Big Boom In Dry Goods Trade.

New York, Feb. 14.-Happiness glove ed in the faces of the jobbers in the drWgoods district. The invasion of the city by 1000 retail buyers from south- ern, western and central states, all bound to purchase new stocks for spring and summer, gave trade such a boom as it had not felt in many months. Wholesalers said that in the last week there had been a general re- vival of dry goods business that was the more pleasing because of its con- trast with the extreme dullness of the last few months. Jobbers and import. CTS who had stocks of dress goods for summer wear were busy with buyers, who said they must have goods quick. ly or their stores would be empty.

SHELTER FOR QUAIL.
Farmers Plan of Growing Sugar Cane
 to Stand During Winter.

to Stand During Winter. William E. McCulley of Macon coun- ty, Mo, thinks he has solved the prob lem of preserving quail. He owns quite large farm, and he discovered that quail were becoming more and more scarce each year. Then he set about studying the cause and came to the conclusion that it was lack of shelter.
 Since then he has every spring plant ed sugar cane along the side of the hol- lows of his farm and permits the same to stand during the winter. It affords quail not only food, but shelter of the kind they like. Other farmers in Boone, Galloway and several other counties of the state have adopted Mir. McCulley's plan, and they think it is just what was needed.
 It is fact that quail will not stay where they cannot find shelter. In many of the best counties there is very little natural shelter left, as every foot of available ground is under cul- tivation. In such localities it has been observed that the quail have nearly all left, and 1t seems pretty well set tied that they will never return unless artificial shelter is provided for them.
 Sugar cane when thickly planted furnishes just what these birds seem to want. They are very fond of the seed, and as the season advances the cane stalks fall down and provide a thick mass in which the quail can hide from their natural enemies-hawks and owls-and also affords a nesting place in the spring and summer

REMARKABLE RECORD

Young Man with New Theory Is Astonish-
 ingly Successful in Minneapolis.

The remarkable success that has at. tended L. T. Cooper during the past year has not been confined to any one locality, but Is so widespread that the young man is now a well-known figure in most of the leading cities of the country.
 Mir. Cooper believes that the stom. ach is the foundation for most i'll health, and claims that his prepara- tion, by regulating the stomach, is a true specific for most diseases. The following extract from the Tribune of Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur prising number of people who are ac- cepting Cooper's theory. The article was one of many that appeared during Cooper's stay in Minneapolis, and is as follows:
 "The sale of Cooper's preparation IS now phenomenal in this city. and an estimate made today seems to indI. cate beyond all doubt that it will equal the large figures reported from Pitts.

 Washington, Feb. 14-The fight of the administration against the Stand. ard Oil company was "only a bluff," Congressman Rainey of Illinois assert. ed in the house of representatives. He did not think 1t was possible to make presidential campaign "on the strength of $29,OO00OO fine and some messages denouncing the Standard Oil" The real way and effective meth. cd of limiting the power of Standard Oil, MT. Rainey argued, was to remove the tariff of 15 cents a gallon on pe- troleum.

 During the past twenty.two days MT. Cooper has been in Minneapolis. the sale of his preparation has aver. aged about two thousand bottles a day. When the amount of medicine disposed of throughout the state is added to this, the amount will be doubled.

nulli6ed every law passed by the
people to regulate it and reduce Its
most crying evils. 1t sells liquors
to miners and drunkards, keeps its
doors open all night, desecrates
the Sunday, debauches the ballot,
cultivates the corrupt politicians,
fosters gambling, thrives on prostl-
tuition aud assignation, 1t attacks
the home through its supporters
the father and brother-and wrecks
it; it takes the children out of our
schools and sends them adrifJ on
the streets; it fills our almhouses and
penal institutes to overhowug and
puts an unbearable burden OF taxes
upon the people; it wrecks mems
mines and destroys their business,
and last of all, but by no means
least, it robs the church of it chill
dren. 1t de6es God, laughs at
His commandments, and converts
the peace and rest of the Lords day
into riotousness, drunkenness and
debauchery. This is the American
saloon, in its true colors, yet,
we have not half painted them
How can we stand for such an in
stltution? 1t must be wiped out.
This is the cry of the heart-broken
mothers of our land. 1t is the cry
of every American patriot who
wants to see a better and cleaner
condition of politics, it is the de-
claration of every clear headed,
pure-hearted, God-fearing man in
the land. And, with Gods help, it
will be wiped out in Arkansas and
every other State where the people
have had their eyes opened to the
true situation.

Physiology teaches that alcoho.
weakens tie mind and destroys the

of the crimes committed are caused
by strong drink, besides it ruins
our character and causes us to fill an
early grave.
God says that no drunkard shall
enter the kingdom of heaven. The
Bible teaches us that we should
shun all appearances of evil that
might betray our souls. We all
know there isn't a person living but
what wants to go to heaven, and IT
we follow drinking strong drinks
we are sure not to get there,

Starting In Life

You are soou to leave and break
away from all the tender ties of
home, and go out to seek your for
tune in the world. Let us whisper
a few words of counsel. We suppose
you wish to be rich; most people do.
We don't think riches desirable.
We should be sorry to have inheri-
ted wealth. But competence is de-
sirable, is indispensable. Well the
way to get it is by forethot to plan,
industry to execute, and prudence
Pocahontas star herald., 1908-09-11

In his address at Fort Smith,
Ark, Rev. Father J. T. Coffey,
president of the National Catholic
Total Abstinence Society said:
Complete Prohibition Would In
iure Nobody.
On the contrary thousands would
be saved from its awful ravages,
homes would be protected, fortunes
secured against dissipation, children
clothed and fed, and more than
half the misery of the world
abolished. The saloon begets drunk
ards, thieves, murderers, faithless
husbands and degraded wives, turns
fathers into brutes and mothers into
the slayers of their little ones.
Abolish the saloon, and you drive
out most these concomitant evils.
Because we like drink, and unfor-
tunately many do like strong drinks
we persuade ourselves that, to be
eonsistant, we must stand for the
saloon, no matter what its evils.
This, of course, is absurd. Many
people do not want the saloon near
their homes, but what about other
peoples homes? We put too much
selfshness in all our public transac-
tions, we use our reason too little.
The saloon is worse evil to the
poor man than to the ricn, and yet
the respectable rich man will tell
you he believes in letting the saloon
alone in the poorer and more neg
lectel iell rhoods. Now, what
has the saloon done for you or for
me that we should let it alone and
not molest il? What has the saloon
done for us that we should vote for
It's continuance in our midst? These
are fair questions, and we ought to
try to solve them IN fair manner.
What has it done for our country,
our homes, our institutions, our
schools, our business, our churches?
There is no more lswless and dis
orderly institution in our midst to-
day. The saloon has defied and

Alabama Coal Miners VIII Return to
Work.


Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 31.-An of
fetal order calling off the strike of
coal miners in the Birmingham dis
trict has been issued to all the camps
in this section. 1t was signed by
President Lewis, Vice President
White and Secretary Treasurer Ryan
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica.
The order ends strike which be
gan July and which has been
marked by much violence. The official
order, after reviewing the history of
the strike, says
"The climax was reached when the
governor of Alabama said that the
miners should not be permitted to
live in tented camps and that public
meetings shall not be held in the min
ing communities of the state during
the strike In other words, the strike
must end, regardless of the cost to the
miners or any rights they have in the
premises"
The end of the strike means that
practically all of the mines in the
Birmingham district will be on non
union basis. No conference between
officials of the union and officials oil
the Operators association were held
in Birmingham. 1t is known. however
that the operators will take back all
the men except those who have com.
mitted acts of lawlessness.
