GOOD YEAR FOR FARMERS
Statistics Show Average Prices Of
Leading Crops Were High.

Washington, Jan. 13.-A picture
which reflects the prosperity OF the
country, and especially that Of the
farmer is drawn in the statement Of
domestic experts for 1909 prepared by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
Corn at 20 cents a bushel, wheat at
$1.O4 a bushel and about II cents for
every pound of cotton exported is the
record for 1909. More than $24 ,00O,-
900 worth of corn and $4,000, 900 OF
wheat went from American ports 20
feed the world last year. More than
$3.50. 900, 900 worth of. cotton went 10
foreign looms, and as these figures
show only the expectations from the
principal ports of trade, the detailed
statements will be larger.
While there are some decreases
shown from the year 1908, the show
ing is considered by the experts AS
highly satisfactory.

ROADS ARE BETTER
Effect of Extension of Rural
Free Delivery Of Mail Is
Noted.
POSTAL REVENUE GREATER
Amount OF Business Last Year Is
Double What 1t Was In 1905,
Official Report Shows.

Washington, Jan. 13.-An increase
of SO per cent in the amount Of mail
handled on rural delivery routes dur
over the fiscal year of 1905 Is shown
In the annual report of the fourth as
sistant postmaster, P. V. De Graw,
which was transmitted yesterday after
noon to the postmaster general. Com
menting upon this fact Mr.. De Graw
says:
This remarkable increase is con-
elusive evidence that the institution
of rural delivery has enlarged the
amount OF the mails handled and there
fore increased the revenue. This is
true, although 45 per cent of the bulk
of mail on rural routes is second class
matter, as the increase applies to all
classes of matter especially to letters
and postal cards. the latter due to the
enormous use of souvenir or picture
postal cards"
Many Petitions Filed.
The report shows that during the
last year 1876 petitions for rural de-
livery service of mail were filed with
the department OF this number Bel
were pending on June 80, 1909. OF
the 3,O15 petitions disposed of, 9O7. or
81 per cent, were rejected and 21OS
petitions were accepted for investiga-
ton.
There has been unprecedented i'm
provement of the condition of roads
by rural carriers" the re
port says. due to the intelligent and
well directed interest of postmasters
and carriers

President at Chicago-Other

New York. Jan. 13.-The governing
committee of the stock exchange yes
terday disposed of the Rock Island
scandal by suspendlng Simeon B.
Chaplin and F. D. Countiss-both Chi

spectively, and by authorizing Secre-
tary Ely to prepare to make a public

cotton houses in this city and Chicago.
Chaplin. the senior member, is a cousin
of J. Ogden Armour. Countiss has
charge of the Chicago Offices and is

change.
Modify the Original Penalty.
The decision of the governors ends
one of the sharpest contests. that ever
has been waged inside the stock ex-
change. Upon the report of the special
committee censuring the firm for its
action in the execution with the Rock
Island order, a great many influential
members of the exchange and several
of the more influential of its patrons
interested themselves to endeavor 20
persuade the governors that any sus-
pension would be an injustice. 1t was
commended on the firms behalf that no
other fault had been committed than
the literal execution of an order given
to it by a customer In the regular
course of business and that the firm
could be blamed for nothing more
than a mistake in execution. This
lead to a reopening of the case and
of the penalty.
Consider other Cases.
At the meetings Tuesday night and
yesterday the governors also took up
the cases of other brokers who han
died the buying orders for Rock Island
on the morning of the scandal. These
brokers insisted they had done moth

IN the act Of removing a quantity of
iron radiators and other material from
the old FACTORY building formerly oc-
cupied by the Rock Island Buggy COM
pany at Sixteenth street and First av-
enue
Phil Mitchell, the owner of the build
ing, was notified about IL o'clock that
something was being taken from his
building, and he hurried down to see
what was going on. He found the two
men carrying radiators and old iron
out of the place and piling it into their
wagons.
They had driven their wagons into
the driveway leading to a courtyard
behind the building, and their opera
tons were not observed from the
street.
Has Them Arrested.
: Mr.. Mitchell made the men stay
with him until the police arrived, and
then they were taken to the station.
They admitted having hauled away
some iron before being caught. and
this was found at the Brady junk yard
on Fifteenth street and First avenue,
and removed with the rest TO the POI
lice station. This afternoon they were
arraigned before Police Magistrate c.
J. Smith on a charge OF larceny, and
the trial was set for tomorrow after
noon at o'clock The two men were
released on bonds of $4,000 each, fur
ufShad nv May CoSpa
VIII Press Charge.
Mr.. Mitchell states very emphatical-
~ that he will press the charge
against the two men, as he believes it
is time to stop the stealing of junk
and other old iron which is going on
in the city all the time. The amount
which the two men had already Sc
cured from the shop was worth about
$50 and the fact that the radiators
were all installed and in working order
made their value three times that
much. The shafting in the shop is
worth about $500 and Mr.. Mitchell be-
lieves he would have lost this had he
not got wind of the job when he did.
Nothing short of an Indictment by the
grand jury will satisfy Mr.. Mitchell.
The two defendants claim that they
are innocent of the charge against
them and that they bought the iron
from a man whom they thought was
to sell It, They will be
given chance tomorrow to prove this.

THE KENTUCKY QUESTION.

Sing a song of old Kentucky,
OF the glories of her past,
OF her soldiers and her statesmen
Who have never been outclassed.
Sing a song of old Kentucky,
OF her bluegrass pasture land,
OF her horses and her cattle,
Which the worlds esteem command.
Sing a song of old Kentucky.
OF her queenly womanhood,
Who TO loneliness of person
Add the grace of heart and mind.
Sing a song of old Kentucky,
OF her cornucopial horn
Full of golden-brown tobacco
And the mellow juice of corn.
Sing a song of old Kentucky,
OF the glory crown she wears;
But yet and notwithstanding
She is needing some repairs.
