to woodshed where Farra had crawled
and fired twice at the wounded dep

the buggy in which the officers had
reached the house and drove to the

wasteful than our fathers and grand
fathers were? Talk about a butter
trust, when there is almost nineteen
pounds of butter per capita of us Der
year. against less quantity in any
previous time since statistics were
made. What becomes of it? We use
more. We can't eat our cake and have
1t too; and we're eating it; all kinds
of it,
From all of which the conclusion
seems not only justified, but enforced,
that we are not only not in danger of
starving, but that we are steadily get
ting more to eat, and eating 1t.
True, we are not selling it; and the
reason we don't sell it, if the authorit-
les are to be believed, is simply that
there is nobody on earth who can af-
ford so we'll as we can, to eat it. We
don't need to sell it. and we like to
eat 1t; so it stays at home, and that's
all there is to it. If we got sufficiently
hard up to need the money, we would
presumably eat less and sell more Of
1t; but being rather flush and of good
appetite, We are taking another course
with our dinner and consuming it at
home

ALABAMA STAYS "WET."
Decisive Majority Against Submission
of Prohibtory Amendment.

Of Prohibitory Amendment.
Birmingham, Ala, Nov 30.-All indi-
cations point to majority of between
25.000 and 27,5O0 in Alabama against
the prohibition constitutional amend
ment, voted upon in this state yester-
day. Chairman j. Lee Long, who has
been in charge Of the opposition to the
amendment, declares that the majority
against 1t will be fully 27,50o.
The early returns indicated a land
slide against the amendment and sue
ceeding bulletins more than bore out
the early indications.
Jefferson county, in which is Birm-
ingham, the largest city in the state,
in spite of the fact that the fight has
been concentrated here, gave a ma
jority of more than 1000 against the
amendment. Mobile, Montgomery and
Cullman counties show the largest ma
1orities on the victorious side and it
appears the amendment has carried but
three counties-Talladeg Macon, and
Sumter, with Lee in doubt,
Belated returns today fail to change
in any material aspect the majority of
nearly $4,000 against prohibition in the
state.

Subjects Seized and Property Confis-
Gated by Zeiaya's Soldiers.
New Orleans. Nov. 3O--A cable from
San Jose Costa Rica. says: Tho
French government has been drawn in
to the Nicaraguan trouble in a way
that promises serious consequences for
Zelaya, as a result of brutal oltra ses
committed on French citizens residing
in Nicaragua. Official complaint has
been lodged with the French consul
general in Costa Rica by F'austino
Montiel, a Frenchman. who declares
that Nicaraguan soldiers seized and
imprisoned him and sacked his place.
Montiei who was manager of farm
owned by NJ. Menier, OF Paris. and
situated on the southeast coast of the
Great Lake of Nicaragua says:
"On the 22d of October last we were
surprised by a large detachment of
troops commanded by a gentleman
called Larios. who we We're told is aide
de-camp of the president of Nicaragua
Immediately both Mr.. Ruinart and my
self We're bound and dragged to the
edge of the lake. where after the mock
cry of a trial they threatened to shoot
us. a threat which they repeated three
times. AS soon as we We're safely IN
the lookup the soldiers returned to sack
the farm, wrestling the keys from the
housekeeper and carrying off all OBJ
jects of value on which they could lay
hands. some of which we recognized
later in Lortuga. We had to regain
possession of our own horses by pur-
chasing them from those to whom
they had sold them. During the opera
tions at the farm the housekeeper was
brutally beaten by Larios, and 1t was
with difficulty that she saved herself
from being killed. They completely
stripped the farm. not taking into ac-
count a French flag which was at .he
time hoisted over tho house.

Senator Elkins renewed his sugges-

American shipping would be to enact
a law giving reduction of per cent

This would not only build up Am

Connell, observer at the United States

Dr. Cook from the recent attack Of

Cooks plan Of having the fewest men
possible in the expedition. and ridi-

manufacture time observation longi-
