made millions. Jones is over sew
enty years old and very feeble.

oners. Q,es Is

The treasury OF the company has
not yet come to light but the officers
intend to force the arrested parties
to tell how much their receipts have
been. II is known that they sold
many thousands of tickets each
month mostly through "cappers''
who worked slyly around saloons,
and other places where a credulous
victim might be found.
A large number OF books belong
ing to the concern were captured

various kinds. etc, are being held as
evidence. One of these books is the

$4,000, sthe latter seeming to have
been the largest prize. and the tick
cts could be bought In several sizes.
SO for a whole ticket or as low as
20 cents for one-thentieth ticket
which entitled the holder to that
portion of one chance at a prize.

COURT WILL DECIDE ON
THE HARTMAN
QUESTIONS.
Argument Taking Place To-
day Before Judge Hough
in New York.
COMMISSION PRESENTING
VERY STRONG CASE

New York. Nov. 13.--iArguments
by the interstate commerce commits
sion 10 compel f.. III. Hartman to
answer certain questions put to him
during an investigation OF railroad
affairs, were begun before Judge
Hough in the United States court
today. Each side Will have three
and one-half hours to present its
case.
The questions Hartman refused to
answer related to the purchase of
stock in other railroads in the in
terest of the Union Pacific and to
the Union Pacific dividends.
In a brief filed in this court yes
terday Hartman set forth at length
his contention as to why he should
not be compelled to answer the ques-
tions. He contended that the com
mission, in asking the questions
sought to go beyond the powers con-
ferred by congress, and that to force
him to answer under the circum-
Stances would be to deprive him Of
his liberty without due process of
law.
United states District Attorney
Stlmson opened the argument for the
commission. Judge r. 5. Levett will
appear for Hartman.
His Contention.
The principal point In the brief Is
the contention that the acts concern
Ing which Mr.. Hartman was on the
stand, did not relate TO interstate
commerce, and were not in violation
Of the interstate commerce act, but
were designed TO compel a disclO-
sure by him of transactions which
had they taken place, neither the
commission nor the congress Of the
United states could afford a consti-
tutional remedy"
The brief also sets forth that Mr.
Hartman does not admit that the
Interstate commerce commission has
any powers other than those confer
red by act Of congress approved
February A, 1877, and the amend
ments thereto.

ATTEMPT ROBBERY
Chicago Diamond Dealer Beaten By
 Would-Be Robber.

Chicago. Sept-John w. Miller, a railroad clerk who was arrested Satur day night on the charge of attempting to kill and rob Edgar M. Crumb, a dia- mond broker, confessed the crime to the police. Desperation caused by the bounding of a horde of loan sharks was given by Miller as the reason for the crime for which he may hang. In his written statement of the man. ner in which he lured Crumb into the flat for the deliberate purpose of attacking and rObbing him, Miller, who is a slight man, 36 years old, re- vealed one of the most shocking plots that the police have dealt with for years. Miller beat the diamond brok- CT over the head not only with stove poker, which broke in three pieces by the force of the blows, but with meat cutter. Crumb is lying near death at a hospital, as a result of the terrible beating he received.
 Miller said that for year loan sharks had threatened him and swal- lowed up his salary, and cost him one good position. His wife, he said, was good, saving girl, but he drank and gambled, and lived far beyond his salary. An original loan of $50 in creased to notes of $400. The interest was ten per cent month and he had to borrow from one man to pay inter- est on his first debt to another. Thus the little cloud grew blacker and blacker until it threatened to ruin his whole life and drive him from home Miller began to plot to get money In some easier way than borrowing 1t. Finally he answered an advertisement inserted in a newspaper by Crumb, who desired to dispose of some dia' monds Crumb went to Miller's apart ments to sell the gems and the latter attacked him.

