NEW SPECIES.
Brown Zebras and Biack-Lined Ante.
iopes Seen in Africa.

Intimation concerning two new
species OF animals, Indigenous to At
rica, has been conveyed to Europe by
Mr.. ]. e. Speares, who has been
spending several months in trapping
and hunting big game in Portuguese
East Africa in the regions surround
Ing Lake Nangadf and the Rovuma
River Ono Of these refers to new
type of zebra, whole herd of which
he hunter observed near by, but q
specimen of which he failed to secure.
Many members of this herd were
marked differently to the prevailing
type of this animal, the heads and
necks being brown, while the hind
Quarters were striped in the conven-
tional manner peculiar to this quad
ruped. When the natives were ques.
toned upon the point, they asserted
that they were a variety of zebra,
but that they were becoming very
scarce. Although the hunter pursued
the herd for several miles, owing to
their agility and timidity he was un
able to approach them closely. Upon
another occasion, however, he was
more fortunate and secured closer
view Of the animal. It resembles the
sebra In shape. but the head, neck.
forelegs, and fore half of the body
were Quite dark brown in color, the
hind part OF the body. including the
logs. being striped. He also discov-
cred q peculiar type of antelope SIM
ilar in size and shape to the Boer roe
buck or fmpala, the distinctive differ
ence being a black line down the
centre Of the back and on either hind
leg down to the foot, When the AMI
NAL Is startled it Immediately takes
to flight, the initial leap being fully
ton feet through the air. This species
Of antelope is essentially gregarious,
being found in herds ranging from
ten to fifty in number, and is ex.
ceedinglY wild and active Mr.. Speares
also secured what is believed to be 4
new Species Of buck which is per-
fectly hornless, about as large as a
steenbuck and possessing a brilliane
red coat.-Scientif1c American.

CANNON, THE GENIAL GEAR

George Fitch in American Magazine
Mr. Cannon is q man of simple
tastes. He does not care to have
frilis on the National capital, and
whenever he can use q plain,
lowly cussword in place of an em-
bloidered bit of eloquence he is
sure to do 10. His amusements
are few. He loves to raise the
tariff in the afternoon and to raise
the ante in the evening in a pleas
ant little semi-occasional game
between friends. In the winter he
fuses with battleships and pub
lie buildings and in the summer
he generally puts on his political
overalls and thinkers around the
Vsrmillion County Republican
machine a little, putting on . new
cog wheel hero and there. His
life is regular and almost monot-
onous. He is q creature of habit.
Every other year he runs for Con-
gress. In the of year he runs for
speaker of the house. Every four
years he declines the vice-presi-
dency. Every ten years he buys
q bank. Each fell he puts on q
suit of black clothes and q hal
with an extra rakish brim, adjusts
his cigar at an Overlooking angle
and goes to Washington, where he
xuas the nation on the high speed
all winter and listens to the pleas
Of Congressmen, who want com
mittees, appropriations, Bills, re-.
forms, appointments and amuse.

THE FOLLOWING 10 an extract
from the brief address made by
Mr.. Cannon, Immediately after
his reelection as Speaker of Con-
xress last Monday: "Each gen.
.eration of statesmen has had it's
own particular embellishments
No problems of government ever
.recur in exactly the same way.
The formulas of action in one ex-
urgency may never be safely ap-
piled ia another. Government
so far as it relates to course OF &C
tion, has no fixed presidents and
no veneration for those who have
gone before justihes living men in
approaching live problems with
purpose or with vision circum-
soribed by the limitation OF the
past. But the fundamental prin'
ciples of free government arr
eternal and unchanging, resting
on the will and responsibility o
the people and put in actor
through the deliberations ant
conscientious and jealous repre-
sentatives of that will. This Hous'
is the only institution under on
constitution where that will of tn
people may be expressed with
fairness approximating to scienti

