Society ';ii|'tI Organized il !, d

The farmers and business men Of
this city and vicinity met on Tuesday
afternoon and organized an American
Society Of Equity. The meeting was
advertised to be held in the Opera
House but was adjourned to the Coun-
Gil room. The organization was per-
fected under the guidance OF O. g..
Major, who had been commissioned
for that purpose by the leaders in the
movement. Informal speeches were
made by o. G. Major and George
Murray Of ,Sherbrooke and q good
many questions were asked and an
swered regarding the society and its
purposes. Some thirty-fve signifed
their desire to join and took part in
the election OF officers. The officers
elected are as follows:
President-Hugo Gunkle.
Vice-President-Henry Patten.
Secretary-Jos. Heille.
Treasurer Gene Tomlinson.
A committee of three, consisting of
Peter Shellmon, w. A. Eggart and
Tom Thompson, was appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws for
the local organization.
The membership fee in the society is
So for the first year and $l.2O for the
succeeding years. With membership
goes a subscription to the official or
gan of the society, The Up-to-Date
Farmer. This paper is weekly and
besides giving the transactions OF the
society, publishes prices of farm pro-
ducts.
Literature of the society was rather
scarce but such as had been sent was
distributed.
Mr.. Major has given us some facts
in regard to the society in addition to
those given in the article recently
published in the Pioneer. The society
already has membership of over
700, 900 and additions are being made
at the rate OF l,3oO day. AS an ex-
ample of what the society has done,
last year they controlled the price OF
tobacco and peanuts, raising the price
of the raw tobacco from the former
amount, three cents, to nine. This
year an attempt will be made to regu-
late the price of wheat. It is not de-
sired to raise the price unduly but
only to bring it up to an equitable
figure. That the need for money is
not a total bar to the holding for bet
ter prices is shown by the experience
among the tobacco raisers. Many Of
these men are very poor but they
stuck by the society and secured the
results desired.
At Sherbrooke a meeting is to be
held tomorrow night to organize a
branch of the society there and next
week a meeting will be held at Finley
for the same purpose. Later the
different societies of the county will
be joined into county organization.

due to his towering ambition and de

the fates have already broken and cast

director. lii 1882 he founded the Chi.

JOHN r. WALSH TO BE TRIED

Chicago, Oct. l2.-John r. Walsh.
former president of the wrecked Chi
cago National bank. must stand trial
next week on 175 counts of the in
dictments against him, charging mis-.
application of funds and credits of the
institution and also that he made
false reports of the comptroller
of the currency. Between fifty
and sixty transactions are COW
cred in the indictment, the aggregate
sum involved being about 50, 500. 900.
The minimum sentence for conviction
on n single count is five years. Such
& verdict, if given, would be virtually
one of death for the aged and broken
financier, who is now in his 10th year.
The specific charges are that sums

account of President Walsh as the

often insulted and referred TO as rob-
bers and grafters, seeking to have a
guarantee fund to squander or steal.
True. these remarks mostly came
from persons who seldom contribute
and wanted some kind Of an excuse
not to do SO. On the other hand it
was pleasure to note the glad hand
extended by at least 80 per cent of
the business men who willingly sub.
scribed and put up the guarantee fund
and encouraged the work.
In conclusion, the annual fair is not
for the benefit of any one person or
set and during the past two years
we know from experience that the di-
rectory did not advance a single per
sonal proposition. and we trust that
when the election Of six new directors
