Queer Animal Scarce MANY.

dueeT Animal scarce MANY.
A strange animal that has cry
| like a human in distress is terrify
Ing the inhabitants OF THE Knobs,
the widest district in Clark county
Of Catawba
So far no one has been able tc
catch sight of it, though reliable.
sober farmers declare that there Il,
some animal living in the brush anc
| woods OF the hills that never made
that vicinity it's home before las
month
One night while returning to then
home through "The Knobs" Mr. ant
Mrs. Lester f4oveless heard the plain
tive cries of what they thought 6
human being, apparently the voice
of woman. Nj. Loveless investi
gated, after going to his home near
by and getting his gun.
He could plainly hear the wierd
cries of the creature until within 9
few rods of it, closer than which ii
would not allow him to approach.
He pursued it until it broke and
ran through the brush, breaking it
down SO it's progress could be plain,
ly traced by the noise. Mr.. Love.
less's wife becavle frightened and
called to him from the house, so he
ceased his pursuit.
Several times since Mr. Loveless
and other farmers have heard the
cries of the animal in the night, but
so far it has not ventured near
enough for them to get an idea OF
its form.
Some think it must be panther
that has escaped from some circus
while others think it may be a large
dog, grown wild in the hills which
has learned to howl like a human
but most of the people think it must
be human who has lost his reason
and is now wandering in the wild
country, becoming startled at the
sound of other human voices.
Mr.. Loveless owns farm near
The Knobs" and has lived there
for years, and never before has he
heard any strange sounds coming
from the thicket
The place known as THE Knobs"
is the widest in the country 1t is
too billy and the. ground is of TOO
poor a quality to farm, so acres and
acres of it have lain for years un.
cared for.
1t is one Of the best places in the
country to hunt game and sportsmen
are well acquainted with the local

eoYs AND THE FARM. :

lfTom the American Cultivator)
The surest way to interest children
IN farming is TO let them make little
real money out of 1t: money that they
can call their own and spend in any
reasonable way. You remem Der how
II was yourself. You couldn't see any
run in farming until you begag1p find
little profit in the business. You
became enthusiastic after good sea-
son which gave you chance - save
money. The boys first paying garden
and the girls nice flock OF profitable
chickens will anchor their owners If
anything will do it. A little good ad-
vice will soon start the extremely i'm
portant habit OF saving money. Can
he clear $50 a year? Sometimes Eff
~ dollars placed in a savings bank
every year will amount in 20 years at
per cent to the very respectable sum
OF $l54s,46, enough for good start
in business But the moral and bust
ness training that goes with 1t should
be worth more than the money. A
successful boy is pretty sure 10 be
come successful man. The farm boy
who saves money every year is not
likely to grow into the kind OF men
who fill the poorhouses or live on
their creditors or drift about the
country telling hard luck stories.
They will be too busy being good, sub
stantial citizens and credit TO the
parents who gave them right start.

STOCKS STRONCER'BULc[ IN WHEAT
Recorded observation-disclosures of 2
Cents in December Delivery
Was the Feature.

Chicago. Dec. 9.-WHEAT.-The
bulge of nearly two cents in Deem
Der was the feature of the trading to-
day. The market for that option was
extremely cOngested throughout the
day and offerings were meagre. The
small receipts at all primary points
and the high premiums paid for cash
grain at the leading grain centers OF
the country, contributed to the urgent
demand for the current month. Addi
tional reports of damage to the Ar,
gentina crop by frost prompted lib.
eral purchases of the more distant
options. Late in the session several
leading commission houses took adj
vantage of the bulge in December to
sell May and this caused recessons

Action Ct Bank of England in Re-
ducing Discount Rate Was
Quite a Surprise.

