In Whistler's Butterfly Could Be Found
the Monogram J. w.

the Monogram J. W.
The mystic emblem or device of
sort Of Whistlerized butterfly was
adopted in the sixties by the eccentric
genius James Abbott Whistler, who
changed his name later to James Nc
Neil whistler.
Close study will reveal that this pc
culiar scroll is really a monogram OF
j. w. The earliest of the etchings to
bear the butterfly is Chelsea Wharf"
1868, but many paintings and etch-
ings after that date are signed "Whis-
tier"
Artists have sometimes signed their
pictures in some distinct form instead
of their names 1t generally was done
when the name might suggest some
emblem or symbol.

STATE FARMERS
Plant 10000
ACRES PEANUTS
Predicted That Four Million Bushels
Will Be Produced of New
Crop.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 16.-The farm
ers of Mississippi will plant from 1885,
600 to 10000 acres in peanuts during
the current year, according to- esti-
mates submitted by oil mill managers
and freight traffic managers at joint |
conference with the state railroad |
commission.
The estimate was based on statis-
tics carefully gathered by mill mana
gers and freight officials, for the pur-.
pose of ascertaining what freight rates
should be applied to traffic of this
character. The conclusion was
reached. but another conference will
be held here on Saturday, at which
it is expected that an amicable agree
ment will be entered into.
Railway officials state tht they are
willing to make all possible conces-
sions in order to encourage this new
branch of the farming industry in Mis-
sissippi, but they were unable to fur
nish the railroad commission with pro
posed tariffs until some information
: could be secured as to the probable
2 tonnage.
e Price Stays High.
: Oil mill managers express grave
: doubts as to whether they will be abb
n to handle the crop at a profit unles
y the price is reduced to from 65 to Z
cents per bushel, and they are there
d fore reluctant about installing the sp'
le cial machinery that will be needed fo
to crushing purposes. The peanut ma
ket today is quoted at 81 per BUSH
for the best varieties, and the past te
ct years the average has been about
cents per bushel, there being reat
demand for the American crop as
product for direct consumption, and
- will. take even more than the promis
n large increase of acreage througho
90 the boil weevil districts to balance t
nd import tonnage of peanuts, wni
We forms a goodly percentage of the c.
OF sumption in this country.
80 Expect Big Crop.
m Two years ago the peanut was
at known as a commercial crop in t
ero state. Last year its cultivation
~ confined almost exclusively to the
as weevii district, and a very limi
ing acreage. The average crop dur
~ the coming season, however, should
hla not less than thirty bushels per a
,cu- or about 100000 bushels for the
lme tire state. II the experiment pre-
by successful, of course, it will mea
car much larger crop with each succ
ase ing year, and become an impor

MILITIA GUARDS JAIL TO
PREVENT OGBURN LYNCHING

Pawnee, OKLA, July 91.-Fearing a
riot and the lynching of A. c. Ogburn,
who was brought to the Pawnee coun-
ty Jail Friday, charged with the muir
der of Joseph Plumley, Company F of
the Oklahoma national guards was or
dered out Saturday by Adjutant Gen
eral Canton and stood guard over the
Jail all night. While the situation had
quieted down over Sunday, the com.
pany was kept on duty Sunday and
Sunday night to prevent another out
break.
Ogburn is alleged to have killed
Plumley with a hand ak, following a
quarrel over the prohibition question.
The crime was committed Thursday
night, and there was bad feeling from
the time the slayer was arrested and
taken to Jail. Frank Manning, also
charged with murder, who is said to
be a bad man, is also confined in the
jail and it was feared that if a mob
was formed to lynch Ogburn that Man
ming would also be strung up.
The situation was $50 serious Satur-
day night that the county attorney and
sheriff of Pawnee county got Governor
Lee Cruce over long distance phone
and asked for assistance. The mes
sage was transmitted to General Can
ton, who at once ordered Major Grims-
ley, in command Of Company E, to as
semble the troops The order was
obeyed and within half hour a cor
don of guardsmen was thrown around
the jail. There was continued threats
against the two prisoners, but no dem
onstration was made.
Il do not look for any serious trou-
BILE now since the Jail is so well guard
ed" said General Canton Sunday even
ing, "but the guards will be kept on
the scene as long as there is any dan
ger of an attempted lynching"
