with the nuts on the vine is not sur passed by alfalfa. The poorest land will produce peanuts, while corn would hardly tassel. Just why it is not a more universal crop is not known, unless, perchance, it be that it's true value has never been realized.
 Several of our farmers have learned the importance of the crop and this year some fine reports have been made to this office.
 Mr. Cauthen, living west of town, had in small acreage and he says that he housed eight immense loads of fine feed and that his horses will stay fat until this is gone.
 A farmer living near Hearne makes good money raising and bal ing peanuts, and instead of his land getting poorer is growing richer with every crop.
 Every farmer should plant peanuts and save them for hay, It will be found profitable in every sense of the word. Ask the men who have tried the plan. Post-Item, Hunts vile. Tex.

WHAT WOULD BECOME OF
 THEM

The National Federation of Pee ple's Rule having for it's object the adoption of the initiative and refer endum as principal in the conduct of a government whereby the people would have direct voice in all leg islative matters, is making an active canvass to try and secure majority of the next Congress favorable to this principal.
 Candidates to Congress are being asked to pledge themselves to favor this idea, and many are doing so.
 We have not heard how Candidates Cravens and Tiles stand on this question, but we hope both of them favor it as the following brief queries and answers conveys an idea If the great benefits that would accrue: If the people could vote direct on issues what would become of Trust Kings? They would be shorn of their special privileges.
 What would become of the cor rupt Lobbyists? They would have to go into better business. How about the corporaticn-ruled Senate? The people would establish direct election of Senators.

BETRAYED BY FINGER PRINTS.
pr;souer nt Fort LenvenwortH Proves to be n Long so"Sht i"
 English Murderer.

Washington, Nov. 2.--A curious result of the recent adoption by the limited states army of the system oi identification by finger prints, Just reported to the war department was the discovery in the person of soldier at Fort Leayenworsh or British murderer for whom Scotland Yard authorities have been long LOOK ing. The man was prisoner m the United States penitentiary, serving fiye-vear sentence for military crime. In prison he was well be- haved and liked, but when the war dtn. following the general order to take the finger print record of al. soldiers, attempted to secure an I'm pression of this mans digits, he met with violent resistance and the as sisrant who tried to make the record was knocked down and roughly han dled. Suspecting that this resistance was based upon the mans previous knowledge of the use to which these finger prints might be put and thas his record was bad, the warden sent copies of the prints to the police au- thorities In a number of cities. With in a comparatively short time Scot land Yard reported that the man had commi{.e an atroc;ous murder in Morta; that he had been sentenced tc life imprisonment, and had escaped to America.

Biz Apple Brandy Output.

Deputy Revenue Collector True returned Wednesday morning from visit to the large brandy distillery in Bentouville. He says that in spite of the prolific apple crop the output is not going to be as large as anticipated be- cause of the cold weather which has prevented proper fermenta- tion of the apples. It was the intention to make 50,0o0 gallons of apple brandy but no more than 35,000 gallons will be made for the reason stated, but that will be 10, ,000 gallons more than the average. More could be made this season If the company would increas their vat capacity but they say the uncertainty of the apple crop would not justify the expense. Fort Smith Times.

 William Barnes, jr., former chair man of the executive committee of the republican state committee, said Wednesday concerning the result of the republican canvass by the com mittee:
 Gov. Higgins plurality above the Bronx was 100000. have not found anything to indicate loss from that vote in more than 30 out of the 3.O0O election districts. My prediction is that Mir. Hughes will come down to the Bronx with more than 100000 plurality

SMASHED HOTEL WINDOWS.
Striking Chauffeurs in New York Riot in Front of Waldorf Astoria
 Several Arrests.

New York, Nov. 1.--There was no change in the situation caused by the strike of the chauffeurs employed by the New York Transportation com pany. Michael O'Grady, striker was sentenced to six months in the city prison Wednesday for throwing a stone at a non union man. An other striker was fined s10 for calling a non-union man "scab." Half a dozen arrests were made during the day of participants in minor disor- ders. Electric cabs sent out by the company during the day were guarded by private detectives.
 A clash between the police and a hundred or more strikers and sympa- thizers occurred in front of the Wal dorf-Astoria late Tuesday night. Dur ing the fight bricks were thrown through the windows of the hotel din ing room and through the windows of jewelry store adjacent. William Jones, who was on the box of an cleo tric cab was badly cut on the head by a missile.
 The trouble began when Jones, ac- companieG by special policeman, at tempted to drive away with three fares who had entered his cab at the hotel. Cabmen stationed nearby stopped his machine and tried to pull him from the box. Several DO licemen came running to the scere and laid about them with their nig- sticks, but the crowd turned upon the officers who were getting much the worst of it when police reserves arrived. After a lively fight several strikers we~a arrested and the others dispersed

SALE OF NATIVE WINE.

