progress Is being made, the cotton
output Of Togoland having increased
from only $3.50 in 1903 to $57,500

significant for the reason that the
industry there has also been confined
almost entirely to the natives. In the

leg through the loop at the end of the
cord and turned to look into the dark
hole, where he could hear the eaglets
talking"
Slowly he swung around, bracing his
foot against the rocky wall until he
faced the cleft and could give his at
tention to the nest.
Suddenly, screaming wildly with
rage and fright, out from the dark cleft
came the old mother bird. Like a stone
from a catapult she flung herself at
Williams's face.
Dismayed by the suddenness OF the
attack, Williams recoiled, his foot Slip
ped from the wall, and his body spun
around and out of reach as the huge
bird went past him. He did not escape
altogether scratches, for one claw, like
a knife blade, cut across his cheek, and
in an instant the blood was flowing
from a cut half an inch deep.
Only a few yards did the old eagle
fly, then she wheeled, and with the
speed of an arrow shot once more al
the man hanging at the end Of the rope
| before her nest.
This time Williams braced himself
and with his stout stick ready in his
right hand awaited the onslaught OF
the big bird. His left hand grasped the
rope.
The eagle struck Williams on the
head with her wing and at the same
moment Williams lashed at the bird
with his stick. Such was the fury and
strength of the creature, however, that
the stick flew from Williams's hand
and went whirling through space to
the bottom of the canon far below.

CAN SHOOT RABBITS
It's Not Open Season Yet, But
This Game Is Too PIen-
tifuI.
QUAIL is VERY SCARCE
7. e. POW Frs.

AS long as the hunters abide by the
law and do not shoot quail until the
open season, which begins Nov 10. but
devote their attention to rabbits, it is
not probable the authorities will press
any charges against parties. who tech
nically violate the law by shooting
rabbits prior to that date.
The reason for this is that rabbits
are too plentiful. Prosecuting Attor
ney Ladd stated this morning that if
any one was prosecuted for hunting
rabbits before the 10th of this month,
that it would be because some one
other than the authorities take the in
iative. This statement does not ap-
ply to quail and other game.
Quail. this year are not very plen-
tiful and it is doubtful if many will
be shot. Many farmers intend to pro.
tect the covies on their farms by re-
fusing permits to shoot on their land
These men regard the quail of far
more value than for the purpose OF
sport.

NEW ELECTION Law

Under the new election law, passed
at the last session of the legislature,
it is required that the election boards
OF the different voting precincts pre-
serve all voted and unvoted ballots
and also return these ballots immedi-
ately after the count has been taken
to the official board. In the case OF
the local election, the official board
will hold its session at the city build
ing and will receive all ballots tomor-
row night. after the count has been
taken by the precinct boards.
In returning the ballots. it is neces-
sary that the voted ballots be sealed
up in one package. while the non vot-
ed ballots be sealed in separate pack
age. The new law provides a penalty
for failure to live I'D to this provision.
Under the methods heretofore in force.
it has been customary to burn the vot-
ed ballots Immediately after the count
has been made by the precinct boards.
The non voted ballots were also burn
ed.

West Point. n. Y, Nov. 1.-The fate
of foot ball at the United States Mill
tary academy will be decided Wednes-
day. The death of Cadet Eugene A.
Byrne, of Buffalo, who was fatally in
jured in the game with Harvard
makes it possible today that the sport
will be given a death blow as far as
the academy is concerned. when the
athletic counsel takes up the question
Wednesday.
The abandonment Of the games al
ready scheduled for the eleven this
year, has already been decided on. the
order of Col. Scott. superintendent of
the academy, cancelling the program.
There is still strong sentiment in
favor OF the game, however, and Col.
Scott may uphold this.

he continued for fifteen hours after
his back had been broken, and his

POSTOFF|CE REPORT

That the local postoffice reflects
the progress of this community is indi-
Gated by the regular increase in bus
mess each month over the correspond.
ing month of the year, previous. In
the last four years it is doubtful il
there has been a month when the re-
ceipts fell below the corresponding
month of the year previous. There
may be one or two exceptions, espec.
tally during the panic of 1907.
The month of October was not an ex,
ception to the rule as the receipts for
the month were $3,933.O1. an increase
over October, 1903 of $6SS3S. The
amount of surplus over office expens
es, which will be sent to indianapolis
has not been prepared as yet, by Otto
