Milwaukee Extension VIII Help
Movement of Troops.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-One of the bene-
fetal effects of the Pacific coast ex-
tension of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway will be the transportation of
soldiers of the regular army from one
for to another. Heretofore it has
been customary for the soldiers in
South Dakota to make the journey
either afoot or horseback.
Officers of the Milwaukee & st.
Paul road in Chicago have just been
notified that the Second cavalry now
in the field in South Dakota on ac-
count of the Ute Indian trouble has
been ordered to Wakpala, S. D.. a
point on the ST. PauPs new Pacific
extension and to board a train there
for return to the government station
in Des Moines Another order sends
soldiers from the same point in South
Dakota to Leavenworth, Kansas.
This will be the first movement of
soldiers over the new line and the
first time the government in that part
of the west has had railroad facilities.
The new line will go through a part of
the west that has been without rail-
ways and the advent of the engine, it
is believed. will not only. make pos
sible quicker movements of soldiers
but tend to keep the Indians in good
order.

SETTLE ONE TRUST CASE
Millers' Trust Said to Be Anxious to
Quit the Fight.

John Dawson, assistant attorney
general, returned from Wichita today,
where he has been in conference with
representatives of the Southern Kan
sas Millers' club which is being pro-
| ceeded against by the attorney gen.
| erals office under the antitrust laws
! of the state. The complaint charges
| that the organization is one of the
branches of the Millers' trust which
| is charged with restricting the flour
trade in the state and fixing the price
at which the product as we'll as wheat
shall be sold.
While no decision was reached at
the conference, it is plain that the
meeting was called by the representa-
tfves of the Millers' association for the
purpose of affecting an amicable set
tlement OF matters complained of out
side of the courts. Litigation in any
event would be a long and expensive
procedure for the state and the as
ISOLATION alike and if the state should
m1liers organization which they
maintain does not conflict with the
trust laws of the state.
1t seems that there was not a
unanimity of opinion even among the
members of the millers' association
as several of them favored fighting the
matters in question through the
courts to final settlement. The as
s1stant attorney general refused to dis
cuss the matters under Amusement at
the meeting for publication, though
the understanding is that the matter
is far from a satisfactory settlement
as far as all parties interested are con-
cerned.
THE meeting was g. secret one"
said one of the members who attend
ed, "but believe that there will be an
understanding before the case gets in
to the courts. There rs no disposition
on the part of the members-of either
association to go against the law and
there never-has been any disposition
to fix the price of grain. I believe the
matter can be settled without going
any further in the courts
THE members of the Southwestern
Bureau of Information have agreed
to withdraw from the association and
the members of the Southern Kansas
Mil1ers' club have said that thew
would not try, and never had tried,
to fix the price on grain There are
other points which I can not men,

YIraInla tobacco GrOKerS 10 Share.

4 conference between some Of the
leaders Of the Dark Tobacco Growers
Association Of Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia, was held In Farmville
for several days Of last week, and a
number Of things were agreed upon
and measures adopted which will
prove Of much interest to the farmers
Of this State who grow tobacco.
One Of the most important agree
ments was that no tobacco will be sold
from the pooling warehouses Of Ken
lucky and Tennessee unless a pro rata
number of pounds is taken from the
storage houses Of the Virginia growers,
This is said to insure the absolute sue
cess Of the Virginia organization,
which has always been the weaker OF
the three States.
Another thing Of interest especially
to the people Of this section, is that
headquarters Of the Virginia organiza-
ton will be established in Farmyille
with a capable corps Of managers
Both Congressman Flood and Lassiter
spent some time here during the con-
ference and participated In the delib-
erations.

Cheerful News.

From Albermarle we are told that
the session is the best Of all its pre-
decessors. The only discordant note
came from school where one Of our
teachers though in command Of all
the school forces, has 81 children in
her room and under her sole care.
That's too much for one frail body

The Tobacco Question Discussed.

We clip from the Paducah lky)
News-Democrat an interview had
with Hon. Joel. b. Fort, Of Adams
Tenn, who but recently visited this
locality in the interest Of the farmers
organization. From this interesting
interview we take the following:
Hon. Joel b. Fort, Of Tennessee,
stopped over in Paducah last night on
his way to Murray, where he spoke
to the farmers on the tobacco situation.
A Democrat man met Col.
Fort and asked him Of the tobacco
situation. To hear him discuss the
matter reads like romance Of the
middle ages.
Col. Fort said 81 have just returned
from a trip through the Dark Tobacco
Growers Association Of Virginia and
made twenty-one speeches there, and
| met the flower and chivalry Of the
"Old Dominion state" and in my
campaign was associated with the elo-
quent Hal Flood, representative in
Congress from the Appomattox dis
trict."
Mr.. Fort designated him the "a. o..
Stanley" Of Virginia. Mr. Fort said
that it is only a question Of a short
time when the tobacco growers Of Viz
ginia would be rs solidly organized as
they are in Tennessee and Kentucky.
The reporter asked Mr.. Fort if he
had made any more speeches like he
made in Paducah one year ago on the
subject Of Goats" Laughingly MI.
Fort replied, "That 1t was hardly ne
cessary, as the general trend Of public
sentiment everywhere was against
"kickers," KNOCKERS" and goats, "
and the people in the cities and in the
country were uniting for the common
good OF the common country.
Mr.. Fort said that the work Of the
tobacco growers association was
known wherever tobacco was used,
that the gallant fight made by the
tobacco growers met aud was still
meeting with appreciation all over the
world, that the old idea promulgating
by the trust that it was destructive to
the prosperity Of the country had long
since been exploded.
Col Fort said when asked about
politics that the association had bought
paten, spanking machine run by
electricity and whenever any officer Of
the association at any time offered to
"dabble" in politics they appointed
a committee and ushered him in the
spanking machine and when he came
out he was an honest, upright and
truthful patriotic citizen and never
dared to mention politics any more
Said Col. Fort: "All Of the farmers
organizations heretofore have been
wrecked on the crazy shores Of poll
tics. This organization has determin-
ed to steer clear Of all political ALI
qucps 80

Saturday EVenIng ReVefleS.

As we are alone with our thoughts
this Saturday evening, our mind re-
calls many admirable actions that are
overlooked by many Of Us because they
are so little and common. Take, for
instance, the mother, who has broken
slumber, If any at all, with the nurs-
ing babe, whose wants must not be
dsregarded; she would fain sleep a
while when the breakfast hour comes,
but patiently and uucomplainingly she
takes her timely seat at the table.
Though exhausted and weary, she
serves them all with refreshing cup
Of coffee or tea before she sips il her
self, and often the cup is handed back
to her 10 be refilled before she has had
time to taste her own. DO you hear
her complain-thi weary mother
that her breakfast is cold before she
has time to eat il? And this is not for
one, but for every morning, perhaps,
in the year DO you call this a small
thing? Try it and see. Oh, how does
woman shame US by her forbearance
and fortitude in what are called little
things An, it is these little things
which are test Of character; II is by
these "little" self-denials, borne with
such selfforgotten gentleness, that the
humblest home is made beautiful 10

and the hand which kept in motion