New York, Dec. 9.-The reduction
by the Bank of England of the Off
cial discount rate today strengthened
the securities markets in all financial
centers. The action was surprise,
as the conditions prompting it had
existed several weeks, and the open
discount rate at London had been
about | per cent below the bank rate
for some time.
This discrepancy would ordinarily
exclude the Bank of England from
sharing in the banking profits. Its
measures to force up the money rate
and attract gold to London had ben
at the cost Of a profitable share in
the banking business for a time. To
days reduction serves as notice
that the safeguarding measures have
been more than sufficient. The
exigencies of the British budget rejec-
ton proved less, evidently than an
ticipated.
The lowered bank rate was the
prime factor in the strength of the
New York stock market. The demand
for stocks was somewhat desultory
and spotty The rise in Rock Island
stocks and Wabash preferred caused
a renewal of rumors of the combina
tion of those lines with the interest
secured in the Lehigh by the Rock
Island controlling factors. Amalga.
mated copper and other metals and
industrials responded to the
reports that preliminary details of
copper merger were again going for
ward. The extra dividend by one of
the leading copper producers assist
ed in the strength of the copners.
The volume of trading as a whole
shrang considerably on account of the
activity in steel and other
usual factors of speculation. The
closing tone was strong after the
reaction.

RAISING Horseradish,

The horseradish crop has returned
large profits for the few people who
have made a specially of 1t in a limited
way 1t is not a very hard crop to
grow; the difficulty is to find market
for any large quantity Many of the
facturers who CRATE the roots and be-
come their own travelling s.lemen, Sc
curing orders for the grated and pre-
pared product put up In tubs or bot
ties. There Is constant demand for
the roots in the market, but only for
very limited quantity, and any great
Increase in the supply would bring the
prices too low for profit, Paintings
are started by setting pieces OF root.
taking the side shoots from near the
top of the crown. They are set about
IL inches apart in rows the same al
beets or cabbages. Sometimes they
are planted along with beets which
are gathered by the time the horse
radish needs all the space. The crop
should be grown on rich garden soil
in order to make large, smooth roots
without prongs The crop is very pro-
ductive, yielding at the rate OF $500
worth an acre at usual wholesale
prices. Nobody seems to have been
able to find large enough market TO
warrant large paintings. The slips fol-
setting are sold at about 81 thousand
They are all gathered when the roots
are dug in October, and buried in the
sand over winter, being ready to set
about the middle of April

THE MOVEMENT is WIDESPREAD
strike Of Sugar Plantation Laborers
Part Of Plan to Wrest Control
Of Affairs From White
Residents.

Honolulu, June 12.-Evldence Of
what the authorities claim Is Q CON
certed movement on the part Of the
japanese Of the Hawaiian group to
control the sugar industry and thus
dominate the internal afSairs OF the
Islands through their number and pow.
Or, was disclosed when the once OF
the "JiN" a Japanese newspaper Of
Honolulu and tbs Offices Of the jap
anese Higher Wage association were
entered by officers armed with search
warrants and letters, reports and 9th.
or documents seized.
Following the connscation Of the
papers, and application for a writ Of
habeas corpus entered In behalf Of
Maxine, Negoro and Sega, the three
alleged leaders Of the sugar planta-
ton strikes who were taken into cue
tody was rejected by the court.
1t Is claimed by the authorities that
the papers found indicate that . con-
spiracy OF q widespread nature has
been formed among the Japanese Of
the island to wrest control Of affairs
from the white residents and conduct
the internal government in their own
interests.
The letters and reports found in the
once Of the Higher Wage association
which a. indicated by Its name has
the financial betterment of the Jap
anese laborers aS its object, are from
members and agents Of the associa-
ton in various parts Of the islands.
They express the belief that the strike
Of the Japanese plantation workers Of
fers an opportunity for the Japanese
Of the islands by virtue Of their num-
bers, to demonstrate their power to
control the sugar industry, and.
through 1t, the general affairs Of THE
Islands. The determination to SO con.
troll, 1t Is stated, is reiterated again
in these documents.
An appeal to all Japaneses, In the
name Of their native country, to aid
In this movement, Is said to be con.
veyed in the letters. The authorities
are preparing complete translations Of
all the papers seized and It Is stated
that they will be used as evidence in
support Of many charges Of conspiracy
which 1t is declared, will result from
the disclosures.
