A FAMOUS PICTURE MATCHED
Companion Piece Of a Painting in the
Frankfort Museum Is in
America.

One OF the most UiGely-known col
lectors of old masters in this country
recently has acquired from the Enrich
galleries two for his collecs
ton. These are Portraits of Frau
Urmiller and Daughter" by a Suabian
master Of about 1925, and a Portrait
of a Venetian Lady, by Bernadino
Licinio. (abeut 15401.
Especially interesting In connection
with the example of early South Ger
man portraiture is the fact that it is
the companion piece to a painting in
the Frankfort museum, representing
Herr Urmiller and son. Until four or
five years ago the Frankfort work was
always attributed to and admired as a
Iolbein. The latest criticism, how
ever, has attributed the painting to
some unknown but extraordinary mas.
ter who painted in the neighborhood
of Augsburg in the first half Of the
sixteenth century.
Licinio, whose work consists prin-
cipally of portraits and family groups,
worked during the greater part OF his
life In Venice and indicates the in
fluence of Titan. Examples Of his pic
lures are found in the principal gal
lerics of Europe. The delicacy of out
line, richness Of color and purity of
condition make the picture recently
acquired from the Enrich galleries q
notable example of Licinia's work,

Finish Picking in Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, in a
few and isolated communities,
the picking of Mississippi's cot
ton crop has been brought to a
close, and the next ginners' re-
mort issued from Washington
ought to show practically the
total crop grown during the past
season.
On the face of figures hitherto
issued, coupled with conservative
estimates from persons familiar
with general crop conditions, 1T
is certain that Mississippi's crop
will not exceed 1 100, 900 bales,
against a total Of 1,675.OO0 COM
cercial bales for the preceding
year.
This means a reduction OF
more than a half million bales
resulting from adverse weather
conditions, boil weevil and othe'
elements that were met with
during the planting, growing
and harvesting periods
In figuring the total value OF
the crop, as compared with that
of last year. the increased price,
of course. made amends for the
reduction of yield. Unfortun-
ately, however, many commun-
tiles dill not share in this en-
hancement of value, having
raised almost no cotton at all,
and therefore giving a very
gloomy outlook for farmers as
they approach the next planting
season. 1t a word, the crop was
spotted. The yield in the delta
counties. especially the southern
part of that rich and fertile
region, will be almost normal.
The upper delta counties were
hard hit by adverse weather. In
some of the southwestern
counties, where the weevll was
at work, almost no crop at all
was raised, the yield being from
20 to SO per cent. of last years
yield. Bad weather also played
havoc with cotton in many OF
the northern counties. The
central and eastern counties will
show yields amounting to from
50 to 81 per cent. of last years

Rebuilt In Two Weeks.

snip uOSpltdI III Vic GAiS
Basin there was completed last
week the quickest operation in
ship surgery in the history OF
this or any other country. In
the almost incredible time OF
two weeks a big coasting steam
err, the S. S. Howard, was lifted
out of the water, cut in two,
pulled apart, heightened forty
feet and slid back into the bay
ready for service.
The manner in which the job
was done is the wonder of the
shipbuilding trade. and it is GER
tain that the new method of do
ing this work will revolutionize
the business of repairing ships
on this side of the water. A re-
markable fact in connection with
the operation is that not a pound
of steam was used in the work,
all of the tools, derricks. winches,
saws and hammers being driven
by compressed air or electricity.
It took exactly fourteen days to
finish the job, and the quickest
time on record for a similar job
heretofore was thirty six days,
and the normal time usually al
lowed by marine surveyors is
ninety to one hundred days.
There were no less than $500
men-the full complement of the
plant-engaged in one way or
another on the ship while she
was in the dock. The power of
this big ship hospital wasrecent
ly changed from steam to cleo
tricity at a cost of a quarter of
a million dollars and this was the
first big job under the new con-
ditions. An instance of the
magnitude of the work done
here was that a year or more ago
when the stern of the old Ameri-
can liner, the City of Paris, was
chopped off and her propelIers
housed in, and made part of the
ship proper, instead Of having
the shafts exposed. This job
cost 81, 250, 600. 1t was declined
by all the big shipbui!ders on the
other side of the water, and
after it was completed a Belfast
concern undertook the same job
on the City of New York. The
American workmen who did the
Paris job were exported with
materials to show the BrltlsherS
how to do it.
No less than five high-powered
automobiles were in comission
during the progress Of the JOB
on the Howard and these raced
the workmen to and from their
homes at all hours of the day
and night, when they became
exhausted, as once the ship was
taken in charge the work was
continuous and the time for the
pay roll was taken in seconds.
There were physicians on hand
day and night to minister to the
wants Of any of the men who
were injured, and a full equip
ped restaurant kept them sup
piled with food and hot coffee.

