The public is always likely to believe the
worst about a corporation. and when mar
testifes that a coal corporation hxes the
selling price OF its product the public takes
II for granted he is telling the truth. As

I'VE have better evidence of the exist

said he did not care to go into the de-

He said he has a large amount of evi-
dence that was not touched on at the hear

firm the theory there is an illegal COM

taken up before the grand jury when it

That the Union Pacific Railroad com

hands of the courts and would be de-
cided there. Since the admission of John

the fact TO congress and some action will

Showing or Bank Statement and Shaw's statement That He Would stand Pat Had But

New York, Nov. l0.--Up to within fifteen minutes of the close of today's session, the fact of the stock market of the bank statement or by Secretary Shaw's announcement that he had no intention unless conditions materially posits with the banks. or of redeeming government bonds to mature next year. Just in the final dealings there was some selling of stocks wnich weak closing. The highest prices of the day were made some time after the bank statement was published? It's complexion had been accurately inti- time to afford opportunity for opera tions in the market In anticipation of the weak showing. The recovery af- forwards seemed to be due to rebuying before the statement appeared. No intelligIble explanation is to be had re- garding the statement. and 1t is gem orally assumed to be due to arbitrary tions in and out of the clearing house association. The further loan contrac-a tsnn annot be said to have surprised Wall street, in view of the similar ex- perience with the two preceding state ments while large transfers of loans from London to this market were go- ing on. It Is reported that some loans have been placed in New York for ac- count of Interior banks during the week. but the borrowing reported to. have taken place by international commission houses would far exceed any possible effect by lending of in- terior banks The decrease in cash of sS.S31. 800 compares with the estimates furnished yesterday by the banks of about $3.000.000. The deficit of sl,- 514,125 compares with a deficit on Mo- vember Il last year, of $2,42S.e0O. On the Monday following last year call money went to 25 per cent at the stock exchange and there was considerable liQuidation. Prompt relief resulted from the. liquidation and from the offering of foreign and interior funds attracted by the high rate. The move ment Of currency also turned from the interior in favor of New York with large recuperation of cash holdings of the banks promptly following The ex- changes moved strongly in favor of London today at all points. including New York.

ideal Telephone System.

Farm telephones are almost a ne- cessity nowadays-certainly they are A great convenience-and the farm that ia not equipped with telephone service is not up with the times. Ig- norance of the details of telephone construction deters many people from Installing a telephone system and 1t is to throw some light on the dark places that we print the following let ter of a correspondent of The Nebras- ka Farmer:
 With your permission, will state in regard to rural telephones in our coun- ty (Pierce.) There are now ten lines buiIt from different directions to Pierce, the county seat All these lines were built by the farmers, who organ ized into a company. That is, each pany elected their officers, president, secretary and treasurer, also three trustees, who have the line in charge after 1t is built. Our company has now fourteen stockholders. Fifteen members is the limit for one company, which makes q good working line. There Is one central station at Pierce, where all farm lines are connected, and also with the long distance com many and city exchange. Each mem ber pays, on all farm lines, to this central office, two dollars and seven ty-0V0 cents per year, IoF HlaAlnB con- nections over any of these farm lines, but for connections over the long dis tance line the same rate is charged as for any other party, according to time and distance.
 Our line Is eight miles in length. which cost each of the fourteen mem bers thirty eight dollars and sixty seven cents, or sixty seven dollars and and sixty seven cents per mile, with out the leadoffs Clines from roads to dwellings), which each member paid for extra, according to the distance of his leadoff. This arrangements has given good satisfaction so far, and Is a long way ahead of paying $1.50 per month, as any member can converse with any other member on any one of these rural lines, or any one of the city, for the small sum of $2.75 per year. All our farm lines were built by the farmers themselves, that is, we hauled the material and set the poles, and strung the wires along the line, but hired a good lineman for climb ing the poles and fastening the wires to the insulators with the proper ten sion. And he also installed the phones properly. For this service we paid him twenty-five cents per hour. We procured a franchise from the county commissioners for constructing the line along the highway. We used twenty-foot poles for line and twenty five foot poles for road crossings.

news and UieWs 5cr Farmers


ing of wheat can wait until oats are in the ground. While the sandy sorts of the central and southern parts of Alabama are not very we'll adapted to wheat as grain crop, yet on farms there Is land with enough clay to pro- duce a fair crop of wheat after being properly supplied with vegetable mat ter and fertilizer and after thorough preparation. Of course 1t is not ad- vocated that farmers in e locality where wheat cannot be ground utilize wheat for grain. But in any locality wheat can be used for hay. Cut in the milk or early dough stage. or even a little earlier if threatened by rust, it makes most satisfactory hay, which is available early in May when many farmers Cor their neighbors), are pay ing twenty dollars per ton for timo- thy hay. Fot hay wheat should be sown thick, at least one and one-half bushels per acre. Sowing of wheat may occur at any date between the middle of October and the tenth of December the earlier sowings yielding much better. Of course a beardless variety should be selected for hay, such as Blue steam or Purple Straw, May Fultz. or Surrell. In the prairie region Johnson grass meadows that need rebrealking might be sown In Mo- Vember in wheat for hay.
 The sowing of rye is still in order for some weeks yet, the object being either pasture or seed for resowing. If one cares to sow barley for pasture 1t should be done at once, for barley is not so hardy as wheat or rye.

Henry B. Irving. who is now play ing in this country, was not educated for the stage, but while studying law often took part in amateur theatricals On one occasion he played Hamlet and his father saw the performance. Later the young man asked his parent what he thought of this, that and the other amateur and Sir Henry living invari- ably answered: Very good, indeed. " They had discussed every one of the performers except young Irving him- self. The star of the performance at last found enough courage to stam- mer: But, father-what did you think of-the rest of the cast?' Sir Henry looked blandly at his son and then remarked dryly: Are you sure that you want to be an actor, my son?"
