AND NOTES
FOR INVESTORS.

In 1880 the farm products of the United
States were worth 81. 200. O0o. 0O0. Last year
they were valued at Sc, 500, 0O,OO0. and they
will be worth much more In 1907. The
total railroad gross earnings in the United
States were last year 1886, 900, 900, or not
much over a third as large as the value
of the farm products.
The Rock Island party, which Is always
a powerful factor in speculation, was
bearlsh, during the first half of the year,
but 1t has now turned bullish. Judge
Moore and his associates are reported to
nave purchased large blocks of stocks
during the past month. In the street they
are credited with understanding better
than any other set of capitalists what the
national administration expects to do.
The bullish attitude of the Rock Islanders
is therefore regarded as significant.
Distillers' Securities has risen seventeen
points in a fortnight, which is travelling
at a pretty lively gait these days, even
for whtskey.
1t was denied as usual that j. P. Nor
gan Intends to reorganlze the New York
city street railway companies. but 1t Is
known on good authority that he has been
buying large mounts of their stocks and
bonds at these low levels.
The American Locomotive Company re-
ports gross earnings for the year ended
June 30 last of 1851 4S6, an increase of
1861, $40. Net earnings amounted to S.
III, los, an increase of only $30S, 800. Never
theless the balance available for the
common stocks after paying the dividends
on the preferred, was 1873 per cent, COM
pared with 17.72 per cent. last year. The
output for the year was the largest In
the company's history.

THE HAND OF DEATH
REVEALS DOUBLE LIFE
special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
London, Oct. 16.-The London pa
pers this week contain an interesting
story of a double life" led by an
American, which was revealed only
by the hand of death. The man in
the case crossed to Europe on bust
ness, leaving his wife in America.
While travelling in France he was
among the victims of a terrible rail
way accident Beside his body in the
morgue was placed the body of an
other victim, a handsome woman,
whose satchel contained some of his
visiting cards.
The authorities, suspecting nothing
irregular, cabled to the family in
America to inform them of the two
deaths. The widow cabled back mere
ly ordering them to send his body
home for burial. A second cable was
accordingly sent from France to say
that a lady had been travelling with
him, that one of his cards was found
upon her, and that her bag contained
letters signed~-~Vith- his .DA1e. dc
sci1prlon of the lady and the nameson
envelopes in her bag were also wired
across the ocean.
A prompt reply came back. The
authorities were instructed to bury
the husband at once, in France, but
nothing was said about the unfortu-
nate woman. They were buried in
French graves, side by side. 1t sub
sequently developed that the woman
had been a lifelong friend Of the be-
reaved family. No one suspected any
thing between the two, but the facts
pointed to a carefully arranged meet
ing in Europe. The letters from him
found among her belongings after
wards fully proved that the laison
had been going on for years. The
man, whose name has been carefully
withheld, is said to have been promi.
nent in the business and social life of
one of the largest cities in the United
States.

they ward off disease and even death in
many forms.
For centuries and centuries this
weird and wonderful cross has been
accepted as the emblem of good luck
Nobody knows where this strange
cross originated. 1t was known long
before the coming of Christ and it was
accepted by all peoples then as the
sign of good fortune.
BY many it is said that the Swastika
cross proves the truth of the Scripture
story that all peoples of the earth once
lived together, and when they scatter
ed to different parts of the globe they
took this mysterious emblem with
them and planted it in the new en-
pires which they founded.
In every corner of the earth vestiges
of the cross are found. 1t is found on
the solid rock of India, it is emblazon-
ed on ancient Buddhist and Brahmin
gods and idols, it is dug up in the
ruins oflPompeli and Herculaneum. it
is found in the caves of the cliff dwell
ers and in the mounds of the mound
builders. Men have found the cross
of pottery which they have unearthed
from the burning sands of Sahara and
they have dug it from the frozen
ground in the mountain fastness of
Alaska and farthest Siberia.
In the large cities men and women
of fashion have it inscribed on gold
and silver ornaments and upon the
silverware they use on their table.
Everyone has at least one Swastika
GLOSS in the household. and everyone
who does not possess a Swastika cross
wants one.-Exohange

WILL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN.