THE PROSPEROUS FARMER.
The annual report of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture shows that
the value of the crops of 1907 Is
greater than that for any previous
year in the history of American
farming. The figures r hard to
appreciate, because the total
amount is so large. The state
ment that the crops will yield the
farmers of the country and
q half billion dollars is better un-
derstood when some comparison
Is made.
The Secretary furnishes these
comparisons. Taking corn fos'
example and indicating the value
of the crop of this year to be
larger than that of 1905, he says
that with the money gained froml
eight crops like the one of 1907 it
will duplicate every mile of steam
railroad in the country, paying
for all railroad property, terminals
rolling stock and everything con-
nected with the service. AS four
fifths of the corn of the world Is
produced in the United States
there is interest in the statements
that seventeen years of corr crops
like this one would replace the
banking power of the world, bank
ing capital, surplus, deposits and
circulation.
The order of the crops from the
standpoint of value will surprise
many, corn being followed by
hay, cotton and wheat Dairy
products are shown to be more
valuble than any crop except corr
and poultry products closely ap-
proximate the value of hay crop
of the year. The cotton yield o
six hundred millions value repre-.
sents just about half of the amount
received from the live stock solo
from the farms. With many diff
ferent products bringing hin
wealth from an inexhaustibl'
storehouse the farmer has every
reason for pride in his importanc'
as the representative of the gen
eral industry on earth.
:. When the $500, OOO, 900. yielde'
by agricultur is put with the $14,

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
E6T FROM THE CAPITOL

Currency Legislation seems TO
be the chief topic of conversation
at the White House between the
President and his many CALLERS,
and while there has been much
talk of q central bank conducted
along various lines, it is not ex.
pected that either the President
or his Secretary Of ths Treasury
will formally indorse such an ex-
pedient. The administration's
recommendation will be that Con-
gress make provision for an clas-
tic currency, amply secured by
deposits of gilt-edged bonds with
the Treasury Department., and
subject to a tax sufficiently high
to render 1t necessary for the
banks of issue to retire the excess
or emergency circulation, al soon
as the necessity for Its existance
has passed. No endeavor will be
made to furnish specifications Of
a plan, except that the President
suggest a Z percent tax as Con-
gress will be left to work out the
details.
1t is learned at the Treasury
Department that the subscriptions
for the Panama two percent bonds
are arriving In large numbers,
but no considerable payments for
the new certificates are shown by
the daily each statement of the
Treasury. This lie said to be part
ly due to the fact that only 25 per-
cent of the face.value of the amount
sold is paid into the Treasury as
cash, while the remaining Is per-
cent is left with the banks on de-
posit.

AS members of Congress arrive

curately gauge the Presidential
sentiment of the country. Judge
ing by the assertions of the various
members every State in the North
aad many in the South would be
glad to send Roosevelt delegations
to the next national convention.
Many of them however, appreciate
that MI. Roosevelt proposes to
stand by his original decision not
to accept another nomination.
Those States which realize this
fact are for Taft. Kansas will
send a solid Taft delegation to the
next convention. So will Missou-
ri. So will South Dakota, Cali-
fofnia and probably Ohio. Not

 It seems as has been suspected that there is a gang of the horse thieves. The negro Fleeks was the man whom the officer was tracing and it was upon informa- tion furnished by that negro that Weeks was arrested. Fleeks said that Weeks had stolen this horse in question, the one stolen from Claude Helms, west of town three weeks ago, and that it was his part to dispose of it. He took the horse to Little Rock and dis posed of him. On Tuesday Roy went to Little Rock and identified uiic HUI Se dS ulle one SlOleH rom Helms.

Higher Prices.

An unusually hot summer, cold and therefore late spring, the pure food law and the high price of labor are the things which are responsible for the fact that people are today paying more for most provisions and necessities than ever before in the history of the country. T h e scheming housekeeper. who has for the last few days been paying more than she used to for her linen thread, the excuse for which was the condition of the cotton mar ket, stands aghaSt at the re. gently conveyed information that most everything else is going skyward, and that there are no immediate pros D ects for a change.
 The only consolation offered by the brokers and commission men is that few things have reached their highest point, and in them a decline may confidently be looked for within the next thirty days. Potatoes, corn, cabbage and like things are in this class, and the break in the steady rise will be caused by the coming in of Northern products in great quantities. For so far the home crop has been exhausted before the Northern crop was quite ready for the market, causing, of course, a stringency and con- sequent pigh prices.
