equine beauty, the fourth annual Sc

form of game of pushball, partici-

''Peter jackson set good example
among the colored fighters, for al
though Peter svas as black as the ace
of spades he tried to dress and behave
like a gentleman. Jackson was no
piker when it came to matter of fine
clothes and good living. He would
buy wine with any of them, yet he was
never boisterous or too fresh, like
some of the coon fighters of the pres
ent day. He seldom talked upon fistic
topics and never mixed in tough So
ciety. AS fighter he was far supe-
rior to Jack johnson in both science
and hitting. But he loved the grape
juice and fell by the wayside."

Adams County.

Adams county's wheat crop amounts
to 3,325,000 bushels against a yield
of 100000 last year. There, the same
as in Lincoln county, about 20 per cent
of the crop is stored, though a greater
percentage of it is already being moved
than in either Spokane or Lincoln coun-
ties, and at least 80 per cent, or 997,-
500 bushels, of it have already been
sold, and 100000 bushels are being
held for 90 and 95 cents per bushel.
A comparatively small percentage of
the Adams county wheat crop seems
to have been held back for the winter S
feed and for next season s seed.
so Per Cent Shipped.
Opinions of Washington wheat deal
ers and growers vary as to the amount
of wheat out of that sold, that has been
moved but as a rule it would seem that
not more than so per cent of the grain
sold mas yet been shipped. 1t is being
moved faster in the western part of
the central Washington district than
in the eastern side, for most of the
wheat this side of Odessa is being held
for the Spokane mills and will be
moved only as fast as they can take
care of it.
Storing is little backward in Adams
county because of the long hauls to the
warehouses, it is claimed, though the
greater portion of the earlier red va
riety which was purchased is already
out of the farmers and dealers way
This is especially true along part OF
the Northern Pacific and throughout
the greater part of the territory EN-
braced by the Milwaukee road.-M. NJ

'WHEA7YIELDBETTER.
STATE Of Washington CROP
THIS YEAR is LARGER.
Big Increase in Spokane County
Adams County Has Nearly 100000
Bushels Storing Is SLOW on Account
of Long Hauls-Greater Portion of
Early Red Out of Way.

Ia spite of all the encouraging re-
ports OF large wheat crops throughout
the central and eastern agricultural dis
tricts of the state of Washington, which
place this year s wheat yield ON an
average of 90 per cent greater than
that of last year, it is now apparent
that it Will not equal that of 1907.
In Spokane county the wheat yield
for this year is placed at 1,s50,000
bushels, while the yield for last year
was only about 100000 bushels. This
shows an increase of $4,000 bushels
over last year, or about SIS per cent.
Approximately 80 per cent of this is
now stored, 40 per cent of it has al
feady been sold at an average price of
So cents per bushel, about 10 per cent
of it is beng kept for feed and seed
and the remaining so per cent, or $685.
600, is being held for prices ranging
from 90 cents to 81 per bushel. With
the grain dealers it is the opinion that
95 cents per bushel will buy the en-
tire crop that is yet held for storage
by the farmers.
Lincoln County's Yield.
Lincoln county, considered one of
the greatest wheat counties in Wash
ington, has yield of 100000 bushels
of wheat this year, an increase of
100000 bushels over the wheat crop
there last year, when the total amount
ed to 100000 bushels. Here much
more of the crop was contracted for
sale by the farmers early in the season
than in any other part of central Wash
ington, and yet 60 per cent of it, or
3,24O,000 bushels is stored.
Forty per cent of the entire crop
has been sold, most of it by contract,
at an average of s61a cents per bushel,
though some of the farmers selling by
contracts made early in the season have
secured as high as 90 cents for their
wheat. Figures show that just about
2,sOs, 900, or 50 per cent of the entire
Lincoln county wheat crop, is to be
held for about 30 cents per bushel. The
remainder is being reserved for seed
and feed.

Saved His Money.

Will Brown, a farmer, who lives
near Arlington, in this county, had a
startling experience, and came out of
it with credit, due to a rare presence
of mind, or else to sheer luck. Mr..
Brown was driving home after dark,
and when he reached Bugg's bridge,
on Obion, north of town, he was hold
ing the reins with one hand and had
the other hand in his pocket clasping
roll of money amounting to $3.50.
just then two negro highwaymen
commanded him to throw up his
hands" and he promptly obeyed, but
when his hands went up, he clinched
that money in his fist, and the high
waymen never saw it or suspected
that he had it. They searched his
pockets and found Is cents, which
was all they got. When ordered to
drive on you may be sure he lost no
time doing so. Clinton Gazette.

A TIP ON CENSUS PLACES.
Cities in Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma Where Examina-
tons Will be Held.

Washington, September. The Civil
Service Commission has selected sew
en- cities in Missouri where examina-
tons may be taken by residents of
the state who are candidates for the
three thousand temporary clerkships
in the United States Census Bureau.
The first of the examinations will be
given October %, but no appoint
ments will be made until the first of
next year. The successful candidates
will be given work at from 5000 to
5000 year and will be allowed to re-
main in the service for from six
months to two years. The cities in
Missouri selected for the examina-
tons are: Kansas City, st. Louis, st.
Joseph, Columbia, Jefferson City,
Kirksville and Springfield.
In Kansas the examinations will be
held at Emparla, Fort Scott, Law
renee, Manhattan, Salina, Topeka
and Wichita, and in Oklahoma at
Ardmore, Enid, Guthrie, McAlester,
Muskogee and Oklahoma City. Ten
years ago when the twelfth census
was taken many of the clerks on the
temporary roll were placed on the

in the case of the Forthcoming Gen.
sus. The Civil Service Commission
announces that none of the clerks of
this census will be eligible to transfer
to the classified service.
