The tide of immigration is rising,
and the officials at New York say
April and May are likely to be record
breakers in this respect. More than
5000 aliens arrived at Ellis Island the
other day, and still they come. The
circumstances will lead to fresh sug-
gestions as to the desirability Of re-
stricting immigration. But it cannot
be denied that the facts point to
strong belief abroad in general pros
perity here. immigration falls off
quickly when commercial and indus
trial depression exists.

A TWO HANeINes.
George jackson and Robert Davis, Ne
groes, Were to Die Friday.

Jefferson City.-Governor Hadley
stayed the execution Of Robert Davis
of Kansas City and George Albert
Jackson of Mississippi county, both
negroes, until June 10. Both were to
have been hanged Friday, May 81.
The execution of Davis was stayed
because a question as to his sanity
has been raised. The respite was
granted to Jackson because no appeal
was taken to the supreme court In
his case, and doubts have been ex-
pressed as to his guilt. He is only
20 years of age, and was convicted OF
attacking an aged white woman.

OLD STORY IN SAME OLD WAY.
Kansas Already Asking for c%oIIegians,

Columbia.-A. j. DriesbaaS, a farm

written to the University Of Missouri
asking for is strong college men to
harvest and thresh on his farm this

wanted college men. From his expe-
rience with them in the last two
years, he says, they are much more
to be depended on and do more work,
in the long run, than any other class
of men who work in the harvest
fields.

DISTRICT REPuDiATED BY Asso-
CATION FOR SIGNING lNpi.
vIDuAL CONTRACTS.
OWNERS TO WAGE FIGHT
Attack on constIutionaIity Of Shot
Hrer's Law is Next Move
Miners See End Of
Strike.

Chicago, Il1inois.-An aggressive
fight against striking Illinois miners
was begun by the Coal Operators as
ISOLATION. The work Of distributing
copies Of the proposed contract Of
fered by the operators to the strikers
in every mining town in the state was
started and measures for an attack on
the constitutionality Of the shotf1rer's
law are being drawn UP. At a meet
ing the operators in the Belleville dis
trict, who signed individual contracts
Wednesday with the miners, were 81
PEELED from membership.
Resolutions declaring that there
must be one contract for all or no con-
tract of any KIND were adopted.
The association is to arrange for
meetings with railroads, manufacture
ers' associations and other large con-
sumers of coal to lay all the facts be-
fore them.
The most significant clause in the
resolutions adopted provides:
Former Advantages Threatened.
THAT the miners of Illinois be Civ
en- a reasonable time in which to &C
cept a contract carrying with it the
same advances accepted in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, pursu'
ant to the demands of the National
Convention, and that meanwhile the
advisory committee be directed to for
mulate a competitive contract along
the lines OF the Indiana contract for
adoption by the association in case II
becomes advisable to withdraw the
existing offer and take this offered op
portunity to correct the gross Unequal
tiles heretofore existing between this
and the states east"
This clause means that IL the oper
ators are successful in defeating the
miners, some of the advantages which
the men have enjoyed v other
states during the last 10 years will be
taken from them. The differential be
tween pick and machine mined Goa:
will be increased by the operators
from Z cents to IA cents, as In In
diana, and the operators also will try
to abolish the mine-run system o.
wages. In most of the other states
the miners are paid only for coal thai
passes over a screen, while in Illinois
the men are paid for the coal as 4
comes out of the mines. !

