A regrett able event occurred at
Newmarket, Ireland, last week in the
shape of violent clash betewen the
followers of William O'Brien, leader
of the United Irish league, and OF
John Redmond, head of the Irish ma
tionalists. Clubs, fists and stones
were freely used and many cracked
heads resulted. The fight between the
factions waged so bitterly that the
police finally fred upon the crowd,
killing one and wounding many of the
belligerents. It is too bad that fac
tions should exist among a people
whose one aim is to secure self
government.

Washington county's agricultural
association has gone to pieces fact
which is to be deplored. The Still
water Gazette, in commenting on the
dissolution, says: "The last sad re-
mains of the Washington County
Agricultural society were properly
distributed Saturday afternoon, at a
meeting of the stockholders, which
was the largest attended meeting in
the history of the association. The
dividend returned is 30 per cent or
Whereabouts. No more county fairs
for Saltwater. They never paid and
never can be made to pay their ex-
penses.

METEORIC DUST.
Bombards the Earth In an Invisible,
Never Ending Shower.

Bombards the Earth In an Invisible,
Never Ending Shower.
Meteoric dust particles are infinitely
finer than grains of sand. They have
an interesting origin. Meteors or shoot
ing stars have been bombarding the
world from the beginning at rate es-
timated at many thousands an hour,
OF which, however, an average Of only
five or six are visible to the naked eye
in that time.
Owing to our protecting envelope Of
air few of these missiles reach us. In
weight meteors vary from few
ounces to many pounds. Occasionally
one is Of sufficient dimensions to sur
vive the passage of eighty to a. hun
dred miles through an atmosphere in
creasing in density as the earth is ap.
preached.
The speed at which they enter the
atmosphere, calculated at not less than
thirty-five miles a second, generates
such intense heat by friction that the
iron, of which the meteor principally
consists, is Immediately reduced to an
lncandescent vapOr, which is the lumi-
nous train so frequently seen in the
heavens on a clear night. The vapor
rapidly cools and condenses in the
form Of these minute particles, which
assume the spherical form, as does
shot during it's fall from the top of the
tower. -"
Finally the little spheres are scatter
ed by the winds and currents in the
upper air and gradually descend in
their millions as an invisible, never
ending shower. The perfect condition
in which these meteors are found is
due to the presence Of certain non
corrosive elements found by analysis
to be present in the metal of meteors
which have come to earth.-Chicago
Tribune.

measures which he recommended, with
the exception of one, became laws,

W. R. Mackenzie of Bemidji, secre-
tary of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association, estimates that
in the thirty counties belonging to
this association the census will show
an increase of so per cent in popula-
ton since 1900. The population of
these counties in that year was Alt, 313.
An increase of so per cent is a healthy
growth, but in the next ten years,
with proper inducements to settlers, it
should greatly exceed those figures.

The Twist Of Trees,

A singular uniformity has been OBJ
served in the twist of tree trunks. In
900 trees out Of every 1000 whose
trunks show torsion the direction of
the twist is from right to left. This
accords with the direction of the revo-
luton of cyclonic storms in the north
ern hemisphere and also with that of
whirlpools, which the French savant
Jean Brunhes says almost invariably
turn from right to left The question
arises whether in the southern hemi-
sphere the torsion of tree trunks has
an opposite direction, like the cyclonic
motions of the atmosphere in that half
of the globe.-Harper's Weekly.

rum is procured by distillation, and
this in a very simple manner. The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are

forms what is known as ebay oil,'

PRICES ADVANCE
 IN COTTON GOODS

New York. September 1.-The readjust- ment of cotton goods and cotton yarn values to basis in keeping with the cost of production was begun during the past week. Southern ginghams were advanced a quarter cent and half cent a yard and the fall price of s1a cents on Lancaster 734s was continued for the spring season the holiday.
 Merchants reporting mills have been making a steady effort to lift prices to a parity of cotton at 12h cents or higher, as the latest cotton crop estimates and the sustained holding prices of planters make strong raw material outlook which mills must meet or remain closed. The curtailment of production at the present time exceeds 50 per cent and 1t has been prolonged to an extent where scarcity is developing in many staples.
 Jobbers are doing a better business but they are still pursuing a conservative policy in their forward purchases. Re- tailers .are buying in better volume but they are still cautious about long future engagement, the general disposition being to await the result or consumers puylhg at the counters when the fall trade starts up. Stocks of cotton goods in first hands are limited and both wholesale and re- tail assertments are broken. The feeling in the primary markets is that as soon as anything like normal demand is noted prices for goods will rise tor levels that will stimulate a larger production Meanwhile the firmness of the primary markets grows steadily and jobbers are less willing to sacrifice stocks in hand at values below the costs of replacement.

GERMANS PROTEST
 AGAINST HIGH PRICES

Cologne. September "A strong movement in protest against the high prices of meat has begun in many Ger man cities, especially in the western part of the country. number of meetings held yesterday and today brought a short arraignment of the governments policy in restricting the importation of live stock and the main tenance of high meat and animal duties in the interest of farmers.
 number of Saxon municipalities ap- pealed to the government to use its in fuence in the federal council for the re- opening of the frontiers to cattle and ment The Saxon government in reply to the appeals says that no relief would be possible through a reduction in duties or the opening of the frontiers as prices have risen equally in Austria and the other countries and that all though the laws allow the importation of 0,000 hogs from Austria yearly only 450 were imported the first half of the year.
 The Cologne town council this week will discuss measures of relief. includ- ing the raising of the embargo on cat tie and meats at the frontier. Accord ing to all indications the imperial gov ernment will take no action in the line of free imports of animals and meats.

ACCIDENTS CAUSE
 DELAY OF TRAINS

On account of an accident on the Louis- vile and Decatur division yesterday train operations on the Louisville and Nashville railroad for points south were very much demoralized.
 The trains one in the morning and the two sections for each train. Both sec tions were late in reaching Birmingham. The train due here at s:25 o'clock in the morning was two hours late, while the second section did not reach here until near noon. The second section of the afternoon was several hours late, while the first section of the same train was one hour late. The trouble could not be as- certained in Birmingham last night.
 The trains operating to the north were both on time.
 Several cars of a freight train on the Frisco were derailed near Jasper yester- day, which tied up the main line several hours The accident occurred in a bad cut, and 1t was very slow work in lift ing the derailed cars from the main line. The accident did not result in the injury of any one.
 The fast train leaving here at noon for Colorado was two hours late after passing the wreck This train was operated to the scene and remained there until the track was cleared. The train due here in the afternoon was an hour late on ac- count of the accident.
 Conditions were in good shape last night
