1.-The biggest crowd that ever cam
} 10 Jamestown when there was n
} celebration or anything Of that sort
J was here last Saturday, and a bette
natured, more businesSlike lot 0
people would be hard to find. Thsy
began arriving early, and the town
was full Of teams before O'Clock
and after that hour the problem thai
Iperplexed the visitors was whore ii
find room for tying teams.
ut had been advertised that the
merchants Of Jamestown would give
away three presents on Saturday. and
according to the rules the first gift
was announced at II O'Clock. No.
661 was the number selected by little
Cecil Goodell, and nobody knew, ex-
cept the Great Gabber, who held the
ticket. Mrs. B. B. Carlile came to
town from her home southeast Of
here, with her husband, a little after
- O'Clock and presented ticket sol,
and at ! o'clock at the grandstand
on Third and Walnut streets the fine
White sewing machine was presented
to Mrs. Carlile, with the best wishes
Of the Gabesters.
eat 2 o'clock Emma Kaad was
asked to help the G. G., and she |
picked No. SS1 from the box and the
holder Of this ticket, Mrs. D. Harnett, |
in less than ten minutes and |
was given the bookcase and writing
desk.
eat 8 O'Clock little Lloyd Peterson
climbed up on the grandstand and
was asked to select a number for the
sack Of sugar and he picked No. 1872,
which number belonged to G. E. Ed
berg who lives north of town. Fifteen
minutes having expired without Mr..
Edberg appearing to claim the prize
young Herbert Nelson was called
upon and he selected No. 6S3 from
The box, which ticket belonged to
Mrs. Bert Dotson Of Marysville. Bert

mother number was selected, the
'hoiCe falling on S1S this time, which
vas held by Chas. Rutter, and Charley
vas 'Johnny-on'the-spot' with his
icket and took the sugar home with
lin.
Everybody was satisfied with the
method employed for distributing
hese gifts, and as the rules were
ived up to to the letter, no kicks
we're registered. All the prizes went
ut Of town and in different direc-
Ions, which was luck. Nobody was
ut Of pocket but the merchant, and
hey were well satisfied with the re-
alt Of their experiment"
No expensive campaign was in
ngurated to help this town. ALI Of

The Far1ners' Trust.

The news Of the organization {
western farmers Into two rival st
!, cieties has caused some persons I
see a revival OF Farmers Allisnc
movement. In its present form tn
organizations are in the interest 0
higher prices for all kinds Of grail
through the holding Of crops unit
necessity compels the consumer t
pay. OF course It is o somewhat suS
picious circumstance that the en-
thusiastic organizers are not farmers
but promoters who get 80 much pei
head for new members.
In the current Independent the
president Of one Of these societies
tells Of its great promises and the
magazine has this particularly force
full comment on the movement:
1.-THE American Society Of Equity
is the title chosen by o respectable
element OF American farmers and
sympathizerS, their object being to
organize land-tillers and direct pro-
ducers in such way as to secure
better profits for farm, orchard and
garden. Efforts have been made
to ensure the complete endorsement
and cooperation Of labor unions,
farmers clubs, oranges and, to some
extent, outsiders, and with some
measure Of success. The fundamen-
tai principle advocated is to withhold
crops from market until increased
demand places prices at the option
Of the grower; II this plan could be
carried out completely, we should
have to add, sat the mercy" as well
as at the option, Of the grower. The
article by the president Of this new
movement, published elsewhere in
this issue, informs that the organiza-
ton expects to provide granaries,
warehouses, elevators, cribs, hay
barns, cold storage houses, ETC., for
the use Of farmers, during periods Of
low prices--whiCh we imagine will
be a large part Of the time. The
charge for such storage Is not
but IL will be an item.
The movement is certainly very
attempt at creating a
national produce trust.
1--WE have 10 bear in mind that In
III this world there is no other class
Il people more individualized than
american farmers. They are not apt
o cooperate beyond what they can
themselves oversee; and they have
liled entirely in the way Of stores
nd nearly as completely in the way
| storehouses. Such huge asSocia-
J is proposed would endanger the
roducer quite as much as the con-
inner, and in course Of time would
'cessarily become q power over
yriculture. Repeatedly, on q small
ID on a large scale, the storage Of
ops for the purpose Of securing
CHER prices has failed disastrously.

nsively, but sold In the following 2

CASE TAKEN TO SUPREME COURT.

The case of Frank Phillips against
Fred Eggert and bis bondsmen, which
was tried at the June term of court, and
won by Eggert, the court directing the
jury to bring in verdict in his favor,
has been appealed to the supreme court
and will probably come up for hearing
there next fall or winter. Attorneys for
the plaintiff were in the city Tuesday
the record of the case for
transmission to the higher court. The
action grew out of the failure of Eggert
while sheriff, to hold boat belonging
to the Portage transportation company
in the harbor here, on writ of attach
ment issued at the instance of Phillips.
There was, however, no evidence of
negligence on Eggert's part brought out
in the trial of the case. and the court
directed the jury at the close of the
plaintiffs testimony to return a verdict
in the ex-sheriff's favor. Attorneys
Burke and Cratic and Hougen and
Brady who represent Eggert and his
bondsmen, believe that the supreme
court will on the hearing of the case
affirm the decision rendered here.

THREE INJURED ON FOURTH.

