WHAT'S IN a NAMEY
Making of Panama Hats at Last TO
Be Panama Industry.

San Francisco Chronicle: The an
nouncement that at last panama hats
are being made in Panama will come
as an amusing surprise to those who
have always supposed that the popu-
lar summer headgear, for which phe-
nomenally high prices are paid when
guaranteed to the genuine panama,
has been imported from the land of
its name.
AS a fact they have been so i'm
ported, but the places of origin and
manufacture were Ecuador and Hon
duras. What lot of advertising those
countries have missed, and what a lot
Of gratuitous publicity has been reap
ed by the merely distributing center!
In many parts Of the world the hat
stands for more than the canal, and
Panama is better known for the woven
lid than the greatest work of engineer
ing in modern times.
Such is the magic of a name, and IL
the new industry is not discreetly ad-
vertised it is just within the bounds OF
possibility that the new Panama hat
actually made in Panama may come to
be looked upon as an imitation
AAC AAASNoAASC 10 ny AAO
Many a commodity bears the name of
place with which it has never had
the remotest connection, and this not
only in the case Of the spurious ar
ticle, but in those where the name is
either a matter of custom only or OF
custom arising from an accidental
circumstance.
When a name is derived from the
center of original production 1t usually
stands for the type and quality rather
than place where made. Cashmere
shawls. cambria handkerchiefs and in
Vulnerable other items might be cited
as showing how the place name has
been changed to signify a type but a
rarer case is that Of damask, the name
given to certain textile fabrics !. in
which figures are woven because of
their supposed manufacture at one
time in Damascus.
Damaskeening, or damascening, as
1t Is sometimes spelled, the art Of
producing upon ordinary steel certain
ornamental appearances, deceives no
one since, while it suggests the ancient
city, 1t also implies the imitation of
the famous Damascus blades, in which
the figures never could wear OFF, be-
cause the designs run through the en-
tire substance.
Meanwhile, and even If Panama has
had to import weavers from Ecuador
in order to encourage the infant indus
try of making Panama hats in Pana-
ma. we trust that the new makers of
the Jipijapa win be able to command
their share Of the trade.

STATE RESTED
THIS MORNING
STATE HAS WOVEN STRONG NET
OF EVIDENCE ABOUT M'cINLEY,
MAN ACCUSED OF NUMBERING
CHRIS Il. QUINN IN MooRHEAD
LAST SUMMER.

County Attorney Johnson rested in
the case Of the state against mckinley,
who is charged with the killing Cd
Chris H Quinn, who was found dead
in the city last July. Apparently the
prosecution has wound very closely
woven a net Of strong evidence about
the defendant to substantiate the In
dictment OF murder in the second de-
gree. 1t is a very serious matter for
the defendant for II he should be SEN
fenced to life term, II strictly means
life term in the state of Minnesota
under the law recently enacted which
does not permit any communication by
pardoning authorities,
One OF the last witnesses called by
the state today was A. j. Wright of
the undertaking firm, who received the
body of Quinn after 1t was brought In
from the site where it was found. The
witness testified as to its condition
and he was also questioned as to
points arising out of the post-mortem
examination of the wound on Quinn s
head by DR.. Humphrey.
Yesterday afternoon the witness told
Of the row between the two men In
the saloon, the day before the dead
body was found, which was precipi-
tated by Quinn tearing up begging
cards given to him by the defendant
Strong circumstantial evidence to to
the movement of Quinn, after the as
sault, was given by e. J.. Flaten and
two little girls who saw the man
Quinn lying under tree a distance
off the main street.-the same point
where the dead body was found the
next morning.

About L O'clock this morning, an
automobile was standing peacefully at
the door of Remley & Olson. but a
few minutes afterwards it was mer-
rily plunging through the windows of
the Solberg & Nelson grocery store.
Mr. Olson. of the first mentioned
firm, had occasion to use the ma
chine and was in somewhat Of "a
hurry and requested one of his men
to crank it for hint was cranked
all right and in moment afterwards
the machine turned towards the side
walk and into the east show window
of the grocery store it went causing
damage of not less than $75. No
one was hurt in the scrimmage. The
theory is that machine must have
been lea with the clutch in, and
the wheels slightly turned in the d.
rection Of the grocery store.

