HISTORY OF
THE union

The Farmers Educational and Co
Operative Union Of Amarica was ilrst
organized Id Emory, Rains county
Texas, il August, 1872. Ten small far-
mers formed the neclues, wrote the
original declaration or principles and
constitution and laid the foundation
for one Of the greatest farmers organ
izations in our day
The original farmers were poor
men, and had to borrow money to pay
for the national charter, printing Of
the constitution and other supplies for
the new organization
The name they gave the new organi-
zation was very significant and wide
in its scope. These ten poor farmers
boldly announced themselves at the
Farmers Educational and co-Opera
tive Union of America.
This announcement astounded theii
closest rfiends and brought forth ridi
cule from the public generally; but
these afrmers pshed forward with de
termination and courage and in spite
Of reverses, opposition and persecu
tion, the little group Of farmers gath
cred strength and power very rapidly
n March, 1904, the first regular stat
( convention was held at Nineola, Tex
and N. G. Murray was elected presl
dent and Newt. Gresham, secretary
treasurer
This meeting impulsed the move
ment everywhere and almost as If b
magic the work spread to other states
On December s, 1905. the nationa
union was organized and now tnirtee
state organizations are at work i
America. The movement has mad
wonderful growth and development

earia. Germany, it is announced at
Berlin, has associated herself with
these proposals and will not counsel
Turkey to go 10 war.
The proclamation of Bulgarian indie
peiIdence was preceded by conflict
between Bulgaria and Turkey over the
Oriental railroad i'm eastern Rumelia
Bulgaria took possession of this line
in September because Of a strike and
began to operate it with her military
forces. When the strike had been set
tied she refused to restore control to
Turkey, which led to n sharp conflict
In spite of the endeavors of the powers
the military forces of both Turkey and
Bulgaria prepared for eventualities.
The action taken by Bulgaria and
Austria Hungary is condemned in Off
cial and diplomatic circles Of London,
but the British government is prepared
to cooperate in any steps which may
be taken by the powers concerned. The
principal purpose is the prevention of
a warlke outbreak.
News no less interesting than that
concerning the act of Prince Ferdinand
is brought in the Vienna dispatches to
the effect that Hungary has de-
cided to annex the occupied provinces
of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Emperor
Francis Joseph has addressed an auto
graph letter to the heads of all the
states i'm which he explains the neces-
sity Of changing the political status of
these provinces.

The special session of the Indiana Leg
islature came 10 an end Wednesday after
noon after the committee appointed by
the House the previous day to investi-
gate charges of attempted bribery of Rep
resentative Knisely by Gov. Hanly and
Senator Wickwire had reported. The
committee exonerated the Governor, but
did not deal as leniently with Senator
Wickwire. saying that if he did what
Knisely charged in his affidavit he was
without any authority for pledging an
appointment for Kniselys vote. When
the substance of the report became known
in the Senate which had fixed 3 :13
o'clock for sine die adjournment, large
American flag was draped over the face of
the clock in order TO conceal the hands
and a discussion of the report was begun.
\ number of the Senators took the
ground that the House had not treated
Wickwre fairly and il was proposed 10
give him a vote of confidence. Wickwire
took the floor and in frantic appeals beg
sed the Senate to order an investigation.
He said the House had neither convicted
him nor cleared him, but had left him
under a cloud that would follow him from
the Senate chamber wherever he went,
unless some action was taken to set him
right. While the Senators were impress
ed by Wickwire's utterances, they con-
fessed that they could not conduct an ex-
iensive investigation with a resolution to
adjourn at a time already passed and with
the House already dissolved under that
resolution, but at the suggestion of a
member committee was appointed to go
over the evidence taken in the investiga-
ton and make a report.

ROBBER A JACK IN A BOX.0
Springs Out When Henry Gibbs


Conccaling himself in the vault of the
office of the w. ID. Allen Manufacturing
Company, 1895 Western avenue, Chicago.
the other afternoon, a thief stole 500
after committing q murderous assault on
Henry Gibbs, the superintendent. The
robber struck Mr.. Gibbs on the head with
revolver when he opened the door of
the vault to get the money, which was
part of the pay roll. Thrusting the super
intendent into the vault and making him
prisoner by turning the combination
knob, the bandit leaped toward the door.
The way was blocked by Miss Barbara
Walters. the company's stenographer, and
Henry Gallagher, the bookkeeper. IF
you raise hand to stop me I'll kill you
BOTH the thief said as he leveled the re-
volver. Springing over a railing. the
robber, who was masked, reached the door
before Miss Walters or Gallagher could
attract the attention of the large force of
employees who were within hearing dis
lance. He ran to Twenty-third street.
where it is thought a horse and buggy
were waiting for him. An examination
was made of the vault and it was seen that
the thief concealed himself there, lying out
OF the light on the top shelf. 1t was pay
day at the factory, and Supt. Gibbs, ac-
cording to- custom. put a satchel contain
ing the pay roll in the vault between /
and 2 o'clock. Three hundred dollars of
the money was taken out to pay off the
foundry men, leaving 500 in the satchel.
At 5 o'clock Mr.. Gibbs went to the vault
to get the money, and as he swung open
the big steel door he was confronted by
the robber

Cooler weather is the handspring of the
moderate improvement in retail ard job
bing trade reported at most cities this
week Additionally helpful features have
been the numerous fairs and festivals,
which have enlarged distribution locally
at many points.
While there are reports of holding crops,
notably at the South, where prices are
much lower than n year ago, the crop
movement is liberal as a whole. Reports
from industries are rather better as a
whole. Good reports come from the lum-
Der trade South and West, and a good
volume of building is going forward.
Election uncertainties are reported af-
fecting demand for iron and steel, bus
cool weather has helped the coal trade
East and West The l1ather aud shoe
trades are reported quiet, with cheaper
grades in most demand. The wool trade
reports the largest weeks sales for over
year past, and from 30 to GO per cent
