Aqainst Farmers Union.

Ft. Worth, Tex, Jan.-ln a State- ment issued by D. J. Neill, president of the Texas Farmers Union, it is charged there is a far-reaching and powerful combination outside of the union to get control of it's business af- fairs and usurp the functions of it's of fcers and subyert the true principles of cooperation and turn it to the pro- fit of a few organized conspirators. He says: "A few months ago in Tex as I fought a similar combination down. Now they have invaded other states and propose to capture the cot ton business of two or three states. l am going to the Memphis meeting January and I expect to warn the entire membership and drive those meddlesome grafters to the jungles whence they will never be heard of again. The financial furry that was precipitated early in the fall was pur- posely arranged to defeat and delay the victory of the farmers union of the South and, if possible, discourage them and break down their organiza- tion, The union is not responsible for the banks closing and the money stringency and I know there Is noth' ing that will defeat us in receiving To cents for our cotton but the combina- tion of the money panic and the or ganized power of the exchange gam blers and spectators.

Elopers Discovered.

San Francisco, Jan.-The Call pub fishes an interview with Rev. Jere Rhode Cook, formerly pastor of St Georges church at Hempstead, l.. l., who, it is claimed, left his wife some eight months ago, eloping with IT, year-old heiress named Floretta Wha- ley. The pair have been located, it is stated, at a flat at 1199 Green street, this city, while search has been going on for them all over the country. A child has been born to them during the interval, the rector working as painter and decorator, and when not occupied in that line, doing the hard est kind of manual labor for the sup. port of himself, companion and child. He had, it is said, lived quietly in Los Angeles before coming here after he had left the East.

RAILROAD MERGER
Three Southern Railroads Absorbed By New Orleans Mobile and Chi
 cago Railway.

Mobile, Ala, Jan-It was decided at a meeting here Monday afternoon for stockholders of the Mobile, Jack son and Kansas City Railroad Com pany and of the Chicago and Gulf Railroad Company to transfer their stock in these companies to the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago Railroad Company, recently organized with a capitalization of $60,000. The formal transfer of the properties, it was re- ported, will occur immediately, and by the terms of the transfer the Mo- bile, Jackson and Kansas City and the Chicago and Gulf will eventually lose their identity and will be known as the New Orleans, Mobile and Chica- go. The new company, it was said, agreed to assume the floating debt of the two absorbed railroads, amount ing to $1, ,534, ,z62, according as se- curity the amount par value in bonds and $153,426 par value in stock of the new company. In connection with the business transacted, the posi- tive denial was officially made to a report that the Frisco system is iden- tified with the new interests.

Cooperative Systems Weak.

Advocates of cooperative enter prises point to the great success of a few English societies. Glowing re- ports of how great are the savings to the people Dy these cooperative or ganizations are given. But here the law of compensation plays part. While the cooperative methods are ex- tolled, few who are active in coopera- tive work show the other side of the question: If some cooperative enthusi- ast would dissect the report of the London board of trade, recently made, it would be found that since these CO., operative societies have gained such a foothold more than half million workers in various lines have been af- fected adversely; that those thrown out of employment by cooperative ef- forts are objects of charity and are a burden to the different trade guilds. The substitution of one store for a hundred may mean economy, but when thousands are thrown out of employ ment by the system what other field affords them living?

CAN NOT BE ELIMINATED,
Position of the MiddIemen Secure in
 the Worlds Commerce.