RrnnmhaII,a Report.

Liverpool. Oct. 2.-There was some
show of strength at the immediate
opening on the late steadiness in Am
erica yesterday and prices were un-
changed 60 ~ higher. Following the
opening arr during the remainder OF
tire morning dullness predominated
with an easier undertone and values
lost "a. The continued favorable re-
ports from Argentine and a free and
cheaper Argentine offer of new crop
wheat serves to check any attempts
at an advance. On this point the trade
is bearish as 1t is thought that what
ever shortage in other countries VIII
be offset by a large yield in Argen-
tine At 1870 p. m. the market was
dull and easier and changed to u
lower than yesterday. Corn opened
unchanged and later unchanged to II
higher with the undertone firm. The
strength Ia America and the flrmness
IN spot caused outside support. There
are fewer sellers of America.

SCHOOL CLOSING
CAUSED TROUBLE
NOBLE TOWNSHIP MEN BECAME
ENGAGED IN FIGHT WHICH
STARTED FROM THE CLOSING
OF A scHooL-c. w. WALTERS
GIVEN THE MINIMUM FINE.

In the county court this afternoon
before Judge Hanson. appeared c. w.
Walters. q farmer Of Noble township
who pleaded guilty to the charge of as
sault and battery. He was given the
minimum fine of IS and costs, by the
court, and he paid the amount.
The complaint was made out by ole
G. Keen, another Noble township
farmer who made the claims that Wal
tiers had struck him.
1t seems that the trouble started
over the closing OF the school in the
vicinity of the home of walters The
children OF Walters were left without
a school that they could conveniently
attend and there seemed to be no pro-
visions for their transportation to the
nearest school
The two men got into an argument
about the matter and the defendants
temper got the better of him. Both
men are highly respected citizens. Mr..
Walters came to the courthouse in his
touring car.

INCL eAM AS A pocToR.
May Undertake to Teach People How
TO Keep Well.

Memphis Commercial Appeal: The
agricultural department now sends out
pamphlets telling farmers in isolated
localities how to protect sheep and
hogs and horses from certain diseases,
or If the diseases are contracted, how
to treat them. Why should not the
same scientific sources tell the un-
trained parents how to keep their chill
dren we'll and strong?
The department does not undertake
to prescribe any compulsory course or
school Of medicine; it would merely
lay down the rules Of health that ell
medical schools must follow; and 1t
would stand as a perpetual warning
against the patent medicine, that is too
often but dope, which lulls pain
only to create a stultifying appetite
for itself
This is the kind of health depart
ment DR.. Wiley advocates. Neither he
nor those who stand with him in this
movement have any grudge against
any set Of doctors. All men Of healing
will look alike to the department so
long as they preach the doctrine OF
sanitation and let the drugs they adj
minister be free from aduIterants.
The family physician is national.
nay, an international, institution, and
such institutions are not to be tam
pered with. But there are tens OF
thousands of people who get sick be-
cause they do not know how to keep
well; and it is this untutored class that
the department would benefit with it's
preventative knowledge.

Chicago, oct. 25.-Corn shorts took
Profits yesterday, their buying being
mainly responsible for the firm clos
ing There was no appreciable IN
crease in the outside demand and To-
cal sentiment was a good deal mixed
with good weather there is not mueh
question but what receipts would be
heavy. and the bears are of the opin-
ION that at the present level Of prices
there is not much chance OF any Dig
Improvement in prices with the ne"
crop movement in full blast. Jas. A.
Patten stated yesterday he believed
there would be enough domestic ana
EXPORT demand for the corn the next
law months, and was Of the opinion
that prices for the immediate future
would depend largely on the weather
conditions. Several local professionals
IRE stu buliish for the long pull ana
believe that with the shortage in hay
and all coarse grains the demand VIII
be great enough to prevent any ac-
emulation here at other points.
