FROG INDUSTRY.

New Orleans. La. April 2l-The
frog industry. one of the most unique
enterprises OF the country, Ia flourish
ing in this section Of the state, and
the frog hunters earn good daily
wages. During the season, which
begins the latter part of February
and continues until June the frog
hunters are paid from 8 to l5 cents
for their catches, according to size.
A dark night aud a bullseye lantern
are all the equipment necessary for
the frog hunter. The light blinds the
frogs and they are easily caught.
Ono day last week two boys brought
in enough frogs, the result of one
nights catch, to net them $l2. The
total receipts Of frogs for one day last
week tested the capacity of the plant
and carpenters were put at work i'm.
mediately enlarging the quarters for
the IS 900 frogs on hand.
1t has been feared by some that
the rapid consumption Of these frogs
would exceed the supply for the next
year, but the hunters, who are we'll
informed, state that the supply is in.
exhaustible I'm this section and that
frogs are as plentiful as ever, not
withstanding the heavy shipments Of
previous years. The young frogs
however, are protected and will te
ready for the market next season.

The coal mines in this vicinity
are working better now than they
have been doing for few weeks pre-
viously. A lot of coal is now being
mined and shipped east for storage.
When the winter orders come in this
coal will be sold. Under the present
arrangement the railroad companies
can keep the rolling stock busy dur
ing the dull season, the coal com
panies can have their coal hauled
cheaper. and the two will be benefited.

Farmers are experiencing some
trouble in getting seeds into tho
ground. So much rain and snow
keeps the grond 30 wet that the plow
brings 1t up in big Jumps instead Of
finer pieces. When the ground dries
the Jumps are hard to break. The
first few days Of fine weather and dry
soil will witness the farmers plant
ing seed as rapidly as they can In an
ticipation Of more moisture.

The reporter had pleasant talk
the first Of the week with E. M.
Chase Of Chicago, who has made a
brief visit to his mother, Mrs. Chase
Of this city. Mr.. Chase has tray
elled a good deal in Kansas and is
quite an admirer of Carrie Nation
Of Ratchet fame. He says that, al
though outlawed, when she began
her crusade saloons were running
openly in many of the larger places
under a system Of fines with the
conniyance of city authorities. While
she was in Jail she had regular ova-
lions and friends stood ready at any
time to pay her fine but she stoutly
refused the offers and served out
her sentence. He declared that any
sheriff daring to abuse her would
have had an unhappy time in Kan
sas. AS result she drove the city
authorities to take action to close
all the illegal open places for the
sale of liquor. 1t was due very
largely to her that prohibition does
prohibit in the Sunfower state.

Dream.
John Whittet has been threshing
since about the middle of last week.
on the early crops such as rye, bar
ley and oats, and mostly on his own
fields. The result bears out part
of the estimates made by THE GA
zETTE two weeks ago. Barley yield
ed about 80 bushels per acre and
Mr.. Whittet says in his judgment
the tract threshed is rather above
than below an average of the crop.
Our prediction was a fair crop only
of barley. Oats, of which he threshed
two loads for Henry Joerns, went
los bushels which indicates very
good or bumper crop. The rye was
not reported so the yield could be
estimated. Mr.. Whittet confirms
the opinion then formed that there
was some blight in the wheat though
he has threshed none. The estimate
of fair crop of barley, good crop
of oats and a fairly good crop,
though not bumper one, of wheat
then made will hold good from pres
ent indications.

 When the President appointed you minister to China Gan honor unsbught and unexpected by yourselD you accept ed the position at personal sacrifices and your many friends approved the Presi- dents choice. Your intimate knowledge of China and it's people. the wide scope Of your experience in business through out the world and your extensive per sonal friendship with many who hold responsible position in foreign affairs contributed to your fitness for the posi- ton.
 Your unusual discretion, prudence. wisdom and modesty had been demon-e strated to us by an acquaintance ex- tending over 25 years of an active busi- ness and social life So far no conduct of your own has diminished our conf- dence in your fitness.

GoMPERs TO APPEAL.
Labor Leader Thinks Decision De-
 stroys Right of Free Speech.

Washington, October 2s.-samuel Com pers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor who were sentenced by Justice Wright to jail terms of twelve, nine and six months, respectively. for contempt in the now famous injunction proceedings of the Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis, will take an appeal to the United States supreme court in the event the district court of appeals sustains the ac- ton of the court which imposed sentence upon them.
 President Gompers of the federation in an editorial in the November issue of the American Federalist makes this an nouncement:
 "Gompers says that should the supreme court fail to maintain the right of free speech and free press, there is still a higher court-the court of public opinion"
 The editorial says:
 Whatever the decision of the court of appeals may be 1t must ultimately lead to victory for labor, and a victory for labor will mean victory for all the peo- pie. Should the court sustain the sentence it will destroy, beyond question: the right of free speech and free press"
 MT. Gompers suggests that the prin- ciple for which he and his followers are fighting would be defended even though the appellate court should reduce the punishment imposed by Justice Wright
