This great convention on January
21th, 1905. declared that cotton was
worth TO the consuming world 10 cen-
times or more per pound.
While this convention was in ses-
sion, Theodore Price, that insolent en-
eny OF the Southern farmer. scattered
circulars through the building saying
that four cents per pound was all our
cotton was worth.
From the day Of that convention,
notwithstanding the fact that we had
a 14,000,0G0 bale crop on hand, the
price OF cotton began TO 60 up. Il

UNCOMFoRTABLY GRATEFUL.

That is an interesting question rais- ed by Judge Blackburn, of the Circuit court of the County of Albermarle, Vir- ginia. In a case recently tried before him the jury returned a verdict in fav- or of Captain John Bunting, confirming his title to valuable tract of land on Assateague Island, especially valuable because of it's oyster planting facilities. Immediately on the discharge of the jury the delighted old oyster mariner produced his pocKetbook, from it ex- tracted twelve gold pieces. each of the value of $5, and to each of the jurors he handed one of the pieces, meeting with only two refusals.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the en- tire transaction was in the open, in the yard surrounding the Temple of Justice, with all the county looking on, and notwithstanding the payment of the coin was after instead of before the jury had passed on the merits of the claim of the plaintiff and the sound ness of the captains title, Judge Black burn promptly ordered the arrest of the old mariner and of the ten jurors, Cap- tain Bunting protests that he meant nothing by the giving, and the ten in- sst that they meant nothing by the taking. The captain declares that the gift was merely an appreciatiye recog- nition of the work of the jury, made in tie exuberance of his heart, and the ten avow that they had no other pur- pose in accepting than to show an ap- preciation of the appreciation of their labors by the captain.
 Of course the Captains action and the action of the members of the jury who took his gold don't look very we'll but has he done anything illegal? He didn't bribe the jurors, and he didn't mean to show any contempt of court.

TIE SCOOP OF SCOOPS.

All over this country busy and sharp reporters are ever on the lookout for
 'exclusives,' scoops" beats" and whatever is the slang for getting in- portant news first. Some great feats are done ill that line, as we in New Haven have lately had a chance to see Some of the scoops" and things achieved here during the recent excitement were astonishing, and ought to have brought fame to those who achieved them We hope they did, for merit deserves all it ever gets, and usually much more. But whatever fame has been won here in that way is cast into the shade by the exploit of western reporter, who is wasting his time and talents in scoring scoops for the Concordia Kansan. This exploit is modesIly noticed by the Kansan tiaus: Bill Funk who caught cold last Tuesday, as announced exclu- siyely in this paper, is no better It will be hard to beat that It will stand for some time as the very scoop
 of scoops. We know of nothing with
 which to compare it, and the only thing that comes within hailing distance
 Of it is the triumpa of a New Haven re-
 porter and paper, which few years
 ago, thrilled us all by exclusively an
 nouncing that Miss Blank spent few
 hours at savin Rock yesterday after

 Squeeze the juice of two fresh lem

 eases of diarrahoea and one teaspoon full can be taken every 15 minutes. To
 cure heartburn take half a glass of cold water to which has been added half a teaspoonful of baking soda and the juice of a lemon. Drink while effervescing.
 In the sick room the juice forms a cool and refreshing drink, which is invaluable as a beverage in infamma- tory and febrile diseases, for like
 quinine, it has the property of bringing
 down the temperature of a fever stricken patient.

a judicial code, hot from the press, and
 herewith the abolition of foreigners
 extra-territorial rights; they would
 have China build her own railways,
 open her own mines, and exclude all
 foreign influences; and their views are
 so cIamorous, their effect on the ignor-
 ant ruling class so marked, that they undoubtedly dominate the existing situ- Iation in no small degree. Their opin-
 ions are to be met on all sides, reflect
 ed in the press, in Imperial edicts, and
 in the attitude of provincial officials.
 Pekin regards the doings of Young China with complacency, as it did those
 of the Boxers; 1t accepts such results
 as the American boycott and the eyolu- ton of the patriotic orator with some lthing more than tolerance, and, ex- cepting Yuan-Shih-k kai, he adds, there i is probably no statesman in the coun- | try with courage and wisdom sufficient to oppose the prevailing tendencies. Simultaneously, the more intelligent
 Chinese officials are inclined to believe
 that, whatever it's results, the policy of
 Young China may be encouraged with limpCnity, as the Anglo Japanese Alli-
 ance guarantees China against parti- ition. In conclusion, he remarks that
 the immediate outlook is unpromising,
 but that the present mood is likely to
 subslde also as quickly as 1t has arisen.

