Panic in Tobacco District of
Kentucky.

Lexington, KY, March 22-Driven
by panic fears because of the warning
letters and visits of the night riders,
farmers in nearly all of the forty-two
counties in the white hurley tobacco
district are busily destroying their
tobacco beds, and at the present time
less than one-third Of the number of
beds usually planted have been started.
In many counties huge signs have
been erected on buildings and in high
places nearby declaring the intention
Of the farmer not to raise crop this
season.
Realizing the difficulty of making a
living for their families in case the
decision to raise no tobacco is adhered
to, many tenant farmers are preparing
to move to other States, while many
farm owners have placed their prop
erty on the market with the avowed
purpose of leaving Kentucky.
The Murder of Farmer Hughes in
Nicholas county yesterday, and the
raids in Woodford and other counties
last week, have increased the alarm.
In announcing their determination to
go elsewhere the tenants declare that
it will be impossible to subsist from
the proceeds of crops of hemp, wheat
and corn.
In the neighborhood of Mount Ster-
ling many farmers have received
threatening letters with which were
matches, powder and poison, and in
both farm districts and tobacco towns
armed guards have been placed at
threatened points.
Conditions throughout the State are
declared to be now worse than at any
time since the tobacco war began.

fed at once of her husbands death
and will probably reach the city this
morning. In the afternoon the party
will take the train for the former
family residence in Franklinton,
where the funeral services will prob
ably be held tomorrow.
When seen after the tragedy, Mr..
hampton said that his brother-in-law
had been in ill-health for some time
and that he had been exercised over
money matters. He said that Mr..
Babington was not a man who dist
pated in the least, that he was happy
with his family and an active church
member, belonging to the Methodist
church of Franklinton. The family
is prominent and Mr.. Babington was
well liked among business men.
''Mr. Darlington has not been very
strong minded man, and of late has
been much depressed" said his
brother-in-law yesterday. He had no
difficulty that know of except finan-
cially, and this seemed to worry him
greatly. He never threatened to take
his life nor talked about it, but my
wife saw that, she said, he was about
to do something this morning and was
much exercised about him. Mrs.
hampton thought when he went down
stairs he might possibly have gotten
some sort of drug and that going to
the window had fallen out. but there
is no doubt whatever in my mind but
that he committed suicide
The firm in which Mr.. Babington
wa stockholder is doing a general
merchandise business and also some
lumber business in Franklinton. 1t
was stated that Mr.. Babington was
interested in other lumber concerns,
and it is stated that the general busi-
ness depression was the cause of Mr..
Babingtons dependency. The business
in which Mr.. Babingnon was interested
is presided over by his brother, WV.
Darlington, and is said to be in sound
condition.
In speaking of his brothers death
last night Mr.. C. S. E. Babington
said: ''My brother has been in ILL
health for about year, and has suf-
fered considerably from stomach
trouble. We had him go to Magnolia,
thinking that the change there would
benefit him, and he has been there for
about ten days with his wife and
child. Then we wanted him to come
down here, and went up there for him,
intending to take him to my place in
Covinton for rest. 1t was ill-health
more than anything else that caused
him to take his life, although he had
some business troubles which were
not, however, of a personal nature.
It seems to be the general financial
depression that affected him."

Council Bluffs.
PERU PIOw COMPANY COMES

Exceeds THAT Fiesre.

For a little New Years present, Council
Bluffs will give Omaha another implement
house. which will add more than $780, 0 10
the implement and machinery business OF
this city annually.
a. =. Ginncvan, manager OF the Peru
Plow and Implement company. which has
maintained a house in Council Bluffs for
q number OF years. announced Wednesday
that the company will move It's business
TO Omaha and open an office and sample
rooms IN implement Row" The company
now handles the line OF the Peru Plow and
Wheel company Of Peru. H.. and in adj
dition to this. vehicles and implements of
other factories.
When the company moves to Omaha the
agency business win be discontinued and
only the products OF the Peru Pillow and
Wheel company carried. These consist Of
plovs and truck wagons.
The capital stock Of the Peru company
Is $4,000. but Mr.. Ginnevan expects to
do q business Of more than s2OO.ON annually
in Omaha.
The coming of this company adds another
TO the increasing list Of implement houses
in Omaha and gives rise to the prediction
OF the Commercial club that Omaha is
gradually becoming the implement market
OF thG west. Inc business uOne Dy lTlple-
meut houses this year in the city is consid-
erabiy IN excess OF t9,5OO,0O0, though it
was 100000 more last year.
Larger Business I'm 1900.
That the coming season will see the
Omaha implement and vehicle houses do a
business Of close to SIS, OO0,OO is said by
implement men to be almost a certainty.
They have reduced stock, assisted retailers
to Clean up" old lines until 1t is sail
that scarcely a retailer in the state is now
carrying q car load of wagons. The buying
win begin soon after the first Of the New
Year. and Omaha looks forward to a
record year In the implement business.
Houses in Omaha have practically no
boundaries on their trade empire" In the
Big Horn Basin of Wyoming, In the potato
fields OF Colorado; up the Yellowstone
river where the government reclamation
service Is at work, around Billings and in
the sugar beet fields, implements bought
In Omaha" may be seen on many farms,
and they run from humane horse collars
TO harvesting machinery end wagons.
Montana is demanding implements from
Omaha that Jome of the exorbltant freight
charges may be eliminated. To get a
lumber wagon from Illinois common points
costs as high as $50 in freight charges at
points In Montana, and the farmers there
are looking for a near market" such as
Omaha.

Seals 4, Angels 2

1t required ten innings yesterday 10,
the Seals to break up a most interest
ing game in their favor and only the
fact that Hosp let down in the last
two innings permitted the visitors to
get an even break on the series. One
hit was turned into the tieing run in the
ninth and two hits yielded the winning
runs in the tenth, two tallies going up
before the side was retired.
At that the Seals deserved to win.
Sutor twirled in grand form all the
way and held the ball-smashfng Angels
down to four hits and two runs and
clearly outpitched Hosp, who gave
twelve hits and four runs. Sutor famed
seven Angels, while Hosp struck out
only three Seals. Each gave four bases
on balls. Then the Seals hit the ball
SO hard that it Is wonder they did not
score more runs than they did. Mohler,
Melchoir, Berry, Zeider and Williams
got two-baggers, and only one Angel
OalSes, appears in this list. Three
lightning double plays are credited to
the locals, which probably accounts for
the few runs made by the visitors.
Following is the official score and

This league really is revival OF
the league that played out such a sue
cessful season last year with six teams.
While the league will start off with
only four clubs, 1t is expected that at
least two other clubs will be added
before the season is very far advanced.
Among the prospective new members
are the Los Angeles Athletic club and
the Armory Athletic club of Los An
geles. 1t should be understood that
other clubs will be received into the
league IL application is Forthcoming
without too much delay.
1t is not improbable that George w.
Hancock, father of indoor baseball and
now a resident of Los Angeles, will be
elected president of the league If he
can be Induced to, accept the office:
Being an "outsider" and not interested
particularly in the success of any one

of his knowledge Of the game. its ruleS
