equity asking that President George e.

turn over to the sheriff the body of
Rollin C. Caldwell, who died in this
county. January II, and whose body
was sold to the medical college by Mrs.

swears to the legal service Of the writ
of %replevin and says: THAT the said
George E. MacLain has wilfully and
contumaciously refused to obey said
writ in this, that he concealed, prevent
ed and refused to allow the sheriff to
take possession of said body under pre-
tense that it could not be identified

rected against him personally and in
dividually, he said, I am the State

NEGRO ADMITS five
REVOLVING CRIMES
Death Penalty for Assault
Apparently Has No Terrors
in Missouri.

Kansas City, Feb. 22.-William Jack
son, SO years old, the negro janitor
who last night confessed to assaulting
five young white girls, was taken be-
fore the grand jury today. Prosecutor
Conkling has promised that he shall be
tried Immediately.
Coming so close upon the hanging
here on February 8 of two negroes for
a~ssaulting a white woman, an intense
feeling against Jackson has been arous-
ed, but there has been no public dem
onstration.
jackson told last night that he had
bought roller skates and candy for
mis- victims to induce them to enter his
room. After he had confesser to this
an uncle of one of the girls attempted
to shoot the negro and shivering with
fright Jackson crept under a table.
Today Jackson still was fearful that he
would be killed and begged the officers
to rrOtect him.

HERE'S BEATING THE
HIGH PRICES GAME
People Band Together in Mutual
Concern to Raise Their
Own Food.

New Orleans, Feb 21.--A method of
solving the cost of living was presented
here today in the granting Of a char
ter to the Consumers Household Sup
ply company. The movement was in
itiated here a few days ago with a cap
ital of $4,000 and the announced pur-
pose of purchasing q large farm and
supplying the larders of share holders
with many of the accessories of life.
In the beginning the products of sup
ply will be vegetables. poultry and
eggs. Eventually the company expects
to establish a supply of dairy and cat
tie products. The company will be OPP
Grated on a purely mutual basis, with
just enough profit charged to pay the
expenses of operation. If the corpor-
alton proves satisfactory it is said that
it will be enlarged and take into its
scope thousands of people.

New York. Feb. 22.-Bradstreet's
Saturday said:
Trade reports are rather more cheer
full. Visible. evidences OF expansion in
jobbing trade, III conSonance with the
advance of the season, are found in
the reports that the large numbers of
buyers in leading markets.. especially
In the west, southwest and parts of
the south, have taken hold more freely,
although even in the markets of the
southwest, whence best reports come,
there are evidences of conservatism,
based largely on the high prices asked
for goods. Jobbing trade at the east is
slower to open up. but there Is Ger
tainly more doing In jobbing at New
York. while primary dealings are still
markets fails to s~ubstantiate the exag-
gerated reports of cancellations noted
for some time past, and there are few
signs Of the widely heralded reaction
in d~istributive trade. Many points re-
port no cancellations to speak of. Sew
eral cities report countermands no
greater than normal, and only a very
few report that in a few lines, notably
clothing, has there been any special ef-
feet. The least favorable feature in the
country's trade at present is the con-
tinued sagging in export trade in farm
products, in an effect easily traceable
to the high prices ruling for bread
stuffs, meats, animals and cotton. In
connection with this it might be noted
that all high price records in western
markets since 1870 We're broken by live
hogs this week.
Manufacturers are well supplied witt
orders. Western shoe men are running
TIC capacity. There is rather less pes
simism in the iron n steel trades. Be
ports from the Pacific coast lumbel
trade are good. Collections are from
slow to fair.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with Feb
ruary II were 269 against 249 last week
2S2 in the like week of 1909, 326 in 1908
III in 1907, and 1856 in 1906.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review O
trade today says:
Improved financial conditions serv'
to strengthen business confidence. Sen
timent in iron and steel is more cheer
full now that the United States Stee
corporation has entered the market a
a buyer of pig iron. although the sit
uation on the whole in this division
still remains somewhat disappointing
No cancellations are reported, however
and shipments are we'll sustained, ex
cept where severe weather has delaye,
transportation. Some railroads hav
found it necessary to replenish old roll
ing stock because of the wear and tea
caused by an unusually hard winter
and a western system alone has place
an order for 70 locomotives. Activit
is especially pronounced in the wir
trade, and the reported weakening Q
prices is not general. The dry good
market trade was more active thi
week, and a large sale of dress good
in a leading New York house prove
