CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-It is reported that Mrs. Eugene Field has eloped from Minneapolis to New York with George w Peavey, a millionaire.
 When Eugene Field II. was asked about it by telephone he said that he and his wife. his brother Fred, and his wife were at their home here.
 When correspondent reached the house he was introduced to two wo- men, who, according to the Feild boys. were the wives of Eugene Field II and of Fred Field.

JUDGE REID.

District Attorney Harlan has com- mitted himself to the statement that the appointment of Judge Reid to the place of Judge Wickersham is mis- take because of his lack of knowledge of the conditions which obtain here. and probably many will be found to echo the opinion. but the appointment is a question on both sides of which much may be said.
 If the laws governing mining in Al aska are at all well defined it is only fair to say that a man of Judge Reid's presumably clear intelligence will find only small difficulty in mastering them but should those laws be of an elastic quality a new arrival must certainly minister them.
 On the other hand, he comes un- tranmeled by any circumstances that might tend to warp his judgment. To no local clique does he owe allegiance above another, and in no way will his judicial acts be left open to the taint of bias
 Of course, one of equal disinterest- edness could have been found in parts of Alaska other than the one in which the new judge is called to serve. but as Alaska is one political body so to speak, and as the questions which agi- tate one part are general, it is possible that the president considered it ad- visable to select one who had never in any way taken any leading part in the political movements of the district.
 Anyhow it seems to the ordinary ob- server that the judicial bench should be elevated above local politics The country gave the president the privi- lege of making such appointments. and it certainly did so with a purpose.
 He is compelled to judge of a mans s fitness by the reports coming to him from those who are nearest Alaskans. of course, are far away and remote ness from the seat of power carries the punishment of not being always known and relied upon.
 And were the president to appoint q ma1 from one district the friends of a candidate in another district would probably protest.
 Did people think that an Alaskan ap- pointee had received the place through his influence with capital the remainder would "holler," and capital would move heaven and earth to keep one of the others from the bench.
 Should the president act on the ad- vice of those who should be expected to be his logical advisors, what would happen? Let it be supposed. for in- stance. that he appointed the nominee of Governor Hoggatt, and then let a veil be drawn over the scene that rises to the imagination.

there was too little The nearest that we can hope to come to the truth is that the rapid expansion of business, and the consequent enlargement of period of liquidation. of which specu- lators in money took advantage and depreciated the values of stocks, which act led to an increased demand for ready money from people, who had to cover loans made upon stocks as col lateral But the cause is not so ma terial as the fact itself that there was stringency, which shows signs of re- laxing. From. a more or less careful perusal of a large number of articles dealing with the current condition of the financial world we are strongly of the opinion that easier money will be the rule from now on. We do not look for any immediate change of pro- nounced proportions. but we shall be surprised if there is not steady im-
  ably one of the few on record that could in some measure be attributed to real estate transactions. There has been for the last two years deter mined effort in New York to boom real estate values in that city and the papers took the matter up with great persistency. The result was that vast sums of money were invest ed in land, and most of it in part payment for purchases. When the subsequent payments fell due there was great scurry to get money to meet them. which made a greater de- mand upon the resources of the banks 'han those institutions could meet. While this sort of thing may temper arily derange financial matters it can have no permanently injurious ef- fect.-Victoria Colonist.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Notwithstanding the phophecies of pessimists, there does not appear to be any substantial decrease in the volume of business being transacted the world over. and there are many indications that the money market is becoming easier. The reasons for the financial stringency. of which so much has been said lately, will never be satisfactorily explained, and for the very excellent reason that no one can explain it satisfactorily even to himself A few weeks ago two Eng fish financial writers dealt with the subject. One of them said there was too much money and the other that

 SEATTLE, Nov. l1.-The health in spectors poisoned some sandwiches yesterday in one part of the city near the wholesale districts and placed them as bait for the rats. Soon afterwards two barrels of the rodents were col lected on the spot and burned.
 The strangest part of the experiment was the fact that when the inspectors come to bag their game they saw a battle royal between the vermin them selves. who are driven to desperation by hunger.
 The little beasts were so intent on eating each other up that the boys who accompanied the inspectors managed to get in some glorious work.

CARD FROM LOGAN.
Gives His Side of the Charge
Preferred Against Him.

To the Editor Brandon News-The
writer noticed an article in recent is
sue Of the News with the head
lines sThree Living Wives and
knowing that You believe in fair play
and no favor, the writer begs to make
the following comment on this article
In which seem to alternately figure
as the hero or stage villain according
to the whim of the talented reporter
who wrote il. In the beginning the ar
ticle contains mole literary merit than
truth, in fact it reads more like q
page from Laura Jean Libby than q
plain statement of fact.
In the first place it is true was
married to Eliza Pearson who bore
me four children all living. It is al
so true I deserted her, Who would not
desert an adulterous wife? She sued
for divorce on grounds Of desertion and
as she made no contention for the
custody of the children, I, of course
made no defense / allowed her to
retain the youngest boy not because
thought it right but on account of
his tender years. The other three
boys Jesse, George and Cleve are with
me at this writing. Is is entirely
on account of the boys having reached
an age of usefulness that my former
wife has endeavored, first to obtain
possession of them and failing in that,
Ierjured herself 60 have me arrested
and failing in that brings former
housekeeper and half-breed nigger as
sociate (please note the social charac-
ter OF this trio) and brings a second
charge against me equally as false
as the first and threw me into
Jail and while in this helpless state
tried to steal my children, but fortu-
natly the kindly interference of my
neighbors prevented this until my en-
ployers and responsible merchant Of
Pelahatchie went on my bond, and
again restored me TO my home and
children.
l hold no bitterness against these
individuals in Pelahatchie who enter
tanned this trinity of conspirators,
they have no doubt been softened and
prejudiced by woman's tears and
statements Of alleged wrongs, but I
feel it my duty to my present wife,
my children, my neighbors and friends
to present my side of the case and to
that end / would kindly ask for space
in your valuable paper
Yours very truly

