PRICE TALKS.

X telegram of interest to cotton Cotte1 exchange a day OF so ago from Thedore H. Price, the great cot ton speculator, It reads as follows:
 There seems to have been a con- siderable long interest in cotton held for San Francisco account and this is being closed out From my stand point tis liquidation is not to be re eretted. There is also theory that because l am president of the Eagle Fire Insurance company and have a large investment in the company the fire loss which the company will in- cur in San Francisco will force me to liquidate my market interests Again it is to laugh, as even if the whole of San Francisco burns up the company will not lose a hundred thousand dollars. l am told that de sirable cotton in Liverpool Of what ever grade, is practically selling at seven pence pound. Under these conditions any serious decline in the market is unlikely.

 to my position, got my wire and wait. cd for them to strike the platform. After did the job the getaway was easy
 The "joba was the blowing up of nineteen nenllnion men, thirteen of whom were torn limb from limb and scattered to the four winds and six of whom were crippled for life.
 When I got back to the camp" or chard continued, "NeYille WAS asleep and turned ill. The next morning we started out early and trayclcd all day without meeting anybody Along about night we passed q cabin, where q man stood in the door reading 6 newspaper.
 "9M When did you leave the Creek? be asked. Yesterday afternoon, 3 o'clock, l answered. Then you don't know the newsr lie said cXcitedly. He read us the account. and Neville turned to me with q queer look You didn't hear anything of this when you went back for your gun, did you?' he asked. Ger i tainly not, answered. but l knew then that he suspected me
 They went OH to Denver and then to Cody, where apparently they did not find things quite as they had antici pated. Orchard found it cXpedicnt to keep on the move and went into Mon tana. After the Independence excite ment had subsided Haywood sent for him and on his arrival in Denver in- formed him that Neville had been back in Denver and knew too much. Ne vile had "gone broke" in Wyoming and, with lis boy, had returned and walked boldly into the office of the federation. q want some money" he said meanngly, and he got it.
 Leaving the boy with the mother in Cripple Creek, Neville went on to Gold field, Nev.. q marked man. He lived a year, but under the constant surveil- lance of the federation. About three months ago he died of poisoning, the papers said.
 Penbody's Charmed life.
 Its not as easy to get a man as you'd think" said Orchard author itatvely. He tried Governor Pea body so many times that he came to believe that some sort of providence was guarding him. Orchard and man known by the name of Simpkins were on this "job" for q long time Eventually they got bomb down just off the walk in front of the Peabody house, and they spent days trying to get the governor. One time Orchard stood with his hand on the wire, with Simpkins waiting across the street to give him the signal. Just as the gov ernor stepped within the radius of the internal machine coal wagon backed up few doors away, with it's wheels on the Wire
 Once, Orchard says, he saw Govern or Peabody carelessly sitting in line with window reading, the room brightly lighted and the shades not drawn. Immediately he went for a boab with the idea of placing it on the window sill. It was a time fuse bomb, with clock attachment. All 1t needed was to be hooked together after it was in position. He kept it in a dress suit case in his hotel, and as he was going out of the room with 1t an insurance man came in. Where is that clock!" he asked, looking about the room. Or chard said he had no clock, but the man insisted he heard one ticking Moreover. he stayed so long that alto gether his visit put that particular plan ont pf com mi S~iOn

the remedy which he proposes for ex' isting evils:
 Let the laws compel every corpora tion to limit it's advertised capital to the actual value of it's assets. Let the state which for price will sell eorporation a charter to go freeboot- ing for the savings of the humble all ever the country be denied the right to issue such charters. The bandits and tresspassers must go. Let public sworn statements be statements of facts, not of juggled figures. Let the company tell the truth from beginning from end to end, and with the repar- tjcipation of the citizens in the cor porate domain, creating confidence that at least deliberate fraud has been eliminated, then I believe the evils of the present corporation system will disappear.

Rev. Winburne Speaks.

Rev. H. l.. Winburne of Arkadel- phia was the speaker at the mems meeting at the Y. M. c. A. Sunday. His subject was Brotherhood" and he handled it in a masterly manner, making an address that was highly ap- preciated by all who heard it. Rev. Winburne has been engaged to deliver another address at the meeting next Sunday, and there is no doubt that a good crowd will be present, after hearing him Sunday.
 The Bible class held it's regular meeting at , o'clock, but the fash light picture of the class, which was to have been taken, was postponed on account of thf absence of some of the members. After the study hour a lunch was served and a short time spent in general sociability.

