Mr.. Myrick talked steadily on this

and thoughtful. He shook hands with
Bradley at the gate of the Travellers

did not come near the big house. He

Now organization-A Co operative
Movement.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Plans to organize
operative movement, similar to the
Rochdale plan in Great Britain, were
perfected at a conference of farmers
held in the Briggs House yesterday.
The leaders Of the movement are Of
ficers of the American Society OF
Equity, better known as the Farmers
Union, and the new organization prom
ises to supplant the old.
Already 100000 farmers are pledged
to the new organization, according to
its sponsors, and it is probable that
Chicago will become the central mar
ket and headquarters of the society.
Incorporated under the laws Of New
Jersey for $1,000, 900, the new organiza-
ton, which il known as the Producers
and Consumers International Equity
Union and Cooperative Exchange,
proposes to establish markets in every
city in the country for the distribu-
ton of farm products on co-opera-
tive plan.
The officers of the organization are:
President-George w. Wickline, st
Louis.
Vice president and organizer-Joha
Mulholland, Indianapolis.
Secretary-Rev. ]. +. Tuohy, 81.

Treasurer-vThomas Emmerton. Wis

The board of directors, members OF
which attended the conference yester-
day, Is composed of N c. Crawley and

depends on the outcome Of a conven-
ton which will be held in Indianap DIS
Oct. %. All the officers Of the Amer
lean Society of Equity, with the excep-
ton of it's president, j. A. Everitt, are

The principal object of the society Is
to bring the producer and consumer
closer together on lines of equity ana

SIOUX CITY HAS APPLES.
Crop in Limited Territory Is Largest
In Its History.

In Its History.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City. Sept. 6While the apple
crop of the United States is about 40
per cent lighter this year than in or
binary years and the usually reliable
Missouri crop is almost total fail
ure, the territory around Sioux city
has come forward with the largest crop
in It's history.
Sioux City fruit commission houses
estimate that no less than 10000
barrels of apples will be shipped this
year from the local market. This
ands of barrels which are being
packed for local consumption and
which will find their way to cold
storage houses
These apples are bringing from so
cents to 10 cents per bushel, accord
ing to the grade.
A leading fruit commissionsman of
Sioux City said the large crop Of
apples raised around Sioux City this
year was due not so much to q
heavy yield as to the greatly in
creased acreage. Thousands Of o.
chards which We're planted few
years ago have begun to bear. He
asked who few years ago would
have looked at piece of prairie
land near Hurley S. d. and guessed
that in 1907 an apple orchard there
would produce 1900 barrels? Yet this
has taken place and Sioux City house
has received the fruit.

LYNcHINe TALE FROM PULPIT

reservation near at hand is the opln-
ion of Rev. Sidney L. Chandler. dean
of Morning Side college, formerly pas
tor of the Methodist church OF Ida
Grove, who is here visiting old friends
DR.. Chandler preached sermon here
on '"rhe Unwritten Law in which ne
told of the lynching as he saw 1t.
DR.. Chandler says that in his opln-
ion every man in the county knew
that Higgins was to be hanged al
Bancroft that day. and that Judging
from the way Sheriff Young and his
deputy acted they also knew all about
it and did not care particularly. He
saws that if Sheriff Young did not
know about the mob forming he was
the only man on the train who did
not know about it miles before the
train reached Bancroft.
At several stations before Bancroft
was reached, DR.. Chandler says
crowds of farmers got on the train and
talked in a mysteriously wise way
about what was to come, and it was
apparent to him, as an outsider. that
there was trouble in the air for the
prisoner.
Chandler says Sheriff Young and
his deputy were not hurt by the mob
and that their resistance was merely
bluff. He further says that when
the train stopped at Bancroft and ev-
erybody left the car, Sheriff Young and
his deputy remained in the car and
did not attempt to go out and do
what they could to rescue the prisoner
they were sworn to protect.

PARDON FOR THE ALTON
Roosevelt Will Insist on immunity it
Lands Refuses.

Washington, Sept. 6.-That President
Roosevelt will issue pardon to the
Chicago & Alton railroad If Judge
Lands persists in his determination to
bring that company to account Tor It's
share in the Standard Oil rebating
case, is now perfectly certain.
This information comes direct from a
government official who is in posi-
ton to know. Many precedents are
found for such action. The admins
tration entered into a fair and square
deal with the Alton officials to give
them and their road immunity in case
they would turn states evidence
against the Standard Oil. The railroad
officials did So, so the department OF
justice holds, and the administration
proposes to stand by its agreement.
Judge Lands apparent determine
ton to ignore the immunity plea has
enraged the officials at the department
of justice, and they have fully decided
that the government shall take no
part in the Investigation before the
grand jury if Judge Lands orders one.
District Attorney Sims must either
follow instructions and dismiss the case
against the Alton, or lose his scalp.
administration will furnish no attor-
ney to handle the case before the grand
jury, and will not pay the expenses OF
the one which Judge Lands would APP
point.
And H. the court continues to push
the matter and force indictments, the
president as a last resort will issue a
full par6lon to the accused before trial,
The department Of justice is not sat
isfied with the report which District
Attorney Sims made concerning the
proceedings of the court Tuesday in
continuing the case instead of dismiss
ing it, and Mr.. Sims has been asked for
additional facts.
He has also received notice that the
governments side of the affair must be
presented in open court at the first OPP
portunity, and that dismissal from of
flee will be the penalty for failure to
do so.
The position taken by Judge Lands
has been disclosed to the government.
In effect the judge believes that the
department of justice is entirely too
hasty in granting immunity. There is
a bare possibility, he figures, of the
higher court upsetting the judgment
by Wnlcn ne Hneu the otanuaru Ol
Company $29. 100000 for receiving re-
bates from the Alton.
II this case should be reversed and
sent back for trial the judge wants a
club over the Alton officials to make
them testify again.
If immunity is now granted them,
and the Standard case should be sent
back for another trial. the Alton Off
Gals might suffer a lapse of memory
and forget the most vital parts of their
testimony which caused conviction at
the first trial.
