A Wheeling Dispatch Of the Gath
says:
One Of the largest deals ever con-
summated in West Virginia will I've
put through this morning in this city,
when the final details viii be COM
pleted. In certain part Of the state
strata Of manganese have been found,
the area covered being about forty-eight
acres, with an average depth OF i've
feet. The immensely OF the PROPOSE
ton cal. be realized when it Is stated
that assays show that manganese IL
worth at wholesale between 500 ana
$3.50 per ton, and the minimum mate
rial in the fln,l is placed a. 7,00O,O 900
tons. Several eastern capitalists have
been backing the experiments made,
and that it is one Of the greatest finds
ever made in the mineral line will soon
be proven.
This information was verified last
evening in an interview with DIR. Ran
dolph Hersey, of the South side. Dr.
Hersey, while not financially interest
eli in the company other than Its man
ager, has been in charge of the expert
ments, and has made several trips to
the east in the company's interest.
Manganese Is black mineral sub

per ton, and ID used in the hard ening
and density Of steel making. At pres

ing this material, the National Tube
Com pany, in Furnace B, at Benwood
AS will be remembered, when this fur
mace was first built, the result was
watched by capitalists and mill people
in general, as it was an experiment
with manganese, and since its INSTALL
alton, it has proved beyond doubt that
the use of the manganese is well worth
the expense and cost, and the only
handicap against its more general use
is that it is very scarce. and now with
this great field in West Virginia, the
outcome can hardly be realized. on ae-
count of it's immensely.
AS soon as the company is inco rpor-
led and the other details arranged,
this mineral will be developed. The
company will be formed with capital
of 81 100000. Plans have already been
made for the necessary equipment for
the developing of the find, the plant to
cost about $3.50, 900. The location OF the
property will be made public today,
after the completing of the details.
Samples taken from the m ines have
been brought to this city.

Organization OF The Farmers.

The rapid tendency toward general
organization of the farmers is one of
the most significant movement. in
American life. Even the great bank
ers' and manufacturers journals are
beginning TO give the matter attention.
"Proverbially the American farEer
has beena poor merchant; he has taken
what the trade was willing to give
him and always regarded himself as
subject to the openest kind af compe-
titIon as a seller SAID New York f.
nancial journal the other day. And it
went on to comment on the recent
change ia the farmers attitude-a
change which was reflected in the
press dispatches last week.
From Topeka, Kan, TUESDAY, came
reports of Farmers Cooperative Bus
mess Congress, with representatives
from many Western ard Southern
states. This meeting was the result of
Co operation between the National
Farmers Union and the Farmers Ele-
vator Association of Kansas, the main
object being to increase the price of
wheat. There is an idea worth cons sid
ering in this suggestion of President
Peckham, of the Kansas associations:
If we can sell our products to the
Southern associations at a higher price
than we receive from the middlemen
and can enable the Southern producers
to hold their produce, we will work
out plan whereby the price of farm
products will naturally work higher"
The next day at East st. Louis, the
National Society Of Equity held its
first annual convention, 500 delegates
from Illinois, Kentucky, New York,
/ North Carolina, Utah, Wisconsin,
OHIO and Indiana being present. This
society is organized in the peanut belt
of North Carolina. President Drayton
stated the main business object OF the
organization in these words:
"Our idea is to establish granaries
, in the grain country, cold-storage
! pants, nay barns anu places To store
all sorts of farm produce. II the mar
ket is low the society Will hold the
product until the demand forces up
profitable prices, when the goods may
be sold Ihe poor farmer who cannot
afford To hold his grain will be given
warehouse receipt, good for two
thirds the face value of the grain rep
resented. Progressive Farmer.

A Sacrifice TO Railroad Unsafesy.

Except that the accident cleimed
victem whose prominence makes his
tragic death more shocking to the Or
binary railroad man than years list
of the slain on American railroads, the
rcar-ead collision on the Southern
Railway presents no novel features.
1t is the old story ola train hating
to make trifiing repairs and bling
crashed into by closely following ex-
press running at high rate of speed.
The accident is identical in character
and cause with the rear-end collision
on the Pennsylvania near Eddington
N. j., on September 20 last. The train
dispatcher is claimed for falling to stop
the approaching express. Was the pre-
caution of sending fagman back
again omitted?
But the blame rests higher up than
with the train dispatcher. 1t rests in
the executive offices Of a road which,
since its incorporation under kindly
Virginia charter II years age, has been
run for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Wall
Street interests, with the safety and
convenience eff its passengers and the
accommodation Of shippers an after

ment has been devoted to the exploit

acquisition of compelling lines until
the mileage of the system has been
swollen to total of 1895 miles and a
capitalization of 1889, 000,0 600 in stock

When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, Of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
It, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are thee for just such operations
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed.
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must he used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia f. Pink

escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St

Miss Margret Merkley, Of 275 Sd

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that / had serious

operation rs my only hope. To this strongly

Serious feminine troubles are steadi-

before submitting to an operation
eyery woman should try Lydia Z.

