LAYS DRY" DEFEAT TO
VOTES CAST BY STRANGERS
Perry :. Powers. Of Cadillac. Thinks
Lost Territory Will Be Regained
az Next Election

Perry Z. Powers. of Cadillac, one on
The dry leaders in Wexford county,
declares that the "wets" grossly mis-
represented conditions in Cadillac,
which they attribute TO local option,
III the ante-election circulars sent out.
They reported, for instance. that
because OF loca. option Cadillac now
has 81 empty houses 20 empty flats. | i
empty store buildings, one hotel build
ing, one barber shop and an empty
collar factory. These statements are
exaggerated an1 very misleading.
Cadillac has been going along with
llule change for some time, and there
was no backward movement following
the abolition OF the saloons.
"Our defeat in Wexford county was
not due 70 any change In public senti-
menL As a matter Of fact, public SEN
liment is now more strongly in favor
of local option, botd in the city and
the county, than IL vas two years ago,
as an analysis OF tee vote shows. Wo
showed gains botn in the city and
county, but we were beaten by the
votes OF ONE 500 men who first made
heir appearance Ia Cadillac a few
weeks ago and VINO are not there now.
We believe these men were imported
for election purposes and we are go
ing 10 investigate the matter thor
Oughly."
Mr.. Powers is hopeful that the next
election will find Wexford once more
enrolled ia the list of dry counties

Old JEFF. City Shows a little
Life.

Jefferson City, No, Nov. 22.-
Undismayed by the failure of the
fifth amendment, which provided
for a bond issue of $5,000,0O0 to
build a new Statehouse, jefferson
City has buckled on her armor, so
to speak, and is now on the verge
of enjoying all of the privileges
of riding on trolley cars without
having to travel to Kansas City or
st. Louis to do so.
This has been a red-letter day
for the State capitol. Ground was
broken this afternoon for the con-
struction of a street railway sys-
tenn which is designed to not only
cover the entire city, but to afford
speedy and comfortable connec-
ton with the Chicago & Alton and
the NJ. X. & T. railways north of
the'river.
Considerable ceremony attend
ed the ground breaking. Quite n
crowd assembled at the intersec-
ton of High and Washington
streets. Here Mayor j. F. Helm
richs removed a brick from the
street paving and, in a speech, de-
clared that Jefferson City would
be on the real road to progress
and success when the clang Of the
trolley. car could be heard. The
contractors put a force of men to
work and connection with the
railroads north of the river Is
promised by the middle of Janu-
AIRY.
The contractors are Waddell &
Harrington of Kansas City. The
line was promoted by CIV. Thorn
as of this city and will form the
entrance to the State capitol of
one of the electric lines now being
projected from st. Louis to Kan
sas City.

COUNTY CLERKS.
Holding an Important Meeting in
st. Louis.

John b. Graham, Audrain' s new
County Clerk-elect, is attening an
important State meeting of
county clerks in st. Louis. Re-
garding this meeting yesterdays
st. Louis Republic says:
"Justice is denied the poor
man. There are 100000 men in
st. Louis who are forced to sub
NIT to the rankest kind of in
justice and to be manned and Grip
pied because they cannot put up
the money demanded by the court
to sue. They are dependent on
the minds of the Judges and they
are as variable as the seasons,
wind and sunshine, 3" declared
Cornelius II. Fauntleroy, attorney,
in an address before the County
Clerks Association of Missouri
yesterday afternoon.
"The chief purpose of this ses-
sion is to consider bills to increase
the salaries Of the County Clerks, "
reads the program of the conven-
ton opened at the Planters Hotel.
but the members applauded the
argument of the st. Louis attor-
ney for the lessening Of costs of
litigation for the poor. Mr..
Fauntleroy was the invited speak
err of the day.
After hearing the address of the
st. Louisian the convention moved
for the appointment of a COM
mittee to wait on the next Legis-
lature with bills for increasing
the County Clerks salaries. The
first bill to be presented will per-
nit the clerks to retain all fees
earned by them, The second pro-
vides that they be allowed to, re
tain 40 per cent. of their excess
fees, in case the first is refused by
the lawmakers.
The third is that they be PEI.
mitted to retain and not account
for all State fees, of which they
now keep but 10 per cent. and ac-
count for all to the State.

! POULTRY PRODUCTS.
Other Incomes Of the Farm-A
Mighty Showing.

Like the revenues of an empire
are the figures in the new Red
Book for Missouri's surplus pro-
ducts for 1909. The enormous
total of $342, 542, 903, an increase
of almost $2S,OOO,0o0 over the
previous years production, in
cludes only such commodities as
were, during the twelve months
considered, hauled, driven afoot
or shipped to market from the Ia
counties of Missouri.
The largest one item in the vast
array is that for live stock, which
amounted to $136,25O,S5S, as Mis-
souri, is one Of the leading live
stock producers in the Union.
During six years the State has
raised a surplus of live stock to
the tune of 37,926,373 head.
Contrary to expectations, moro
cattle, hogs, horses, mules, sheep
and goats went to market from
Missouri counties than in the pre-
ceding year. The high -. prices
such commodities were obtaining
tempted farmers to. sell as many
animals as they could spare.
The second largest item on the
list is that of farmyard products,
rated at $45, 902,655, and showing
the Missouri hen to be worthy Of
her fame, spread far and near, as
an unrivaled Wealth-prOducer.
The surplus eggs for the year
numbered 14S,730,049 dozens, and
the surplus poultry, live and
dressed, had a total weight Of
30, 304, 1872 pounds.
The values of the two commO-
dities were almost neck and neck
for the season, and each practi-
cally reached the $4,000, 900
mark.
Next to the farmyard products
in value during the year of 1909.
comes the classification of farm
crops, which amounted TO
$38, 462, 756, and included all the
field crops, such as corn, wheat,
oats, hay, flax, rye, cotton, pota-
toes, tobacco, etc.
The figures for the poultry de-
partment is Of wide interest be-
cause this is a product found on
every farm, show an enormous
growth for the surplus during the
last nine years. In 1900 the sur
plus was rated at $12,843,011,
while for 1909 the figures are
nearly quadrupled, with the total
of $45, 9O2,655. The years feath-
ers, in a quantity of 1,695,5S8
pounds, brought $678,235.

THE ESCAMB|A
HOTEL CLOSED
MANAGER OSTEEN GAVE UP
HOUSE YESTERDAY AND BIG
PLACE is NOW WITHOUT A PER-
MANENT LESSEE.

With the exception of his lease at IL
o'clock Tuesday night, Manager Os.
teen, who has for the past several
years been in charge of the Escambia
hotel, relinquished control, and for the
present at least the place is without d
lessee. Mr.. Osteen moved MS efrects
from the building yesterday afternoon,
and the register shows that no guests
had been taken in since Saturday of
last week. Porters have not been
meeting trains for the past several
days, and so far as can be learned,
the house, once the leading hotel of
the place, will remain unoccupied,
with the probability of early being re-
placed by string of fireproof bust
ness buildings.
The property passed from the con-
troll Of the Fisher estate some days
ago, the Bars brothers taking it
over. Up to that time the house was
ready for a new lessee. The pur-
chase, however, according to opinions
from well-defined sources yesterday,
will for the present at least preclude
any good chance Of another lease
being closed, as it is the announced in
tention of the new owners to make
use of the site as a building center,
on which will be placed buildings for
various lines of business.
