CAIRO FEARS
MORE TROUBLE
Authorities Are Apprehensive Of
What Today and Tomorrow
May Bring.
MILITIA Is GUARDING STREETS
Animosity Towards Sheriff Dies Down
When il is Learned Mob Leader
Halliday's Death Was
Probably instantaneous.

Cairo, H., Feb. 19.-Surrounded by a
hundred infantrymen, the twelve con-
victed prisoners. sentenced yesterday
to varying terms in the Chester prison,
were hurried to the depot and out Of
town early this morning to prison.
Among the prisoners was John Pratt,
the negro purse snatcher, whose arrest
resulted in an attempt to force the
Jail and lynch him, with the result
that one of the mob was killed and
four other persons injured. Last night
passed quietly and without disturb
ance.
Officials military and civil, are ap-
prehensive of what today and tomor-
row may bring forth, however as
thousands of laboring men will be free
to roam the streets after noon today
until Monday morning. as the shops
and factories close Saturday after
moons.
Militia were distributed about the
city at noon and the streets patrolled
by squads of soldiers under orders to
prevent any disturbances and break
up Immediately crowds that may col
lect.
The animosity toward the sheriff for
ordering the body of Alex Halliday,
the man slain during the attack on the
Jail, TO lie for three hours i'm front of
the building, has died down to II large
extent since the coroner's autopsy last
night disclosed Halliday's death was
probably instantaneous. Halliday's
funeral will be held tomorrow after
noon and may be made an occasion of
demonstration. A detachment of mill
itia will attend the services in antici-
patton of trouble.

pedition that W ut north under Capt.

ton party. He was in the thick of the
riots i'm Valparaiso, Chill. when a
number of American sailors were kill
ed and wounded, and 1t was he who
was the American governor of Samoa
in the ticklish days of 1901.

ONE MILLION NEW FARMS.
More Small Ones; Production in Last
Decade Doubled.

CCCddC DpuDlCQs
Nearly 100000 new farms have
been created in the United States dur
ing the last ten years. In this time
the total number of farms has in
creased Is per cent. In the Older
states from Ohio eastward there has
been going on for more than 20 years a
tendency toward an amalgamation Of
farms distant from market into larger
holdings. on the other hand this Sec
ton has witnessed the cutting up into
smaller sizes of many farms nearer to
market. There are now almost three
times as many farms as i'm 1870, and
an unprecedented increase in the value
of farm lands, and live stock is the
even more momentous fact revealed
by this inquiry. The land I'm farms
with their buildings, improvements
and live stock is today almost $3O,-
100000, a gain of A per cent in 10
years. Present values are two ana
one-half times the farm values of 20
years ago. In the north central states
the increase in the value of farms Is
43 per cent: i'm the south central states
5S per cent: in the north Atlantic 10
pcr cent. and i'm the south Atlantic
"a per cent
The value of the farm production IN
1909. according to this exhibit, shows
an increase over 10 years earlier OF
inst about 100 per cent for the United
states. The increase I'm 10 years for
north Atlantic states is n per cent;
south Atlantic states. 81 per cent
