AGRICULTURALLY the past year was the most prosperous this country has ever witnessed, and the prices obtained for the pro- duct were very good. There ap- pears to have been no glut and consequent loss by reason of quantity, but values have been maintained to the present time, with a probability that they will keep so until the next crop ma- lures. The farmer has had no reason to complain this year. Secretary Wilson puts the value of the products at seven billions and seven hundred million dol lars worth, and yet there are
 millions upon millions of acres that have not yet been cultivat- ed. Truly, Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm, and it would be well if we had more farmers. Considering that this almost inconceivable wealth came out of the soil last year
 without much outlay isn't it time to stop talking about the same?

Pennington in Trouble.

Marshal Will Orrell is in receipt of letter from the Sheriff of Barry county, Mo-, seeking in. formation concerning Luther Pennington, who formerly resid- ed here.
 Pennington is now in jail a, Cassville for attempting to shoot his brother-in Jaw, Cleve Sunny, at Seligman on Thursday of last week.
 According to newspaper &C., count of the affair it seems that it was the fault of Pennington a gun that his brother in Jaw is now enjoying an existance on the top side of terra firma. The gun was snapped several times at such range and aim that there would have been something doing had it not refused to fire. Sunny at last got hold of the weapon and clubbed Pennington severely.
 Pennington left here some four or five months ago, escaping from Officer Kirkham, who had him arrested for an attack, on Vester Reeves, who was knocked down with 8 bottle.
 The brother-in Jaw was a rasi : dent of Green Forest when Pen- nington escaped. Later he moved to Seligman. The cause |of the trouble has not been given.

TIME TABLE M. & N. A. R. R.
About the Canning Business

We note from a Rogers paper that the Rogers Canning Co. is advertising now for contracts for products for next seasons busi- ness. They want to contract for 1000 acres of tomatoes and 100 acres of stringless beans. For to- matoes they propose to pay 20 cents per bushel and for beans 35 cents per bushel.
 Seeing this advertiseme nt leads The Tribune to wonder such ad- vance work along the line of contracts would not be of value to the local cannery, and to the people of the community who may be interested. To say the least of it, we think it would be in order for some thinking to be going on in this line.
 We are also made to wonder if it would pay to produce string less beans for canning purposes at Rogers if it would not pay to do the same thing here. The experiment. was made with beans at Rogers last season and the re- suit must have been satisfactory or the company would not think of trying to care for a hundred acres of beans the canning sea- son.
 In connection with the state- ment of acreage desired the Rog- CTS Canning Go. announces its intention to greatly enlarge it's capacity for next seasons busi- ness.
 It would not be necessary for the Green Forest Cannery to en- large in order to do three or four times the amount of busin ess it did last season.
 The local plant ought to put out 100 cars next season and with only a slight diversification of crops it can easily do so, the contracts being made so to keep material coming in right along after the season begins on straw berries.
 If there is any one thing this country is especially good for, it is such a field as is afforded by the operation of canning fac- tory. We have the plants al- ready established. It has been demonstrated beyond peradven- ture that the products can be grown at great profit. Let's all go in together to make next year a great one for the local can- nery, thereby making a period of great prosperity for the town and community.

Lovers in Jail at Berryville.

