akin TO conditions prevailing In the
middle ages.
The astonishing pass to which things
have come is instanced by the lack OF
notice accorded to any but the most
dramatic crimes. Four days after a
doctor was strangled to death on a
populous street the matter had been
forgotten and the depredations of the
Black Hand society to whose hand at
least one murder a week has been laid
for months, only became worthy Of no.
tice when eliminating in the blowing
up OF tenement house containing 200
persons.

a matter Of fact, candidates for the

surgeon.
He did SO and his chest measures

Next the surgeon said, Jump over

And then his mistake as to the room

acre per year, with the certainty Of .
steady rise inside Of ten years to one
hundred dollars and more. The land IS
as good as the best Iowa soil, tho eli.

round. The location is in Jackson Cos
Texas, 80 miles north of the Gulf. and
the land will produce field crops OF
rice, cotton. corn. sugar cane, sweet
potatoes, hay and millet; all fruits do
well, and no better country for vege-

It is in the rain belt with perfect
drainage, and has good water. It -

winters, and will make an active and

on a firm level. Most demand has come
from the east this week, but there was
fair call from Illinois buyers Good
grass and the better growth of corn of
late has stimulated buying interest and
local traders expect a good market in
the next few days.
Absence of liberal marketing of feed
ers is good indication that many own
ers OF such grades are content to hold
onto them while the grass is good aud
fat steer trade is in such satisfactory
shape. There has been a small supply
of feeders here for the past two weeks
and this has been stinulous to bet

poor sellers these days are thin little
Wisconsin "knothead" stockers. but
even these are low enough in price
to warrant purchasing.
