Want New County.

During the coming session of
the Wisconsin legislature an eff
fort will be made to have a new
county created from territory
now comprising the lower part
of Forest, the western part of
Marimette, and the. north end of
Oconto counties, making Wabeno
which will then be the geograph-
ical center of the prodosed new
county, the county seat.
The agitation for new county,
one of the; objects of (which seems
to be the development of Wabeno
as a city and trading center, had
its .origln'iI that little numbering
burg; and it is reported that the
movement has the sanction of
w. d. Connor, the lieutenant
governor elect who is heavily
interested in that section. 4
The Independent is informed
that the men who are backing up
this movement are working quiet
ly on the project, sending out
.Hsfeelers'' here. and there and en-.
deavorihg to create a favorable
sentiment for the new county in.
the territory which it is proposed
to have detached from the other
counties and made into a new
county.
- In all probability an effort will
be made to take.a slice from the
east side of Langlads county, the
territory in Marinette which the
promoters covet being two town
ships each from the towns of
Dunbar and Athelstane. These
four townships border on the
east line of Forest county.
Whether or not any .'.feelers"
have been sent to this county 10
not known but it is a certainty
that the project will meet with
strong opposition from the peo.
pie of Marinette county thro'
their representatives in both
branches of the legislature.
Four years ago Florence conn.
ty people tried to railroad q bin
through the legislature that
would cut of the north half of
the town Amberg and make it a
part of the county of Florence,
but the citizens of Marinette
county put up opposition suffici.

Southern is Making
Changes in Schedule
Train viii Leave Birmingham at NJ for Columbus, Miss,
Making Close Connection With Train for Sheffield, Florence
and TuSCumba- Result of The Age-Herads Efforts

The Age-Herald, after earnest efforts.
has finally succeeded in inducing the
Southern Railway company to inaugurate
an early morning service out of Birming-
ham to Columbus, Miss, and Florence,
Sheffield, Tuscumbia and other important
towns on the Northern Alabama road.
This means that The Age-Herald will
reach those cities early in the day instead
of late in the evening.
The new service goes into effect Sun
day, October %. The train that now leaves
Birmingham at twenty-five minutes past
noon will be changed to leave at a. m.
1t will reach Columbus about II a. m. in
stead of 5:l5 p m. as at present At Par
IRISH it will make connection with a train
for Florence. Sheffield and Tuscumbia,
reaching Sheffield about noon.
Returning the train will leave Columbus
at l p. M, and will reach Birmingham
about $50 p. m. while a train will leave
Sheffield at about 1870 p. M, and will
connect at Parrish with the train from
Columbus.

These trains will enable a travelling man
or merchant to leave Birmingham in the
morning, visit towns along the line, and
return the same day.
With the change of schedule there will
be train leaving Florence every morning
about o'clock, which will reach Bir-
mingham about 10:45 a. M The train, re-
turning will leave Birmingham about 800
p. M, and will reach Florence about
$50 p. m. This train will enable bust
ness men from as far away as Florence
to come to Birmingham, transact business
and return home the same day.
In its benefits to merchants in Birming-
ham and to merchants and business men
between Birmingham and Columbus and
Birmingham and Florence, this change is
regarded as one of the most important
that has been made in a long time.
1t will put The Age-Herald into some
thirty cities and towns about six hours
earlier than at present, and 1t will mean
also that The Age-Herald will be deliv-
cred early on many of the rural free de-
livery routes in North Alabama.

SUPPLY OF FISH AND
OYSTERS Is SCARCE
THE CONTINUED UNFAvORABLE
WEATHER CONDITIONS SAID TO
BE RESPONSIBLE
EGGS AND BUTTER SCARCE.

Continued unfavorable weather eondi-
tons along the gulf coast have been re-
sponsible for a short supply of fish and
oysters in the Birmingham market during
the entire week past The scarcity of
fish resulted in an advance in prices of
about Is or 20 per cent on nearly all
varieties, but the quotations on oysters
are not changed in the retail market. The
advance at Wholesale ranges from 80
cents to 81 per thousand. prominent
dealer in fish and oysters stated yesterday
that there were very few oysters in Blr-
mingham.
Chickens, eggs and butter have been
scarcer this week than they have been
for some time, but sales although the
prices are considerably advanced. are not
perceptably affected. Butter is quoted
a from 30 to 40 cents per pound for the
best grades. Eggs are selling from % to
80 cents, and chickens from 30 to 90 cents
according to size.
No live turkeys have been received by
merchants in this city yet The frozen or
cold storage stock has been ON the mar
ket for some time
Fresh vegetables are now practically
out of the question There are none on
the market, with the exception of green
lettuce and celery.