General F. Victor Baushm.n.

After an illness dating back to Au-
gust 1896, Gen. Louis Victor Baugh-
man died at his country home, Poplar
Terrace, three miles west of Frederick
at 2.10 o'clock Saturday morning. At
the time of his death he was surround
ed by his wife; his only daughter, Mrs.
Charles H. Copley, and his son, Col.
E. Austin Bapghman. lie was 81 years
old.
''For the last year General Baugh-
mans health has gradually declined
His irst illness began with severe
cold, which he contracted at Brad
dock Heights in 1875, whaa he adj
dressed large Democratic gathering.
He was sick two months before his
condition showed improvement, and
it soon afterward became apparent
that the improvement was only tenn
porary. About two weeks ago, while
at his stables, he again contracted a
cold, and never afterward got out of
his room He suffered from acute neph-
ritis.
General Baughman, was well-known
here and had many friends in Berkc-
ley county where he has in past years
done good deal of campaigning.
He was born and raised in Frederick
county, Md, but when the great war
between the states came he drew his
sword in defense of the South, he was
captured and was in prison at Camp
Chase, Ohio, for nine months. For
years after the war he was editor Of
the Frederick Citizen, he ran for Con-
gress in 1896 but was defeated. In 1887
he was elected Comptroller Of the state
of Maryland and was again reelected
IN 1856. He was always a warm friend
| and strong supporter of the late SEN
ator Arthur P. German and was al
ways in the thickest Of the fight doing
battle for the Democratic party. He
was chairman of the Maryland Com
mission Of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition 1903 A and was Inspector
General on the Gov, Smiths staff
1904.

The incomes of the rulers OF the var
ious nations Of the earth are widely
different, and extremely difficult to
estimate, owing to the many sources
from which the revenues are drawn and
the different ways of distributing these
immense sums.
Nicholas III. is the richest monarch
in the world, if not the richest that
ever lived. In his case the properties
of the crown actually belong to him.
The Crown domains include more
than million square miles of cultl-
waited lands and improved forest, as
well as several Siberian mines. The
total annual revenue is about $500 900,
600. Opt of this, however, he must
bear all the expenses of the lands and
mines, as well as of his great estates,
80 il would seem that he has none too
much.
King Edward VII. receives G470,-
600, or nearly $2,sO0,0O0, but OF this
only $3.50, 900 goes into the private
purse of the king. Salaries, pensio ms,
household expenses, repairs to the
royal residences, charity and rewards
each receive stipulated sum.
William II. as German Emperor,
has only 2,6OO,OOO marks, or about
500, 900 voted to him by the Reichstag,
and even this is not all his. Fortunate-
Iy, he receives a salary ~ King OF
Prussia that is more in keeping with
his needs, the amount being nearly 49,
OOO, 600 marks, or a little less than 3d.
10000. He has great estates and
many resources at his disposal, which
makes it difficult to estimate the
amount of his income.
Emperor Franz Josef 1, of Austria,is
also King of Hungary, and thus, like
William Of Germany, draws salary
from two countries, which is very
profitable thing for monarch To do if
he con eniently can. The amount
from each, in his case, is nearly 81,
800, 900.
Victor Emanuel Ii. of Italy, has an
annual stipend of Ii, 100000 lire, which
amounts toabout 50 600, 900, but out of
this allowance are paid to the King $
mother and to the Duke of Aosta, so he
is left with barely enough to see him
through.
Alfonso XIII, of Spain has an al
lowance of I 1000 900 pesetas, or about
s., 430 GOO. Provisionis made for mem
bers of the royal family outside of this,
so that this sum is practically all his
own to spend as he pleases.
Leopold II. of Belgium, receives 81
SOC, 900 francs, which is about S700,0
out of which $400 900 must be paid to
the heir p1esumptive Leopold is said
to have keen business instincts, which
have enabled him to augment the sal
AIRY paid to him by the state and to
acquire the amounts necessary to graft
fy his luxurious tastes.
Abdul Hamid Ii. The Sultan OF
Turkey, has civil list variously esti-
mated at from so 600, 600 to SIC, 0O0,0O0,
which is surely none to much for a
man with the family he has. In ad-
dition to this, he receives large sums
from the crown lands.
The President of France receives a
salary of 800, 900 francs, which is a lit
tie more than S120. 900, and also an adj
ditional allowance for expenses of the
same amount, making total OF con-
siderably over 1924 600.
The President Of the United States
receives $780, 900 which is the smallest
amount paid by any power to ito chief.
