Morgan going abroad it was regarded inevitable that broader mar ket would be made for Steel shares in Eprepe. A Pittsburg house telegraphed yesterday that man with an order for 900 tons in his pocket was followed around by nine furnace men all quot ing the same price.

While this vio- lent rise was in progress, the 1-2 per cent. bonds declined from 56 to 55 Is, which tended to convince many that the stock was marked up for the pur- pose of selling the bonds, which had violent rise Tuesday.

A Political Issue.
The popular sentiment with ref
erence to the Negro has contributed
more than anything else to the COM
Dlete defeat Of the Republican party
IN Oklahoma. and it is for this Dur-
pose that the prejudice Is being fos-
tered and cultivated until now 1t has
"out-Heroded Hercd"
In order to win, the republicans
must have democratic votes. and 1t
has been y question as to what should
be done with the Negro. The fact
that he would bgcOme a controlling
factor in politics in the event the
republicans were successful has caus-
cd many democrats to vote their own
ticket. when they might have voted
the republican and the same way
with hundreds Of Republicans and
independents.

Good Judues.

Americans as judges are keenly dis
eliminating. They measure every
thing by the success it attains, which
method, considered in the light of the
common experience of mankind, is GER
tainly not bad one. The high stan
dard of intelligence and discernment in
this country, where education is the
rule and not the exception, renders it
difficult and surprising to find a gen.
eral national success not based on &C
tual worth. Hence it was that with
the presentation of st. Jacobs Oil they
correctly judged it at once, and de-
cided that rare intrinsic worth only
could be the source of it's success
The decision with them was equivalent
to All adoption; and it is rare thing
to find a family without st. Jacobs
Oil in the house.

With the coming Of spring. squirrels

Early In the season. when their natural
food is scarce. their numbers may be
greatly diminished by a systematic war
fare upon them. Every female killed be-
fore the young are born. reduces the
number OF pests at least ten later on.
"Woodlark" Squirrel Poison is the most
reliable and destructive agent yet devised
for their determination. It is an abso

1t is a matter Of common observation
that grass does not grow SO well close
to trees as in the open. The same II
true Of grains. Experiments In Eng
land and in this country have shows
that the deleterious effects Of the near
neighborhood of grass and trees arS
mutual. The trees suffer as well a.
the grass and grain. This Is especially
true of fruit trees The cause Is az
cribed to the excretion by the trees
ON the one hand, Of substances poison
Gus to the grass, and by the grass, on
the other hand, Of substances poison

the failure of grass to grow well neal

much shade, hor to the exhaustion By