Much is printed in the trade papers men, the jobbers and retailers. Busi- ness revolutionists have taken up the theme, and have aired themselves. Socialistic economists have advocated the annihilation of the middlemen as a class of non-producers. The farm CTS of the country are trying to devise means of doing away with sharks that produce nothing, and make a liv- ing off the labor of others" But the ones who are so desirous to see the middlemen done away with will have to wait for a few thousand years. The jobber and the little storekeeper are necessary in the distribution of products. They are most important parts of the machinery of commerce. To illustrate: A large manufacturing company is located in an eastern city. Its products are sold by more than 200,0 stores. These stores are To- cated in all parts of the United States. Perhaps it costs the concern ten per cent. to have it's products distributed by the jobbers. If the concern at tempted to sell it's products direct to the retailers it would be necessary to carry 100000 accounts.
 There would be required a shipping force of several hundred men. The freight on the small amounts of goods that would be called for would be enor- nous over the cost of shipping in trainload or carload lots. The delay in the transportation of goods a long distance would be costly. Should the company not send goods direct from the factory, distributing stations would have to be established. These would have to be maintained at cost greater than the ten per cent. paid to the jobber for the warehouse charges and the carrying of the accounts, and the employment of travellers. Be- sides, the manufacturer would be com pelled to employ an army of travelling men, or institute a system of trade getting that would be more expensive. The jobber sends out a traveller and he sells a few hundred kinds of goods, the makes of a few hundred different factories Here We have cooperation that is sane and profitable, and it is doubtful whether the time will ever come when the jobber and the traveller will be out of business. The present system is the development of eighteen hundred years or more of experience It is doubtful whether the inventive brain of man can devise any other system of distribution that will be an improvement. Don't worry about the middleman being driven out of the field just yet.

A CANINE CEMETERY
WHERE PET DOGS AND CATS ARE
 BURIED IN STATE.
Poetry and Sculpture Adorn Their Tombstones-Some Epitaphs Read Like Those of Humans-Many
 BuriaIs Costly.

New York.-1n picturesque little spot situated on one of the most beau tiful of the Hartsdale hills lies one of the oldest of cemeteries. The casual visitor here, inspecting the inscrip- tions on the tombstones, would expect to see records of long forgotten gen. erations, perhaps the history of the vil- lage in the lives of it's citizens, but instead the stones contained nothing but inscriptions to dogs, with an oc- casional cat epitaph here and there.
 "Ffdo, asleep" Our beloved fox ter rier Flossie," Dedicated to the mem ory of our pet cat, Smutty." Such a tumble of inscriptions meet the eyes that the visitor begins to wonder whether the souls of Fido and Smutty now rest peacefully side by side or whether they arise at the witching hour to fight out once more their life long battle. In that case even the back fences of Harlem would be preferable to the rural peace of Hartsdale.
 This cemetery, moreover, contains French dogs and French inscriptions and German dogs. And just as human tombstones have little angels on them so these dog tombstones have little puppies carved on them playing with toys. Next to one of the graves the owner has erected a big rustic mourn CTS bench so that he may grieve for his pet in comfort.
 The most elaborate grave is that of bulldog that once belonged to fam fly named Wilson. Besides having big granite stone at the head, it has two little bay trees on either side, and at the foot is little marble trough with three little marble canaries drink ing out of it. The canaries would be more easily explained if it were cat grave, but perhaps this particular bull- pup had feline predilections.
 For six months after he was buried this dog had fresh yiolets or roses

Monument to "Babe."

