A MARROW ESCAPE,
Train No. as From Seaside Nearly Meets
With Accident Yestrday.

What might have been serious ac-
cident was narmwly averted yesterday
morning near Lindenberger's cold sto-
rage plant at the foot of sth street.
The railroad roadbed between the
rails Is planked that wagons may drive
over same; the planks running parallel
with the rails, The wagons passing
over loosned one of the planSs and
the end OF II was raised above the
level OF the rails,
Train No. 25 from Scaside due at the
depot at II o'clock a, m. came bowling
along ON time and at the usual rate OF
speed and picked up the plank and car
ried II a distance of about $50 or 200
feet when fortunately the plank was
thrown along the ties the hanges OF the
wheels on the forward trucks cutting
their way through the end OF the plank
and the tr,in passed on without leaving
the track, II appears that as the train
came along colt in the pilot which ex'
tended below the frame caught in the
plank and held il until striking the frog
of the switch on the trestle the bolt
broke and released the plank.
Had the train left the track at the
point at which the plank was released
l. would have gone over the trrstle
which at that point Is 90 feet above the
water and the train would have piled mp
with loss of life that would have been
appalling. The plank was replaced and
firmly fastened AMI everything is in
shape again, None aboard the train
had any intention OF their narrow escape.

FINDS LONG LOST
BROTHER
GIVEN UP AS DEAD AFTER TWENTY
YEARS, ]. D. GRANT, OF SAN
FRANCISCO, FINDS S, W, GRANT,
IN ASroRIA--A HAPPY REUNION.

j. D. Grant, member of the firm OF
Grant Brothers, prominent contractors
os San Francisco, has found brother
in Astoria whom he has not seen in %
wars, and who was given up long time
since by the members OF his family as
being dead in an unknown grave.
IS. w. Grant, citizen of this city,
is the brother whom he located Wednes-
day night, and the former will go to
San Francisco to meet the other mem
bers of his family at the end of next
week
IS. w. Grant, the oldest son, lett the
Grant family home in San Luis 0bispo,
CAL, in 1887 to make his own way in
the world and when his folks last heard
Of him was in Los Angeles. After cor.
responding for some times with the alb
sent member, the family moved to San
Francisco, and from that time until a
few days ago no word came from the
missing man. and the family gave him
up for dead after the silence Of many
years
The old folks passed away few years
ago surrounded by four sons and four
daughters, but there was one face miss
ing and the parents went to the great
beyond without seeing the son whom
they had lost and given up for dead.
Six weeks ago, c. F. Grant, the
youngest son, WIS killed in an automo'
bile accident in San Francisco, A spec
tator of the occurrence said something
to one of the brothers about knowing
Grant in Astoria whom he believed to
be a brother of the victim of the acci-
dent, and the sorrow OF the brothers and
sisters was tempered by the news that
they would probably find the missing
member of the family.
Correspondence was commenced by j.
D. Grant, of San Francisco, with S. W.
Grant in Astoria, and the belief grew
into a certainty that the missing broth
er had beer found. The sisters of Mr..
Grant, while being confident that he was
the much-sought man. insisted that

is There A LUMBER TRUST in MISSISSIPPI?
Retail Lumber Dealers Ask the Attorney General Test the Matter the
Courts and Suits Will Be Filed

A suit that will no doubt attract
general attention, not only in Missis-
sippi, but throughout the country, will
soon be tried in the courts of this
state to settle a question that has
been an open one for some time.
AS yet the suit has not been filed,
but from resolution adopted at the
meeting of the Retail Lumber Dealers
association of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, this will no doubt be done in
the near future. 1t will settle the
question as to whether the association
Is a trust, under the meaning of the
law governing trusts in this state.
The association was reorganized a
year or so atNo under a plan devised
end approved by the ablest lawyers of
the state, who declare that it is OPP
Grating strictly within their legal
rights. Realizing that, until their
right to exist has been adjudicated,
there could be no more or less annoy
ance, 1t was unanimously decided at
the convention in New Orleans on the
18th to take the initiative and request
the attorney general to file suit to
dissolve the association, and thus test
the matter in the courts and settle the
legal status of the association, once
for all. The question was thoroughly
discussed by members during the con.

