A prospect may be worth many
times more than its original cost,
but it is not developed mine.
Dividends are not paid out of
prospects, but goodly sum has to
be placed in prospect before it can
be placed on a dividend paying bust
ness. The question merely resolves
itself into this: If the properties
cannot be financed within them
selves. is it not the part of wisdom
to invite capital TO operate them,
either in whole or on a percentage
basis? There are scores of properties
in the district that are too good to

POTOSI.
The candidates who are out vote
hunting or in other words out try
ing to get votes, are indeed numer-
Gus; so much so that some of the
voters are taking to the woods, or
have gone on camping and fish
ing expedition to evade 'em. It's
alright for boys to go out and make
a vote whenever you can, but do
it honestly. Don't do the knock
ing act, It's poor policy and the can
didate who resorts to such under
handed methods is looked upon
with suspicion. One candidate is
credited with having gone in to
some OF our neighboring towns and
reported that one of his opponents
had laid down and was out of the
race. 1t may be a mistake. We
hope so. Because it would result
IN no advantage to the candidate

again postponed in the circuit coudt
yesterday morning owing to the non
appearance of the two parties. The
case in itself and the domestic troub-

attention of the people of the city,
and owing TO the fact that after each
time Mrs. Kelley has applied for di
vorce, the couple have become recon
ciled for the time being, the
cases have been dismissed only to
bob mp again in the course of a few
weeks. On one instance Mrs. Kelley
gained quite notoriety by pleading
her own case in the circuit court and
asking that the divorce proceedings
be dropped.
Mrs. Kelley asks for legal separa-
of cruel and inhuman treatment and
nabitual drunkenness.
In addition to their divorce case
which attracted the attention of the

KANSAS AGAINST PACKERS
FORMULATE PLANS TO OPPOSE
PACKING COMPANIES.
Farmers Will Cure Own Meat and Let
Agent Sell Their
Stock.

Topeka, Kan, Oct 24.-Plans for op-
posing the packing companies and the
fruit commission dealers were discus
sed at the meeting of the Farmers
National Cooperative Congress.
Two schemes to be used to break the
force of the packing trust were de-
cided upon and probably will be put in
to execution. One is that the members
of the congress will try to cure the ma
jority of the meat which they use
themselves, and will also cure meats
for the markets. The other plan will
be to have an agent in each county
to handle all the stock Of the members
and ship to another agent at the
market who will sell direct to the pack
ing house.
There is no intention to build CO.
operative packing house.
Another grievance which the farmers
have is against the fruit commission
dealers, and an effort will be made to
organize the union in fruit-growing sec.
tions.

Indianapolis, Ind.-In attempting to

seen at circuses and on the vaudeville
stage, William Finley sustained inju-
ries this afternoon that will probably
prove fatal.
Finley and several others went to a
barn where they gave an amateur vau-
deville performance. Finley's stunt
came last on the programme. 1t was
announced by the master of ceremo-
nies that he would do startling fire.
eating turn.
When it came to his time Finley filled
his mouth from can he thought was
coal oil, but it was gasoline. When he
blew it out and held match in front of
his mouth there was an explosion that
came near ending his career right then
and there. He was in a semi conscious
condition when picked up. He is
thought to have swallowed enough of
the fiery fluid to kill him. His face
and neck were terribly burned.

ACTIVE FOR The SEASON
5RADsTREETs' DESCRIPTION OF
THE CONDITION OF TRADE.
HIGHER PRICES FOR COTTON
Reports of Labor Scarcity Are Still
Well Nigh UniversaI-Larae
Sales of Wool.

New York, Oct. -Bradstreets
says: Trade is unprecedentedly &C
tive for the season. Retail trade has
broadened out with consequent in
crease of the recorder demand from job
bers, and there is rather more doing
on spring account. Higher prices for
cotton have helped southern trade, in
ducing freer marketing and enlarging
country trade and collections. Good
reports also come from the central
west and Atlantic coast points, where
weather conditions have improved.
Something like an unfavorable cross
current is visible in the northwest,
where car congestion and oyerflowing
country elevators are complained Of
as affecting market of wheat.
Unabated Activity.
Reports from some leading indus
tries are of unabated activity. Higher
premiums are being paid for what 1T
tie spot iron can be obtained; rails are
more active and imports Of foreign pig
iron are increasing. Reports of la
Dor scarcity are still well nigh uni
versal, and the movement of the cot
ton crop, the shipments of lumber, the
outputs of coal and the deliveries or
various mills are still restricted from
this cause, or by reason of inadequate
car supply. Voluntary wage increases
are reported in numerous lines, but
agitations for higher compensation are
numerous among railway employees.
Storms Benefit Shoe Men.
Recent stormy weather has helped
trade in shoes and rubber footwear
at the west, but fall and winter shoe
trade is yet hardly as good as hoped
for.

SEG'Y ROOT TO RETIRE
INTERVENTION IN CUBA SAID TO
BE REASON.
Secretary Does Not Agree With Presl-
dents Action in In
tervening.

Washington, Oct 25.-Strong init.
nations have been given that Secre-
tary Root will retire from the Cabinet
In the near future. There has not
been a disagreement between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his Secretary OF
State, but it Is understood that Secre-
tary Root does not fully agree with
the action of the President in inter.
vening in Cuba.
Reasons for the proposed retirement
of Secretary Root are declared to be
political. When he returned to the
Cabinet as Secretary of State it was
the understanding that the Influence
of the administration would be thrown
to Secretary Root for his nomination
as the Republican candidate for the
presidency.
Developments of the last few
months indicate clearly to the minds
of the most intimate friends of Prest.
dent Roosevelt, Notwithstanding his
repeated assurance that he will not
be candidate, that he will again seek
to become the standard bearer of his
party.
This practical decision on the part
of the President has made it clear to
Secretary Root that he has nothing to
gain by remaining in the Cabinet anj
that he will retire and resume the
practice of law.

WHITE MAN SHOT BY NEGRO
Posse Pursuing Murderer and Lynch
ing May Result.

Belden, Miss.-Without a word OF
warning and for reasons unknown, Bob
Avery, negro, shot and instantly kill
ed E Vinson, prosperous farmer of
this section last Saturday night. The
negro Immediately escaped and posse
is in pursuit. If the negro is appre-
hended it is feared he will be lynched.
Vinson was seated in barber's chair
and was being shaved when the negro
entered. Before q word was spoken
and without any apparent warning, the
negro fired the contents of double
barreled shotgun into Wilson'S body.
The wounded man fell from the chair
and expired almost instantly, the charge
passing through the heart. The negro
Immediately fed from the barber shop
and is now at large.
Feeling at Belden is at high pitch.
A large posse of citizens has been or
ganized and is securing the neigh
borhood for the fugitive. If he is cap
tured it is feared he win be uncere-
moniously strung up.
No one in Belden can say how the
trouble arose. Avery and Vinson may
have had words at time prior to the
killing, but no one in this neighborhood
ever heard OF any trouble between them.
