LETTER FROM ED GRANT.

Chicago. Jan. s.
ottumwa Horse Sale Co.
Gentlemen:--There will be no sale
N Bloomington Friday, so l figure that
you can count on good bunch Of
buyers. Would advise you to have a
good run of horses. / will be with
you to buy load Ed. Grant.
And the truth is, we are going to
be worry short on horses. | believe
Grant Is right--that we will have a
lot of buyers. And l want every one
OF you to bring what you have, no
matter If 1t is but one. We will need
them; in fact, must have them. If we
sustain the reputation of the Ottumwa
market. Understand now, prices are
no higher, but there is more demand
than before the holidays, and espe-
clally this week, since there will be no
competing sale on the same date and
we should get an unusual number of
buyers.
My advice is, if you have horse of
any sort that is ready to go. sell him
and sell him NOW. Don't wait for
higher prices, for they won't get high
or, My opinion is that horses will sell
much lower before the daisies bloom
again. and one of these days I'll give
my reasons for thinking that way.
We will begin selling Friday morn

Miner and Co.'s Summary.

Miner and Co.'s Summary.
w. B. Thomas president of the
American sugar Refining company, in
his report to the stockholders, said
that the directors remained of the
opinion that to insure the company's
strength and success there should be a
substantial reserve and that unless
otherwise instructed, the policy of the
board will be to continue as large a
business as possible at a small profit
and to maintain the companies in the
strongest possible position. President
Thomas, referring to the various pro-
ceedings against the company, con-
tented himself with referring to the
effort of Geo. P. Earle to hold the
company liable by reason of the loan
which was made to Adolph Segal. Mr..
Thomas intimated that the complaints
did not seem willing to go to the trial.

STORAGE CHARGE
 ON STATE COTTON
Little Hitch in State Farm Cotton Deal Here-Mattcr Will Be tdiusi- ed Satisfactorily.

Now thai the State cotton is sold and the parties connected With the dealers are all. like Barkis, perfecly willin', still all the rough seas haven been passed yet. The storage company in this city want pay for storage be- fore the cotton is removed from the place. The freight charges are lnclud- ed in the expense account from this olarter. By the conditions governing the penitentiary board no deals may be made and no moneys paid out eX- cept by a very punctillious fashion. Though the cotton has been sold and the parties in this city who bought the cotton would willingly pay part of the purchase money to the storage concern, yet the law demands that no moneys may be paid out in the dis charge of the penitentiary indebted ness, except after such money has been paid into the treasury to the credit Of ithe penitentiary fund.
 Of course. there will be no difficulty 1 in adjusting the matter Of storage charges, but the little hitch in the proceedings demonstrates how it some
 times happens that strict red-tape in- 1 terferes with the greatest facllly III

BASEBALL PLAYER
 GOT TWO YEARS
W E. COzart, Former Pine Biun Base ball Player. Found Guilty "f Forgery at Monroe. Lao

! \ special from Monroe, La, says: :: Crozier, the ball player arrested three weeks ago at Pine Bluff and taken from the team at that place and brought here on charges of forgery,
 was convicted in the district court here last night by a jury. The court this morning sentenced him to two years in the penieentiary.
 His wife and two babies were With him during his trial When Judge Madison sentenced the prisoner this morning it was a most pathetic scene when his wife and babies threw them selves about his neck and pleaded with the court for mercy. The court room was crowded and there was not dry eye in the house.
 Cozart was at one time highly re- spected in Monroe, but in 1903 he forg- ed checks on local firms, and it was on this chagre that he was convicted. Tn the same year that the forgery was committed he was married to Miss FL lis, member of a highly-respected family of Monroe. Six months after ward the couple were separated by the girls mother. He then married a Miss Foster of Florida, and it was she who made the plea for mercy at the hands of the court for Cozart today.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE,
 By Carrier.
THE FARMER AND THE STATE.

The following beautiful tribute was paid to the farm people by James Will son, secretary of agriculture, and in it he gives the farmer a warning it would be well for him to heed:
 "I wish to make a plea for the Amer jean farmer, for I belong to that class myself l believe that the farmer IS Of more importance to the state than any other man, and I think that the fact that the American boy is loath to stay upon the farm of his father is national menace. The nation is becoming aware that there is some thing wrong with our attitude toward the agricultural pusuits.
 'The soaring prices of wheat and beef have drawn our attention to the subject, for the stomach is great educator.
 The time is fast coming when the common people won't be able to eat meat at all and poor people cannot even have pieplant Why is this? Be- cause we have not instructed our boys in scientific methods of agriculture by
