Farm land in a certain locality was
selling at about 500 per acre and 4
trolley line passed along through that
locality and land now sells at from
$125 to $3.50 per acre. This is the way
1t helps the land Owner. The land is
more valuable, and it is the demand
for it that causes it to enhance In

Papers not posted on the status of
the Angora industry are liable to print
some strange news thereon. The fol-
lowing srom the American Cultivator
is a case In point: THE popularity of
nc Ans5ra goat seems to have bee;.
d short-ilved affair. Some of the larger
concerns have gone out of business,
declaring that the young stock could
not be sold. Others have offered goats
at 81 per head. Probably the truth is
that the boom in sheep has side-track-
ed the goat business for the time Le-

The Fulton Gazette says: Last
Monday S. P. Emmons, of Mexico,
bought 1000 pounds of wool at
2319 and 2SS cents. This wool
was clipped from 500 Western
sheep, an average over 8 pounds to
the sheep.
Clarence Berry, near Long
Branch, says the Paris Appeal,
paid 81. % per head for Sc Utah
ewes last fall. Their total cost
was 1865. SO. He sold their wool
for $3.50. so and their lambs for
$326.60. This leaves the SO ewes
aud $1,000 in cash above the
original cost of the flock. A hun
bred per cent profit looks rather
small by the side Of such business
as this.
Taylor Arnold, according to the
Fulton Gazette, is the heaviest
cattle feeder in the Kingdom o
Galloway He came over int,

THE BAILEY TRIAL.
The Case Is Attractirg Wide AT.
tention atFulton.

VINO are charged with the murder
Of R. j Lawder, Bailey's employ.
er, at Farber, Audraiu county, on
November 26, last, will be ar
raigned for trial in the Circuit
Court Of Galloway County to.mor-
row morning The case has at
tracted wide attention aud the
trial is expected to prove dramatic.
Judge Alonzo Burns, Of Platte
City, has been called as special
Judge to preside over the trial, on
account of the illness Of Judge A.
M. Waller. The attorneys on both
sides Of the case announce that
they are prepared for trial, and
unless something very much unex-
peeted should turn up the trial
will proceed without delay.
1t is expected that the first day
will be consumed in procuring a
jury, it being necessary to secure a
panel of forty qualified jurors from
which to select the twelve men
who will try the case. Inasmuch
as the killing was not committed
ia this county, it is not anticipated
that there will be much trouble in
securing jurymen. After the
panel of forty are selected the de-
tense will have twenty-four hours
in which to make its challenges,
but the attorneys ON both sides
are hoping TO begin the evidence
Tuesday morning.
Nearly 100 witnesses have been
subpoenaed, forty of whom are for
the State. The defense has sub
poenaed several OF the physicians
Of the State Hospital for Insane, of
this city, besides several other ply.
sicians considered to be experts on
insanity, aud the presumption is
that the line of defence will be in
sanity. tho the attorneys are mum
as to their intentions in the mat
ter.
The killing, according TO Ed
mund Bailey, resulted from the
improper relations Of Lawder with
Mrs. Bailey. Lawder, whose home
was at Mexico, was preparing to
board train at Farber to return
to his home, when Bailey appeared
in the crowd at the station and
walking up TO Lawder. shot him tc
death. Lawder fell into the arms
Of his brother, Edward Lawder
Ewho is taking an active part il
the prosecution Of the case.
After the killing. Mrs. Bailey
made a confession, in which sh,
stated that she had been on init
mate terms with Lawder.
Feeling against the Baileys il
Mexico following the killing wal
such that they had to be removed
from the Audrain county Jail to tn,
Jail in st. Louis.
Lawder was a member of tn
| Lawder- Peterson Coal Mining Co.
at Farber, and Bailey was a mine
lin the employ of the company
Lawder was in comfortable fnan
cial circumstances and his famil.

The total losses at San Francis
co will be equal to, if they do not
exceed, the aggregate capital and
surplus of all the domestic fire
insurance companies licensed to do
business in the state of California.
1t is patent, therefore, as some
of the stronger companies, after
paying losses, will still show ample
capital and surplus, that many
of the weaker companies will be
compelled to go out of
business. About one fourth of the
companies are paying their losses
in San Francisco dollar for dollar,