WHAT TWO NEWSPAPERS DID.

There is none is this progressive age who doubts Che absolute necessity of reading the newspapers, especially the advertisements. An exhange gives the following proofs in two cases, says the Austin News-Tribune.
 "A gentleman once said to re- porter: never took paper that didn't pay me more than I paid for it. Ore time an old friend of mine started a paper away down South and sent a copy to me and I subscribed just to encourage him, and after while it published a notice of an order to sell a lot at public auction. So inquired about the lot and told friend to run it up to $50 He bid off the lot for $5S and sold it in less than month for s100, so made S62 clear by taking that paper. My father told me that when he was young man he saw a notice in a paper that school teacher was wanted away off in a distant country and he went and got the sit nation, and little girl was sent to him and after a while she grew up sweet and beautiful and he married her. Now, if he had not taken that paper what do you suppose would have become of me? I would have been some other fellow or may be I would not have been at all."

lIDeE GROsscUP ON CORPORA
 TlONS.

Judge Peter s. Grosscup of Chlca- 20 says the Hartford Courant, whose addresses and published articles on corporations have attracted much at- tention. speaking at New Rochelle re- gently, said that corporations had got into the supect class. "They must be got back into the transformation state again. back to sharing in them by the individual man. The citizenship of the country must be invited back into preprietorship in them.' Judge Grosscup does not appear to have eX- plained to his hearers just how they can get back where they belong and successfully assert their proprietary interest in existing corporations, but he talked very clearly of the way present conditions came to exist. He explained that we took care that our public lands should become the prop erty of the people, and that in 1S40 we began to legislate in such a way that today no great estate in land exists. With other forms of property. with the things that now form the basis of great corporations, it has been different. "If when the trans formation was taking place." he said, "by which individual shopkeepers were giving place to the great con- cerns there had been carried with it the propretorship and cooperation of the men whose places were taken neither outcry nor causes for it would exist This is clear, and in gen eral way, it goes pretty close to the root of the matter.
 The corporation domain was a law less place, the judge explained, "as lawless as were the frontier towns before a United States marshal was put in charge He said that in any state in the Union except Massachu- setts. and possibly New York, five men could sit around a table, put Sl ir the center. organize corporation calling for a million dollars worth Of capital, and, after sending a certificate of incorporation to the secretary Of state, go home with the dollar back in their pockets and a million-dOllar corporation ready to launch.

The records in Chicago show that there are 1S,O0O wives deserted in that city. Large families and small in. comes is the reason given by experts for this condition of affairs. Roose- velt's race suicide talk is all very well for Fifth avenue, but the fact is that in the poorer quarters in every great city there are too mony births. A recent writer summarized the situa- tion very aptly when he said: we are now suffering from too much pros perity for the rich,. and too much pos terity for the poor''

Fighting Requisirion

Constable Frank Stewart. who went to Memphis Friday night after Char. les Fields, who had said that he would return to Pine Bluff to stand trial on the charge of embezzlement made again him by the union of which he was formerly an officer, returned Saturday night without his prisoner. The man had employed a lawyer after being arrested by the Memphis all. thorities, and had decided not to re- turn without writ of requisition MT. Stewart therefore returned for the writ, which had been secured from Governor. Davis by Chief of Police Stewart Saturday. and left again Sun. day.
 It was necessary for Constable Stewart to go to Nashville to present the writ issued by Governor Davis to the governor of Tennessee. and he ex- pected to get back to Memphis today. The prisoner has instituted habeas corpus proceedings through his attor-, ney, and the trial will be held Tues day afternoon. If he is. taken from the custody of the Memphis police on those grounds MT. Stewart will be there to re-arrest him.

There's a big difference between what a baby wants and what he needs. Deny him the one, give him the other. Most babies need Scott's Emulsion tits the right thing for a baby. It contains a lot of strength building qualities that their food may not contain. After a while they get to want it. Why? Because it makes them comfortable. Those dimples and round cheeks mean health and*ease. Scott's sEmulsion makes children, easy; keeps them so, ,teo.