placed upon his grave every day, 1t Is chronicled. The burial cost the bull dogs owner over $500.
 The grave digger of the cemetery also tells of dogs buried in rosewood or mahogany coffins, some with gold handles, and gold, jewel-studded col lars around their necks.
 You have no idea," he will wander on, "how much money some undertak- CTS make on the side in these deg cof- fins. Often the cofflns are lined with plush or velvet and cost large sums of money.
 And then some people insist on having their dogs embalmed before they are willing to bury them. Of course the undertakers keep that part of their business very secret, but they do it just the same.'
 Many of the dogs that were prize winners in their lively days have all their trophies, ribbons, silver mugs and such things buried with them. Others have all their old collars, whips and playthings, and one woman actual ly buried a Bible and rosary with dog
 Of course I know it must seem very silly" she said in explanation, but it just makes me feel better, so why shouldn't I do it?"
 And do they have real funerals for dogs, with services and so on?" asked the seeker of information of the dig ger of graves.
 Well, no; no real services" he ex- plained, though some of them would like to, guess, by the way they act.
 Sometimes they bring the body up from New York in an automobile. and met it at the railway station with carriages. Only family and friends, you know. There are never very many of them.
 But the way those people act when it comes to covering up the box is well-just about the limit. And the men are not much better than the women, either. I've got a pretty inter esting job, can tell you.
 And most of them come up regu. larly and see to it that I'm keeping the grave in K condition. And on the day of the dogs death they usually decorate the grave with flowers. I can tell you l wouldn't mind being some dogs
 There are now 450 dogs and about 20 cats buried in the cemetery. Plots cost from $15 to s25 each, including a zinc lined box which is dramatically sealed for shipping. This, however, is only the minimum expense for dog funeral, and from this point the price goes up far into the hundreds.

An Organization Era.

This is an age of organization. <" The farmers combine to regulate the markets for their products, the grain dealers and the stock buyers combine to keep prices down, the flour manu- lecturers and the meat packers com. bine to keep prices up, and the job bers combine to hold the combined manufacturers in check, and the re- tailers combine to carry on their busi- ness in a way to gain living and make light the exactions demanded by the manufacturers and the jobbers. The working man combines to protect himself in his work and against the cutting of wages, and so it goes. The struggles of life are many, but can- not they be lessened by having fewer combinations? Will not the practice of home trade principles act in pre- yentative way against combinations?

Powered Cretonnes Good
 For Fancy Work

T never did any fancy work till these lovely lowered cretonnes came in,' said one member of the sewing bee, as she took another stitch in the queer-looking bag she was making. T have to sew on something that gets done quickly"
 That is just what I'm looking for" broke in the associate member, who was reading the latest novel to the others while they worked.
 Put that book down." commanded the active member, land I'll show you how to make pair of cretonne bed slippers this very minute" The girl of the cretonne bag volunteered to lend a yard of material that she couldn't use that afternoon, and the hostess brought forth a common old knitted slipper as pattern. Then the active member cut out pair of cretonne tops by the old slipper and told the associate member to seam them up the back. A lining of plain cotton cloth was cut the same size, the edges turned in and stitched on the sewing machine, and the slippers were ready to be overhanded to pair of cork soles.
 "Now get some coarse linen lace next time you go down town" com. manded the active member, land sew it round the tops"
 It was done so quickly that every girl there resolved to go into cretonne fancy work immediately. At the next meeting one was found making flow. | cred bags for soiled handkerchiefs. A yard of the material was gathered at each end on to an embroidery ring wound with ribbon to match. When the rings were held together the ere tonne formed delightfully."- capacious bag. Another was making small table covers, with centers of the cretonne and a broad border of plain sateen to match the color of the flowers A third was making set of over. | draperies for her sisters chamber win dows, to be hung straight down over the old muslin curtains. Still another had invented a set of bureau scarfs with an edge of coarse Cluny lace.
 And the beauty of it all is that you can do most of it on the machine, ' said the associate member, as she pasted busily at cretonne pillow cover.

ARE KILLERS OF TRADE.
surething Grain and Live Stock Buy CTS lnjure Business of Towns.

