the band faded
entirely away.
Gray squirrels, generally four in a
nest, are born in March or early April.
They never venture forth from the
nest during the first month and are at
tended alone by the mother. She takes
this task upon herself from choice,
and does not allow another squirrel,
even her own mate, to approach the
nest-Chicago News.

Arc the Packsrs ReoelrInr Fair plnra

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play?
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three months
of publicity 1t is significant that those
who attempted to discredit it have
failed to controvert the figures COLI
tanned in that exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out Of which the Beef Investigation"
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tlonal assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in n recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation Of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, Of the banking de-
partment of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states thaN they have
been caused by unwise speculations and
by reckless banking methods. 1t may
be well to suspend judgment upon the
packers until the charges against them
are proved,

The MODERN FARMER.
How He Lives As Compared with FIT,
Years Ago.


Years Ago.
T HE farming life of to-day, as
contrasted with that OF fifty
years ago, Is paradise OF
comfort and convenience. The
lonely loghouse, remote from market
and devoid OF advantages that a half
cycle OF time has made possible, would
scarcely appeal to the present day
farmer.
The twentieth century soil tiIler has
practically all the modern comforts.
His mail is delivered daily. He has
telephone connection with the buying
and selling world, alfording the best
opportunities for marketing to advan-
tage. His home is of recent architec-
ture. constructed OF wood brick or
stone, and well furnished. He has
modern plumbing and modern heating,
and with the advent OF acetylene gas,
he has modern lighting. AT night his
home Is as attractlyely illuminated as
that of his city brother for It is q sug.

The continued growth and progress
Of this great country, ever cause OF

fcation than evolution on the farm.