followed by the leading men in every county in the state The state agricul- tural department has a standing prize list for different farm products and it has been stimulant for better results. Some counties this year also offered prizes and in few instances individuals supple mented the prizes
 The boy corn growers of Alabama should be encouraged in every way pos- sible. They have done great work this year and will do greater work next year. The reward of success compensates in a great measure for the efforts that these boys are putting forward, but they should be appreciated by every interest in the state, all of which are greatly benefited by the great corn growing movement.
 Money or other awards given to these boys is not lost. It comes back many fold in more independent and far l more worthy citizenship.
 One or the most prosperous farmers or Autauga county, whose name I am not at liberty to use, was once a chronic growler. He used to come to the county seat several times week to moan his dirge of calamity He used to cut pine boxes with his jack knife in front of the general store and cuss the government, the Wall street gamblers and "stiff-necks with | high collars" fs-zas 4..t l On one occasion some years ago he was complaining of the utter impossf- liility of making a living any longer; otton was cheap and the lands unpro- iuctive.
 A business man heard his complaint and reproved him. Why don't you quit raising cotton and plant some thing else," said the business man.
 T can't raise anything but cotton. It Is the only crop that I can turn into money"
 If I had your farm I would put some cattle on it., said the business man. You have plenty of running wa ter on the place and your land is as good as any in Autauga county You can raise all the corn and hay you will need to feed 0 small bunch of cettle. The cattle will make the land richer and the butter and milk that you could produce will bring you more ready money and at less expense. than the cotton you now raise."
 The farmer closed his jack knife and began to study. He went home that night still studying. He got up next morning with the suggestion still on his mind. He had made failure rais- ing cotton. It could do him no harm to try.
 He visited some of the fine stock farms in Montgomery and adjoining counties and studied their methods. He bought a few good cows and established q dairy business.
 This was only few years ago. When he' comes to town now he has no time to whittle box-wood. He hurries around to collect money from his regular cus- toners and then to the bank to deposit his profits. He has quit raising cotton for living and has also quit "cuss-
 ing" the government.
 Today this man Is one of the most independent in the county.

q have no official information from Washington on the plans for opening one of the postal savings banks at Bessemer, said Dr. c. R. Lewis, postmaster of Bes- semer yesterday.
 Tt will probably be January i before all arrangements have been completed and the system is ready for operation The postmasters at the places which
 have been designated for trial of the system will probably be called to a con- ference in Washington during the next 6e days. though we have not yet received information to this effect.
 "The department will do all in It's power to give the savings bank a fair and thorough test and great care has no doubt been taken in the selection of the points of location. One postal savings bank is to be opened in each of the sev- ,eraI states of the union and such places have been selected as promise the best conditions for fair test of the plan.
 "Bessemer Is a good point for one of the banks. We have cosmopolitan population here and conditions are excel ! lent for a trial of the system. We have great number of day laborers and many foreigners, many of whom are slow to deposit their savings in the commercial banks. Bessemer also has a good average type of public citizens who may be par tial to the safety that is offered by the postal savings bank. g r1sz4 When the bank is opened in Besserner we shall do all in our power to give 1t a fair trial and make success of the venture"

REAL SULTAN OF SULU
 ARRIVES HAVING HAWKED
 PEARLS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

He has a few jewels with him, it is true, including a diamond on thGA2ittle finger of his left hand that was so gross that he couldn't bend the finger. Some of these Jewels Hadji is going to give away as souvenirs, provided the high cost of living doesn't use up what is left of the $300,000- Should this happen Hadii will make another exchange of pearls for pesos.
 As to an American wife there's ab- solute1y nothing doing. WerbeI ex- real. fo' sure Sultan, Hadji had four wives but by various processes reduc- ed the number to one, with whom he still lives without the traditional spice of an additional affinity.
 Hadji overheard the interviewer's question; concerning his matrimonial affafEs, and he mustered up what little English he knows and exclaimed:
 ..No good; fighting all the time. One wife; no more.''
 Among the first persons regarding g whom the Sultan inquired were PEesi- dent Taft. whom he knew when Taft was Governor of the Philippines. Mrs Nicholas, Longworth, as Miss Alice Roosevelt, toured the Philippines, met the Sultan and-whisper it 1ow-won the little fellows heart. He will meet Taft while here.
 When told that George Ade had written a comic opera called the ttSu1- tan of Sulu'', Hadji expressed a, desire to see it, and was disappointed when told that it was no longer being play ad
 He was told, however, that Ade's Sultan of Sulu'' cocktail can still be made and he may try one, notwith- standing the fact that a whiskbro om goes with every one to clean floor space for the resulting fit.
 Hadjfs trip is not all for pleasure and while here he will try to get Q number of American school teachers and Fjlipinos who have been educat- ed in this country to go to the is lands and aid in the uplift of his people. He's really serious-nninded Sultan on this subject.
 The Sultan and his suite were load ed into taxicabs and whisked off to the Hotel Astor. / Their anaZem ent at the size of New York buildings and the roar of traffic was eIoquently ex- pressed in the almost frightened sil- ence they preserved as they gazed from the taxicabs.