Judge Truly's Speech.

Since the holiday season very little
has been heard of the candidates for
governor. In fact the early enthusiasm
for this or that candidate seems to
have been killed by the first frost in
the fall. Even the country newspa-
pers have had SO little to say Of late
about the several distinguished aspi-
rants that their readers over the state
would not know that campaign was
going on in Mississippi.
The first account Of condidate's g
speech of any Importance appeared
last week in the Greenwood Enter
prise 1t pays the distinguished cam
didate magnificent compliment and
is as follows:
Judge jeff Truly, one of the lead
ing candidates for governor. made q
two hours speech to the voters Of Le-
fore county at the court house last
Thursday afternoon. For real and
genuine eloquence his speech was far
superior to anything heard before in
the present campaign. It is generally
conceded that the judge is mentally
one of the ablest men of the state.
1.-THE key note of his matchless
speech was even and exact justice to
every section of the state. He showed
the great injustice done the school
children Of certain localities by the
present system Of distribution Of the
school funds, and earnestly insisted
that a change in the same should be
made He showed the appalling ine-
qualities In tax assessments and how
both the spirit and letter of the law
demanding equality of taxation is
violated under the present system.
Every body who heard him was con.
vinced Of the fact that some legal
remedies should be found that would
cure this injustice. The judge also
insisted most earnestly that che great
railroad systems Of the state were not
paying their just share of taxation
and that if they should be assessed as
individuals are assessed that the tax
on land would be reduced by one-half.
He also devoted considerable time to
showing up the rebate system Of rob.
berry practioed by the railroads Of this
state and pointed out simple but
effective remedy therefor.
'The judges appeal for the south,
for our native sousherner, was one Of
the greatest oratorical efforts ever
heard in Greenwood It is needless
to say that it went straight home with
every hearer.
The Judges speech was broad
statesmanlike one, and it is believed
that he made very favorable i'm

Appreciation.

Appreciation is one Of the Christ
like emotions Of the human heart. To
look at motives and not at results is
the right thing to do. How often the
best laid plans lead to failure. A
word Of appreciation has. led many q
discouraged heart to pick up the brok-
en- threads and weave them into new
web after they had lain among tat
tered ideals for months or years. Kind
words bring memories that echo
through the years long after the lips
that uttered them have crumbled to
dust Children carry the memory Of
words Of appreciation with them
through childhood and often recall
them In old age when enveloped in
the shadows Of life. They are like
the perfume Of the violet that lifts it's
head above the spring SHOWS and
whispers to them Of the sunshine.
Money cannot buy, intellect cannot
create so rare gem as true kindness.
Is is 8 heart product and needs the
tenderest culture. Il is killed By In
difference and enfeebled BY neglect.

GET THE CAIN IDEA.
How to Build or Not Build Up a
Town.

When Gain had killed off one e-fourth
of the people on the earth-leaving
only three, then went into the land of
Nod and builded city, it is evident
that he did not sit around like bump
on log, and growl about the Nod
real estate and people. He was not
himself, perhaps, the most exemplary
of men, and if he had some reason to
emigrate from the land of his birth !,
he did not NOPE and whine, but got
hold of piece of ground and went to
work to do something. The man who
could build up city under such aus
pices is the kind of material we want
in this town; and we will not inquire
too infinitely into his antecedonts, SO
that he takes hold like man and be
good at last.
But what is more, Cain did not ad-
wise his son to go west, and get out
of the old dead town " He named the
city after him, believee in it worked
for it. bought his goods there and
kept his money at home. Does any
body suppose that when strangers
came to Enoch, (name of the eity)
with any notion of going into busi-
ness there, Cain told them it was
dead old town. that it was estab-
lishpd by murderer, that the water
was bad; its merchants all sharks,
and its mechanics botches-that the
town was not healthy and would
fnever amount to anything no how. y
Does anybody suppose that when he
wanted to invest few dollars in dry
goods he hustled off to the city, or
that he only went to the merchants Of
ssEnoch' when he wanted favor
wanted "a little time?'
Do you think he ever went away
from home to get lumber that could
be had at better rates in "Enoch',
than elsewhere, or Cincinnati for
cheap buggies when the s'home manu-
Ifacturer" could meet every demand
with more stylish and substantial
rigs?
Do you suppose he went moping
around about taxes being too high in
Enoch and no one there knowing any
thing about business? No sir. He
evidently wasn't built that way. II
taxes were high, he got mp and hus-
] tied 10 increase the value Of property,