There will be a consequential sequel
to the atrocious murder of ex-Sherif
Brown of Baker City. Those respons-
ible for it have sown the wind; they
will reap the whiTlwind. If never dis
covered, punishment will he their por-
tion Just the same. In life, ex-Sheriff
Brown lashed lawbreakers; in his
death he will scourge them with a
whip of fire. The manner of his death
will be neither forgotten nor forgiven.
1t will have exactly the opposite effect
that the assassins planned. The de-
tonation of their bomb will be heard
to the utmost confines of Oregon. 1t
will awaken echoes that will never be
silenced. With them will be mingled,
not only the death cry of Harvey
Brown, but the message of the cause
in which he was'stricken.
A message is bigger than the lite of
any man, even as decent man as ex-
Sheriff Brown. That is what bodies ill,
not only to his assassins and their kind
in case of discovery, but to the cause,
what ever it may have been, for which
they struck. The hardest blow ever
struck the south was when John
Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln. 1t
brought more woe to the south than
any other single event in the cruel
four years war. Jefferson Davis la
mented it as the greatest misfortune
that befell his stricken people. The
principle in that tragedy is the princi-
pie in the Brown assassination. Time
will probably tell, and may tell quick
ly, from what ranks Browns assassins
came. If it never tells, there will be
always the definite knowledge that
they are of those who are given to law
breaking, and that Brown was slain
because he opposed them and their
purposes. That will be the message
heralded by the explosion, and kept
alive by its echoes. 1t will, with en-
ormous effectiveness, create an ell
larged sentiment for cleansing the
state of the vicious and putting the
public house in order.
Americans admire fair fight in an
open field. They loathe skulking rep
tiles that strike in the dark. To them,

specting victim. Because sacrificed

BIG INCREASE IN CROPS.

Upward of 81 900, 900, 900, 900 more
than last year will be the American
farmers earnings in 1907. Farm
productions this year Will be about
10 per cent less in quantity than in
1906, which was the bumper season.
But the crops of 1907 will fully equal
the average yields for five years prior
to last season.
The preliminary review of the crops
of the year, to be published this week
by Orange Judd Farmer, also empha-
sizes that because Of decreased quantity
and increased price, the leading staples
this season will net over $500, 900, 900
more to the farmers than last year,
while their total gains may be almost
twice as great.
The farmers income for the five
years ending with 1907 promises to be
geater by over $4,000, 900, 900, 900
than during the five years 1897 in
81 usive. AS the vast industrial pros
perity of the past Is years has been
based upon the agricultural revival
which characterized 1897, the
Orange Judd Farmer predicts an even
better era of good times now than in
the recent past, because of these mar
velous gains in agriculture. 1t says:
'"The farmer was never in SO healthy
position as he is today--financially,
socially, politically, mentally, spiritu-
ally. The increase in the value of his
real estate has been prodigious. He
owes less money than ever before. He
has greater assets than ever. Again,
the farmers wants are greater. He is
in the market for more and better
breeding stock, farm implements,
household goods and other merchan-
disc. He recognizes the extra profit
that accrues from the use of better
equipment and better methods in his
business and in his home"
The wheat crop this year will ap-
proximate 625.000,000 bushels, 150,-
100000 less than last year. Corn
promises to be within 5 per cent as
much as last year, and with but two
or three exceptions the biggest yield in
our history.
Th yield of oats will be about IL per
cent less than last year. but there will
be nearly the usual quantity of rye,
barley, buckwheat, tlaxseed and pota
toes. The hay crop will exceed last
years a great deal.
1t is important to note that the
farmers are getting good prices direct
from the harvest fields this year.
whereas ordinarily prices are low in
autumn and advance after the staple
crops are largely out of farmers hands.

WAR ON THE WHITE PLAGUE.

Though the date set for the next in
ternational congress of tuberculosis is
still year ahead, public interest is
being aroused by the National Tuber-
Culosis association, which hopes to
make the coming congress, the first of
its kind to be held in the United States,
more notable than any of its predeces-
sors in the old world. The congress
will bring together many of the most
eminent workers from various coun-
tries who are engaged in the fight
against the white plague, and by di-
reoting attention not only to the grav-
ity of the problem, but to the hopeful
possibilities of its solution, it is de-
signed that this country shall take the
lead in the warfare.
The four preceding congresses have
been held at Moscow, Vienna, London
and Paris. The dates selected for the
gathering at Washington, D. g.. are
from. September 2l to October 12, 1908,
andsin the meantime the committee of
arrangements has entered on a cam
