soIons Nav End State Job.

For some reason or other there is a
disposition among the legislators to re-
gard the fire marshals office with sus-
picion. 1t is alleged by many that it
is a useless expense and that its 49,
odd months of existence has demon
strated its uselessness. 1t is also
charged that the Office is a political
hotbed and that it was created in or
der that the governor might pay a po-
litical debt in the appointment of
Thomas M. Purtell, who has been in
the states employ in various capaci.

Grave Chargt by Bradford.

Assemblyman Bradford made the
most startling charge of specific ma
ture that has yet been offered. In
substance he said that while he was
running for the assembly, M. c. Ring.
former lobbyist in the employ of the
Northwestern road, brought out an
other candidate for the assembly, who
declared that the expenses of the cam.
paign were of no concern to him. !"
Mr. Bradford further stated that Ring
vainly sought to buy the sGpport of
the Neillsville Republican and Press
with $500 to $500 of Stephenson's
money; and that Ring is said to have
paid $50 to a Neillsville barber to
make him cease talking against Ste
rhenson. Others who appeared in thu
debate were Assemblymen CulbertsoE,
Hughes and Hambrecht.

p.oke the WAGON.

It is tough on the wagon to drive
it over the rough, frozen roads these
days. Especially where the ruts are
deep it is hard on felloes and other
parts. 1t is a good plan to have a
second-best wagon for these times,
and so save the good one. But this
utility wagon should always be a good
solid one, that will not break down on
the WAY TO Town.

That it was merely a miscalcula-

MADE A MILLION ON COTTON
FATTEN BEGAN BUYING WHEN
FUTURES WERE LOW

MANY Brokers Believe the Speculator
Was in New York to Sell Heavy
Line of Accumulated Cotton.
NEW YORK.-James A. Patten
took the train for Chicago satur-
day afternoon, and left Wall street
to figure as to how much of it's
, money he took with him in the shane
of profits on his recent flyer in cot
ton. These estimates varied yester-
day, according to the imagination of
the computator
! The most conservative guessers
placed Mr.. Patterns winnings at ST.
100000. The speculator was non
committal on the subject when a re-
porter saw him in the office of Car
penter BaggOt & Co., where he US
ually makes his headquarters.
My operations undoubtedly show
me a profit said he, "but the
amount of these profits really doesn't
concern the public very much.
should say Cotton, however, is 60
ing still higher; the movement is by
no means over"
Many brokers believe Patten came
to New York to sell heavy line of
cotton which he had been accumu-
lating for months. His commit.
ments, these men declare, were most
~ in the near by options, such as
October and December.
Patten began accommodating cotton
months ago when the options were
selling at S.37 Of course all the
holdings of the Patten pool were not
accumulated as low as 8.37, nor sold
as high as 1852.
1t is entirely possible that Pat
tens individual holdings have been
100000 bales of cotton. A margin
OF 80 bale would have required an
Investment of only 100000, and an
average profit of only SIS bale, al
lowing for in and out trading, would
SHOW an apparent profit of $780,
900.
Patten is a great believer in pub
llclty at certain stages of his opera
tions. He was not publicly bull on
cotton when he began buying last
spring The first time he took the
public into his confidence in his pres
ent operations was when he gave ont
interviews that cotton would 90 to

Judge Poe was equally convinced
that Commander Peary was the dis

When the judge questioned the

were otherwise engaged and the
work of voting in the independence
League primaries appears to have
been left almost altogether to Mr..
Murphy's blocks of fifteen. They
voted early and often, according to
the leaguers. At all events, when
the returns were assembled yesterday
it developed that the straight goods
league ticket had been defeated in
every district in New York county.
Chairman Gehring, who lives in
BOSS" Murphy's own district, was
defeated with the ticket which he
headed.
"It was the rawest job ever saw, 3"
said Gehring yesterday. 1T was an
outrage, and it will not stand.
Chairman Gehring admitted that
the Tammany men had the league
delegates for all the New York coun-
ty and local district conventions, but
added:
1--WE still have control of our city
convention, because we have all the
delegates from Brooklyn, Queens and
Richmond, and we can nominate our
city ticket. This will not affect our
course in the least, and l believe it
will react against Tammany Hall"
1t was believed last night by many
politicians that the new boss of the
Independence League will have the
league nominate all the Tammany
candidates.

FORTUNES IN BEANS.

Are Making Men Rich.
Beans are making men rich in
southern California. The crop of
one county alone, Orange, the last
year sold for $4,000, and from
10000 acres, making an average
gross receipt of $42 an acre. Fifteen
thousand of these acres are all in a
single field on the famous San Joa-
quin ranch. These huge fields in
summer constitute a magnificent
sight. Almost from the waters of
the Pacific to the purple-hued noun
tains lies a vast area of green, cut
into great squares and interesting
roads, which are used as passages
for the bean wagons and threshers
in their season.
With the exception of Ventura
county, which has been engaged in
the industry since the old days of
Spanish rule bean growing is prac-
tically a new industry in southern
California.