"GONE TO THE DEVIL"
London Inn Responsible for Origin Of
 Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been responsible for the origin of many common sayings. An instance of this is the proverbial phrase He has gone to the devil" On Fleet street. London, near Temple Bar, was once tavern which was known by the strict. ly old-fashioned name, The Devil and Saint Dunstan." It was famous for it's good dinners and excellent wines, and received a large patronage from the lawyers of Temple Bar.
 It was familiarly known as "The Devil" and when a lawyer left his office to go there he usually left no- tice on his door, Gone to the Devil" There were some who patronized the tavern to the neglect of their business, and the notice was so regularly exhib- ited on their doors that it finally came to be used to characterize the man who was losing his grip and going to destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.

FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Made Discovery.

No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse.
 Speaking of coffee, nurse of Wilkes Barre, Pa, writes: T used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indiges- tion. While on a visit to my brothers I had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it alto- gether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion
 Naturally have since used Postum among my patients. and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used.
 T observed curious fact about Postum when used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness.
 q find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most always serve it before it has been boiled long enough. It should be boiled 15 to 20 minutes after boiling begins and served with cream. when 1t Is cer- tainly a delicious beverage" Read 'The Road to Melville" in pkss. '"There's Reason"

The Peaceful Jov of the River.

An ingenious Spaniard says that "rivers and the inhabitants of the wa tery element were made for wise men to contemplate and fools to pass by without consideration" And though I will not rank myself in the number of the first, yet give me leave to free myself from the last, by offering to you a short contemplation, first of riv- CTS, and then of fish; concerning which I doubt not but to give you many observations that will appear very considerable; am sure they have appeared so to me, and made many an hour pass away more pleasantly, as have sat quietly on flowery bank by a calm river.-Isaac Walton.

Down in the coast country of Texas it was the settled opinion for many years that hogs could not be success fully or profitably raised, and if one did succeed in raising hogs, that the meat could not be cured there. That the idea was an absurd one was con- stantly being demonstrated over and had to be shown" and who year after year did raise hogs and save their own bacon and hams. Finally the people are beginning to come into their own. Nowhere else in this coun- try can one raise hogs so easily nor the finest meat on earth is indigenous to the South coast soils, and the win ters being practically nothing, the cost of taking care of them is simply that of having room for them to run and seeing that they have access to hog question Is true of hundreds of crops that cant be raised" in certain localities. While it is true that every thing can not be raised everywhere, the fact is that the number of things that can be practically raised almost anywhere is almost unlimited. It of ten happens that some standardization must be done, and varieties suited to the soils and climate must be sought; but this the work that the diversfi- cationist is now doing. Herein is the greatest work of the Union. Let us all be xperimenters-al diversified tionists.

The advances made in the past few years in methods of evading drouths and in conserving the water fall of drouthy sections seem simply won derful as compared with old plans and old ideas. The smallest amount of moisture, under the dust mulch sys- tenn, is now producing crops that are at once the wonder and the admiration of the world. Arid plains are produc- ing crops that were formerly consid- cred impossible of raising except in the most favored sections Added to the methods of conservation of mois- ture, new varieties have been discov- cred and evolved which are suited to the dry conditions, until it begins to look like the man on the hitherto bar ren plains is about as well off for variety of crops as those on the lands of regular rainfall

Any man with the sense to lead a blind goose to water knows that the farming class must unite in some sort of protective organization or else be- come the slaves of the other organi- zations. There is not a single line of industry or commerce that has not it's fine organization whose purpose is to get the best of the other fellows, and it is the farmer who has to do busi- ness with all of them, and all of them have special agents or committees to see that the farmer gets the hot end of the poker. This is known of all men, In the face of this condition, how on earth can one of us stand out and fight the best organization we have ever had? The Farmers Union, in it's short life, has done more than all other farmer organizations put to- gether. It had the advantage of all the other organizations, for it has had a day of organization to work in, and it has had the experience of the farmers organizations that have gone before and blazed the way, pointed out the pitfalls and put us on notice of the slippery places.
