A Brownie in Fairyland.

The 'Brownies-Teddy Bears will be
found to be really rheritorious oper-
eta, replete with sjing1ing airs and
witty dialogs." There are pretty
marches, singing, sweet voiced CHOIR
uses, beautiful ensembles and artistic
groupings, laughable specialties and
funny dances galore. 80 sszst e s
The little play will be brought to To-
peka through the enterprise and efforts
of the Orphans Home under whose
auspices and for whose benefit, the pro-
auctions are given. Aside from its
sweet charity purposes, the operetta
deserves to be crowned with the laurels
of success, for few professional stage
attractions can equal this jolly musical
spectacle.

THE FARM SOLD WE'LL.
Saline County Man Gets SIP Per Acre
for His Land.

The Tinsley farm. located near Men
tor, was sold yesterday to John Muir
for $4,000. In the farm there are so
acres and the sale represents what is
probably the higheEt nEice ever paid
for Saline county farm land.
The price paid per acre was $112.
Mr. Tinsley, it is said. had had two
previous offers of 500 per acre for his
farm but refused them. Mr.. Muir's
farm adjoins the Tinsley place and his
offer of $112 was accepted at once.
The deal was completed last night

advance sale of seats, there being out
a few good ones left at this time.

famous play here will be notable

will eclipse anything in the way OF
stage craft that has ever been seen IN
this city with the possible exception Of
Ben Hur bat the setting for these
pieces can hardly be compared for they
are so entirely different in detail.
And there is one thing for those who
are going to the show tonight to keep
in mind: The curtain will be raised for
the first act at $40 p. m. and no one
will be seated during the progress OF the
first act. This is as it should be at all
the performances at the Grand. me
ANNOYANCE caused by late corners is
we'll nigh unbearable, but they will be
taught a lesson tonight as 1t is one or
Mrs Carriers inviolate rules that sne
and her audience are not to be disturb
ed by late corners during the nrst acs
and that none of them will be seated
after the curtain goes up. And, bear
in mind. it will go up five minutes earl

Often she will dismiss her carriage

this she has now given UP. Her only

This she calls "Highmount,' and from
the windows of the house there is a
glorious view of the dozen mountain
peaks. The house is large one OF
colonial architecture, part of which is
brick terrace.
Her estate consists Of four hundred
acres, and only the smaller part of the
large estate is laid out in lawns, gar

admirable taste, allowed to remain
wholly "unimproved," is by far the
greater part of the large lands. Still
in it's original wildness, it is crisis
crossed by mountain streams, cleft by
deep ravines, and overgrown with a
network of vines and forest trees that
have never known the woodmen's axe.

COTTON CROP.
Prospects Look Bright for Higher
Prices in the Near Future.


Memphis, Tenn, Oct. z, 1908.
Our Investigations of crop condi-
tions shows conclusively that the cot
ton crop is shorter than our first
estimates. The bear spectators are
trying to make capital out of the large
gin report which was not larger thar
was expected. Cotton was mucl
earlier this season. The drought an,
rust caused cotton to open rapidly ane
prematurely. The fact that the cottor
mills, sewing mills and other publi,
works were shut down gave the farm
ers in the belt all the labor needed fol
early gathering. This coupled witt
favorable weather has enable the farm
.er to keep up with picking.
The cloth supply is very much de
pleted, mills having run on short tims
for twelve months. There was less
cotton for mills at the first of Sep
tember than for years. With another
short crop, considering the increasing
demand for cotton goods we will see
cotton higher in the near future.
In view of these facts we feel justi-
fed In urging the cotton producer to
withhold his cotton from this depresss
ed market After having controlled
two of the largest crops ever produced
the crops. Of 1sO4-O5. 19O5-O6. by hold
ing for fair prices we feel assured
that the farmers win act intelIigentIs
and for this our second short crop In

TO LOCAL UNIONS.

The educational features OF the r.
p. and @. u. Of A., is BY far one Of
the strongest points that appeal to the
average citizen. It means a thorough
preparation to handle the business of
the farmer and fitting him to fight his
own battles on an equal footing with
those in other professions. The wrlr-
er has always emphasized this partic-
ular point when opportunity afforded
as has been done by the lecturers and
hundreds OF others who would see the
union grow to the point Of usefulness
desired By its founders and members.
It has been suggested time and again
that matters of general interest and
Importance be discussed in the local
meetings, and more especially the
handling and producing Of crops. IL
one hour was set aside for the discus
sion OF such matters at each meeting
great good would no doubt be accom-
'plished.
The Department of Agriculture and
Commerce issues monthly am ofhcial
publication called The Bulletin. IT is
endeavored each month to make this
publication general experience meet
ng for the farmers of Mississippi, Civ
ng as much actual experience as pos
'ible. The issue for October deals
argely with two subjects that would
make good ones for discussion by the
local unions. One is the bon weeviI
Ind the methods adopted for combat
ing it. The methods given are by
hose who have been in the work for
years and are undoubtedly good. The
other subject is, pecan culture In Mis-.
sissippi and its possibilities. Several
articles by those who have been in the
business for years are given.
Now suppose that the local unions
take up these subjects and devote
thirty minutes to each in their Novem-
Der meetings. Discuss them from q
local standpoint and see what there is
n them for the farmers of Mississippi:
Mr.. Secretary, consider this matter
and try 1t for one time and see how
it works. Write the Department Of
Agriculture if you do and give an ac-
count Of the meeting, the results ar
rived at, etc. II it is tried one time ii

