j. s. COURT WILL
CONVENE ON
NOV. Il
But the Grand Jury Will Be
Ernpaneled Five Days
Earlier.

It has definitely been decided that
the term of the United States court
is to convene on November II, and
subpoenas for witnesses and petit
jurors have been issued summoning
them TO appear in Pensacola on that
date.
While the court does not convene
until the 18th the grand jury will be
empaneled and commence its inves'
tigation of the various matters
brought before it ON the 7th, FIVE
days earlier, and it is possible that
the greater portion of the work OF
this body will be completed before
court convenes.
Judge Swayne will arrive in the
city early in November and will in
struct the grand jury as to its duties
when that body is empaneled.
1t is expected that the term will be
quite a lengthy one, inasmuch as
there are a number of important
cases to be heard, especially on the
criminal docket.

In an official report of the Bureau

following statistics, that should
forever silence the contention of
our Democratic friends that the

When these fgues and those OF

prices of food are compared, il is
seen that the retail prices of food
wers o. per cent. higher in 1905
thar in 1904, As the average wages
per bour increased more than the
retail prices of food, the purchasing
power of wsges increased.
In 1905 the purchasing power
