He Assaulted the Officer.

Two detectives, Long" Sauls and
Shorty Hutton called on Mr.. Jackson
to inquire into the report that the negro
was peddling beer, the almost forgotten
beverage which was so common in early
days. They found that the report was
at least true in one particular,-Mr.
Jackson had beer on tap, and picnic
pump attached thereto. The officers
told him he might consider himself
pinched, but he refused to play fair.
Grabbing the pump from the cold, calm
bosom of the key, he swung on Hut
toms nose At the same time Mr. Sauls
reached down and playfully patted Mr..
Jackson on the coco with a stuffed club.
1t would have then been in order for
Mr.. Hutton to bend his six shooter over
Jackson's skull, but Mrs. Jackson butted
in and offered her body as a shield for
her husband. The husband gladly ac-
cepted, the offer. Therefore the officers
had to content themselves with telling
and yanking him to the station. The
Intervention of the woman probably
saved Jackson a trimming suitable to
the occasion.
Mr.. H. D. McCas1in, young man liv-
ing on Jefferson street, furnished little
Sunday afternoon seance. McCaslin
heard that some negro at No. fire sta
ton had insulted his wife. He could
not identify that particular negro, so
he did the next best thing, according
to his code. Filling his hide with red
eye, he charged on the fire station with
two women hanging to his coat-tails
and was busily engaged in whipping the
entire fire force when one of the color
ed men tired of the sport, and thumped
Mr.. McCaslin on the head with monk
ey wrench. When officers Summers and
H. D. Smith arrived on the scene, it was
necessary for them to take McCaslin
down and separate him from a pocket
knife which he desired to use on all
Corners.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Cortelyou has made the important an
nouncement that as means of afford
ing relief to the financial situation, the
treasury would issue $50000,00O of
Panama canal bonds and $100,00O,0 600
certificates of indebtedness, or so much
thereof as may be necessary. The GER
tificates will run for one year and will
bear per cent interest. The secre-
tarys action in coming to the relief or
the financial situation meets with Pres
ident Roosevelt's hearty approval, and
the plan is the outcome OF the several
White House conferences
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford substantial
relief, as the law provides that they
may be used as basis for additional
bank circulation He also states that
the proceeds from the sale Of certiii-
Gates can be made directly available
at points where the need is most
urgent, and especially for the move
ment of crops, which, he says, "if prop
erly accelerated will give the great
est relief and result in the most inn
mediate financial returns"
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness OF the bonds and certifi-
Gates as absolutely safe Investments.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures VIII enable him to
, meet public expenditures without with
drawing for that purpose any appre-
ciable amount of the public moneys
now deposited in national banks
throughout the country.

CROPS TO MOVE FAST.
Banks Have Made Arrangements to
Get Cash to Farmers.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-At a meet
ing held here in the Bank of Commerce
between representatives of the bank,
wheat exporters and wheat growers OF
the Inland Empire arrangements were
concluded which assure the financing
of the movement of the wheat crop OF
the northwest. Immediately following
the meeting orders were sent out to
actually set the wheat in motion at

of the Inland Empire-conservatively
estimated to be worth $50, 900, 900

State Railroad Commission Suspects
Railroads Aid Alleged
Combine.

Olympia, Wash, Nov. 20.-The state
railroad commission is cunning for a
suspected combine of railroads and
warehousemen that is said to be at
tempting to bar out Independent wheat
buyers in eastern Washington, and an
nouncement is made at the commission
Offices that the commission will keep
busy on the work until the combine, il
such exists, is broken up for all time.
In fact, the commission is rather in
clined to force warehousemen out OF
the business of buying grain and into
strictly warehouse business.
What gives ground for the belief
there is such collision between the
warehousemen and the railroads is the
fact that this year the warehousemen
adopted a new and peculiar form of re
ceipt, and at the same time the rail
roads adopted a rule not to supply cars
to Independent buyers unless the same
were ordered through some warehouse
man.
Heretofore warehouse receipts giveI
for wheat simply receipted for a Ger
tain number of sacks and bushels o
grain to be delivered on surrender o
the receipt and payment of charges
This year the receipt reads that thu
wheat was to be delivered lin the orde
in which cars are received"
Immediately following the protest o
the grain growers against this form o
receipt came the complaint from indc
pendent buyers that the railroad
/ would not supply them with cars.
The commission promptly invest
D gated the latter report and was at frs
] positively informed by railroad official
/, there was no such rule, and If an
+ agent had enforced such rule he ha
done so without authority.