MUST JUSTIFY ACTION
LYNCHERS MAY SUI
FER FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The Supreme Court today decided adj
versely to the defendant the preliminary
questions involved In the case of Sheriff
Ship and twenty-six others of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. charged with contempt for
the Supreme Courte in lynching a negro
named Johnson after the court had taken
cognizance of the case. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Holmes, who an
nounced that with the preliminaries dis
posed of the court would proceed with the
prosecution. He did not say when the
next step would be taken.
The decision of the court brushing aside
the preliminary objections raised by the
defendants in the lynchng case and the an
nouncement that the case will proceed
means that the defendants will have to
show cause why they should not be pun
ished for contempt of the United States
Supreme Court. 1t will make very in
teresting case. The court can do with
them whatever 1t decides to do and no
power on earth can hold Its hands. In
this case the court will decide the crime
and name the punishment BETTING it.
The defendants have been at large pend
ing the decision of the prelminaries, and
it is not known whether steps will be
court or not The Department of Justice
Is the prosecutor in the case and at some
future meeting of the court will take up
the question of the next step. 1t is as
sumed that a commission will be author,
lied to take testimony, as the court Will
not personally participate in the trial OF
the alleged guilt Of the defendants.

POSITIONS WILL BE GLEN.
Outlook for Filipino Students in This
Country.

Ninety-six of the Filipino studen now /
this country will complete their four years
course in different colleges technical and
high schools next spring, and all of these
students who pass the required civil service
examination will be given positions in the
public service in the Philippines. DAVID P.
Barrows, director of education in the Phil
ippines, who left Washington for San Fran
cisco today after comforting with President
Roosevelt and the officials of the Wa. e.
partment has issued a circular for the
benefit of the students who will apply for
government positions at the close Of their
period of study in the United States.
Director Barrows says that no student
who has the disposition to do his best need
fear that ne will lack employment on his
return to the Islands. He set forth the
needs of the various bureaus of the Philip
pine government, and declares that the lat
est information shows that there is great
demanu for clerks, and especially for those
who have knowledge of Stenography and
typewriting. The director of the bureau of
agriculture, he says, states that he VIII
need several agricultural assistants. The
bureau of public lands, he says. will be
able to provide for number of Filipino
graduates. and there Is also demand for
draughtsmen printers and photographers.
The bureau of educa ION will appoint very
large number of the native students to the
position of insular teacher.

EDUCATION IN PHILIPPINES.
The Directors Annual Report to the
War Department.

The sixth annual repoT. OF the director
Of education for the Philippines. covering
the activities Of the educational work in
the islands for the year ended June 80. 1906.
which has been received at the War De-
partment, shows that there are now 3,166
primary schools in the islands. with an av-
erage attendance Of 375,54 pupils. Seven
hundred American teachers and 6,224 Fill
fpino teachers are employed.
All OF the school divisions. the report
says. conducted teachers institutes vary
ing from four to six weeks in the different
provinces. The instruction given was
divided between the common branches of
the intermediate course and special topics
OF instruction, such as school gardening,
domestic science, primary industrial work,
and methods of teaching.
There are 2,454 primary school buildings
In the islands owned by the municipalities.
and, In addition, a number of buildings
belonging to the provinces, but not con-
structed originally for school purposes are
used. Private instruction. the report says.
plays a large part in the intellectual life
OF the Islands. Many of these schools are
supported by the Catholic Church with
history reaching back several decades.
Some of these institutions teach English,
although In practically all of them Span
lsh is the basis of instruction. The
Filipino teachers, DR.. Barrows says, con-
tinue to gain In reliability, strength Of
character, and moral purpose.

LOWER MINIMUM FIXED.
Complaint of Southern Shippers Met
With a Compromise.

