CANNING FACTORY CLOSES.
Fruit and Vegetable Crop Failure
Around Parsons the Cause

Parsons Kan, Sept 24-The Par
sons canning factory has been closed,
and 1t will not be opened until next
year The crop failure in vegeta bles
and fruits in southeastern Kansas this
year is the cause of the closing. With
all the prospects of the brightest, the
canning factory venture started in the
spring. but the dry weather of July
shut out any possibility of canning
fruit this year.
Tomatoes were the main forte of
the Gamers But the crop was de-
stroyed just as ripening time came.

Tennyson's cynielsm.

Sir We're de We're was the eldest son of Sir Aubrey de We're, the sonneteer and friend of wo Sisworth. His broth CT, Aubrey de We're, was a more than well known, a famous poet, and to him in his youth Walter Savage Ian dor addressed the exhortation:
 Make thy proud name stiil prouder for
 thy sons
 He had 10 sons, however, never hay ing married. Neither had his brothers, We're and Stephen. Thus the name, as family name, disappears.
 The De Veres were early friends of Tennyson's. and 1t was from them that the poet took the name which he made prove-bial and symboIical of a class-sthe caste Of We're de We're. " Lady de We're, the only Lady de We're of fact then living. was inclined tc complain that her name should be be slowed upoa the black heartad Lady Clara of fiction
 Tennyson wrote dainty verses. but was not master of dainty manners. He growled: "why should you care? Bri of course you don't I didn't maks your namesake ugly, and didn't make her stupid. only made her wicked"

A strsnuous statesman.

In his Eclipse and o'Kelly" Theo- dore Andrea Cook tells story of the English statesman and sport Fox. He had wagered something about waist coat which could only be obtained in Paris; went of to Dover by night. caught the mail packet. posted tO Par is and back to Calais, and remembered he had a horse racing at Newmarket. He chartered fishing boat bound for the eastern counties, just got to New market in time for the race, took the post back to London and stopped on the way to dine. Tn the middle Of the port and dice after dinner he was caught by g special messenger who had been tearing over half of England iu search of him and reminded that he had to move to bring in marriage bill In the house of commons. He rushed to the stables. reached the house In time to make a brilliant speech in re ply to North and Burke and defeated North on a division by a single vote.

Iy recovered and Mir. Goebel told him about the sucking remedy. Not long after that he was stung again and promptly sucked the wound. It ga him no more trouble than pin prick would have done. Still later he met with the same kind of an accident. applied the same remedy with a Ike result.
 A few days ago an American, new to the country, while working in q ditch on the Goebel ranch, was stung by a particularly large scorpion and was scared into sight of eternity To him such injuries meant nothing but a certain and lingering d
 MP. Goebel happened to be near and directed the application or the suck ing remedy. The patient sucked as he had not sucked for years,
 when he had finished there was only a slight numbness of the finger,
 that was attributed to the remedy rather than to the sting. The maR afterward said that honey bee stings in the East had given him a great more trouble. Mir. Goebel is of the opinion that the poison of any insect or reptile, at least any in this coun- ! try, may be certainly rendered harm less in this way.
 The sucking might not avail in the case of the bite of fer de lance or cobra, whose poison travels through | the system with almost instantaneous rapidity.

FIRE BOYS BALL
 l IS BIS SUCCESS
Seventy-FNe Couples In At tendance Sum of $50
 or More Raised.

The fire boys are pleased with the results of their ball given last Mon day night. Seyenty-five or more couples were in attendance and sun in the neighborhood of $50 was realized for the purpose of building the new tanks which the fire boys are trying to provide for the protection of the town. The opera house was beau tifully decorated with bunting, the music was all that could be desired, and the ball was voted by all present to be a success in every sense of the word.
 The ire boys sometimes think that their lot is hard one. inasTnuch as all they do is for the benefit of some one else. and yet they claim that plenty of people think that all the money they raise goes to their own benefit. There are few cities as large as Bisbee that have not paid fire de- partment, and to expect the boys to make a long run to the fire house, pull the heavy cart by hand to the scene Of the fire and then be in good shape to fight the fire, is a little more than should be expected.
 Considering the amount of property that is exposed to fire here, the eff forts of the department to properly equip the city as a result of their own efforts is deserving of the highest praise of all thoughtful citizens.

PROPOSITION Is STEADILY ON
 GAIN
Looks As If Big Majority of Duey 6 Overlook Creditors Will Accept Settlement Off, cred by Overlook.

