TOO MANY OYSTERS.
Has Not Seen the Like in Many
Years. Prices Low. Supply Greater
Than Demand.

A thorough inspection by officials of
Virginia's $500 square miles of oys-
ter territory since the season came on
in September discloses the fact that
more ordinary and patent tongers and
more dredge boats are at work than
for years. The catch of oysters is also
phenominally large, possibly the great
est in twenty years. and in most places
they are exceptionally fat From the
Potomac to the James it is a busy
scene. More than a thousand boats
large ones), with from four to ten
men apiece. are dredging the Potomac
bottoms, while an equal number OF
small boats. with from one to -four
men. are longing on the rocks of the
James. The Potomac dredgers, for the
most part, are using gasoline motors
for wiuders.
The supply is greater than the de.
mand, and Virginia's fine bivalves are
going at song-l5, 25, 80 and 40 cents
per bushel being the prices, according
to grade.

KEEP your eye on the date
November eight-and turn out
to the election. We have a Con-
gresham to elect, and a vote ON
TOUR Constitutional amendments.
The former, OF course. is our
present Representative, Hon. w.
a. Jones, who will be returned
after rounding out twenty years.
The amendments, briefly put. are
Extension of the legislative ses-
sion to 80 days; reading of bills
before the legislature in full and
on separate days; county and
city treasurers eligible to succeed
themselves; Commissioners of
revenue ditto. We have never
kept our views hidden; therefore
the CITIZEN is against all but the
Commissioners of Revenue propo-
sition, and on that we are not
very strong. We should saw vote
against the first three. and. if in
doubt. vote against all of them.

The corridors were jammed long
before the time for the trial, and
nolice were hurried TO the court
room to prevent disorder The jam
became so great that the police we're
forced to use strenuous measures
before order could be restored.
The women endeavored to rush the
bluecoats, and force their way into
the court room. 1t was feared that
some Of them would be severely In
1ured in the crush, but the officers
finally forced the leaders back and
the corridors we're cleared.
Mrs. Doxey who alleged that she
was married to Erder while at the
same time the wife Of DR.. Loren
Doxey, Of Columbus, Neb., was ex-
pected today to tell the whole story
of her relations with Erder. 1t was
determined definitely late yesterday
that she would be put on the stand in
her own behalf, and the announce
ment OF this decision brought the
freDzied crowd OF spectators to the
court house.

she told a pitiful story of the inau-

Her father she said, had pleaded
with Dr. Doxey to stop giying her

live with him, she said, she was still
under the influence of the drug.
She had separated from her hus-
band at that time she said.
She denied vehemently that she

Of mall order business is the trade
in ladies' wearing apparel A num-
Der Of ladies patronize houses deal
ing in these goods without realizing
that in permitting themselves to be
ensnared by the exponent of the new
fad, the psychology of advertising,
they are laying themselves open to
criticism quite as much as the man
who is deluded into sending away
his dollars for goods which show up
beautifully in the catalogue, but have
decidedly different appearance
when he receives them.
"The regular mail order houses at
the present time have allurlng ad-
vertisements in the magazines in
which they offer apparently wonder
full bargains in ladies' suits. The
psychological feature Of the adver-
tisements seems to be the guarantee,
which is given great prominence. Of
course the reader is not expected to
draw the deduction that in case the
goods are not right the firm has
TO deal with the case
who is quite as expert in his line as
the high salaried man who writes
the ads. In the matter Of ladies'
suits it would not be difficult
matter to present a strong argument
in favor of making personal selec-
ton from a large stock in a store
known to be reliable, in preference
to sending to a distant city and buy
ing, as it were, cat in bag. The
local business unquestionably have
he advantage Of the best arguments,
Ind these is properly presented are
pound to prove effective.