The case of the North Carolina case
workers against the Southern and num-
Der of other railroads was settled by COM
promise today, for a time, at least, until
the matter can be permanently adjusted
The complaint was from the manufacturers
of cheap furniture, much of which is shipped
from North Carolina to places on the
Pacific coast. There was a through rate by
carload lots. with minimum weight of
20 900 pounds to the carload. This was all
right when the manufacturers could get
cars that would hold 10000 pounds of fur
niture. But the 3G-foot cars furnished by
the railroad would not hold the minimum
carload weight or anything like it, The
company did not furnish the 42-foot cars
and the manufacturers were thus practi-
cally deprived of the carload rate.
The railroads agreed at today's hearing
to reduce the minimum to 10000 pounds for
a carload lot and have given notice of a
change in their tariff to that effect. ...-

OPENING FOR TRADE.
Opportunities in Dutch East Indies
for American Exporters.

In a report to the Department of Com
merce and Labor Consul F. w. Cooling Of
Newcastle reports that there is one of the
best openings for American trade in the
Dutch East Indies
The Dutch colony Of Java had a popula-
ton of q. TAG 6SS In 1900 and an area Oh So
554 square miles Although a tropical coun-
try, it has no facilities for cold stor~ ge, to
supply which company has been formed
in Australia with capital of $3.50. 600. This
is to promote the export of Australian live
stock, frozen meat. pork. butter, etc.. as the
present supply of meat in Java is quite in
adequate-beef being retailed at from 20 to
30 cents per pound. Diseases among native
cattle having become prevalent, Java is
now more than ever depending on outside
sources for its meat supply.
In addition to Java. there are In the
Dutch East Indies other islands with a
population which, added to that already
stated, made up total of about 36,6OO,oD0
in 1890. In 1900 there were IN the posses
sionS 1922 Europeans principally Dutch.
537 900 Chinese, 1900 Arabs, and IL 90
other Orientals. Two years ago the ma
tives had 7,1T3,91S acres of land under cul-
tivation, while 1913 597 { res more, max
ing up a total f1S G93.51 acres. were titled
by the other classes Nowhere is the soil
put to a more intense Use or irrigation more
extensively practlced. Owing, however TO
the prevalence of disease the breeding of
stock is restricted and ii is In that direction
that Australia hopes to most profitably
meet deficiencies. Some items of last years
trade between Australia and Java are: Cat
tie, $5,935; flour, $4GI 20. butter, $l32, 10.
and chemicals and manures $56,935 Al
though Java is only about 1000 miles from
Newcastle, ten times as much butter is i'm
ported from Holland and five times as
much from Denmark. but America has cap
tured the leather trade. and a large portion
of the trade in flour and timed goods.
The distributing business is practically in
the hands of the Chinese. There is an ex-
cellent demand for good butter. cheese, ham
and bacon, jam, canned fruits biscuits.
condensed milk. leather betting. compressed
dairy cattle.

APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
Contributions Asked for the Sufferers
of China.

President Roosevelt has issued procla-
nation calling on the people of the United
States to contribute funds for the relief OF
millions of famine sufferers in China who
are on the verge of starvation. The President
says that he will ask Congress for author
ity to U.s. government transport vessels to
carry food to the famine-c cken region.
Thesproclamation follows:
ITO the people of the United States:
There is appalling famine in China.
Throughout district covering over 10000
square miles and supporting a population
of 100000, the crops have been destroyed
by floods. and millions of people are on
the verge of starvation; thousands of
dwellings have been destroyed and their in
mates are without homes. An urgent ap-
peal has been made for the assistance of
the United States
Our people have often. under similar con-
dftions of distress in other countries, re-
sponded generously to such appeals. Amid
our Astounding prosperity and in this holi-
day season of good will to man assuredly
we should do our part to aid the unfortu-
nate and relieve the distressed among the
people of China, to whom we have been
allied for so many years In friendship and
kindness.
Il shall ask Congress upon its next day of
session for authority to use our transport
vessels to carry flour and other food to the
famine stricken region.
Il recommend that contributions for the
purchase of such food and for other -appro-
pirate relief be sent to the American Ma
tional Red Cross, which will take charge
of the expenditures. Such contributions
may be made either through the local Red
Cross treasurerS or through the Depart
ment of State, or may be sent directly to
Mr.. Charles Hallam Keep. Red Cross treas
urer. United States Treasury Department.