PRONOUNCED GUILTY
IN FEDERAL COURT
High Financier, Who Carried
His Money in Wife's Bustle,
Proved a Perjurer.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 20.-After be-
ing out but a few hours the jury in the
perjury case against J. c.. C~antonwine,
the former Armour merchant, returned
a verdict of guilty on all counts In the
Indictment. The direct charges against
Cantonwine were that in addition to
perjury in his statement to the trustee
in bankruptcy concerning his financial
condition, he concealed $4,000 and al
heged that 1t had been stolen.
Prominent points brought out in the
trial were that CantonWine was at one
time while in business at Armour given
a commercial rating of $150,000, u
that subsequently his credit became
impaired. After his alleged robbery,
September Is, 1908, creditors filed
claims against him a~ggresating $4,000.
He mad been pushing collections hard
in his implement business as well as in
his general store, and the report of the
robbery confirmed suspicion that he
was getting ready for a turn in high
finance In the trial Cantonwine sought
to make his wife appear as the capital
list of the family, and that she being
afraid of the solidity of the banks made
a business of secreting her money
about the house, even going so far as
to use $4,000 in currency to pack her
hustle. C~antonwine also testified that
shortly before the robbery he a sold
tracts Of land to his wife,, relieving her
of her cash and placing it in the store
safe, where 1t was stolen.

Elk Point. S. D.. Dec. 20.-While
Andy Wynn, of Civil Bend township,
vas going home from this city We'd
nesday evening he was struck by the
west bound passenger and instantly
killed. 1t seems that when Mr.. Wynn
was driving past Mike C%onnolly's farm
the wagon tongue broke. He unhitched
his team and started to go home, riding
one horse and leading the other. In
stead of taking the wagon 0 a home
he got on the railroad track and rode
down the track, and as the passenger
came along struck him, killing him and
n of the horses. He was brought to
this city and taken to c. j.. Fox's I'M
~dertaking parlor. Mr.. Wynn was born
in Tazwell county, West Virginia, and
was 45 years old. He leaves a wife and
five children. Frank. Lizzie, Polly,
Lovice and Minnie. He also leaves a
father, Thos. Wynn. and two brothers
and two sisters. The funeral will be
held from his home today.

SOUTH DAKOTA LAND Is
BRINGING HIGH PRICES

Clark, S. D., Dec. 22.-The remarkable
growth of eastern South Dakota in the
last w or three years is evidenced by
some of the sales of farm lands made
in this county in the last two weeks.
One farm sold for SS4.50 per acre with
just fair improvements. Another farm
sold for $6S per acre, which 10 years ago
could lave been purchased for $40 per
acre. The corn in this section averaged
from 40 to 90 bushels an acre and this
been the record for the last five
years. Farmers are beginning to know
that they can raise corn in South Da-
kota with an average yield about equal
to that of Iowa. The government re-
ports for 1908 showed the average weld
of corn in South Dakota to be within
three bushels Of the yield in Iowa, the
anner corn state of the MO

With Ambition to Become

Canton, S. D., Dec. 21.-Word comes
from the Black Hills country that ru-,
NOR is persistent of a plan to substitute
the name Of Charles j. Buell.. a Rapid
City attorney, for that of Chen w. Mar
tin as a running mate for Charles
Burke in the coming primaries.

received with special favor over the
eastern part of the state. withdrew his
nane from further consideration. 1t
