BENEFITS coNTINUE-At the meeting of Typographical Union yes
 terday it was decided to continue out-of-work and strike benefits in- definitely. The Pressmen's Union also received instructions from their International to continue payments of all benefits. In this connection it may be mentioned that the appli- cation of the H. H McNeil company against the unions for an injunction after several hearings and postpone IHents was dismissed by Judge Kent at the law-da session of the district court on Saturday.
 WANTED-The police would like to have the owner of two suit cases that were hidden in Tribolet's barn yesterday and found by Mir. Tribo- let's Japanese chauffcr and turned over to them. to call at the captains office and tell his story. The Jap reported his discovery of the grips to Marshal Moore who sent Officer Hosmer after them. On recovering them Hosmer told the marshal they resembled two suit cases he saw in the hands of q man who got off a morning train yesterday. If they are the same ones, either the new ar rival sought rather peculiar place for their storage, or some one else stole them and sccrcted them. In either event the authorities would like to know the facts and restore the property to it's rightful owner. One of the suit cases was not locked and contained merely some wearing apparel that would be of use only to the owner or some person who wanted second hand clothes. The other suit case was locked and could not be opened without breaking it until key is found to fit it. It may be filled with diamonds or 1t may contain nothing of value. The owner will do well to call for it be- fore Mir. Moore is overcome with curi- osity and 'sssails it with an ax In the open suit case was a card bear ing the name of John Hsyze.

THE ADVANCE OF THE FAR
 WEST

The complete census of population of all the states and territories, pub lished in the Press of yesterday. is full of interest. but it's most striking feature is the striking exhibit of the great growth of the extreme west of this country. including in that desig- nation Oklahoma and the two Dako- tas. The states which more than doubled their population are all three Oklahoma. Idaho and Washington while the percentages all run high. Utah. with 34.9 per cent increase. is the only state in that section whose ratio of increase is not more than double the average for the Unit ed States.
 The banner state of the Union for percentage of increase is Washing ton. Oklahoma's prodigious growth of S66764 is d percentage of 109.7. It was the first reported of all the state populations and was believed to be unapproachable until Washing ton. unannounced until last Saturday. showed a gain of 622.9s7. which is less than Oklahoma. but it's per- centage of 120.4 easily leads all the rest.
 Another state which more than doubled its population in the past decade is Idaho. whose gain is 101 q. {. Its southern neighbor. Nevada. which has shown a losing or sta tionary population in the last three censuses. records an advance this year of 93.4 per cent. and. though with its Sl.S75 people it is still at

JOE MoNIHAN KNOWS - ]


 Monihan may be easy but 1t takes a foxy man to catch him twice on tn. same game. Those who have d notion of fooling their friends today on the swearing off gag in the hope of putting collection of free drinks under their belts, will do well to avoid trying it on MT. Monihan. A few days ago Joe was appriscd through third party that ccr- tain friend of his had sworn off for good and always. The next time Joe met him he though it would be splendid opportunity to test the mans self control and also to appear lib- eral. sOciable and convivial to a high degree without spending any money As they passed d well known joy fac tory he asked his friend if he would take d drink. When the response came in the affirmative Joc's jaw dropped notch or two and his face grew serious but he was game and entered the place expecting his friend to follow his lead and order a cigar. He was quite surprised when the order was placed for high ball. and before his guest was sat lated he had ordered six of them and seemed in no, hurry to leave. so Joe pleaded a previous engagement and went outside to count his cash. The next time he wants to treat he will pick out some confirmed old drunk ard who makes no pretensc of swcar- ing off but who has some apprecia- ton of when a man gets all that is coming to him.

HUMANE AND PROFITABLE.


 Harry Friedman, in his capacity of general protector of dumb brutes, went over to the Bartlett Heard ranch yes terday to see what he could find out. He met the foreman. Lars Larson. and told him his business. saying that he desired first to inspect the poultry. Mir Friedman found everything all right except one big. grain fed gobbler which. as a humane officer. he told MT. Larson ought to be killed at once for it was liable to die at any time of fatty degeneration of the heart and it would be much more hu mane to chop off its head and bleed it thoroughly. This was complied with and Mir Friedman then decided to stay for dinner. Later in the day he in spected the cattle and found a condi- ton very much to the credit of Mir. Larson and his employers. one that he could recommend as an offset to his adverse report on the practice of keep ing turkeys alive too long after they are fat This is a practice Mir. Larson has adopted during the present year and works beautifully. When he buys big bunch Of mountain cattle for pasture. instead of rebranding the cat tie on their arrival he buys the cow boy with them. or rents him until the stock is fattened and sold. to care for it in the pasture. The cowboy knows all the brands on the new cat tie and rebranding is unnecessary. The profit comes through the fact that under the old system of rebranding. which is painful to the animal. it takes steer a month to recover the flesh he loses by that operation. It is said enough meat can be saved on large bunch of steers that are not rebranded to buy one or two cow

DEMORALIZED
MEETING OF DEALERS IN NASH.
WILLIE TONIGHT TO EX-

The poultry and produce dealers
are all in the air about what to ex-
pect as a Christmas market. The fact
that low prices have prevailed during
the past month and that the volume
of supply has been rather meager
has been by some considered as an
indication that stronger prices
would be offered to get the stock on
the market This seems, however
to be without any material founda-
ton, as the following telegram re-
garding turkeys to a prominent deal
er here will show:
Quite a lot of turkeys in today, no
demand except few scalpers offering
fourteen cents situation is rotten
temporarily"
There is tc be a meeting of num-
Der of the dealers in this section of
the state at Nashville tonight for the
purpose of exchanging ideas regard
ing the holiday markets, and endeav-
oring to come to some conclusion as
to how to proceed. Columbia deal
ers will be represented at the meet
ing.
