very favorably with its architectural
beauty and its roominess for the various
officers. The gentlemen, being from
KingwOod, are very much interested in
a new court house-to be built at King

decision in the boundary line case some
of the environs of Terra Alta wilIbecome
MARYLAND territory and then Terra Alta
willibe so near the state line that she may
petition to become part of Maryland,
thereby eliminating the need and conse-
quent expense of erecting a new court
house at that place, for the one at Oak
land, already built and equipped, will
be located near Terra Alta as the one
at Kingwood and is on the Main Line as
well. Come over into Maryland, Terra
Alta; your citizens are wide awake and
ambitious, moreover they are splendid
people, and we shall welcome you with
outstretched hands.

PEACHES SWAMP
ST. LOUIS MARKET
One Hundred Carloads Arrived from
the South, Breaking All
Records.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: All rec
ords were broken Yesterday in the st.
Louis produce market when it was
literally glutted by the receipt of 100
car loads of peaches for st. Louis con-
sumption from Texas, Arkansas and
Georgia. Eighty carloads of this sup
ply came via the Iron Mountain rail-
road. In addition there were 1870 cars
of through shipments for outside GUS
toners of ST. Louis dealers.
Pm. Kelly of the P. M. Kiely &
Co. commission merchants, who has
been in business for forty years in st.
Louis, said yesterday, he had never
seen anything to equal the influx of
peaches during the last FIVE or six
days. He said yesterdays receipts
broke all records, and made 1t an i'm
possibility to clean up the market.
Prices have gone all to pieces, and
the very finest fruit is selling at from
seventy-five cents to s1.25 per bushel,
wholesale. The peaches are all of the
Elberta variety, which comprises about
three-fourths of the entire crop of Tex
as, Arkansas and Georgia 1t is esti-
mated the present supply will last
about week. and wise housekeepers
may do well to do their canning this
week It is estimated the rush of fruit
will let up by the end Of the present
week, and that prices then will begin
to advance again.
The distributors are working night
and day in their efforts to handle the
enormous supplies of peaches at a
profit, but they have been unable to
do so. With fine stock so abundant
and cheap nothing can be done with,
common stock, and fruit that is over
ripe, soft or improperly packed, is be-
ing sold at very heavy sacrifice.
Two carloads of Texas Elbertas. re-
frigerated stock, brought only thirty
five cents to forty cents crate de-
livered. One car of the same variety,
extra fancy stock, sold at fifty cents
to nfty-three cents per crate, while an
other car OF the same stock brought
only forty cents. One carload in BUSH

dress before the teachers associa-
ton was the only one which he pos
sibly could make in Des Moines.
To meet the open dates of Colonel
Roosevelt and secure him for the
state teachers meeting 1t was neces-
sary to change the dates for the
meeting to Nov. 10, II and u.

lessor Kicker is as follows:

Rare Eggs Of Familiar Birds.

To one not conversant with ornithol.
ogy the statement that the eggs and
nests of some well-known birds remain
yet to be discovered must appear sur.
prising. Yet such is the case.
The eggs of the curlew sandpiper,
for instance, bird familiar in Great
Britain. were first discovered not SO
long ago on an island at the mouth of
the Siberian river Yenisei.
There are few other birds whose
eggs have not yet been found, since
they make their nests in remote re-
gions. although living part of their
lives among civilized men.-Harper's
