Hartridge is Sore.

New York City-There are persis-
tent rumors in and around the criminal
courts building that the relations be-
tween Harry Thaw and his counsel,
Clifford W. Hartridge, are strained
to the utmost, and may soon reach
that point where reconciliation will
not be possible. For the last few
days Hartridge has zot called at the
Tombs, but in his place his partner, A.
B. Peabody, has talked with Thaw.
Thaw has not been taking his out
door exercise with the other priso-
ners, and will not go down to the court
yard when the others are called. 1t
is said in the Tombs that he cannot
stand the strain of the confinement
without outdoor exercise much longer.
He looks worn and worried, and un-
less he gets out in the air it is be-
lieved there will be a physical break
down.
It is pointed out that had Thaw re-
tanned a criminal lawyer he would at
least have been able to get out once d
week by his lawyers getting habeas
corpus writs and having him taken
to the various courts for hearings.
This method has been used before In
similar cases in the past, and the pris-
oners were able in some eases to go to
court in their own carriages.

Must Have Contracts in Court.

Topeka, Kan Investigations oy
the international Harvester Com
pany have been instituted in the
courts of Reno and Shawnee counties
by Attorney-General Coleman, who
alleges that the concern is violating
the antitrust law. All the implement
dealers of Topeka and Hutchinson
have been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore District Judges Dana and Gale
to tell what they know of the methods
of this alleged trust.
1t is charged against the company
that it has "secret arrangements and
agreements with dealers in various
lines, particularly in the business of
milling and trading in grain" This
also opens the way for Investigations
against the millers, and it is under
stood that number Of them will be
called upon as soon as the implement
dealers Investigations are completed.
The implement dealers are request
ed to bring into court all contracts
entered into between them and the In
ternational Harvester Company for
the years 1904, 1905 and 1906. If
Attorney General Coleman succeeds
in procuring enough evidence to es-
tablish the allegations that the compa-
ny is trust, he expects to compel it
to cease business in Kansas and en-
force collection of penalties for do
ing business since 1902.

Peace Overtures Blocked.

Havana. All peace overtures are
blocked by the refusal of Pino Guerra
insurgent leader in Pinar del Rio
Province to enter into amy arrange
ment for an armistice. Guerra's an
swer to the government announce
ment of it's readiness to grant ten
days armistice is the blowing UP OF
two bridges on the Western railway,
the cutting Of railway communication
beyond Pinar City and an attack ON
San Juan de Martinez.
1t is believed that San Juan de Mar
tinez is in the hands Of the insur-
gents and that the garrison of 100
government recruits and small force
of mounted rural guards has been de-
feated or captured.
The fact that other leaders of the
insumection are willing to agree to
an armistice can have little effect so
long as Guerra is determined to pros
ecute the war, as there is slight
doubt IN any quarter that Guerra can
control the situation in his region.
His force is reported as more than
5000 men, all well mounted, some
we'll and others indifferently armed
The opposing government force under
command of Col. Avelos, comprises
about 1000 men. 1t was reinforced
this evening by Lieut.. Col. Clews with
150 men and three machine guns
from Havana. Col. Avelos', force with
the exception of small detachmen.s
left at San Juan de Martinez and
Louis is at Pinar de Rio City but is
without means of transportation to go
to the relief of San Juan de Mar
tinez.

to friends in the north that weighed

At Liberty recently a show thai
was unique and interesting was made
under the direction of ]. M. Smith,
an enthusiastic breeder Of good stock.
Mr.. Smith is the owner of splendid
stallion and jack Of which he is and
has right to be proud. He offered
handsome list of premiums for colts
from his splendid animals and about
a dozen each of horses and mules were
shown. 1t was a sight that pleased
the eye of those who are interested in
the breeding Of fine stock and belisv-
ers in the adaptability of our state for
such interests. The Gloster Record
states that this display clearly demon
strated the fact that just as good
mules and horses could be raised here
as any where under the sun. This is
undoubtedly beyond contradiction and
an increasing interest in the industry
is hailed with delight by those with
the best interests of our state al
heart.

Maben has organized and will soon
throw open the doors Of a second
banking institution. It seems that
money is sure enough growing on
trees up in that section of the state
that is developing so rapidly here OF
late when two banks are required to
hold the deposits. However, it goes
TO prove that the people are dong
well and have money that is not IN
use every day. Mislssslppl's banking
record during the past few yeaN has
been marvellous one indeed and the
prospects for a continuance seems to
be good. However, if there should be
a slight period of depression to fol-
low the unusually prosperous times
we have been experiencing, there IS no
need for alarm. Such periods usually
follow, but with the sound foundation
we possess for our greatness, there is
every reason to believe that matters
would soon right themselves and ev-
erything would move along as be-
fore without serious ;indrance.

Mississippi has demonstrated tim
and again that it is the best state IN
the Union for general diversification
crops and that cotton IS not the only
one that can be grown with profit
The Hot Times at Guntown last week
recorded that j. J. Flanagan had
brought to that Office four ears of corn
that weighed six pounds, the largest
weighing l "a pounds and measuring
IL IA inches in length. Mr.. Bibb OF
Sunfower county brought to the En-
terprise office at IndianoIa an ear that
weighed after being stripped of shuck
and silks, 1-2 pounds. 1t was thor
oughly matured and did not show a
faulty grain. This is a good showing
for the corn crop of our state and it
is to be hoped that some of this corn
will be sent to the exposition to let
the thousands from other states who
will visit us during that time see what
we can do In the way Of corn.

Burgin faced In the matter of securing

at Morrisyille, Pa, arrived yesterday,
but they proved a long way off from the
$500 reward. II the negro who stood for
his picture before a sombre gray wall in
the jail yard at Morrisvllle could be

be taken for an understudy of the negro
so badly wanted.
If his two gold teeth could be moved
from the side to the front, his face made
over and his color would fade he might
be considered in the running. as was said
at the sheriff's office but as he stands
he cannot palm himself off for the origi-
nal About the only point of resemblance
to Dix Is his size

Saturday afternoon by officer Nix for al
legged peculiar actions which resulted in
the fright of two little girls Owing to the
excitement aroused some time ago by the
kidnapping of little child, the police de-

the evidence given him by the children.
but Judge Feagin would not accept it,
and mol pressed the case, thereby clearing
Murray of the charge.