er insurance. Our proposal to give
cheaper insurance is what arouses the
trust against us.
Now a word as to our reliability
After paying expenses and agents
commissions, we have about $4,000 In
assets, and besides this we have an
emergency fund Of $4,000 subscribed
for the payment of losses. SO far we
have had four fire losses Two of
them have been adjusted and paid
while the other two are so recent that
we have not had time. But they will
be adjusted and paid quicker than
would be done by the old line com
panies.
Some of the best men in the state
are connected with the company, as
are also Henry & Dean, Of Memphis,
two of the most successful insurance
men in the south. Their advice and
experience have been invaluable.
We court investigation, and we as
sure the farmers OF the state that if
they will stand by us and give US their
patronage we will greatly reduce the
cost OF their insurance.
We are organized for the benefit Of

The above named insurance com
pany Is forging to tho front, and is
rapidly becoming one Of the strong
financial institutions OF the state, and
some Of the states pest business men
are connected with it. We are organ

Henry, state Insurance commissioner,
will testify; Yazoo Sentinel.

NJ Al. Mott, Gen. Manager Farmers
Mutual Insurance Co., Yazoo City.
Miss:
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor Of
the 18th inst, relative to the Farm
ers Mutual Fire Insurance Co, home
office Yazoo City, beg to advise that
the company is authorized to transact
a fire insurance business in the state
OF Mississippi under charter APP
proved by the governor and recorded
in the office Of the secretary Of state.
Mutual fire companies do not come un-
der the supervision Of this depart
ment in any sense, nor do their agents
have to be authorized by it,
Yours truly,
(Signed.) T. M. HENRY,
Insurance Commissioner.
The company issued its first policy
on the 24th Of last January, and now
has $606,5O3 of Insurance in force; its
premium receipts to date are $22,115,-
"a and our premium receipts average
over $4,000 week.
Our premium receipts since Sept.
1st, only four weeks ago, amount to
$S,201. 10. We expect by January 1st
to reach the $4,000 mark
This astonishing success has natur-
ally aroused the insurance trust, which
has had Mississippi by the throat for
so long a time, and the agents of the
trust are doing all In their power to
break us down, but their efforts win
be of no avail among sensible people.
The farmers OF the state are aroused
against all the trusts, and when they
realize the magnitude Of the insurance
trust they will loathe it ais they do
others. During the year 1907, as
shown by the official report OF the
insurance commissioner, $2,Sa9, ,27S

The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1908-10-30

Have the merchants and the worllingmen
Of Salt Lake county forgotten the raid which
the Deseret News and several hundred farmers
OF salt Lake county made upon the smelling
industry two years ago. If they have, it is well
that they turn to the editorial Of the News, IN
It's issue of October 81, 1906, which is repro
duced in today's Tribune and reflect on what
this all meant to the commercial interests and
to the toilers of this valley.
Have you forgotten how thoroughly organ
lzed and supported was this movement and
how anxious the general public was as TO the
outcome Of that struggle Don you know that
several Of the smelters were so vigorously pur
sued that they felt that it might be necessary
to withdraw entirely from the state2 Don't
you know that this industry has been intimi-
dated and harassed for years until it is almost
unbearable2
Those smelters in and around Murray and
Sandy were farmed by a set of Mormon farm
ers, much more thoroughly than they titled
their soil The ringleader of all that trouble
and turmoil that threatened the very life of the
city OF Salt Lake and the great mining industry
IN Salt Lake Tooele, Summit and Juab coun-
ties, was John C. Maekay, who is trying now to
succeed himself as county commissioner, backed
by the county and federal machines, and sup
ported with the zeal of q paid attorney by the
Deseret News
If the smeters cannot consume it, (the
smoke), declared the Deseret News, "THEY
WILL HAVE TO CLOSE UP" Further along
the News declared that in case the smelters did
not comply with the demands made upon them
THE FIRES WILL HAVE TO BE BANKED
AND THE NUISANCE SUPPRESSED - Fur
ther along, IN the language Of the backmailer,
the News threatened the smelters that if they
did not yield to the demand Of the farmers, the
courts would have to be appealed to, and, if
necessary, then adverse legislation