A special sent out from Eureka Springs tells the following story of a pair of lovers who are now cooing at each other through the bars in the county jail at Berry vile:
 After escaping the vigilance of officers for some time, and wan dering over the country, George Vim is now safely locked in jail at Berryville, and with him is the woman who through love for him defied the law and aided in his escape.
 Vim was arrested some time ago, charged with breaking into his brother. in laws home and stealing a suit of clothes. While incarcerated in the city bastile, Dora Bailey visited him and the two evidently planned his escape, agreeing to meet and leave the country together.
 The girl borrowed a monkey wrench and other tools, by which Vim effected an exit from jail and the two met, as planned, at the East Mountain school house and went out to the Rice place. There the woman hid in the woods during the day and slept in the barn at night. Later she went to Rock House and from there returned to Eureka Springs. Officer Bob Campbell found her soon after her return, and by using the information previously gained, she supposed Vim had betrayed her, and confessed. Deputy Constable Campbell used his best endeavors to learn from the woman of the whereabouts of the escaped prisoner, but all such efforts were in vain, for she would not divulge the secret. A few days ago MT. Campbell heard that a stranger was work ing on the Spencer Hammon farm, ten miles from Eureka Springs, and having also heard that Vim had been seen in that neighborhood, he went out there. He learned at the farm house that Vim really worked there, but was not at home. MT. Camp bell was too experienced an off. cer to get away from the house, and his man fioally appeared. He was greatly surprised, for he thought he had succeeded in throwing the officers off the track by the frequent changes made in his headquarters before final ly locating.
 When he found that the girl confessed to aiding in his ibera- tion, Vim admitted the truth of her statement, but denied that they were to marry, as she claimed.
 beIOre they le1G the Eureka Springs jail, she sent to her grandfather's home for her grip, and this was found to contain a pair of overalls. When ques- toned as to these, she replied that Winn said she must disguise herself if she expected to travel with him, and she thought of donning the overalls.
 The girl had no excuse for her waywardDess, for her grand father, William Anderson, pro- vided comfoftable home and necessaries for her.

CONGRESS AT THE TWO BILLION MARK.
Appropriations Made by This Session Exceed One Billion DoasFacn2
Big DecEstimated Excess of Expenditures Over Receipts
is $60O0O000 For the Fiscal Year.

Washington, D. C.-This Congress
leaves behind a record of unprece-
dented expenditures Coming to
Washington fresh from the scenes of
the financial disturbance of the early
fall, it has pushed the appropriations
for the first session of the Sixtieth
Congress above the billion dollar
mark.
Not so very many years ago Speak
er Reed and his billion, dollar Con-
greSS startled the country. Now the
country has reached billion dollar
sessions, and it takes two sessions to
make Congress.
Not only does the billion dollar SEES
sion follow closely the receding wave
of financial furry, but it comes with
Treasury depleted and facing a de-
felt estimated for the fiscal year at
$50, 100000, and for the current year
ending December 81, 1908, at $780,
100000. The official statement of
the Treasury Department recently
showed an excess of expenditures
above receipts of $53,O18,829.37.
The excess of receipts over expendi-
lures was $58,410,542.53 one year
ago, making difference on the wrong
side of the ledger of Sill, 429, 371.90.
Nearly all the annual supply bills
have received consideration from the
House of Representatives, in which
they originate. Not one has been
passed by this Congress which does
not show a substantial increase above
the amount carried last year. The
increase runs from 100000, added
to the amount of the Indian bill, to
26,000,000 in the annual appropria-
tion for the navy.
Exceeding Last Sessions Figures.
Making conservative estimate,
and adding the actual increases
shown in those passed or under con-
sideration, the appropriations of this
session exceed those of the second
session of the last Congress by $1O4,-
100000. To this sum must be added
the amount in the public building bill
demanded by those having close dis
Ericts, where the judicious distribu-
ton of the contents of the pork bar
rel" helps to turn the tide of votes. A
conservative estimate of the provis-
ions of this bill is $20,O00,0OO.
Added to the increases carried in
the appropriation bills this gives an
aggregate of $124,300, 900, and raises
the estimate of the appropriations

Plan and Scope Of House Of
Governors and What II is
Hoped to Accomplish

1t is proposed that the Governors
of the forty-six States meet annually
for session of two to three weeks to
discuss, consult and confer ON vital
questions affecting the welfare of the
States, the unifying of State laws and
the closer unity of the States as Ma
ton. The House of Governors would
have no lawmaking power, nor should
it ever aspire to such power It's
force would be in initiative, in in
spiration and in influence.
The Governors would seek to unite
on general basis of action on great
questions to be submitted to the Leg
islatures of the respective States in
the Governors messages. 1t would
seem that an august. dignified body
of forty-six Governors, representing
their States, with the lawmaking
power of forty-six Legislatures be-
hind them, should in time become an
inherent part in the American idea of
self-government and a powerful fac
tor for good in the Nation.
