talked with her mother. Then her
strength seemed to desert her and
she grew weaker till she passed to
the home beyond. She was conscious
up to within Is minutes of the end,
and told her parents that she did not
think she would be able to get we'll.

Sible for their daughter but without
avail. Cora Ness was 16 years old
and a beautiful girl who was loved BY

CARRIE NATION is TO QUIT
Angry at the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, the Famous
Saloon Buster Will Retire.

Carrie Nations friends at Abilene,
Kan, her home, have received infor-
nation that the famous crusader"
is about to abandon her war on sa-
looms. She considers it a thankless
fight, and is angry because the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
at it's last convention refused to rec
ognize her, considering her a mere
notoriety seeker.
Mrs. Nation has decided to pass
the rest of her life in seclusion, ac-
cording to her friends. She *
broken in health and has spent all
her money in her fight, which started
at her old home, Abilene.
Mrs. Nation is Sc years old and
! is a physician, but does not practice.
She has been twice married. Her
first husband died of alcoholism, but
her second husband is a prosperous
attorney, who takes no little interest
in alcoholism morally or physically.
! Sixteen years ago Mrs. Nation was
/ living at Medicine Lodge, the home
of Jerry Simpson. Saloons were run
ming there at full blast. Mrs. Ma
ton put a number of them out of
business by smashing the fixtures,
and put a number of the proprietors
into the penitentiary. Since that
time the liquor traffic there has lam
guished. She next went to KiOwa,
and all visible signs of saloons evap-
I GRATED a short time after her arrival.
Next she went to Wichita which
was said to be free from saloons.
| She helped to free it from saloons by
wrecking the. bar of the Carey
house. She was arrested and placed
in jail. Since then she has been ar
rested for violence a half dozen
times, and has passed time in several
! tails.

COUNTERFEIT CERTIFICATES.
In Columbus a Good Many Bad Ones
Have Turned Up.

Discoveries of counterfeit Column
bus clearinghouse certificates were
made by the cashiers of several local
banks Tuesday when merchants APP
peared to make deposits.
The cOunterfeits, of which some
fifteen have turned up so far, are of
the $40 denomination. The coun-
terfeit is only fair, and upon close
inspection typographical errors are
found. The signatures Of various
Columbus bank officers were cleverly
initiated. The paper is not exactly
the same shade as that used by the
Atlanta firm which printed the certi-
ficates for the Columbus Clearing
House Association, but it was pur-
posely soiled so as to resemble an
old worn certificate.
There is scarcely any doubt that
the certificates were printed away
from home, and it is believed that
the gang of sharpers who passed
them are strangers.
The Columbus Clearing House AS
ISOLATION has decided to call in all
certificates.

P9OHIBI7I0N|STS PUT OUT CANDIDATES?
CUTTING TREES TOKILL SCALE
Calhoun County Peach Grower Who
Defied Order of State EntOmolO-
giSt Now Gets Busy.

An Atlanta special says Dr. J. A.
/ Johnson of Calhoun county has just
been cutting down the peach trees in
his orchard right and left for the
purpose of DISCRIMINATING, if possible,
the pestiferous San Jose scale.
Some time ago the state entomolo-
gist ordered DR.. Johnson either to
spray his orchard for the scale or to
destroy the trees. He refused to do
either. The matter was taken into
the courts, with the result that the
state entomologist was sustained in
his position.
For some reason, however, the
judgment of the court was not
pressed, but the doctor determined
to comply with the decision in part
at least, and it is said he has cut
down and burned something like half
of a large orchard of several thou
sand trees.
This, however, has not entirely
mitigated the evil. The remainder
of DR.. JOhnson's orchard, State Ento-
mologist Worsham says, is similarly
affected, and fruit growers near by
are complaining. If DR.. Johnson will
spray the trees that is all the state
requires, but unless he does that the
state entomolOgist says he will have
to see to the enforcement of the
courts order, which will necessitate
the destruction Of the entire orchard,

WISH The SOUTH TO LET GO |
NORTH WANTS GUARDIANSHIP
OF CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
Griggs Has Conducted Its Affairs in
Able Manner, and Considerably
Reduced Republican Majority.