War is being made upon establish ments for the sale of native wine at Morrilton because of recent tragic occurrences charged to the wine traffic as engaged in. The citizens of Morrilton have held a mass meet ing and started a petition to the county court to stop the sale of na- tive wines. A wine saloon in which the recent troubles are said to have originated, was wrecked by indig- nant citizens.
 The Morrilton Democrat throws some light on the situation when it says:
 ''Our people must take up this matter with the next legislature and get relief. The wine law was passed to encourage the growing of grapes and the sale of the wine at the vine yard, but the letter of the law is so broad, or has been so construed by our courts, that joints have sprung up, and in the mad scramble for dol lars the spirit of the law is lost sight of. We believe that if the law was intended, and those who have vine yards be allowed to make up their own grapes into wine and sell it at the vineyard. there would be no one injured and many benefited"
 The Democrat adds that the law must be so amended that the evils witnessed in and near Morrilton of late can be controlled, and it warns the growers of grapes that they must protect themselves in this mat ter or the entire law will be repealed and native wine placed under the ban.
 It is not recorded that in other counties the same experience has been undergone, but it goes without saying that the enlightened. law abiding citizenship of the state at large will readily sanction the reme- dial legislation desired by the good people of Morrilton to prevent a continuance or repitition of undesir- able conditions.

RUSSIAN ROBBERS EXECUTED.
Eight Identified St. Petersburg Custom House Bandits Con-
 demned to be Shot.

St. Petersburg, Nov. Flight of the identified participants in the rob bery, October 27, of Cashier Hermann of the custom house, according to the papers here were condemned to be transported by steamer to Cron- stadt for execution by a squad of soldiers. Several women have been arrested on suspicion of c0mplicity in the crime. including one who had in her possession large quantity of explosives, but no trace has been found of the mysterious woman who decamped with the cash. The police are now working on the theory that she was man in disguise
 It is learned that the robbers first intended to attack shipment of $1 ,250,- : 900 from the slate bank, October F, but they were forced to abandon their plan because. the authorities were warned and strengthened the police on duty in all the districts traversed by the treasure and also sent the money in installments, with doubled escorts, by various routes.
 On account of the danger of rob bery the state bank has refused to undertake shipments of money to the provinces of Astrakhan and Saratoff and parts of Kazan and Simbirsk The past fortnight's record of import ant robberies throughout the empire show that 203 crimes of that nature were committed and that the total booty secured, in addition to the St. Petersburg robbery of last week, was s152,0O0.

The Kansas City Star and Times are making strong fight for strong, substantial bridges on wagon roads, advocating stone structures instead of wood or even iron. A recent issue of the Times contains a picture of a dilapidated-patched-up wooden bridge and labels it "A suggestion to tin bridgers," indici ting that it was poor policy to construct such. We think that Judge Prickett has made a good start along this line in the concrete bridge across Prairie creek on the Dallas road, and that it will prove in the long run to be the cheapest bridge ever built in the county.

A FIuHT TO THE FINISH ON
 STANDARD OIL

Thepeople will find encouragement in the fact that the fight against the evils of Standard Oil is being kept up in every quarter. Yesterday charges of discrimination in favor of this trust were filed with the Inter state Commerce Commission. It was shown that the railroads have so favored Standard Oil as to shut out all competition in the markets west of Chicago. This has been done by making a rate of ninety-eight cents per 100 pounds from Pittsburg and Oil City to the Pacific coast while Standard Oils Whiting refin- cry is given rate of seventy-eight and one-half cents for practically the same haul.
 For couple of years now revela- tions of the colossal robbery of the public which this systim fosters have been coming to light thick and fast. So appalling were the amounts that people were loath to give the evil dence credence, but slowly the crimes of this trust have sunk deep into the minds of the residents of every city, town and hamlet in the United States, for there is scarcely a wage earner who is not compelled to pay his tribute to Mir. Rockefeller. Yet, while Standard Oil waxed pow erful until it believed itself more mighty than the government the people were slow to enact legislation until some defense was imperative.
 But it is long lane that has mo turning, and now the country is thor oughly aroused. The Sherman anti trust act had been a Federal statute sixteen years before it was invoked to prevent the railroad merger. All these years Mir. Rockefeller has Drazenly def1ed It's provisions and violated it with impunity. Finally an administration at Washington has been found that is preparing to see that Standard Oil shall be forced to pay some attention to the laws on the statute books. A dozen states are finding means to protect them selves from its rapacity. and courts in every section are being pressed to administer just punishment to the band of men who have pilfered mil. lions from the public to enrich Standard Oil. The battle has begun and it will not end short of the rout and proper punishment of the Rocke feller monopoly. Kansas City Star