Yesterday witnessed the signing of several more of the creditors of the firm of Duey & Overlook of the. agree ment which was entered upon between the creditors committee and l.. J. Overlook several days ago. Reports from Douglas were to the effect. that all of the creditors in that city had signed the agreement
 Just how many of the creditors have signed the agreement could not be learned last evening, but assurances were given that a big majority had done so. In view of this fact, and of the assurances of others who have not yet had an opportunity to sign the agreement, that they will do so before the time limit expires, it looks very much as if the big entanglement which has caused a great deal of sensation and trouble in the city would be soon strengthened out.
 On last Wednesday Overlock's prop osition was published and stated that the creditors would have ten days wherein to either accept or reject the offer Seven days of that have al ready expired. during which time the majority of the creditors have signed, but there are still others who have not done so.
 But little could be learned yesterday in regard to the intentions Of those who are opposing the settlement, as there seems to be no concerted plan of action. It is understood that there are few who have determined to hold out against any settlement unless they get the full amount of their claims, in view Of which fact it seems probable that there will be law suit.
 When seen last evening and asked concerning matters, Overlook said:
 q have made the best proposition that possibly could and I appreciate the action of those people who have shown by signing the agreement that they are willing to assist me in straightening out this unfortunate business in which I have become in volved. The sooner the creditors will give me the right to go ahead with the business and pay them the full amount of their claims, as the profits accrue, the happier I will be-"

 The tremendously rich Barnato brothers of London sent Mir. Hammond to report on their mines in SouL Africa. It was while there that he became associated with Dr. Jameson raid. He was one of the five mer sentenced to be hanged for his setiv ities in Transyaal reforms, and cnlJ escaped by paying s125,0o0 for ais freedom. He returned to London and was sent to Mexico by one of the lafg est English syndieates to investigate the ore fields.

Game Near It.

Wit and humor are such elemental, fundamental things that 1t has all ways been found difficult to aDalyze them. Upon some points, however, those who have essayed this ppzzling task agree, for they all hold that wit is an intellectual, humor an emotional. quality; that wit Is a perception of re- semblance and humor perception of contrast of discrepancy, of incongru- fty. The incongruity is that which arises between the ideal and the fact. between theory and practice, between promise and performance, and perhaps it might be added that it is always or almost always a moral incongruity. In the case both of wit and humor there is also pleasurable surprise, gentle shock which accompanies our percep- ton of the hitherto unsuspected re- semblance or incongruity.

IF BITTEN BY REPTILE
 SUCK THE WOUND
(Phoenix Republican.l )

Justus Goebel has been the agent through which several scorpion stings have lately been rendered quite harm less. Some years ago while in Phila- delphia he was talking to an eminent physician on the subject of rattle snake poison. The physician said that there was actually no danger of death in the case of rattlesnake bite if a very simple remedy was adopted The thing to do in that kind of an accident was to suck the wound wig orously until the blood should come. That would be certain sign that there was no more poison in the sys. tenn. The bite though is frequently not accessible to the victim in which cases some one else should be hired to suck it.
 Some time ago Mexican employed by MT. Goebel was stung by a SCOT. pion and the next morning the arm was swollen to twice it's natural size and altogether the condition of the man was quite serious. He eventual

 Hidalgo was shot in the early days of the war of independence. It Is well known that he asserted on different occasions with the strong frmness of prophet that he was too old to see the end of the fight and that he would De sacrificed before the end. He started the rebellion at dawn on the 16th of September, and for the first days be found no serious opposition on the part of the Spanish troops His first journeys met with great success, and in very few days he was at tie head of large army, and it seemed as If nothing could resist him.
 He attacked Guanajuato and in few hours took the city. He then marched in the direction of the capital, and when he arrived at Las Cruces, in the mountains which bound the valley of Mexico on the southwest, his army numbered more than 100000 men The Spanish troops faced him st Las Cruces, but were defeated.
 Hidaigo could then have attacked the city and taken 1t without great effort, but he turned back, however. Histo rtans have discussed this action, and almost all of them admit that his hesl tasion and his final retirement after victory was q great mistake and re- suited In the continuation of the war for len years longer.
 Still it is said that HidaIgo was nov ed by humanitarian idea. His army 1 had no discipline. It was merely q
 mob that in Guanajuato after the trl- | unph had stalned it's banner with rob
 bery and disorder. He feared that this mob. intoxicated by triumph, would
 fall on the City of Mexico and repeat
 the, scenes ef Guarajuato.
 He retired, and then defeat began.