:
From the Savannah Morning News.
There are some northern demo-
cratic politicians who are possessed
of the very peculiar idea that south
ern democrats are monOpOlizing the
management of the democratic par
| ty. One of these nOrtherners with
queer notions is Representative Ry-
an of the Buffalo, n. Y, district. 1t
seems that Mr.. Ryan has started a
movement to take the management
of the national congressional cam
paign committee out of the hands
of southerners and turn it over to
men of the north and west. Rep
resentative Griggs of Georgia has
been chairman of the committee for
several years, but has asked to be
relieved from further service.
1T is apparent" says Representa-
tive Ryan, that if the democratic
party is to gain control of the house
it's increase must be made in the
north and west. There is nothing
to expect from the south, which is
already democratic and will remain
so no matter what happensg We
know what the south will do. Our
only hope is to get into the north
and west. Southern members do not
understand conditions outside of
their own territory We have al
ready got the south; now we want
to get the north and the west, and
we must have northern or western
men to do it.
Under the leadership of Chairman
Griggs the democratic national con-
gressiOnal committee has seen the re-
publican majority in the house con-
siderably reduced. Judge Griggs has
conducted the affairs of the commit
tee in an exceptionally able manner.
The south has furnished the bulk of
the democratic votes and the majori-
ty of democratic congressman; still
it seems that there are those of the
party who are not satisfied to have
southern men at the head of the con-
gressiOnal committee. Representa-
tive Ryan comes pretty near to eX-
pressing the sentiment of the north
ern section of the party when he
says that the south can be depended
upon anyway, no matter who is at
the head of affairs. Mr.. Ryan doesn't
think it worth while to take any no
tice of the south, in view of the stu
alton. Something should be done to
change Mr.. Ryan's way of thinking.
If the south furnishes the brains and
the votes for the democratic party,
which it does, there is no good rea-
son why it should not furnish some
of the managers and some of the can
didates. There have been sugges-
tions of a southern candidate for
president, and it has met with con-
siderable favor. The Ryan idea,
however, has in view the elimination
of the south from any sort of politi-
cal consideration because it is al
ready democratic, and therefore safe.

WHEN KANsAN STOPS HIS PAPER
Some of the Many Things That Fol-
low in Quick Succession.


The Osborne (Kan.) Farmer said
in a recent issue:
about two months ago one of
our farmer friends dropped in and
stopped his Farmer. He said he
couldn't afford to take the paper and
just had to do without it. He
dropped in again last Saturday and
planked down $3.50 for a year in
advance-and then heaved big sigh
of relief. Everything had gone
wrong since the Farmer ceased to
visit him. His chickens refused to
lay, his COWS got on the alfalfa and
died, and his hogs got the cholera
The rats gnawed holes in his gran
airy and his wheat ran out and the
birds ate it up. His windmill blew
over and killed a horse, and his best
shepherd dog got bone in his throat
and choked to death. His children
got the measles and his wife mashed
her thumb in the wringer and
couldn't do any house work. Thieves
broke into his smoke house and stole
his winters supply of meats, and fire
destroyed several stacks of his al
falfa. He bought groceries of a
travelling fakeT and never got them,
while his neighbOr escaped because
! he read in the Farmer to watch for
crooks. His days were filled with
misfortune and his nights with bad
! dreams. He stood it two months and
then gave up the unequal struggle. -

GETS A LIVING FROM THE WIND
Burlington, Ind, Man Collects Cement
Dust and MoIds 1t Into Blocks.

Dust and Molds 1t Into Blocks.
John Kelly of Burlington, Ind,
once was a truck farmer, making a
bare living. Now he is an opulent
manufacturer of cement blocks with
a nice income and little outlay.
All this is due to the fact that the
wind happens to be blowing Kellys
way, and it is not an "ill wind"
either.
Kelly's home is two blocks from
the cement works of the Illinois
Steel company at Burlington, where
a 100000 plant grinds Stag and
converts it into Portland cement
When the wind blows off the lake
clouds of cement-laden dust envelOp
the Kelly home and the Kelly truck
farm.
The owner, in the hope of saving
his garden green's, recently construct
ed an immense shield of the billboard
type at the rear end Of his lot facing
the cement plant. When the cement
dust comes his way it strikes the
board and falls in pile at the base
of the shield.
After that all that Kelly has to do
is to scoop up some gravel, mix it
with the cement and mould the mass
into blocks, for which he finds a
ready market.