THE AGITATION IN CHINA

A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Shanghai some weeks ago on the agitation prevailing in China, takes much the same view of the situ- ation in that country as ex-Minister Wu Ting Fang did the other day. He says that the most disturbing element consists of the Chinese students re- turned from Harvard or Tokio with their democratic ideas They advocate measures utterly impractieable in the absence of systematic education and radically improved administration. They demand he says, a Constitution, to be promulgated at months notice;

MIR. wFL1mAN,s LARGE IDEA.

There are many ideas floating around
 in these days, and some of them are good big ones. For instance, the idea
 of William c. Wellman, president of
 the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
 Butchers Association of America. MT.
 Wellman believes that meat can be sold
 to the consumer at an average of six
 cents pound less than beef trust
 prices, and that the way to bring this reduction about is for the farmers to establish slaughter houses in the West, and for the American Federation of
 Labor to open 1000 or more markets in
 New York for the sale of the finished product. Promises of subscription to the stock of the new concern to the amount of $2,00O,000 or more have been received, all being from men who pro- pose to actually engage in the business. MT. Wellman has not yet secured con- tracts from the railroads for carrying the beef. but is confident that public
 opinion will compel the interstate conn
 -nerce commission to protect the com
 pany from unjust determinations. It is expected that the labor unions will furnish the nucleus of the trade, shops being established in the residence dis tricts of working people, and that ul- timately the business will be extended to Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and the other big cities.
 Perhaps the price of beef can't be re- duced six cents pound, and perhaps if it could be the farmers wouldn't
 want it to be so reduced. They might like three of the six for themselves. MT Wellmans idea has it's merits, but if it works we'll those who have studied cooperative work in this country will be surprised,

Golfers Weekly makes the following illuminating remark: Life insurance troubles began almost exactly a year ago. The trivial occasion which set off the explosion was a fancy dress ball in February of 1905. What contrast! Rejane, dancing, costumes, spectacu- lar fun and wealth, the aggressive sur plusage of prosperity And now? The contrast is almost too dramatic The priest with his sacrament hurries to one president, whose death is hastened by humiliation. Another lies, broken in constitution, in a sanitarium. An other sells his goods and lands, prepar- ing for exile. The giver of this ball is in voluntary exile. Several secondary officers are in involuntary exile. And So ironicaI is Heaven-what started the mighty housekeeping was social and not business error. Here is Fate's se- quence: Hyde's ball; then Alexander's letter, very quotable, calling attention to Hyde's love of limelight, of display, of flattery, to manner of life not con ducive to public confidence, Then fol- lowed the contest between Hyde and Alexander, and the cat was out and jumping,

A Canadian Pacific railroad official says that of the 100000 Americans now in Canada about half have gone there within the last ten years They went from Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, North and South Da- kota and Washington, where they sold their farms for from $50 to $100 an acre. and settled in the Canadian West, where they bought good land for from s to $25 an acre or got it free under the homestead laws. It is estimated that this year over 75,O0O Americans will go to Canada, where they will find practically the same conditions as they are now accustomed to.

PALISADES UNIQUE BANKING LAW
A Case of Unrequited Love and
a Safe Deposit

II is said that ever in Palisede true
love does not always receive its just re-
ward. A case was mp before Justice
Tom Jewell this week that is siid to
have created considerable stir among
Palisade society living on the River. side
of-the-town. MI. William Grow (rono-
pih Bill swore out a warrant for the
arrest Of Miss May Rice ON a charge of
grand larceny, and the young lady, who
was on her way East, was arrested on
the train at Wells and brought back
{ Palisade to meet the charge. Mr..
Grow had Attorney Gedney come down
from Elko to prosecute the lady, and
Attorney Otto Williams vas employed
to look after the defendants interests.
Mr.. Grow is said to have stated that
something more than q platonic affec.
ton had existed for several months be-
tween Miss Rice and himself, and as
the banking facilities of Palisade were
limited, he had used the lady's trunk as
a safe deposit for his hard-earned
savings. He stated to the Court that he
had recently put a little over $500 in
this trunk. and after locking it had
given the key to Miss Rice. Without
warning the lady had taken herself and
trunk to the depot and departed for the
East.
Although Miss Rice denied ON the
stand that the money in the trunk be-
longed to Mr.. Grow /; that Mr.. Grow
had frequently given her money out
right, and not for safe keeping; and
that he was trying to detain her in
Palisade by using the law in an unfair
way. Justice Jewell evidently believed
! Mr.. Crows statement about using the
lady's trunk for a safe deposit vault.
for he held Miss Rice to appear before
the next grand jury and placed her
bonds at $500.
Constable Tom Dixon brought Miss
Rice to Eureka by Wednesdays train,
but as she furnished her bond soon after
reaching town she was not put in Jail.
II the facts in this case are as above
stated. the people of Palisade will never
need a bank in which to place their
money for safe keeping-at least while
Justice Jewell presides.