The city's list of accidents on the
Fourth were three in number and but
one of these has proven very serious.
Those injured are Judge j. S. Anderson
who was struck in the eye by portion
of cannon fire cracker which was ex-
ploded near him while he was taking
part in the parade to the Fair grounds.
His eye was badly swollen and inhamed
but it is not expected that any permanent
injury will result.
Chris. Gilbert carpenter, residing
near the Fair grounds accidentally shot
himself in the foot while cleaning an
old shot gun, with which he intended
to celebrate the day. His injuries
necessitated the amputation of a toe and
part of the foot. The accident was
particularly unfortunate at this time as
Gilbert had been laid up seven weeks
with broken arm. The third victim
was Reinhardt Zechel clerk at
Hinrich's pharmacy, who was struck in
the face by ball from roman CO idle.
His face was cut and bruised som What
but the injury is not serious.

DISPOSE OF RESOLUTION.

By vote of thirteen to one the council
at its session on Tuesday evening decid
ed that it did not care to go on record as
favoring the labor union resolution in
troduced some time ago by Alderman
Bruins Before the vote was taken a
rather wordy and very bitter debate was
INDUCED in by several of the aldermen.
The scheme of the resolution was to
place the council on record as favoring
labor unions, and while all of the mem
bers who spoke, declared themselves in
dividually favorable TO such organiza-
tions, none of them, except Bruins, be-
lieved that the city should by their ac
tion he hampered in any way by an
official declaration of allegiance to the
union idea.
The vote was somewhat of a surprise
as the resolution has been up for some
time and has caused considerable dis
cussion.

NOT AFRAID FOR HERSELF.
Chlld's Only Thought Was Of Damage
She Might Do Train.

One day last winter Vermont girl
named Rosa Hines, IA years old and a
farmers daughter, drew her sled to
the crest Of a hill half mile long and
then took a slide. Just beyond the
foot Of the hill are railroad tracks, and
as her sled got under motion she saw
q train coming. She couldn't stop.
and she saw that there must be an ac-
cident, so she waved her hood and
shouted: Get out Of my way! Get out
OF my way. or you'll be run over.'
The engineer saw the girl waving her
hood, even If he didn't hear her words,
and he brought long train Of freight
cars to sudden stop just in time to
let her shoot by the engine. This Is
probably the first time in the history
OF railroading when a girl on sled
was given the right Of way over a
train. When she was afterwards
ocolded by her father she naively re-
plea: "Oh, | wasn't scared for myself
was afraid OF bunting the train of
the track"

NO JOBS FOR PLAIN GIRLS.
st. Petersburg Postoffice Service Al.
tractve, But Not Efficient.

The Slovo of st. Petersburg recent
ly asked its readers: Have you ever
noticed that the lady assistants in
the general post office at st. Peters
burg are almost without exception
good looking" Most people might
consider this mere coincidence, but
that this is not the case is shown by
Miss Petrowa, who writes to the news
paper to tell how two friends Of hers
recently applied for clerkships in the
general post office. After time, the
application papers were returned with
q formal note to the effect that at
present there were no vacancies. The
returned documents, however, re-
vealed marginal notes which had been
imperfectly obliterated with rubber.
One read "She looks to be over 30,
is small, plain and tlabby." On the
other paper in microscopical charac-
ters We're the words: "Old maid.
tall, bony." The Slovo asks what
might have been the marginal notes
on the papers of successful candidates
and who are responsible for them. 1t
adds that the selection of youth and
beauty for this branch of the public
service has by no means improved the
unsatisfactory condition of the gen.
eral post Office.

Prof. Victor Hallopeau OF the Paris
Academy OF Medicine declares that
the best intellectual work can be ac-

tinued, valuable brain work." he says,
Is to cut the night In two. The
scholar, the inventor, the financier, the
literary creator should be asleep every

say two, in the morning. Three hours

RELIC OF SCOTTISH QUEEN.
Enelishman Owns Handbag Once
Property Of Unfortunate Mary.

In the possession of DR.. A. F. Ger
main of Brighton, England, is beau
tiful embroidered little handbag. 1t
Is an interesting relic Of a bygone
time, and figured in a famous scene.
When the unfortunate Mary, queen
of Scots. was led to execution this lit
tie satchel of violet velvet formed
part of the costume she wore. 1t
contained a rare and costly handker-
chief. AS she passed to the block,
Mary took the dainty handkerchief
out and handed the bag to her favor
ite attendant, Lady Jane Douglas. She
cherished it ever after as a memento
Of her lamented queen. The little
bag Is made more interesting and
valuable by the fact that Queen Mary
needlework is very beautiful and rare,
being peculiar to the time of the
beautiful young queen. Until recently
the bag has been in the possession Of
the Douglas family in Scotland, be-
ing kept at Castle Dumfries among
the family heirlooms. A late Lady
Douglas presented It to favorite
brotherin-law, Sir William Watkins
Wynn, and this gentleman, realizing
the appreciation of DR.. A. F Germain
for this interesting relic OF the un-
fortunate Queen Mary, gave it to him,
and it is still in his possession. The
bag is priced very highly by DR.. Ger
main, and he keeps it in a glass case,
with descriptive historical note at
tached to It.

Thieves broke into the dental Offices
of DR.. Huwatcheck in the Williams
Block and DR.. kapitan in the Mendlik
and Mulholland block on Monday night,
and after ransacking both places left
with but a small amount of plunder from