Jackson, Miss, September 27.-Mis-
sissippi merchants and business men

the numerous activities of the state
branch of the Farmers union, and
fears are entertained that the cotton
planters of the state will soon develop

Having accomplished it's purpose of
raising the price of Cotton, which has
more than doubled since the union
came fnto existence, the organization
Is now rapidly developing into COM
munity movement that will supply
the members with practically every
need. Already the union has arranged
to establish a life insurance for the
benefit of it's $4,000 adherants, and
policies will be written fro each in
sums not exceeding $1,000.
A central market agency is now in
operation, but at present supplies its
members with only the necessaries
Of life. Flour, meat and other food
stuffs are being shipped direct from
jobbers and manufacturers having
contracts with the union, thus cutting
on the profit which formerly went
to the retailers 1t is stated that this
plan will soon be extended to include
luxuries as well as necessities, and
that within few months Mississippi
farmers will buy everything they eat
and use and wear through the central

istence in violation of the antitrust
law, he thinks there may be some
doubt about it, and in order to clear
up this doubt and set the matter at
rest for all time, the suit will be in
stituted. AS soon as the case is de-
cided in the chancery court, it will be
appealed to the supreme court of the
state, and it will be advanced on the
docket SO as to get a hearing at the
next term. Thus the matter will be
definitely disposed of during the next
two months. unless the supreme court
should decide adversely to the lumber
dealers, when, in that event, an APP
peal will be taken to the supreme
court of the United States.
Secretary Harlow, who has just re-
turned from the convention at New
Orleans, in an interview with the Sen
tinel, stated that the sentiment of the
members was unanimous that the mat
ter be tested in the courts, each feel
ing that the association is now acting
within its legal rights. He said:
after careful Investigation by our
counsel, we eliminated every feature
Of our constitution and bylaws that
might be considered at all violative
of the law. We eliminated honorary
memberships, which we found had been
mentioned in one court decision as an
evidence Of evil practice; we eliminat-

was unanimously adopted
Whereas, the attorney general of
Mississippi has conveyed to the direct
ors of this association his intention to

Whereas, this association does not

Des Moines, Ia, September 81
George T. Schlenker, farmer living
near Des Monies, is sore. He is mad
clear through. This much is to be
derived from the tale of mental an.
guish, sad disappointment and blight
ed hopes which he sets forth in a
suit filed in district court, in which
he asks for $3.50 damages from local
seed dealer.
This spring, Schlenker, according
to his sad story, purchased three and
a half bushels of tomato seeds from
the defendant. He devoted several
acres of his richest land to their cul.
ture. Through the months that fol
lowed he worked early and late, val.

division of territory; we guarded
against fixing Of prices; we eliminated
all penalties provided against mem
bers not living up to the terms Of the
constitution; we guarded against the
practice of requiring commissions
of wholesaler and manufacturers on
sales to the consumers.
Our great constitution and bylaws
are based upon the same principle
chat conrtol retail grocer when he
elects to buy from the wholesaler in
his town who does not sell in COMPETE
ton with him rather than to the one
who does sell to consumers. This
principle is as old as commerce it,
self, and has been acted on in every
line of business for many years. All
manufacturers know manufacturers
of machinery, and all other lines are
familiar with this business principle,
and the common practice among all
retail merchants is that they will not
buy from those who sell to consumers
in competition with them. There is
justification in law and morals for
this principle, because it is not right,
it is not just, and more than that, it
is impossible for the retailer to buy
from the wholesaler and manufacturer
and then have such wholesaler or
manufacturer sell against him, and
keep his goods lying upon the

us was not on the job. Visions of
wealth haunted the mind of Farmer
schlenker, as he conjured up hum
dreds of bushels of big, red, Juicy to-

the highest price.
The final chapter in Schlenker's tale
OF woe is almost too narrowing for
publication. The crop, instead Of the
big, red variety, which he had ex-
pected and which he had supposed he
had planted, turned out to be the little

The union now has a dozen organic
ers in the field and is rapidly extend
ing its membership in every county
of the state, until it appears likely
that within a very short time nearly
every Mississippi farmer will be en-
rolled in the ranks.
The leaders in the movement tsate
that 100000 members are assured by
the first of next year. New ware
houses are being built constantly in
the principal contton growing centers
and the union will soon be able to
place in storage all of the cotton
raised by its members, to be held
until such time as the price demand
ed is offered.
AS the membership in each commun-
ity becomes sufficient to support such
an institution, it is said to be the plan
Of the union leaders to establish CO
operative stores, until the entire state
has been covered with a network OF
mercantile establishments.
That the union, conducted, as it is
along sound business lines, could pur.
chase goods in such large quantities

pears likely. The officers declare that

defects that have made failures of SO
