he gets information from all cities on
the demand for labor. He thinks Of
giving up his trade for the farm; says
he is tired Of living up his summers
wages during the winter. <
In way, farming is different from
any other occupation on earth. Take
the instance of the corn being best on
the spring blowing, perhaps it would
work out just opposite next season
and turn back again the, next. One
can never tell just how a certain meth
cd is going to work until too late to
make change. Weather rules the
farmer with an iron hand, while in
most other businesses the weather
cuts very little figure, except as it af-
fects the crops in general way.
A neighbor wishes it said that a
pint of crude oil to each pail of slop,
fed once day, will prevent if not
cure the cholera. This is only an
other of the many cholera preventives
and remedies that folks are apt to
have great deal of confidence in un-
til the "show down." when all are
very apt to fail. l have a friend who
had the cholera in his herd this fall.
He had remedy of his own. That
failed, so he began trying the pet
of his neighbors with no
better success. A remedy for hog
cholera is a good deal like natural gas
for heat, good until you really need
of the kind.

HANGS SELF IN JAIL CELL
MiIIard Estep's Joke" Ends
in Tragic Climax.
Coroner's Jury Returns Verdict of "Ac-
cidentaI Suicide" in Case of Man
Who Played Joke on Mate.

Lexington, KY, Jan. "A verdict
Of accidental suicide" was returned
by the coroner's jury here in the case
of Willard Estep, a young man who
hanged himself in his cell at the
county jail Estep, who had been sent
up as vag, was practical joker, and
several days ago frightened his cell
mate by pretending to hang himself,
and when his companion had sum-
moned aid by frightened calls for
help, deliberately loosened the chain
from around his neck and stood laugh
ing at the crowd at his cell door.
So much did the prisoner enjoy this
escapade that he determined to try 1t
again, but this time his companion
failed to respond to his pleadings for
help, and the chain became tangled in
such a manner that he could not re-
lease himself In the course of half an
hour his cellmate became alarmed and
summoned the jailer, who found the
prisoner dead.

Tenders Resignation to Take e.
feet at Pleasure of Board.
CHAIRMAN GARYS STATEMENT
Election of Successor to Mr.. Corey
May Not Occur Soon, If at ALL
Leaves Corporation With Best
Wishes of Officers.

New York, Jan. ALBERT H. Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, issued this statement:
after more than seven years of
faithful service as president of the
United States Steel corporation, Mrs.
William E. Corey has rendered his
resignation, to take effect at the pleas
ure of the board Of directors The
resignation will be presented to the
board for consideration in due time,
and the finance committee will then
present it's recommendations concern
ing the subject matter.
"It is the opinion Of the members
of the finance committee that there
should not be elected a successor as
president in the immediate future, if
at all. The experience and talents of
Mr.. Corey have best fitted him to take
charge of the manufacturing and com
mercial departments, and his atten-
ton has been largely confined to that
service, However, as the manufac-
turing companies are all thoroughly
equipped with the very best talent, in
Guiding such as the above mentioned
branches need, the strength of the or
ganization will not be diminished The
finance committee may recommend
the election of a vice president or
two vice presidents who will be eX,
pected to take special charge of differ
ent departments, and it is intended to
strengthen the whole organization in
every respect practical and useful,
"The relations between Mr. Corey
and the members of the board, and of
the finance committee respectively, as
we'll as all the officers of the United
States Steel corporation and sub
sidiary companies have been most
pleasant and agreeable. Mr.. Corey
sewers his connection with a feeling
of loyalty to, and friendship for the
corporation and its interests, and
the best wishes of all who are con-
nected with the companies above re-
ferred to-"

Bombay, India, Bankers Notify
Illinois Man of Inheritance.
ESTATE VALUED At S2,5OO,OOO
Speaker Views News With Skepticism
Basis of Request Said to Have
Been Kindness Done by Mr..
Cannon Long Ago.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Speaker Can
non has received a letter from King,
King & Co., bankers, Of Bombay, In
dla, notifying him that d woman client
Of theirs, whose name is mentioned
in the letter, having been warned by
her physicians that she had less than
six months to live, had deposited with
them her will for execution upon her
death in which Joseph G. Cannon, Of
DanVille, H., is made sole heir to an
estate valued at five hundred thousand
approximately $2,500,000. Mr.
Cannon seems to view the news with
some skepticism, although there
seems to be no particular reason why
any one in Bombay should endeavor
to perpetrate a long distance joke Of
this kind upon the sage of Danville.
The legacy, according to the letter
Of notification, does not drop on Uncle
Joe out of a clear sky, without rhyme
or reason. 1t is explained that many
years ago Mr.. Cannon, then a hard
working member of the rank and file
of the house of representatives, did a
favor, as the letter expresses it, "a
great deed of kindness" for a man
then poor and struggling, from whom
he could have expected no return.
That man went TO India, worked hard,
made investments, was fortunate and
accumulated a great estate Upon his
death he left his entire estate to King,
King & Co.'S client for life with the
stipulation that upon her death it was
to revert to Mr.. Cannon.
The present pOssessor of the for
tune, the letter explains, has suffered
from an incurable disease for years
and was recently told by her ply
sicians that her case was hopeless and
that she could not live longer than six
months at the most. Consequently
it is explained she Immediately made
her will and deposited it with King,
King & Co., in Bombay, where she is
at present living. The notification
came to the speaker in due course
Steps will be taken at once to ascer-
tain whether or not the communica-
ton is genuine and the facts concern
ing the fortune as stated. In the
meantime Speaker Cannon is curdling
his brains trying to think Of some one
among the many people for whom he
has done favors in his many years of
public service who might be grateful
enough to reciprocate by making him
heir to an immense fortune.
