SELL DEvLIN PROPERTY
List of Shares of Stock and Obliga-
lions Held by Him.

The trustees of the sDevlin estate
have made application to the special
referee, N. H LOOMS. for the right to
dispose. of all of the unencumbered
personal property. of c. ]. Devlin,
bankrupt, at either public or private
sale.
The value of the property is an un-
known quantity, large portion of it
consisting of stock in mining and coal
companies. the worth of which can
only be estimated and that at the
toughest. The better known of the
securities will approximate a value of
probably $1,000 900, and the balance of
the estimated securities will not total
probably half as much.
The bulk of the personal property
which has a tangible value consists OF
railroad construction material, consist
ing of ties. iron rails. ETC., is ap-
praised at $40. 960.49. This property
abuts on the right of way of the To-
luca, Marquette & Northern railroad
in Illinois.
OF the better known stock the fol-
lowing is enumerated: Topeka Pure
MIX company, 20 shares. par value,
$4,000; Mutual Ice and Cold Storage
company, 100 shares, par value, ST.
600; Merchants National bank, 35
shares, par value, $500; Devlin Coal
company, 500 shares, par value, $780,
900; American Oil and Gas company,
OOO,OOO par NdlOSJ 90VsVOO,
Dev1in-Wear Coal company, 500
shares, par value, $4,000; Kansas
State Exposition company, shares,
par value, $3.50; Kansas Exposition
company, 200 shares, par value, 81,
900; Jerusalem Exhibit company, 500
shares, par value, $500; Spring Valley
Nadonal bank. 225 shares, par value,
$22,50O; one-fourth interest in Great
Western Mercantile company, Toluca;
$10,287 in personal note; rs shares of
Marceline Coal company, par value,
$500; 25 shares Marceline Mercan-
tile company, par value, $4,000; 8
shares MoIlie Gibson Mining company
The par value in many instances of
the above stock represents an excess
sive value. in others, such as the Mer-
chants National bank. the market
value will exceed the par.
Cyrus Leland, one of the trustees,
refused to give a total estimate of all
the property which will be offered for
sale, stating that he was unacquainted
with its real worth.
Along with this the trustees filed a
second application asking to dispose
at private sale of the Toluca Electric
Light company's property appraised
at $15,581.32. Local parties at Toluca
who have some interest in the plant,
it is understood, have made an offer to
purchase and the sale will be made to
them The offer made is at the ap-
praised value.
Both applications will come up for
a hearing before Special Referee N.
H. LOOMS on the 18th of January.
Notices will be sent out to the cred
itors of the proposed hearing.

exchange by Representative L1Vlngs-

president of the Southern Cotton asso-
citation of Atlanta, on which they base
a request that the postoffice depart
ment issue a fraud order against the
officials and members of the Cotton
exchange in order to bar them efrom
the use of the United States mails.
The charges follow:
'sFirst-We charge that New York
city has ceased to be commercial
spot cotton market, and that the New
York Cotton exchange, operating un-
der its present debased and fraudulent
contracts, has developed into purely
spee uiative or gam bling exchange, and
that the grades of cotton shipped to
New York and tenderable on the con-
tracts under the rules of the New York
Cotton exchange can not be used for
commercial spinning purposes, and
that such grades of cotton are used
solely to depress the price of spinnable
grades in the south; to further the
speculative features of the New York
Cotton exchange to the heavy detrf-
uaent of our legitimate cotton trade Of
the United States.

CLAYTON

Sometimes Clayton woman, when she gets tired of waiting for painter to come and spread new coat of paint on the house, goes out and does the job her self. An instance of that kind hap pened last week. And from the road it looked like good job, too.
 Last week we alluded to the fact that Frank Miller has purchased the old hotel property here. And he has done more Across the road, on the other corner, he has purchased the old Deming home stead. With these buildings are inclu- ded nearly 300 acres of land, most of it located along the route of the proposed trolley line. If the road is ever built land for this every Claytonite hopes) this will be valuable property. The old hotel has not been open for the accom- modation of travellers for many years and it is not likely it will ever be used for that purpose again. If Clayton ever sees the day when it needs hotel or, rather, when hotel can be conducted here at a profit, this building will be torn down and modern structure erected in it's place. In former years it was quite famous hostilry. We are told that 1t was here the stage coaches on the old Hartford-Albany stage line stopped for a change of horses and for a bite and sup for the travellers.
 The Clayton terra cotta works may once more be the scene of activity. An effort is now to be made to manufacture white Portland cement here and it is thought it can be done both successfully and economically.

How to Dry H-rps.

Herbs form m important feature in every garden, but 1t is not much use to spend a great deal of care la cultivat- ing them If we do not knew how to preserve them for use during the win. ter, so perhaps q few notes on this subject may not be out Of pace. says the Gentlewoman. They should be picked during the summer just before they flower, and when they are full of juices and at their best. Care must bc taken to select perfectly dry day for the gathering which may be done either in the early morning or in the evening. Carefully remove all dust md dirt cut off the roots and spread the herbs on squares of brown paper, which should be placed In a warm oven. In order to preserve the full flavor the drying should be done quickly. as if they are dried slowly the heat dries un the aroma and they will be almost tasteless. On the other hand, they must not be allowed to get brown or scorch, as this equally destroys the flavor. When they are dry. pick tho leaves from the stalks and put them into bottles or jars. which must hc tightly corketl Before bottllng them be careful to sec that they are quite cold or they will turn sour and be useless

RESTRICTION NEEDED

The farmers of the state are almost unanimously in favor of legislation that will restrict the operation of automo- piles. And all horse owners are nearly as much in favor of stringent measures The fact of the matter is that few automobile owners who run their ma chimes in a sort of Town n-the-road-and- don't n't-care-a-rap- flor anyone manner have so embittered the people against autoists in general that the careful and consider ate machine driver is chased with the reckless ones So far as our obserya- tion is concerned, the careful ones are in the majority for which the public may be thankful.
 Last season we noted that the ma chimes which were sent bowling along the roads at express train speed and which whizzed through the villages without regard to speed restrictions or the safety of teams or pedestrians, were, as rule owned by parties from the cities or from other states who either cared little whether they were haled in to court and fined or else thought, as some of the would-be blue-bloods appar- ently do think, that as soon as they leave city limits, they enter 8 region where primitive conditions prevail and where they can safely take the risk of ignoring the rights of the people. This is the sort of autoist who needs a lesson. He needs to be made to realize that there are laws to be obeyed and rights to be regarded It isn't more laws we need. Those we have are sufficient if enforced. If fining the persistent and wanton vio- lator of the law don't accomplish the re- suit, perhaps a jail sentence without a fine alternative might have the desired effect.

Women Rule nr RabIc. Do

The ordinary man would still much rather glorify women and set them on mock throne whence he can depose them at will, than have to acknowl- edge in them real title to regard. 1t Is difficult for a man to overcome his essential self importance. Most of us perhaps prefer to have interiors round us-an abject trait of character. but natural. And only very slowly have we men been getting to prefer our womankind as friends and equals rather than as queens and pets, ruling us as baby or a spoiled dog does.-. London Saturday Review.