MT. Enterprising Citizen, did you ever consider what an influence there is in having your town Recognized as a good grain market, a place where the farmers can dispose of their hogs and all their products at as high prices as paid elsewhere? Were you ever unfortunate enough to live in town where the grain buyer or the hog buyer was a skinflint, and not liked by the farmers?
 There is a county seat in western state, we'll located in a rich district, and well supplied with railroads. A few years ago there were good stores in the town, and it was prosperous place. Farmers came from many miles about to sell their stock and do their trading. There was change in the elevator and in the hog-buying business. The newcomers were built on the wrong plan. They were out after the money, and didn't care much how they got it. The elevator man re- fused to pay what grain was worth. He could find more fault with load of wheat or of corn than any man ought to. He skimped on quality, every kind, no matter how good, was low grade, and the farmers soon found that he was not the kind of man that they wanted to deal with. The new stock buyer was of the same stripe. He would beat the farmer down to the last cent, and it was said that the way he would weigh was a caution, and the fellows who had stock to sell would steer clear of the town. Farmers would drive a few miles fur ther to another town, where they would purchase the supplies that they needed. It got so that whenever a farmer was seen in the town 1t was for the purpose of paying taxes or looking after some business at the courthouse. To-day the town Is a dead one Both the grain buyer and the hig buyer are out of the town, but the farmers got in the habit of trad ing elsewhere, and have not forgotten that the business men of the place, judged of course by the grain buyer and the hog buyer, were skinners. If you are unfortunate in having such men in your town, devise some means of getting them to move to some other place. They can do more harm than a dozen merchants can offset by square dealing.

When he boarded the train for Chica- go he had $200 in his pocket, a gold watch and diamond ring. No money or jewelry was found on the body.

Arson and Murder.

Clarington, O., Jan.-Edward Hutch inson, the B. and O.. station agent here, was robbed and murdered early Tuesday and the station was burned over his head. While the railroad off1- cials will not talk about the case, 1t is said the murderers got away with a large sum of money. The burglars bound and gagged Hutchinson. After taking his watch and money they ran sacked the station. The theory ad- vanced to explain the cold-blooded murder of the agent is that the bur glars recognized him and were recog- nized in turn.

Home Remedies for Minor
 Ills and Afflictions

There are numerous minor ills which appear so insignificant as to render the calling of physician un- necessary, and yet these ills, neglect ed, may in the course of time spread to serious proportions.
 If simple home treatment does not cause the trouble to disappear, then more skilled knowledge must be con- suited.
 For instance, tartar may suddenly hA diseov cred, ip- some craNice-of the teeth. It will appear sometimes in spite of faithful brushing. Should it have collected in any quantity there must be a general housekeeping at first Take an orange stick and dip the end-not too sharp in strong solu- tion of peroxide of hydrogen Git is known by several names-dioxygen hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen dioxide, etc.,. Then dip the wet point in finely powdered pumice stone and scrub the parts till perfectly white. Each morn ing brush the teeth with wash com posed of one part dioxygen and four parts water
 Mouth sores, ulcers, gum boils, etc., create much annoyance at times. Use freely the wash above mentioned. But if a quick cure is desired for an ulcer, drop into the center of it a pinch of powdered alum. It will be bitter and disagreeable for few minutes, but the ulcer will disappear almost imme- diately. A pinch of borax in a glass of water, used as a wash, is also effective and harmless In the meantime, look we'll to the condition of the stomach, where generally lies the source of the trouble.
 Speaking of the stomach, it's disor- ders very often are evidenced by a fetid breath. Should this be from i'm purities or disturbing gases, charcoal will absorb them very effectually Take it in tablet form frequently dur ing the day.
 It is on the chilly days of winter that the frog" makes known his un- welcome presence in ones throat. It is often, too, that husky voice is most untimely, as, for instance, when there is singing or reading or much speaking to be done. Lemon juice is used by some to clear the voice, but its effects are only temporary, and it is rather severe treatment for the delicate membranes of the throat The white of an egg beaten to stiff froth is an old-fashioned but an excellent remedy to relieve such compositions, and if so desired lemon juice may be added to it. Usually cup of hot black coffee is effective. Another remedy Is tablespoonful of glycerine in two ta aspoonfuls of whisky, and, still an other, inhaling the steam from weak solution of ammonia and boiling water.
 For strained or inflamed eyes make a solution of boric acid and warm wa ter, or of hydrogen peroxide and warm water, and bathe the eyes by the use of an eye-cup. A medicine dropper is good for this purpose, though more tedious to handle.
